No amount of political fiddling will change what 'we the people' have become, it's all useless.cjknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-1892736241840996692015-05-23T16:56:49.460+01:002015-05-23T16:56:49.460+01:00As a direct descendant of real patriots, spent th...As a direct descendant of real patriots, spent that winter at Valley Forge patriots, whom the ORIGINAL George W sent in to Philadelphia to see what those damn British were up to patriots, it seems to me no longer acceptable to vote for the lesser of two evils when I seeboth D and R as threats to the Repuvlic as those patriots envisioned it. If I don't see you as part of tbe solution I'll vote for whomever is. I'll write in if I have to and work to have you defeated. To me it seems the only morally acceptable action to honor the ghosts of those patriots.<br /><br />And keep in mind tar feathers pitchforks and torches are still readily available.midnight riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18438029111428393889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-9446011645963498872015-05-23T16:49:28.611+01:002015-05-23T16:49:28.611+01:00Yes, we are this stupid.

As long as we can have two + cars, several TVs, lap tops, and as many electronic gadgets required to numb our senses, we are happy and do not question reality. Go to any entertainment park like King's Dominion or Disney's and look around. Overweight, "Idiocracy" looking people, chewing on turkey legs and drinking sodas from buckets because "oversizing" it costs just a few pennies. Who needs basic health knowledge, when we can all eat as much as we want?<br /><br />Try to find Vietnamese immigrants fitting that pattern, or most other immigrants coming from lands where jobs were a privilege, and rights non existent.<br /><br />As I said before, we fit the proverbial boiled frog, who died smiling, unaware of what was really going on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-60379262804522166162015-05-23T13:59:23.733+01:002015-05-23T13:59:23.733+01:00Yes, we are in real existential trouble.

None of this makes sense.<br /><br />A few years ago, after the ""Stimulus package" i told MR, the Stimulus did not look like Stimulus to me so much as a cashing out on America by those in charge.<br /><br />This looks even more like that. <br /><br />Like a CEO breaking the corporation up into pieces and selling it off for the benefit of Stockholders.<br /><br />WE THE PEOPLE ARE NOT THE STOCKHOLDERS HERE.<br /><br />I agree, absolutely, it makes no sense that Obama's approval rating is still in the 40's. Have the American people gone into full blackout mode? Are we this stupid?<br /><br />I don't understand it. <br /><br />Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.com
