Angry stallion!
Mar. 24th, 2011 07:34 pmAll right, America, enough is enough. You idiots who believe everything you hear from Limbaugh or Fox News frauds. You idiots who voted the "tea party" candidates into office last fall. You utter, total, fracking idiots who are so easily led around by your noses and so short-sighted that you can't see the truth. I'm talking to YOU!
The current financial disaster and economic depression, which has NOT ended, regardless of what the talking heads on the boob tube are telling you, was caused by selfish greed yes. But it wasn't caused by public employees like teachers, police officers, or firemen. It was caused by big capitalists: bankers, brokers, hedge fund scammers who took huge risks with YOUR money, built a phony bubble on their lies, and when it broke they scammed the government into bailing them out with more of YOUR money so they could keep their multi-million dollar bonuses and cushy golden parachutes. Those people are laughing at your stupidity even now, and pulling the strings of the tea party puppets they appointed to keep you fooled into supporting their continued thefts. They are parasites. They do nothing to contribute to productivity or wealth (other than their own ill-gotten gains.) No matter how much we give them, it will NOT "trickle down" to create real jobs with any kind of decent pay, or health care, or retirement security. They care only for themselves. Can't you see that? Why do you keep falling for their lies?
Why are you standing by while they try to make up the deficits they created by robbing the poor, the elderly, and the public employees who have given far more to their jobs than any crooked banker ever does? Why are you allowing them to take away pensions, health care, and the ability to bargain from the very people who work FOR you every day to keep your streets safe, your roads clear, to save those injured in collisions or other disasters, to educate your children? What are you thinking? Are you so wrapped up in your own selfishness, your own narrow-minded bigotry, your own (hopeless) wish to one day be one of those big financier crooks yourself that you don't see where this will lead?
Do you really want to live in a lawless society, run by the wealthy chiefs of laissez faire capitalism? One where everyone not only can buy all the guns he wants, but is forced to carry them for safety at all times? One where the desperate poor slave for nothing with no hope of retirement or health care (as they did in the 18th and 19th century factories and mines, or in the 13th century when they were serfs without any joy or hope in life?
You are asking to be one of those same poor serfs. You have elected people whose real plan is to put you in that position and keep you there for their own gain. How can you be so blind that you don't see this now? Look at what is going on all across the US, as state governments seek to balance their budgets by robbing the very people who keep things running and in order, rather than punishing the rich bankers who created the mess. No one, not even Congress or the Federal Courts, seems to have the guts to stand up to these robber barons.
It will come to revolutionary violence at this rate. Mark my words, and remember them. I know, I know, you can't remember what happened when Nixon or Reagan were in the Whitehouse. All you remember about the Clinton administration is the sex scandals. You don't remember how both of the Bush administrations sold our natural resources and our very lives to their corporate masters for a mere pittance (and personal favors untold, of course.) And no, I don't think Obama is much better. He's a fraud, a wimp, and has failed to keep any promise fully or even to make a serious effort to do so. But the latest crew you've put into office represent a return to the worst excesses of the past half century. Endangered wildlife slaughtered for the amusement and convenience of hunters and corporations, water polluted with poison, lands despoiled forever, schools closed, knowledge censored and stricken from educational curricula, and your privacy and rights violated again and again by your own implicit consent.
It's no wonder I'm ashamed to admit I was born in this country. It's a land of morons, willful ignoramuses, blind fools, and greed-wracked criminals.
