Music: "Clubbed to death" by Rob Dougan

"Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.'"
- George Carlin

"I have solved this political dilemma in a very direct way: I don't vote. On Election Day, I stay home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain. Now, some people like to twist that around. They say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain,' but where's the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote -- who did not even leave the house on Election Day -- am in no way responsible for that these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess that you created."
- George Carlin

Please rework the slideshow so that the yellow text does not overlap the images. This is a good video concept that is thought provoking. It's just too hard to read.

no peter Joseph DID NOT say that. THat quote should be attributed to Lord Acton, British moralist, historian, politican. Quote was said in the late 1800's.

No one should respect a person that doesn't have respect for his own country.

He kept the american people safe for 6 years after the largest attack on american soil in our nations history. He did everything he could to protect the citizens of this country from terrorism. Carter was a terrible president, Bush was decent. Not good.

Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death.- Hitler.
Hitler might had been a bastard, but he was right. Terrorism was only used by Bush for a key to control people, and to keep the plan of the New World Order.
