Thanks for posting this, Roy. Great song, Laura. Soon the people who dragged our county through their muddy motives will be gone.

Yes, we CANNED them.

Seconded.

But CAN America?

Obama won't push it into the abyss, but I'm not sure he's doing enough to ensure the next Republican won't push it into the abyss.

(Particularly sour about him not prosecuting the torturers and not preventing the bankers from giving themselves millions in bailout tax moneys as bonuses for screwing up in the first place.)

Uhm... illegal war - check, suspension of rights - check, torture - check, deportations -check, suspension of rule of law - check, check, checkity check.

The last administration WAS fascist. And defending it is not something you want to do.

And what will you be singing when these chickens lay an egg and the roosters come home to crow???  Bah Bah Black Sheep or By By Black Sheep?

You know, with the whole, government running GM, Obama firing CEOs of private companies, unprecidented spending and printing of money to pay for it, theres is a strong arguement that we are rapidly decending into communism and ecomonic conditions similar to the old soviet union, and i read the same opion from a columist in "Pravda" just last week looking at America from Russias perspective and where they have been and where they see us going. the timing of your post and my reading that article

[ArianneHermida]

What would that be, bluegsp?

[bluegsp]

Theres something terribly ironic in your post

[ArianneHermida]

Wutzernutzer,

The previous administration was not fascist. It was unintelligent, ignorant, misleading, and hurt America, but it was not fascist. That's a ridiculous claim. Saying that is like saying the current administration is Communist.

umm I feel that is a very sad song
