Weiner is the fucking man! future president right there

Weiner / dean 2016

Living in a corporate-monopolized shithole might be working out for you now, but it won't for long if we keep going down this path.

I'm sorry you're too dense to understand why progressives do what we do, but in the end if we don't, there will be no middle class left-and 99% of the former middle class-will end up on the poor side.

We will become a 3rd world country. In some ways, we already are.

The rest of the world is passing us up and you don't realize it.

Thanks for the stupidity.

Its funny how the more that the democrats and liberals kept trying to push the health care reform bill through opposition is mounting.

[scarletletterman84]

wow. another sellout of public welfare to corporate interest.

honestly people, how much more are you willing to take?!

[fireking9934]

and the democrats, look for the goverment to give them all kinds of stuff, they ask the goverment for free stuff, free this free that, democrats are to lazy to get a job and look and bow down to there master goverment for shit..... stop looking for the goverment to give u shit...... do it on ur own...

They still voted against it with the Pubic Option.

we all do what we have to in order to cope, and not go crazy. and of all the things you can use to help, herb is one of the standouts.

we do what we must, cheers!

@ LegioNoFZioN

Nope. You got that right, no good answer. What I do is write, do activities to feel I am taking positive action. Otherwise I would go crazy; smoking a joint helps dull my angst when I can find it.

Living next to Fermi Lab helps. Particle physics, the thought matter is simply energy, slowed. Takes my mind away imagining subatomic particles.

Then I make metaphysical arguments and get flogged by people who say I'm nuts... Something to do!

costa Rica is nice, but I'm with you on the new language thing. I could, but I enjoy speaking english. I can't imagine what it must be like for a person who has lived through the crushing defeat of Kennedy's assasination, and through to all of this crap. left or right our politicans are constantly screwing with us. its almost like there is no good answer.

@ LeGioNoFZioN

I have friends who have left for Costa Rica. How I envy them, but my husband refuses to think about learning a new language and country at this time in his life and it seems too late. But, if I was 20 years younger I would push harder to go.

It all came to an end when they murdered JFK in broad daylight in front of millions of people in 1963, with the final nails in our coffin under Bush. Obama is the grave digger.

At least the Romans gave their people pot; we arrest them.

[LeGioNoFZioN]

I agree, and I am fortunate, because as much as some of these same things go on up here in Canada, my parents came from a third world west indian country. If things get real bad, or even if freedoms are curtailed to the point I don't want to live here, I have the option of easily leaving. its sad but I find visiting the caribbean that they have more freedom than we do up here.

Really what happened, is the corporation pays off the Congress, who screws-over the people. It's been going on so long now, there is hardly anything left to steal. That's why we are doing generation-theft now. How can people not yet born, defend themselves? I say to my grown kids, "please do not have children; they will be enslaved by these bastards and this is no way to live."

When I came along in the 1950's the US was strong, but now it is an empty shell, crumbling....
