You're right ....... Washington needs to be washed out like a dirty diaper bucket ....... republicans and democrats .......everybody needs to be replaced.
If we look at the results of our political process, we have to say it is totally broken.
I can't think of any other place in America where you can find so many weasels, liars and thieves as in Washington, DC.
Doing what's right always has consequences ....
We're in this mess because people did what was "profitable" rather than what was right.
Let's just have a bunch of zombie banks soaking-up the public's tax money.
Anything that is "too big too fail" should never have been allowed to exist to start with ......
The chickens have come home ........ suck it up and let it go.
Also, every 15 seconds, an American declares bankruptcy because of medical bills .....
The citizens of no other industrialized country have to go to sleep at night with that hanging over their head.
One illness ..... one unforeseen accident ..... and in one week you can lose everything you worked a lifetime for .....
The US is listed 34th by the WHO (due to lack of access) ...... which puts our medical system in league with Costa Rica.
Very few real men left ....
The students ....... entranced by ipods, youtube, computers and video games, theirs is an ego of entertainment and sensations.
They don't know who or what they are .....
(this is a cross-post ...... hope no one objects) .....
The Obama Administration's Healthcare Summit Follow-up
While a place was found at the table for the insurance, hospital, and pharmaceutical industry, only two leading proponents of Medicare for all single payer were among the 120 or so invited guests, Rep. John Conyers, author of HR 676, and Dr. Oliver Fein of Physicians for a National Health Program who were only added hours before the summit in response to public protests.
There are people on these "boards" who defend Obama by saying that he has only been in office 8 weeks and has not had time to do this or that.
Well, they can't make this argument about the Healthcare Summit as it shows INTENT !
Corporate Hospital Groups ...... Corporate Insurance Groups and Corporate Drug Companies.
No nurses, no pharmacists, no physicians even ........ the very people who actually deliver health care had no imput whatsoever!
Instead just large corporations who control and manipulate healthcare for their own entirely selfish interests and don't one damn bandaid on one damn patient.
Once again, this man shows where his true allegiance lies.
He becomes smaller in my eyes every day.
Once again I say only massive action by the public will change anything ....... or have they permanently given up their dignity ....... permanently identified with victimhood ...... permanently given in to being screwed each and every day by a totally corrupt government ?

I really love the 3-piece suit pussy-boys who advocate violence while hiding behind the bars of their government jobs.
Pent-up aggression from being an ass-kissing sycophant leads him to project his self-hatred at being a non-human (no respect for himself as a weasel who has loss his manhood) upon outside "enemies" (simply called the blame syndrome).
Pathetic ...... no man has any power apart from what others give them and the american people have given power to the refuse of the earth.
Turn him over to me for questioning ....... after breaking each of his fingers one by one and readying the genital electrodes, I think he will have greater respect for the dignity of the individual.
Americans have forgotten that the only "authority" is the authority of the individual. That is where the buck stops. It belongs not to groups.
"I was only following orders" is the giving-up of one's own authority and responsibility as an individual.
The individual is the basis of all things ...... when the individual loses his/her rights, all is lost.
And to think I used to have a favorable attitude toward Berkeley.
Hiring a political whore makes them as ordinary as they come.
All the detention centers Halliburton has constructed all around this country ????
The govt in the past has muttered some nonsense about them being for illegal immigrants.
That's a joke ....... the rich businessmen who opened the border to access cheap labor never intended to imprison their money-makers.
Those camps are for american citizens.
The financial system has operated under the cover of darkness for over a decade now (no regulation).
The govt has operated under the complete cover of darkness under Bush.
Those whose deeds are worthy come to the light and are not afraid of it.
Those who operate under darkness, secrecy and deceit are the children of darkness.
