The greedy criminals that brought this mess upon us should be tried in public and then hanged.

Instead, we rewarded them for their greed and stupidity.

As said in the articles, the same scum are running Wall Street and the Banks ...... the September Criminals ....... the Congress that approved the bailout is still sitting ...... why would you expect change ???

The only real change must come from a change in the consciousness of the public itself ....

I bet there's a McDonald's or Burger King or Taco Bell open right now near you ...... who needs real food when you can eat that crap.

Quote:

As Obama pointed out in his inauguration speech, our founding fathers were braver than us by several orders of magnitude. All of the leaders faced death for treason and our entire fledgling country faced dissolution and in that environment they created the ideals that Republicans and right-wingers seem willing to throw out because of fear of a terrorist attack. Come on conservatives, now is the time to show us lefties how brave you are and put your lives on the line to uphold the values and principals that made this country what it is. And statistically speaking the risk you run is actually almost negligible compared to those of our founding fathers.

Too bad we have a public who wouldn't sacrifice a week's paycheck for their freedom ....... let alone risk jail or death (even though the approval rating for Congress last year was less than that of King George when the revolution occured).

The public sitting back and allowing their tax money to be used to bail out rich criminals was the last straw.

The State of the Nation is a reflection of its populace rather than the corporate owned govt who runs it.

Whenever I pass by a cow, in my imagination I wonder where I might find such an "amply endowed" female into which I could place both feet.

WTF ...

But once again I point the finger at the american people who have the mentality of frightened ....... you can't frighten people who actually think ....

No one made the american people fall for the bullshit that a few idiots offered up (include the Congress in that) ....

And as you said, Bin Laden perfectly achieved his goal of producing fear thru the hands of the fear-mongering Bush administration.

As Ben Franklin said, those who give up freedom for security will ultimately have neither.

Just think about it.

And Obama can't either ....... only the American people can save themselves ......

And no matter the rhetoric, people seem unwilling to change ...... although there is truly a choice.

Perhaps Springsteen is willing to actually see reality while others only see a wall of their own self-serving thoughts.

From an article about the inaugaration :

"3. Obama Inauguration Sets Record for Private Jets

Recession? What recession?

The inauguration of Barack Obama set an all-time record for the number of pricey private jets flying into the Washington area for the festivities.

At Washington Dulles airport, up to 600 private jets landed in the days leading up to the inauguration.

That number shatters the old record of 300 private planes that the airport accommodated for President George W. Bush’s second inaugural in 2004, Bloomberg reported.

“Of course, flying private to a celebration of a populist, pro-environment president is a bit like the Detroit execs jetting to Washington for bailout money,” Robert Frank observed in the Wall Street Journal.

“How do you call for social responsibility after touching down in a $40 million, gas-guzzling Gulfstream?”

Obama’s inauguration was the most expensive in history. ABC News estimated the cost at upwards of $170 million, four times what Bush’s inauguration cost four years ago."

Gives me a lot of hope ....

As far as Springsteen's music, I like all of it to some degree but spent 90% of my college time listening to Dylan .... agreeing that Springsteen's music appeals more to the emotions than the mind.

When the National Populist Workers Party comes to power.

Let the Phoenix rise from the ashes ........

Should be hung with the bankers .....

More to the point, where do these people find an audience ??

You're right .....

Of course, Oprah, who has plenty of money is now "fat" and we can concern ourselves with that ......... sheesh.

Of all organized religion and particularly monoliths with hierarchies.

The history of the Catholic Church shows it to be an abomination ....... a business posing as a faith.

We would not be in this predicament if the Congress had attended to its responsibilities and impeached Bush.

There is where the real problem lies ...... Bush is gone but the cowardly, lying corrupt bastards that allowed his crimes still occupy the Congress.

With a few exceptions, this Congress betrayed the American people and the Constitution and things will not improve till all the incumbents, who are tainted, are removed and replaced with people with ethics and spines.

The internet has become too large a part of your life ...

Turn your computer off and go experience some real life ....

Why is that guy wearing a tie in the jungle ???

Better move Obama to the left on Afghanistan - Pakistan or we're in for another deep-shit, unwinnable, money-sucking war ....

That the collection within the beltway should be eliminated, this should be the deciding factor.

First, we need term limits ....... professional politicians do not serve the interests of the public ....

Second, the Dascheles should be imprisoned and then hung with the bankers and the September criminals (the Congress) who continue to deliver public tax money to them.

Third, nothing short of a revolution will ever change anything in this country.

They're involved and making money off of it somehow ...

But I can say being raised by one good parent is better than being raised in an environment with two where one is abusive ....... and I speak from experience.
