DUmmy cali, still bitter after having been wallduded from her waitressing job at a Masshole coffee house in Vermont, has decided she hates America:

this country scares the living daylights out of me
Any country that regularly elevates people like Perry, Bachmann, Palin and the majority of repubs in Congress and in U.S. statehouses, is reflective of a sick and broken society. Any country that relies so heavily on its military and war, is reflective of a culture that's lost its way completely. Any country that excoriates the poor, the elderly, the disabled and children has no ****ing right to ask for my loyalty or patriotism.
We're a culture that, I'm afraid, is broken beyond repair.

DUmmy cali's brain has been damaged by the earwigs that infest Perennial Pleasures.

2. Easy for you to say, sitting up there in socialist utopia Vermont.
Come on down here in the BuyBull Belt and tell us about it.
I'm pretty sure I've said that to you before though..
Well, DUmmy Fumesucker, it's not exactly a utopia when you've been wallduded into the Kenyan's Recovery Summer.
DUmmy MHnumber is having a little trouble with moving on. Still whining after nearly eleven years:

3. unfortunately, I have to agree with you.
I felt this way back in 2000. I was shocked and appalled that Bush got enough votes to even be able to steal the election. Then, that there was relatively little outrage against the clear voting irregularities that at least (from a moderate view) threw the election into question but yet the SC awarded it to Bush anyway. (Of course I take a stronger view that there was no question that more people in Florida attempted to vote for Gore.)

5. It's dark, no doubt. We need a press and a stage where discussion
can take place but there is no venue or platform for proper debate, only corporate news and political lies and hate speech.

6. The country, collectively, is pathologically ill, a psychosis. We are going through a
major void of sound leadership at many levels. Better individuals in many cases are not running for office, they are intelligent, compassionate and know how F'ed up this country has become. You summed up well the situation.
The culture we are morphing into is unstable and dangerous for the majority of the citizens. Many don't see it, they have been brainwashed by what we call MSM in this country which is propaganda shoved on us by a few mega-corporate conglomerates controlled by great wealth and benefactors of a dysfunctional society.
I'm not sure where we are headed anymore, but I doubt we will see much repair down the road. Depending on 2012, we well might see the dark ages propelled into this country quickly.
Sadly, I'm reaching pretty much the same conclusion as you, "We're a culture that, I'm afraid, is broken beyond repair."
Aside from those few points, DUmmy RPKnumbers is pretty happy with things. I still think he could be a Perry voter.

17. "that western culture IS a collective mental disorder."
I have read nothing recently that says it better than that.
the capitalism model has always struck me as as aberrant.
Got kicked out of my econ. class in college for saying that, I did. Proud moment.

7. That is why I took my family and left.
Those are not values I want my kids to internalize.
When they are grown, they can choose their own country as I have.

18. Japan.
Uh, okay. I've visited Japan dozens of times, and enjoy at least the food, but DUmmies have no idea. The Japanese language is nearly impossible for an American to learn. The degree of racism commonly and unquestioningly accepted in Japanese culture would make a DUmmy's jaw hit the ground. The media in Japan is simply an extension of the Japanese government. But they're all non-white, and they're not Americans, so I guess DUmmies might love it.
DUmmy newfienumbers gives the Nebraskan view:

15. It scares me also.
I am amazed at the people that don't seem to care what is going on, where this country is headed, and the insanity of the republicans running for president as well as congress.
Here in Nebraska (WY-CO-NE corner) most folks seem totally oblivious as to whats happening with our society and are not interested in anything outside this area.
This is a farming/ranching community and come hell or high water they will vote repug. God help this country.
Now the DUmmies give a hilarious distortion of the great Reagan years, from the viewpoint of perpetual losers:

16. Anyone who lived through the Reagan administration and just realized this wasn't paying attention
Some of us had no choice but to pay attention back then because we were living through that nightmare.

19. We are not over the grip of St. Ronnie.
Many, many 'Murcans' are still gripped by the patriotic and religious dogma of Reagan and his henchmen (Baker, GHWB, Peggy Noonan, even Evil Dick, etc Clinton made a lot of headway but Monica set things back. Fox and Limbaugh have done their job well and the media licks Fox's ass. Obama has no balls (unless he is 'like a Jedi knight waiting to strike in his second term' as one DUer put it a year ago). The death of Ted Kennedy, in my view, was when the steam went out of the democratic party. We just don't have any strong leaders with enough clout anymore to make a difference. We need a JFK.

20. I have a theory on why so many people who lived then forget it
I think it is because many people who were negatively effected by Reagan policies block it out. I sure know I did that for a long time. We were traumatized. Then I started realizing that I have not fully recovered financially from that period to this very day. Went down hill back then and never really recovered. It has been one step forward, and two steps back ever since.
I've always said I enjoy anything that causes DUmp democrats pain, either physical, financial, or emotional.
They wail at the memory of President Reagan
Anything that causes DUmmies that much distress has to be good.
Another point in favor of the greatest American of the twentieth century.

No cali, everything you mentioned there is not excoriated. What is are frauds and the lazy and the opportunistic which btw make it difficult for those who actually need help to get it because of their fraud. Also people who don't take care of their own needy in thier family ie children and the elderly. I've seen the hissy fits over there from people who don't want to help their own family members but want to shame the rest of the country for not helping them so they don't have to. What we want are LESS leaches so that we can take care of our elderly and children OURSELVES. We want the leeches off of SSI and other such assistance for the disabled so that those with true life long disabilities can get the help they need. AS for the poor, your side are the dimwits who fail to acknowledge that many many successful people today started off as your 'noble poor'. What of them? Why were they more capable? And what makes you think a poor person is any more noble then the next person? And what in your eyes qualifies as poor? Not having a cell phone? INternet? etc? That's not poor, despite all the bar raising that's gone on to raise what poor is, it still isn't terms.

If you couldn't make money during the Reagan years, then it's unlikely you could do it at all. I even made money in the 90's despite Clinton being in office, so regardless of who's prez, it can be done.

That's funny, that's what Islamic Terrorists say about us too and that's 1 of the reasons they attack us, they want to take down western civilization.

I'll happily buy a one way ticket for any moonbat wanting to leave this country for the country of it's choice.
In return, I want a notarized statement stating said moonbat never comes back to the US for any reason and willingly gave up it's citizenship.

The grouchy old primitive did better during the Reagan years than he'd ever done most of his life, but he shuts it out.

I really have no idea why they stay. All they do is moan and bitch. There are plenty of socialist countries where they could live out their socialist dreams of a better life where they can get free medical care and a paycheck for doing nothing but philosophizing about the meaning of life.

What would they replace it with? Barbarism, mass starvation, and equally distributed misery?
I don't get why they don't simply start the mass starvation at home. Those fortunate enough to have homes in such an awful, repressive society. ::)

How do you spell, Chadron? (Dang near out of Coach's jurisdiction)
Not exactly a DUmmie haven, that's for sure.
No, DUmmie, they are not oblivious, they are only too well aware.
You only hate them because they are.

I think it's more like McCook, Benkelman, Imperial, those places.
Some of the best-informed, well-educated (college degrees and all that) people in America, the people of the butte country of southwestern Nebraska.

Fortunately for the nice people of Chadron, this DUmmy lives south of them. Pity those folks instead.
I wonder how many rants to the editor of the weekly paper this one writes? Or if this person has, like our three local nutcases, protest posters on their lawn, occasionally pulling one out to march in circles on our busiest corner near the courthouse? We smile and wave, being kindhearted people.

Do you ever let said protestors know that they're #1 in your book? :evilbird: :-)

They stay because they like to moan and bitch. It's what defines them.

That's a relief.
I like Chadron.
Good trout fishing in nearby areas.

No. Being DUmmie types, I think they would like that.
I do worse. I give them that bland smile that all middle-aged women have mastered. Kind of a "bless your heart" thing.

Earlier tonight, somebody else left me speechless.
Had that happen a couple times.
Never twice in the same night.

Remember something, milady--they're not happy unless they're not happy, and making others as miserable as they are. It's their version of "sharing the wealth." :fuelfire:
