My government has been lying to me for as long as I can remember
 When I was a child, they told me to "Duck and Cover" as if hiding under my desk in the first grade would somehow protect me from being vaporized if the Russians Nuked us. They lied to me about the Bay of Pigs. They lied to me about the Gulf of Ton kin, They lied to me about Viet-nam, they lied to me about Co-intel pro, they lied to me about Iran-Contra, they lied to me about the Iranian hostage crises, they lied to me about the first Gulf war, they lied to me about the twin towers, they lied to me about weapons of mass destruction and they are lying to me about Afghanistan.

They lied to me about free trade. They lied to me about the economy. They lied to me about the Wall Street bailout and they are lying to me about the Gulf oil disaster.

Interestingly, it would seem that the same people who have been in power for all of those years, are still in power now. I am not only referring to The Dick or the Rove or the Rumsfield but also the Boxer, the Pelosi and the Fienstien.

Forgive the cynic in me (after being lied to for my entire life) but I'm not seeing much change for the better. I see, for the most part, politicians of both parties capitulating to their, and our, corporate masters to institute a new corporate, fascist feudalism and I see them being successful.

The very idea that B.P can use local police to prevent journalists (do we still have journalists?) from reporting on events in the gulf is an anathema to a free society.

I've been to Fienstien's mansion. I've been to Pelosi's mansion, I've been to Zoe Lofgrens estate. Trust me. They are not worried about their unemployment benifits running out. They are not worried about their medical insurance and they are not worried about their homes being foreclosed on. Something is very wrong here. It needs to be made right. When the people that govern us have to worry about the same things we do, perhaps we will get a representative government.

I am quickly loosing hope.

Please! Someone! Talk me down.

Massive circle jerk ensues.

Then they charge off to the next thread demanding the next new government program to run their tiny lives.

Another common denominator fo elite donks?

They all have fences around their mansions....even though fences DO NOT WORK!!!

The whole thread is more of the "left vs. right dichotomy is a tool that the ruling class uses to divide us" lie that they tell temselves.  Talk about being stuck on stupid, they're like programmed robots.

They lied to you about your mental illness being in remission too.
What's your point?

Kind of like Charles Mansion telling me stomping on kittens is a bad thing...

I've been to Pelosi's mansion,

My god, that jumped out at me. I can only imagine, but it's in the deepest, darkest crevices of my mind that I rarely willingly unlock.

28. blah blah blah....

...We could affect a more meaningful rebellion if we were learning and teaching each other how to grow healthy food in our own yards. Imagine if all of us had thriving gardens what a dent that would make? Not to mention how much healthier we'd be! (And that would, of course, mean Michelle Obama is the REAL agent of change in our White House!)
 

  I don't even know what to say to this.  I guess it changes the meaning of "pitchforks."  I had no idea I was such a wild-eyed rebel, quietly tending to my tomatoes.  Who knew?

When DUmmies use terms like "we" and "us" what they really mean is "you" or "y'all" with "me" as boss. DUmmie never soil their hands or do any actual "work".

[delilahmused]

Wonder if she could fit "me" in there a few more times. But instead of voting the bums out, if they have a "D" behind their name she'll vote for them in the hopes she can get a few more oompah loompahs from the government.
