WTF is wrong with Americans?

...................

While the Egyptian and Tunisian people got angry in response to their elites engaging in extravagant luxuries while life deteriorated for everyone else, Americans treat the announcement of record Wall Street bonuses for 2010 as not even newsworthy.

In 2008, the American people, outraged by 8 years of pointless wars, tax breaks and giveaways to the rich, and declines in wages and employment, voted out the ruling party in favor of a candidate who promised change.

Was that the last gasp for the dignity of the American people? Today, all the key foreign and economic policies of the previous administration remain in place, but there are no protests, no challenge to the President from the left.

While the Egyptian people are fighting off hired thugs in the streets of Cairo in order to have a shot at a decent, fair, democratic society, we here in the U.S. are sitting on our asses as America turns into a corrupt, bankrupt, Third-world oligarchy. What the **** is wrong with us?

the rest:

Anytime you wanna hit the streets junior, feel free.

The Tea Party movement shows what can happen when Americans have had enough. It started off as a small movement that you goons mock and we won an election.

46. That and Laziness.
   
We have to be the laziest people on earth IMO and not all that well educated either..It is simply too much of a bother to protest especially when American Idol is on the tube... :shrug:

Liberalism encourages and praises laziness.
Liberalism also discourages and tries to penalize those who work.

17. I think that is an excellent question.   Updated at 12:35 AM
   
We have become dumbed-down robots. We go to our jobs and do whatever the boss asks. We have been programmed not to question authority. We make enough money to be comfortable, generally speaking. We sit in front of our TVs or computers and discuss the problems of the world but it never gets bad enough to actually do something about it. At least, not yet.

We do not hold our political leaders responsible. We rationalize that we have to agree, otherwise, the other side will be much worse. Meanwhile, we become more and more like them. We surrender everything, including our dignity, for political arguments. Meanwhile, we sink deeper and deeper into the quicksand, hoping someone will throw a rope when we need it...

I thought questioning authority now that Barry is in office was treason?

18. Most Americans don't think our problems are revolution
   
worthy. I know that bothers a lot of people here, but the truth is that comparing the US to third world dictators is beyond ridiculous.

Actually there is a peaceful revolution taking place now, you call us teabaggers.

Most American's aren't living a revolution fantasy through the Egyptians.
   
Sorry, but there won't be a revolution in this country for a long, long time.

Like I said above there is a revolution currently under way. You just don't recognize it because it is not leftist and it is peaceful.

52. Wait til they start cutting peoples pensions, ss, medicare and medicaid the
   
things that help people. Remember inividual states are making deep cuts now so watch out - look, and listen then you will see people going in the streets. The same tea partiers will be demand don't touch the medicare or social security.

You DUmmies still don't get it, we are forced to pay into SS so it is reasonable for us to want a return on our forced investment.

These idiots want a riot so badly they can taste it. They want a Rodney King type riot and chaos x10 so they can smash windows and throw rocks at the "pigs" and "the man". Then they want Celine Dion to defend them by saying "Let them touch those things for once", like she said about the Katrina looters.

They don't want to throw rocks at the cops. That's dangerous. They just want a lot of people to riot, so they can loot stores. DUmmies turn green with envy when they turn on the TV and see a hoodrat lugging a looted big screen.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

Yet, she didn't offer up any of HER wealth?!

Big shock there...

Wow, I hadn't heard that.  MEGO at celebrity news and soundbites.  Highhanded bitch. 

The DUmmies want other people rioting, getting their skulls cracked, landing in jail...then they could reap the benefits accruing to the proletariat after the glorious revolution.

They don't seem to understand that the majority, whether democrat or republican, don't share their unbridled hatred for the form of government we live under. Outside some problems with how various administrations have implemented policy there is very little worth fighting and dying for. The tea party showed us, why riot when you can just vote the bums out and keep voting them out until you get the right set of people running the show.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
