Tomas Young saved me from myself.

From the moment the Supreme Court decision came down in 2000 that gifted the White House to Bush, to the moment he was finally and forever out of power, I resisted him and his works, because I knew what he represented, what he was about, and what he was doing to my beloved country. My instincts were finely honed, and I gave probably a million words - in print, and spoken aloud on the road for some 800,000 miles - to the cause of thwarting him and everything he stood for.

And now? Now I'm suddenly wondering where that guy has been. He sure as hell isn't the one I see in the mirror. He lapsed into a moral coma, lulled by his idea of America and by the election of someone who can talk the birds out of the trees even as the lumberjacks clear-cut the forest.

*Long boring whine in which Pitt admits to being duped by The One.*

I mean to face the stranger in the mirror tomorrow, and so I must acknowledge my own culpability in all this. I am to blame; I went to sleep, because I have an idea of America that I cling to desperately, and so I bought into the soothing nonsense of *cosmetic change even as the sound of the same old gears ground on around me.

I am sorry.

I still believe in that idea.

And I am awake.

*An obvious racist dog whistle

What a drama whore

There are People Out There ....Who don't want to Hear....or Revisit History...or They are Looking Forward to "Hillary 2016" who don't want "Turds in Punchbowl" of our American Actions in Other Countries..and our Endless Wars.

It's ALL GOOD for BOTH PARTIES........those "ENDLESS WARS."

......with a Repub Senate there's NOW lots of ROOM to DISSENT! Obama is Lame Duck and not running anymore.

WE NEED TO ATTACK THESE WARS........and do Better Reporting now that Obama is no longer Running for President.

Time to peal back the "Cloak of Compliance" and Reveal the Rot that has been ...Not Exposed  so that the NEXT President has ACCOUNTABILITY........for Past DEEDS for which there is NOW a long Track Record to HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. Of Course I'm talking about theMIC/Media Industrial Complex.

Hyperbolic, KoKo.....who has been here throughout it all.......

And after all their "bold" talk about how things need to change, it still comes down to "Elect more Democrats." These leopards can never change their spots.

As usual.

Here's something the primitives should shove up their rectal apertures and smoke:

Poll: Americans Want GOP Congress, Not Obama, to Set National Agenda

Times have changed. A new Gallup poll finds that a large majority of Americans would like the Republican-controlled Congress, rather than President Obama, to set the direction for the country in the coming year, a marked change from 2012, when a slim majority said they preferred for Obama to guide the agenda.....

Is that what you call going on an eight-year bender?

[franksolich]

I'm mystified as to who this "Tomas Young" is, who saved the Bostonian Drunkard; I've never heard of him.

So I had to nadin him.

1. U.S. clergyman, civil-rights leader, politician, and diplomat: mayor of Atlanta, Georgia, 1981–89.
2. U.S. cartoonist and author.
3. U.S. leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
4. U.S. army colonel: highest-ranking black officer in World War I.
5. U.S. baseball player.

<<<wonders which one it is.....or rather, was.

Maybe the third one listed?  I dunno.

Here ya go:

Tomas Young (November 30, 1979 – November 10, 2014) was an American military veteran of the Iraq War. He was paralyzed by a bullet to the spine while deployed in Iraq. One of the first veterans to come out publicly against the war, he spent most of his life after the war protesting. Young's conditions worsened due to various medical complications and he chose to go on hospice care, awaiting his death.[1] He later reversed that decision.[2]

Oh.

Pitt has been waxing poetic for awhile now.  I think he must have found a stash of wild shrooms.  Remember the morning he was driving with the crane?

Come on Chris. That's not all he did. He also bitched on the internet a lot and used Pittian.dots. Plus he brought us within 24 business hours of frog marching someone.

And didn't he once knock a brick out of the park with his head?

[DumbAss Tanker]

Speaking as a vet of 37 years service, Pitt, just STFU and stop intruding yourself on a day set aside for your betters, you pompous drunken useless bitch-man.

Couldn't have said it better myself, sir.

It is always about "me" to WillPitt.

WITH  a crane?

Hell, the way he was droning on, I thought he was actually driving a crane!

(Was wonering how he navigated the narrow back roads of NH with that rig...).

I would like to propose a quick exercise for the decent and civilized people of CC.  I am going to juxtapose two of William's posts and ask observers to pick which one is most likely going to echo Wee William's words as the 2016 General Election approaches. 

First up is the one that started this thread:

The issue is the fact that it doesn't matter a tinker's damn who sits in that fine round room. I believe Mr. Obama to be a better man than his predecessor, and if we had ham, we could have ham and eggs, if we had eggs.

I am finished with the moral geometry that says this is better than that, which makes this good.

I mean to face the stranger in the mirror tomorrow, and so I must acknowledge my own culpability in all this. I am to blame; I went to sleep, because I have an idea of America that I cling to desperately, and so I bought into the soothing nonsense of cosmetic change even as the sound of the same old gears ground on around me.

Next is this little gem from almost 7 years ago:

I don't support any one candidate.

I support all of them.

Every Democratic candidate, armed with a friendly congressional majority...

All of them.

As a tribute to the politics of the load Jane should have swallowed, please vote as many times as you wish.
