One Pissed Off Liberal is not bitter - he's outraged!

dailykos.com — "How deliriously happy and hopeful are we supposed to be about the trashing of the Geneva Conventions, the shameful abandonment of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, extraordinary renditions, the first official US torture program in history, aggressive war, the rape of the middle class, the looting of the treasury, war profiteering, war crimes..."

  • revgerry, on 04/14/2008, -19/+41The art alone will make you cry.
    • jpritch1000, on 04/14/2008, -9/+12Yes. It is incredibly moving. I hope more people get to see it.
      • RGWX, on 04/14/2008, -5/+1Yes, it moved me to roll my eyes at his tired hippie screed. Sadly, most Diggers will mistake polemics and ranting for reality and fact.

        Doesn't the quote describing him say it all? "OPOL is a 60's survivor, Woodstock alumnus, a human rights/anti-war/prison reform/anti-drug war activist and an artist/poet/writer." Go back to your Weatherman dreams, old man.

    • Emnsta, on 04/14/2008, -14/+4There was nothing sad about this article, you should get out more
      • sweetholymosiah, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Getting out is supposed to make you happy!!
    • Jenadae, on 04/14/2008, -2/+3ITT: Ops comment going over peoples head....
      • ThndrShk2k, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3Not mine.

        OP was correct in the art alone makes you cry. I was crying on the inside each time a new image showed up, hoping for it to be the last.
        • ThndrShk2k, on 04/15/2008, -1/+1I do hope you guys are getting the fact that the images themselves are horribly made.
    • RepubOperative, on 04/14/2008, -11/+3CAPITAL GAINS TAX

      MCCAIN, OBAMA, CLINTON
      15% (no change), proposes 28%, proposes 24%

      How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.

      • cherwilco, on 04/14/2008, -2/+5a lot of builders I know completely avoid the capital gains tax as it stands right now by just living in the house for 2 years. in this scenario it doesn't matter how high the percentage is. oh and really, how many elderly are selling their less than 2 year old home for retirement purposes?
      • qwerter, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6Way to stay on topic. Do you have nothing to say about the content of this article? We're talking about life and death here...the lives destroyed, the atrocities committed by our government, the people who supposedly represent all of us, and this is all you have to say? Are you ***** kidding me?

        There's no way you can defend any of this, so you don't. You call Barack and his former pastor a racist, and you can't defend that, either. You can try to change the topic all you want, but you can't change the reality of any of this.
      • CryRightardCry, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3Right wing tactic #1: Change subject.
        Thanks, ass.
    • 5urr3al5am, on 04/14/2008, -13/+5Haven't we been seen this crappy liberal anti-war crap for 5,6, 7 years?
      • nick111, on 04/14/2008, -4/+7No, it's been swamped by conservative war.

        And conservative economics and conservative "morality" : a series of rationaliisations for mean-spritedness.
      • cherwilco, on 04/14/2008, -3/+7so stupid.
        1) you don't have to be liberal to be anti-war (or anti-THIS-war).
        2) you say 5,6, 7 years as if people shouldn't complain until its 50 years?
        3) its been seeing dumbass. jesus, digg even comes with a "check spelling" button!
      • jgzman, on 04/14/2008, -3/+4no, we've only been in this crappy pointless neocon war for 5 years.
      • GeneralFault, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1You're so right 5urr3al5am! I shouldn't complain for another 95 years right? That's the "new" estimate by the warlovers crowd right? First it was 6 days, 6 weeks, doubtfully 6 months. Then we were to expect "sometime soon". Now, we are traitors if we don't wait that full 100 years right?
      • CryRightardCry, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2You're right, you cowardly turd.
        Why aren't you over there right now, fighting for "American freedom"?
        If you REALLY believe the warmongering crap you spew, you are a flat out ***** for not enlisting.
        I find cowardice disgusting.
    • designer, on 04/14/2008, -3/+2Maybe you should ask the DEMOCRAT congress to end the war. You do know they can?
      • GeneralFault, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1By cutting funding. And we saw the "traitor" "troop hater" calls to even the suggestion of doing that. The president is the "Commander in Chief" of the military. Take a class in civil science or something before posting next time about this kind of stuff please.
        • GeneralFault, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1I should clarify; I am not satisfied with what they have done yet and I don't excuse Pelosi's failures or refusal to fix some important problems.
  • jmk4422, on 04/14/2008, -20/+48Great commentary. I'm bitter, too-- I guess that makes me an elitist whose vote Hillary doesn't want?
  • juslikagrzly, on 04/14/2008, -20/+51captures it all.....perfectly! If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!
  • MindyB, on 04/14/2008, -19/+24Exactly, McClinon wants us to continue to prescribe to the old political veil of deception that everything is going honky dory and we should all be running around like elated idiots. What amazes me is the level of incompetence it must take for her to actually believe that by insulting our intelligence she will get more votes. Her husband must be correct in saying that her age is affecting her mind, which is sad because for most other 60 year old Americans, their mind seems to be working just fine. It must have been all that sniper fire that accelerated her aging process.
    Obama gets it, he gets what America needs and how to get us out of this quagmire Bush has created. Go Obama!
    • yellowcakewalk, on 04/14/2008, -11/+14I wish Obama were really as different from Hillary as you think. What we really need is a Dennis Kucinich type.
      • truthmatters, on 04/14/2008, -3/+16I agree. Dennis Kucinich was the best candidate to turn this country around, which is why he was silenced by corporate America. Until we have campaign finance reform, the MSM will continue to dictate the outcome of our presidential elections.
        • tidu, on 04/14/2008, -1/+7Exactly. I don't really think people would have "outrage" over Barack's comments if the MSM hadn't been putting the soundbite up every 5 minutes.

          It's a shame Kucinich is out, but I guess we need to move onto the next best thing. These attacks could be seen as a good sign; They can't find any dirt on Obama so they're just picking at his comments. Imagine if they did the same to Bush; he's got a ton of one-liners.
        • RGWX, on 04/15/2008, -1/+1"Silenced by corporate America" is so very rich. It speaks so deeply to your understanding of American politics.
    • jonmlm, on 04/14/2008, -5/+1even if you meant McClinton i don't get it
    • stienster, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1OH MindyB... I'm so so sorry to tell you this... Obama is another Clinton/Kerry/*****... he's in bed with CFR/Trilateral Commission clan... He's being pushed up the totem pole by the silent ones who rule and reign the government stooges. Look up an alternative website, something like True News, Real News, etc., do a google search for Obama+CFR... but don't bother reading the CFR site... it's like watching FOX News and expecting no spin. If you want a real clean-up guy/gal, go with Ron Paul / Cynthia McKinney.
  • fedupamerica, on 04/14/2008, -58/+29I'm bitter too! Bitter about people who weaken our country with their BS conspiracy theories and their incessant rants about untruths. I guess if you keep saying the same things over and over again you can sway public opinion because nobody has time to research the truth. Unfortunately, there are people like yourselves that have too much time on their hands and can spend it digging up untruths from unchecked sources. Makes me sick to my stomach.
    • omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 04/14/2008, -11/+25Meanwhile, I bet you believe global warming doesn't exist.
      • Airman222, on 04/14/2008, -14/+5Global warming is a lie made up to get your money and its working
        • mummbleswers, on 04/14/2008, -1/+4Actually, all this conserving has been helping me save money. That's why its called conserving, you don't waste anything...Dumbass. Oh I couldn't help myself
        • fedupamerica, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2Huh?
      • geoffg, on 04/14/2008, -5/+3That's right, anthropogenic global warming is a lie that makes me bitter and outraged.
        • txchica, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3Dugg up because I agree with you and for the use of the word anthropogenic.....
    • fedupamerica, on 04/14/2008, -39/+10Global warming? Ohhhhh. You mean Al Gore's latest money making scheme.
      • omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 04/14/2008, -14/+21I bet if I ever met your chickenhawk ass on the street you would go running to your ***** mother. You sound tough and knowitall but you only draw your strength when you're in numbers. By yourself, you're a ***** loser who's too dumb to even know how to feed himself. Do the country a favor and please kill yourself, post-haste, you fascist piece of ***** - your continued support of Bush is tantamount to supporting something worse than Al-Qaeda!!
        • fedupamerica, on 04/14/2008, -29/+9I'm not going to stoop to your level. The definition of fascist is an authoritarian political ideology (generally tied to a mass movement) that considers the individual subordinate to the interests of the state, party or society as a whole. You seem to feel that we have to be subordinate to your ideals and what you feel the state should be like. Therefore, my friend, you are the only fascist in here.
        • Rikkochet, on 04/14/2008, -1/+13Omg, internet tough guys are toeing the line! Everyone form a circle around them!
        • geoffg, on 04/14/2008, -2/+2Come get some.
      • zephyear, on 04/14/2008, -4/+14maybe it's possible gore wants us to not destroy, you know, the only place we have to live
        • cstaylor89, on 04/14/2008, -3/+5And maybe spitting into the ocean will keep it from drying up.
    • sykotik, on 04/14/2008, -6/+5I don't understand, how can you not see what's happening? I mean, it's so obvious at this point that the conspiracy theorists are going to have to come up with new theories to throw around and entertain themselves with.

      Here's one, they (the government) are letting everything fall apart, and will continue to do so until we're on the verge of collapse, on the verge of revolution, and then introduce the North American Union to the masses as the only option to prevent total collapse.

      Am I right? I hope not. But man, look around.... just LOOK. Things are getting heavy, and there is no denying that.
    • JohnFromChicago, on 04/14/2008, -4/+20I don't care what you're political positions are. I'm an independent. All I care about is the rule of law. This government has wandered categorically outside the law. The Fed is illegal, the war is illegal, they torture, spy, seize, arrest and kill with seeming impunity. Regardless of your political party, you should be concerned with the government obeying it's own f*cking laws, and honoring it's own Constitution. If you can find some way to justify the deaths of thousands if not millions of people, and the suspension of civil and human rights at home ... all in the name of party loyalty or fear, then you sir are not an American.

      It is truly my hope that you would leave from us, and may posterity not remember you were here, or that you were our countryman.
      • txchica, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2John, I have a question for you and I'm not being facetious (well maybe a little, but I truly want to know), what rights have you personally lost? I haven't lost any myself and was just wondering what I was missing.

        And what gives you the right to make judgment on anyone, saying they can't be an American if they don't agree with you, what is that? That's not how Americans think, we believe in freedom of speech for EVERYONE, not just those who agree with us. We debate and discuss differences, not demand some kind of justification. You talk about honoring the Constitution,well the 1st Amendment theoretically guarantees the freedom of speech, and yet here you want to silence someone who doesn't agree with you, does that make you unAmerican? Just asking.
    • rcook18, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1I can see why you're bitter -- having been asleep for the last 7 years and waking up to learn that your administration has been lying to you and that your country is broke will make your stomach hurt.
  • dansacks, on 04/14/2008, -37/+24That intro is so ridiculous it doesn't warrant wasting the time to click the link. I'll 2nd N0Bama's sentiment. At least they don't clutter their mind with inconveniences like facts. The only thing OBama gets is that no one will pay attention to what he actually says and does. He knows what the rest of us know, Give em a sound bite and a reason to feel good about themselves and the suckers will line up at the door.
    • jkmerr, on 04/14/2008, -3/+3"The only thing OBama(sic) gets is that no one will pay attention to what he actually says and does?" I like to hope that cynicism on that scale is the sole province of the Clintons, but you're half right. The past eight years have been a tragic proof that a president can get away with a lot of things because "no one will pay attention to what he actually says and does."
      • dansacks, on 04/14/2008, -2/+3if you were serving up a big ole helping of "no point", I'll have seconds...
  • Stevanoski, on 04/14/2008, -46/+24And don't forget the all powerful and mighty Bush even created hurricane Katrina.
    • jonmlm, on 04/14/2008, -5/+13just disaster afterwards.
      • logdesigner, on 04/14/2008, -12/+1Caused by the ***** governor and bull dyke governor.
    • moolaismyfriend, on 04/14/2008, -8/+9I love you simple minded white trash.

      aww how blissful life must be in your simple one dimensional world.
    • nblsavage, on 04/14/2008, -4/+15No one blames Bush for the hurricane. Just the inaction and incompetence of himself and his appointees.
      • moolaismyfriend, on 04/14/2008, -3/+11Hey no shades of reality are allowed only simple black and white issues for these fox news sister porking rednecks are allowed.
      • fedupamerica, on 04/14/2008, -7/+9First responders are the State and local Govt responsiblity. Both Dems. BTW: You guys are generalizing just like Obama. He is a good teacher.
        • moolaismyfriend, on 04/14/2008, -2/+6Yay the years worth of warnings saying the levees would not hold was of no interest to this anti science administration right?

          facts have a liberal known bias.
          • fedupamerica, on 04/14/2008, -3/+5the funny thing is the funding was provided to strenghthen the levees. They didn't use the money for it.
          • moolaismyfriend, on 04/14/2008, -5/+4Give me a link you Conservative but boy and prove me wrong.

          • moolaismyfriend, on 04/14/2008, -2/+3Where did you go you fact-less ruled by fear coward?
          • fedupamerica, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2By 1998, Louisiana's state government had a $2 billion construction budget, but less than one tenth of one percent of that -- $1.98 million -- was dedicated to levee improvements in the New Orleans area http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=%5CNati ...
            STFU!
        • logdesigner, on 04/14/2008, -4/+4Key word is years. How long did the liberals control congress before the conservative's brief stay of power?
        • moolaismyfriend, on 04/14/2008, -5/+4Brief stay in power, like 12 ***** years is brief?

          You conservative bible thumping anti reality assholes are really creative when it comes to history.
        • Terr01, on 04/14/2008, -1/+4Sure, there's other entities that have blame, but that doesn't absolve Bush.

          The "National Response Plan" created by the Bush administration:

          "The President leads the Nation in responding efficiently and ensuring the necessary resources are applied quickly and effectively to all Incidents of National Significance"

          Okay, so what are "Incidents of National Significance"?

          "All Presidentially declared disasters and emergencies under the Stafford Act are considered Incidents of National Significance."

          Okay, so August 27th Bush declared a state of Emergency in Louisiana... under the Stafford Act.

          BAM! According to Bush-and-friends' own planning documents, he was already the top dog, supposed to lead the nation etc. etc...

          THREE DAYS BEFORE THE HURRICANE MADE LANDFALL.
    • Focher, on 04/14/2008, -3/+13As an American, if you weren't embarrassed and ashamed at the government response to Katrina then I wonder where your threshold is. If news helicopters can hover for hours over stranded people, one must wonder why a Coast Guard, National Guard or other military helicopter could not do it. It was pretty damn Third World in one of our own cities.
      • fedupamerica, on 04/14/2008, -3/+7It is embarrassing, but you have to know that the media's initial coverage said that they dodged a bullet and were fine. The levee broke after that. Everyone was caught off guard. The President can not be blamed for State and Local Government's responsibility to have first responders available.
        • moolaismyfriend, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2Hey tools, answer my question from up above you ignorant bottom feeding knuckle dragger!
        • juanchopancho, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2Exactly. That is why the federal governments response is so crucial to these kind of disasters. FEMA's response was a joke. Even if the local government was incompetent that is no excuse for an incompetent federal response. The US is after all the richest most powerful country in the world, so what happened after Katrina was a huge embarrassment to our country.
        • fedupamerica, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1FEMA is not a First Responder. Ever. Has nothing to do with it. Wasnt designed for it. How else can I put it.
      • SwordofKahless, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2People forget that the devastation was not just New Orleans but an area the size of the UK. As said above the President can not be blamed for State and Local Government's responsibility to have first responders available.
    • fedupamerica, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1By 1998, Louisiana's state government had a $2 billion construction budget, but less than one tenth of one percent of that -- $1.98 million -- was dedicated to levee improvements in the New Orleans area http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=%5CNati ...

  • omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 04/14/2008, -32/+22I see the network of dittohead Amerikuh ***** flocked to this thread like bees to a hive. We need to purge you fascist idiots from having any say in our democratic civilized society.
    • Dewhead, on 04/14/2008, -4/+23Hmmm.....isn't a tad bit fascist as you to want to purge people from society just because they don't follow the "party" line?
      • omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 04/14/2008, -6/+6I said 'democratic', you mean 'Democratic'. I hate these words that mean different things with capitalization, it's too easily confused!
        • ell0bo, on 04/14/2008, -1/+8I'll bite. Ok oh mighty wise one, please first explain the difference, I'd love to be educated. Secondly, isn't it a little pot calling the kettle black if you want to purge fascists from society, and take away their rights?
          Also, just so you know, in case you missed it, we live in a Republic, and there aren't too many true Democracies out there. To say you want to take away fascists from having a say in the democratic society implies you want to remove their right to speak. The freedom of speech is usually a guarantee in a democratic society since if belongs to the people, granted the majority hold power, but everyone gets their say, some just aren't listened to. To completely silence those you disagree with i recommend living in a theocratic or fascist society, so you can legitimately silence those damn fascists.
    • Stevanoski, on 04/14/2008, -16/+7Ah the secret is out, now we know how the Left would rule. Thank you omgthepatriots for this confession. You know as much as I disagree with the Left here on digg I never want to impede their being able to present their arguments. They have even changed my mind on very rare occasions. But that is not the way the Left thinks about it's adversaries. Thank you again for pointing out the main differences between conservatives and progressives. Insightful.
      • omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 04/14/2008, -7/+5Well, they did ban the Nazis from political participation in Germany post-WW2, I think the same line of thinking is a great idea!
        • Stevanoski, on 04/14/2008, -7/+6Thank you for clarifying even further your desire to suppress freedom of speech. Again, I state I would give my life to ensure yours, in fact, it never crosses my mind to try and stop any Progressives from having their say. after all, we can't all be right 100% of the time.
        • EarlOfLade, on 04/14/2008, -4/+3@Stevanoski: Nazi's have free speech in Germany today too, it's just illegal for the state to promote or display anything nazi except in a historical way.
          It's sad when one uses false arguments and not even bothered to check the veracity of them.
          • Stevanoski, on 04/14/2008, -3/+6Referring to omgthepatriots earlier post, perhaps you should bother to check before you aimlessly discharge your venom. You do read don't you? Life is better when you don't hate, try it. We all have some thing to say why not just say it and leave the sterile attempts at humor to the professionals.
      • omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 04/14/2008, -6/+7Your record on Digg has proven to me your terminal, anti-social stupidity. Here's to a lifetime of burying anything you say or digg!

        You stand for the defense of torture and war crimes. Your kind deserves a steady dump truck of ***** to be heaved on you for life!
      • Focher, on 04/14/2008, -4/+2Did you just take a single post from someone on Digg as leading you to conclude how an entire group thinks or behaves? Perhaps even you can understand that rather ridiculous nature of your claims.
        • Stevanoski, on 04/14/2008, -1/+5Ah, if it was the only one I would gladly agree Mr. Focher.
      • dansacks, on 04/14/2008, -1/+4looks like omg... is perturbed. Note though, that like any other blood thirsty impotent out for revenge, he has decided to throw civility to the wolves, ride bareback through the corpses with GWB and intends to ...
        Wait ...
        hard to even repeat...
        "Bury anything you say or digg"
        My humble advice, don't get too close to foul smelling dump trucks.
    • logdesigner, on 04/14/2008, -7/+3Ain't that the truth. The one the other day linking neocon's to 9/11 about did me in. I have yet to say anything about the last 60 years that the liberals have been trashing our defense department. My favorite has to be how they spit in our soldier's faces when they came home traumatized from a war that was hogtied from Jane Fonda blaming our "bombing" campaigns on the deaths of innocent children. OK I have blown off my steam for the day. The way Jimmy Carter tried to hg up to terrorist's during his administration, hell, he's still doing it. My favorite though, the McClinton letting Arafat stay at the White House.
    • mike17032, on 04/14/2008, -1/+3Thanks for proving that you are a damn idiot by posting that.
    • juanchopancho, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1You got to love it when wingnuts call "liberals" fascists. Fascism is at the opposite spectrum compared to liberal ideals. Fascism is in the same camp with ultra conservative ideology.
  • fedupamerica, on 04/14/2008, -26/+21I'm not going to stoop to your level. The definition of fascist is an authoritarian political ideology (generally tied to a mass movement) that considers the individual subordinate to the interests of the state, party or society as a whole.

    • nick111, on 04/14/2008, -1/+5What the real enemies have done is waged a propaganda war via think-tanks, PR fronts, fake research institutes and complicit media - since the 70s

      http://www.mediatransparency.org/story.php?storyID ...

      This as embedded certain highly mal-adaptive "beliefs" and moral-systems into the Ameican psyche. Conservatism IS the damage that has been done. Conservatism is the problem. Conservatism is always accompanied by hate - in any country.

      Because political power driven by/based upon two sources:

      1) a small minority of wealthy people, or
      2) a large number of relatively poor people

      and always has. This is a fundamental dynamic. The reason conservatism is always accompanied by hate, is that conservatives overtly act in the interests of 1) and create an ideology that blames 2) for being poor... because they're lazy or immoral.

      We need societies and environments where people (and by that I mean ALL people) are empowered and protected. Where people have genuine social responsibility and empathy - not just this "cruel to be kind" crap that conservatives espouse, because it makes the ones at the top richer.

    • Focher, on 04/14/2008, -6/+10After the last 7+ years, the conservative movement has surrended any claims to small government (it grew faster under Bush than any time since the Depression), fiscal responsibility, individual freedoms, and even national defense. I may disagree with certain conservative positions, but at least I used to know what they were. Now those things are just rhetoric that is being recycled against Democrats because it worked in the past to win elections. Policies based on those principles - let alone belief in them - have been tossed aside. It is amazing to me how many ideological conservatives still support the current Republican leadership, but when you lie with dogs you're gonna get fleas.
      • JimmySpaza, on 04/14/2008, -0/+9No, the REPUBLICAN PARTY can surrender any claims to small government, fiscal responsibility, etc.

        • BlacklabelSAR, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2How about an industry, like the oil industry? Largest profits ever in history, getting tax breaks? When we go to war for "American Interests", what it means is to benefit powerful corporations. Of course we are told of a threat to our core values. We can all see that now.
          • govsucks, on 04/15/2008, -1/+1So the oil companies can force you to buy gas? Funny I didn't know that. I code all day out of my home and Exxon just hasn't found out about me I guess. And GOVERNMENT is giving them unequal tax breaks and we need what to stop that? More government? Its no surprise that government is treating people unequally under the law. Affirmative action, big tax breaks for big companies, its all wrong if you ask me, equal is a finite term, no gray, no in-between. Equal treatment under the law has no exceptions. Just like fair, pity leftists can't figure it out even with the abundance of dictionaries, google and wiki.
          • BlacklabelSAR, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1Can oil companies literally FORCE us to buy gas? No. Does everyong agree that as a nation we are dependent on oil? Of course.
            btw, the fact that you work from home, and are intelligent enough to code is enviable. We need more independent people like you. I am a moderate so I don't fall under the "leftist" grouping. But yes, the oil companies have benefited while most of America is losing. Unless I convert to a vege oil engine, I have to buy fuel from one of a small number of oil companies.
            Please don't confuse my wanting fair taxation for big oil to my being a far left tax freak. The Federal Income Tax is uncostitutional as it is an unnapportioned tax, but then giving corporations the same rights as persons was obviously a corrupt decision, as was The Federal Reserve Act.
    • emotecontrol, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3You are aware, aren't you, that G.W. Bush has spent more money and racked up more national debt than any other president in history? By a long shot. He even beat Reagan, who turned deficit spending into the national pastime. Democrat presidents reduce the deficit, and Republican presidents increase it. How do you think that they're going to pay for all the interest on the last 8 years of Bush throwing away money--your money--on his stupid war? You will be paying for it for decades, and it'll come out of your taxes. If Obama raises taxes to try to pay down Bush's deficit, I know you idiots will start to scream about how he's bleeding you dry. You'll whine and cry, and Ann Coulter will shriek, and Rush Limbaugh will huff and puff and Fox News' talking heads will argue very seriously over how much Obama is hurting America. But you will never, ever, figure out what the hell is actually going on, because you have the intellect of a sea cucumber.
      • govsucks, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1I'm assuming that the idea of government spending being reduced hasn't "trickled down" from us sea cucumbers to you bottom dwellers yet. BTW, what are you going to do about the trade deficit that your have with your local grocer? You seem to buy all their stuff but he doesn't seem to be buying from you, oh gods, what are you going to do?
        • BlacklabelSAR, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2The grocer that we buy food from, or his employees and family all need a plumber, locksmith, gardener, computer tech, etc., that can therefore buy groceries again. It doesn't need to be direct barter. Now if all the groceries come from China, or otherwise imported, and we do not export at least as much, then we have a problem, like right now.
          • govsucks, on 04/15/2008, -1/+1So locally the market will balance but not globally? I think you are wrong. I sell to China all the time and more and more everyday. We pride ourselves on selling to Asia. Probably 50% or better of our sales are international and its growing all the time with the low dollar and will continue to climb.
          • BlacklabelSAR, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1So you are exporting. Great. We need more of that. You are not stupid so I am sure that you are aware of our trade imbalance and debt to China (though we owe even more to Japan). When people rail against the trade imbalance, they are not saying that there won't eventually BE balance, they are trying to make the call earlier rather than later so that we have stability instead of giant ups and downs.
            How am I doing for a bottom -feeding sea cucumber? I've been working my way up from algea you know. I aspire to one day evolve into an advanced primate who won't believe in the Scientific Theory of Evolution. Woot!
          • govsucks, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1Look Blacklable, what do you suggest we do? Use the government to force people not to buy from China? Let people be free and do what is in their own interest and things will work out far better than shoving government into the situation. And you are doing well as a bottom dweller, perhaps god will allow you to evolve some legs ;)
    • jessehadden, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2Curious... which party is it that has consistently increased the size of government, the budget, the debt, and has consistently sold off more of the nation to foreign interests to pay for it, all while giving irresponsible tax cuts to the wealthy and token petty-cash refunds to the real people?
      • BlacklabelSAR, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Republicans of course. Democrats tax and spend, Republicans borrow and spend and then claim to be smarter for it. Both parties are the same thing, are bought off by the same corporation through lobbying.

  • truthmatters, on 04/14/2008, -11/+16Excellent article. If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention. Bush and Cheney should be impeached for 'high crimes' as is defined in our Constitution. I'm furious at our Congress for not pursuing impeachment, and continuing to fund this illegal war. I'm also sickened at our dumb-downed society for believing the propaganda of the MSM, and not supporting our greatest presidential candidate; Dennis Kucinich. "We have weapons of mass destruction we have to address at home. Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. Homelessness is a weapon of mass destruction. Unemployment is a weapon of mass destruction." - Dennis Kucinich. Bush has created crony capitalism for his wealthy buddies. War is a money making machine, and fear is the greatest way to control the masses. Research the acceleration in wealth during Bush's presidency of those responsible for making Bush rich, and it's clear to see this war is about greed. Crony capitalism is alive and well under the Bush administration, and the middle class and poor are paying for it with their lives.

    • thehxcfighter, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2"republicans are simply to close minded and arrogant to understand a liberal speaking from the heart." - well when liberals speak from the heart, it always involves propaganda and bs. So it's not that "conservatives" don't understand, it's that we recognize that liberals just bs all the time.
      • WasabiBomb, on 04/14/2008, -1/+3"Kerry's a flip flopper."
        "Wright is unpatriotic."
        "Obama hates whitey."

        I dunno, sounds like Republican propaganda and BS to me. Is that from the heart?
        • thehxcfighter, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2Yeah, haven't heard "Wright is unpatriotic." and
          "Obama hates whitey." but as far as the "Kerry's a flip flopper." That is a slogan that had to do with kerry's voting record on the war.
    • sweetholymosiah, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2ahaha wonderful, and all the coons tap dance in the corner cause dat's all day knows.
  • worldinmyeyes, on 04/14/2008, -14/+16There is so much crap happening right now, you have to be an idiot not to be wondering why our country is willfully being destroyed - from the inside. I applaud this article, and others like it. Every American should be disgusted by what is happening in their name and our tax dollars. Here is a short (ahem) list of what I see us dealing with at this point:

    MEDIA IN BED WITH GOVERNMENT AND CORRUPT CORPORATIONS
    - Media manipulation continued when the Pentagon opened its Office of Strategic Influence (OSI) following the September 11 attacks. The OSI's explicitly Orwellian mandate was to spread misinformation aimed at brainwashing the international press and "influencing public opinion and political leaders in friendly as well as unfriendly countries" - Corporately owned (by the elite), dishing out mostly mind-numbing non-news to placate and distract the masses. - Corporations who advertise in these media vehicles often exert their power in threatening to pull advertising dollars to bury the truth. - A focus on celebrity entertainment and sports. And why not? Let the kids play while the masters are busy manipulating, exploiting, raping and plundering other countries and our own. And they get away with this because they know the American people just want to be entertained. HEALTH - Poisons in our food (aspartame, hormones in milk, plus genetically modified foods) - Poisons in our water supply (fluoride, other chemicals and hormones) - Don't you love how downright concerned the government and ADA is about our dental care, spending gobs of money on fluoride propaganda? We're being poisoned left and right, but dammit we cannot have tooth decay! - Autism and cancer rates skyrocketing in past decades thanks to toxic poisoning in immunization shots and "deemed-safe" consumer products. - A "health care" system, obsessed with putting people on prescription drugs treating symptoms rather than dealing with the root causes of diseases.
    - Obvious: the unhealthier people are, the more profits for big pharma.

    END OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT WITH THE FLICK OF A PEN NSPD 51, enough said.

    SUPRESSED TECHNOLOGY - If governments and corporations weren't so corrupt, we'd all be driving cars that run on water. The technology exists today but is suppressed. We'd also all be using free energy. But wait, wouldn't mankind be more likely at peace, poverty diminished, and the environment improved? We can't have that, can we?

    CIVIL LIBERTIES - Government "Watch List" at nearly 1 million Americans. - Fingerprint scanning in major US airports to help fight "terrorism" - Restricted free movement of citizens. - REAL ID scam (one step closer to what they really want - a microchipped population) - Comcast and other companies desiring to monitor you in your home 24/7 in the name of capitalism. - Telecoms in bed with the government, illegally spying on innocent Americans.

    WHY FIGHT WARS THAT CAN NEVER BE WON? - Fraudulant War on Drugs putting harmless Americans in a for-profit prison system. More people in jail right now for maijuana than violent offenses. Oh, and the CIA is the one shipping in the hard drugs (heroin, cocaine, opium). I wish I were kidding. - Fraudulant War on Terror, taking too many freedoms away, exterminating over 1 million people worldwide. - Both "wars" cause more problems in the world (by design) and are really waged on common people everywhere.

    WHO ARE THE TERRORISTS? - The subsequent downing of WTC 1, 2, and 7 were an inside job. OKC bombing too. - Per the NY Times (10/28/93) and CBS News, the FBI knew all about the plot in the 1993 WTC bombing (killing 6 people), and decided (by supervisors order) not to stop it. How nice. - Operation Northwoods proves the CIA would use false flag terrorist events inside the USA to justify war. Oh, and that was over 40 years ago. - Political assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, John Lenon, and Malcolm X. - Numerous CIA assassinations abroad - some being popular, democratically elected leaders who were fighting for the rights of their country and common people. - FEMA (concentration) camps being built by Halliburton for future use. - Bush's grandfather Prescott was a traitor to America and directly supported/funded Hitler. Bush (and others) are deliberately destroying our country - not out of stupidity as supposed, but by design of some very cunning handlers.

    ENVIRONMENT USED TO FURTHER CONTROL AND PAD THE POCKETBOOKS OF THE FINANCIAL ELITE
    - Global Warming being used as an excuse to further tax and control people and nations. Look at who is creating the hysteria, drowning out dissent, and then ask why. Research. EDUCATION - A stupefying and deliberate attack on the American education system - dumbing people down, and failing to make them critically think. This is despite more and more money being spent than ever before. - Further masked in programs with catchy names, like "No Child Left Behind." They know the education system sucks - it's what they want. - American schools are one of the most attrocious thing we have going for us. Todays kids are not being taught anything important, they are being propagandized to do their role for the system. - Still true today: "The ruling class has the schools and press under its thumb. This enables it to sway the emotions of the masses." - Albert Einstein ECONOMICS - A Federal Reserve System that essentially controls the economy, conceived in subterfuge, desiring to bring us all into a cashless society where everything can be easily monitored. And how to do this? An economic collapse they helped cause, followed by their "solution." - IMF and World Bank being used to give excessive "loans" to third world countries which help infrastructure projects (that the US builds) but rarely help the poor of those nations. This money is also used to bribe the leaders of these countries to play along with the US. We are at war people. Not with terrorism and drugs. The war is being waged at *us* on all fronts. Why? To bring about a long-planned agenda of world government for many of the elite and "enlightened" ones. All you have to do is read their words: "Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." - David Rockefeller, "Memoirs", (p.405). The list could be much larger than it is. It took me a long time and countless hours of independent research (ongoing) to begin to understand that we have been lied to, presented a phony reality, and people everywhere are being attacked on all fronts. Understand what happened here, and understand the deep constuct and nature of conspiracy and manipulation that rule the world. A lot of people are just unable to wrap their minds around what has to be true if they consider these points. You have to connect the dots and see that they are indeed related. If you can't see it, you're blinded, as I once was. You can dismiss this as conspiracy rubbish, or you can wake up, educate others, and take action. It's your choice.
    • worldinmyeyes, on 04/14/2008, -5/+4Yikes, sorry about the run-on paragraphs - tried to edit it, but was not in time.
      • boonesfarm, on 04/14/2008, -3/+4Run-ons and punctuational holocaust are the calling cards of a crackpot conspiracy nut. You'll believe anything as long as the perpetrator is dark lord Bush. If Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V is what trips your trigger, knock yourself out. Just don't think you're impressing anyone.
    • Stevanoski, on 04/14/2008, -6/+5intro twightlight zone music /here
      • nycmac247, on 04/14/2008, -3/+2can't handle the truth?
        wall of text, maybe, but some great points
    • sweetholymosiah, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2Talk about verbal diarrhoea!
  • xDynaBlade, on 04/14/2008, -4/+3Anybody else get mad when they read that?
    • GrantTLC, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1No, I got mad 8 years ago when it started happening in great sweeping waves, then stayed mad. Welcome to the club (finally).
    • kaeryn, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Only animals get mad, PEOPLE get angry.
      Are all of your kids uneducated or just the few on digg?
  • Peabdog, on 04/14/2008, -9/+10Isn't the term "outraged liberal" redundant?
    • kaeryn, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1LOL
    • shauncorleone, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Beat me to it, was going to say exactly the same thing. Liberals will always tug at your heart strings to make you feel as if you're not doing enough and that your life truly is a tragedy, and only the Government can help.
  • rpetty, on 04/14/2008, -12/+4post is a waste of time, but i guess that is all it takes to be a liberal these days. just be angry about something--then you have done your part. pathetic.
    • nycmac247, on 04/14/2008, -1/+5yeah those dumb liberals - having a social safety net like every other industrialized country... when will these ***** get a job and grow some balls? HAHAAHAHA Only the strong survive and what's important is that I will live forever and never be old, get the short end of the financial stick or get help in any way. Hell - I even pave the road in front of my house! IT IS IMPORTANT TO NEVER COMPARE OURSELVES TO THE REST OF THE INDUSTRIALIZED WORLD SINCE WE ARE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE AND THE REST ARE LAZY *****.
      /yes, sarc
    • WasabiBomb, on 04/14/2008, -1/+3Or you can be a Republican, and just let fear dictate how you vote.
  • homah, on 04/14/2008, -3/+10all those things piss me off and i'm not a liberal. everyone should be pissed off about those things.
  • Plantagenet, on 04/14/2008, -6/+3The focus on the word "bitter" misses the point. Obama's mistake wasn't in saying people are bitter---Obama made a mistake by criticizing working class white for "clinging " to religion and guns. In so doing so, he may've lost the votes of some gun-owners and religious working class white people
    • sweetholymosiah, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3I'm not sure I agree with your use of the word "people".
  • jeanine22, on 04/14/2008, -6/+3as a Ron Paul supporter I say Go Obama Go!
    Win It!
    perhaps the last chance to restore the Republic the Constitution the Peoples rights Liberty...............
    • kaeryn, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2Actually as a Ron Paul supporter you are definitely WHITE and you want MEN to tell you what to do with your uterus.

      Do any of you actually understand the candidates platforms and RECORD?
  • eminiguy, on 04/14/2008, -2/+1Blame this on illegal Mexicans.

    Make sure you exploit them completely or else Bush may end up facing a long prison term which would obviously be terrible for he is such a fine example of all what America stands for these days, right?

  • ForestRangerBen, on 04/14/2008, -4/+2I lol'd @ this
  • DestroyFascism, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2Ok so we are seem to want to just digg this all down and cool the situation then? Who exactly would do that?
  • topace3000, on 04/14/2008, -2/+1"There has been no democracy in the USA since Bush v. Gore in 2000. There may never be again."

    *****.
  • detokaal, on 04/14/2008, -3/+1I guess you have to agree with the first paragraph to go any further. So, I stopped there.
  • kilowat, on 04/14/2008, -0/+5

  • robbiemuffin, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2there's lies, damn lies... and family
