T or F: The bushgang are more representative of America than DU is

Face it. America is not the land of the free. It is not the shining beacon of freedom for the world. It is not the tolerant melting pot that used its diversity to become the greatest nation in the history fo the world.

America is a country full of ignorant, arrogant, venal little shits, scared to death of anything that might shake them out of their own putrescent stupefaction.

True?

Or false?

But Nader's running to screw everything grrrr

50% are liberals, 30% are bush-like barbarians and about 20% fall in between

So yeah, I think the average American is a lazy sheep content to go with whatever they are told. There just aren't enough people interested in much more than their own personal comfort to form a real revolution. By the time these people wake up it will be far too late.

that America did not put this lying evil corrupt rotten lying hypocrite in to the Whitehouse, he was rammed down America's throat by the Supreme Court. The majority of people were smart enough to vote for Gore, not for the idiot.

without a serious fight

some people are monsters, we have the same proportion of lunatics as any other country. 95/05

This ruler with God like beliefs and having to have the country their Christians, and all that. It was so un-like our founders and what this country was started for. It is like they missed the whole enlightenment. They do not seem to under stand where this country came from at all. I guess they had better get the kids out of those church run schools, or home schooling and teach them some things. Have they ever looked at the score of their schools to unions and church run schools. You know the WW2 men fought in that war with out 'under God' said every day? As long as Bush wraps the flag around him self and holds his Bible they will vote for him even as he takes this country into a sink-hole.The whole thing is really like a bad movie you are made to watch.

my over all experience with ''heartland'' america is a negative one.
the america that i encountered and loved was in new york city.
american's are far too often concerned with life in their own back yards -- and that's as far as their cultural experience takes them.
i find far too many americans with similar attitudes to bushco -- and for the life of me i can't figure out why -- cause they ain't rich and folks like the bush team don't give a damn about them.

The bushies are representitive of the small group of corporate cabalists who think they can pull the strings the the ignorant and fearful. Everthing they do means to keep people that way.

if it is only a small group?

Those prison guards are not corporate cabalists, nor are they representative of a small group.

This is not a flame. It just appears to me that around half of Americans now think this is all just ifne and good.

America is a country full of ignorant, arrogant, venal little shits, scared to death of anything that might shake them out of their own putrescent stupefaction.

I don't think people have changed that much since I was young and we graduated from college thinking about possibly joining the Peace Corps and certainly thinking about a career choice that would provide (along with a living wage) the opportunity to be of service to others in some way.

I do think that we are sorely lacking in leaders who exemplify that spirit of service and who can show the way to the masses of people.

Who do we have in this country today who is like JFK or MLK?

What is really frightening is the fact that both of these men were murdered. If Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin came along in 2004, I wonder if there might not be bullets with their names on them.

I think Americans tend to "putrescent stupefaction" because they see no other choices... no hopes and no dreams. We need leaders who hold out hope... and a challenge. I guess, though, that we need to believe such men are "electable."

(I'm thinking Clinton, warts and all)

a huge chunk of the population gleefully joins in the jokes, slurs, wild conspiracy theories and attacks that handicap his or her leadership.

I think an awful lot of Americans *are* freepers, dittoheads, and just plain suckers who would toe the Repuke line if a demon from hell was in the White House eating live babies every night on prime time.

Then there is the majority who don't even bother to vote and probably couldn't tell you anything about either candidate except the spin they hear on talk radio.

"your either with us or against us" is a failacy. My opinion is a small group of neocons has hijacked the republican party. They control it because their stratigies have worked for the most part and the rest of the party has been content to follow their lead.

Actually, the neocons control BOTH parties. The DLC is PNAC's branch office.

neither the 2000 nor 2002 elections met the minimum standards for democracy (or democratic republicanism for you literalists).
