So let me get this straight...

1. Such is life in post democracy America. Nt

[ErikJ]

2. No wonder!

4. Horrible.

3. The capitalist plan

Destroy the economy to enrich the wealthy, starve the poor, and threaten to wreck the economy again if the middle class refuses to pay the tab and give them our earned benefits. Such a simple plan when you own the banks, media and the politicians. What a democracy!

5. It isn't. When we honor life in all aspects, we will be back on track. Until then, expect chaos.

When we are sick and tired of all this BS, we will demand what is right...until then we are subhuman. We bring destruction to ourselves.

7. I think it is called "over-reaching"

Our over-weened pedigreed elite idle rich wannabe "OverLords"
cannot see the evil they perpetrate, as they are blinded by their
walled-off mansions with huge locked gates, security guards,
limos, being waited on hand and foot by "lessers" who need to
know and accept "their place" or else be eliminated one way or
another.

This stark picture is coming into focus for many millions and
millions of people, and it isn't pretty. There is no where left for
these evil fucks to hide. Like Mittens so conspicuously illustrated,
with his "campaign" for the WH, it's difficult to hide and run for
public office at the same time, no matter how much money you
may have, and have thrown at you in the process.

The GOP is in shambles, still in shock. This is a very interesting
moment in USA history, and history in general.

8. Welcome them & all, to the new era, this is what 2012 is really about. Change and awakening...

we are finally realizing how messed up we've been, how wrong we've been and there's no turning back.

They'll try alright, but it is inevitable...you are right, it's over for their evil...life wins, do what's right or you simply will not survive.
How plain can it be? For some it is over, and we will wonder why it took us so long to figure out at that doing what's right was
what was needed all along.

The left has always understood, it's about WE...not me, what happens here or there affects us all. What happens to the least of my brethren...happens to us all. You cannot condone evil without becoming part of it, the silence is over, that day is over, their day is over.

99th Monkey, what took the 100th monkey so long?

10. 12/21/12 <-- or maybe right "on time". ~nt

6. There's no glory in taking care of our own

How could anyone be proud of an America that didn't produce scores of disabled veterans on our pointless wars? How would America fare if we didn't have all of our sales on Veterans day or Memorial day or veterans to have to remember on those dates?

You guys are a bunch of pinko-commie-hippies on this site preaching that we should take care of our own rather than mangle 'em in a good ol' war.

9. If by "glory" you mean "billions in graft."

14. Yeah, I'm still lurking around

I don't really plan on going anywhere. I kind of like the people and the politics here.

It's nice to be noticed. I too keep track of a few of you veterans on this board

- When you think about it, it's actually kinda cheap once you realize that we live in a Democratically-flavored Police State. The most advanced Democratically-flavored Police State ever too!

15. Pentagon?

sad, ain't it. Half the programs they have are unneeded. Who's got the power!!!? Who's the man!!!!? The Pentagon!!!!! Keep me safe, take my money, keep me safe! They do/have so far with 9/11 the exception but what could be expected of war mongering/needing neocons from the 'new american century? Yet I would venture to say, layman's opinion of course they don't need all that money to do it.
