When will someone come to Amerika and grant us Regime change.
This country is at the least under Corporate Fascism. We are on the verge of being ruled by a full blown Dictator.
Customs are taking the elderlies cheap drugs away at the borders for more Phizer profit. Unions are being destroyed and Dictator 43 tells them to make better cars. Let me remind you that it's OK for the Government to bail out the Airline industry every couple of years.
Medicare hs been reduced to a shell of it's former self. Now it appears what you used to get for free will cost you anywhere from $1500-$3000 under the new Medicare bill. Under this Regime if you are poor and can't afford it they say tough luck.
Dictator 43 has a health savings plan idea yet forgets that average Americans make less than $12.00 an hour. We here know that at $12.00 an hour you barely have enough money to survive.
When you were given a silver spoon you fail to realize what an average American goes through.
The Bankruptcy bill only helps credit card and mortgage companies not the average American.
I figure that I am already on the watch list for being here on D/U so I am calling for Regime change. Three more years of this will be a nightmare for all but Corporations and the wealthiest ten percent.

1. What nation
is stronger militarily than the United States? Send you petitions there.

Or start working on 2006 and 2008. Americans can take care of their own problems.

I'm leaning Clark, myself for 2008

2. We must make the change ourselves

Unhitching our Wagons

New Blood, New Visions, and a New Political Party.

When I rise it will be with the ranks, not from the ranks. - Eugene Debs, June 16, 1918

By Charles Sullivan

01/24/06 "ICH" -- -- Working class people, especially progressives, must come to understand that our interests are not being served by hitching our political wagons to either the Democratic or the Republican Party. The Republicrats represent a capitalist system that has given rise to class division, the unequal distribution of wealth, private ownership, and a system of wage slavery that does not serve democracy, but plutocracy. It condemns workers to being the property of their employers. Capitalism is the opposite of Democracy. We are only deceiving ourselves—falling into an old trap—by casting our votes in a system that not only excludes the majority of us, but also treats us with utter contempt.

Whichever party we choose represents a system that favors plutocrats—those of wealth and privilege. It is a system of their creation, for their sole benefit. In that system we are the servants of power and they are its masters. The vast majority of us, probably ninety percent of the population, is not served by this party. We will always be servile; we will never have representation in this system. Our only rational alternative is to form a new party that represents the silent, repressed majority. We are making a serious mistake by thinking that we can reform a system that was created to serve people of wealth and means. It is a system that operates on capital. Our political enemies have all of the money; we have none. Thus they have access to power; we do not. We cannot possibly compete in this system. We have no alternative but to create a new system in place of the old.

5. I just wonder - would we greet the invading Chinese with flowers?
Remember, the Iraqis lived under brutal oppression by a dictator, and they haven't exactly greeted us with flowers.
