Yep I am pissed, real pissed

[nadinbrzezinski]

was listening to Ed Shultz... I probably should switch the radio off or put on some music


But I was listening to him after calling the staffer of my Rep... and telling the clueless bimbo (I am not being fair to bimbos everywhere I know), about the latest line on the sand...

Her response... I will pass your opinion to your congresswoman.

I am betting she will pass my opinion well after a snow ball remains intact in hell, and she is a dem. I expect that condescension from a republican, but these days, I hear it from our own side. With friends like this....

You see, they don't want to hear it. Impeachment, no matter what they do, and how many times they trash the constitution and how irrelevant they make the Congress, is off the table... and we, the unwashed masses should just learn our place and just shut the fuck up. After all Mr. Emperor should never be questioned, since he is the state... and you should never question the state.

Ed shuts was told the same thing yesterday, but in a nicer way. I also got the obligatory letter from Pelosi telling me to buzz off.

So yes, I am pissed.

It seems our elected jelly fish really don't care, or are so damn scared that they won't act... either way they are now complicit in every crime this administration commits against the Constitution and the American people. THey are complicit in letting a man be above the law.

Remember, the Republic will die in a thunderous applause.... and in fact it is dying bit by bit, day by day, second by second.

The line is now on the sand... and I sadly expect none of our spineless leaders to do a damn thing.

If they don't care, and many native born americans simply don't care, why should I?

Oh and in 2008, assuming there is an election... I can smell this Congress and its leadership going down in flames...

In a manner of speech of course.

In reality, they already have... by refusing to protect what we... yes WE the unwashed masses, entrusted them with.

No money, no work, hell at this point perhaps maybe no vote.

Oh and long live the King... since the Republic IS NOW DEAD.

[proud2BlibKansan]

1. Wanna start a support group?

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. For what?

this nation will perish from the earth, in fact it already has.

Today, while driving, I saw the flag... and I thought to myself... all those people who have died defending the ideals under that flag, starting in Boston in 1775, to the last trooper lost in Iraq, all of them died in vain

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. To take our country back!

Are you pissed enough to DO something??

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. I have been doing something from word go

it just seems that those in power don't care

[eleny]

3. "our elected jelly fish" - good one.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Feel free to use it

unformtunately I don't feel like even making a joke anymore

Its called Grief I guess

[eleny]

13. Good if funny or not

I've had some pretty glum days. Today isn't one of them and I'm glad for it. After watching Fein last Friday and listening to Hartmann yesterday I was pretty down in the dumps.

I'm not a Clinton supporter for the primaries. But this crap with the DoD made me think I could even support her in solidarity. I never thought a Hillary issue would be the source of hope this week.

And now Schuster is sitting in for Carlson and talking about Larry Flynt preparing to soon out yet another Repuke. Maybe next week will be better than this past week.

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. Perhaps but at this time... serious

if they don't impeach or take any other CONCRETE action (Inherent contempt) they already lost the 2008 elections.

I hear it, and I fear I agree with many of these folks who feel betrayed by their party

(sending a letter on this issue to the Chairman of the DNC... sometimes that gets people to act... especially when you go, no money and perhaps no vote. That really gets their attention)

[BuyingThyme]

5. Thank you for getting it.

This must be Getting It Day.

:applause:

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Actually I got it a while ago

But I have not been this pissed in a long time

Oh and elections, forget them... unless they can find a way to maintain the sham

[blogslut]

6. Maybe this will cheer you up

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1390369&mesg_id=1390369

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Not until I hear Pelosi going on the teevee and

telling the nation, impeachment is back on the table.

These words we've heard before. They are only words, I want action

[blogslut]

11. sigh

I give up

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Good, perhaps it is time to give up

They will not get a bloody red cent or support from me until I SEE REAL AND SUBSTANTIVE ACTION

The time for words IS OVER

[bbgrunt]

47. It's amazing, isn't it--how all options are on the table when it

comes to nuclear war pr threats against another country but not when it comes to the I word.

[TreasonousBastard]

7. You think maybe there was a time in our history...

when it was really any different?

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Yes, and if you thihk it wasn't

then I can't help you. What has happened in the last six years IS unprecedented

[TreasonousBastard]

15. Has the Army been sent to Washington to...

roust the Bonus Soldiers march?

Has anyone refused to do the minimal investigating of a calamity like the Johnstown Flood?

Are we at war with the state of Virginia and its allies?

Are we in the midst of a Dust Bowl migraton? Are Hoovervilles all over the country?

Are the Pinkertons shooting union organizers?

Has the Supreme Court recently held that a slave must be returned to its owner?

Are we regularly ignoring treaties and killing any native Americans foolish enough to be in the way of mining rights or good farmland?

Is William Randolph Hearst still alive and openly pushing his various agendas?

Is New York City still run by Tammany Hall?

Has there been a remake of "Gigli?"

See? It's bad, but not as bad as it has been at times.

[stillcool]

17. History has plenty of precedents..

and I believe we've been on this road for a very long time. I'm not sure you've read it, but Ferdinand Lundberg's "The Rich and the Super-rich" is available for free download as it's copyright has expired.
http://www.soilandhealth.org/03sov/0303critic/0303socialcriticism.html
Not only do I believe there is precedent for today's reality, I believe it is being repeated chapter and verse.

[PBass]

14. You're ranting about staffers, a complete waste of energy.

I read your thread about Pelosi's form letter to you, which you called "buzz off".

I guess you expect that Nancy Pelosi is supposed to personally answer every single letter??? Also, you misrepresented the letter, you said they told you "buzz off" when the letter actually said "thank you for expressing your views" (typical form letter). To be honest, the lettter YOU wrote was nothing that hasn't been written before (I'm irate! Stop the war immediately!) and was almost a form letter in and of itself.

Now today, you're here complaining because a staffer (probably an intern who never speaks with Pelosi but merely works a phone bank) didn't tell you that your message would be hand-delivered to the Speaker.

GET A GRIP ON YOURSELF. I agree that phoning and emailing the Speaker to encourage impeachment is productive. But it's NOT productive to post messages that Pelosi's staff is unresponsive, because

#1 you absolutely don't know that. They are paid to take your information, and get you off the phone to open the line for the next person.
and
#2 proclaiming that Pelosi's staff is unresponsive only DISCOURAGES people.

The phone is ringing off the hook at the Speaker's office, and they get hundred if not THOUSANDS of emails and letters every day. But the important thing to you is that YOUR feelings were hurt because you didn't get a personal response?

:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. No the impiortant this is, will they defeond the consititiion or not

aparentlyb defending the constitution is out of fashion around these partss.

It is yoru country after all... Me... I think it is time to look for a way out of this mad house

By the way, those violins are playing for you

[LSK]

16. what do you expect a staffer to say or do? put you through?

They probably get 500 calls per hour saying the same thing.

Im not sure exactly what you would want the staffer to say or do?

[PBass]

18. I guess she wants a personal hug from Pelosi, simply for expresssing her opinion

From the original post

"No money, no work, hell at this point perhaps maybe no vote."

GOOD RIDDANCE. Be gone! Don't let the door hit ya on the way out, etc. We need this pointless negativity like a hole in the head. All you're doing now is spreading your cynicism, over something completely trivial.

I'd bet 20 bucks the OP has never called Pelosi's office until recently, hence the utter surprise at a typical normal response from a staffer, someone who probably never meets with Pelosi, let alone to hand-deliver an urgent message from a VIP like nadinbrzinski

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. When you wake up in November of '08 with no House and no

senate, ask yourself why?

I'm not alone in these feelings of ... what is the proper world... oh yes betrayal

If they want to keep the power they have... it is very simple, they need to stand up to the bullies and ahem, see that parchment called a Constitution?

I know, it is quaint, just like the Geneva Conventions... hardly worth caring about

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. Sorry, if you cannot get staffer was dismisive in her attitude

poor phone skills perhaps... but she was dismissive

Like o'kay, whatever

[LSK]

24. there is good and bad customer service in any business

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. Yes, but unfortunately this is biting

our politicos in the rear.

All they care is the next election, not what we entrusted them to protect and defend.

And as I said, if the Native born don't care... why should I?

[PBass]

32. You poor baby! Nobody should have to put up with an indifferent phone desk!

Wow, I didn't realize how harsh your experience was... "like, whatever". You've had it rough!

I agree with you, definitely blame Nancy Pelosi HERSELF. She's obviously telling her phone bank to be rude to people!! Even though they get hundreds of phone calls, each caller should be made to feel "extra-special". That's part of their job!

Really, I don't understad why you weren't patched through to Pelosi, directly!

:sarcasm:

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. It wasn't even her phone bank

readying comprehension is lacking perhaps?

Now try to defend these attacks on the Constitution and the apparent inaction without the sarcasm or condescension on your part.

I guess you will also tell William Pitt he's nuts

Perhaps Mike Malloy

The COnservative that Hartman interviewed yesterday.

The current caller to the Randi show

And others who see the obvious storm clouds.

If you cannot discuss anything without dripping sarcasm... well it is your country after all, and they are just shredding your Constitution. If you don't care... why should I?

http://www.620kpoj.com/cc-common/podcast/single_podcast.html?podcast=hartmann_nationwide.xml

Listen to the first hour of yesterday's show... perhaps you might get it

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

19. God Bless Nancy.

She's doing the best she can and I'm damn proud of her. She doesn't only have to put up with all the bullshit irrationality from the right, but she's gotta swallow the far left extremist irrationality as well. I feel for her. I truly do. But she's remaining strong anyway and I'm damn proud of her.

[PBass]

26. I hope Pelosi comes around on the impeachment issue...

in the meantime, keep calling her and writing her, with rational explanations of your position. This is a numbers game, pure and simple. The more calls they get, the more seriously they'll consider an issue.

Please DISREGARD the nay-sayers and negative complainers, such as the original poster.

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. Yeah right so when exactly did yo start fighting to get

your country back? For me it goes back to oh 2000... something about that October.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

36. Want A Scooby Snack?

[nadinbrzezinski]

37. Nah we don't eat pet food round these parts

it almost led to the death of one of our birds...

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

38. Jesus. What Did You Do To That Poor Bird After You Ate The Pet Food????

You or someone in your house ate pet food and it killed one of your birds? I'm scrathin' my head as to what the missing details could possibly be. I shudder to think of what you were doing with that poor bird that led to its death from your having eaten pet food.

What an odd post. But I think you're right. I better not give you that scooby snack...

:rofl:

[nadinbrzezinski]

39. Nah the conure ate seeds

and only seeds, we tried to intro him to a healthier diet, woudl not have any of it

We ended taking him to the vet, malnutrion was the diagnosis... so we took him off the seeds, cold turkey... he is heatlhy as an ox now...

But the choices were not good

These days he even begs for food, steak is his favorite

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

40. What Does That Have To Do With YOUR Eating Pet Food?

I think you're hiding the real details from us LOL

[nadinbrzezinski]

41. Well I had some of their popcorn the other day

sweeter in fact... and is corn on the cob... they love it btw

;-)

And they have some of my food every day


Lottle canibals

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

42. C'mon, Give Us The Details.

You said YOUR eating pet food caused your bird to die. Spill it. :rofl:

[welshTerrier2]

30. look at this response from Ted Kennedy

i really like Ted Kennedy. He's my Senator. I just received the following email from him. Apparently, he was responding to one of the many letters I've written to him. I have no idea what issue he's responding to and, sadly, it's pretty clear he doesn't either. Talk about a form letter.

we really have to do better than this. here is Ted's letter to me:

Subject: Re: Your Concerns

Dear welshTerrier2:

Thank you very much for your recent letter.

It is primarily through correspondence such as yours that I am able to keep abreast of the insights and concerns of my constituency. Only by keeping informed can I continue to be an effective and responsible Senator.

Be assured that I have reviewed your letter and appreciate your sentiments. I will keep your opinions and interests in mind when faced with future policy decisions.

[nadinbrzezinski]

31. Tinfoil hat moment

this virus is spreading... they really don't want to hear from us...

And even worst, they agree with the ultimate goal...

Yes, this is what nightmares are made off

[PBass]

34. This would be funny if it weren't so sad. You really are clueless, aren't you?

Maybe you're just lonely and need someone to talk to???

I'd bet 20 dollars that you ranted to Pelosoi's staff, and that's why you got a "whatever" in response. If not a rant, then an emotional, impassioned plea.

These folks are probably interns, just trying to deal with the never-ending stream of phone calls. You want impeachment? They tick off "Yes" in a column. At the end of the day, they tally up the Yes and No calls. THAT'S IT.

Then you come along, expecting to engage a phone operator in an emotional conversation... that's not what they're there for. They take your comment as quickly as possible, and get onto the next caller. They don't care how DEEPLY you feel about an issue, there is no place to write that down. In fact, if you are really emotional they probably write you off as a kook.

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. Ok once again are you having some problems with readying

comprehension?

This morning I CALLED MY REPRESENTATIVE who is NOT, I REPEAT IS NOT Nancy Pelosi

As to clueless, I have been around this block probably longer than you have.

I might even compare notes, but I fear the clueless one is you... not to mention ooncesencing....

Now for your readying pleasure from the OP staffer of my Rep

That is not NANCY PELOSI

Comprende now?

By the way, you do know of the latest overreach, and if they don't do a thing oversight is over, not my words, but a lawyer by the last name of Fein... he's on the Rhodes repeat right now

[Chalco]

43. I called all mine a couple of weeks ago and got the same

response. Mine are from Maryland: Milukski, Cardin and VanHollen. As soon as I brought up impeachment the person on the other end of the phone became cold.

[blues90]

44. I for one have given up writting and calling

What's the point , it's been years now and all I ever get are served up pre-set form letters in the email , I don't know if one letter I sent was even opened and as far as phone calls who knows what the hell happens to these , are they counted and put in folders and set on a desk or just in one ear and out the other .

It should be obvious by now that none of this will make a difference , it will take active participation by the people willing to scarifice all to get out in mass numbers and stay there and even then now with bushs new and latest signing statement we may very well be erased , all assets frozen and lose everything , erased !

[Yael]

45. Not scared or a lack of caring, I think

they are all bought and paid for.

:(

[Katherine Brengle]

46. You lost me at bimbo. How about treating other humans with some respect.

[bbgrunt]

48. I'm pissed too. I had to retire after the 2004 election--I could

no longer bear to contribute to the hypocrisy. It has taken me two and a half years of very dark depression about all this to come to the conclusion that my rage only made me incapable of participating in life at all and is detrimental to my health.

While things have not improved--I have simply become super cynical and expect the worst everyday. The Democratic lack of response is incomprehensible. Like the left-wing gatekeepers who gratuitously slime the 9-11 truth movement, our congressional representatives seem to be letting us know that the fix is in. But taking a cue from the right wing fascists, "we only lose if we give up". So don't let your rage kill YOU--they would like nothing better.

I find the snarky responses to your distress totally unhelpful.
