Fucked.

[Cetacea]

16. That needs it's own thread. Thanks for posting it.

And I was thinking that the Oceans were the real "final frontier". Looks like the oil company's have first dibs...

[NYC_SKP]

19. You are right, Cetacea. Here you go, it's own thread with additional graphics.

25. And the American taxpayer is SUBSIDIZING them!

Billions and billions of dollars a year in tax breaks.

Wall Street ain't got nothin' on the oil companies! And they've been doing it for decades!!

[Kadie]

21. Wow.

Just wow. No words.

[mod mom]

43. Thanks for the nightmares.

:( sometimes I wish I was a sheeple.

[jillan]

77. OMG - that does deserve a thread of it's own!

[and-justice-for-all]

91. and the majority of that is for the war machine...nt

6. Absolutely n/t

[rurallib]

8. Well, as philosopher Bob Knight once said "Relax and enjoy it!"

[johnaries]

34. "This too, shall pass."

"What does not destroy us only serves to make us stronger"

But, I have to say that "relax and enjoy it" pretty much says it all!
:toast:

[johnaries]

37. Oooh! Oooh! And for all the Christians here .....

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

That's actually a great quote, no matter what religion you are.
:hi:

edit to add: Are you "fucked"? Only if you believe you are. NGU.

[dgibby]

69. Or:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
and the restraint I need not to kick the living shit of of those who so richly deserve it.

[johnaries]

70. Amen!

[femrap]

86. Knight was

referring to 'rape.' I remember that asshole's comment still today.

His wife was pissed that he could be so ignorant. Isn't he dead yet?

[lonestarnot]

9. w/o a doubt.

[OnyxCollie]

10. Yup.

[leftstreet]

11. Don't worry. B(eyond) P(etroleum) is in charge

[liberal N proud]

12. What was your first clue?

[ProSense]

13. Yup!

Obama is secretly trying to destroy the U.S., including privatizing everything, colluding with BP and other stuff.

He should fire: Duncan, Gates, Clinton, Holder, Salazar...his entire administration.

We are doomed.

Looks like we should have stuck with Bush, at least he wasn't Obama.

[cliffordu]

20. More complete and utter bullshit.

Really. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

[LeftyFingerPop]

26. Now, now.

[ProSense]

27. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself. " I am.

I forgot the sarcasm thingie.

[cliffordu]

35. Sorry, kiddo....

unless you just forgot your sarcasm thingy above this reply, in which case I forgot my sarcasm thingy, in which case your sarcasm thingy in the thread above might or might not be a real slip of the mind, and in that case I left my sarcasm thingy in my footlocker and forgot to post it.

[LeftyFingerPop]

28. Your last comment is incorrect.

[sabrina 1]

33. You need some new material.

Clearly your mind is stuck on only one of two possibilities, Neocons, or the DLC and the lesser of those evils in you mind, is the DLC. Very limited thinking on your part.

And according to that thinking, anyone who is not happy with the current make-up and policies of the Democratic Party, has only one other choice BUSSSHHH!! :scared:

Those of us not happy with the status quo are capable of finding solutions other than BUSH!! :scared: or PALIN!! :scared:

We are NOT stuck with evil or lesser evil as we proved this week by getting rid of one DLC candidate, and forcing another into a run-off.

We are moving on now to remove a third DLCer, Jane Harman, replacing her with a real progressive.

That's the third choice you apparently are not aware of. Real progressives replacing the rightwingers in the Dem Party.

As for this topic, it is clear this president is getting some very, very bad advice from those he is surrounded by on just about everything, the economy, war criminals, the environment, healthcare legislation. But he is surrounded by DLCers and Wall St. representatives. And Congress has too many DLCers on our side of the aisle. We are going to change that.

You offer no solutions, because you don't have any. But we do and we will be busy while you continue posting your old talking point ~ 'so, you want Palin'. So much for giving too much credit where it is not due.

[ProSense]

38. New material:

We are doomed.

In total, the baseless claims add up to ludicrous. The most intelligent and trustworthy protectors of our democracy are warning us: President Obama is secretly trying to destroy the U.S., including privatizing everything, colluding with BP and other stuff that Bush never tried to do.

What's the solution?

President Obama should fire: Duncan, Gates, Clinton, Emanuel, Geithner, Holder, Salazar...his entire administration.

Looks like we should have stuck with Bush, at least he wasn't President Obama.


:sarcasm:

[Jakes Progress]

71. Just wondering.

Is there anything the current administration has done or said or could do or say that would not meet with your enthusiastic approval? Is there a point you have to make other than that no one should ever say anything that in anyway calls the administration to answer for anything?

Here we have another of your patented posts. Making claims about what was said that wasn't. Arguing points not mentioned. Attempting to drive voters further and further from the Democratic party with pointless sarcasm and divisive behavior. Are your actions that draw votes away from Obama willful or just misguided?

[AllentownJake]

80. Bounce a check nt.

[sabrina 1]

72. See? You prove my point regarding limited thinking.

How do those posts affect anything in the real world?

Fyi, posts on a blog do not determine policy.

Getting rid of, IN REAL LIFE, people like Blanche Lincoln and Arlen Specter and Jane Harman are what determine policy.

You can get yourself into a tizzy over what some anonymous posters on a blog have to say if you want to.

But in the real world, action is what gets real 'change' as you were shown this week.

[bobbolink]

64. "So much for giving too much credit where it is not due."

:applause:

[PufPuf23]

67. Things are not that binary.

Obama is not trying to destroy the USA but is moving too far in privatization and is too of like mind with large corporate interests. This is because of his true mind, advisors, and what he in fact faces.

I agree that Duncan. Rahm, Vilsack, Gates, Clinton, Salazar -- I am reserved on Holder but would like to see equal treatment under the law, civil rights, and transparency -- all should be fired because they never should have been hired in the first place.

Some of us here and abroad because of our actions are doomed -- too many unnecessarily -- Obama is better than Bush and I would vote for Obama in 2012 if he is the Democratic candidate. Obama is smart, well-spoken, photo-genic, and, one would hope, a learning man unincumbered by re-election concerns in a second term. I expect Obama by his own choice will not seek a second term. I have no clue who might be his replacement and better not to voice my objectionable potentials.

I worry abput mo0re war even more than the economy and environment, granted war is the worst situation for either.

[MadMaddie]

87. I think you are on the wrong thread with your conspiracy theories!

Did you apply the same requirements against the previous administration that actually laid in the bed with big oil?

Wha? No? Call me not surprised!

[WillyT]

14. Pretty Much...

[LakeSamish706]

15. Yep, and big time. Why does this have to happen? How the hell do we break out of this

crazy that we are obviously into? Wish I knew, but at this point, we are Super Fucked!

[LeftyFingerPop]

17. It's too late...

because even if that well empties, nothing will change regarding offshore drilling. It will happen again.

[LakeSamish706]

22. I totally agree with you, and I am at a loss as to what we do as a living entity to survive this

bullshit that is happening on this planet. I wonder why the rest of the world doesn't understand that this will effect them big time, and very well could be the end of humanity!

[glitch]

29. This must be what a body feels like once cancer has metastasized

and it's still being fed cigarettes and junk food. Fucked indeed.

[xiamiam]

46. the rest of the world understands that the the planet is being destroyed for profit

it is not ok with me and it is not ok with anyone with half a brain..expect lawsuits...lots of them..including against the us..at some point, the shit is going to hit the fan

[NYC_SKP]

23. There are 50,686 individual wells/bore holes in the Gulf.

We're fucked.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8385057

[LakeSamish706]

24. Based on this one having gone bad, yep we are screwed big time!

What will happen if one or two more of these do the same thing that this BP one has done? We are so Fucked, and it hasn't come to light until this blow out that does not seem to have a solution.

[cliffordu]

36. Jesusfuckingchrist Pollyanna, give it a rest!!!

:rofl:

[NYC_SKP]

39. .

Mod term ends soon, my friend.

Then this guise of amiability is gonna come off like Krylon on a Saturn.

Good day, Sir!

[bobbolink]

53. The planet will be fine, as soon as it gets rid of the species that has fucked it up.

Bye, bye humans!

[Dr Morbius]

68. A sound idea! Let's find another planet to destroy! (nt)

[bobbolink]

88. Don't label that *my* idea..... putting words in my mouth doesn't fly.

Own it for yourself.

[Texasgal]

47. wow... what an enlightening thread.

:eyes: Maybe you should stick to the lounge.

[LeftyFingerPop]

48. Thanks for kicking my thread.

[Texasgal]

49. Just wanted to spread the

dumbness.

No problem.

[LeftyFingerPop]

50. With your response to me, you mean?

Don't put yourself down.

[Texasgal]

51. get over it will you?

really. *sigh*

[LeftyFingerPop]

52. .

really

[bobbolink]

54. Some parts of the country are allergic to reality.

[LeftyFingerPop]

56. I think it is the people specifically.

[Hempathy]

55. How so?

[LeftyFingerPop]

57. Welcome to DU.

[Hempathy]

59. Thank-you.

[lunasun]

58. No I think we are the fuckers not the fucked - shame on our destruction

[Hempathy]

61. Actually- we're the fuckers who keep getting fucked because of our collective fucking stupidity.

unless of course you're an oligarch gone slumming on the intertubes- in that case you would be a fucker who's not getting fucked.

[lunasun]

62. Yes we are such stupid fuckers we have done fucked everything now including ourselves

[one_voice]

60. Oh crap...

you ruined the ending. :-)

[mmonk]

66. +1

[carlyhippy]

63. Maybe 2012 is true, but it won't be a natural phenom that will destroy the earth, humans

are destroying our planet. Sad...so sad.

[Dystopian]

65. Yes, we are.

peace~

[tango-tee]

74. So true, unfortunately.

And here we are, standing by helplessly, watching this catastrophe grow worse by the day. My heart aches.

Peace to you, too, Dystopian!

[tango-tee]

75. That pretty much sums it up.

Succint, as always, lefty.

[Catherina]

[Canuckistanian]

81. We?

If you mean:

1. The human race in general
2. The Western Hemisphere
3. North America
4. America
5. The region where YOU come from

I agree.

[Renew Deal]

82. Are we using protection?

[TheWatcher]

83. Yes, We Are. And it appears that, for the most part, we're content to let it happen.

Roman Resignation, would be what I would call it.

We are definitely Entertained.

[Jakes Progress]

84. But, ooooh. Look at the shiny pictures.

Don't want to be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
It's calling out to idiot America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.

Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

85. I beg to differ....

We are SO fucked. WASF.
