Is it just my imagination...

Or do we WASTE so much of the nation's time dealing with Right Wing conspiracy theories, the failed backwards policies and proposals and just so much general crap that they're responsible for, that all we're only doing is spinning our wheels while all the greedy crooks are running up a tab behind our backs?

It that's what's going on?

That's, unless, we can reorganize a much better structure to guarantee a viable working process of getting shit done, instead of this one step forward-two-steps-back way that we're doing it now.

Frankly, I'm just sick and tired of all the fantasy thinking that we have to bail them out of, whenever they get their way for a while just to hurl a bucket of crap into everybody's fan.

Ninety percent of the time we're just cleaning their crap off the wall… Metaphorically, of course.

It's almost like we're masochists or something.

You know what we need to do? Remember, in Fight Club, that speech? I can't remember any of it verbatim, but we are the ones who wash their clothes, clean their toilets, serve their drinks. We need to get organized and post their pictures everywhere, and say, You know what? Go somewhere else, pour your own fucking drinks, drive your own damn cars, clean your own houses; we're done with you. Get out of our country, you liars and thieves. Don't just boycott their companies; boycott THEM.
