My facebook rant in reaction to a friend posting an "endobamacare" link. *rant alert*

( ok, this part of my rant had nothing to do with ObamaCare, I was just venting by this time) Bush's idea of fighting Al Quedia was to start a global, endless, multi-trillion dollar set of wars, the cost of which was all placed on the nation's credit card along with two huge, unnecessary tax cuts also placed on the china credit card all without a peep about having to pay for ANY OF IT by the republicans in congress who now can't even allow judicial placements.

They are committed to one promise made by the repugnant senate leader, Mitch McConell, who said their number one priority from day one was to deny the President a second term. So blind with racial hatred are they that they can't co-operate in any way, and are committed to this country's economy failing all so that they can resume absolute power and take us back to the Bush days forever.

By the way, this current President's answer to Al Queida is to completely irradiate them one-by-one. This current administration saved America's auto industry too. I know alot of people are envious of auto-workers because through collective bargaining they earn a living wage. They have given up plenty in the last couple of years though.

Thanks to groups like freedom works and the Koch bros and the right-wing supreme court's "Citizen United" ruling we will soon be under permanent single-party right-wing rule and there will be no turning back.

It will be interesting to see the looks on the faces of the low-information voters and other tea-baggers when they find out that the Koch bros. only used them for votes and that they don't really care about their prayer in schools and little baby jesus and fertilized eggs are people and all that stuff, they all they really cared about was taking over government so that they could get rid of the unions that make you all so envious of your neighbors, and get rid of the EPA so that they can pollute all they want to lower their costs, and to eliminate the minimum wage and the social safety net so that they won't have to ship jobs overseas, they'll have third-world laborers right here at home.

I read that support sites in other countries for cancer victims tell them about what to do to be more comfortable, what to drink and eat to deal w the chemo well, what to do for some joy.

Here our sites contain how to file bankruptcy info.

This is a brutal system, no less so than the lions at the Coliseum.

Not sure why the NHS haven't transferred the info to website yet but they give out little booklets telling you how to best deal with chemo.

figured out that Repukes don't give a rat's ass about the family values smokescreen they've erected - that it's just a ploy to get the substantial sucker vote. If people wised up, the Repuke party would quickly be relegated to fringe status as the party of 1%. Instead, the ignorant masses consistently vote against their own self-interest and hand political power to a bunch of lowlife crooks who use it to enrich themselves and their corporate overlords.

The tragedy is that these people are so brainwashed and far gone they staunchly defend the criminals who are robbing them blind. "Please sir, can I have some more?"

twenty years of public education being dismantled, twenty years of RW hate radio, fifteen years of FOX News dominance.

If you're looking for reasons for the phenomenon, look no further!

if we just gave those who want to live in a country where everyone has to fend for themselves a portion of the US and let them do what ever they want and the rest of us can more forward.

The low information types are holding the rest of us back and we have to more forward else this nation will cease to exist.

Whenever a Pub/Teahadist/Con complains about bad roads, problems with the schools, job loss, etc I always smile and tell them "What are you complaining about, YOU are the one who wanted smaller government and no taxes, you are getting EXACTLY what you voted for."

This how they have to be treated, make them suffer for the consequences of their actions it is the only way they will learn that voting for pubs and teahadists has consequences.
