Klein's Shock and Awe came to mind when I read the headlines in our local newspaper

about "fire and fury" from Trump in relation to North Korea. I questions whether this is one way to distract the American people from the present investigation about Russia and our elections. As Klein puts it the crisis would allow taking away our rights. The idea of threatening our press with jail, etc reminds me of Nazi Germany. You in the GOP are going to destroy this nation and create a living hell for most people.

I for one am getting damn tired of the wealthy buying our politicians, supreme court and representatives. I am tired of your stinking attitude toward the common man. What makes you think you are so special? Money? Your moral values certainly are not religious and are more like animals. Animals feed off the weaker. Do you ever think about what you are doing to other human beings? Or are you the only ones that count? Did you wealthy ever read the Bible..the LOVE of money is the source of evil...

I guarantee you if the US goes in combat at what ever level with North Korea, it won't be the wealthy's children that will face death and injury...no they have the money and influence to use and I said use the common man for their asset protection.

I am getting really fed up with the selfishness and the stinking attitude the wealthy have towards the common man. When the majority of the common man start realizing how the "more worth while" have manipulated our lives, watch out! There are more of us than your kind. Money is not the only form of power. I think Chris Hedges is right we need to take ownership out of the hands of the few and have a democratic set up in employment.

I look at the wealthy and corporate business and I have no respect for either one. I see greed, which is not good even though your god Reagan said it was..you GOP supporters who claim to honor your creator...look into your Bible and learn what your Master told you about greed and selfishness. Get your ego out of the way and start being honest with yourself no matter how painful.
