I'm a proud member the "Angry Left."
Edited on Wed Feb-22-06 03:10 PM by converted_democrat
Damn skippy I'm angry, in fact, I'm downright pissed..

Our nation is being fleeced of everything of value.. Our rights are being stripped away.. The people of America are being spied on.. The president acts as if he is king.. We are being sold off to China.. Our ports are going to be managed by the UAE.. We are torturing people.. We are starting pre-emptive wars for profit.. The number of people in poverty is drastically going up.. People are dying because they can't afford health care.. People are dying because they can't afford medicine.. Our children are being given a sub standard education.. Science is a dirty word.. Religious nuts are running the country.. Our voting machines aren't secure.. Our nations security is being placed in danger by the administration that is supposed to protect us.. Many in this country actually think greed is a value.. Our country is being bankrupted systematically.. Our "elected leaders" outed a CIA agent putting her, and the rest of the nation in danger.. Average people can't afford housing in many areas of the country.. Our pensions are being raided.. The price of everything is going up dramatically.. Our leaders let a city drown, along with the people that live in it.. The media isn't telling the whole truth when it comes to the * administration.. This administration denies that global warming even exists.. Our veteran's benefits are being cut.. Our infrastructure in many areas of the country is falling apart.. People are buried under a mountain of credit card debt.. We as a nation have a negative saving rate.. We are 8 trillion in debt, with few ways out.. Our jobs are being shipped overseas..

Damn straight I'm angry.. In fact, I'm down right pissed.. All America has ever stood for is being destroyed.. I'm proud to be a member of the "angry left," I love my nation, and I can't stand watching her be destroyed.

on edit- It's like I'm being forced to watch my best friend die of a completely curable disease, and I'm not allowed to give her the medicine she needs..

2. Nicely said.
Anyone who isn't pissed off is either too rich to give a shit or so blindly partisan that they refuse to accept reality.

Despite the ridiculous tripe spewed by the likes of our MSM and such luminaries as Coulter, O'Reilly, Limbaugh and Hannity, the boat is full of gaping holes. Either we wake up and start patching or get ready to start swimming...

3. I'm With Ya! If All This Isn't Enough To Justify Anger, WTF Would Be?
I'm proud to be angry at them, and proud to declare why.

7. Damn right-
I read a response by a DUer the other day;

"If you're not angry you're not paying attention"...

that pretty much says it all for me.

8. It's better than being a member of the "Bitch-ass Right".
Edited on Wed Feb-22-06 02:32 PM by HughBeaumont
Bushwick Bill once said:

"Fuck those unknown motherfuckers.
With a ten-foot pole they can't touch us."

Yes.

America is being sold snake oil and all these bitch-asses do is go soles up for the Fascist Grand Cyclops and his hillbilly frat puppet.
