I'm starting to overdose on being "inspired."
I need practical solutions now. And revenge. I can't get over wanting revenge on republicans and the Bush administration.

Help me!

26. OMG, so am I. I want their heads handed to them. I want revenge for every day that I read the
headlines and felt my heart sink through the floorboards at another catastophe poorly dealt with
or another criminal act covered up.

I want the lifeblood pumped back into each and every soldier - on any and all sides of this fake and useless war - who was killed
since the day of "Shock and Awe," so they can go home, rejoin their families and continue their everyday, boring, blessed lives.

Sorry to get carried away, but it's a damn shame that the possibility of punishing the criminals is just a pipe dream that gets further and further away.

All that good indignation, pffffffffffffft!

4. i still feel inspired from time to time but that doesn't mean i don't want
revenge. Public humiliation, some sort of HUGH sex scandal that involves every last republican, Bush and Cheney at the Hague in the perp box.

6. As they say ...
... "Living well", (which means a Democrat living in the WH) "is the best revenge."

17. real solutions
the one that won't happen, but should, is the arrest of Bush, Cheney, et al for obstruction of justice and a trial in a criminal court. Then a trip to the international criminal court to face charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity...with their buddy Rummy. oh, and Eric Prince.

that's the revenge I'm talking about. righteous anger and just punishment.

fire every fundie Bush, etc. put in office and replace them with non-idiots. accept the resignation of every att. gen and replace them with people who care about the law, not covering someone's ass.

de-fund "faith-based" govt. programs. require churches to follow the rule of law. if they campaign for a particular party, make them pay taxes, or make them close.

Fund a "truth and reconciliation" committee, like Mandela did in South Africa, and like people in Chile did after Pinochet was ousted. Tell the truth about the shitty things these people did.

If we did those things, the U.S. would again be a respected nation. If we don't do those things... then whoever wins is complicit, at the least, in the commission of multiple crimes, both domestic and international.

should I hold my breath for that one?

19. I'll be the blueface next to you. :)
To not scream for justice and want this cabal in ruins and in chains shows a lack of Paying Any Attention at all over the last 7 years.

:grr:
