First they came for the pensions.
Edited on Sun Apr-10-11 10:26 AM by originalpckelly
Then they came for your health care.
Then your vacation.
Your regular wages.
Your union.
Hell, they wanted your damn job in another country!
And now when your ass is broke and tired and can't work anymore, and a pension might have helped out, you have to rely on Social Security and Medicare.
Guess what they're coming for next?

These rich motherfuckers aren't content with owning just about everything, now they want what little you had coming to you from the government.

Are you gonna let that happen?

2. Fuck opposition, it's a fucking virtue now!
Edited on Sun Apr-10-11 10:28 AM by originalpckelly
To be rich now is a honored thing.

It's a dream to strive for.

Just about everyone wants to be a rich person.

But they never think about where the money comes from, and the actual odds of being rich themselves.

12. Distract and divide...
The evil Dems will force you to have an abortion so vote against them (while we, the GOP, take care of our corporate masters and give them tax breaks that you will pay for).

Or as in Arizona, they'll obscure economic issues by railing against illegals by citing beheaded bodies found in the desert.

Distract and divide, the secret GOP meme.

5. How do you feel when you've been robbed?
Scared or angry or both.

7. I am not saying you are any way wrong
It was just a comment............

I notice a lot of rage and frustration on DU lately. Most see no progress forward for this country.
Any movement seen is to go backwards.

It is like going into a fight and coming out with no blood or scrapes on you and saying you gave it your best and you come out with less than when you went into the fight.

In answer to your question my first response is to rip the person apart and to hurt them so much they would wish they were dead.

8. The first thing should be union...
First they came for your union and, once that was gone,

Then they came for your wages
Then they came for your health care
They they came for your vacation,
They they shipped your job to Bangalore, etc.

Of course, without a job, you couldn't pay the mortgage so, well, it just goes on and on doesn't it? It is very depressing.

11. No kidding.
This is happening everywhere all at once, a well orchestrated attack on working Americans. It's ALEC which I think is Koch funded. It all makes sense. Watch the next campaign cycle - to divert attention from this, the Koch-paid ads will spew that "the Dems wanted to continue to fund abortions via Planned Parenthood" and rev up the social conservatives to, once again, vote against their best interestes. That's their MO and it's been very effective.

13. These creatures are mutants. There is no soul, humanity, emotion. We're dealing with a
new breed of mutants.  They are frightening creatures.
