Tell A Friend

Reagan rose to prominence by deriding student protesters as ungrateful little snots and cutting social programs as a just response. He tapped into an undercurrent of anger that somebody was getting something for free that you were not. A reverse class war, where the upper classes were deserving of privilege while workers and unions were fat, lazy malcontents. George W. Bush’s error has been his inability to hide his contempt for working Americans. His I-know-better-than-you attitude, and besides, I’m going to do it anyway!

He declares war and you’re going to fight it, He doesn’t care how many of your children die, after all he doesn’t do funerals. McCain can try and distance himself from Bush positions but not from Bush privilege. McCain's campaign co-chair, Phil Gramm, said America is a nation of whiners, and that wasn’t a misstatement. He really thinks this, you just shut up and let your betters do the thinking. What does the McCain campaign say about Obama? He is inexperienced and that they know better! Of course they do, in their minds they know better than everyone. Much has been made by the media of Obama’s lack of foreign policy experience, but do they mention it’s the same amount of experience that George W. Bush had in 2000?

Last week Keith Olbermann reported that CBS News, in an interview with John McCain, edited McCain’s answer by cutting out a gaffe and replacing it with the answer to another question. This was Winston Smith’s job in "1984." Networks are fined for the flash of a woman’s nipple but allowed to push a raging penis of a lie into the faces of the American public. CBS’s response when caught in their lie, "Oops, it was an editing accident." The McDonalds eating, Wal-Mart shopping, unwashed, Nascar-watching bumpkins will never know the difference.

John McCain says he is willing to stay in Iraq for 100 years and he means it. It's your children, not his! He draws a military pension, Social Security and a Senate salary but offers more of the same crap; less is more but still he cashes his check and calls it disgraceful. They are deserving while you are not. Let the levees fail. Let the walls and bridges fall in and maybe the government isn’t always the answer, but take a good look around at what the world looks like when they’re not your friend at all.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Social Security, Student Loan programs and the GI Bill were developed to give you some sort of floor, some sort of protection from exploitation and from speculation by the people who would treat you like crap. The very people in government today who say that you are crap, you undeserving whiners, just shut up and do as you’re told and remember your place when you speak to your betters! Angry? Damn right I’m angry.
