"'ll show you politics in America. Here it is, right here. "I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs." "I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking." "Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets!" "Shut up! Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control. Here's Love Connection. Watch this and get fat and stupid. By the way, keep drinking beer, you f'n morons."

-Bill Hicks

The establishments of both political parties — whether because of actual conviction or political calculation — are equally devoted to the National Security State, the Surveillance State, and the endless erosion of core liberties they entail. Partisan devotees of each party generally pretend to care about such liberties only when the other party is in power — because screaming about abuses of power confers political advantage and enables demonization of the President — but they quickly ignore or even justify the destruction of those liberties when their own party wields power.

Hence, Democratic loyalists spent years screeching that Bush was “shredding the Constitution” for supporting policies which Barack Obama now enthusiastically supports, while right-wing stalwarts — who spent years cheering on every Bush-led assault on basic Constitutional limits in the name of Terrorism — flamboyantly read from the Constitution during the Obama era as though they venerate that document as sacred.

The war on civil liberties in the U.S. is a fully bipartisan endeavor, and no effective opposition is possible through fealty to either of the two parties.

-Who in the h3ll said you were...?

Wow what parent m0lested you? you come off like the sarcastic bully who acts like a blow hard tough guy all because his daddy diddled in his pants.

Get some therapy and rejoin the conversation.

Huh? you been drinking before noon again? You are barely coherent.

Toxicity is independent of political party and your attitude towards it. In other words you can be smug or sarcastic but let me be clear. Ionizing radiation like the stuff being released from this plant is no laughing matter. it is dangerous stuff and everyone should remain aware of it. Regardless of the propaganda being peddled by the government and the fake news sites that are owned by corporate interests.

"Everything everywhere is radioactive". Thanks for the attempted science lesson but the concern is ionizing radiation and the contamination from the Fukushima plant is ionizing radiation. So you can skip the whole "bananas are radioactive so you have nothing to fear" bit. The leaking radiation is a major concern. Of course the government is going to downplay it as it does everything. That doesn't make ionizing radiation safe. People have every right to be concerned by this.

It doesnt take a genius to see whose controlling the strings... you can be as much of a sarcastic m0ron as you want but unless you are a multi-millionaire you are just another poor working slob like me.

"What's next then, genius, trutherism? So is it LIHOP or MIHOP?" Uh what are you rambling about now?

I already know why the cost of producing goods in the country has gone up and manufacturing has been outsourced. But if people really cared about something other than the bottom line than perhaps something could be done about it. My point is that we are a greedy nation.

You can rant and rave about other countries stealing ideas or being slave states or whatever, honestly I started to tune you out about half way through. I know old timers like to ramble but put a muzzle on it gramps. My ignorance on economics and finance? Keep blabbing old timer and maybe we can pretend its the 1920s again for nostalgias sake.

Well geezer, i'm sorry for calling you boy...

Mister Obamas church led by the Rev.Wright , a communist front ." I really dont care if its a front or not you worship at a Christian church even with Tickle Me Elmo as a pastor, than you are a Christian.

"He was born a Muslim , the law of Islam is clear , he remains a Muslim for all time" uh ok, well I'm American and I have the right to choose my religion and guess what so does Obama and if he chooses Islam, then great for him. Although he says he is a Christian than so be it. You can believe it whatever silly religion you want to. His religious preference is protected by our First Amendmen rights.
