Facebook rant (I know it us useless but hey) by Me.

its always something....if you hate this country so much jeff why do you stay..honestly...i never understand why people that hate america stay here...oh...is that because there is no greater country that exists..one that gives you the opportunity to bitch and complain about how its run and what all it does for you...shame on you

My respone:

We are trying to make it better than we already have. WE got women, blacks, those able to serve in the military the right to vote. We also constantly make sure the poor can vote - against opposition. We created the system for the elderly to not be on the street (Social Security), basic healthcare (Medicaid & Medicare). We professionalized the police. We ended segregation. We passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act -- WE saved the Bay and the Outer Banks. WE created the Eisenhower interstate system. WE made it okay for loving people to get married (Loving v. Virginia). WE have done all that in the face of a money deluge and in the last 30 years a basic media blackout. WE are the people and WE use the 9th and 10th Amendment exhaustively....and we ain't gonna quit. We are right and we know it and WE will win.

and how did YOU.accomplish any of that...because you live in a country that allows you to have that kind of voice despite some of its ridiculous outcries of injustice and yet no matter what you are given its never enough.. you can never be
satisfied...someone is always holding you down ..and back....a media blackout...are you nuts...all we hear is your one -sided opinions whether it is tv or newpaper..and as far as people getting married ...i wouldnt hang my hat on that one...and what is it about money that pisses you off so much...that other people have created an environment where they have some...isnt that why your beloved immigrants sacrifice all to be here....because of money....you will never win the war....this past election and the one in november will slam dunk that home for me and all the others who think like me





You are right, it is never enough. WE always strive for more rights. We are like water - always onward. We also know that we live in a media bubble - Fox News is #1!!!! and then they play victim. It is like any other industry - whatever works is copy-catted from football to politics. We don't play victim. The pillars of AM radio and Fox News are: 1. play victim. 2. follow me out os the wilderness 3. declare VICTORY because we are WINNERS and we were always right!! It is an abusive relationship. Don't look outside the window - what I say goes.. NAME, I love these discussions and I hope that nothing I have said has been negative. WE go forward and that includes welcoming others. CRIPES that was a lot of typing.

At least that is the line they gave when w was in office. And it is the rich righties like Limbaugh who are always threatening to leave if they don't get their way.

Is this a right winger, sounds like one. Then he has no complaints with the current President, right?
