How To Create an Ugly American

http://welcome-to-pottersville.blogspot.com/2007/07/how-to-create-ugly-american.html



I’m talking about the kind of American that’s ugly with justified anger, the American whose once easy-going soul has been twisted with loathing and outrage when they finally start putting two and two together and juxtaposing the lies with the truth and facts and lying denials of having lied.

This video only puts together some of the public protests and outbursts that we’ve seen during the six and a half years of the crime syndicate not so plausibly passing itself off as an actual government. We haven’t yet gotten to the point that Romania had reached when they’d finally had enough of Nicolae Ceausescu but we’re fast getting there.

This latest power grab and act of both intolerance toward the peace movement and another nudging of the executive branch away from the legislative and judicial is just another large step toward a dictatorship that only inches an angrier and angrier mob toward the front door of the White House.

George Bush was greeted on Inauguration Day 2001 with eggs thrown at the presidential limousine and protests so vituperative that he had to forgo the traditional walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. If he lives long enough to complete his second term in office, it’ll be enormously entertaining to see what awaits him on Inauguration Day 2009 (that is, unless the corporate MSM downplays it, as they surely will). Will the protests merely come full circle or was the hatred and anger on January 20, 2001 but a muffled prologue?

3. Ugly American? How about
ugly world? The more that time goes on, I notice that the average American is being victimized, every bit as much as the rest of the world.
I think the Americans should get ugly. Real ugly. I read somewhere that "the only people Washington fears are the Americans".

Let's hope so.:smoke:
