wow. Just WOW. Total Bat Shit Maniacs have Hijacked America

[mopaul]

Imagine you fell into a coma during Clinton's second term, and you just woke up last week and read all the papers to catch up.

would you even fucking believe it?

can you believe the crap that contemporary americans tolerate?

can you possibly wrap your mind around the damage that bush and his buddies have done in such a short period of time?

did you ever in your in your wildest imagination think that america could fall this low, so easily?

ben franklin dreamed of being pickled and brought back every century or so to see how the union held. my god, what would ben and the boys have thought about 2005 america?

now back to the coma please.

1. The neos would give him a hard time...

about having been Ambassador to France!

2. 'Bat Shit Maniacs

have hijacked America"

Thats it.
fits perfectly after reading the newspaper this morning.

[Q]

3. What would Franklin think about...

...the OTHER party in the two-party system of government? Perhaps he would think even less of the Democrats for allowing it to happen without a fight?

Imagine all the blood, sweat and tears it took for our ancestors to build a DEMOCRACY...only to see it all go to shit in a mere four years?

4. things are much worse than you can imagine...

the local papers would tell but a fraction of the story. If you (as a modern day Rip van....) I would suggest you go to www.fromthewilderness.com to catch up on what is really happening. You'd probably vomit before you'd head back to your cave to go back to sleep - hoping to escape the nightmare.

btw, 'from the wilderness' appears to have the best all-round in-depth analysis and predictions of any place I've been to. And I have been to a lot of sites. I recommend it highly. However, some articles require paid subscription. While I donate to various sites etc., this was the first time I ever subscribed, per se, but I have to admit, it has been worth it. With this site, I would do it again. (this is not an advertisement....it's just that I have learned a great deal over that which I learned from other places - though there are many good sites that provide a lot of information)

6. No doubt

But in my view, bat shit maniacs seem lately to have hijacked DU too. This place has crumbled as a forum for civil, intelligent discourse.

7. total batshit maniacs have always controlled America,but openly,arrogantly

thats whats new..
American foreign policy is where to look if you need "proof" of this.
ask the fine people in South-America if they have EVER thought that the USA is the land of the brave,home of the free,a beacon of light and bringer of democracy.
you could call this the ultimate in blowback.

8. My guess is that MOST contemporary americans have NO IDEA

what the hell is going on. I could go out on any street here and ask people if they know about:

the DSM?

how big is the US deficit?

did you know China and Japan own us?

have you seen the Abu Ghraib pictures?

do you know what Abu Ghraib is?

have you heard about the male prostitute in the WH?

did you know we torture prisoners in Gitmo?

do you know what BBV is?

did you know the last 3 elections were stolen?

have you heard about the fraudulent investments in Ohio by their REPUBLICAN governor?

did you know the WH covered up that Ohio fraud until after the 2004 election was over?

do you know how many soldiers have been murdered in Iraq?

do you know how many soliers have been maimed?

do you know how many Iraqi citizens have been murdered?

did you know the Pentagon has a database of information on your kids?

do you know they get that info from their school?

do you know the NCLB policy requires the school to do that or they don't get their funding?

did you know we taxpayers have paid to build 14 military bases in Iraq?

Did you know there's 8 million dollars MISSING in Iraq?

did you know we are preparing to attack Iran?

did you know the Patriot Act enables the FBI to go into your home anytime they wish?

did you know the FBI doesn't have to tell you when they invade your home?

did you know the FBI can bug your house and computer and go through all of your belongings without you ever knowing?


THE ANSWERS TO EVERY ONE OF THESE QUESTIONS WOULD BE A BIG FAT NO. THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY ARE LIVING IN THEIR OWN LITTLE, NARROW, BLIND WORLD. THEY AREN'T TOLERATING IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT. Just as KKKRove planned it.

I can only hope THEY WAKE THE HELL UP and SOON!

The DRAFT will be what it takes. As soon as they think THEIR kids will have to die in Iraq...THEN they may take note of what the hell is going on and REACT. Only when it affects their little, narrow and blind world will they come out of their comas. :(

9. it's going to take some serious jolt to snap them out of it

the draft, more terror attacks, etc. it's about to get 10 times worse than we ever imagined.

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. and just when we thought it couldn't get any worse.

I hate to see the rest of their GRAND PLAN.

10. I have been thinking about this for a while now...

They have inserted themselves in every aspect of society and of government in an attempt to further their own agenda (PNAC). And I am not sure what the agenda is, but it certainly is not favorable to America. The power they are usurping is stunning.

Look at any government program or entity and see the changes they are attempting to make. Each day some new horrific action is perpetrated by this administration. It is underreported and simply excepted as normal. I keep wondering at what point we will stop taking it. And I also feel helpless: what can we do?

Bush is simply a figure head. The power and control is much deeper and corrupt.
