OMG-Look what their pushing in the name of Katrina/Rita!
Flipped on Bloomberg financial network to get the stock market reports, financial news, etc. There is one of the Repukes (don't know him)who is pontificating that prior to Katrina and Rita we had a "financial hurricane 5" heading for us that will be even worse than any Rita or Katrina. He is saying that in light of all this now, we have to start biting the bullet and get rid of Social Security and Medicare...it's just the 'right thing to do'. No mention, of it being time to stop lining the pockets of the goddamn rich with our tax money. No mention that maybe it's goddamn time these rich bastards start paying for SOMETHING and stop dumping it off on the middle class whose wages and benefits they keep cutting or sending their jobs overseas. No mention of it being time to stop waging goddamn wars based on in-your-face lies to line Haliburton's pocket, etc. Nooooooooo, it's time to kiss anyone over 65 goodbye and pull the plug for Amureka!! This country isn't worth a steaming pile of shit any longer..it really isn't. Unbelievable how fast these vultures can spin even a natural disaster into "their" evil, anti-American-people agenda!!! Wake up America-YOU are the enemy of these people and they intend to kill you.

1. They're like undisciplined silver spooned spoiled brates, aren't they?
And he didn't mean it was the "right" thing to do. He said it was the "Right" thing to do.

4. They'll never get away with it
they just can't shoot all the angry people over 65 who own guns and would be protesting in DC night and day if they ever tried to cut Social Security.

8. They are confident they can suppress popular dissent.
In many ways the New Deal was a sop to the American people to keep them from revolting. Obviously this gang thinks they can handle us no matter what.

What are they prepared to do to maintain control? To what lengths will they be willing to go?

13. They will kill us in the streets without a second thought
and spin it to their hearts' content through the prostrate, whoring, wholly owned media. And the sheeple will cheer their Chimperor. Just like the German regime did in the 1930s and 1940s. The only comeuppance will come from outside our borders. The game's over.

12. They'll abandon New Orleans before they'll abandon Baghdad.
They'll abandon medicare. They'll abandon Social Security. They'll abandon veterans. They'll abandon government pensioners. They'll abandon every government obligation to the poor and middle class but they won't abandon Baghdad. That ought to show you where their priorities are at.

I think Rita is going to finally be their downfall and they know it's coming.
