Did we truly get the government we deserve?
That old canard, 'you get the government you deserve', is it too sad to be true?

Yes, we got EXACTLY what we all deserve, assholes, pirates, mass murderers, & monsters.

No, NOBODY deserves to be governed like this, not no body, not no how.

Does America deserve better, or are we just reaping what we've allowed to be sewn?

1. Yeah, we did, thanks Ralph Nader voters.
And we are going to again, thanks to concern trolls who have put hate wedges between the voters and Hillary, Pelosi and other demonized women.

2. Maybe we didn't deserve it in the beginning.......
.......what sure do now - we let them get away with one power grab after another, with Constitution violations, lies and criminal conduct of various sorts. We took it, we kept quiet (relatively, we didn't stop them. We deserve it!

4. We no longer have a government. It has been hijacked by a group of thugs who are
packing every branch of it with their loyalists.

Since we no longer have a government, the question is moot.

5. Sometimes you go to war with the government you have, not the government you want
Oops, Rumsfeld said that about the soldiers.

6. We get the government the majority deserve
That's why it's important to listen to those in the minority.

7. The little monster called the CIA
who has been running amuk in our country and other countries with secret torture and assassinations has mutated into the monster running the country. It is like the Hal machine who takes over. That is my analogy for the day.

I saw movie Tailor of Panama the other day, where they show Bush1 created Noriega. It was all right there. People know about this stuff.

8. It is not true.
Because the people have been lied to, cajoled, under-educated, ignored, and disenfranchised.
