It's all a joke isn't it?

[MrScorpio]

- Glenn Beck's daily extended TWO MINUTES' HATE reported as undisputed fact

- Militarized untouchable police forces that rival most nations' military forces

- A movie that can't be shown in this country, not because it's obscene, but because it has the audacity to depict things that are told in all elementary school textbooks

- One political party dominated by ill-tempered, illiterate hacks and another party that can't even organize itself out of a paper bag

- People caught red handed using language that's straight out of the Ku Klux Klan handbook, but are fine upstanding folks who get really thin skinned when you correctly call them racists

- Corporate excess (murder, corruption, fraud, embezzlement and kickbacks)... All financed courtesy of the tax payers. Just don't give pennies to a company that helps poor people.

- The free exercise of religious prayers decried as anti-American

- You want health care in the richest country in the world? Feel free to go bankrupt first

- And a man who is seen by half the country as too smart, worldly, sophisticated, educated, articulate, thoughtful, deliberate and black to be president. Even if he is the president.

- Prancing felons all over the TV machine

Well... What else can I say?

It's too sad to be laughable... It's like all of us are the butt of really sick joke.







Ha-ha. Very funny, motherfuckers.

[lpbk2713]

1. It's either laugh or cry.

Some times I don't know which is the more appropriate. :shrug:

[madeline_con]

2. Has Beck filled up his chalkboard with jibberish again? n/t

[HopeHoops]

3. Our nation is 30% Dumbfucks

They are collectively known as "FOX viewers" and are beyond rehabilitation. Stupidity is a powerful force.

It is a sad fact, but there you have it.

5. QUestion...are we here yet:

answer: yes

21. OMG

:wow:


What the HELL was THAT?! I'm so glad I don't have cable...

[thelordofhell]

24. Go Away......Batin'!!

:fistbump:

[downeyr]

28. Love the "Idiocracy" reference. nt

[ismnotwasm]

4. Right down the rabbit hole

People are even more bizarre than I thought they were.

My husband found a Shell credit application card with the word "Socialism" above a photo shopped picture of President Obama--his mouth was a bloody red slash.
The card had had some sort of picture info and someone pasted this fucked up picture over it--almost making it look like Shell endorsed the picture until you looked harder. (Not as big of a cognitive jump as you might think)

My son is on leave from Iraq. He told me there are quite a few racist little shits in the military who judge Obama by the color of his skin first. Fuckers.

I notice the general media, wholesale cheerleaders for that piece of should-be-in-prison shit Bush, loves to use misdirection and blame when doing stories on President Obama.

In my state that weirdo/idiot/sociopath Glen Beck is getting a 'key' to a small city. Nice little town. I won't be visiting or spending money there anymore.



Alice was better off truth to tell.

[MadMaddie]

17. The city council didn't back the mayor on this move

The mayor is on his own....there were major protests against Beck too.

[ismnotwasm]

25. Oh, I know

It's not actually Mt. Vernon's fault of course. It's just that Beck is such a smarmy piece of useless shit. If Mt. Vernon paid any kind of price for the mayors lunacy Beck would enjoy it.

I should do something like support http://ColorofChange.org/ instead.

[whathehell]

33. The sadly infuriating thing is, I doubt these dumbfucks could even DEFINE socialism

[Pharaoh]

6. which movie?

A movie that can't be shown in this country, not because it's obscene, but because it has the audacity to depict things that are told in all elementary school textbooks

[lame54]

8. the new Darwin movie...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BREvUKpZTeU

[MrScorpio]

9. A movie about Darwin

http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/no-us-distributor-charles-darwin-mov

[Pharaoh]

10. But is it literally banned?

I did not know we had slipped that far........

[MrScorpio]

13. It can't find a distributor

They're all running scared


Basically, it's cowardice and fear for their bottom line... I guess that's what trumps free speech these days

[anonymous171]

20. They found a distributor. The entire thing was just a huge publicity stunt.

The nontraversy was completely fabricated. No one cares about that movie. From what I hear it is essentially one giant borefest. Biology is not exiting and Darwin was emo.

[lib_wit_it]

27. Are they stilll allowing evolution in the textbooks? Well, not for long, I'll bet. /m

[lame54]

7. thing only thing missing is an introduction by Rod Serling

[MrScorpio]

11. Submitted for your approval... nt

[Pharaoh]

12. Oy................

:crazy:

[RC]

14. Excellent tag line.

"You want health care in the richest country in the world? Feel free to go bankrupt first"

[Kablooie]

15. Hey, welcome to the human race.

We tend to overrate ourselves a lot.

[proud patriot]

16. "life's the stage and we are merely players"

Interesting times we live in

[KoKo]

18. Yes...it's all a joke and we are the "Jokers." What are we going to do about it?

Laugh, Cry...or keep fighting against it?

For me...I never like being butt of joke or used and abused as butt of joke.

I figure...I'm smarter and those who are with me are smarter. We might be "jokes" now...but it's a long road ahead. I intend to make a difference. I will go out trying to do that. And, there are still some around here who would agree with me... Not many...but enough. The rest are dispersed all over the ETHERNET...they are there,still FIGHTING, also.

[SeattleGirl]

19. I couldn't agree more, MrS

I feel like the world is completely upside down and backwards right now, at least the world as inhabited by the USA.

I thought things would get better when Obama was elected, and in many ways, they have.

But in some ways, they are worse. The anger, hatred, ugly talk, etc. (as you mentioned) is infecting this country.

It is to weep.

[orleans]

22. well said--i really liked the "Ha-ha. Very funny, motherfuckers" part the best. n/t.

[GirlAfire]

23. Excellent Post, MrS

You've described the situation so succinctly.

I was just thinking of this one point of yours the other day: People caught red handed using language that's straight out of the Ku Klux Klan handbook, but are fine upstanding folks who get really thin skinned when you correctly call them racists

There is the "the zoo has an African lion, and the White House has a lyin' African," the labeling of Obama's wife and children as "ghetto trash," and the "stand idle while some Kenyan tries to destroy America?" signs, to name only a few, and it seems that they go to great extremes to classify that as anything save racism. They present themselves as if they are upholding their civic duties as Americans, as champions of the Constitution, and I suppose we are supposed to kindly regard the "Homey Don't Play DAT!!!" signs they hold as only incidental. Yeah, okay.

[BigBearJohn]

26. Yep. I'd say that's just about right. Pass the vaseline.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

29. I can't believe the world we live in now

It just seems to be some sort of sick, bizarre parody of what it used to be

[barbtries]

30. sick

we are a sick nation.
you forgot the wars.

[Algorem]

31. don't waste time with this,iran is trying to blow us up real good.get with the program.

[conscious evolution]

32. Unfortunately,its no joke

unless you are one of the ones laughing at the suckers who fell for the illusion that this is a free country.

[MrScorpio]

34. We can now take number three off the list

I'd love to work on the others too
