Why aren't the teabaggers/freepers screaming about BP? |
|
The silence is deafening.

They also blame the firefighter for the fire.

2. I guess they don't think it's a big deal. |
|
What I want to know is, what do the RWers who live in the Gulf Coast think about it? Specifically, fishermen.

21. They have some anger toward BP but they are starting to redirect it... |
|
...They are picking up on the "Obama's Katrina" meme that is getting maximum exposure down here in the Tea Party Central.

3. When you hear one BITCH about the Government response ... |
|
Agree with them ... then ... ask them to JOIN YOU in a march on Washington to DEMAND tougher regulations and enforcement of the oil industry. Ask them to help you ensure that the government has the physical resources to engage a spill such as this. Ask them to DEMAND higher taxes to fund such equipment.

They only take their marching orders from the likes of Rush and Beck, and if they are not "told" who to be upset with, they remain silent! These people can 'NOT" think for themselves, they need to be told by their overlords, Rush and Beck, who to attack, what to say, and who to vote for. They are drones that simply follow their leaders no matter how insane those leaders are!

9. They are directed to hating their government while dissuaded from even looking at corporations |
|
plus-"multinationals" have the tint of class warfare and they have been for 30 years trained not to question the leadership, their genetical betters

10. Some of them actually feel sorry for BP. |
|
They think the government is beating up on BP. I have never seen people so brainwashed in my life.

Their gods are not so godly. Even those idiots don't hate nature.

15. Their corporate media hasn't told them to be angry. |
|
The ones directly in touch with the Gulf will be, but if a tree falls and isn't on Fox, it doesn't get heard.

20. Willing, obedient, slaves to the machine. |

On the whole they are beyond hope. A few will randomly see the light to varying degrees but all the talkers of the left/right coalition are just truly optimistic believers in the best in the human heart.
These sorts have been with humankind the whole way and to do anything to move us forward it is usually been a hugely outnumbered minority. Seldom in history are their massive movements for change.
We'll get little help and from unexpected places for the most part. The majority is almost always asleep and easily directed by those with power and power always has a goodly amount of die hard pawns like the TeaPubliKlans.

22. Maybe they are so fucking stunned they are speechless. |
|
Maybe it gets to some of them that drill baby drill has consequences. Maybe they see that getting government out of the oil company's way is disastrous.
On second thought no.

"over there".
They're apparently blaming the Environmental movement for the disaster...

Environmental movement responsible for Gulf Oil Disaster
Saturday, May 29, 2010 9:56:24 AM · by Patriot1259 · 8 replies · 133+ views
TheCypressTimes.com ^ | 05/29/2010 | Tony R. Elliott The environmental catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico with the millions of gallons of crude oil is due to the limits imposed on oil companies by environmentalists and their lobbyists in Washington by implementing restrictions on drilling sites.
Yes...it appears it's all the fault of the people who want restrictions placed on drilling sites.
:eyes:
Now, please excuse me while I go delouse and disinfect... :puke:
