Poll question: Does this message at the Wal-Mart check-out line remind you of "Big Brother"? |

2. If I were a Senator, I would have voted down her confirmation. |
|
I would vote down all DHS nominations as I oppose the office.

17. So did the US government. Many times. |
|
This is nothing new. We've done this before.
The question is will be take this like good germans or will we stand up and throw a monkey wrench into the works and shut them all down.

13. This seems like a confusing message, considering that 'this administration' |
|
consists of the occupant of the White House, the Senate, and for a few more days, the House.
All these people are somehow in cahoots with WalMart?

26. I can change that post. But won't. Instead, it looks confusing in that |
|
current occupant of the WH had two years of appointing various staff and cabinet members, and at the same time his own party was in the majority in both houses of congress.
So all the discretionary staff, cabinet appointees (and any holdovers) are in cahoots with Walmart?
Better?
And with all those majorities for two years, what we have seen is the best that could have been done? That is sad.

27. Don't know what you mean by "cahoots" - I was thinking... |
|
...leave it to this admin. to "reach out" to people like Wal-fucking-mart execs.

36. Cahoots - collaboration;, secret partnership;, an accountant in cahoots |
|
Edited on Tue Dec-07-10 05:57 PM by Obamanaut
organized crime (for example)
And there is this, from your earlier post “Leave it to this admin. to work in partnership with Wal-fucking-mart to scare people’
That reads (to me) like an administration in cahoots with - in partnership with - an organization that many people love to hate because of their employment practices, their globalization efforts, their exploitation of workers, etc.
Now you say “…leave it to this admin. to "reach out" to people like Wal-fucking-mart execs…”
Reaching out to execs and scaring people just simply don’t look the same to me. Can you see how one might be confused?

Well, Big Brother didn't have the power of |

Walmart, (and other fine stores) peddling his propaganda products.
Stasimart! "Where your dollars help fight the terrorist in you!"
I'm waiting for, "Having terrorist thoughts lately, (see list)? Isn't it time to turn yourself in?"

21. I'm curious about the back story too. |
|
And what other corporate government alliances are in the future.
Certainly when I have a security concern, I will take it to a nearby Wal-Mart store manager. I bet they've been trained...for something.

a Nation of frightened, obedient dimwits who are just smart enough to do the service jobs they are told to do and mindlessly consume the Chinese crap that Walmart peddles is exactly what "they" want.

stupid move from this administration. Let the witch hunts begin. Don't like your neighbor, see them at walmart turn them in. Mad at a family member turn them in. See a stranger that's getting on your nerves turn them in. This is the same shit that was going on in the old communist and Nazi regimes. Fuck Janet, the administration and walmart.
edited to add: Lets fuck up people lives we have a grudge against.
