So, the dead people in Chicago elected a socialist. You
can't understand the concept of hating a socialist who (with
a lot of help from Democrats in congress) is destroying the
USA. But at the same time, these people in the tea parties
love the USA. Hard working tea party people, who love the
USA and hate the socialist in charge for what he, and they
(liberals) are doing.

BS. If you want another Depression with 20+ %
unemployment, do go and
cut everything but the pentagon and Congress's expenses.

I have come to the conclusion that's exactly what some
people want. They're
like the nurses who nearly kill patients by stopping their
hearts with
medication so they can get credit for reviving them. They
never see
themselves as guilty of attempted murder. Yet they are.

When I see the naked contempt people have for the government
and for Obama,
I assume they really have the same naked contempt for the
entire country.
How could they not? They don't seem able to respect the
fact that they were
outvoted and the majority has spoken. If they can't respect
the outcome of
an election how can they really respect the institution of
democracy? They
can't. They want everything to happen their way and
consider any other
viewpoint, even the majority's, as wrong and needing
correction or
obstruction. And they're not shy in saying so. )-:

How the near-collapse of the economy by investment bankers
taking wild risks
on incredibly mis-rated securities with other people's money
turned into an
assault on teachers, unions and governments is beyond me.
Those people and
institutions were for the most part the victims of pension
fund raiders, not
the perpetrators.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the people who
transferred all of that
wealth to themselves are trying to finger *anyone* else for
the economy's
collapse. I'll bet they take really extravagant vacations
with that money
the carved out of our savings and investments that makes
Obama's Spanish
vacation look like a busman's holiday. FWIW, this article:

http://articles.latimes.com/2010/aug...spain-20100807

gives the *real* story, not some made up partisan drivel
meant to sling mud
and little more.

Witch-hunting and demonizing are sadly how societies tend to
react: Bad
economy in 1930's Germany, blame the Jews. In Italy? Blame
the Gypsies!
In America, blame the illegal aliens, the poor, the
Indians - whoever's
close by.

I hoped America would be somehow different and better, able
to resist the
base impulses of society. The saddest part? No one seems
to remember that
when the poor become so poor that they have nothing left to
lose, civil
disorder soon follows and everybody loses.

I remember driving down 14th in DC after the riots, looking
at the
shopkeepers standing in the middle of their burned out
shops. Just like we
learned nothing, apparently, from the Vietnam war, we appear
to have learned
nothing from the outbreaks of rioting we've seen in economic
hard times.
General MacArthur made his "bones" burning out the campsites
of impoverished
WWI Army vets that wanted the bonuses promised them earlier
than 1945 (which
they eventually got, even over FDR's veto:

We're doing much the same thing, but in a hideously
different way with the
AfRaq veterans as the debacle of incredibly substandard
treatment at Walter
Reed proved. It's likely that as the wars are forgotten, so
will the
veterans that fought them. We're condemned to repeat the
mistakes of the
past, it seems . . .
