What has gotten into y'all?

Even besides the civil liberties, people that think bad policies aren't affecting our every day life just aren't paying attention.

The fact that we are paying near $100/barrel for oil and high gas prices even in the face of low demand (15 year time frame) is blamed on refinery fires and Isaac and blah blah blah. But it is just another symptom of our money turning to trash to pay for the infinite black hole of corporate bailouts.

Everyone's ok being a frog boiling in the pot so far, just wait until elections are over. This financial repression party is just getting started - get ready for some $8 bread.

And the banks have their grip on everything now. You can't even open a checking account to hold your own damn money without having a credit check. Credit checks will be required for everything soon.

Fact is, I am becoming increasingly depressed because of an entire substrata of society who is incapable of independent thought, but gets their dogma from the mid-level political hacks who are assigned to confuse and misguide the ignorant.

Folks, spend a little time and check the facts. The aww head who's spinning the various policies to you are more than likely minimum wage college kids

Wise up.
I believe we need a ballot that says NONE OF THE ABOVE START OVER
Until we get rid of the Electoral College and Time Zoned voting , none of us are really being represented ! And that's only IF our elections aren't rigged .

Non-partisan opinion here. This flag is appropriate for both parties, although you might change which particular company logos are involved.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

You know, the closer we get to November, the better the pond thing sounds.
