Political Hack you are spot on, but I would just like to add that Michael Moore is working for the Oligarchy, he wants government running everything and taking care of (inslaving) people from cradel to grave.

Great insight. What do we do about it? Protesting seems to be a waste of time, and who can afford, or desires, to go to jail? Our government owns everything, the press, corporations, the banks. To worsen things, there seems to be a bigger, more corrupt force backing them or using them as puppets to promote their agenda.

Throughout history, the best the common man, or honest politician, has been able to do is shift power and keep things from getting worse, regardless of how much bloodletting occurs or what sacrifices are made.

The bottom line is apparently there are a handful of people on the planet who are willing to do anything to maintain power and control. Hoping not to sound like a madwoman, but that includes torture, muder, rape, lying, stealing, cheating, you name it. This is not to mention the horrors which occur daily in military and medical labs. I would die of my own hand before I even considered doing for 1 second what many do in the name of power every hour of every day.

Do we rebel, Patrick Henry style, as crazy Rev. Manning says? Do we let them carry on with the status quo or risk all that we have that makes life worth living?

No person, or group of people, has been able to defeat the mentality which drives the likes of Hitler, Hussein, the Bush Dynasty, and thousands of others.

And it’s always a case of “new boss same as the old boss”. Obama, meet Bush.

I’m sure I’m not the 1st to ask, but what do we do about this ageless issue of a handful of people labeling themselves “government” while simultaneously destroying who and what they govern? The fact that, in the end, they suffer and die like everyone else does little, if anything, to sway them. They learn nothing from history. Religion is most often a tool for them. Those they govern are so willing to be divided on race, religion, culture, gender, and social stratification. The common man is far too often lured from his beliefs with an offer of a slice of the proverbial pie.

Really, what to do?

Were Chesterfield County what it used to be, we could get a manufacturing job. Practically none are left, and people who had been with these businesses for 30+ years are now unemployed. Their self-esteem is shot. They are angry. And they hate the time they have on their hands.

Apparently, our government doesn’t even want us to farm. They’d rather run factory farms, like those in Mexico where perhaps the Swine Flu started, ones so filthy and full of horrors that even hogs don’t deserve.

A big THANK YOU to all politicos who sold out this country and sent jobs overseas. Just remember, when the common man has no money to pay you and there’s no one to tax, or millions more are sitting in prison, you’ll be sitting on your a##es just like many are now. There won’t be money to fund your perpetual field days and your lives will be as boring and stressful and tedious as ours.

Perhaps we’ll use that extra time to figure out a sure-fire way to get you out of office, since the peaceful ones we’re using now aren’t working. Our government has apparently decided to declare war on its own citizens, or at the very least, to take away citizen’s TRUE freedom, which is the right to do what one is supposed to do. As in work or protest or question government activity. Just saying perhaps we should return the favor.

Once again, most of us don’t want benefits. We want a job. We want TRUE freedom, not the false kind being offered, in which people can run amuck and do as they please. We want a country as defined in the Constitution. We want a country based on the ideals that so many have suffered and died for.
