Did We Need Another Demoralizing Vietnam type Conflict?

Sad, we put our generation through the same thing we did to the Vietnam generation... we just crammed loving the troops down peoples throats this time which I totally understand. At least this time they have no been greeted by bags of dog poop and ugly names. At least this time they were greeted as the heroes they are, and people have become smart enough to separate the Soldier doing HIS JOB from the idiots in power who MAKE him do his job. However, again they are sent to a place they should not be in, and are asked to achieve the impossible.

This should seem familiar

I really hope reading this and doing just a very small amount of investigation on your own will lead you to the same revelation I am having... We may be next in all of this, but like our typically full of ourselves American Selves have always been, we don't see what other people do or the right or wrong in it because "This is "Amurica", and this is my country, so you and the rest of the Social-liber-commie-homo-child -killers can go eat a big one because my land was 50 years ago and y'all are kiling it..." Yeah, remember when people drank from different fountains, couldn't attend the same schools or eat at the same places, and people got fire hoses and attack dogs on them for wanting a bit of equality?

Why Are The Occupy People Angry?

Charts for Anger

Listed above are easy to read charts about why the Tea Party missed the mark (due in part to association with Koch Bros), and now a new movement needs to come forth. Enjoy the charts. Easy to read, easy to figure out. I see nothing in them that says we need to protect the wealthy and their money. Watch Greece, we are heading their way soon.

Mad Now?

YOU WANT TO GET MAD? We had eight years of Bush and Cheney, but now you get mad! You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President. You didn’t get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to... dictate energy policy. You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative got ousted. You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.. You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us. You didn’t get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war. You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq. You didn’t get mad when you found out we were torturing people. You didn’t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans. You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden. You didn’t get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed. You didn’t get mad when we let a major US city drown. You didn’t get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich. You didn’t get mad when, using reconciliation; a trillion dollars of our tax dollars were redirected to insurance companies for Medicare Advantage which cost over 20 percent more for basically the same services that Medicare provides. You didn’t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark, and our debt hit the thirteen trillion dollar mark. You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans… oh hell no. AND NOW YOU’RE MAD!!!
