BEST Response To The Teabaggers I Have Seen Yet!
By proud2BlibKansan

Oh, hell no!

I've seen so many anti-Obama rhetoric emails come to my PC since he was elected about eleven months now. Here is the other side's rhetoric. What do you think?

We had eight years of Bush and Cheney. And 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 the deficit hit the 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.

When you get a chance, watch as President Obama schools Republicans in an English Parlimentary style back-and-forth question period. Finally, a Democrat taking the fight to the Right!

SCOTUS decided today that corporations are free to spend as much money as they want on political campaigns. Say goodbye to Democracy. And something else we should say goodbye to is the pointless blame game that seems to be burning up the blogoshpere in the shadow of the new America established by the Supreme Court today.

Stop blaming Nader, and Gore, and Bush, the Repukes, the Dems.

THIS IS OUR FUCKING FAULT.

We are too lazy, too committed to our own personal selfishness, to have stopped things from ending up where we are.

We are - collectively - unwilling to RISK our OWN PERSONAL SITUATION.

So what the fuck did you expect, then? Did you expect Obama to come along and snap his fingers and turn back the flood of corporate power?

Or was it the Dem Congress you pinned your hopes on? That they would have Obama in the White House, and with a wave of their magical pens, stop the power from flowing to where the capital pools?

WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU REFUSED TO COMMIT YOUR OWN LIFE TO THE PURSUIT OF LIBERTY?????

The Founders risked a hell of a lot more than we might have risked by going on a national strike, or stopping to pay our bills to the corporations, or refusing to participate in elections. There are MILLIONS OF WAYS to stop corporations - but they all involve PERSONAL RISK.

So go ahead - blame EVERYONE else. Don't look in the mirror and hold yourself accountable.

I'm not simply pontificating here - I've been advocating such anti-corporate actions for YEARS - and have been, for the most part, ridiculed and ignored.

So it disappoints me to hear people crying about how fucked we are, how its everyone else's fault, and how if so-and-so would have just done something - anything - we would not be in the very real danger we are now in of losing our country to corporate power.

It's not too late to turn back the tide. And until you are finally ready, to paraphrase our Founding Fathers, to risk your life, your fortune, and your sacred honor, it is disingenuous of you to bitch.
