The Few, The Proud . . . The Ignorant

Watch this and ask yourself this question: should we really allow morons to vote for the leader of our country?

I can almost hear strains of Lee Greenwood's patriotic anthem "Proud to be an American" as this bozo, er . . . I mean citizen mumbles his way through his diatribe. The moment when his spit hits the cup . . . Priceless!

Liars and the Fools Who Vote for Them

Sometimes I’m amazed at the general stupidity that seems to be pervasive in our culture. I realize that there are many books about reasons behind the Republican votes of working-class citizens and how they seem to constantly vote against their own self-interest by siding with the right wing of American politics. I look at the headlines from the last couple of weeks and wonder why anyone with a speck of conscience, and who works for a living would support these fat white hypocrites on the right. Just today we seeing reverberations from Sen. Phil Gramm’s comment that the United States is a “nation of whiners” and that we were merely suffering from a “mental recession.” This is the same guy who, while he was a corporate whore in the senate, created the loopholes that allowed the banks to practice their predatory lending schemes. Of course these rich white fools are claiming that the working poor are just whiners. The McCains have so many properties that they actually forgot to pay the taxes on some beachfront property in Malibu for the last four years.

Now if you’ve been happy being hand-fed lies by the rich ruling class for the last seven and a half years, then you go right into that voting booth and vote for the most obvious liar on the ticket. Hell, John McCain, along with the criminal-in-charge known as G.W. Bush, were vociferously against the most recent G.I. Bill introduced by Senator Jim Webb (McCain didn’t even have the courage to show up for the vote), but now they’re both taking credit for getting it through the senate. Bush actually mentioned John McCain as one of the people who helped work on this important bill to get it passed. HELLO!! How big of a lie does it have to be before someone says, “Hey! That emperor has no clothes on!” The media keeps these liars cloaked with some type of media protection that dupes most of the people most of the time.

Just the other day John McCain was called on his lies by an actual Vietnam Veteran. McCain saw the man’s baseball cap with a declaration of his service embroidered on it and made a show of calling on him first. The man brought up McCain’s nonsupport of the recent G.I. bill, and his otherwise spotty record on veteran’s issues. McCain totally ignored the part of the question about the G.I. bill and then went on to claim that he had the endorsement of every veterans’ group. The actual veteran called him on that lie too. McCain’s response? Well, just watch the lying hypocrite in action:

I am so Serious

It's a big holiday weekend! Flags are flying! Citizens are stumbling through verses of The Star Spangled Banner. Fireworks are driving pets crazy. Below are a couple of videos that exemplify America.

Bush Tours America To Survey Damage Caused By His Disastrous Presidency

Meanwhile back on the campaign trail: Barack Obama keeps playing the centrist, making his supporters on the left feel a little nervous. Of course I could never vote for a nutjob like John McCain. I could always throw all of my enormous voting power behind Ralph Nader. Or Bob Barr? I think not.
