USA?? Courageous or Wussy Wimps?

[opihimoimoi]

What are we Americans as a Whole? If we were to look into the mirror what do we see?

Are we filled with Courage or are we Sheepesque people led by an Unscrupulous Force bent on their own agenda all wrapped up in Patriotism/Apple Pie? Is it courageous to blindly follow those chosen by the Religious Shepperd's?

Where is the Courage to follow New Ground, New Paths, to Pioneer New and Better Ways to live with? Is it Courageous to Stay The Course given our horrible and questionable results thus far? Are we a Nation of Brain Washed "Stolen Minds" with myopic vision?

The Voices of Reason, Self Examination, Sanity, Altruism, peeks out with Evidence and Common Sense that the Path Bush represents is fraught with land mines/IEDs and yet we see hesitation/rejection by the wimpy "Stolen Minds"; They being of unsound reason.

Come, we vote to see if America is Brave enough to shuck the yoke of Conservatism(greed) and enter into the realm of Greatness, Richness, and Wisdom.

Lets see if we got the guts to "Solve How to Live Together Better."

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

1. We are largely a nation of...

Sociopaths with ADD. Insight and impulse control are not our strong suits.

[opihimoimoi]

4. How can we solve to correct this Collective ADD thingy?

[Vickers]

2. Call me crazy, but I think this country is strong enough to overcome this

But I don't count on it being in my lifetime.

I'm 39 BTW.

[opihimoimoi]

5. Yes, we are Strong enough ,but can we muster the WILL to do

the Self Cure thing? Do we lack the Courage>

[Vickers]

7. Yes, good point

I think we are strong enough, but our collective will has not been fueled by outrage enough to get any kind of change going yet.

It will, it will.

[opihimoimoi]

8. This is our best opportunity to show the World and Ourselves that

The Good Force, the Positive one, Can and will Overcome the Madness of the Negative Force Bush and his Masters represent.

Come, we look for Sanity and Reason; they were last seen in McDonalds
hanging out with those guys from around the block.

[Deja Q]

3. Other. People are geniuses for wanting to be led.

Depending on the issue, everybody's naive. But the real problem is people have lost the will to stand up for what is right, and to live in fear.

9/11 helped too and * knew it work to his* advantage.

[opihimoimoi]

6. Is the Root problema LAZINESS???

The Ultimate Crutch: "I was unaware, I didn't know. Tell me what to think."

[Hubert Flottz]

9. It's almost a tie but the sheeple are starting to wake up!

The truth about the Nazification of our nation has been shown in the dreaded pictures from the prisons in Iraq! We tried to tell the GOPer sheep, but they just couldn't believe what we were saying, about the Nazis taking over our government, until they saw it in the photos! You and I knew didn't we? The secret orders from the top of a secretive chain of command, just like in Nazi Germany, passing down the chain to the cruel guards with their cruel dogs and the officers in charge of the prisons who probably laughed and joked as their victims screamed! The pictures brought it to life for you and me just like the pictures did in 1945!

As the war escalated in Iraq, so did the cruelty and pain escalate, just like in WWII! When we engaged in aggressive war in Iraq we crossed the line, that always before separated us from nations like Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan! I was against the war because I'd read my history books, just as Robert Byrd says we all should!

The people in Europe sensed it before America did, because they had felt it all before!

11. How Right you are Hubert. Only thing missing in this equation is THE

Brown Shirts and the Seig Heil/Swatzikas.

Per this poll, there is hope after all that our brothers ands Sister out there see the Pics and Wake up from the slumber induced by the Pub Hypnotism...AKA Pub Psyops.

The Misled Sheep need to see the Best Path towards the Best Picture. The Pubs Picture thus Far Sucks big time. Kerrys Picture is Far More Promising.

[Hubert Flottz]

15. Gawd ain't Bush's Co-Pilot that's for sure!

The shoe of righteousness might just be on the other guy's foot in this little dance of death in Iraq! The Bushites forgot one of the basic laws laid down by the old tried and true rules of conduct in the good-book that stated: "Don't Start Any Shei'ite and There Won't Be Any Shei'ite!" Now Gawd is lookin' for some pay back from the ones who use his name to kill and steal!

[opihimoimoi]

16. Bushies shoes all have TGIF on the tips....."Toes Go In First"

And he starts Shei-ite all the time. Now he reaped a Shit pile so big it threatens the shoulders, Bwahahgahahaha

[Hubert Flottz]

18. Shrub is in a world of Shei'ite!

Without a paddle or a vector!

[billyskank]

10. I have no idea

but I think I know what Free Republic would say.

[SarahB]

12. overall- wimps

(Exceptions of course.) Too lazy to learn. To lazy to be responsible. Instant gratification culture. Just spoon feed us McDonalds and American Idol and all will be well.

[opihimoimoi]

13. Reality sez what is so evident....we are Wimps by a small margin.

Can this be reversed just a little???

[Jim Warren]

14. Trained wimps

There exists a trance, I call it The Trance of Everyday Life.

Humans are magical beings, but to perceive this one must first receive a clue, a glimpse of the enduring rightness and awesome mystery of the world outside the trance.

We are trained from birth not to seek outside the trance, for after all, the trance is good for bidness.

The very most cynical fact is: the Power Elite are acutely aware of this as well.

[opihimoimoi]

17. The Power Elite cashes in big time by leading the Sheep/Suckers

down the Path of Delusional Thinking. "Too Easy" they smirk on the way to the Swiss Banks.

[Jim Warren]

19. From Machiavelli to Malthus......

On through to Leo Strauss.

Those who make money with money deliberately keep it scarce.

Buckminster Fuller once said: The populations of Earth are all billionaires who are entirely unaware of their good fortune.
Unbeknownst to them their legacy is being held in probate by ignorance, fear, selfishness and a myriad of paralyzing laws bureaucratically maintained by the incumbent power structures.

[opihimoimoi]

20. So Damn True. We ALL could be SOOOOO RICH....

Not so much with wealth$$$ but with richness of LIFE in GENERAL.

[Jim Warren]

22. Again

Fuller: Money is not wealth. Wealth is the accomplished ability to protect, nurture, support and accommodate all growthful needs of life. Money is only an expediency, an adopted means of interexchanging real wealth.

[opihimoimoi]

24. I follow your thoughts, so true....

[MAlibdem]

21. Without hope, you cannot succeed.

I am deeply disappointed that more people here are pessimistic (at least at the moment in the poll).

[Karenina]

23. YOU,

(present company, who continue to do their individual BEST to STOP this FUBAR "Christian Reconstructinist" destruction, excluded) have CLEARLY shown yourselves for who you truly are. Spare me the pictures and the excuses. :puke: VOMIT! :puke: Fraternity "pranks," indeed.

The CLEAR, TECHNICOLOR, PANAVISION IMAGE you broadcast and others must UNCENSOR, says all. Paraphrasing Maya Angelou, 'When someone tells you who they really are, BELIEVE HIM THE FIRST TIME.'

[TheWizardOfMudd]

25. Judging by the prison torture scandal

A bunch of cowardly, wimp pricks.

[FDRrocks]

26. Wussies

It takes alot more courage to be act diplomatically, rather than what we seem to prefer here.
