We've Been Had, to put it plainly

[MsMagnificent]

Kerry rolling over so soon couldn't be any clearer.

To even extend any energy over a subject is useless when the outcome is preordained by those on high.

What a joke!
What a farce!

And we were unwitting actors, nay comedians in their little play. What entertainment We, The People have provided for the enjoyment of the ultra-rich!

They can find SO many uses for us flesh-units!

Lets go now and run on the mouse-wheel so we can make a few greenbacks to spend on the worthless products of giant, soulless companies; so their stockholders and board members become even richer.
How's about this: Pollute our watershed, but that's OK because the ultra-rich can find ways to distill all this tainted water... the rest of us just get poisoned. Or better yet - sell it BACK to us!
It's the biggest Ponzi scheme in the world!

Have the talking heads rile about oh, let's say 51% of us against... hmmm 49% of the other because while we're bickering about little stuff, they can do some REALLY big stuff completely unnoticed! Or if noticed, said Talking Heads go to work and muddle us all up again, anyhow, until we've forgotten what we were arguing about in the first place.

And we're
All
Losers.

How much clearer do we need to get?
What more evidence do we need?
We. Are. Not. Free.

But, if it's any consolation, it's still The American Way!

Now lets go shoot some Iraqi's to liberate them!

1. ahhh, now that's the DU that I know and love....

No sarcasm intended. The angry DU. The DU of critical thinkers rather than the cheerleader DU. The DU that questions authority. Stick around, MsMagnificent. DU needs more voices like yours, as does the left in general. BRAVO!

2. *sigh*

Now lets go shoot some Iraqi's to liberate them!

Didn't you get the memo? Iraq is so last week it makes Osama look new. The enemy du jour is now Iran. I hear rumors that Syria isn't too far away though.


Seriously though, we need to get the money out of both the media and politics. I'm not quite sure how yet, but until we do we will never be free.

3. So true, and so desperately sad.

4. Don't buy anything you don't need.

...make a few greenbacks to spend on the worthless products...

Really. It will make you feel better.

[Suspicious]

5. You bet we have.

My only consolation, personally, is that I haven't believed the freedom lie for quite some time, now. It made last night's/today's dog-and-pony show a less bitter pill to swallow.

That's not to say I'm apathetic - not at all. I'm mad as hell, but not simply because we've led down the garden path - AGAIN. I'm much angrier about the people who still refuse to look this monster straight in the face and recognize it for what it is. Until we can do that as a whole - as a unit - we can not move forward.

People need to stop deluding themselves. Time is wasting. We are in deep trouble.
