What do the anti-democracy thugs want? |
|
Edited on Fri Aug-07-09 07:32 PM by tridim
Besides a white President of course.. Obama was legally elected, he's our President. Period.
Do they want crappy health care like they have now? I don't think so, because nobody does.
What could they possible want? I've been trying to come up with an answer for the past hour, and I just can't come up with anything.
Maybe we should start asking that question over and over until we get an answer.

They won't say. They have no alternative plan, no suggestions on how to do anything better, all they have is obstruction.
Desperation smells bad on them.

3. They want Bush back. They want the Republican Congress back. |
|
They want to erase everything that came after 2006 when the Democrats won back both houses of Congress and the White House in 2008.

So, what do they really want?

11. They want power. That's why I mentioned it the way I did. |
|
Back then, they could've had it all. Had there been another terrorist attack, Bush could've easily rammed through even more authoritarian legislation. Hell, he could conceivably have gone all the way if the country was scared enough and still in shock from a second attack. Then, everything that they disagree with could be silenced permanently.

6. What any sports fan wants: their team to win. |
|
And, just like after their team wins the Super Bowl, they have no share of the reward.

23. Ever since the Red Sox in 2004, every team still believes they have a chance. |
|
No matter the score, no matter the odds.

9. They want white privilege. |
|
They want control which allows them better jobs, better healthcare, better everything. We are at the beginnings of a new better America and they can't stomach it.
Nobody said this was going to be painless.

13. From what I'm seeing they don't want any of that. |
|
Quite the opposite. They want the status quo.
I'm thinking they want US to agree with them. Which also, will never happen.

16. Well yes, but how are their tantrums helping that cause? |

It has to be something else.

19. OK: Corporate fascists have been running progressively damaging programs with a segment of society. |
|
Decades of hate radio, less and less real information in the news, lowering the quality of education, narrowing opportunity for any real personal economic growth potential for the bulk of the working class/middle class (workers have been losing real wages since the 60s) have beaten down a chunk of the citizens.
To stay on top, the 1% has to keep us fighting each other instead of noticing where the real root of all our problems come from. Easy to feed the fear and willful ignorance of the part of the population which will always look to scape goat 'the other'.
Again, hate radio, less and less real information in the news, lowering quality of (and now, because of economic woes, ACCESS TO) education, shrinking economics, yada yada....
The disrupters are just the cattle the top tier greedy tyrants stampede. The disrupters get nothing but high blood pressure from their addiction to anger.
The status quo profiteers get more and more money/control.

21. I'd agree if their numbers were somewhere north of a few thousand. |
|
If that's really what they want, it isn't going to happen.
And again, why don't they just say it? It would save a lot of time.

25. Their goal in life has one purpose... |
|
To oppose whatever has the liberal label attached to it (even if they, their children, their country would benefit from it).
I was listening to a local radio show the other day that sums up the RW mindset pretty well... The topic was a local issue. One of the first callers asked the host, "How do the liberals feel about it?" The host responded, "Most of them are for it." The caller then confidently declared, "Well, I'm totally against it then!" LOL!
Some RWers are really this stupid. They can't think for themselves anymore. They have to be told by Rush or someone like him what to believe/think. The political football game of Left Vs Right is more important to these morons than what is in their own best interest. Pathetic but true.
