1) we elected and reelected Richard Nixon
2) we elected and reelected Ronald Reagan
3) we elected and reelected George Bush
4) Penn State students are
not demonstrating to stop a war,
to feed the poor,
to create jobs -
they are demonstrating to support a man
who shielded a child rapist and facilitated child rape.
I weep
I understand. Where is the compassion for the young boys, whose innocence was stolen? We will never know of all the damage done to these innocent human beings and their families Sports are fine in their place, but the Penn State obsession with sports is out of control. That entire university should focus on the value of human life and learn before they ever play another football game.
ultimately, we need to be more careful about who and what we worship.
You are spent (a little like trash). Israel via Aipac has run out of use for you, as you get older or maimed for their wars.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. July 4, 1776.
cry that river.cry cry cry.........We also reelected bill clinton
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Wow, have you thought about immigrating to more congenial climes? I really don't know how you can bear these indignities and remain in this shithole of a country.
I 'm starting to believe that the thousands of untested and unregulated chemicals were dumping into the air, seas, & land and ultimately into our bodies has been changing us all into something very strange.
yup
I am your age and completely agree. I feel sorry for our youth for what the combined generations have straddled them with but I also am amazed at the mediocrity of this generation and their focus on Kardashians. I weep. I also pray for my kids and everyone's future. So much suffering.
Thank you. Americans are sickening. They need to hear what they really are.
Raising the age to collect social security

Diane Swonk claims to be an economist who just said, "I work hard and I don't mind having to work 2 more years to collect social security." That was in response to a caller on C-span who said she was 48 and she opposes raising the age.
While I'm sitting here at age 69 writing this blog post I don't claim that this is hard work sitting on my ass. If Diane Swonk drove an 18 wheeler and had to pull the pin to release the trailer every day or did some meaningful work making products, cooking food, repairing things, or building things Diane would grasp that increasing the age to remedy social security will be impossible for many workers.
Diane Swonk is another clueless economist who never saw the mortgage bubble and doesn't know what she's talking about on any subject. When she claims to being a hard worker, even if that was true, she's never accomplished anything. The economists designed the slave trade called "globalization" that has destroyed America for 50,000,000 workers who earned money by working. Its the economists who refuse to admit the mistake of advising the government to use policies that have destroyed the economy.

Steve you have admitted that you are a convicted felon who spent 9 years in prison for extortion. Why are you looking for your next prey here?
