I think You who laugh at American’s expense should take a good look at who Americans are. they are all of us in the world who look for freedom and who fight others war while trying to preserve our own values. It is each individual who makes their own choice either to be honest or corrupt. In the whole of the matter, If you are not fighting for freedom, than you are one who sits on the sidelines not willing to do anything, than you are no greater person for being the pig that you are. Jim Morrison’s “they got the guns, but we got the numbers” says it all. It takes people like us who are in the population where ever we reside to stand up for what we believe in and fight for it. It won’t happen over night but it has a greater possibility for happening if we stand united. And I believe this possibility is what our forefathers wanted most who established America, people who stood by each other to stand the test of time, not allowing corporations, or fashist pricks to take what we the people united for in the first place. All this that is happening is because we have all sold out to being pigs!!

@tailpipe

Though I suspect your not being sincere, I’ll play along. Ames’ argument is not hard to follow, if you have been reading him. If you have and you still don’t get it, you might consider dissonance or Stockholm Syndrome.

Failing the above you might try “A Short Introduction to Noam Chomsky.” by Rush Limbaugh.

“Maybe she and her other Garden Club gals could organize an armed coup and lay waste to the oligarchs once and for all. Maybe then Ames would be happy.”

Uhh… Duh?

Ames’ article missed a very critical point about Bank of America and Mozilo. When B of A acquired Countrywide, they assumed all legal liabilities of the company. This is simple contract law that is part of any acquisition. And they acquired Countrywide before they received any TARP money…long before. But even if this happened after they received the bailout money, they still would be liable for his legal fees. When you buy a company, you get the whole enchilada. If one of the Execs in that company has a legal issue, it then becomes your legal issue.

And Ames blames common Americans for Mozilo having his legal fees paid for by a bank getting bailout money? How would the average American do anything to change this? Is a housewife in Iowa is a bumbling fool because she allowed this to happen? What’s she supposed to do, write more letters to her House or Senate representative? Maybe she and her other Garden Club gals could organize an armed coup and lay waste to the oligarchs once and for all. Maybe then Ames would be happy.

aleke, you were the one who asked me to spread wide so you could have your turn. It seems you are confused, and apparently very sexually frustrated. By the way, I’m a straight male, so I’m not really your type. But I do support your right to be the proud gay man that you obviously are. Maybe Exiled could start a dating section and you could be the first profile in the “man seeking a man” section.

God forbid we call people idiots!

Maybe Ames doesn’t care about them. Maybe he’s gratifying his sociopathy by laughing at their delusions. Maybe that’s the most intellectually radical, progressive and effective move, for analyzers of the world. Most morons are beholden to an idiotic moral subconscious that prevents articulation of such sentiments. We have to be “constructive!” after all.

Fodder, when Ames makes a blanket statement that all 300 million Americans are idiots, why would I, an idiot myself, try grasping his point? My statement is far more idiotic than any American he is referring to.

And you say since I haven’t read Ames’ book, I simply can’t understand the point he’s trying to make. I’m ignorant, so what. I like it that way.

I understand Ames has issues with the American people, and the government. And of course I want Ames and anyone else to freely express their criticisms. Well actually I don’t, but I just like saying that because it makes me sound very moral and upstanding. Actually, I like to suck my cat’s ass every now and then.
