where in the FUCK were these people when we were flushing billions down the Iraq toilet and paying contractors out the ass for the privilege of getting soldiers killed to act as their bodyguards while they plundered us?

Billions for war: OK

Billions for trying to keep THE ENTIRE WORLD ECONOMY FROM COLLAPSING: Spontaneous protests

And whatever happened to the whole “love it or leave it” Republican mantra? Does that only apply when they’re in charge?

GASP

That’s like if there was an economic boom, jobs shooting through the roof, and a reporter visits a Berkley protest made up entirely of college kids protesting how we’re all slaves of consumerism. The reporter then declares “Maybe this grass roots movement is taking off after all!”

But that would be stupid, because in both cases it’s just that particular group protesting what they always protest. It means nothing, and it changes nothing. It’s also worthless because all protests by old people and college kids are worthless (take time off from work to work a cause like protesting the war or Obama’s campaign and then I’ll be impressed about their resolve).

Not to say the Santa Monica article impressed me. NO KIDDING they had to truck in staffers and crazy to protest Obama in Santa Monica.

I want to see a dissection of one of these protests in a battleground state, attended by fence sitters and moderates.

Then again, shareholders have already lost their shirts and depositors have FDIC to fall back on. Credit’s tightened up, but once the current theives/incompetents are out of the way surely someone else can step in to satisfy demand (you know, free markets and all that)? Especially with the Fed being intent on giving away lots of free money. I say let ‘em fail.

Too bad the asshats in Washington immediately started flushing money last fall when they could no longer deny there was a problem. When they discovered they might not be able to climb out of the hole they began digging all the more furiously.

uhh … something HAS gone terribly wrong.

Odd.

Not odd when you consider that the new writer’s name is Yasha Levine. Oy vey, Levine, mustn’t leave any side of any issue to the goyim, eh? If they go Tea Partying, then the Chosenites must be the ones giving the right slant to the story, to separate the acceptable from the unacceptable. “Anti-immigration? Racists! Nuts! Only Israel is allowed to have an ethnic – I mean religious – identity!”

But there I go being a racist nut again. How evil of me.

How about video taping an example commute to LA?

BTW, the ex military types might be there because Victorville was once, and might still be, an Air Force boondogle.

The eXiled makes a habit of talking about the cheapest artifices of the class war — the racism, the greed, the stagnant and primitive aesthetically-based attempts at caste systems. Ugly times.

But then the power plant and race came out again. “Do we want our power plant to be sold of to the commie Chinese?” asked the crowd leader. “No!” shouted the crowd.”

“Two years ago, she opposed the acquisition of a local bank by East West Bank, which was a publicly traded company with Chinese roots. After one of the bank executives came on the show to explain the merger, she called on Victorville’s patriots to rush the bank and “suck your money out” of it, adding that her guest (who’s last name was Ng) was an evil foreigner out to rob decent desert folk.”

^ Is the Exiled taking a PRO-globalization position here?

Odd.

Did you observe any tool-making behavior?

after getting the word in my mail box, this morning, it all made a lot of damned sense. but the size of this thing is sort of weird … also they are bringing up relevant, populist points … unlike their teabagging “welfare queen” counterparts, up up in the stratosphere

that damned obama guy needs to get his shit together. i’m already feelin’ the heat of old-person stank.
