oh yeah…

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?

You mean a nowhere desert town made up mostly of old people got 1% of its population to show up at a rally supporting the same stances that old people traditionally embrace?

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.

If you really hate seeing your taxes wasted, then why not ask your rep to cut of all aid to that Jewish-welfare case, Israel. They spy on us, hurt our image and interests and kill civilians.
Well you Conservatives can’t do it can you. Why? holocaust guilt? media brainwashing? biblical prophesy.
If you aren’t willing to cut off aid to a foreign welfare case, then why are you complaining about welfare cases at home????

Gee, what might happen if the major US banks fail? Total collapse!? Gasp. You’re right, we better keep giving the banks a shitload of money.

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.

The article leaves some strange almost Fallout-like feeling. As if like something has gone terribly wrong.

It’s funny, nobody makes the distinction between different type taxes in USA. There is many taxes convinently called “fees” that everyone pays. My bill for my landline telephone was 30 dollars a month and half of that was various “fees” both federal and state. Same for my electric bill and water bill. Most people in USA don’t know they pay about 50+ cents per each gallon of gas they buy, half of that federal tax, half state. Should i even mention property taxes, sales taxes and all the other taxes?
SO when those fakers talk about taxes, which taxes do they mean exactly?
Sure, giving 13 trillion dollars to the banks is a high way robbery but has any of these idiots ever stop to think what might happen if the major US banks fail? Total collapse of the system might occur because the US government has allowed the banks to take over the “capitalist” economy. The “evil” Chinese who are currently supporting the USA by buying its Treasury bond will immediately dump the worthless dollar. I wanna see what those idiots will do in a situation like this. Like it or NOT but the “evil” Chinese are supporting your dollar right now so you better be nice to them. But they all prefer to live in a fantasy world
where the USA is number 1, Obama is the bad guy, and Iran/North Korea are building nuclear weapons with which to attack poor defenseless Israel and USA.

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

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.

Hey, Levine while you are in Victorville, why don’t you visit the prison? Some interesting dudes, see wikipedia. Actually I think there are two prisons, you can never have too many.

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.
