Political - likely to offend - don't read if easily offended. I put it here so many would NOT read it. But it helps to vent..
You don't have a f*cking clue if....
1) You believe this is either Democrat's or Republican's fault.
2) You chose your president based on perceived moral values - fiscal conservatism (for everyone's sake not just the rich) is a f*cking value. Screw the middle class praise jesus. We could have done so many better things with our wealth and power vs the bogus war on terror. It's not Christian, it's not smart.....it's NOT FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE. Do the math a 2 trillion+ war on terror versus 200 bil in damages???? How is that remotely smart. Of course it could have been easily prevented if we simply profiled and had airport security similar to Isreal and other nations? And of course airport security is barely better.
3) You don't have a f*cking clue if you still support Bush (25% still I believe, scary)
4) You don't have a clue if you get your news from TV - no matter what station - unless maybe BBC or something NON-American.
5) You don't have a clue if you took on too much debt, but still think this crisis is someone else's fault. If you're about to be evicted you're the problem.
6) You don't have a clue if you think you can ban short selling and nationalize private industry and help the real economy.
7) You don't have a clue if you think the Republican party is conservative. It's become the party of Jesus, deregulation (during good times) socialization during the bad, and tax cuts. Not sure how those are conservative values.
8) You don't have a clue if you think electing Democrats will fix this mess or send a message. They don't care. The ultimate power brokers give money to both sides.
9) You don't have a clue if you think Palin can make a difference.
10) If you think we're "winning" the war on terror
11) If you think we'll find a substitute for oil in the next 20-30 years
12) If you think the environment is just fine (not just talking global warming here, oceans, ecosystems, poison in water, soil, species diversification)
13) You don't have a clue if you think America is #1
14) You don't have a f*cking clue if you think we can fight two wars at the same time, bail out FNM/FRE/AIG/C, etc, reduce taxes and increase social programs at the same time.
I could go on. I'm actually in a good mood overall, but pissed at what's happening to this country. We need 1 term congress people where 1/4 of congress gets reelected every year. 1 term and done. The presidency should be 3 people where you can serve up to 8 years, but votes are decided on a simple majority. Never again can we put the fate of our country in the hands of just 1 idiot (keep in mind McCain graduated very, very low in his class). Are we really going to make the same mistake again? I really am not crazy about Barrack here, but I think like Clinton he's smart. The Republicans/congress and Bush have handed him such a bad hand that his big government programs will be handicapped.
At this point please Jesus give me Ron Paul for Pres, but if not I'll settle for someone who's actually intelligent. This rant is not for Obama, but rather for some rational thought whether it be in our political system, our financial markets, and yes even our churches.
I'm not middle class, but we need to fight for them. Without the middle class America is f*cked. All politics is ultimately money. We need to educate people on the financial system from an early age if we want that same middle class to make intelligent political decisions. What do we teach in high school about investments, money, fiat, deficits, inflation, deflation, ect? Next to nothing. It's certainly not required. Those in power don't mind, but we're screwing ourselves long term. Of course if we can barely read as a nation maybe there's no hope.
Anyone want to add to the list? Bet my ignores go up. Your problem not mine. |
