I will not defend them

You see them at the supermarket aggressively pushing their shopping carts around, and you get this feeling that if you do not move fast enough they might just run into you. You detect an undercurrent of suppressed rage, hostility, and detachment as if they are on some other planet.
You feel the same thing when you are driving down the road, and you see them driving with one hand on the wheel, the other hand holding up a cell phone to their ear, wheeling their SUVs around just as aggressively and at the
same time detached, like those people in the supermarket pushing their shopping carts around.
No-one smiles any more. No-one wants to talk about things that matter. If you want to discuss anything other than sports, sex, or Dancing with the Stars, no-one seems interested.
What is happening? Is it something in the water, or is Invasion of the Body Snatchers actually happening for real?
I do not remember people being like this. They are hostile, impatient, full of suppressed anger, abrupt, suspicious, and some even threatening.
Not so many years ago, you couldn't walk down the street without running into your friends and neighbors wanting to talk about anything and everything, and have a good laugh. People, I remember, used to communicate -- now they just glare at you, or completely ignore you.
No-one wants to complain about anything. No-one seems to be bothered by high taxes or inflation. They just look at you and roll their eyes like you are crazy if you dare to express your dissatisfaction with the status quo. And God forbid, do not mention the wars, that topic really gets people uncomfortable. It is as if you are asking some personal question.
Have our fellow human beings, our friends and neighbors, become overwhelmed by the course of events these last six years, so they're burying their heads in the sand? Or have they become closet fascists, who privately support the dictatorship in Washington? Are they over-medicated with prescription drugs, or are they getting off on the horrors which the "Decider" and his handlers are inflicting on humanity?
Are these the same people whose answer to every problem, real or imagined, is "Bomb Them!? No wonder the Bush Cabal and the rubber stamp Congress have no problem disposing of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I will not defend them. I will not try to enlighten them any more.
All these vegetables think about is their new shiny cars, the ridiculous clothing they buy, the garbage that passes as entertainment, and the anti-depressant drugs which helps them avoid reality. They do not want to admit to themselves that America is in trouble ... After all, that's not supposed to happen here, we are told.
Well, folks, like the Germans and their victims deciding to ignore things, who had to learn the hard way some sixty years ago, it ain't going to be any different this time around.

What Really Happened
by Leon Fisher
The news of last weeks plummeting stock market brought on by the housing bubble debacle, saved only by the infusion of billions of dollars by the Fed, should not be received with fear and trepidation by the working man but with a sense of hope that soon the whole rotten economic scam which is presided over by white collar criminals and their bought and sold lackeys in Washington is hopefully coming to an end. The working man and woman is being ripped off by local, state,federal, and sales tax, as well as legalized usury in the form of high interest credit cards, bank loans, auto, health insurance premiums, surcharges, and a host of other fines, tolls, charges, penalties, along with inflation and stagnant pay, leaving the average working man in hock up to his eyeballs.This situation will become worse as the other economic dominos begin to fall. Those we trusted in business and government have conspired against their fellow citizens ruining a once vibrant and healthy economy, putting into peril all working Americans. With the implementation of Free Trade millions of Americans have lost good jobs and many are living just above the poverty level. This situation exists not only in America but in every nation which has signed on to this monumental scheme to defraud the working man worldwide. The consequences of so called Free Trade is the same wherever it rears its ugly head, the majority of wealth controlled by the few, and the driving down of wages for the many. However, this looting of the marketplace cannot continue forever as the recent crash of the housing market illustrates.The criminal corporations, banks, and government's complicity with this economic rip off is killing the goose that laid the golden egg. With the fed coming to the aid of the Wall St. loansharks making good their losses, we are reminded of the savings and loan scandal of the 1980's where the average citizen was forced to bail out the crooks.The S&L's should have been treated like the criminal enterprises they were and allowed to fail with all the those responsible for their collapse, including Neil Bush, the Presidents brother, prosecuted for their complicity in the matter.
It should be clear to us that both Wall St. and the Federal Government do not have the interests of the American people in mind, therefore further participation in this failing economic disaster will only prolong the agony of us all. Take your money out, pay the penalty, do not contribute to those who are planning your economic ruin. Let it crash, and the sooner the better.
What a sight it will be to see the economic rats leaving the sinking ship with their carpet bags filled with stolen loot in hand, scurrying off to their villas in Dubai with Dick Cheney in the lead.
