Good for you for asking what people are talking about when they spout emotional phrases that don't actually say anything. <br /><br />We all know from experience that many people who live here are kind, generous and helpful to their neighbors - so what gets into people that makes it seem like a good idea to be mean sprinted and stingy - then top it off by exporting a neo-con idea of 'freedom' around the world? I think many have never quit being Calvinists here; they live by the notion that the good guys are the prosperous guys, so the poor have it coming if they fall into a hole. Meanwhile the little islands of "goodness/prosperity" they inhabit are being sluiced away by big waves of greed and corporate privilege. IMHO!<br /><br />Your questions are important. We need to force those Republicans to say what they actually mean and how they plan to do it and who will benefit.

I can only assume there is a strong desire to believe and see things a certain way. There is so much fear and in the atmosphere of fear people turn their brains off. People on all sides-- -must demand truth telling. Just as we allow injustice, the fact that no one is being held accountable for the war or discussing it shows we have lost our way.<br /><br />S.

The right wing has repeatedly lied to their constituents who lemming-like buy their crap. The working class should not have to take any hits because of Republican mismanagement in the last 30 years. Instead, tax those fat cats responsible for this mess!<br />howedesign 2 hours agohowedesign via Youtubehttp://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments=1&v=rjbPAxPridQ&email=comment_receivednoreply@blogger.com
