I am sick to death of it

The rest of the world pretty much know the thrust of our works, but surely must ponder the sanity of the people who, in awe and reverence, have eaten up the voodoo economics served up by the gipper, his slavish followers, and a goodly portion of the population.

I can't wait for the chorus of "You're blowing things out of proportion!" or "You're free to leave!"

I wish I could get this in widescreen! I've got Dolby theater mode on and some thumpin speaker just waitin.

Andorra
[Chorus after each verse:]
I want to go to Andorra, Andorra, Andorra,
I want to go to Andorra, it's a place that I adore,
They spent four dollars and ninety cents
On armaments and their defense,
Did you ever hear of such confidence?
Andorra, hip hurrah!

In the mountains of the Pyrenees
There's an independent state,
Its population five thousand souls,
And I think they're simply great.
One hundred and seventy square miles big
And it's awfully dear to me.
Spends less than five dollars on armaments,
And this I've got to see.

It's governed by a council,
All gentle souls and wise,
They've only five dollars for armaments
And the rest for cakes and pies.
They didn't invest in a tommy gun
Or a plane to sweep the sky,
But they bought some blanks for their cap pistols
To shoot on their Fourth of July.

They live by the arts of farm and field
And by making shoes and hats,
And they haven't got room in their tiny land
For a horde of diplomats;
They haven't got room in their tiny land
For armies to march about,
And if anyone comes with a war budget
They throw the rascals out.

I wandered clown by the Pentagon
This newspaper clipping in hand
I said, "I want to see everyone
In McNamara's band."
I said, "Look what they did in Andorra,
They put us all to shame.
The least is first, the biggest is last,
Let's get there just the same."

The general said, "My dear boy,
You just don't understand.
We need these things to feel secure
In our great and wealthy land."
I said, "If security's what you need
I'll buy a couch for you,
A headshrinker is cheaper and quicker
And a damn site safer too."

For me & mr. pete these days...

Our priority has been family, friends, co-workers and their families
and bonds with others who are interested in creating a better world at the local level
Hard work, sometimes boring even
but healthier than most "Nationalistic" preferences (mho)
and way more rewarding for us.

How about 'America, fix it if you love it'? For a change.

Bumper stick material. Good one!

First you have to accept that it's broken, instead of making excuses. The easiest way to figure this out is to compare America today to America 20 or 30 years ago. Any honest evaluation should conclude that this is a country in decline. If we built it better before we should be able to fix it so it's better now.

actually working on weaknesses instead of denying them and telling people to leave
what a strange concept :-p


as posted below, ...bumper sticker material!
wish there were 'likes'

"America--Love it or Change it!"

Not perfect but the regular folk had some protections, including a good Supreme Court.

The MIC welcomes this new order.

Let's increase our military spending ten fold.

To Canada- emigrated 11 months ago. relieved that my tax dollars no longer fund evil

In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.
The Evildoers have been crushed, and I'm sure gasoline will be back to $1/gallon soon.

Now go fly and enjoy America's great destination spots.
Get down to Disney World in Florida.
Take your families and enjoy life,
the way we want it to be enjoyed - spend lots of money.

That was ten years ago...

and rebuilt Europe with the Marshall Plan. Now the world needs to be saved from America and the multinational corporations and banks she's spawned.

Can you even imagine this idiotic Congress rising to greatness with something like the Marshall Plan? I'll bet half of them have no clue what it was.
