The D-Day of our time? 11/7/00

Edited on Fri Aug-11-06 10:19 AM by LibraLiz1973
So I went to see WTC yesterday. I was in a theater with a bunch of people wearing 9/11 shirts etc. After the movie I heard a group of guys talking about how the movie really illustrated to them the difference in the world after 9/11. That one sentence led me to revisiting when I think America changed- and I realized that was BEFORE 9/11.


While many people over the last 5 years have said something along the lines of "You can look at the world in 2 ways- Pre 9/11 and Post 9/11) I have come to realize thats not quite true.


IMHO there was life BEFORE 11/7/2000 and life AFTER 11/7/2000. Since that day a chain of events has taken place that before hand would have seemed impossible. Let's review. (I'm sure I'll miss some)

1. Stolen Election- 2000
2. GWB Spent more time on vacation than any other President in History
3. Millions of Americans have fallen from the "Middle Class"
4. Deficit at an all time high
5. "President" and his cronies ignored Pre 9/11 intelligence
6. When told Nation was under attack, GWB did nothing
7. In retribution for 9/11 GWB attacked Iraq... who had done nothing
8. His environmental policies (or,non policies)are literally destroying the earth
9. Stole the 2004 election
10. Katrina Catastrophe
11. His administration outed a CIA agent
12. Nominated a woman with NO experience to the Supreme Court
13. Tax Cuts........for the reich- oops,I mean the rich
14. Gas prices at an all time high
15. Hatred of America at an all time high
16. Thousands of Americans dead in a war we DON'T BELONG IN


Since 11.7.00 America has become a boiling pot of rage. Everyone is SO angry. I'm one of the angry people!! It's fucking AMAZING to me (amazing and galling) that these bastards get to come out with one vitriolic spew after another where they say that Democrats are soft on Terrorism. DEMOCRATS? REALLY? The biggest terrorist attack on America didn't occur during a Democrats time in office. That honor goes to GWB. We will continue to live under a cloud of terror as long as he and his cronies are in charge. They will do nothing to stop anything else from happening- they LOVE this shit! It takes the bad press away from other issues.
It's SICKENING that GW is in power YET HE NEVER WON AN ELECTION!!!!!!!!!!! He's making decisions for our country, and ruining it in the process, without ever having won. He TOOK office- he was not appointed to it.


Yes, America has changed. Yes, it is not the safest place anymore. Yes, we are in big trouble. It is for all of those reasons that we need a Democrat, now more than ever, to get in there and start fixing this. The Republicans are in the process of destroying the fabric of our society. They are so evil they have convinced MILLIONS of people (Millions of MORONS.. that's right, I said it)that unless they remain in power, America is in jeopardy. Amazing! The very people that got us into this situation are the ones benefiting from it! Since 11/7 the nation has fallen back about 50 years... Bush is at the helm of the "Dumbing Down of America". I listen to some of the Repug talking points that come out of these peoples mouths and I want to puke. It's all bullshit, yet they recite it with such fervor.

Since 11/7 America has gone from having Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press to The Patriot Act- designed to keep you quiet OR ELSE. And the press? They drank the kool aid and haven't stopped misdirecting us since 11/7.

We're stuck with the dumbest President ever. I would not let him teach my children- and yet he is running our country.

Next time you see a bumper sticker that says "Remember 9/11" take a minute to also remember 11/7- for without 11/7, September 11 would probably not have happened.
