"The responsibility of government for the public safety is absolute . . .

and requires no mandate. It is in fact, the prime object for which governments come into existence."
Winston Churchill . . . as quoted by Keith Olbermann tonight

1. I hate to say it but people are fed up and pissed with the democrats....

They are so fed up they won't ever trust politicians again, unless someone with some damn backbone comes out against Big Oil and files articles of impeachment. I'm serious, that's how bad it is.:grr:

Today I saw something in the streets that was sick.....A bunch of freeper kids were calling people out, people walking around the street with groceries and they were calling them looters!!!! OMFG...

And they pointed at them and the "people" yelled back and said "FUCK YOU, GET BUSH THE HELL OUT OF MY COUNTRY!!!!" and the freepr kids shut up and then said....."I hate this shit barn...."

WTF HAPPENED HERE? GET RID OF THESE ASSHOLES, RESIGNATIONS FOR ALL OF THEM!!!!

:crazy:

2. Churchill is right

If that's not an objective of government, then what would be the point in having one.

5. Government is there for the betterment of the people, nothing more.

If we veer even the slightest off this track, it should be time for a change. Unfortunately, it's been able to degenerate this far...
