Have hope: America is a self-correcting system!

Ok, Bush has taken the country down the toilet faster and more severely than any of us could have feared. But consider recent events:
-Fitzgerald investigations
-Murtha speech
-recent polls
-Abramoff & related investigations
-GAO reports
-aftermath of Katrina and Rita
etc, etc

Nixon besmirched the country, but he was forced to resign...
Reagan/Bush gave way to Clinton...
The * administration will go down in flames as well (and be judged much worse than the former two scandal-ridden Republican regimes)

America is far, far from perfect... but we have the capacity to correct our mistakes.

TAKE HOPE!!!

says that humanity always throws off oppression. It may take time, but history shows that people only put up with being screwed for so long.

I'd rather it not take so long, but i can see the tide is already turning.

It isn't over til the fat lady sings and I've got my mouth zipped shut.

if we could be sure that our votes counted.

and we "may" be able to correct that, but you won't be able to erase shrub's warcrimes, and the people who have witnessed them will never forget them. Strap yourself it, we're in for a bumpy ride.

for the most part is still outstanding. Tom Toles just did a political cartoon to that effect - in it a fat cat hands over a huge sack labelled DEFICIT to a woman labelled 'the poor'.

magical thinking. The Constitution does not insure that Democracy will always prevail. The Republic requires sacrifice and courage from each citizen.At this time in our history a good many are hypnotized by corporate materialism and seek entertainment instead of knowledge.

We've gotten rid of these bastards before, we will again. :7

:thumbsup:

Never Give Up.

The correction is likely to be a very risky. We're going to have to make fixes at all levels of the system. For christ sakes, the Constitution is nearly in rubble because of this insane rabble in power.

I truly believe that they are insane. We're going to have to deal with that, too. Because they have led a good chunk of the country to a similar insanity.

I am very hopeful, but cautiously so.

They used to be somewhat less credulous.

What was it like to live under the Harding Administration?

:rofl:

NGU.

He was the first Bush like President, of course, but benefited from dying in office. (I never thought I'd say this about any President, but George makes Warren look like a great man.) I'll never forget when we heard on our new crystal radios about his death. Believe it or not, most of the country was devasted. I took it well though, since I saw right through him.

Ole silent Cal, wasn't a bad man to speak of, but of course there wasn't all that much speaking done. To be perfectly honest, we lived through all a good six years of that man, and I still don't know a damn thing 'bout what was on that man's mind.

It was very different when McKinley got shot, I'll tell you through. We were all very concerned about this guy Teddy Roosevelt. We thought he was too young for the job and that he was a little bit crazy.

Now young 'un, what the hell does NGU mean?
