1. Freedom works for the rich and powerful

Why are some Americans blinded to these facts?

5. They think they care

But they're ignorant, or maybe just stupid, not easy to tell the difference.

3. Thing is you know ...

... that in private Dick Armey is laughing his head off at the rubes who show up for his Teabag Party rallies.

To the "20 million" that showed up last week: "What a bunch of suckers!"

7. Good job, Bill Moyers

Now: How can we get every living adult American to spend 9 minutes watching this?

I'm talking fantasy here, I know, but that short video should be required viewing in every high school homeroom in the country.

God forbid we should actually educate our next generation of voters. *sarcasm*

8. I agree

If only this video would take off like Susan Boyles' video did, but then I'm fantasizing too.

9. Freedom Fools just won't give up, can't they?

They don't give a damn about NOBODY or NOTHING unless you have the money and power! But, one of these days, they are going to be broke and powerless.

10. This just makes me heartsick.

Who would have guessed that this is how America would end? Torn apart by its least informed, least intelligent citizens. The stupid attacking the smart. It's a damn shame.

11. K&R. Great spotlight on Dick Armey's great cruelty.

Fighting so intensely against the general public getting the health care he's enjoyed his whole life.

12. K&R Apparently this is web only and not being broadcast :(

Bummer, it really needs to be aired. Here's the PBS link where you can address your comments to Bill himself: http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/blog/2009/09/bill_moyers_on_taxpayer_tea_pa.html

20. People like this, Armey, the Bushes, Rolls Royce Republicans remind me of my favorite Gatsby quote:

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money of their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

The Great Gatsby

Chapter 9, Nick on the Buchanans.

21. I definitely have a strong dislike for these people

Edited on Sun Sep-20-09 12:58 AM by LatteLibertine

I am disappointed that poor and middle class people are so easily divided by them. A good example is by creating racial discord.

CEO pay has increased at least on the order of 300-400 percent. In addition, the most wealthy 10% of our nation holds 70% of our wealth.

I am sure that's no accident and much of it is the result of corporatism not capitalism.
