Why Americans will do nothing- For BigBearJohn

BBJ, this one's for you!

In reply to your question-
"Do you think the time will ever come when Americans get fed up enough to actually DO something?"

I think sometimes, we on DU fail to realize we are but a fractional
minority in this country. We have each other in this cyber-cocoon,
We spend hours together in "like mind set."
An oasis to be sure, but also removed from the reality
that of a divided citizenship.
I think that this video by Denis Leary conveys the
reality of so many people in this country that we forget,
most likely outnumber us. Remember this-
They like Rush and Bill and listen everyday.

Listen to the callers on Washington Journal (C-Span) in the morning
if you doubt me.
In the meantime, consider this about so many
of our brothers and sisters in America.

We forget here on DU, that they live among us-

ASSHOLES.

Full of jingoistic pride and nationalism.
A curious mixture of apathy and arrogance
fueled by a pathological sense of self-entitlement.

One of the more brilliant satirical commentaries
on our society in circulation, in my opinion.

I thought Leary came onto the scene later.
Although honestly, I don't know his timeline.
