People come and go-the DEMOCRCY is being heckled!. These people are msiusing the powers given to them by DEMOCRACY, making one to feel that the term for the people by the people and of the people is meaningless. The solution to this is-<br />Be cynical a bit and be awake. And punish the culprit. President obama did not do this when he ignored to punish the BUNCH. The voters gave respect to the party whose leader undermined their selection by saying "he would make sure that this president a one time president". According to me-the he should have been punished for using that language in the peoples' house-period.<br />Two things I never understand:<br />1 What happened to the people who hated civil rights, the next day the act was passed-did they evoparate? <br />2. Still there is around 50% of the people who support the party that says economic seggregations is the way of life. <br /><br />CHANGE is necessary-OBAMA failed to bring it-because- we did not want to change!!!

He said they want a President that knows how to sign their name and the congress will do the rest.<br /><br />Most of us know the republican congress is a wholly owned subsidiarity of the Koch Bros.<br /><br />The president will take orders from the congress and the congress will take orders from the Koch Bros.<br /><br />Everything is pointing to this. This is not a joke.<br /><br />We have some of the most stupid electorate on this country.<br /><br />Right wing radio keeps them in line and keeps tossing the red meat to keep their mind twisted.<br /><br />So much is happening so fast, as if to make things happen faster than the public can be educated.<br /><br />Destroy the jobs and people will be so preoccupied with survival they won'r have time or the money to do much paying attention to what the neocons are up to.<br /><br />This has been going on since the 80's with the election of Ronald Reagan.<br /><br />Each decade has gotten worse and the disinformation broadcast over talk radio is more and more outrageous.<br /><br />2012 Dec 22 is not far off. Will this be the time of the civil war?<br /><br />Something is going to give, but all of the power is in the hands of the rich.<br /><br />I understand large yacht orders are on the rise as an escape for the rich when American Armageddon hits.<br /><br />It will be the only place they can go to escape the wrath of the people.<br /><br />Look what's being done to stop the liberal vote. These people know they do not have the public on their side<br />and they are scared.

That presumption is false. We have seen this in the real world for the last three years. This is extremely dangerous, and I pray it will stop before the country is brought to ruin. It's a complete mystery to me how this all came about, but there it is. We have a completely polarized electorate where each side believes they have the high ground. In fact neither does. A few very bad men, acting behind the scenes, are manipulating thought to their point of view, and our citizens cannot see it to save their souls. Men like Norquist, and the Koch brothers, and others are spending billions to this end, and they know they will get all their money back and then some. Folks, we better awaken because we have been asleep too long. Use your common sense and stop following these people to your doom. If you're not sure, err on the side of "throw out the bums" and start from scratch. Trust no one, unless you have crunched the facts and numbers yourself. Look for the lies hidden in the simple solutions that some profess is the absolute truth. Remember when things in this country were "right"? Go back to that default position, and don't buy into this crap about a new reality in our capitalistic society that favors the wealthy...that they will take care of us if they are given the wealth to do so. It just isn't "right" and is not part of any American Dream I know.
