"The biggest threat to America right now is not government spending, huge deficits, foreign ownership of our debt, world terrorism, two wars, potential epidemics or nuts with nukes. The biggest long-term threat is that people are becoming and have become disheartened, that this condition is reaching critical mass, and that it afflicts most broadly and deeply those members of the American leadership class who are not in Washington, most especially those in business."

"We are governed at all levels by America's luckiest children, sons and daughters of the abundance, and they call themselves optimists but they're not optimists—they're unimaginative."
I deliberately left out the punch line. read the article. -

Excellent contribution to the discussion. Perhaps you can post some more hilarious political satire. I'll be on pins and needles until then.

Good piece. I'm sure when this government has completely fucked everything up, D'Zoner will be more than happy to blame it on "8 years of Bu$hco" and "8 years of Ronnie Ray-gun" and "5 years of Tricky Dick Nixon" and so forth going back down to, oh, let's say....Abe Lincoln...... -

doesn't matter. once the giblet runs with his set of preconceived notions, dislodging a fallacy is like trying to pull a piece of raw meat from the jaws of a pitbull.

whatever. the article applies to both parties. it simply points out the fact that the citizenry has no faith in their elected officials. I don't understand how this qualifies as "weasel vomit."

Interesting point of view. I never really thought of it that way. Thank you so much for your contribution, and I'm sorry to see you go. Maybe Ron will let you back into !POLITICS! tribe and you guys can go back to sucking each other's cocks and occasionally bickering over which one of you is the most liberal (and therefore the most just and good).

he bolted for some reason. whatever.
he was treated unfairly in the *politics* tribe. and I make it a policy not to screw with people when they can't answer for themselves. if he wants back in, there's an open offer for him to gain admission.

Tue, November 3, 2009 - 3:01 PMI really don't feel like looking up the clip right now, the sight of Obama makes me ill, but he did slip once and say "rule" instead of "govern." Love that Freudian stuff.
