Our glorious brave Teapotty Patriots need not worry about our Great White Nation. Our obscenely rich ruling class and their obedient wealth worshippers will stop at nothing to protect and extend their enormous power, wealth and God-given free-market program, from which all poverty and misery flows to the rest of us! Their blessed tax-gobbling, multi-trillion dollar war machine, and its 800-plus publicly funded military bases around the world will bravely continue its perpetual wars, invasions, bombings, droning, slaughters and tortures for all who dare to resist the largest war machine ever seen on this small vulnerable planet. Blessed are our holy war-makers for they shall inherit a ravaged, lifeless planet!
So courageous Teapotty Patriots – have no fear – sleep well and pray for our never-ending, war-profiteering Crusade!

Thanks for your comments AKG….. you highlight a phenomenon in the US that I have found impossible to explain – not the existence of the massive war machine to which you refer; a machine for which purposes must periodically be invented (the Iraq War being the latest and most obviously manufactured) if it is to justify the ridiculous amounts of tax money being spent on it… no, the conundrum to which I refer is the sickening brown-nosing doled out by the middle class and the poor to the very wealthy.
These two classes have been duped into thinking that work will make them wealthy (Arbeit Macht Reich: maybe that should be the new US motto) DESPITE the obvious fact that less than 5% of the population has gotten it’s greedy hands on over 90% of the nation’s wealth…. Sheesh, they must work AWFUL hard!!!!!
Folks of the Right Persuasion: go look up “Kleptocracy” and “Dupe”
A vote up for both of you! Sieg Heil!
We have to make those damnned rich people pay! What right to they have to accumulate wealth when other people in this country have nothing. If someone works hard to build a business, the least they can do is share with the rest of us because otherwise, it’s just not fair! Bill Gates should pay off my mortgage – that greedy @#!*. Bill Soros should buy me a car, that %&@$ so-&-so. It’s not my fault I was born into a lower class. I hate those evil rich people! They are so smug and arrogant!
And as Charlie Brown once said: “Don’t you know sarcasm when you hear it?”
You want so cheese to go with that whine? Geeze – you sound like a bunch of 5 year olds. Grow up!
BTW, even as a conservative, I was against the Wall Street bail-out. Obama wasn’t! Why are you?
