52. What Really Sucks

Fri Dec 26, 2014, 02:18 PM

Dec 2014

Is that I only say whatever I say because I truly care about this country and everyone in it. I am saddened by those who walk on the backs of others for personal gain and don't vocally defend the oppressed. Our land has been hijacked by fascists willing to exploit any opportunity for self-gain and we have our own Vichy brand of Democrats willing to go along and close their eyes to war atrocities committed abroad and increasingly at home. We have 2 million people in jail mostly because of the drug war. It's simply criminal for our reps not to be speaking out about this.
