| 8 years of Bush & Cheney... Now You Get Mad? |
|
This was in one of the Obama Yahoo groups that is still active. I Love It!!
WE HAD EIGHT YEARS OF BUSH & CHENEY... NOW YOU GET MAD?
You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.
You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.
You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion (and counting) on said illegal war.
You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.
You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.
You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
You didn't get mad when we let a major US city drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.
You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.
You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans... OH, HELL NO!

| 2. Love it. And really, that's all you need to know about the current "populist anger." |
|
Oh, and that they have an overwhelmingly racist bent.

I wish I knew who wrote it because I'm probably going to post it elsewhere, and I rarely post anything without attribution.
But thanks for bringing it here. Much appreciated.

|
And he said he'd gotten it from a friend who had gotten it from a friend. It's just a forwarded email, public domain. They're posted at DU all the time.

| 9. Isn't it a shame that we would know better than to post |
|
on a Democratic Web site, yet I feel as you do. I know in my heart that every part of it is so true but the truth will not set some others free.
