Comment on Who Knew Obama Was a Coward? by Brian

Obama is a highly manipulative, shameful coward. He has no valor, honor or bravery in his soul. He has watched many thousands die from the comfort of the White House. He sends out a drone from time to time and pretends that counts as courage. Sing us another ditty ‘Mr. President’. That’s all you’re good for.

I agree with Sally. I too am cast away. No one cares. No one will let you talk without telling you you are “wallowing” or did something to deserve your fate. Every minute of every day, I think of killing myself. When you only have $3 in the bank and your tires are bald, and your teeth are hurting, and your 40 year old muscles have atrophied from doing nothing so that you shake horribly when you try to take the stairs….you can do nothing but die. Family and friends disappear because they are afraid you will try to borrow money again.

I am alive right now, only because I was forced to dig back 15 years and call and ask a doctor I used to work with if he would please loan me money. I imagine he is a millionaire so he has said yes, twice now. This is someone I haven’t even spoken to in 15+ years. Yet my mother told me no when I asked her for a loan. She said she couldn’t do without her lottery tickets. So I will never speak to her again.

Every inch of me hurts. I usually can’t even cry anymore, but tonight I am. I call and talk to hiring managers and they always like me on the phone and tell me I sound perfect for the job, then when they get my resume that has a few temp jobs on it, they never speak to me again.
Unless I win a sweepstakes I don’t think I’ll live long. It’s ok, because this world is too horrible. Our politicians and Big Corporations have sealed our fates.

Medicine is not recession proof. When the factory worker is unemployed, he has no health insurance and no paycheck. So he does not go to the doctor. The clinics and hospitals then need less nurses, less radiology techs, less house-keepers, and even less doctors. Medical practices across the country are laying off at least one of the doctors on their staff so as to keep up the incomes of the remaining doctors.

I am a nurse, unemployed for 4 years. In medicine, once you are unemployed for about 3 months, they label you as “not safe”. They assume you may forget something that could kill a patient. After 6 months, forget it. You will never work as a nurse again. I was told by one hospital, at 5 months unemployment that they would not hire me unless I went back to college!

My education has been erased. There is nothing left for me to do but die.

I feel compelled to share the following story because it illustrates well how free-market capitalism cannot always be the panacea to civil societies’ needs and ills and people’s self-interest:

To all you conservative bullshitters out there who’ve fallen for the propaganda, ask yourself the simple question: Do you really want your water privatized!?!? Imagine your home’s water supply run like the cable company…really bad idea.

On the other hand, a few of you out there may have heard about Jefferson County, Alabama having been the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. Any guesses on what project drove Jefferson county into more than $4 billion in debt?

Can anyone say government inefficiency, fraud, corruption and waste? To all you liberal bullshitters out there who’ve fallen for the propaganda, ask yourself the simple question: Do you really want spendthrift politicians controlling your town’s water system budget?

Hello Rickc:

Love the Benjamin Franklin quote as it fits perfectly into the hanging motif.

Few thousand jobs for the millions of unemployed…I’m glad to hear there are still a few of us out there who understand the meaning of perspective.

Both sides have their delusions. Left has its everlasting other peoples money. Right it’s as you say, own throat cutting.

One test of one’s ideologies is a historical perspective. In that did we act like this in the good ole times, and if so, what is the difference.

Some know it but it is buried under ideologies and current best business practice. The root cause of the on-coming calamity is the separation of production from consumption. The globalization that has enabled this has achieved corporate profits never seen in recent history.

Fascism will never allow this to be changed. I am afraid that a second
American revolution is the only remedy.

Hello folks. Its been awhile since I posted here. I have to say what really strikes me is the power of diminished expectations. It seems that Americans are slowly being conditioned to accept less and less and just take it. No fighting back no resistance. 12 years now…12 years of zero job growth and few people are ready yet to even concede something is wrong. So many people claim Its Just another business cycle. Good ole America and red white and blue will come through if you just pull yourself up by the bootstraps and all that standard propaganda that might have been true in the days of yore but guess what? times change right??

The Employed say to the unemployed:
Plenty of jobs out there its just that people are too lazy to work(look at all those jobs in the natural gas industry in north dakota..thousands of them!!!). Of course, the employed being such geniuses in areas like mathematics fail to explain how 15 million unemployed can be fitted into a few thousand jobs. All this is an excuse for the employed and those doing ok to continue to ignore the problems.The unemployed and poor though just get tossed away..disposable just like all the mass produced garbage made in china and sold in America. we are being taught and conditioned to live in our own bubbles and to not have concern for our neighbors. As long as its all about me then there is no organized popular resistance. Its exactly like Ben franklin said” we either all hang together or we all hang separetly”. Problem is most people are opting to hang separately..no concern for what’s happening to the country UNTIL it happens to them personally. Look at Egypt, Libya or Greece. These are models of societies that are bonding and fighting back. Societies not as willing to just bend over and take it as Americans are so fond of doing.
Sadly I think we will need another big economic burst..probably in the next three to five years..for people to finally wake up to the simple realization that the America of fairy tales:land of milk and honey, opportunity..and all that has been sold out by corporations and politicians and now serves as help for the 1% of wall street bankers and ceo’s.

Likewise, Admin. Your posting have been sorely missed. But then again our diatribes might as well be like yelling into a black hole since people seem to fall for the same obfuscations and prevarications again and again and again. Critical thinking is an anathema in our society as those perpetuating ignorance are rewarded while those that rationally criticize are marginalized and disenfranchised.

I completely concur about the shift of American politics to the right as politicians worry more about their political careers than they do about enacting good policies. I suspect Obama and Nixon would have gotten along swimmingly since they are both concerned more with proving themselves to the establishment than to the American people.

Neo — great to hear from you. Always enjoy your writings — you are so good at it. I have been remiss in posting recently. The Republicans are getting crazier and have pulled the country farther to the right. So much that Democrats represent classical Republicans and Republicans get more and more evil. Obama is closer to a Reagan Republican than an FDR.
