just some follow-up quotes to my ‘america’ post the other day (this is a topic that is really frustrating me at the moment… just have to get it out so don’t feel that i’m wanting you to agree with my vision). not sure why i continue researching stuff like this as it only seems to piss me off even more…
the following quotes are pulled from the discussion and comments following these videos.
“Bush was never elected. Not in 2000, & not in 2004. America stood by while the neocons stole the elections & took over the media. America never questioned the official story about the September 11 attacks. Congress never even read the Patriot Act. America never blinked when Bush substituted Saddam for Osama. America is stupid. After the mandate of the November 2006 elections, Pelosi immediately said impeacment was off the table. Republicans and Democrats are up to their eyeballs in blood and lies. Wake up America! Demand immediate impeachment of Bush and Cheney, before Blackwater thugs roll down Main St USA. America can still be saved if the people demand it.”
“72% of Americans disagree with his policies while the other 28% are just as blind to what Bush is doing as they are to the fact that their spouse is cheating on them and their auto mechanic is overcharging.
Americans are not ’stupid’. It has been ingrained into our minds that we should trust our parents, our teachers and professors, our ministers and priests, our congress, Senate and of course, our President. To inappropriately trust is not indicative of stupidity. It may be ignorant and naive, but not stupid. OK. Semantics, I know, but that word has a hurtful connotation to it and it’s just not true, for the most part.
I think Americans are really beginning to see the light. But, sadly, most will never understand the true depths of our own government’s corruption. And, I do also agree, Americans need to DEMAND change, not just stand by and wait for it to happen.
YOU need to become active! EVERYONE does! These are not times for passivity and indifference. Our country is sinking into the shadows of a dark hole. Without serious change, this country can’t survive our own internal curruptions.
That’s why we can’t elect another Bush into office. That’s why we need to care who we put there and put our hearts into this election. And, be ready, because there are things going on behind the curtain that we can’t see. Don’t be surprised if there is more deceitful, criminal behavior during this upcoming election. Don’t be surprised if the same puppeteers are behind the next US President.
The only way to ensure it doesn’t happen is to NOT allow it!”
“We must come to understand the value of Freedom once again as Americans once new all too well. Freedom is something worth fighting for but every living American born citizen was born into freedom and we’ve never really needed to come to understand what it really means. Not the way our forefathers had to.
Only after losing our freedom or having it stripped away from us on some very real level can we come to understand what we are losing.
But, for now, we are only beginning to see the damage our own government is inflicting on us.
I fear that our government is in many ways, our own worst nightmare and I hope we all continue to discuss these things openly and with real intent to do something about it if necessary.”
the unfortunate realization i am beginning to have is that it’s a little too late for action. it seems that any attempt at a revolution or public march against what our government is doing will simply land you in jail or ripped from you home in the middle of the night, which has been happening to many immigrants since 9/11.
