Slam Obama (merged)

[Schöneboom]

Greetings, Flamingboat,

The General Topics forum got more interesting when you came aboard, thanks for standing up. We're in mighty strange times now, and it's vital to start thinking outside the box.

What some folks have come to realize is that the old labels like "liberal" & "conservative" have been rendered nearly meaningless. That is, the two parties running the Punch & Judy Show in Washington are beholden to the same power elite, who laugh at us peasants who continue to vote for the stooges THEY select to maintain the illusion of a republic. Our democratic process bears a striking resemblance to professional wrestling, esp. nowadays! Does anybody seriously think that out of the millions of people in this country, McCain & Obama are the best qualified men we could find? Puh-leeeze!

In the long run, the Wall St. Bailout may be far more significant than what happens with the election next month -- that is, if the election even takes place. I figure the economic situation is even worse than they're admitting. I'm buying more groceries than usual, just in case.

What I reckon is in the pipeline, regardless of who's in office (remember both parties pushed for the bailout), is a total nationalization of our financial system. It won't be called communist or fascist -- it'll be an emergency "rescue", of course! And if that brilliant plan doesn't work, the filthy rich will slip away to their safe havens (guarded by Blackwater mercs) and let us liberal & conservative peasants kill each other over whatever's left.

Friends, if you're still getting your news from the mainstream media... The Matrix has you. Take the red pill, please. It's later than you think.
