“There's a reason for this, there's a reason education sucks, and it's the same reason it will never ever ever be fixed. It's never going to get any better. Don't look for it. Be happy with what you've got... because the owners of this country don’t want that. I'm talking about the real owners now... the real owners. The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls. They got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying. Lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want. They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests. That’s right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fuckin’ years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your fuckin' retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later 'cause they own this fuckin' place. It’s a big club and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club. By the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Good, honest, hard-working people: white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good, honest, hard-working people continue — these are people of modest means — continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t care about you at all! At all! At all! And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes every day, because the owners of this country know the truth. It’s called the American Dream, 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it.”

But the progressives are few, when there should be more. But swear to god, if I see Rick Santorum’s homophobic shit eating grin; I will hurt something. THEY’RE ALL ASSHOLES! I’M DELIRIOUS! I’M DELIRIOUS!
6 Must-Have Apps for Political Junkies
motherjones.com
Excited about getting these apps soon…
Some especially persistent voters rifle through Federal Election Commission filings in their spare time, poring over the latest data dumps and tracking outside money for insight into who’s influencing the vote. Luckily for those of us with less time (or patience), tech-savvy politicos have figured out ways to filter through that all info and send some of the juicier bits straight to our favorite gadgets. Now you can peel back the facade of the mysterious backer of that one issues ad or view a whole compilation of polls at a moment’s notice. These six apps can make it more enticing, not to mention a lot faster, to tap into what’s going on behind the scenes of the horse race.
AN OVERVIEW OF THE GOP Debate 09/22/2011
I am so angry right now, the ignorance and misleading assertions against our current president is so obtuse. I can’t believe people support those candidates. My heart was crushed when Stephen Hill, an American Hero stated that because of the DADT repeal he was able to finally stop hiding who he truly is, and asked if any of the GOP candidates would do anything to change it. Rick Sanatorium was so quite to respond saying that social issues should never be apart of the policies and procedures in the military. HELLO Rick um let me take you back to when Blacks were not allowed to serve in the Military or Women, I look at those as social issues that the military had to act upon in order for both ‘groups’ of people to even be able to serve for our country. I just love how despite the ignorance of the crowd and the hateful response from the candidates , it does not stop the LGBT community in the military for having a desire to continue to keep our lives safe on a daily basis. I am completely disgusted by this. Showing pride in your sexuality is just the same as showing pride in your heritage, your religion, the country you came from, the school you graduated from. So why do we make this any different. I am just completely at a lost for words. Americans are better than this, my hope is that foreign nations did not get to see this disgrace. The responses in this GOP debate are UN-American. We are a nation of opportunity, that is why Blacks,Whites, Gays and homophobes , Atheists and Christians are able to be who they are and feel no shame. Conservatives are hiding what America truly is! They are trying to hide the true colors of our nation. I don’t understand why Americans are not upset and angry over this.
The second most idiotic thing I could ever hear, was also said tonight in the debate. An equal fair tax, you gotta be kidding me. I thought I was watching a comedy reel, it was that ridiculous to me. Let me let you all be aware that roughly 47% of Americans make under $20,000 a year, that is what makes them exempt from having to pay taxes because unfortunately they can’t even afford to keep the colors on their backs clean. This is preposterous, and of course they fail to give us an exact number on what this Fair tax would require each of us to ‘equally’ pay. HELLO AMERICANS , salaries on jobs IN AMERICA are based on experience/ education, is anyone going to dispute that ? So why would we expect all of us to pay the same in taxes, its just completely heinous and so selfish for us to do to one another. It will truly keep the poor, poor and the wealthy, wealthy. Like who in their right mind would agree to this, by doing this we would be creating a CASTE SYSTEM in AMERICA sounds so much like communism to me. And I say this because the GOP just loves to call us Democrats communists. I don’t see how basing someone’s income on how much they pay in taxes is anything like what CHINA would do.
The third most stupid comments were on the Federal Department of Education. Ron Paul, Rick Sanatorium, Michele Bachmann and others all agreed that the Fed. Department of Education should be demolished and the responsibility of education be dealt with on the local and state governments. I’m sorry to tell you GOP crowd but until we can properly teach children the history of our nation, the bad , ugly, and the good all in one. I do not trust any state or local government regulating what is taught to the future of our country. Southern states such as the ones where most of these candidates come from exclude things so prominent in our history, things such as the Civil Rights movement and the civil war and better yet who owned this land first, NATIVE AMERICANS. Until everyone realizes that the confederate flag is a representation of state sovereignty over federal rule and racism which is what they call ‘Southern Pride’ . Which let me tell you rednecks that love to rock your confederate flags and trashy attire. The confederate flag represents state sovereignty and the main reason southern states wanted state soverignty rights over federal rule was so they could continue the importation of slaves. The main reason behind the 9th and 10th amendment in our bill of rights evolved around this issue. KNOW YOUR HISTORY!!! READ THE FEDERALIST PAPERS IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME And look at the number of UN-planned pregnancies in America, Abstinence only is a complete waste of federal and state spending. Everyone knows when you tell a child not to do something, they do it to see why they were not supposed to in the first place. WE ARE CREATURES OF CURIOSITY, remember how this land was even discovered.
Ok, I think I am done venting this intelligence that the FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION HAS FUNDED. I guess I can’t be so angry because looking at how idiotic the remarks and beliefs on how this nation should be run is the exact reason why OBAMA won the 2008 election. I think I am safe to say that this debate has shown us unfortunately how stupid some of us Americans are. YEA I’m not a politician so I can say it, SOME OF US AMERICANS ARE REALLY STUPID. But I have confidence and hope that those young intellectual minds and old and wise men and women in this country are in an agreeance that these GOP debates are humorous, entertaining and nothing else. Until the GOP party can be an inclusive group of people instead of materialistic selfish human beings, they will always be the minority.
