We are the sheep in Pink Floyd's Animals. We are the sheep bleating like idiots in Orwell's Animal Farm.glasseye wrote:Somebody, please. Explain to me this inexplicable hatred by America of socialism. Aren't we inherently social beings? Americans are among the most generous people I've met, yet many seem to have a irrational fear of sharing on a national, rather than personal level. I don't get it.
PJ, honest to God, do you not understand what pissed me off? That "Joe" guy was lying. You like getting lied to? I don't. Then he spouts nonsense about Obama tap dancing like Sammy Davis in his reply? Joe wasn't even listening cuz he sure as hell doesn't get it. Look at the lies Americans have swallowed from the Bush Administration. And they STILL listen to this bullshit about how Republicans are about lower taxes and smaller government? Are you serious? Are you serious?
I am done with idiots. I am done with idiots. I am done with idiots.
Glasseye, we Americans do not know what socialism is. We only react like braying donkeys haunted by ghosts of our own reactive idiocy. If it wasn't socialism, it would be "communism." If it wasn't the "Yellow Peril" or the "Red Menace" it is now the "Muslim Terrorists." It is time for us American idiots to shut up, admit all that we do not know, pray for real guidance, learn true humility, and heck, attempt to re educate ourselves. I cannot believe how we champion stupidity. And if you have any questions about your own place in the continuum of stupidity, allow me to provide you a tip-off. If you find yourself spewing more divisive hatred and red herrings about people you have never met than actual efforts to make this a truly better world, you are an idiot.
