My buddy Aaron posted this note over at Facebook. Perspective, folks... gain it.
You didn't get mad when...
- The Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
- Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.
- A covert CIA operative got outed.
- The Pentagon misplaced $2.3 trillion.
- The Patriot Act got passed.
- We illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.
- We spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.
- Over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.
- You saw the Abu Grahib photos.
- You found out we were torturing people.
- The government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
- We didn't catch Bin Laden.
- You saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
- We let a major US city drown.
- The deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.
- The debt went up $5 trillion under Bush.
You FINALLY got mad when... when... wait for it... when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all ok with you but helping other Americans... well fuck that. ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH!

Except that perspective is lost on the people this is directed towards.
I lol'd though.
It's sad that you're right. Can't stop fighting the good fight, though.
I did get angry on a lot of those points. However, I'm more pissed that the current administration is making it all worse. So much for change.
PS: "Let a major US city drown" and "We didn't catch Bin Laden" are both the most bogus things I've ever seen on a list like this. Should have added "Didn't prevent tsunami" as well.
And... we have someone who can't face hard truths without calling the points names. Go figure.
It's funny that the two points you call attention to are probably the two least important ones on the list. C'mon! You can do better than that! Tell us why we're all dumb and stupid poo-poo heads! You can do it!
