My only objection to that image is the use of one dollar bills. Clearly, you don't know our central bank, or the kind of scale it operates on.

I love America more than any other country in this world; and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually. ~James Baldwin
America is so vast that almost everything said about it is likely to be true, and the opposite is probably equally true. ~James T. Farrell America is a tune. It must be sung together. ~Gerald Stanley Lee, Crowds America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. ~Abraham Lincoln Illegal aliens have always been a problem in the United States. Ask any Indian. ~Robert Orben America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization. ~Georges Clemenceau If America ever passes out as a great nation, we ought to put on our tombstone: America died from a delusion she had Moral Leadership. ~Will Rogers The pilgrims were kicked out of England, quarreled with the Dutch, alienated the Indians, and had an evil reputation among the turkeys. ~Dave Beard America is an enormous frosted cupcake in the middle of millions of starving people. ~Gloria Steinem America is a place where Jewish merchants sell Zen love beads to agnostics for Christmas. ~John Burton Brimer America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable. ~Hunter S. Thompson Oh Beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain, For strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain. America, America, man sheds his waste on thee, And hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea. ~George Carlin They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they kept only one; they promised to take our land, and they did. ~Red Cloud I feel that I am a citizen of the American dream and that the revolutionary struggle of which I am a part is a struggle against the American nightmare. ~Eldridge Cleaver Let America realize that self-scrutiny is not treason. Self-examination is not disloyalty. ~Richard Cardinal Cushing Intellectually I know that America is no better than any other country; emotionally I know she is better than every other country. ~Sinclair Lewis If you want a symbolic gesture, don't burn the flag; wash it. ~Norman Thomas |

DeChristopher found guilty By Josh Bennett The final day of the Tim DeChristopher trial has concluded, and with it came the verdict of the jury. Consisting of eight men and four women, the jury decided the fate of the activist, finding him guilty on two criminal charges. "Many before me have gone to jail for justice, and if we're going to achieve our vision, many after me will have to join me, as well," DeChristopher said to his crowd of supporters after the trial was dismissed. Immediately, people chimed in stating they would join him. "And we know that now, I'll have to go to prison," he said. "We know that now, that's the reality, but that's just the job that I have to do." Many supporters cried, but DeChristopher made his way through his support, hugging and thanking each of them. "And all of you out here were the reminder for all of us that I wasn't just a finger all alone in there, but that I was connected to a hand with many fingers that could unite as one fist. And that that fist could not be broken by the power they have in there," DeChristopher said. Before he could finish his sentence, the crowd around him threw their fists in the air. In a Dec. 19, 2008 auction, DeChristopher wrongfully placed bids on parcels of land. Now, DeChristopher will await his sentencing—about two months from now—when he will learn his punishment—up to 10 years in prison and an $81,000 fine. http://www.dailyutahchronicle.com/mo...ilty-1.2505048 |

Fuck "God". Religious freaks are the reason America is so stupid.
How about, respect individual freedoms that America is "supposed" to be (but is not)?

God Less America
Thank God for Separation of Church and Corporate State... Quote:
![]() Flags made with OPEC crude oil plastic, sewn by kids in Chinese sweatshops don't burn, they melt. Then the spew toxic waste into the air. Cotton Wallmart flags are also made with outsourced textiles. The US cotton crop requires 90 million pounds of poisons that shouldn't be released into the atmosphere by burning. Non psychoactive Hemp is organic, greater tensile strength and softer. A schedule #1 narcotic adding numbers to the yearly "Marijuana" eradication statistics. Even when we can grow it here you shouldn't burn it. The Fascist Neocons hoodwinking the Redleg states, have no sovereignty to America or allegiance to Americans. Quote:

I was canvassing the other day for oxfam and some guy with an accent said to me 'you want to know how to end world hunger? end capitalism'
I had not enough time to explain why that was a stupid thing to say before he walked away. Hope he finds some kind of peace of mind in china or wherever he thinks is better. |

One Nation Under Educated
![]() Capitalism isn't the, or a problem. It's a convenience. Fascism is the problem. Removing the money from elections, courts and necessary health care would make it fair and true to the Constitution. Profit now rules and with it lies and any means to the end of profit. Treating provides more than preventing. Shelving inventions to keep outdated toxic systems running just for the sake of profit is what's wrong. Knowingly spewing smoke with dirty air just to save a few bucks. Deregulating corporations worker safety standards or clean air and water standards or food quality or clothing just for profit. Is wrong and un-American and UnConstitutional. Outsourcing jobs or mandatory sentencing are all designed around profit over the individuals rights. So no capitalism isn't a bad thing and liberal appeasers usually misuse it because they're afraid of the "F" word. It's undoubtedly Corporatism. ![]() Corporations have bought and paid for the legislation to benefit them at the expense of the majority. Not nazi's or Mussolini just plain old Roman Fascism. Plus 5 generations of cannabinoid deficiency abstaining from Ganja making people sheep and totally addicted to synthetic poisons and plastics. Chemical clothing to fossil fools all competition to Hemp as well as Booze and white powders are to Ganja. Where do the pot holes go? More fossil fools washed into the oceans. More abortions in the bible belt from tom delay pesticides than RvW. Where are the Palin ditzo's? The tax freaks and the dick armey? How about the kochsuckers whining about taxes as they their responsibility in offshore Cayman island banks. Money that we working tax payers have to make up. So by definition, capitalism is easier than bartering. But in the US its not capitalism, its Wallmart street sweat shop labor, union busting prohibitionist war brokers. Pretty obvious if you haven't entered the herd mentality state of sheople... Red flags everywhere and not a commie in sight. Oh but I'm sure facts will never persuade a moneyslut out of their profit minded gossip and denialism. Worshipping Geeeeeeezus the Money God of Natural Adulterations. Education depravation with censored school books and the cable networks. Chumps for Change in Obomboland... ![]() Strong corporate profits amid weak economy? Al Capone and Watergate were red herrings to divert the countries attention from the Fascist acts of eliminating competition. Booze/Ethanol and Ganja//Hemp. Study: Conservatives Have Larger 'Fear Centers' in Their Brains British study shows conservatives' brains tend to have larger amygdalas, which responsible for primitive emotions. Conservatives' brains have larger amygdalas than the brains of liberals. Amygdalas are responsible for fear and other "primitive" emotions. At the same time, conservatives' brains were also found to have a smaller anterior cingulate -- the part of the brain responsible for courage and optimism. OK and a so what's the problem? Sounds about right to me mon.

It is the consequence of triumph by a particular philosophy of government, by a movement that understands the liberal state as a perversion and considers the market the ideal nexus of human society. This movement is friendly to industry not just by force of campaign contributions but by conviction.” ![]() Quote:
