“We had eight years of Bush and Cheney. Now you get mad?
You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President?
You didn’t get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy?
You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed?
You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed?
You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us?
You didn’t get mad when we spent over 600 billion (and counting) on said illegal war?
You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq?
You didn’t get mad when you found out we were torturing people?
You didn’t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans?
You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden?
You didn’t get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed?
You didn’t get mad when we let a major US city drown?
You didn’t get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich?
You didn’t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark, and our debt hit the thirteen trillion dollar mark?
You finally got mad 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 okay with you, but helping other Americans ? Oh hell no.”

Chuck,
It is really remarkable how disconnected folks were for so long. It’s like they’re suddenly coming out of hibernation, blinking a few times, and realizing that all hell has broken loose–long after the Bush administration’s left town.

Chuck, Good commentary! I, for one, did get mad at all of the above. But what disturbs me even more is the fact that there are so many people in the US that refuse to believe the truth. They just can’t accept it because it differs from their opinions: that the war was justified, that Obama wasn’t born in America, etc., etc. I find that otherwise intelligent people including relatives & friends, just can’t use their brain for what it was meant to do: filter out the crap and get down to the facts.
