F*** that….
Too many have the wrong idea of Americans as shallow, materialist consumers who care only about getting rich or getting ahead. But this isn’t the America I know.
Many ask, “What can I do to help in our fight?” The answer is simple. All of us can become a September the 11th volunteer by making a commitment to service in our own communities.
I call on all Americans to serve by bettering our communities and thereby defy and defeat the terrorists.
- George W. Bush, Atlanta, GA, 11-8-01
He worked as a community organizer. What? He worked — I said — I said — okay, okay. Maybe this is the first problem on the resume. He worked as a community organizer.
- Rudy Giuliani, 9/11 Super Hero, 2008 RNC Keynote Speaker
I guess a small town mayor is sort of like a community organizer — except that you have actual responsibilities.
- Sarah Palin, 24/7/365 Super Hero, 2008 GOP VP candidate
9/11 makes me think about how much George W. Bush f*cked up America. Bush-Cheney were the mythical 20th hijacker. They have wrung ever last bit of blood and pain out of 9/11 to justify sh*tting on the Constitution, fighting an unnecessary war, and lining the wallets of their cronies.
Four years of McCain/Palin will be like “getting hit” again. How dare I compare…. I dare, because Americans without adequate health insurance means needless pain, suffering, and death. Loose regulation of industry means needless pain, suffering, and death. A corporate-first attitude towards climate change means massive needless pain, suffering, and death at a global level, through droughts, famines, storms, and wars. A continuation of Bush economic policies means more people slipping into poverty and thus more crime and thus more needless pain, suffering, and death.
McCain/Palin…the GOP…they could succeed at protecting fetuses. Hip-hip-hooray…even in cases of rape, incest, and where a woman’s life is endangered, a fetus’s right to be born will be protected. AND THEN WHAT? The GOP doesn’t give a crap…pull yourself up by your own umbilical cord.
Someone at work printed out a “NOBAMA” logo. It was left in the copier room. It’s kinda clever.
I think I’ll come with a clever slogan for a bumper sticker as well. Maybe
Obama / Biden :
NO F*CKING WAY WE’RE GONNA HAVE 4 MORE YEARS OF THIS SH*T
Isn’t it better to talk about why you’re FOR something instead of why you’re AGAINST something else?
Fine
Obama / Biden :
THEY ARE A F*CKING CHANGE MACHINE!
P.S. – Can we f*cking find Bin Laden already?
I have taken up the habit of listening to conservative talk radio on the drive to/from work, in order to hear what insanity is currently the talking point from the right. Today, they were reading off the timeline of 9/11 in the most melodramatic fashion possible. On one hand, it was a good reminder of that day’s events – on the other hand, ranting at length about how freedom defeated robotic fanaticism sounded ridiculous.
Can we please have a decent president now? Please?
