Let's get this straight

[cantonglocker]

Our legislators ignore their constituents and pass laws infringing on our Constitutional Rights.

The Feds use the commerce clause to pass anything they want

The courts change arguments for the lawmakers so they can avoid overturning them.

And we are supposed to sit back and have faith in the system.

The less than half of us who actually pay federal income tax arent paying our fair share.

The poor aren't getting enough free shit

And we are supposed to sit back and have faith in the system.

Welcome to the new United States. It ain't like it was when our parents and grandparents were among the working class.

I hope Texas seceded so we have someplace to go

 

[Verbotene]

Who cares about all that shit?!

Game of Thrones just started back up!1!!one

*Sigh*

Just keep fighting the good fight. And try to wake up any of zombies too interested in Welcome to Myrtle Manor to pay attention to anything of import.

That about sums it up...it's a sad state of affairs that so many are so happy to drink the cool-aid and wear their blinders.

Our political system is broken and the lawmakers have found a way to keep it from being fixed. Think about it, there is always a winner of every election even if nobody likes any of the parties, platforms or politician running. No matter what it is always a vote for the best of the worst so the worst always win and the public always loses.

***In many cases we no longer vote in a person qualified to do the job they have been entrusted to do. We are at a point where we elect officials ala American Idol as opposed to someone with demonstrable skills in fixing the problems of our day, the economy, and have values congruent with the conservative principles that made this country great.

We live in interesting times.

This country is unbelievable. So many stupid people.

This country is unbelievable. So many stupid people.

I think before this vote people need to see this movie as not a comedy, but a prophecy.

This country is unbelievable. So many stupid people.

The sad part is that many are too stupid to know how stupid they actually are.

Been telling people that for years.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.

We seek not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. Samuel Adams

If this is not an Annapolis gun control meeting, I don't know what is.

Don't know which movie is more real and frightening. This one or Soylent Green.

You left out the part where they re-vote a passed amendment until it fails.

No we are supposed to subvert it from within. How remains to be seen, but it will happen.

How many people who have watched it understand that Idiocracy is not a comedy. It is a critique of modern U.S. society. Think of it as a contemporary version of Shakespeare's fools, where teachings and warnings are conveyed through comedic humor and satire.

 

[Brooklyn]

How many people who've watched it understand that Idiocracy is not a comedy. It's a critique of modern U.S. society. The comedic elements are tongue in cheek.

I thought it was a documentary or a HOW TO, right up to the end. Then I realized that it was a bad satire. It just was not funny.

It still isn't.
