Integrity, you out there? Is Honesty with you? Gonna be Gone Long?

By Ramona on Wed, 03/17/2010 - 9:41pm |
Today I watched a video clip showing some of Dick Armey's fine, upstanding Tea Partiers harassing a man sitting on the ground. The man has Parkinson's Disease, but is out there working hard for health care for everybody. They had to bend down to get in his face. One of the white-shirts threw dollar bills at him. Someone in the background shouted "Communist!" He sat quietly throughout it all, not because he knows his place, but because he knows he's right.

Job fairs, census jobs, and--wouldn't you know? Nut jobs

By Ramona on Fri, 03/12/2010 - 2:19pm |
How many jobless people took in what those baboons were saying? What does it take to get those jobless, demoralized folks mad as hell? I know it's a struggle just to get through the day for millions of people these days, but, damn! Enough is enough.

Square Deal, New Deal, Fair Deal, Raw Deal: What's it gonna be?

By Ramona on Thu, 02/18/2010 - 10:25pm |
Their strategy is to overwhelm us when we're looking the other way. They scatter divisive issues among us, like religion and communism and abortion and taxes and elusive presidential birth certificates and death sentences for our grandmothers, and while we're preoccupied with the stuff that makes us really, really mad, they rob us blind and revel in the spoils.
