You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a president.

You didn't get mad when Dick Cheney allowed energy company officials to dictate energy policy and push us to invade Iraq. Or when a covert CIA operative got outed. Or when the Patriot Act got passed. Or when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us. Or when we spent $800 billion (and counting) on said illegal war. Or when George W. Bush borrowed more money from foreign sources than previous 42 presidents. Or when over $10 billion in cash just disappeared in Iraq. Or when you found out they were torturing people. Or when Bush embraced trade and outsourcing policies that shipped 6 million American jobs out of the country. Or when we didn't catch Osama bin Laden. Or when Bush rang up $10 trillion in combined budget and current account deficits. Or when you saw horrible conditions at Walter Reed. Or when we let a major city drown. Or when we gave more people who had more money than they could spend over a trillion dollars in tax breaks.

Now you get mad because a black man was elected president and tries to ensure that we can see a doctor when we are sick.

1. Yep, that's the Teabaggers

When Little Boots was in office, they were on their knees praying for his well-being, while he pissed on the Constitution and pissed away a huge surplus.

I am unimpressed with the 'Tea Party' FAUX outrage.

2. So true, need say no more.

3. We really need to learn to give credit to our own.

You finally got mad when.. when... wait for it... 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 ok with you but helping other Americans... well fuck that. That about right? You know it is.

You people have all lost your fucking minds. You are selfish, greedy, obnoxious, narcissistic, and frankly... stupid. Your pathetic little misspelled protest signs are embarrassing. Maybe you ought to find the smart person in your midst and let them make up all the signs, cause man, you look like a bunch of idiots. Also you're ugly and your mother dresses you funny.
