Freepers, Birthers, Morons of all stripe, You didn’t get mad…
The following excellent viral email has been making the rounds for a few weeks now and deserves a link you can direct your friends to. The source of the original message is unknown. I have revised it slightly, corrected a few mistakes, added a couple of lines of my own, and added supporting links.
Freepers, Birthers, Morons of all stripe, You didn’t 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 was outed.
You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act 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 $8.8 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.
You didn’t get mad when you saw the Abu Grahib photos.
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 the government suspended the Right of Heabeus Corpus to American citizens.
You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden (or when the president said he was “truly not concerned about him” a mere SIX MONTHS after 9/11).
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 the National Debt DOUBLED in just six years to hit the ten trillion dollar mark.
No. 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 get 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… well, that’s SOCIALISM!

Good list, but please don’t forget the day the SC allowed corporations to fully purchase elections, January 21, 2010, the day the US died, IMHO.

I considered adding it, but right now, there just isn’t a legitimate supporting news link to document the consequences, only speculation.
As the election draws near and Special Interests with deep pockets start flooding the airwaves with questionable material, the case will be more easily made (and indisputable).
