all i got to say right now is im tired of hearing that the media had everything to do with this aka fox news that is some bullshit excuse. You kno wyou guys bashed bush like a motherfucker and now that obama is getting shit it is so wrong to speak up. Everyone has different opinions and to use the media excuse is the weakest shit ever.  Obama isnt loved everywhere lots of foriegn leaders have said how much of a dumbass he is and is a puppet like frances leader and all this about meeting with chaves and chaves handing him an anti-america book is really awsome lol and he excepted it hes a tool.

Willingness to look at other perspectives does not make a tool, in my opinion. One of the wisest things I think a person can do is listen most closely to the people who disagree.
Besides, the book is a collection of true historical events and one man's interpretation. Reality is not anti-American.

And I really don't think it's weak to look at how closely certain politicians and media figure heads are directly encouraging and supporting these protests. If you don't investigate where a message comes from, you're not likely to completely understand its intention.

Bush disgraced this nation by lying to the people, breaking laws, and spending us into this financial crisis. I think those are good reasons to be very angry and vocal. If that's bashing him, I'm OK with that. I wouldn't have liked my self much if I had always kept my mouth shut. Just like I won't be quited when I see blatant media manipulation of the people for the purpose of political power plays. I've been listening closely to the conservative media online, radio, and TV... I hear blatant lies about what's going on, every single day. It's worse than just spin doctoring. And the truly sad part is, it's really easy to fact check what they're saying. They don't expect anyone to call them out...and their usually right. I'd say roughly two-thirds of the propaganda I hear never goes reported on within any major media. And it should be. People should know when they're being lied to and misled, even if they never bothered to look it up for them selves.
Good news is, most of the conservative media outlets are hyping up their own impact. The people who really think Obama's a socialist and that his tax policies are dangerous, they're in a surprising, yet encouraging minority. His approval rating is still above 60%. (citation: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/04/23/obama.approval.poll/?iref=hpmostpop http://www.gallup.com/poll/117355/Obama-Approval-Rating-Stable-Polarized.aspx [url]http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/040209_FNCPoll.pdf[url]

I'm all for the freedom of speech, I'm glad that these people got news time, I'm glad they were allowed to peacefully protest. Its fantastic people are paying attention to protests again, they should. It certainly inspired me to look more deeply at Obama's tax policies. It's even better that we have a president that's willing to quickly, publicly address people's concerns in a serious and intelligent manner, rather than monosyllabic pandering.

Look at these People
Amazing how sheep will
Show up for the slaughter

No one condemning
You (we) lined up like lemmings,
You're (We're) led to the water

Why can’t they see what I see
Why can’t they hear the lies
Maybe the fee’s too pricey for them to realize
Your disguise (the government and ruling Parties) is slipping, I think you’re slipping

Now that your savior (the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Liberty, Justice... all that that can't speak and is supposed to be a tool in the hands that wield power to protect us) is
still as the grave you’re
beginning to fear me

Like cavemen fear thunder (ignorance and lack of good education)
I still have to wonder
Can you really hear me... (Apathy that we will be cared for and shouldn't bother to look out the window to see what they are doing right in front of our faces)

I bring you pain, the kind you can’t suffer quietly (the breakdown of life as we have known it for the past 15-20 years)
Fire up your brain, (educate yourselves and those around you)
Remind you inside you’re rioting (We are made to think and improve, to stand up for ourselves and for the most part we sit and let the walls fall down before we start to improve upon the foundation that would have kept the house from falling down around us)
Society is slipping, everythings slipping away, so.... (We LET it happen. *shrug*)

Go ahead! Run away!
Say it was horrible!
Spread the word, tell a friend
Tell them the tale

Get a pic, do a blog
Heroes are over with! (no knight in shining armor is going to ride out of the mist on a gleaming white steed! We have to reach out to each other if we are going to survive... ya, Hippie shite , i know...)
Look at him, not a word (but we close ourselves off and shut our eyes)
Hammer meet Nail ("Pucker up, here comes a Finger")

Then I (THEY) win!
Then I (THEY) get,
everything I (THEY) ever...
All the cash, all the fame
and social change! (in their favor)

anarchy that I (They) run.
It’s Dr. Horrible’s  (The Government/Ruling Body)turn.
You people all have to learn,
this world is going to burn, burn, burn! (Censorship, loss of rights. Or, the disolvment of this way of life and the beginning of something completely different, good or bad... )

No sign of penny (morality, good conscience), good.
I would give anything not to have her see.

It’s gonna be bloody, head up billy buddy
there’s no time for mercy (Lube up and make it snappy!)

Here goes no mercy......

------------------------------------------------
Give a few words or phrases different meanings and i think it would describe how i feel about the way the Government is and has been operating since a before I was born. I am for Obama, that doesn't mean I agree with everything he has and will do. But I also agree that if we want to protest what he does it needs to be the truth and in the right spirit of preserving this nation.... which is something that, like communism and even Socialism, will never happen because everyone wants shiny toys they don't have to share with others... I am very sleepy and don't even know if a lot of that made any sense but it has been a stressful week. I hope i don't stir up a hornets nest but i like it when you guys talk politics. Wink Makes me feel like we might actually be able to change the world if only in a small way....
now I am rambling... nighty night Kiss
