Look at the Iranians! Thousands of them out on the street raising hell about the theft of the Presidential election in that country. Even facing gunfire and and threats, they stand strong!
Look at the Americans. In 2000 they allow the theft of a Presidential election and like the sheep we are, we say nothing. We don't raise hell. We don't take to the streets. No, we accept the appoinment of a President who did not more than half the votes, did not win even a pluality of the votes and who was elected by a criminal conspiracy in Florida. We just accept our fate and walk off the the slaughter house of WAR because our illegitimate President says "weapons of mass destruction". Not a word from the sheeple.
But when our SPORTS teams win a championship THEN we go to the streets and raise 7 kinds of HELL don't we? It is great to live in a country filled with sheep who do whatever their masters tell them!

They were disgusting. They were just stupid. They were really "I Hate Obama" parties instead of tax protest. I bet 80% of the people there don't even pay income tax.

I don't care what the reason is, be it tea parties, anti-war protest, election problems, whatever... I remember when Americans were far more motivated and when something foul was a foot in government, folks took to the streets. Today, you can't hardly get them to send an email to their representative which takes all of 2 minutes to do. They don't listen, it don't matter, no one cares, etc... the list of reasons not to do something is endless.

I agree. It is hard to believe that we could have more sheep than we did when the Bush administration was in power but we obviously do. Nobody is speaking out against failed TARP, billions and billions of dollars thrown at banks, with no results. Billions and billions of dollars thrown at the auto industry but with no effect. Lies, lies and more lies, absolutely no transparency, inspector general fired by Obama with total disregard for the legal requirement for firing these appointees. It is amazing that when a Democrat does these type of things it is all good and yet the public will not speak out, our media will sit on the sidelines rather than do their job. It is really a shame and a sham that this is what we as a nation have come too. And they complained about Bush!

Why Iranians Are BETTER Than American Sheeple
Only protests on issues you agree with are acceptable.

Btw; Subsequent independent recounts showed that "W" won the election. Thought maybe you forgot about that.

The election in question was in '04, Captain K.
