We The People Stimulus Package Video

Oh, I see, does this have to do with the Republicans teabagging each other?

Bellamy Brothers?

OLD HIPPIE
The Bellamy Brothers


He turned thirty-five last Sunday
In his hair he found some gray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle
He likes it better the old way
So he grows a little garden in the back yard by the fence
He's consuming what he's growing nowadays in self defense
He get's out there in the twilight zone
Sometimes when it just don't make no sense

He gets off on country music
Cause disco left him cold
He's got young friends into new wave
Buts he's just too friggin old
And he dreams at night of Woodstock
And the day John Lennon died
How the music made him happy
And the silence made him cry
Yea he thinks of John sometimes
And he has to wonder why

CHORUS:
He's an old hippie
And he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old
Should he grab on to the new
He's an old hippie
His new life is just a bust
He ain't trying to change nobody
He just trying real hard to adjust

He was sure back in the sixties
That everyone was hip
Then they sent him off to Vietnam
On his senior trip
And they forced him to become a man
While he was still a boy
And in each wave of tragedy
He waited for the joy
Now this world may change around him
But he just can't change no more

CHORUS

Well he stays away a lot now
From the parties and the clubs
And he's thinking while he's joggin' 'round
Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs
Cause him and his kind get more endangered everyday
And pretty soon the species
Will just up and fade away
Like the smoke from that torpedo
Just up and fade away

no, we shouldnt be shouting taxation without representation. We have representation, we elected them.


Personaly, i think the problem is the average person has an US vs THEM mentality, but has it oriented in the wrong way.

It isnt repub vs democrat
it isnt white vs black
it isnt the u.s. vs an other country

its the haves vs the have nots.

all the other versions of us vs them are just diversionary tactics to keep us (the have nots) split up and fighting amongst each other.

I read an interesting rant to day that said there are 522 people in washington that control this country of a couple billion. Everything that is wrong is this country is directly traced to them and them alone. If the repubs and the dems were both against the war, why are we still in the war, if they were both against big gov't spending, then why do we have big gov spending.

simple. because they are the haves, we are the have nots. for the haves to keep being the haves, they need the have nots to do the grunt work for them.

you dont see 'haves' going to war, or working a 40 hour a week job and in many cases they dont even pay taxes. Do you want the b.s. to stop? Start by clearing washington out.


but all the cute videos and tea parties and emails and online polls in the world isnt going to bring about change.

People in power, especially people in power of a country born of, supported by, and who's biggest industry is war (that would be the u.s.) are not going to give up that power without a fight, or because someone sends them a nasty email or sends an online petition.

Huh?!? Are you serious? You haven't seen the rage for the last 8 years? You must not watch CNN or MSNBC...or ABC or CBS or NBC. I guess you don't read the New York Times or Time Magazine. Sounds you like haven't watched Letterman or Leno in a while. Or heard anything that comes out of Hollywood on a regular basis. There has been lots and lots and lots of rage against the previous administration for the past 8 years. The fact that you haven't seen or heard or read it shocks me.
Now wait a minute. You complain that the previous administration ran "up the deficit to record levels," but you're not going to complain that the current president is doing the same (actually to higher levels)?
Doesn't matter...we don't elect presidents by majority vote, we use the Electoral College. You'll need to change the Consitution if you don't like it. (Actually, Bush won the majority vote in 1994 vs. Kerry...you can look it up!) EDIT: That last statement should read 2004.
