The truth is that there’s an enormous amount of anger and frustration around the country. And it’s not right versus left. You know, the anger under the Tea Party movement is the same anger that Michael Moore is feeling. It’s the anger about the fact that what is happening is not fair, that the fix is in, that the system is rigged, and that people who are working hard are not really getting rewarded. And the people at the top who brought us to the financial brink were actually bailed out by the taxpayers.
Arianna Huffington on “Real Time with Bill Maher” Friday, March 5 2010
They were bailed out by the taxpayers on the orders of government officials who come from those very same financial worlds and who personally profit massively by the bailouts. As do their friends. The system itself is corrupt and gamed with the Obama Administration a willing participant.
However, Michael Moore suffers from the current liberal delusion that Obama is somehow a clueless player in all of this and just needs encouragement so he’ll do the right thing.
I don’t know what your team has been up to, but they haven’t served you well. And Rahm, poor Rahm, has turned into a fighter — not of Republicans, but of the left. He called those of us who want universal health care “f***ing retarded.” Look, I don’t know if Rahm is the problem or if it’s Gibbs or Axelrod or any of the other great people we owe a debt of thanks to for getting you elected. All I know is that whatever is fueling your White House it’s now running on fumes. Time to shake things up! Time to bring me in to get you pumped up every morning! Go Barack! Yay Obama! Fight, Team, Fight!
The truth is, Obama appointed that team. He’s not some bystander dupe being tricked by devious aides. They are carrying out his wishes and orders. Liberals need to understand that. Then act accordingly.
Forty-one years ago I got a Social Security Card and went to work on a cattle ranch a hundred miles the other side of Burns. When I first cashed that first paycheck, I entered into a social contract with The United States Government – specifically if I pay into the system for the next forty-five or fifty years, then after forty-five or fifty years of paying into the system the system will pay me back. I faithfully met my part of the contract, faithfully paid into the system.
Now the government wants to take away what I’ve paid for the past forty-one years, just nine years short of honoring its end of the social contract… to steal it from me and give to the bankers. Violate the social contract we entered into forty-one years ago. Rip me off, and give it to the bankers.
Be forewarned, take from me what I have in good faith paid into the system, and I will no longer consider myself a part of this country, nor bound to its laws, its standards or its mores. Rip me off, and I’ll rip a new asshole.
Michael Moore, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the cossacks work for the Czar.
This is a primary reason the Left is so dead and the Right is mobilized. Liberals in particular are joined at the hip with Obama and still can’t bring themselves to understand that he has no interests in them or their issues.
