So Now You Get Mad
This is a repost of an email forward making the rounds. Yeah, we liberals also have email forwards just like the conservatives, but with one major difference. Ours are not filled with lies.
We had eight yearsof Bush and Cheney, but now you 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 had her cover blown simply for contradicting Dick Cheney.
You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got 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 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq .
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 we didn’t catch Bin Laden.
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 we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.
You didn’t get mad when, using reconciliation; a trillion dollars of our tax dollars were redirected to insurance companies for Medicare Advantage which cost over 20 percent more for basically the same services that Medicare provides.
You didn’t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark, and our debt hit the thirteen trillion dollar mark.You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are 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… oh hell no.
AND NOW YOU’RE MAD !
Now, we are all led to believe that the Teabaggers are simply small government libertarian folk who oppose wasteful spending, want low taxes and want the governments off our backs. However, the litany of transgressions these supposed small government libertarian folk did not oppose exposed that as a lie. The teabaggers are angry for the one of three reasons (and it may be a combination of two or all of the above): 1) A Republican is not President; 2) A Democrat is President; 3) A black man is President.
I think the three reasons are fundamentally correct. To that I would add confused old people looking for something to do.
I would also add: 4)Someone on TV or radio told them they should be mad. But to be fair, likely 1, 2, or 3 had already made them susceptible to 4.
I think 4) is really common. Just look at the case of the Florida urologist who announced he wouldn’t treat Obama voters but couldn’t name what he was against in the health care bill.
….but but, but. Clinton got a blow job! There now this thread is pre-wingnutized. No need to point out that Bush gets a pass on all the effed up shit he did because a Democrat got a blow job.

All that sign proves is that you don’t understand teabagging, either. You really don’t want to do that with someone who a) doesn’t like you and b) has teeth.
That’s OK, though. You can still fellate each other.
Dear Employees
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President, and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn’t know how to choose who would have to go.
So, this is what I did.
I walked through our parking lots and found sixty ‘Obama’ bumper stickers on our employees’ cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change…… I gave it to them.
I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.
THE BOSS
emial stories are fun.
And the remaining Republican employees immediately voted to cancel their health care and pensions, invest in offshore operations they can’t afford, and authorize a massive bond issue to cover expenses, and threaten to kill their CEO just for good measure.
The company then went out of business, because that’s what happens when you lay off 80% of the IT department.
Conservative fantibation about selfishness and revenge/hero killings are FUN too!
