"I've been around the ruling class all my life, and I've been quite aware of their total contempt for the people of the country" -Gore Vidal People never learn. If we can just get so-and-so in office…Clinton, Bush, Obama, Romney…then things will be different. They won’t. George Bush (the second one, who was more stupid and vicious than his father) once said he didn’t understand poor people. And this from a man who never had a job in his life. That shows a complete lack of imagination and empathy. It also shows a lack of brains. Or if he has any brains, he didn’t use them. Yet I’m heard people refer to Bush as “my President.” Talk about deluded. Obama has never had a job in his life. Romney wasn’t had one either. The born rich never do. They pretend they do, and even con some people they do, but they don’t. Obama was supposed to be Mr. Hope and Change. And if we can just get Romney in... People have been falling for the delusion that one man in power can get rid of all our problems since the human race has been around. Read the Old Testament sometimes and look at how rulers were described. Read the New Testament, too, for that matter, where Jesus referred to these people as vipers, ones who would steal the last penny of widows and orphans. Yet today our supposed religious leaders, such as the blasphemers John Hagee and Pat Robertson, put their faith in government and our political leaders. And their followers believe them. The blind leading the blind… Since people don’t know their history anymore, they know nothing about Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Alexander Hamilton. Jefferson trusted the people of this country to run their own lives, and was opposed to Adams and Hamilton. Adams and Hamilton believed a handful of people should run the country because they thought the average person was an idiot. In other words, they had total contempt for the people of the U.S. When Adams was President he got the Alien and Sedition Acts passed. He had people who made comments about him thrown in prison. Fortunately, when Jefferson succeeded him as President he revoked all of Adams’ laws. Adams and Hamilton today would have been close to being corporate fascists (the kind who now run this country). Thank God Jefferson and other people like him saw through the attempts of Adams and Hamilton to destroy this country. It’s just astonishing how people idealize their leaders, no matter what awful things they do. They voted Lincoln into office, and Woodrow Wilson, and FDR, and Kennedy (about whom Vidal said was the least qualified man he knew to be President), and both Bushes. Then Obama. And now, perhaps, Romney. And people will be disappointed again. Adams and Hamilton live on today. They are most politicians. Not all, but most. Where are the Thomas Jeffersons of today? They exist, but I don’t see any in office. In fact, if any of them ran for office most people wouldn’t believe what they said. That’s what comes from the ignorance of history. Vidal was right. The ruling classes have contempt for us. And most people can’t even see it. If they did they wouldn’t have risen up already.

good one T
Why shouldn't they have contempt for us? They've stabbed their followers in the back election after election for decades and people still rush to the voting booth to vote for them. Of course they have contempt! The American people as a whole deserve it. How can anyone have anything but contempt for a people who continuously bitch and moan about Congress and the two political parties and then vote for them anyway in order to "keep the other guy out?" Buffoonery and retardation at it's finest. Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over and break your window - unknown I WITHDRAW MY CONSENT! This is why 80% of the people in the U.S. should be euthanized or neutered. I sense a disturbance in the farce. Much gnashing will ensue.
The author has poor grammar.
Shut up, nerdette. I sense a disturbance in the farce. Much gnashing will ensue.
How does that read to you? It reads to me as the following: Romney was not had one either.

Neither description fits, imo. To me, it's cowardice and willful ignorance. They know, they see, they are scared shitless to give up their delusions. Ignorance really is bliss. Why else would they react with anger when facts are presented to them? You're trying to steal their bliss. ------------------------------------------ Whenever there's resistance, examine your motivation. Whenever there's flow, consider taking action.
It reads to me as the following: Romney was not had one either. Shut up, nerdette! In order to avoid being hoisted with his own petard, it may behoove poor Turtle to reduce his euthanized / neutered policy to somewhere nearer 55 - 60 per cent. After all, he's kind of fun to have around. Hmmm...I wondered why people often tell me, "You are VERY strange." I don't think I am, thought. It's everyone who's nuts! I sense a disturbance in the farce. Much gnashing will ensue.

Any perceived compliance with unconstitutional “laws” or orders put forth by government employees is NOT recognition of their authority; it is simply the result of carefully calculated submission to an entity exhibiting superior firepower.
