The People? Damn the People! You, the big cities of America elected them! Bastions of Democrats! The big cities brought the votes to the Democratic machine! Huge cities from east to west with your millions upon millions of welfare votes. With your millions upon millions of hand-out votes brought this narcissist to office, brought his self-serving uncaring administration to office to do not what you the people, you the cities that brought them to office want but to do as they want. Damn the people! "We", they say, "we know what’s best! Damn the stupid people." Shove their self-serving future vote getting theories down your throats. Force their idea of what medical care you are to receive down your throats. Damn the people! Throw you and your children and your children’s children into never ending debt. They say "lets try the admitted killers of thousands as your buildings collapsed. Damn the people! Give the admitted killers of thousands the same rights as you, the rights of you the people." Give the murderers the rights of you the people that brought this narcissist to office, that brought his self-serving uncaring administration to office. "You," they say, "you the people of the big cities we don’t give a damn what you think! We don’t give a damn what you want! Damn the people! We do what we want not what you, not what you the people want. Damn the people!" Yes, damn the people! But you, you that brought this narcissist to office, You, you that brought this self-serving uncaring administration to office, You hear them? You hear them now? We, we the people of America, We the people are reclaiming our country! ©May19, 2010 / Mark M Lichterman

I NEVER reply on political writings because we all feel differently and it is our freedom that enables us to have these feelings. I respect your right to freedom of speech.

I don't usually comment on political pieces, but your words are strong and powerful, Mark! Isn't it wonderful that our country affords us freedom of speech? And that means for everyone! Your friend, Lizzie

I think the narcissist left office in 2008. I'm not ashamed that I voted to try to bring change, and stop facist government. Those in the former admimistration deregulated everything, gave everything away to the rich and powerful and put this country where it was when Obama took office but their fans seem to want to rewrite history now and place the blame for the damnable condition of this country on the shoulders of the current president who did not cause this destruction. Am I damnable for wanting someone in office who would bring about change Mark? And don't forget the wars, the economic collapse, the major terror attack took place on George W. Bush's watch.

Powerful, Mark. Indeed, the weasels have hired a snake to guard the eggs in the hen house.

Easy big guy. The shit list is huge, multipartisan, and multidemographic. I don't care who you are, everybody wants a free lunch on some level but there ain't no such thing. One hand washes the other and they are all still dirty. Patrick

Millions of American People voted for a better way of life. Millions of American People voted to restore the U.S. Economy from the shambles it had been left in. Millions of American People voted to end the so-called wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. These people were the majority whether you like it or not, Mark. Get over it, already and quit being such a sore loser. Do you seriously think that The People want to go back to the failed policies of the previous administration which almost destroyed our beloved country? Stop being so ridiculous!
