__________________________________________________________________ We The People 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! ©October 29, 2012 / Mark M Lichterman

Mark, I remember seeing a newsreel of Goebbels standing on a pile of rumble in bombed out Berlin. He was addressing seven German citizens. He was telling them that Luftwaffe bombers just bombed New York City and the allies were being pushed back into the sea. Four of the citizens had looks on their faces that said....Are You Nuts...The other three had big smiles of cheer. It kind of explains Obama 40% approval rating don't it.

Not your best rhyme nor reason nor rationality with this, Mark; but I find it one of your best fiction works :o(

I'm with Steve and Tom on this. I'm beginning to get quite alarmed at the polarization of American society over the political landscape. The characterizations I'm reading are extreme and unwarranted. We are hurting and we are in a prolonged recession caused by two very expensive wars and by greedy characters running financial institutions to benefit their own personal wealth. From the very beginning, we were a progressive country, throwing out our king before France and finally abolishing slavery in 1865. Abolishing child labor by the end of the nineteenth century and finally giving women voting rights by 1920. We survived a more severe depression that took twenty years to recover from and greater debt than we see now. We passed laws to protect labor from abusive business owners who took advantage of waves of new immigrants with unlivable wages. We finally gave American blacks somewhat equal citizenship in 1965 and disabled persons like me some opportunity to work with the ADA in 1992. Time marches on and progress continues. We cannot turn back the tide of time, we can only progress to the future the way we always have. We the people have a choice. And we the people can and will vote. The future will will be brighter than the past, especially if we are fair and do the right thing with everyone, worldwide, and stop trying to be a parochial nation, isolated from the rest world by our superiority complex.

You have spoken your piece and you have done it well, Mark! Vote the bum out of office and let sound reasoning once again rule in America; it will take a long time to undo the damage Obama has done, perhaps as many as 10-15 years. America is strong and she will not stand by and become a socialist country... unless Obama is reelected and overrules our country and if he is, God take pity on us ALL! Wonderful, powerful words, my friend.

MARK...

A MORE APT TITLE MIGHT BE "WE THE PEOPLE, AS SPOKEN BY A BRAINWASHED, FORGETFUL RIGHTWING REPUBLICAN" ...

8 YEARS OF BUSH & HIS NEO-NAZI CONSERVATIVES UNCARING NARCISM IS WHAT BROUGHT AMERICA AND 'WE THE PEOPLE' TO OUR KNEES!

TWO TRILLION DOLLARS AND TWO WARS CHARGED ON PLASTIC WEAKENED OUR ECONOMY BEFORE OBAMA WAS EVEN ELECTED!!!

'CONVENIENT MEMORIES' SHOULD BE THE EPITAPH OF 'THE PARTY OF NO' !!!

SELF-CENTERED SELF-SERVING 'RICH BITCHES' LIKE CHENEY AND HALIBURTON'RAPED' OUR PENTAGON BUDGET MAKING BILLIONS THRU THEIR WAR-MONGERING EFFORTS, PUSHING HIGH-PRICED ICE-CREAM DOWN THE THROATS OF OUR AMERICAN SONS AND DAUGHTERS!

THEN, TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY - 'THEY' AND PEOPLE LIKE 'YOU' TOTALLY IGNORED THE WORST CASE OF "PTSD" IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY - CAUSING A BACKLOG OF OVER ONE MILLION VETERANS WHO NEEDED, AND LITERALLY BEGGED FOR HARD-EARNED BENEFITS!

THE MORTGAGE FAILURES, WALL STREET 'BAIL-OUTS, FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC FIASCOS, DUE TO 'DE-REGULATION' AS WELL AS THE 'SUB-PRIME BUNDLING' BULL-SHIT... AND GREEDY CORPORATE RISKS IN CAPITAL ... ALL THESE AND MORE WERE PERPETRATED ON BUSH'S WATCH !!! BUSH, CHENEY, ROWE, AND ALL THE REST OF THE "NEO-CONS' SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROSECUTED ... AND THEN ... HUNG !!!

"WE THE PEOPLE" ... THE LITTLE PEOPLE, AND MIDDLE INCOME TRUE AMERICANS, YOU KNOW, THE 47% OF 'DEAD-BEATS' ARE COMING BACK WITH A VENGENCE ON NOVEMBER 6TH !!!

I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT 'MR. CEO' ROMNEY AND ALL THE REST OF THE "RICH BITCHES" WILL EVER RECOUP CONGRESS FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS OR MORE !!!

AS THEY SAY IN 'TEXAS HOLDEM' ... "READ 'EM AND WEEP" !!!

OH - ALMOST FORGOT ... REGARDING HEALTHCARE ...
GOD BLESS OBAMACARE !!! LET THE DAMNED GREEDY INSURANCE COMPANIES, AND 'BIG PHARMA' KISS OUR ROYAL PEOPLE'S ... ASSES !!!

MARK ... WAKE UP ... AND SMELL THE AWFUL OFFAL !!!
ALL CAUSED BY "THE PARTY OF THE RICH" ... ELITISTS BE DAMNED !!!
