Say What?

A friend of mine posted something last night about how you can't raise up the poor by taking money away from the rich in taxes.  Well, that's just not true.  It's how we do it in this country.  The Public Works Administration, and all the other projects during the depression that made our roads and trails in our National Parks, and countless other projects were a big reason we got OUT of the depression.

My mother always said PWA didn't stand for Public Works Administration, it meant, "Papa Works Again".

So I posted back to him:  "With your taxes, you buy society."

And I truly believe that.

His response?  "Then I want a refund, cause society is broken."

OH, HELL NO!  You cannot get away with that bullshit!

You right wing nuts are all about, "America First!"  American Exceptionalism.  "Love it or leave it!"  "MY country, right or wrong!"  "Our Constitution is Divinely Inspired!"  And all that jazz.

And while the idiot child of the Royal Family Bush was in charge, if any of us people with an education and a conscience said, "We should not go to war against any countries that didn't attack us".
You screamed, "You are part of the, "Hate America First" crowd!"

If we said, "There is no link between Iraq and 9-11" we were not patriotic!

If we said, "Bush is lying" we didn't respect the President!

If we said, "We would be better off with a national health care plan like the rest of the industrialized world, and it would keep jobs home instead of sending them overseas."  We're, "Socialists!"

If you really believe that, The Constitution is, "Divinely Inspired" meaning the word of, God.  Why do you keep trying to amend it to keep it from letting you impose your religiously based government and laws on the rest of us?  I mean if, God said it, who the fuck are you to try to change it?

Nope, I'm not letting you get away with it.

Either this is the greatest country and society in the history of the world, even when we elect a Black guy you hate, and things aren't going your way.  Or you need to shut the fuck up and live with the fact you lost the last election, and realize that sometimes?  YOU LOSE!  Even if you think God is on your side.

By the way.  God doesn't exist.

But society does.  Live with it.

And while you're at it?  Quit bringing your assault rifle to the mall, just to prove a point.  You do that when I'm in the mall?  I'm going to assume you mean harm and take out my concealed weapon and fill you full of holes before I have to ask you any questions about your motive.  After all, it's not required that I do.  And now that I'm a RETIRED Cop?  I don't even have to say, "POLICE, PUT DOWN THE GUN!"  I can just light you up.

Think about it.
