"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
--Teddy Roosevelt

Obama and his Dick (Cheney)
by Mickey Z
Since we habitually choose denial instead of rebellion, our willingness to play along at home by, for example, analyzing the subtle nuances that differentiate Obama from his Dick makes us heinous criminals, too. When things are as bad as they are now, there's more than enough guilt to go around.
Just about everything about US and global culture (e.g. raping the environment, the propaganda machine, avaricious materialism, insatiable military conquest, sexism, homophobia, racism, patriarchy, etc.) adds up to death and destruction. Yet we - the species with the allegedly superior cognitive skills - opt to spend our time getting worked up over Obama debating his Dick.
Joe votes Republican. Joann votes Democrat. Nothing changes.
Jane loves Sean Hannity. John adores Jon Stewart. The planet remains in peril.
Joann and John think Obama's plan is the cat's meow. Joe and Jane agree with Dick. Big picture: It makes no difference at all.
