Funny how we see pictures and video of citizens gone wild in foreign countries and we hardly ever see that here, aside from the occasional person who "flips out" and goes on a rampage alone. And then the perpetrator is villified in the news as a whacko.

So when is it patriotic to "go wild?" Will there ever come a time when American citizens take to the streets to end the tyrrany and corruption that our government has denigrated into?

When is enough corruption enough?

Or does that mean we're so asleep at the wheel we don't even bother to "raise hell" when our leaders repeatedly and thoroughly rob us till we bleed?

Or maybe it's because we're tuaght to be civilized and are taught to accept the will of the whoever has the most money to buy our leaders?

When will the American people ever stand up and say enough? Or will most folks simply live with the totally ineffective system of voting to change masters, who are then bought and paid for, until we are little more than caged animals?

WHEN DO WE GET TO VOTE ON THE ISSUES, instead of choosing between lying con-artist politicians who'll sell us out to the highest bidder?

Or will we be law-abiding peaceful citizens no matter what evil, no matter what treachery, no matter what raiding of the Treasury and our pocketbooks, the government perpetrates upon us?

RECENTLY our leaders were bribed into voting for a bill bailing out the ultra-rich bankers, perhaps as much as 7 TRILLION DOLLARS (depending on which liar you listen to), even when the polls showed 70-90% of the people were ADAMANTLY against it.

What happened to the "will of the people?"

We'll probably end up in camps waiting in line for whatever food they offer, because we've been taught to be civilized.

Karl Rove and Diebold were obviously involved with this election...

I really fail to understand the importance of cell phone texting in this election.

I haven't read a single American Propagandist (AP) report that hasn't mention this as an issue, but why would the integrity of an election require uninterrupted cell phone texting? I always thought voting was an individual activity.

Dear Mr. Obama.

I have a quotation to ask you.

What is the difference between Nasrallah, and the two others Eahmadinejad & kim jong il?

I know, it is a very complicated question for your understanding capability, so, I will help.

The first one still hiding in his bunker, terrifying Israel will put her hands on him.
The two others invited to speech in UN or sign on silly agreements.

It is difficult to comprehend how a UFO like you, became to be the president of the USA.

Oh, do you know how UFO called in Hebrew? OBM.
Well, you are probably the most primitive version, Type A.

The only thing I understood in this entire comment was "terrifying Israel".

From the perspective of an American taxpayer forced involuntarily to feed this parasite state while it commits atrocities with impunity, "terrifying" seems to be a bit of an understatement though.

I was charging the foreign media with a propaganda campaign before Ahmadinejad.

Yes, it was that obvious.

Although, I have to admit, voter fraud that results in a 62 to 34% margin of victory is one hell of a bold and audacious achievement. I think they need to get Karl Rove and the Republican party over there to show them how its done.

I think Jimmy Carter and the Peanuts would serve its purpose.
He's Creamy and Crunchy

looks like voter fraud works there too.
