Pioneering White House correspondent Helen Thomas told a National Press Club audience Dec. 7 that the country is endangered by what she called government leaders' greed, fear, and subservience to war-mongers.
“I came here in 1943,” she told a dinner audience of 30, “and I don’t think I’ve ever seen our country so bereft of ideals and ideas. I don’t see anything on the horizon that can pull us out. I hope I’m wrong.” Shown at left in a 2009 photo courtesy of Wikipeda, she described current leaders as weak and selfish. The self-described liberal doled out criticism to all sides. “Republicans,” she said, “have one goal: To get Obama. But when they see the country falling apart, that’s all they can do?"
“As for Obama,” she continued, “I think he’s weak. He has no courage.” She said the country urgently needs “a stand-up guy who’ll do the right thing.” What are some examples?
“The first priority should be jobs.” Also, “Make people pay their taxes, and stop the wars.” She estimated at least 700 U.S. military bases around the world. “We’re killing all of these people [in undeclared wars]. Why? Is it any surprise that people will fight back for their country? There’s no doubt we want to eliminate Iran. Why wouldn’t they want to defend themselves?”

AHHH Holy What the.....
How come no one has ever asked a liberal to describe what their values and morals are.
The best question I ask my liberal friends is, “How come conservatives are proud to say they are conservatives, but liberals have to deflect from admitting they are liberals?”
It ticks them off to no end. Then I am called a racist.
“I came here in 1943,” she told a dinner audience of 30, “and I don’t think I’ve ever seen our country so bereft of ideals and ideas.”
What Thomas doesn’t realize is that she was a major contributor to the lack of ideals.
Pig.
IT LIVES??? I could have sworn she was dancing in the flames.
“Everything’s going down the drain !”
The ugly socialist crone may get her wish; except that the “revolution” might not end in her favor. The democrat party should have been outlawed in 1865, its leadership north and south hanged, and anyone espousing the democrat party line stripped of citizenship and sent packing over the borders.
MY EYE’S MY EYE’S
Let me give the old battleaxe a huge clue...it isn't going to be the OWS retards who win that revolution. They are going to be the first ones against the wall, as it were.
