Cloned indoctrobots without a brain. It's like a borg invasion.
I'm not sure about the 7,000 figure, but the fella does have a point. But one of the most important is that the guy at the top is influental in setting the tone of the country. ...and there IS a new tone in Washington. You just have to listen hard to hear it above the vulgar din caused by the democrat party.
The best most of can acheive is to simply get over on the bastards.
There isn't one to be had.
But they squeel so loud it's hard to hear anything else. Turn on the TV, and all you hear is their snorts and squeels for more slop.
It is a sad state of affairs, more than half the registered voters in the U.S. don't vote as a direct result of the betrayal of the public trust by our elected and appointed officials.
Our Presidential candidates are so mediocre that presidential elections are won only by a couple of hundred votes, (depends on who is doing the counting).
Stealing federal tax dollars is a high stakes game, whoever controls the White House has unrestricted access to billions of U.S. dollars.
The Democratic Party and Republican Party are like two organized crime syndicates, having on-going turf wars to see who gets to be the Godfather for the next four or eight years.
The Capos are all the U.S. Government lawyers, U.S. Attorneys,federal judges etc. acting in concert with lawyers in the private who decide whether or not it is in the best interest politically or financially of either of the two crime syndicates to enforce the "Rule of Law" or the U.S. Constitution.
The Soldiers are the FBI that provide the muscle to promote, protect and facilitate any type of political corruption the organized crime syndicates desire to engage in.
I don't see how.
Honesty, fidelity, thrift, hard work, diligence, and other positive character traits are known as "middle-class values". This is because they are so uncharacteristic of the upper class.
If these 7,000 positions were awarded the way they are in, say, Saudia Arabia -- where your family name is 'Saud' or you don't get the job -- I suppose this fellow wouldn't sound like such a whiny loser. He talks about "elites" as though these folks just aren't like you and me, because it's impossible to crack through the Invisible Wall and get one of those 7,000 jobs unless you're one of them. Oh, horsefeathers. Our very own World's Richest Man is a college dropout. The previous president of the United States -- may he rot in Hell -- grew up in such decidedly poor surroundings that even today people refer to him as "white trash." Yeah, we have a few families that the media like to wave in front of us as some sort of hereditary nobility, but so what? To walk around thinking that opportunity in America is closed to all but a select few is the dumbest, most self-defeating claptrap I can imagine. Elites, schmelites. |
Slick may have been born white trash, but he spent decades at major universities and working within the democrat hiarchy to get where he got. What that got him and his wife, was influence over the media, and hence, the rest of us via the useful idiots who followed them.
The rest of us, who were more interested in making a buck, or in enjoyable professions like my own byte mashing, have little or no influence. That's not to say that had I chose to gain influence, I could not have. But I don't have it now, whether or not I deserve it as some kind of "right" is errelevant. The bottom line is, some number of people, maybe somewhere around 7000 of them, control the country. And I'm at their mercy.
