The Republican War On America - let's trademark it.
Why, you ask? Because of this... horrifyingly truthful quote from a "pillar of industry":
Let me give you one example to illustrate this point: in the course of my lecture business I meet a great many owners of small- and medium-sized companies -- precisely the men and women we depend upon to create jobs for all the rest of us. One evening, when my lecture to a group of these entrepreneurs had ended and we were all having a drink in the hotel bar, the CEO of a rock-solid manufacturing company said something that stopped the conversation cold: "I'll be damned before I start hiring people now, just in time to send the unemployment rate plunging so it re-elects the president next year. In a second term, this guy'll kill my business." There was a dead silence, and then every other business owner at the table nodded in agreement.
Emphasis mine
You know, I have to wonder how people can't read this and think, "Jesus H Christ, these fuckers really are that crazy! They'll bring us all down just so they can play their political games!"
Apologies to Jesus, and everyone else
So, the American people are just supposed to tough it out while these guys keep sitting on their trillion dollar piles of cash, just so they can get the scary socialist black man out of office?
These people have no love for America, their fellow man, or the teachings of Jesus. They have love for the false idol of cold hard cash, and nothing else.
Note 1: This isn't a polemic on religion or anything, I'm just sick of these people claiming to be Christian, but they can't even live the teachings- and actually do more harm with their disgusting greed!
Note 2: I know that there is a "War on Workers" already, but truly, these folks aren't just about enslaving the working class. They want to literally destroy America as we know it to build a laissez-faire oligarchy.
