You Don’t say?? really?? oh well… :

Reporting from Washington
Lets see here… so far we have Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Rahm Emanuel, Robert Gates. All of them have been in Washington a long time, and all except Biden have been in involved with previous administrations.
CHANGE!!! CHANGE HAS COME!!!
Yeah, the fact that he’s trying to put Hillary in the cabinet is an absolute joke. Meet the new boss…same as the old boss. As always, nothing changes.
Well…back to ignoring the government again…

^Now go get that car door fixed!
Oooo, more fear-mongering…how refreshing…
^When does it cease to be fear mongering and is actually reality??
^maybe when he is actually in office and makes a slip up, then go ape shit all you want… nothing detrimental to American society happened overnight because his elected cabinet appointees.
That don’t make no kinda sense.
I think you mean “when does the fear-mongering become a reality”? The answer is “when it does”. All these “facts” you post seem to have a purpose, to instill fear by way of illuminating as few facts and as much speculation into others motives as possible.
Dude, no offense, seriously, but it’s always the same with you. You talk about the lack of change and hidden agendas. Well, what are you dishing out? The same old conspiratorial rhetoric, and you do it with (anybody?) an agenda of your own, whatever that may be. Do you see the irony?
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts…
^Not that I would insult thnkfrstpal by assuming he requires defending, which I believe he doesn’t, I for one never saw his basic message as being anything but consistent and only sometimes conspiratorial or steeped in rhetoric. Most of the time, except possibly when being challenged, his arguments are well thought out and fairly substantially supported.
I think our brother’s message has always been about the corruption of the political and cultural systems in this country, and his warnings are a reminder to be vigilant of the hypocrisy of all “sides” of the mainstream hype.
There are distinct psychological methods being employed by the players within the system to polarize your thinking based in defining fear and loathing for the “other side”. It preys upon the emotional proclivity for the average thinking person to believe what isn’t bad must automatically be good or at least better, when in reality nothing is often further from the truth. Assuming automatic trust for any of these national figures is a mistake, at any stage of the game. They all need to watched as suspiciously as possible, for so much of what they do for and against the people they serve, is mostly accomplished cloaked in secrecy and deception.
I think his concern for Obama’s cabinet choices is warranted. These appointments are the political payoffs for that 850 billion dollars he collected, not necessarily because any of these people are deserving or even remotely capable of implementing any of the promises he made to the silly people who believed his lies over McCain’s. The game is still the game, the system has not changed, nor will it under the normal circumstances of the election process.
Divorce the emotion that you’ve directed at Bush for so long, and then invested in Obama as redemption, otherwise you will be blinded to the same shit that so many ‘neocons’ were when Bush was elected. This ain’t the Superbowl, and your team didn’t win, and thnkfrstpal is only attempting to offer the same view you accepted so readily when Bush was the object of his scorn.
^^It makes sense to me. I purposefully worded it that way FYI.
I was hoping he’d appoint Bernadine Dohrn as Secreatry of State and Bobby Seale as Minister of Information. I guess he’s not the radical revolutionary he made himself out to be.
