Such observations are priceless, don’t you know?

The Mail describes a Britain that is batshit, racing headlong toward bugfuck, crazy.

Truth is stranger than fiction. Would you say that the Mail is sort of like the New York Post in a way? Or raggier, in that it has the whole celebrity slobber section?

‘Cause what is going down over here is headlong into bugfuck, led by the crazies. We are waste deep in it.

right up until they become howling savages.

Saw the story of 200 soldiers being welcomed home and greeted by some protesting musselmans. One of the pictures was of a native Brit, ready to kick some ass over the disrespect, being held back by a cop.

No doubt had he called them a name that hurt their widdle feewings, he would have been arrested.

Whereas the American attitude seems to be, “we bled real blood to put you bastards in office because you said you were different.”

Yeah, that’s what we Yanks say, but it’s all talk. Nobody here’s going to walk the walk, and the corrupt sons of bitches know it, which is why they go on doing what they do. There is no piper to pay. We’d rather watch American Idol and football and porn and Home Shopping Channel for God’s sake.

People keep saying Americans will only put up with so much, but personally, I don’t buy it, and will believe it when I see it. Obviously I am deeply, passionately cynical.

Brigette, too many people are too busy working jobs, paying bills, raising families, to risk losing said job to protest the people we send to D.C. to represent us, but go there and forget why they were sent.

They know too damned well. And one party in particular never pays the piper. No matter how corrupt they are, their constituents keep voting them in as payback for the few crumbs thrown their way. The media being just as corrupt and in their pocket, reporting a senator tapping his foot in a public john 24/7 to damage that particular party, but will not report which senators/government regulations are responsible for the housing collapse or their particular party’s many members being investigated for ethics violations.

Rangel, the tax cheat, who writes tax code, says at 2:33, don’t worry about what the middle class will do. They are too worried paying bills, taking care of families, to do anything about us robbing them blind.

The same Rangel, in response to being questioned about his paying 50% below market on several subsidized rentals, tax payer funded Cadillac, and unpaid taxes, tells us

“Why don’t you mind your own damned business.”

How come those types of statements from the corrupt, are not played 24/7 in the media?

I’m afraid most of their best breeding material was lost by the end of 1918; don’t know that they’ll ever recover from having their bravest, strongest, and most patriotic scattered in graves from India to France.

Perhaps the reason is, we’re just smaller?

i mean, getting from Texas to Washington to protest is a hell of a journey, but eben though we like to moan about our public transport system, it can move angry protesters to 10 Downing Street within a reasonable amount of time.

Of course, you can’t just turn up and protest off the cuff anymore, you have to have your protest agreed to by the police. So you’re still a lot freer than us!

The Mail is a lot like the Post, PnB, but even trashier. For example, they report plot lines on soap operas as if they were news stories involving actual people, which confused the living shit out of me for a while. Their stock in trade is really, really unflattering snapshots of celebrities.

On the other hand, they’re also the most reliably conservative rag in Britain at the moment (the supposedly conservative broadsheet, the Telegraph, has disappeared up its own asshole in recent years). It’s annoying the way conservatism and low-rent populism are often thrown together by publishers, but I guess they know their market. Meh.

So, the Mail doesn’t make shit up…and somebody needs to be out there digging up and publishing the worst-case scenarios. But the stuff they dig up isn’t typical by any means.

“disappeared up its own asshole”

You stole that from our current US administration,didn’t you?

[…] An American Stoat in King Arthur’s Realm muses on the relative corruption and incompetency of American and British politicians. […]

Obviously I am deeply, passionately cynical.

Hell, Brigette, if I wasn’t I’d go bonkers. Cynicism is the only thing that keeps me sane right now.

People keep saying Americans will only put up with so much, but personally, I don’t buy it, and will believe it when I see it.

I agree with Julia and PnB here… between work, school, family, friends, and the sheer distance between Arizona and DC – not to mention the cost of the trip – going right to the doorstep to protest is illogical. Most of us settle for “doing what we can”, which for the time being seems to be talking amongst ourselves, rallying with the likeminded, and stocking up on the necessities. (I still need to get around to buying a gun, before they run out/get outlawed. Though I have swords if push comes to shove… and going to the RenFest this weekend will likely soon have more.)

I think everyone has a trigger, some can just take more pressure than others. For now, very few people have had theirs pressed. The more liberal amongst us, the ones supporting this sham, aren’t even close. But I have no doubt that sooner or later Leper Messiah is going to overreach and tap the wrong person’s Shiny Red Button.

What’ll happen next? Go to any library and browse through both the history and fiction sections… countless possible scenarios. Won’t know for sure until it happens…

Nicholas, I am sure we will be seeing more of the ‘tea parties’ that have begun to spring up across the country. Note the one in CA, brought out 15,000.

Because most of us conservatives ‘work’, the next one in my area is scheduled on the Saturday in April, nearest tax day.
Though I hear the city is giving the coordinators the run-around about ‘the cost’….er…don’t think they have heard of the First Amendment and the whole freedom to peaceably assemble and something about redressing of grievances.

Their stock in trade is really, really unflattering snapshots of celebrities.

As long as it is people like Madonna…..heh.

I personally love the Mail with the heat of a thousand suns for pictures like Pamela Anderson’s cellulite laden arse.

I think voters in both countries have pretty much screwed the personal freedom pooch. We shall see whom pushes back first from the socialist wall, the Brits or us.

It doesn’t take flying to DC. God forbid these people should keep themselves informed about legislation, and send an e-mail to a Congressman once in a while, or even visit one or a state legislator in their office. Or organize a group visit to a legislator (state or national). They have time for Facebook and sitcoms and golf and computer games and whatever, but they don’t have time for the future of their country.

And money. They have money for movies and DVDs and music CDs and new clothes and shoes and electronic gadgets and booze and restaurants and whatever, but the idea of cutting a check in ANY amount to a candidate who represents their values…OMG, I can’t afford THAT.

I say this as someone who HAS made calls, who HAS donated money, who HAS tried to get involved even when I’m raising four little kids.

Fucking lazy-ass Americans. They deserve what they get — or rather, what they’ve got.

There was one in AZ a few weeks ago. I got to go. 😀
