Give me TV or give me a beer

I'm on a rant.

You definitely get the feeling that the Democrats haven't the slightest idea what they're doing. They capitulate to Bush at every turn. It takes the Republicans to keep an impeach Cheney motion alive in the House, while the Democrats do every thing they can to defeat it. Mukasey is sent to the Senate by two Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Bush is going to get every dime of Iraq war funding he asked for and more, without any strings attached. Bush already has gotten everything he wanted and more on FISA. Nobody is doing anything to restore habeas corpus or to give the innocent people in Guantanamo any access to any rights. And on and on and on. It's really depressing. Makes you almost think it just plain isn't worth doing anything about. Nobody cares. They'd rather watch the Simpsons on TV or vegetate in front of a football game on the screen.

Nobody hears the cry, "give me liberty or give me death" anymore. It's more like, "give me TV or give me a beer."

Rome went to hell because it's people got too fat and happy and lost interest in good governance. So it seems the same is happening to the US. Congratulations Osama, you took down the strongest country in the world with a single strike!
