Demapublicans & Republocrats: Two sides of the same corrupt coin...

Face it, most of the elected "public servants' that supposedly serve their constituents in our nations Capital are bought and payed for by lobbyists.  Party ideology matters not to most of em. It's simply a vehicle to get their ass into office and set up on the public dole.

Want proof, I'll give ya proof:

The proposed 2009 Federal Budget relative to the 2008 Federal Budget.

Take the time to peruse that interesting illustration. While doing so, pay close attention to the percentage of gain or loss certain programs received. Keep in mind which programs, departments, etc. are "traditional" Republican(conservative) planks, and which ones are the "traditional" Democrat (liberal) planks.

So what did y'all see? Anything surprising? Anything get cut that you wouldn't expect to get cut given a Democratic controlled Congress and White House? Or did anything get raised that was surprising in given those same circumstances?

Let's just say, that if I was employed by a manufactured opinion outlet of any medium or ideological lean I would be set to craft my propaganda for the next 6 months from that illustration alone. Take an hour to gather some official corroboration and let the spin begin!

Unfortunately for the Citizens of this once great country what that illustration illustrates is this: WE THE PEOPLE ARE BEING USED AND ABUSED!

Sadly, most in this country are too stupid and brainwashed to comprehend that fact. They lap up the inane propagandist drivel that is fed to them and then go right on perpetuating the very system that oppresses them. 

Anyway, I welcome any and all comments. Please feel free to rant, rave, discuss, question or mock this post. That is until the new Cyber Czar shuts us down as a national security threat and sends us to prison. :-)  

I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to Heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.
