I just found this today. Cannot confirm who first came up with it but will not deny or argue with it. It has been floating around the Internet for a while with slightly different permutations. This may be the original.
Oh, hell no!
I've seen so many anti Obama rhetoric e-mails come to my PC since he was
elected about eleven months now. Here is the other side’s rhetoric. What do you
think?
We had eight years of Bush and Cheney, Now you get mad!
You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and
appointed a President.
You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate
energy policy.
You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got ousted.
You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.
You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said
illegal war.
You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq .
You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.
You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
You didn't get mad when we let a major US city drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.
You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.
You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America
deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies,
corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all
okay with you, but helping other Americans... oh hell no.
I wish I had thunk that one up.
And Oh yes, Have a nice Day?

Caveat Lectores on Even More Insanity
Why do working people vote for RePuPlicans and follow right wing conservative tea baggers like lemmings over a cliff when doing so is against their interests? It beats the f**k outta me.
In Florida, we have a RePuPlican legislature that would not be in power if it were not for public employees, other working people and retirees who perennially vote for them. The current legislature is committed to harming us, each and every one. This statement applies to most of the other state governments, as well.
There are some really good people who belong to the RePuP party and run for office. All Rs are not bad. Unfortunately, it is more fashionable for many to identify with what the R party claims it stands for, therefore, the Rs continue to be a force in politics.
RePuPs have done a much better job than the Democraps, until recently, of claiming to be the party of family, religion, low taxes. You name it and the Rs seem to have staked the claim for it. I say that the only reason the Dems took the White House and Congress was because G.W. Bush and the Neo-cons were so terrible at governing. The Ds did not win. The Rs lost.
Finally, enough people could get themselves together on the same day to vote in enough non-RePuPs to force a change. What we ended up with is uncertain. The uninformed right wing zealotry still makes a lot of noise and seems to be more numerous than maybe they really are. I say uninformed because they remain blissfully ignorant of any facts that will not sustain the opinions they gained from drinking the right wing kool-aid. Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and company are like gods to those who want instant sound bites that establish a reason to be against progress. The remaining Rs and the right wing pundits have a genius for tapping into the fears of the citizenry.
If we are to believe the right wing noise, the Dems are a bunch of socialist, Marxist communist, fascist, homosexual loving demons intent on destroying the American way of life by taxing the people into submission, while taking the guns needed to sustain a defense against a tyrannical foreign born, Islamic President who wants to deliver the whole county to the terrorists by demanding that insurance companies offer health insurance to every man, woman and child who lives here.
Apparently, it is impossible to be a patriot unless you swear allegiance to a Christian god (?) who wants to make sure only Americans of proper ancestry have access to the benefits of society. Your patriotism must include a desire to dismantle the same government that provides any service you do not want or believe others should enjoy.
What is the point? I got it out of my system. That is the point. Now I will go back to work.
And Oh yes, have a nice Day?

Caveat Lectores on PF (political fairness)
Let’s get real here. Why is the Florida Democrat party so incensed about the spending habits of the RePuPlicans?
Simply put, it is none of their (my) business. If the right wing, socially and economically conservative, political base wants to donate large amounts of their personal and corporate wealth for the RePuPlican leadership to spend on high living , personal expenses and visits to sado/masochistic titty bars, what right do I, as a Democrat, have to complain. It’s not my money. Caveat Lectores does not donate money to the RePuPs. WTF.
Isn’t that what being part of the privileged class is all about? Pander to the uninformed masses and those who really do not know the score; take their money; then screw them further by wasting the money and legislating against their best interests. (Actually, a lot of the money was donated by the rich and corporations who expect a certain amount of excess.)
Why is this a scandal? Why should the government investigate for criminal activity? Could it be because money used for personal expenses and non-political purposes should have been reported to the IRS for tax purposes?
Maybe Alex Sink and others do have more than political gain in mind. I doubt it but hope the Ds are squeaky clean because somebody will be looking into the spending habits of the Ds before this is over.
And Oh Yes, have a Nice Day?

Caveat Lectores on Friendship and Love
The Florida legislature is in session. Nobody is safe. The same is true elsewhere.
It is very important that public employees pay close attention to what is happening and keep careful notes of who is in favor of public employees and who is not. It is not as simple as just looking at who voted for what. You must identify the drivers of this out of control train.
Once you have fully identified who seeks to break your back, destroy your careers and will continue to do so if allowed. Here is what you must do.
Make the m*th*r f*ck*rs pay! Make them suffer! Make them get a job elsewhere!
If there is anything about that you do not understand, give me a call and I will explain in more graphic terms.
Usually, I take a kinder and gentler approach to political action. But no more until somebody gets the right idea about how to treat public employees.
And Oh yes, Have a nice day?
