CIVIL WAR!!!!!
CIVIL WAR - INTRA-TEABAGGER WARFARE: It’s Paultards/Randians/Truthers/Seceshes/’Libertarians’ Vs. ‘Astroturfers’/GOP Leadership/Hannititties/Fat Cats/Gingrichians/Santelliosos/Fox News/Dick’s Armey…??…!
Matt Taibbi: "It pains me to say this as an American, but we are the only people on earth dumb enough to use a nationwide campaign of “teabag parties” as a form of mass protest, in the middle of a real economic crisis. What’s next? The Great Dirty Sanchez-In of 2010? A Million Man Felch? (Insert Rusty Trombone joke here)."

Paul Krugman: "The tea parties are at least in-part "AstroTurf," or a fake grassroots movement, manufactured by "right-wing billionaires. In particular, a key role is being played by FreedomWorks, an organization run by Richard Armey, the former House majority leader, and supported by the usual group of right-wing billionaires. And the parties are, of course, being promoted heavily by Fox News."

Then the powers-that-be will be able to continue pickpocketing us for years to come.

Do you expect me to believe all this CRAP??? COME ON!!! And then there's a coordinated media blitz by the neo-cons, saying we have to increase military spending because of the pirates. COME ON!!! Why are Kristol and Bolton on TV all the time as 'experts' on everything???"
While the pirates story has dominated the corporate media, there has been little to no discussion of the root causes driving piracy.
