Liberal Hippy Politics, is a concept that faded into history during the late 70s or early 80s after hitting its peak around 1972.
The hippy political movement was an anti-establishment force that was organized by anti-war college students. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was the first presidential candidate supported by the hippies and George McGovern was the last major hippy supported candidate in 1972.
During the 70s, the hippies grew up and became yuppies and supported moderate mainstream candidates like Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

There are several kinds of walmart victims:
1.) A small town business that is devastated when walmart comes to town. When walmart comes to town, the small family-owned stores are often driven out of business.
2.) Workers that lose their jobs when walmart's pro-china policies force companies to move factories to China to keep costs down. The money grubbing scum now running walmart have a "low prices at any cost" policy that costs America 1000s of jobs every year.
Sam Walton (walmart founder) would be horrified by this pro-china bullshit! Walton used to brag about his pro-America business policies and the jobs they created! My how times have changed!
3.) People who manage to keep their jobs are often forced to accept lower wages with the threat of their company moving to China.
4.) Taxpayers everywhere that have to pay more in state taxes to cover the taxes walmart avoids (see walmart tax)
5.) CD, DVD and even books that are censored for sale at walmart (see walmartized)

Many American workers become walmart victims when their employers are pressured (threatened) by Walmart to move operations to China to "cut costs."
The huge buying power of the walmart empire has the power to ruin a business if it doesn't comply with their demands and their victims are powerless to fight it!

People who have supported Barack Obama as a candidate and as President.
1.) Voters in 2008 who were smart enough to realize that after 8 years of destructitive behavior from the Bush Administration, we needed a drastic change to restore America to its former glory. These people also were smart enough to know that if John McCain was elected he would continue to lead us on the same disastrous path as Bush43 . These people voted for Obama.
2.) From the time he took office in January 2009, Obama has been working hard to repair the damage Bush caused to our economy and our standing in the global community.
These things take time and patience. Obama's supporters know this and want to help him continue to work for all of us. In the tough times in 2009-2010, some people are wondering about Obama's plans, and wonder why the Bush Depression is lasting so long. His patient supporters still know they made the right choice in 2008. They know it takes time to fix the historic clusterfuck Bush left behind! l

Obama Supporters and working hard to combat the lies, obstructions, and all the bullshit spewing from bushnesiac Obama haters and Obama blamers. They know, no matter how bad things are in 2010, if Republicans would have won in 2008 we'd all be in much worse shape!

The eight long years from Jan. 20, 1981-Jan. 20,1989. The Republican president, Ronald Wilson Reagan worked hard as commander in chief in the war on the middle class. The heinous eCONomic policy called "trickle down economics" or Reganomics cut taxes on the big businesses and the rich. This shifted the tax burden to the middle class and tripled the national debt. Dennis Miller described "trickle down" best when he acknowledged this truth: "they admit it-- they're gonna piss on you!"
Along with the terrible eCONomic policy, Ronald Reagan worked to destroy unions (remember air traffic controllers' strike?) During the Reagan Administration, the U.S. backed Saddam Hussein during his war with Iran and helped to establish the Taliban to help Afganistan fight off the Soviet Union. (Funny how the G.O.P. changed course on this)

Overall, the Reagan Administration was an awful, inept or just plain evil bunch of crooks. The bad effects of this era are still haunting us 20 years later.
The fact that theRepublican Party idolizes Reagan today is mind boggling!

American Institute of Greed (formerly know as American International Group)
One of those heinously corrupt organizations that takes money grubbing scum to new levels!
These bastards took more than $160Billion in government bailout money and then gave top executives more than $160Million in bonuses! What kind of shithead would give multimillion dollar bonuses to the fuckwits that drove the company into the ground?!

A weak movement trying to make a statement about the bad practices at BP (a.k.a. British Petroleum)
Boycotting BP to protest their oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is a lot more logical than the fuckwitted "boycott France movement of 2001-2006. France was right and made the responsible choice to not participate in George w. Bush's Iraq War.

A non-profit, member owned financial institution. Unlike banks, Credit Unions are not out to rip off their customers with a fee for every little thing they do.
Credit Unions usually have better rates on loans, savings accounts and CDs.
Greedy banks are out to squeeze every dime out they can from their customers and make obscene profits. They think Credit Unions have an unfair advantage because of their non-profit tax-exempt status. If banks were not so greedy and corrupt and treated their cutomers right, they would not need to fear competition!

After putting up with years of abuse from my bank, I switched to the local Community Credit Union. Now I have free checking, free atm card and a lot less hassle!
