If You’re Not Mad You’re Not American

By BILL KORTZ FOR SENATE

“Am I the only guy in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening? Where the hell is our outrage? I’ll go a step further.

We’re running the biggest deficit in the history of the country. We’re losing the manufacturing edge to Asia, while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy. Our schools are in trouble. Our borders are like sieves. The middle class is being squeezed every which way.

The most famous business leaders are not the innovators, but the guys in handcuffs”.

– Lee Iacocca, Where Have All the Leaders Gone? (2007)

Where the hell is the outrage, indeed, Mr. Iacocca!

Allow me to add an observation of my own. The guys on Wall Street should trade in their pinstriped suits for prison stripes, and be joined by the enablers in Washington who were de-facto partners in the greatest rip off In U.S. history. As far back as 1998, our elected officials took huge sums of money in campaign contributions and then turned a blind eye when they were warned that this economic meltdown was coming. Guess who was at the front of the line, whistling past the graveyard with his hand out? That’s right: Republican U.S. Senator Arlen Specter!

The scam has come full circle, with Arlen Specter and his cronies now voting to bail out these pinstriped criminals with hundreds of billions of your tax dollars. Where was your bailout? Oh, that’s right. They tossed you a few crumbs to keep you quiet — a $250 stimulus check.

Don’t let them buy your silence!
You cannot call yourself an American if you’re not outraged!

Mr. Iacocca also said “You don’t get anywhere sitting on the sidelines”, and I agree. Please join me in sending a message to Wall Street and Washington. Join me in dethroning Arlen Specter.
