My fellows Americans, here are your tax dollars at work.

The criminal murders of hundreds of innocent children in Gaza are war crimes. Where are the American right to lifers? Aren't these babies, too? You, the American taxpayer, enabled these crimes. There must be justice for these children and their families. Israel is a nation of war criminals. They are the new Nazis. Israel was founded on acts of terrorism and war crimes. The Zionists are some of the worst people in the world. While the Jewish people deserve a homeland safe from the possibility of any Holocaust, they don’t have the right to do this. They have become the people who tried to wipe their people from the earth. They must be stopped. There is no other way.

The Time of the Righteous by Gideon Levy

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1054158.html

For ex-President George W. Bush and ex-Vice President Dick Cheney and most who served in Bush’s criminal administration, there must be justice. They committed war crimes and must be brought to justice. They are responsible for the deaths of thousands of young American men and women and countless Iraqi and Afghan men, women and children based on lies. They must be put in prison as the common criminals they are. Dick Cheney and his companies profited from the wars he started and that money should be repaid to the US government. There is no other way.

W. and the Damage Done by Vincent Rossmeier and Gabriel Winant

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2009/01/08/damage/

For the hundreds of Wall Street executives who took money from the US taxpayers, hard-earned money that the US government doesn’t even have, and used it to redecorate their offices and go on expensive retreats and pay outrageous bonuses to people who basically drove their companies and with them the American and thus the global economy into the ditch. They must be brought to justice. There is no other way.

What should be a joyous celebratory time as a new president, the first Afro-American president, has taken over from the disastrous catastrophe of the last eight years; it is instead a time filled with grave danger and important litmus tests. It’s not President Obama’s fault. It’s the fault of every goddamned one of you stupid Americans who pulled the lever or marked the box that put George W. Bush in power, twice. Shame on you and shame on the disaster you’ve brought to your country. There is blood on your hands and there is a bleak economic future awaiting your children. It’s your fault.
