Journal SPAM: Lee Iacocca Excoriates the Bush Administration 7
Mr. Iacocca, I have trolls who'd ask "when did you become a muslim?" That's O.K. The same dim-bulbs would have asked when you beccame a communist, just 10 or 15 years ago. This sort is stupid enough to celebrate the criminals that you so accurately identify.
Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course."
Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned Titanic. I'll give you a sound bite: Throw the bums out!You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore. The President of the United States is given a free pass to ignore the Constitution, tap our phones, and lead us to war on a pack of lies. Congress responds to record deficits by passing a huge tax cut for the wealthy (thanks, but I don't need it). The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we're fiddling in Iraq, the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving pom-poms instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of America my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?
I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have.

It all sounds so familiar.
While I see your JEs come down the firehose it seems that there's a devoted group of haters who watch the firehose like a hawk to vote mine down into a deep well almost before I click "

I mean Iacocca isn't exactly anti-capitalist or even that much of a bleeding heart.
His central question is one I've been asking for at least the past year. I'm hoping one of the various candidates for President shows he or she is a true leader. I also think this is why many are hoping Gore will jump in the race.
Indeed where the fuck have all the leaders gone?
