And the beat(ing) goes on


The transformation from the United States of America into the Corporate States of America continues as a three-member panel of judges in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled against the moratorium against offshore drilling.
It's another victory for corporate America as the people of United States get dumped on again.
In particular, the people of the deep south get dumped on yet again after BP ruined the Gulf of Mexico with their negligence that resulted in the WORST EVER oil spill disaster in the history of the United States.
Hell, the judges and representatives in Congress ought to just put on corporate patches much like the NASCAR drivers do.
That's what America has come to...
Judges ruling on cases involving oil companies when said judges have deep seated interests in oil, whether its investments in the oil industry or some other involvement in the field.
This follows up with the fact that another judge recently ruled in favor of big oil and it was duly noted that judge also has ties to big oil.
And of course, there was the infamous United States Supreme Court decision involving "citizens united" that declares corporations are individuals and can therefore donate endless sums of money to the candidates of their choosing and thus impact our national elections.
Hmmmmm.
The founding fathers fought against "corporate" tyranny when the American revolution took place and the United States was born some 234 years ago.
As a citizen of the United States, it is hereby declared hence that we are no longer a country "by the people, of the people and for the people", we have become a nation (as Abraham Lincoln so prophetically declared in 1864 would eventually happen) "by the few, of the few and for the few."
It is the opinion here that all of these judges mentioned above should be permanently disbarred and tossed from their jobs.
Maybe then they might know what it is like for millions of Americans who are unemployed and made to blame for it by the arrogance of greedy politicians who continue to kiss the collective asses of the ruling corporations.
