MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan is mad as hell about the U.S. financial crisis--and he's not gonna take it anymore!
While convening a roundtable discussion on the market meltdown on his eponymous MSNBC show on Tuesday, Ratigan exploded.
"We've got a real problem!" an exasperated Ratigan shouted. "This is a mathematical fact! Tens of trillions of dollars are being extracted from the United States of America. Democrats aren't doing it, Republicans aren't doing it. An entire integrated system, financial system, trading system, taxing system, that was created by both parties over a period of two decades is at work on our entire country right now. And we're sitting here arguing about whether we should do the $4 trillion plan that kicks the can down the road for the president for 2017, or burn the place to the ground, both of which are reckless, irresponsible, and stupid."
"I'm sorry to lose my temper," he continued. "But, I tell you what, I've been coming on TV for three years doing this, and the fact of the matter is that there's a refusal on both the Democratic and the Republican side of the aisle to acknowledge the mathematical problem, which is that the United States of America is being extracted."
Later, on the show's website, Ratigan called it his "epic 'Network' moment."
The clip of the entire rant is worth watching, which you can (and should) do.
The Superman president concept. We don't have a superman in the WH. Kennedy and Reagan came closest to that.
We need a president with integrity and guts, who's just crazy enough to try fighting the establishment via a direct appeal to the people. Ron Paul has the integrity and is probably crazy enough, not sure if he has the guts. It also takes a special kind of ability, or stage presence, to get the people of the US on your side and keep them there during the tough transition to a Constitutional Republic. Reagan and Kennedy had it. Note that both were shot.
Such a president would be fighting the MSM and both parties. He'd have to have massive public support to pull it off. Tea Party+++
Based on your post, one of the problems with some folks is that you want spectacular presentation without understanding the contents of the message. It is difficult to manage the multivariate elements of requirements for America, however and to achieve perfect presentation while really directing a message is nearly impossible. And that is why America shall always be SOLD OUT.
Many people just want someone that is an actor; that is the problem with contemporary America's elected leaders: all white teeth and gift for gab and don't accomplish anything but muddle the nation.
I don't think you can realistically say that you speak for Everyman. And, honestly, I wish you could that way I could get all my data based on your posts.
I like some of what Paul has to say...
Well, I like EVERYTHING he has to say. The torches of personal freedoms and liberty are reignited with Ron Paul this year.
We had every right to frag Bin Laden...every goddam right under every bit of goddam international law that has been recognized since humans hit the High Seas.

Fully agree. But it didn't turn out that way, did it? A pile of GODDAMNED NEO-CONS playing GOD for the good of America. YEA!
Here, we are stuck with a fucking mess because of poor leadership, from TSA checking vaginas of Catholic Nuns by Arabic Muslims with gloves on New Jersey in the name of law. And continuing wars around the world and the largest bills in American history breaking our economic backs that have no obvious outcome.
It is time to retreat. It is same old scratchy record playing over and over again as Vietnam. And as most folks know, I go around and around with others on that point.
