Dude, where's my country?!

5.29.2005

This is partly in reponse to a compadres blog, and partly in response to thoughts that I have expressed over the past 6 years of Dubya's administration. First off, I am not a Democrat, I am not a Republican. I have been accused of being a "bleeding heart liberal", and even on occassion a Communist. I did not vote for Dubya, either time, and I did not vote for any independent candidates (even though some are very good). I am not even a huge Dubya hater, even though he is a brain dead zombie. I do at this point detest the Republican Party and everything it stands for. And if that is treason, you can come get me . . .

This country has taken so many steps backward. . . Rights, Creative Freedoms, Scientific Advances, Diplomatic Relations, since the beginning of the Dubya years, it makes me worry. I worry about the trillion dollar debt that this party feels it needs to run to keep the banks pockets lined. I worry that this country has stepped and squashed so many rights in this country, under the veil of the "War on Terror" and "Morality", that I sometimes wonder what kind of file the FBI has on me. I worry about this militaristic, if you not with us your terrorists attitude, in our highest offices. I worry that our dimplomatic relations are so bad with the rest of the world, that even Canada hates us. I worry that by the time Dubya is set out to pasture, that we will be involved in so many conflicts, with our troops streched so thin, that it will leave us defensless. I worry that our "all volunteer armies" recruitment is at an all time low, and if we are going to be fighting these conflicts, don't we need troops, and how do you think we are supposed to get them? I am worried that by the end, interest rates will be so high, that no one will be able to afford a mortgage. I worry about my entitlement to Social Security, which I have paid for, and will never get. I worry that we lose good jobs by the bucketful everyday. I worry that someone on minimum wage cannot afford a place to live. I worry you can be labeled as a terrorist and lose every right guaranteed to you by the Constitution. I worry that cures for AIDS, Cancer, Paralysis, are only a few years away, but the government won't fund the research based upon some twisted Christian ideal. AND I REALLY WORRY ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT SEEMS THAT PEOPLE OF MY GENERATION AND YOUNGER DON'T SEE THIS.

Don't you kids realize what is happening to this country? Can you not tell, we are no where close to where we were 6 years ago? Do you not realize, that this administration has no interest in you or your success?

I am scared; that if one doesn't prescribe to a certain Christain Moralistic outlook in this country, you are either a traitor, a bad parent, unamerican, a baby killer, etc, etc. You are black balled, and ostracized. Does anyone remeber Joe MaCarthy and the "red scare?" Last I looked, Jesus did not found this country (that is another blog). In fact, this country is so anti-religion, that some of the things going on in our government are boderline treasonous.

I tell you this now, Mitt Romney will be the Republican candidate for president in 2008. Mitt is Dubya, only charming and well spoken. He charmed his way in to this state, and look where we are now. Keep an eye out for Mitt . . . Soon, Very Soon.
