Research on democracy

I have discovered that doing research for a book often leads to tons of other ideas for books more interesting that the one on the storyboard. I plan my book with schetches and bubbles of ideas, this keeps me happy and engaged because writing is brutal.
Laughing at myself about the sorry fact that I am a Republican in a world where all the repubs seem desperate to behave like democrats, also keeps the sad chuckles coming.

I am disgusted with my party. I am troubled by my president.

I may very well have a file at NSA headquarters because a fews weeks ago I deviated from my normal calling pattern and telephoned a gentleman in Boston who is from Morocco. Ok I was inquiring about his handmade pillows for my business but who cares!
As an immigrant I was one of those goofy people who actually believed in this "freedom" that is continually promised by this country - mea culpa
It saddens me to realize that President Bush is more concerned with the goings on of the average American than with the fact that we have millions of undocumented OOOPS
illegal aliens streaming across the border.

Apparently the government, according to President Bush, is not "trolling" but instead they are seeking to spot broken trends in one calling history. When you listen to our impartial journalists you get the feeling that they are all ggofy too. They keep polling - asking Mr. and Mrs. America if they will just give a little more freedo to keep from being blown to bits or whatever...
Those who bring us the news do not seem to realize that the government already has practically everything on us. They have access to our:

"private" emails
"private" telephone records
"private" credit records
"private" medical histories

Our banks report our every move to them and Americans talk of sacrificing even more fredom to ensure their next breath.

FACT: Only God can ensure your next breath

They have been so anesthesized by the media and indeed by their own decision to be bystanders in their own democracy that they do not realize that there is nothing left to sacrifice. They worry about their own overspent undersaved tommorrows and they think nothing of what they will leave for their children.
I am sick when a Republican President for whom I voted twice - Yes twice - decides that he has to use the power of the most noble office in the world to work out his sick issues.
President George Bush, is now dealing with his broken record. He has chosen not to behave rationally but to react like a truculent child.

He has been chastized for breaking a precious gift and he is now smashing what is left in spite. I pray that he stops before all is lost. We are now engaged in a fight for freedom ( whatever the heck that means) in Iraq, the Taliban in Afghanistan seems to have reorganized and these wars will be managed by the next administration.

Say what if the Republicans do not retain power?

Are we comfortable allowing Democrats such open access to the lives of Americans?

Do the Republicans believe that once they rape the Constitution with the slimy tool of semantics that the Democrats will politely look away?

Do we really want Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton peering into our lives?

Goerge Bush has duped the Christians (I'm one too) and the republicans into thinking that freedom is his focus around the world, when it has become quite clear that it is the real freedom of Americans that was the focus all along.
