The first time that I voted for President Bush, I lived in Palm Beach County Florida. Content with my vote, and having faced no problems with the chads, I could accurately state to everyone who asked, that the democrats were a bunch of bloody morons. Pick a candidate, use the handy tool and poke a bloody hole! OY
My second vote was executed in Texas and again - not a problem (well, not really)
I sometimes feel that I am trapped in a bad relationship with my party, and I am slowly being kicked to death.
You see, I really believe that President Bush is not really a Republican, indeed he reminds me of a boy I once dated. That boy seemed acceptable, because he seemed to know exactly what I liked and mimicked me, and I allowed my ego to choose him, only to realize that it is impossible for someone to perpetually mimic what they do not understand.
President George Bush does not understand what is is to truly be a Republican. It has a lot to do with his approach the war, and everything to do with his desire to play fast and loose with our personal freedoms, and with our money.
The war is a mess- agreed, however, the majority of Americans supported the war, and wanted the death of the Muslim terrorist. Most Americans believed the insinuations at the time, that this was an in and out venture and that very few soldiers would die. Many Americans were stupid in that regard, war really is hell on all fronts. President Bush and his immortal V.P.
(disclaimer: my sarcasm regarding the VP's inability to succumb to his physical problems, in no way suggests on my part that he should no longer be a vital and breathing part of our government)
literally seduced and bullied millions of people into thinking that we were going to engage the enemy, and with gratitude the enemy would roll over and ask for more.
Republicans- knew better, we knew that this war would last for an eternity, we knew that all Americans would suffer, but the majority of the country just wanted to see old Glory fly.
Many Americans now identify 'Republicans', as the loudest morons in the room who think that it is a-ok for American boys to die for a bunch of thankless Muslims, who wouldn't accept democracy if allah offered it with 30 virgins. Republicans are more complex, and traditionally we are concerned with matters that strengthen Americans and strictly adhere to the constructs of our constitution. We care about budgets and we care about growth, we do not believe that our President should sign blank checks to every special interest group in the country.
We really do not believe that our constitution needs to be amended. Those individuals that require this amazing document to be altered pointlessly, do not understand that concept of freedom of morality.
Gays do not need to marry, they are already an abomination to God, why help them on their way to hell, by paying attention to their slack?
Abortion is murder, we know this, even though many of us (myself included) have at one point or another,fallen under the lies that it is our right as women to club our offspring to death.
We do not 'do nuance' but we recognize that we often have to acknowledge the fuzzy areas, if only to understand that pointlessness of Democrats. I am feeling battered because this government has been consistently pissing on the solid rock of freedom out of which this great country was carved. Immigrants recognize this- why are so many Americans having such a hard time with this.
This country was built upon an amazing document, and any attempt to twits it and to shave it down to spice up the quintessential wet dreams of everyone from the Christians to the liberals, if just damned stupid.
The idea that Freedom, is NOT FREE, is not just a damned bumper sticker slogan, it is the battle cry of America to every corner of the world. Why then is this administration, launching an almost daily attack against our freedom. We cannot speak anymore for fear that we could be arrested, we cannot get righteously angry, we cannot participate in protest that may reach the ears of the President or VP Scorpius.
Americans are asked to do the following things- 1.buy more stuff 2.Ignore the fact that we have a -2% savings rate 3.Ignore the fact that every corporation in country has adopted the destructive policy of shipping every bloody high paying job to freaking China, India, freaking Singapore!!! 4. Pretend that there is no inflation, yes, everything is OK- just ignore the fact that you get less in the grocery store for the same dollar amount. 5. Ignore the fact that the energy companies are giddily raping the American consumer, just smile and keep driving to the mall to purchase enough crap made in China to keep every fraudulently calculated index high enough for satans' pundits to chorus "everything is fine".
Now then, the problem is that the 'republicans' who are screaming in support of President Bush,have no idea why they are doing it. It's certainly not the power, it's definately not because they must comply. It seems to me that they are yelling out of fear; because if we all slow down, put away the Amex and focus on the guano that is currently being smeared into the crevices of America, we would lose all hope.
A president is like a parent, and effective parenting starts with the behavior of the parents. What we have learned from Dad and Dad ( OY- I know)is that we may be seen, but not heard. We have learned that they have squandered our financial legacy and that we are responsible for replenishing the coffers. We are bruised and broken and asking for more, are suffering the loss of high paying jobs, compounded by the bankruptcy (serfdom) bill that our president gleefully signed. Millions are starving at home for food, health care,social security,you name it while we spend billions of dollars every month in Afghanistan and Iraq, on Godless and thankless individuals. So I am feeling battered and angry because the only Republican in the current pack of morons who have tossed their hats in the ring, who even seems literate is Ron Paul. Sadly Senator Paul will never be elected in a country where people pay more attention to Idol than to economic growth, and to 'patriotism' over practicality.
So here we go again- what is a literate Republican to do?
