Neglecting the Democrats
I feel like I haven’t criticized the Democratic presidential candidates nearly enough, so I’ll try to catch up a little:
1. Either Hillary has a lot of people confused about her stance on war, or her anti-war supporters are truly just anti-Republican war. I think since she sat by in silent approval for so long, while her husband rained bombs down on Iraq, she’s just bored with this war. She now feels it’s time to move on to another one.
2. John Edwards must find it easier to promote socialized/fascist healthcare by remaining ignorant of the horrendous effects it has on other countries — for instance Cuba.
3. Obama creates much of the same confusion Hillary does. (more here)
4. Listen to the weasels answer this question on whether or not women should be required to register for the draft as men are. I wonder if I’m the only one who found it strange that every single one of them who answered said yes, they should be required to register, but then stated their opposition for the draft. What exactly is the point in supporting draft registration if you oppose a draft. Maybe it’s so they can call people up for “universal national service.” “Shared experience?” “Public service academy?” This reeks of totalitarian propaganda, and frankly it disgusts me. If they were against the draft in principle, they would have denounced registration for anyone and slavery of any form, regardless of its euphemistic designation.
What a crooked bunch of phonies.

Welcome to the world of politics. Its been this way for years and only continues to get worse. What a massive machine this country has constructed and Republicans and Democrats both need the machine for survival. Anything or anyone that threatens their domain is fed to the sharks. It seems hopeless to try to change it. They are both big government, big spending, big, BIG, BIG!!! Government in your face. What a mess we have. Where do we go from here?

it can’t continue forever. I just hope that we can change things peacefully, now, rather than waiting for a following generation to face a violent turning point, like the War for Independence. I know it seems far fetched because we have it very good in this country, but we shouldn’t take it for granted, or our prosperity will be taken right out from underneath us. people need to think about their children and grand children and the mess that they’ll be left with: a failed economy, enemies all over the globe, crumbling infrastructure, loss of civil liberties, fear of their political leaders, etc. I don’t mean to sound like an alarmist, but I think these are serious concerns; especially since everything I just listed are already starting to happen.
