Change

The Republican Party is a collection of very sick-minded individuals. A strong faction of that herd seems to think that ill people whom are poor should be left to die without any public aid to keep them from doing so.

Since before the American colonies became an independent nation, events similar to 9/11 have always made this country stronger and become basic building blocks of our purpose and self guaranteed freedoms. However, the September 11, 2001 tragedy caused Washington’s demigods to obliterate or ignore many of those freedoms which had been won with more than two hundred years of blood, sweat, toil, and tears. Other than knee-jerk rhetoric, little is being done to regain any of our Constitutional guarantees of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. In fact, our liberties are being further eroded on a seemingly daily basis but all we do is complain and condone; airport full-body scans/strip searches along with video cameras recording nearly every facet of our lives in public are two such abominations which receive the most gripes, yet the over-zealous airport searches and government and private sector surveillance increases. Then every two years, we jump upon our papier-mâché “freedom of choice” horses and, with an aura of dignified self-righteousness, we wobble off to the polls to reelect the same or newly elect worse people who are passing all these laws detrimental to the nations foundations. Do you remember the awe and hope for “real change” that came over the nation and all of the free world the night in 2008 that it was announced that Barack Obama had been elected President of the United States? Even skeptical I was gaining some hope. Have we in any way substantially bettered ourselves in any national election since Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992; actually since Lyndon Johnson was elected in 1964? If your answer is “yes”, you are probably not of my generation and know little or care less of the terrible sacrifices that have been made on your behalf by good people who preceded you throughout our nation’s history. If your answer to my question is “no”, then why are you not taking real steps to correct the evils that we have perpetrated upon ourselves? Freedom cries out for strong leadership and honest leaders; we must not continue to allow it to be a cry in the wilderness! Wake up America!
