This is shut up already part one…

Yes the United States is a mess — and screwed up. Fucked up almost beyond repair actually. I refuse however to point fingers and say it’s the Republican parties fault or it’s the Democratic parties fault. Because the reality is you just can’t blame one specific party. Each party through the years has committed its fair share of blunders that’s cost the country lots of money and set us back.

Republicans think that Democrats believe in killing babies and old people. I don’t know of one Democrat who’s for abortion. Who think abortion is cool, or hip, or the right thing to do. I know lots of Democrats who are Roman Catholic who are not comfortable with abortion. What I do know is that it’s not up to you or me to tell someone else what to do with their body. My personal stance on abortion is that I think every woman has the right to choose and my hope is that she chooses to have her baby, and if she is in a position that she can’t or won’t care for it to place it with a set of parents who will. There’s plenty of them standing in line who are dying to be parents. But please — I want the government to stay out of my uterus.

Republicans think that the various plans to modify American medical care, they(Democratic party) believe in killing everybody else, too. Except for murderers — murderers will get a “time out” and a chance to speak at the graduation ceremony of a prominent liberal arts college. ( I don’t thin any murderer should get any time out — they should all be sent to an island, put amongst themselves and let them duke it out.)

Republicans seem to believe that anyone who doesn’t agree with them is against them completely by default.

Democrats seem to believe that anyone who doesn’t agree with them is against them completely by default.

Democrats want to make sure that the poorest amongst us are treated just as well as the richest. While I agree with that — if I work really really hard and bust my ass to make a good living and my neighbor chooses to sit on his ass all day, drink beer, and watch TV, should he share in my spoils even though he didn’t earn it?

Democrats want to raise taxes to help Americans in need. While I don’t have a problem with helping American truly in need I do have a problem supporting the lazy and those who feel they have a handout coming to them because they won’t get off their asses and work.

The Republican party doesn’t want to recognize that two people regardless of sexual orientation can love one another and be happy. I think that what happens between two consenting adults is their business — not ours.

I want the government to keep out of my religious beliefs as well. If I want to worship tree’s, God, life guards, or Star Bucks coffee I should be able to without the government interfering. If I want to not believe in God I should be able to do that as well.

And oh my God — the war. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. The Bush Administration has made it’s share of mistakes, blunders, etc… over the past eight years. President Obama inherited a huge mess. How that man is going to make any headway is beyond me. However, The Bush Administration isn’t the only Administration to do stupid, ridiculous, and costly things that’s caused the USA much grief.

Roosevelt got us into World War II, the Lend-Lease act was passed stating Roosevelt could direct aid to whomever he wanted. This meant that the US was no longer neutral. The US ended up contributing 42 billion dollars to the war effort by 1945. With Hitler taking over Europe, FDR saw fit to aid the British and French troops with arms, etc. Roosevelt didn’t get us out of the Depression. Six years after he was elected president, unemployment was about as high as it had been under Herbert Hoover. Even World War II didn’t end the Depression.

Then it was Kennedy who got us involved in Vietnam,Kennedy increased the number of military ad visors from 100 to 1600 by 1963. He also helped to equip the South
Vietnamese Army – and we can’t forget the Bay of Pigs and what a big damn mess that was – One could also say that not making sure the Jupiter missiles were removed from Turkey as he had ordered was a mistake that complicated the Cuban Missile Crisis. But even had those missiles been removed, the Russians would probably still have done what they did.

And then we have Nixon and Watergate – I could write volumes about who screwed up, and stupid and horrible that was. I can remember my folks watching the hearings all the time — and I remember clearly watching that crook resign. And really I should use the word “Crook” lightly — most politicians are crooks in my book and are all in bed together.

Moving on –

Carter was ineffective — the most ineffective president ever.

Reagan had a long list of failures, Clinton pulled his fair share of boners and then of course the Bush boys who operated this country literally by the seat of their pants.

It doesn’t help to have morons like Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter who attempt to speak for the GOP either.

My point through all of this — is that it’s just not one party. It’s too much pork, too many personal agenda’s (Can we say one Bush is doing another Bush’s dirty work because he’s too stupid to stand on his own two feet?), and too many politicians who are drunk on power, and glory to see the forest through the trees.

Whew.

Okay.

I am done.

I think.
