I am so sick of all of the ***** that seems to be flowing freely
through today's world.

I'm agnostic (because I'm not arrogant enough to claim one way or
another if a supernatural entity exists - if I can't taste, feel,
smell, hear, or see it, who am I to judge?) and I am a little weary of
people who claim that "god" speaks to them.

If your god were as omniscient, omnipotent, and as omnipresent as you
believe he/she/it is, why the hell would he/she/it talk to you?

I am so sick of all of the ***** that seems to be flowing freely
through today's world. Every time you turn around you hear about this
fantastical - that's right I said fantastical - nonsense that keeps
getting force-fed to us. Foley wants to bang a 16-year-old boy. It's
all blamed on the Democrats and the "liberal" media. The Right is
blaming the Left for allowing Kim Jong Crazy for allowing North Korea
to develop nucular, I'm sorry, nuclear weapons. When everyone with a
rational mind can acknowledge that every administration over the last
twenty years shares in accountability. When McCain placed the blame
solely on Clinton, it illustrated the bipolar partisanship of today's
politics. The sad thing for me is I am neither Democrat nor
Republican. I'm completely sick of both parties. The spotlight just
happens to be on the Right. Hell, they control all branches of gov't,
right?

Rumsfeld "listens to the generals in the field," yet most of the
generals that have served under the Bush regime have time and time
again rebutted and called out the ***** excuses for going to war in
Iraq. The sad thing is that's old news.

What is this regime going to do to spin tomorrow's headlines? It's
always someone else's fault. There is absolutely no accountability. I
remember what my mom used to do to me when I would try to play the
"blame game" - I admit I've stolen that overused term from the
Republican vernacular. She would whup my *****. "Don't blame your
brother for not cleaning your room!!! Don't blame me working 3 jobs
for you missing class!!!" Take some ***** responsibility for your
actions.

Wait, I'm sorry; I forgot. The Bushmeister doesn't hold his people
accountable, so why admit to guilt? Cheney is still holding on to the
notion that Iraq had something to do with 911, that Iraq had weapons of
mass destruction - hell, the Republican leader of the House
Intelligence Committee, Peter Hoekstra, still asserts that WMDs are
still over there. He wants to form a commission.

***** me running!!! Are you kidding me?

Whatever happened to rationality? To logic? I'm sorry; I forgot that
this administration has a direct link to god. With god, who needs
rationality or logic? It's all about faith, anyway. Like Colbert
says, if it feels right, then it is right. Who needs facts? The Earth
has only been around for 6,000+/- years, right? god told Bush that his
legacy is to spread freedom. I don't know about you, but I've been to
AA. A lot of those poor people had someone talking to them, too.

I'm agnostic (because I'm not arrogant enough to claim one way or
another if a supernatural entity exists - if I can't taste, feel,
smell, hear, or see it, who am I to judge?) and I am a little weary of
people who claim that "god" speaks to them. I understand talking to
your god, but if you hear god speaking to you you have a god complex.

If your god were as omniscient, omnipotent, and as omnipresent as you
believe he/she/it is, why the hell would he/she/it talk to you?

By the way, if god is omnipotent couldn't he/she/it create something so
heavy even he/she/it couldn't lift it? If he/she/it were omniscient,
free will would not exist because he/she/it knows everything that is
and everything that will be. That means that he/she/it already knows
the future, which denotes fate, and that means you are predetermined to
do what you do. If he/she/it is omnipresent that means he/she/it is in
hell, as well. He/she/it is everywhere, right? I guess that means I
will see god in hell.

The canon that god created man in his image is simply false because,
through the arrogance of man, we created god in our own image - a petty
hominid with a white beard succumbing to the common preoccupations that
plague our psyche.

But I digress. I was raised to be a proud American. I still feel
proud to be born in a country whose ideals changed the face of the
world. Those ideals are being challenged. Our proud American leaders
just suspended Habeas Corpus - the right to be brought before a judge
to prevent illegal imprisonment. Our proud American leaders just gave
our wonderful president (the one who called astronauts spatial
entrepreneurs, remember?) the right to define treaties like the Geneva
Convention. Our constitution reserves that Right for the Judiciary,
right? You do remember that from middle school, right? RIGHT?!?

What about the erosion of free speech? Characterizing people critical
of the administration as terrorist sympathizers or appeasers is
un-American. A great president once said:

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is
morally treasonable to the American public."

That president was Teddy Roosevelt. He was Republican, by the way.

This Orwellian administration has me fucking nervous. There is another
quote I would like to share:

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders
of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple
matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist
dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no
voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked,
and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the
country to greater danger."

Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials.

He was a Nazi, by the way.

I don't know what to do anymore.
