Today is the day to move our big furniture and hopefully everything else that’s left. So I probably won’t have internet for a few days to even a week or two(I’ll be having withdrawals). So before I leave off and nobody notice my absence I have to talk politics. I watched Farenheit 9/11 last night, didn’t learn anything new, but cried and laughed a couple dozen times. I hope the people in the sold out show learned something and are properly awakened to start paying attention. “If you’re not scared, you’re not paying attention.” Napa isn’t quite as snobby and dumb as it looks.
I’ve grown up as a liberal under liberal-leaning non-activist parents. They grew up as Seventh-Day Adventists which is a truly “compassionate conservative” religion. Leave gay marriages to the states, always keep church and state separated lest the church gets screwed, and war is wrong wrong wrong because killing is a sin. But I’m sure Bush doesn’t feel he will go to hell since he didn’t actually pick up a gun for it.
Anyway, my parents are liberal in the issues but I suspect my dad’s more conservative as far as money goes. I never particularly liked politics. Politicians lie, I knew this when I was 8, so why was Clinton lying that surprising? He lied to the Supreme Court, however I don’t think he ever should have HAD to lie because it’s not the Supreme Court’s business or the country’s business for the President’s personal/family/sexual life which is in no way connected to his policies and his job. *cough* When the 2000 election came up, I started paying attention. Bush scared me and as it came to that “oh gee golly gosh, alllllll of us networks got it wrong, FOX News is right, Dubya’s the winner!” I fucking paid attention.
Farenheit 9/11 is correct on everything. Blacks haven’t forgotten the shit in Florida and neither have the Democrats. And I’m sick of hearing “it’s in the past, get over it”. When someone cheats that’s pretty fucking annoying. And when the prize is the Presidency of the United States? And if it hadn’t been Bush these past four years, how do you think our terrorism defense might have been? The Department of Homeland Security was set up by the Clinton administration to give the Bush administration a good headstart. And how was it doing before 9/11? Gee, Bush didn’t do SHIT about terrorism.
How is it wrong to kill a month old fetus inside you, for your own selfishness whatever your reasons and not wrong to kill a six year old Iraqi child for your own selfishness? Innocent lives always get caught in the crossfire of war. Or maybe even just on the “enemy lines” of war. If my whole family was killed in the invasion of our “saviors from Saddam” because they weren’t sure if they were armed, because they bombed whatever they could, you can fucking bet I would take my revenge no matter how much I’d be glad to be rid of Saddam and have a say in my government. So why were people surprised with the insurgents?
Bush has essentially fucked everything every which way and it’s too late to wish it never happened. So I can only wonder, how the hell are we going to fix this?
