Please, please, please, if you have something worthwhile to say, and by that I mean, trying to convince me that America has not lost its way, then by all means, let me hear it. I truly wish someone COULD convince me that the Good Ole USA is what is was 20 years ago. I fear for the consequences otherwise.
Guatanamo, 2nd Iraq war, Middle east policy, GLOBAL WARMING, inequality within the USA (and by that i mean, never since the great depression has the difference between rich and poor been greater.... and that is a FACT), general world policy (ie. Russia, Korea, Middle east, AFRICA,....... oh my god, it encompasses the entire planet). GWB has done NOTHING right in his entire Presidency. He ignored 911 when it WAS HAPPENING............. he ignored Katrina WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING AND AFTERWARDS, he is a tiny little man that you have entrusted with your security and prosperity in the future. You and your fellow countrymen are in for a rude awakening in the next 10 years. This does not please me, in fact I worry about it, not only for you, but for everyone else.
George is an usurper of power. He stole the first election and he is not the embodiment of Americans in general. If and when it becomes intolerable the American people will do the right thing as they have in the past:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
