At best, I was a half-hearted supporter of Obama’s. I was never overly enthused by him, though there were some periods where I thought I’d be able to call myself an Obama supporter with a measure of dignity. Over the last few weeks, that illusion has been shattered.
For all his talk and all his charm, Obama’s showing me now what I can expect in the future; more of the same old G.W.B. bullshit. As I look on his stances on the FISA amendments and now the faith-based bullshit, I can’t help but be left to reflect on our current situation.
Over the last 8 years, two presidential terms, George Bush has pulled some of the most unlawful actions in American history with impunity. Anything he wanted, he got on a golden platter. Anything illegal he did was turned a blind eye to by those sworn to uphold the rule of the law. I am now convinced that this attitude has forever ruined American politics and will lead us into a new age where corruption runs unchecked.
Obama now knows he’s got a 50-50 chance of getting the presidency and that Americans are pretty pissed at Republicans so the pressure’s pretty well off him now. And he’s been shown that the president can snub his nose at the law and Congress will roll over like the impotent, toothless tiger that it’s become.
And really, what choice do we, the people, have but to grin and bear it? There’s nothing that I know of which can force a reform to the corrupt politicains we now have in office. There’s no third party I can vote for because rarely, if ever, does a third party get on the ballet here in Oklahoma. Any time a third party gets media attention, it seems, it is laughed down until it crawls back under it’s rock.
The only thing I can think of, which I’ve mentioned before, is revoke the guarenteed spots on the ballots for Republicans and Democrats, but I know that won’t happen with the government the way it is now. I honestly want to know what can be done to change the way things are. I know, call my senator and voice my opinion, but even then the shit that shouldn’t be passed through congress is still being passed.
I thought I was going to vote this year, but I’m now seeing myself with the same options as when I thought Hillary Clinton was going to get the nomination; a choice between a Republican and a Republican Lite. Which one will shit on the Constitution less?
Obama, I thought you were the voice of change, I thought you were a voice of hope, but now I see what’s under the sheep’s clothing and I’m not impressed.
Will America ever return to the way it was before Bush got into office?

Ya know what ..all of this has been in the works well before Bush time by both republicans and democrats where presidency is already decided who it will be btc(by those chosen) who control all of our government. Try the Trilateral commission kinda the same as The Bilderbergs and Federal Reserve(which is not even a federal program) make money out of thin air to loan with interest to government where we the people pay taxes on it. If the people would have known about this small group of elite bankers(about) sneakingly planned all of it on an Island and own it(private bankers) jp morgan, The Rockefellers, etc..If we could get rid of federal reserve we could go back and never have to pay taxes like it was before and all people would prosper not just the few who want One world government and sink the rest in to poverty and slavery in their attempt to form New World Order and if you read about Hitler ….see a comparison alike??? Lets get rid of the most unfair voting system which is used by U.S. the 2 party system and it all takes us the people. Just remember this:
Be Free
Freedom. Talk about freedom.
Talk about freedom of speech, of expression, of religion and of choice. Talk about what it means to live and be free.
And then exercise that freedom in every facet you choose.
With freedom comes the privilege to use and, some would say, misuse the tools a band of revolutionaries carved out for all citizens — not just themselves. That is the fundamental difference that sets this nation apart from others. Everyone who bears the title of U.S. citizen has the same rights here as outlined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
With freedom also comes responsibility. We will lose those rights if we don’t use and protect them. So as you celebrate Independence Day, remember the word freedom.
