Whether you vote kerry or bush, Washington is sick and sick stuff has been done by both parties. I probably have some rather odd views on a lot of things, but at least I have the right to speak although freedom of press has become a rather sick joke, just spewing out a bunch of twisted propaganda we accused soviet Russia of doing.
Banning guns does not keep criminals from getting them, it only puts law abiding citizens in danger. That is why I support and belong to the NRA. What happened to 'the right of the citizens to keep and bare arms shall not be infringed upon',
Banning drugs does not keep addicts from getting them, it just keeps the mobs in business. They spend so much money trying to catch these dealers, if the drugs were legal, the dope fiend would just walk into some place like the abc store, and buy something, not die due to poison cut into it, and the gov could even make money from it, just like they make money off of the alcohol.
And think of how much money is spent every year maintaining those in prison due to dealing etc, and the court costs in processing these charges, and we know where all of that money comes from. Right, you, me and everyone in the form of state and federal income taxes, and taxes on other goods imposed by localities. If the police were not pursuing these dealers, who would not even be in business if it were legal, we would probably cut the need of policemen in half, again cutting our taxes.
I almost feel like carrying conceiled a small weapon and up yours to the dumb state I live in because it is my right as a citizen of this country. The police told me I could have a knife and I do carry one, but that is not much use if facing a criminal with a gun they either stole or got off the black market, while the polititians leave me a sitting duck.
But then I do not think income tax is legal, either. To me it is 'taxation without representation'. They get around that by saying we have house representatives but they do not represent me, they are just crooked polititians who say and vote however to get reelected and keep getting those six digit incomes. grr.
And it has now come out that the cia is directly under the president, carrying out the president's agenda, often using mobs to assasinate or attempt to assasinate other world leaders that this country does not like because they are totalitarian/socialist/communist or whatever. Often these leaders are no threat to us and it is not our business to attempt to control the politics or choice of govt in other countries. Then when someone finds out the cia does some of this stuff, guess who gets blamed, guess who gets to be the scapegoat in this 'dysfunctional family'. You got it. The president acts all innocent like they knew nothing, while the cia is just doing what the president wanted, and the cia gets to be the fall guy.
And sadaam had nothing to do with this country, nor did he have nuclear and biological weapons. If those countries over there want to butcher each other, and are no threat to us, what business is it of America to play global big brother, choosing who to protect and who to leave languishing? If America minded its own business, the terrorists would in all probabily be leaving us alone and focusing their attacks on their own govt, they are rebelling against. We have been sold on the evilness of Bin Laden, but IMO, if my country minded its own business, rather than poking its nose where it did not belong, I give it 1000 to one, that 9-11 and other terroist attacks would not have even happened.
And we have been so totally brainwashed on the evils of communism. Communism in its pure form is not a bad govt. There are no communists govts. There are totalitarian govt, run by totalitarian leaders calling themselves communist.
Like a lot of people, I once thought the president was a sort of figurehead, other than choosing their cabinet etc which supported their views, having to go through congress. I did not know about presidential directives nor about how they mainipulate the cia to carry out their own sick agendas. Now I am reading even more, that those who once worked top secret, within close appoximity to the oval office are now going public with what is going on behind those ivory doors...
Washington is sick....
