Not good enough

I would like to leave a disclaimer here since I know people like to read blogs and occasionally reference them. This blog was created so I can vent my views. While they can be humorous at times they are my views and not always referenced facts. I am not a historian, I am not a Doctor of anything, I'm just pissed off. However, this is how I see it.
In 1775 the continental Army went to war with the British in an attempt to break away from the parliamentary hold the british had over the colonists in America. This was over taxation of the colonists without representation (so I've been told). Today as we get set to celebrate our independence from tyranny we find ourselves in a similar place. However this is a situation of our own making. Through the apathy of the american voters we have put in place a goverment of the people that is not for the people. We have allowed the American goverment to treat its citizens as peasants. We are told we don't know what's best for us, we can't think for ourselves.. But who is doing the thinking? It is obvious it is not the triad of the government is not. This is what seems to be taking place; Our representatives are representing lobbyists, corporations and special interests. We have in place a group of greedy elitists that are out to destroy what has been built for us. If you notice the word citizens is not included in this list. The reason? I can only speculate there is no money in representing the people. Representing regular people does not bring $$$.... I can say I have regularly sent messages to my elected officials. I seem to get no responses with the exception of party form letters which to me means noone reads them and noone responds. I am sure if I put a credit card number on them I would probably get a response but I don't want my identity stolen by a congressman.
We have now allowed the US government to take hostage the people of the United States. Only 61.7% of eligible voters took place in the elections of 2008. What happened to the other 38.3%? There are Millions of American Soldiers, Sailors Marines and Airmen that have given their lives for the right of the 360 million+ american citizens and countless legal and illegal aliens to live and pursue happiness in the United States. These men and women died so millions of people around the world can live free from persecution. But what happened to us? Our forefathers stood their ground in the 1700's and said we're not going to take it anymore. And fought for what they believed were rights bestowed upon them by their creator.
So this is the change the people wanted? A president who is still campaigning? A government who doesn't listen to its people? A country on the fast track to becoming a fallen superpower? Well if it is. Good for you. It is not what I want. It's not what many want. But since we have no voice it's what we get. Like the Stones say you can't always get what you want. And like most mothers say you get what you deserve.
Now lets say what I'm for. I am for the goverment staying out of private business. I'm for the government keeping their spending to a minimum since they generate no revenue. I am for people paying their own way. I'm for people speaking the american language, ENGLISH. I'm for the goverment doing what they are supposed to do, keeping the american people safe by providing a military, enforcing the borders and protecting those who cannot protect themselves and protecting american commerce. I'm for being allowed to live my life the way I want to. I'm for being free to worship how I want to. I'm for free speech. I'm for the Declaration of Independance, I'm for the constitution and I'm for people living free in the greatest country on the face of the earth. And I'm for kicking out all of the members of government at the end of their term. Everyone currently in government needs to go home. They have been there too long. When I don't remember the name of the last senator it's too long.
So in parting if you think you have something to celebrate tomorrow, think again. What we had is long gone and that is nothing to celebrate. Maybe, it's time to mourn for the millions of americans that have gone to their graves fighting for this country only to have been spit on by the very government that was put in place to protect them and sent them to their death. The part of my life I had given to this country instead of myself has been wasted so I have one thing left to say to those who have wasted it. FUCK YOU
