Let Us Begin
Lettuce Prey....
This may be the only time I post on this thing. This may be the beginning of hours of insane ranting. Time will tell.
I fear for the planet. I fear for America. I fear for the wonderful decadent lifestyle I have. And there is no real solution. An election is coming soon that is going to shape the world for decades to come. One candidate is more or less going to maintain the status quo, the other has tons of well-meaning ideas, and if elected, is going to fall on his face and take us with him. Neither is an ideal president.
I was hoping someone had quietly cloned Teddy Roosevelt, familiarized him with the original, and helped him translate that strength of character into modern terms. I get silly ass dreams like that.
I don't really give a damn what the world thinks of us. Germany has become a land of whining pussies. France always was. Had they thrown their weight behind us, fighting in Iran might be over now. German troops, when led by strong leaders, are quick, deadly foes.I keep hoping the Koreans get ticked at the way those useless oxygen wasters butchered that poor terrified young Korean guy and send in some of THEIR special forces. These guys used to hunt Viet Cong with NO WEAPONS. The reason they weren't better known and more effective was anywhere they showed up, the VietCong and North Vietnamese forces LEFT. Didn't want to tangle with the Koreans.
I'm tired of political correctness. I'm tired of politics period, but humankind loves to do that to themselves, and monarchies are less than an improvement.
I hate that communism has seeped its way into acceptance in much of our society. It's the same thing it always was, and it's no way for humans to develop into something better. Same with socialism. They're variations on a theme, and that theme is a dedication to controlled mediocrity, with a ruthless bureaucracy assuring things remain as much the same as possible. I know people who would do well under a system like that. You do NOT want them in charge of you.
We can't go back to 1911 America, like Walt Disney recreated on Main Street, USA. It was a beautiful time. It was a hopeful time.
But neither do we have to become yet another reflection of the inbred imbecility of the European nations, or listen to the derision of Islamic enemies while they prove their cowardice by butchering innocents.
Maybe you don't ever want an SUV and a quarter million dollar house. Neither of those are goals of mine, either. But do you want to give up your car because the Kyoto Protocol says to curb your lifestyle so emerging nations can catch up? Restrict your lifestyle so others won't be so jealous of you?
Before you vote, think of what YOU have, what YOU want. Look at these two men vying for office, and ask yourself which one comes closest to giving it to you. When you cut out all the extraneous crap, when it comes down to YOU, perhaps your perspective will be a bit clearer.
Best of luck.
