Six Years of Moving Backwards...and counting.

It is simply incredible - as in "WTF???" - that this misadministration has ANY supporters, never mind the rock-solid, rock-headed 35-40% or so that would obviously support a turd if it were labeled conservative (or talked like a fake cowboy). Today is one of those days for reflecting - the big Five-O....so here are some thoughts from a wiser (I suppose), older (but with a long way to go!), sad, fed up liberal.

What, oh what....WHAT....has gone right for our country in the past 6 years?
We had the stolen election, abetted by the Supremes.
Then, there was 911 - which happened on whose watch???? Oh yeah, that's right.
Since then, non stop fear, fear, fear fear
Less jobs
More poverty
Stock Market repeatedly tanking, and we seem to be heading south again.
A constant flow of lies - a media that no longer can detect, never mind tell, the truth
A "war" waged on total lies - thousands of Americans killed or injured, many thousands of Iraqis dead or injured
Then we had another what appears to be stolen election, with the sliming of a good man's name, engineered by the piece stinking refuse whose nickname is also turd!
Stacking of the supreme court
lies, lies, lies, 911, 911, 911, fear, fear, terror....
...and I've only scratched the surface (Katrina, guitar playing while people are drowning, etc etc etc)

I suppose that the people who may be doing the best are the therapists who must be very busy, seeing the millions of those who either feel the guilt of electing this moronic yet dangerous idiot - or the other damaged patients who are trying to deal with the fact that their pride doesn't allow for them to admit that they support a buffoon!

Oh yes - it is terribly obvious that the vast majority of those who are vocally playing the religious right card don't have a shread of fear of God in their souls. They are vacuous, empty, pathetic human beings who are playing the vast weak ocean of followers for fools. If any of these people believed in God, they would know where they are heading (I hope that they pack light, it is really hot where they are heading).

OK - enough purging of my anger - off to have a nice glass of Champagne. thanks for listening!

1. Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday anyway.:-)

I myself hit the big Five-O on December 13, 2000. I awoke on my 50th birthday to the news that the Supreme Court had handed the election to *. Even though I was disappointed at the time that * was going to occupy the White House, it was later that I was to learn how bad what happened really was.

My mother treated me to dinner that night along with my sister and her husband (who are fundamentalist Christians). At one point my mother made a toast to the new "pResident". I did not join in for that.

I am not certain as of now if my above-mentioned family members have had any serious second thoughts about * by now. I have pretty much tried to avoid talking about politics with them, except that I can sometimes talk about things with my brother-in-law; he and I can agree to disagree. I am actually closer to my brother-in-law than to my sister, and have been since they were married.

Fortunately I have other family members who also think * is bad.

I did end a 30-year friendship with a good friend in 2005. He is and always was a fundamentalist Christian, but he was never "in-your-face" about his faith, or his politics. However it was more than I could accept that he supported * a second time, and apparently without any second thoughts as far as I could tell. We both mutually agreed to end our friendship, and did so on amicable terms.

Again, happy birthday.
