Another Political Rant
So you think Americans are stupid and being manipulated by the media because they do not think like you. Maybe they don’t think like you because they live in a real world and have to make choices everyday just to survive. Maybe they think it is important to do the right thing sometimes even though for the wrong reasons.
Maybe people will start listening to you when you quit reminding them that you think they are idiots. Run for an office. Americans have elected fools and idiots to almost every office in politics from local elections to national offices, so you, too, could win. We need to start checking our egos before debating politics. The world would be a very different place if people thought like me. I know my limitations and know that it never will. My generation attempted to change the world in the 60s with very little success.
I am a pacifist and find myself defending limited military action in certain situations. I didn’t approve of the Iraqi War from the very beginning. I didn’t/don’t support the action in Afghanistan. When people are being killed by despots and refuse to listen to reason, then sometimes a limited military action may be necessary and I don’t care if it happens for the wrong reasons.
I am a socialist and I defend the bailout of capitalists because it saved jobs. America was on the brink of a disaster similar to the great depression.
I have my own vision of the world that I would like to exist. However, I accept any action that saves lives and decreases poverty, hunger and suffering.
This blog is far too reasonable.
wonder what would happen if America pulled all its troups home and take all their army bases with them and stay on home turf. same would go for any else. . with musicians moving in to disputed territory. . for the gardeners to plant for once the air is sweet with nature;s blooming show that lest we let the sweet scents of success flower at our feet as well shower the breath of our being with all the vigor and vitality the WINDance leaves light ground the roots of peace . . play . . . and ponder . . ah, so need some water works in my yard. Peace be yours. . it is a state of mind, a decision one makes , lest life does it for you. . .
hell, they’s been doing that since time immemorial . . me living in a dream world when now a day goes by without the bombers of world war 2 closing in on us again and skimming over the roof tops of our house. . as the lawnmowers and leaf blowers . . close in on us yet again. . .
always thought vision and the truth would clear the way ah, each has their own
think it time i go a walking . .
Well sir, your views show you to be an extreme radical… of the sort that would probably do this country a bit of good were there more… like minded in some of the unimaginable views that you mentioned above.
This rant is hands down the most drama and butthurt-free political rant I have seen in quite some time. Granted, not saying much considering that I’m new to the site, but you are hereby my first subscription.
Well Said, John
A government and a society that cares for the elderly and children, that has fair wages and safe working conditions, where people have liesure time and are healthy is a country where I would wish to live.
😀 :love:

John…I understood all of what you were saying…until I got to this part ^^^^^^^^
Mike Huckabee said that if the stimulus & tarp had been given to the American People…it would have worked out to about $220,000 PER PERSON! Instead of making rich people…filthy rich…look how much good could have come from spreading that money around. 8 million Americans would still be in their homes…the people would have spent a lot of money to buy cars and homes…and many other items. It would have STIMULATED THE ECONOMY….but instead…it just made a bunch of rich people…filthy rich. If you are a Socialist…think how much good could have been done for the people if the stimulus & tarp had been given to the people instead of the rich??? The Bankers & Mortgage Lenders all got their big fat bonus checks because of the stimulus & tarp under Obama. Be honest…you would find a way to twist your view to support Barack Obama no matter what he did. Obama could have our military attack The Amish…and you’d support it. :entertained:
John,
“My generation attempted to change the world in the 60s with very little success. ”
ummm, what exactly are you saying didn’t change? world peace? or just at all.
If you are speaking of the social aspects, the United States teens in the 60s paved the way for wilder music, more choice for the youth, social liberation, long hair, more open attitudes about sex…etc…
I feel a sense of respect for those of you who had demonstrations to stand up for what you believed in.
I haven’t seen that kind of push since then until the demonstration in Madison< Wisconsin about the Collective bargaining bill that drew 85,000 protesters.
Today's people are so passive it has become a rarity to see people get out there and fight.
