What is happening to our country? Does no one see what's going on? Rich and I were talking about the idea that maybe we should just let the south successfully secede from us. We (being the ones who didn't vote for Bush on those maps) would be made up of the northeastern block and the western block and anyone else who'd like to join the 21st century. We are now being run by a Republican senate, house of rep. and of course the President. Folks, that's two out of three. Two out of three what, you ask. Well we all know from our Schoolhouse Rock and our social studies classes that there are three branches of government, (Legislative; i.e. the House of Rep. and Senate, Executive; i.e. Mr. President, and Judicial, i.e. the Supreme Court) the whole checks and balances stuff, well guess what? It's gonna be more like three out of three. With ailing justices there's a big chance that Bush will be replacing them this 2nd term. Haha, he's not gonna replace them with someone who'll vote against him, silly. This means we'll have conservatives in our Supreme Court. Do you know what that means kids? That means this country will return to the stone age... wait, I can't insult the stone age like that. Listen up ladies, there is a chance that this presidency will overturn the ruling of Roe vs. Wade. Come on, we've taken the Regents, we know what that is. This means that there is a possibility that you will not be able to have a legal abortion. Who the fugg has the right to tell you what to do with your body? Well it seems the religious right, or should I say "reich" does.
This radical religious right has and is oppressing this country. They're censoring everything and everyone that does not fit their views!! I'm on the verge of hysteria here because we are on the brink of becoming Nazi Germany all over again. Gays can't marry at all and soon you and I will be kept from marrying outside our "race". We can't do or say anything, as if our right to freedom of speech no longer has any value. I might be taken in for writing all of this... If none of you have heard yet... read this person's live journal entry (10/27/04). We can't even watch television anymore without someone telling us it's wrong.
*We're in a war we cannot win, and should not be in.
*Our economy is shot to hell.
*They're tightening the that noose a little more with every little thing:
Banning of gay marriage and gay rights,
Opposition to anything done outside of marriage
Censorship of t.v. (J. Jackson), radio (H. Stern), books (Harry Potter). Anything considered "indecent".
Restriction on abortion rights, and perhaps the actual law that makes it illegal.
Restriction in the advance of science! i.e. stem-cell research and other items as well.
This is no longer a separation of church and state.
Come one folks, are you kidding me?

Here's a little hypocrisy:
"These terrorists...we have seen their kind before. They're the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way to where it ends in history's unmarked grave of discarded lies." -- George W. Bush, 9/20/01 (taken from rightwingnews.com)
One last quote...I've been writing this since 5:30 a.m. forgive my rambling.
"To announce that there should be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, it is not only unpatriotic and servile, but it is morally treasonable to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt

Regarding quotes, here is another one. It has a few variations and this is one of them. The guy who said it gave many speeches and could have varied it each time.
In Germany they came first for the Communists and I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't
speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for
the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they
came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up. *

Actually, they may have all 3 branches now. It will be worse when more are chosen but they are pretty bad now. They are the ones who decided to make JWB president in 2000.
And it seems as though all these people want to live in a theorcracy. Iran is sitting there waiting for you lovely folks. But this is America which was based on the separtion between church and state. Why? Because they did not want the purity of their religion defiled by the known evils of government. Don't mix one with the other, politics will taint whatever goes near it. Also, if you start letting religion run the country... who's religion will be running it? There are so many different sects of protestantism even. If the government starts to act more in accordance with one, the others might resent it. It is clear that it will be a slippery slope that not even the religious will want. Be careful what you wish for. In a theocracy like Iran there is this problem because of the 2 major groups of Islam. Imagine the US with its huge groups of different religions.
