WHAT THE.....???

I give up! It seems the more crap comes down the less anyone cares. I have nothing new to rant about - it's just more of the same. They used to call Reagan the Teflon President because nothing seeemed to stick to him. Even though I did not agree with his politics, he at least was somewhat charming and intelligent, unlike the slug now occupying the white house. What do these people have to do in order to get their asses handed to them? If Clinton had pulled half the stupid stunts Bush has he would have been lynched. Where is the outrage? Is the entire country on Prozac?

I may be more upset with the Democrats than with the GOP. It's the Dems job as the opposition party to call attention to this crap and to put forth some alternative ideas and stimulate some discussion. Where are they? Are they waiting for the GOP to self-destruct so they can just waltz in and take over? I don't think it works that way. Even some Republicans are openly disagreeing with the president due to his poll numbers being somewhat lower than bin Laden's. I can't name one Democrat that I would vote for in 2008 - can you?

In the meantime, the country continues to slide toward third-world status behind India and China. We are mired in the mess we have created in Iraq with no end in sight. The NSA and FBI are spying on us and our ports are not secure. The so-called "war on terror" is a disaster and we have abandoned the people of the Gulf Coast who desperately need our help. Yet the president and his lackeys assure us that everything is wonderful and we just need to "stay the course". I believe that was the order from the captain of the Titanic just before it hit the iceburg.

I keep thinking that maybe I'm overreacting, that maybe things are not so bad as they seem. Maybe I'm just a cranky old man who thinks the world is going to hell, like my grandfather was back when I was a kid. ( There may be some of that). Maybe it's always been this way and I just wasn't aware of it. Maybe it's because I was a young adult in the 60's when we thought we could change the world. Maybe I'm supposed to feel this way at this stage of life (It will make dying easier). Maybe I'm out of touch with reality. Maybe this too shall pass.

What the.....???
