Social Politics

Something has been bothering me recently. So far I've been exhaling sighs and brushing it off, but now that both presidential candidates have chosen their running mates for vp, things have kind of gone off the deep end.

First of all, I'm sick of people putting in their two cents about why they hate Bush and/or his administration. Why do I bother listening? It's the same story every single time. The Bush bashing only gets things warmed up. Next is all the praise about how great democrats are and why they like Obama. For some reason, the essence of Obama and his campaign has been raised up to resemble some sort of deity. Plus, on the rare occasion I hear about McCain, I can't help but feel a chaffing feeling against my brain cells. McCain is not any better than Obama, but what can you do?

Anyway, the point I wanted to make was that I am tired of this nation of sheep. If it's one thing I can't stand it's the same mundane and monotonous lame political opinions that have become the "social norm." Let me enlighten some of you people. Just to let you know, the USA is not a democracy. It's a representative republic. It's unfair and inaccurate to blame one man, or even one branch of the government. Who is to blame for starting a war and still not finding WMD's? How about all of us! Guess what, congress voted for the war in Iraq. Who's in congress? All the democrats, republicans, conservatives, and liberals we voted for. How about faulty intelligence we collected about wmd's? That means every intelligence agency we have shares blame as well. You see, we're all connected. Next time think twice before laying blame on one person.

Is this topic a little old? Yeah, but it needed to be said. Next time you're with a group of friends and you talking politics, don't be another sheep.
