Wow found this great quote on someone’s blog page but there was no link to where it originated. Well worth posting so more people see it!

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

… and three more years of this crap to go. The “State of the Union” address was a let down, not so much because I had any high expectations but because I’ve been trying to be less negative about things, which didn’t work out once everything was said and done.
Once the speach was over it was clearly just the same old tired rhetoric that put me right back in my mantra of “this sucks” and “everyone in D.C. is mentally challenged”. That is not what I wanted. However it was, as usual, the feeling I walked away with after listening.
I’d love to hear about less government, less red tape, less taxes, and overall a lot less of what we’ve had spewed on us since the Clinton era. This country needs to support the individual, never mind pandering only to those who’ve managed to squeeze out a couple more mentally stunted children.
Give people under $100k a year much much bigger tax cuts on a permanent basis. Make up the loss in tax revenue from corporations that outsource and manufacture overseas. Sadly we all know the buying power for the mega-wealthy special interest groups will never allow that…… and the the economy ruled by Corporatism continues.
At any rate, for those of you who didn’t want to watch the “State of the Union” and slipped on a dvd instead here is a quick synopsis of what was said, “Blah blah blah [clap clap clap] same shit different day [clap clap clap] blah blah blah”.
Massachusetts voters sent a clear message to Washington D.C. by voting in a Republican after many years of staunchly supporting democratic candidates. The people have spoken loud and clear – Enough Already!!

My hope for the new decade is that it will be the start of an upward climb out of the pit of emotional and economic despair this country has been experiencing.
We need huge changes on every level of society and in every facet of our daily lives. Let’s strive to make wiser decisions for ourselves and hope that the people we elect into office make a major paradigm shift in the way they represent us and our interests.
Small business and manufacturing have been the backbone of this country since day one. Unfortunately the piles of cash huge companies throw around has leveraged out the the individual capitalist, setting the stage for the last several decades of Corporatism. I suggest that we stop pandering to these mega-corporations that have pillaged and plundered this nation for the last fifty years and bring back true capitalism. Let’s tie these pirates up in rules and regulations to prevent them from continuing this rape of our home, and let’s free the individual by removing the barriers, taxes, red tape, and fees that have strangled the life out of us making it nigh impossible for an individual to work for themselves.
As a country and as a society we need more responsibility on the individual level and the freedom to make those choices. The last thing we need is another decade of big bureaucracy with communist/socialist delusions of of some quasi-utopia. Let’s say goodbye to “politically correctness” and cut momma’s apron strings so we can grow up and start taking care of business.
