As I watch the events in the world unfold it seems that America has come to a point in its evolution that we cannot turn back from. People who would call themselves republicans, are at war with their own party leaders.
And the T.E.A. Party seems to be hijacked by a select few who know nothing of their nation's history and care nothing for their nation's constitution. The only thing they care about is invoking some sick and twisted Christian type Sharia Law.
Do the the regular republicans even know who they voted for anymore?
On the same token, do we as democrats even know who we voted for anymore? Our president said he would walk the lines with our unions when they needed to fight for their rights, and what did we get? Oh, just a few talking points.
THAT'S IT? Granted, we had Egypt and Libya going on. But President Obama could of just taken one day out of his schedule and put on his comfortable shoes and stand with the people that elected him.
I've been thinking about what are nation has been put thru for the last decade and we as Americans have a right to fear. Our economy is in the tank, just beginning to breathe new life. We have three costly wars that have cost our family members lives, our friends lives, our treasure, our safety and security, and most importantly our freedom.
So what now? Most republicans have just pushed and pushed for power grabs left and right, doing everything to cut even the most basic services at the expense of tax breaks for the top 2% of our nation with subsidies to match. And what of the democrats? Government so big, it can't get out of its own way. Departments that cover departments that cover departments. Where is the line on both sides?
So what do we do now?
Time for truth from me, I have really never voted, I honestly never cared to. The reason why was I thought the world would just forget about me and let me do my own thing and leave me be. But this past decade has been different. So much hate has been spread, so many lives lost, so much money gone, so many jobs eliminated. And the worst of all: The American Dream almost completely gone from view, that if fades into the darkness with all but a slight sliver of light.
I stand now, woken up to the nightmare before us. Seeing those who seek power too much, and those who seek power not enough.
I SAY TO THEM! I SCREAM AT THEM WITH ALL MY BEING!
I WILL NOT GO INTO THE DARKNESS WITH MY AMERICAN DREAM!
I WILL WALK THRU THE DARKNESS YOU CREATED TO SERVE THE TRUE LIGHT OF AMERICA!
