Freedom! Or not…
The President of the United States said that one group of people has the same rights as any other under the Constitution. This infuriates many people, because they hate freedom (therefore, they hate America). I should run for office. First say “I’m gonna say NO to the mosque at ground zero!” then when I get elected, start saying NO to any church built near a site where a christian killed someone, and a move to shut out anyone who speaks out against our nation. Seems like we have some people who will use 9/11 to their political gain, and forget that the people who died on that day died for freedom.
I am clearly angry at Republicans, who were the first to rally the people behind “Freedom” and going to war to protect our freedom, but are also the first to shit on our freedoms. If the President of the United States did anything even remotely close to stopping that mosque from being built, then we would have effectively destroyed the First Amendment and everything this country stands for. Republicans are bringing this country down faster than any terrorist could imagine. I’m terrified of the future, not because of people in the Middle East, but because of our very own politics.
I need a big stick with the First Amendment on it, and to start hitting people with it.
My view on current politics
This weekend, everyone is talking about the healthcare reform bill going through the House.

The cost of insurance tends to be staggering, and I sometimes wonder if it’s better to just invest that money in a “rainy day” fund. But then you go to the doctor when you’re sick (I just had Upper Respiratory Infection) and you walk out with a staggering bill that, along with possible missed work, leaves your wallet feeling empty. I don’t think that anyone in this country should be ruined financially just because they were sick. Read the rest of this entry »
