My Name is Kris and I Blah-g

So, we’re about 6 months into the new administration. I am less than thrilled with the path they’re taking. Not that I am surprised but yet, I am surprised! Did we get change? Yeah! But is it good change? I don’t think so. How many gazillion dollars in debt are we in now? I’ve lost count. I’m trying to figure out why we bailed out these banks and companies? Sheesh. I was asking that before the election. It was wrong to do it then and it’s just as wrong to keep doing it now. Is there no accountability any more? Why is Obama out there apologizing to all these people? Why tear ourselves down in order to make the bad guys like us more? It’s not going to work. They’re still going to hate us. They still want us dead. They hate all that America stands for. To them, it’s not ok to have liberty and freedom. It’s not ok for the people to have their say. It’s not ok to worship as we choose. It’s not ok to be successful.. Every thing we stand for is offensive to them. Is it possible to say that perhaps we’ve made our mistakes. That maybe we’re willing to rectify them and work with those who don’t share our values because as human beings, we’re willing to turn the other cheek and try to be better people? We can say it. We can certainly try. It’s worth a shot. But like all relationships, it’s a two way street and I don’t see the other guys playing along. Sure they’ll applaud Obama’s apologies but they’ll turn around and make plans to build up their arms and point them right at us. Where’s the goodwill? Say want you will about President Bush. Yeah, he made some mistakes. But I believe he was sincere in his desire to keep us protected. He was sincere in making sure we took the fight off our soil and straight to the people trying to do us harm. I think he was sincere when he said that he’d try to work with his political adversaries to create a new tone. Did it work? NO! Did he try? Yeah. But he didn’t have a prayer. Just by the very nature that he took office, the other side had it in for him. He didn’t stand a chance working with them because they had no intention of cooperating.That being said, though the  Republicans aren’t any better. Frankly, they piss me off as much as the Democrats do. I don’t think there is a single one that I could in good conscience vote for. There is not one Democrat OR Republican that are standing up for what’s right. They all seem to be in it for themselves or they’re letting special interests dictate their policies. As I read comments from people who support either side, I can understand their frustration. I can see why the last administration frustrated them so much and I can see why the current one scares so many. I wish there were a way to get rid of them all and start over. The Republican party is dying. The Democrats aren’t who they used to be either. What happen to the Americans? What happen to the love of country? What happened to compassion? What happened to standing up for what’s right? It just seems like all of the politicians are having their strings pulled by someone else. The honor in being a politician is gone. It’s about celebrity and self-gratification now. I just don’t see anyone who’s doing it now because they actually want to serve their country or the people they represent.
