So he's basically declared himself the new dictator of the US. Are we even officially CALLED the United States anymore? When have we ever been united about anything? We just let the government fill us with fear and then walk all over us taking everything that we once held dear. Remember how we would say as children that this is the best country on the planet because of all the freedom we have that others don't get to enjoy? Well, how does it feel now to know that we no longer have those freedoms either.

Remember all the bumper stickers that read "Freedom Isn't Free"? Well it isn't. Apparently the cost of freedom is your freedom. All investigations into the White House for various violations of the Constitution and for War Crimes are going sour because the White House keeps issuing Executive Orders denying access to files and ignoring supoenas AND judges and the congress are too weak and scared to do anything about it. They have all the evidence they need and all the reasons to toss the entire Executive branch into prison (please let it be Gitmo...please forgive me. I'm mormon so apparently according to Romney I enjoy torturing people) and start fresh. Instead they sit on their hands twiddling their thumbs up their collective asses. Not a single presidential candidate is going to say a word because when they come into power (if they come into power) they want the same dictatorship like powers that Bush currently enjoys.

I swear on everything I hold dear, if Bush does anything to hamper the end to his administration I will join the uprising. If there is no uprising, I will start one. It's time to stop being brain-washed pansy asses people. If you truly believe this land is blessed by the Lord or if you believe that this country is or at least WAS great or if you even believe in defending your basic human rights then you need to stop cowering in fear. You need to stop saying to yourself, "what can I do? I'm just one person." .

Stop being weak. Stand up and fight. The Lord would not have us hating one another and threatening one another. That does not mean that the Lord asks us to lie down while our free will is being taken from us. He has sanctioned wars in the past. Our freedoms are being destroyed by the Executive Branch of our government (and Dick Cheney too). Don't feel like getting involved with politics? This is what has come of 70% of you sitting on YOUR collective hands with YOUR thumbs up your asses every election. If you continue to not let your voice be heard then I wish nothing but the absolute worst on all of you because by help me God the worst WILL come to you.

Good day and God Help Us All.
