The $hrub is visiting Chicago today. I lay in bed this morning seriously thinking about joining the throngs of protesters I hope will be out there until I got to thinking about the most recent scandal he’s started and decided against it. Given that he’s spying on us as it is, do I really need to be added to that list?

We’re supposed to just “trust” this man to do what is right for us. King George knows what’s best for Americans and isn’t afraid to tell us what we need. We need to be safe, we need tax breaks, we need to make Iraq stable, and we need private social security?

I swear if I hear from his smug little brain the reference to Sept 11th one more time, I may just go insane. There is not one thing happening in this country today that is a direct result of that event and it is an insult to the people that perished that day to claim otherwise. This war in Iraq was planned LONG BEFORE the towers fell. I’m so disgusted with the people of this country right now. Very few people have the balls to stand up and demand the truth (which will never be given from this administration) and those that do are mocked in the media.

Wake up people.

I’m angry. Can ya tell? I’m angry that nobody gives a shit about personal privacy. I’m angry that even Republicans cannot see that King George and his cronies have stolen their party and twisted it into something it is not. In many ways, I believe in the core values of the Republican Party, (smaller government, less influence on private lives) but the current party is no longer truly Republican. I’m angry that the only other viable party, The Democrats, haven’t the BALLS to stand for anything. They’re all about posturing, polls, and being everything to everyone. Don’t be against the current administration. Be FOR something.

So here is a question I could truly use some input with. How does one not go crazy watching their liberties be stolen in the name of an unjustified war? How does one engage in life again when there is so much despair and depression over the state of things? I realize that most of this doesn’t directly affect me, but, indirectly, it sure does. What tricks do you use to not go insane?
