We spent all of the cold war fighting the ideas of communism under the assumed belief that it was the mortal enemy of our capitalistic free trade system. The secondary concern we had with the communist system is that the government usually calls for alot less of a democratic selection. But i ask to you now citizens of America... We did not elect by majority our current leader in his first race. The people of America spoke, and our voice was muffled by our very own government. Regardless of you beliefs as to who would have made a better president, as any patriot would realize that was Not Democratic. In fact we really arent a Democracy in true form. We are a Republic. So fighting for our freedom and ideals of democracy and freedom? The freedom to what.... Choose our leader? that has been revoked. I had 9 officers enter into my home the other night and search my house. With out a warrant. They called me a criminal in my own living room and left just as fast as they proceeded to ruin my house and found nothing of valuable mention. Call that democracy? I call it a failure of the system of beliefs that we claim to hold so dear and fight for in this country. You know what happened when my roomate and our irrate landlord went to file a fomal complaint (a "gaurenteed" right) we were told that it didnt happen and that we had no complaint. Welcome to rapidly declining state of things here at home. Perhaps if Mr. Bush had not been so obsessed with his foriegn policy, then the domestic situation wouldnt be as horrible as it is now. We worry so much about freedom and rights of others a world away when the people of America, right here at home, are starving, not making payments, living in fear of debt and out of control police agencies. Children get injured everyday and die of simple blood infections due to their lack of healthcare. The price of gas is 400% what it was a mere 7 years ago. when the 7 years before that it rose a mere 11% reasonably due to inflation, if you know your economics. I wake up every morning wondering if I'll get to eat today. Or what I do if I get sick. Now more than ever I fear my very exsistance and feel dirty and violated. By the people that were sworn to protect me. And the people who claim to represent me further their own adgendas and bank account balance numbers in cities far from here with out ME being represented at all. We fought the revolutionary war to get rid of a tyranny that was placed upon us from 3,00 miles away. We traded that Tyrant. But now i feel the force of many more tyrants. About about 550 to be exact. 435 House members. 100 members of Senate. 535 Congressional members. 9 Supreme court "justices" and The Sinister Six in the big white house down Pennsylvania Avenue. Sadely this isnt some comic book fantasy crew of evil doers. This is the face of America. Right now our country is represented to the rest of the World by a man who cares more about the freedom of those thousands of miles away than his very own sworn countrymen. We suffer here as others are getting promises of true democracy. While we have one of the most fatally inefficient healthcare systems in the world, shadowed by better systems found in countries we classify as "third world" And The man can not even speak intelligently in any form of address. Sad day for America. Washington didn't fight for our country to be held prisoner. Lincoln didn't preserve the Union to see it destroyed from within. FDR did not save our country from certain ecenomic collapse, and nuture us back to a state of prosper for the sole cause of our country a mere 63 years later being pushed by an incompetant leader into the worst economic state the country has seen. I cringe at the though that the country I love so much is forced to live like this. Dont judge us by our momentary vacuum in leadership. We are not a war mongering, Hateful people. We are jsut as scared and confused about what President Bush is going to do next as you are.
Dear World, I Apologize.
