Why Should I Be Bitter?
The Supreme Court's ruling on stopping the Florida vote recount swindled me and most American voters from getting the president we wanted.
9/11 was used as a pretext to launch a whole series of laws and practices (snooping on internet traffic and phone calls, etc.) that are in direct contradiction to the provisions of the Constitution and our heritage of liberty.
Tax cuts for the wealthy have resulted in a burdensome national debt the people may never be able to pay off.
Political interference with government scientists caused a major setback in recognizing and dealing with global warming.
Misinformation and lies were used to launch an invasion and occupation of a country on the other side of the planet. I've been speaking, writing, and petitioning against it since before it began.
The 2004 election was stolen again by massive voting fraud in Ohio.
I voted for a Democratic Congress in 2006, expecting it to take decisive action to bring the country back from the brink to which the neocons have pushed it. Instead of standing up for right against evil, the Democratic leader took the most effective tool "off the table", setting a precedent that the Congress will let the Executive Branch run wild, murdering, torturing, lying, and bankrupting the country.
Why should I be bitter, after only 7 years of being bilked, swindled, and fleeced?
