I often wonder how people can forget the last 8 years. We had a President that empowered the rich, destroyed the middle class, went to war by attacking a sovereign nation with a lie, allowed torture, outsourced our jobs, brought unemployment to an all time high and destroyed the economy to the point that it came extremely close to a depression. How do people forget these things so soon is baffling. It proves the limited mindset of the American people.
Americans have fallen into a trap set up by the perpetrator's. The repugnants and the media have so much negativity swirling that its hard to take a breath. I'm hoping by writing this diary I can vent and release some of MY frustration. I honestly feel like I'm going to explode.
More below the fold.
In my 54 years of living in this country I've never witnessed as much malice and deceit as we're seeing everyday. A historical moment has been turned into extreme hatred and divisiveness. It's caused my depression to go off the chart!
I'm so fucking tired of the bullshit being pulled on all of us by the repugnants and the media. I find myself screaming to a point it's almost become unhealthy. I can't figure out why in the hell people would work so hard to destroy our President and ignore the people that elected them. Doing everything in their power to see the President fail. IMHO this shows
me they could care less about us and this great country.
Ignoring the will of the people that voted to elect this president is incomprehensible. We voted for hope and instead we got hate. We voted for change and once again we're being controlled by the status quo.
It's a sad day in America when we all watched a historical event take place only to see many, in such a short time, turn on our President like a pack of wolves. We all worked so hard for the hope we could change our country back to the great country it once was. Instead we're being forced to witness how far the right will go to keep this from happening.
The negativity and lies from the repugnants and the media is beyond belief. There are so many events taking place that it's hard to even breath. In only 6 MONTHS we've gone from elation to being beat once again into submission.
I often wonder what the fuck it will take for the American people to let them know ENOUGH is ENOUGH and put an end to destruction! We've all seen these tactics before but once again we allow it to take place without any repercussion. It's become so outlandish that it's beyond bizarre.
We were a country that came together stronger than any other time in history. Our country changed in the eyes of the entire world. Now we're a laughing stock to many countries as they sit and watch what is taking place and how we as Americans just let it happen.
Sadly it didn't take much to sway many. We always realized we have racist and a group of people that always live on the fringe. People just waiting for any cause to cause conflict to make their voices heard. Personally I don't believe this is the majority of Americans. We proved that when we elected President Obama.
At first we had hope and held the belief that together we could change our country and get it back. Most were willing and many are still fighting for this to happen. Unfortunately the distractions and the lies have once again started to erode much of our hope.
The media has gone far and beyond being an accomplice in the destruction. Ever since President Obama has been in office he's fought for us and has tried to keep the promises he made. Instead of reporting ANY success the media has taken it upon themselves to destroy him and the American spirit.
We have witnessed a recovery bill passed on our behalf to strengthen our economy and help the middle class get back on its feet. What does the media do? They make the people believe it's a failure because we haven't seen the progress THEY expect in ONLY 6 fucking months.
We elected a president not a magician.
These are just a FEW of the recent occurrences that have been dumped on us.
They turned the Sotomayor hearing into a circus by turning empathy into racism. The irony is that the racism was seething from the other side by the confederate party.
They riled up the fringe by telling them the President wanted to take their guns and raise their taxes. This caused the fringe to empty the shelves of guns and ammunition in preparation for a revolt.
They riled of the conspiracy fringe and have covered the idiocy of the birthers while President Obama was working so hard to get Americans the health coverage they so desperately need.
Then the Professor Gates incident took place. I definitely will not argue that racism was involved as I have a black husband and 2 bi-racial children as well as 3 black grandchildren. I've experienced racism first hand. I'm surely not saying it wasn't a story worthy of being covered, what I am saying is once again they are adding fuel to the fire and use it as a distraction and smoke screen, by not letting it go, to sabotage the important issues that need to be accomplished for our country.
They've used the health care debate to make the American people believe the horrendous lies about government getting between you and your Dr., rationing health care and taxing the American people to pay for it.
If I go on any longer I will have a break down. I'm sure we all know much to well what's going on. We have seen this script before but IMHO I've never seen so much at one time. When will we put this to a stop? What must we do to let them no we WON'T let them continue to destroy our President and our country? What would our forefathers do under these circumstances? I could assure you they wouldn't idly sit by. They would revolt and put a stop to the injustice.
I'm totally worn out typing this so I will end my rant. I'm to tired to proofread it so please excuse me for any grammatical or punctuation errors. I needed to get some of this off my chest so I can enjoy my weekend.
"Peace" and "Power to the People!"
