I have just about had enough, but given the news each day ranting on just one subject is getting harder and harder.
Each and every day this administration takes us, as a country, to new lows.
What rant exactly should I focus on today?
So many to choose from, so little time.....
More...
First, there is the lack of medical insurance in this country. Millions of Americans are going without health insurance, or seeing their costs rise way beyond the rise in their wages. Actions addressing this problem are AWOL in Congress.
Instead of health care, Congress is out "protecting" the flag. Our constitution is being attacked, instead of a bill of rights, they are attempting to create a document that will take away rights of citizens, in order to protect a symbol of "freedom" only now that symbol will represent the chipping away of freedom.
How about the Pentagon going after 16 year old for possible service? MSNBC is reporting on the Pentagon now creating a database, through a private company, that will give them the ability to contact 16 year olds.
Are the Republicans who supported this war enlisting? No, they are doing their "jobs" by staying in college, working their "important" jobs as our military continues to seek bodies to fill the ranks. What part of "support" do these Gopers not get? Do they think that their support of this war will be fought with other people? Are they going to ever see the light and realize that voting for a war means you need to be willing to FIGHT IT YOURSELF?
And then the San Jose Mercury News reports on the fraud that big companies have been involved in with pensions.
And Iraq, more bombings today, and Afghanistan is expected to become more of a battlefront as elections near.
And torture? The UN states it has reliable reports of torture at Gitmo, by Americans.
Worse, as was already diared this week, the LA Times reported on how current Iraqi security and police (under our watch) are as brutal as Saddam, only this time they get to hide behind the flag that symbolizes "freedom."
Big Bird is being attacked for being too liberal, the "energy bill" in Congress, created BY the energy industry, does little to address conservation and alternative energy use.
Social Security? Republicans are yet again trying to destroy a system that is for far too many Americans their base in retirement.
Let us not forget Senator Durbin, who made a statement, which was correct, yet attacked on one word, not on the content, Durbin apologizes, and the Right Wing keeps on attacking him. Don't our Democrats have any memory at all? Swift boat vets ring a bell? The right never backs down, look at Frist with Terri S. Democrats make statements, back off of them, and create more of a problem with their lack of backbone then I can begin to even come close to stating here.
These are but a few of the things that I am choosing from as my "rant of the day." You more then likely have others I have not listed here, feel free to add to the list.
What gets me is how Americans overwhelmingly state, in polls, that congress is not attending to the "interests" of Americans, yet they keep electing the same idiots OVER and OVER.
