I feel like a pitcher in the baseball game of life, I want to throw three strikes and see the present "team" called out.
But alas, the umpire is calling the shots, left and low, and batter after batter walks. The sun is hot and I'm sweating tears.
My team is kicking the dirt with their cleats, their caps pulled low, with sunglasses to block the light, the bases are loaded, and our score is zero.
If only the home crowd would stand up from the left and from the right and from the center, and boo the umpire, and the visiting team.
Perhaps a big rumble from the bleachers would catch the umpires attention and the pitching calls would become balanced.
I am not writing this to step on toes but to express my deep seated pain for the ruin of America.
When the signers of the constitution and bill of rights had granted individual freedom, they shook hands and Mr. Jefferson went home to direct his slaves.
Don't get me wrong, Mr. Jefferson and all the signers are my hero's, but within this action, a false standard was created.
This double standard has been shown in the overtaking of the native's land. The Monroe doctrine and manifest destiny are prime examples of double speak, in fact that is why the Indians said that white man speaks "with forked tongue".
Saying one thing and doing another, is the rule of the thumb for the Bu$h bombers. They have sucked in the media, the church, and politicians, in a double speak fury of rampant patriotic lies.
I have just read an article by Fred Kaplan, available at slate.msn.com/id/2100549, dated May 14, 2004. This shows the manipulation by Bush to continue the Iraq war, while we are feed wmd lies.
The list of distortion and lies grows longer everyday, while the treasury has been pilfered, and Bu$h and Co. run this country like a huge Enron show.
I wonder as I kick my toe in the dirt, and get ready for the next pitch, when will we see the end of this evil manifest destiny?
There are a bunch of links I would like to put in this rant but am rather pc illiterate. I am a dropout cannonfodder survivor, but a true patriot.
They say the darkest time of night is just before dawn, this would be a good time for Bu$h and Co. to sneak out and leave this playing field to the real people!
