Our country is SICK and headed in the wrong direction. It has a 9/11 VIRUS that is spread by FEAR, perpetuated by Bush administration lies and exaccerbated by the seemingly never ending war in Iraq.
The federal government, led by the Bush administration has failed the American people on so many fronts, there is hardly a category of governance left untainted. Our national security is at risk because our economy is tanking. Our homeland security inspite of the billions of dollars spent at the airports, ports, and borders is mediocre at best and non-existant at least. OUR MORAL authority as a nation is damaged. And because of government failures to perform, the American people live under a cloud of darkness- fearful of losing their jobs, homes, health care.
Our people are losing their grasp on the American dream and its mission in the world.
Is is our time to step up and carry the banner of HOPE and cure the sickness that has permeated our country over the last 7 years.
So I am shredding my shroud of 9/11 AND joining Tom Friedman's 4th of July people who honor the heroes of our past, but celebrate life and move forward with hope.
There is a disease that has spread throughout our country since 9/11 that the Republicans cannot cure because they are the souce of the contamination. The symptoms are:
FEAR shrouding our every decision,
DEPRESSION of our financial resources;
ACHES and PAINS at the gas pump and at the grocery store,
STOMACH ACHE from hunger for truth, ANXIETY about high prices, lost jobs and wages;
MUSCLE ACHE from running up the national debt and Trying to do it ALL;
BLURRED VISION from uncertainty and confusion;
EAR ACHES from the lies, propaganda and harsh noises coming from errant leadership, shallow media and special interest whores;
HEAD ACHE from information overload.
SORE THROAT from gullibility;
DIARRHEA from contaminated foods and drugs,
CONSTIPATION from a broken government,
BREATHING DIFFICULTIES from near drowning in bills and credit card debt;
FRUSTRATION from missed opportunities for peace and "forever war".
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. Republicans offer us the same ole "snake oil remedies" wrapped in a pretty package. There is HOPE for a cure. The Democratic Party has the antidote to this 7 year epidemic. It comes wrapped in HOPE, TRUTH AND OPPORTUNITY. It is time to switch physicians and call DR. DEMObamaCRAT. Enough is Enough!!
