You've got to hand it to any
man that gets an itch in his craw to say things as he sees them. For too long in America have we looked to our elected officials as "leaders." Ever since FDR, the media has been building up and breaking down our President like he becomes some kind of Dancing Shiva who calls us to Enlightenment with one hand and to our certain death with the other.
But here's the deal for those of you that have never read The Declaration of Independence or the Constitution--the People are the leaders and it is from this body of leaders that elected representation gets chosen to take the People's concerns about government to the government.
America was founded upon steel resolve and, sometimes, outright murder. The enemies of America have morphed skin colors and belief systems but it has always been essentially the same enemy--collected power being wielded against the freedom of the individual. Yes, sometimes we have slipped from this definition when justifying attacking other nations but such is the nature of dumb human beings making decisions in the dark points of history which aren't as clear in the context of the moment as they are with the benefits of time, research and exposition.
But the problem is that we common citizens are no longer steely resolved individuals acting in their own best interest in light of how they affect their family, friends and community.
American citizens today have been raised in a Matrix-like incubation tank of dependency and submission where they have been threatened for so long by laws that are supposed to curb "collective" behaviors that are being acted out on an individual level and therefore must be dealt with on an individual level (this means seeing worth in every human being and is something our government has had, ahem, a hard time always doing).
The worst thing that ever happened to this country is that it became able to be addressed under the term "American Culture." It used to be that individuals made the culture around them, shaping the world like John Gault, despite the actions of the parasites and thieves who feed off the hard work of others.
But now it is some abstract notion of culture that creates individuals who aren't individual at all, but rather they are automotons doing the locomotion in a perspective line dance that seems to go on forever but has a very definite, abrupt and surprising ending.
It's been a long time since we've had true leaders in Washington and if I could stand before Congress and ask any question and be guaranteed of the answer, it would be this:
WHO THE FUCK HAS BEEN RUNNING OUR GOVERNMENT FOR THE PAST 100 YEARS WHILE YOU HAVE CONSPIRED TO MILK THE AMERICAN CITIZEN FOR THE HARD EARNED PRODUCT OF THEIR LABOR?
What legacies do you think Congress today is leaving for their ancestors, a bunch of wooden "gotcha laws" that has driven the fear of law so deep into the populace that very few are capable of understanding the benefits of taking calculated risks anymore? If that is their idea of legacy, then I wish George Washington would have just surrendered instead of crossing the Delaware river to regroup and beat the enemy outright. It's a damn outrageous shame to have fallen so far in the eyes of our forefathers. Let us make a pact to change the direction of this sorrowful series of political decisions on the part of the leaders of all nations in the last 100 years.
Don't forget that we are here to learn, evolve and get the fuck off this planet.
MARS, BITCHES!!!!
