I'm telling you, 50 years from now, we'll look back and ask: How the hell did we let these people get away with so much ****?
The entire eight years of W is an embarrassment. Not to them. To us. Because we let this **** happen. Some played a more active role in it than others, but still, a whole lot of us endorsed what was happening by simply not caring enough to be outraged.
We failed ourselves. This system of government is controlled by us. And we've stopped caring. When they can't fit everything into a 30-second "update" or scroll the important **** across the bottom of our screen so we don't have to stop watching the show that's "really important," we don't give a ****. If it's the least bit complex, a large portion of this country doesn't even try to get it. Look at Iraq. We've got people on this site making 12-graf posts about the war and they've got absolutely no clue why those people are fighting or even who's fighting.
We've allowed these dip****s in the White House and in Congress to turn our system of government into a con game. You could fit the names of the people in either place who have legitimate morals and won't vote with their bank accounts onto a post-it note. The rest of them are running an endless campaign. They'll sell out any vote to the highest bidder, no matter how serious or how stupid. ****, just look at the ban on assault weapons. The majority of this country and 75 percent of Congress believe that those weapons should be banned. But what happened?
It's our fault. Oh, sure, those crooked ****s share some blame. But it's really on us. I mean, if I went to the mall today, parked my car, left my doors standing open, my wallet, iPod and a roll of cash lying on the seat and went inside for a couple of hours, who's fault would it be when I back out and found those things gone?
