I have lost faith in America (OT)

Oh Jeez, what can I say. I am sure I have never agreed with Bluering on anything (bar climbing). But on losing faith in our country, perhaps I can understand, but from a different point of view. Bluey is totally right wing to the core, I am a liberal, dichotomies come to mind, if that is the correct word.

Al Gore has shown that he is as a total hypocrite. Bill Clinton rubs elbows with white collar crooks. The triad of Dubya/Cheney/Rumsfeld are criminals.

Obama? I actually voted at the US embassy in Dublin for Hilary Clinton. But Obama, same old, same old ("Yes we can change" a total crock of bowel movements). Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Obama is another sell-out, I used to like him, but my respect is gone.

And the Repugs? They do not care for America or the common people. And the masturbating Tea Party'ers, frightful.

In Ireland, I used to like Labour leader Eamon Gilmore, but he is a total sell-out. Total.

Politics suck, just like dementia.

There must be a better way.

Quit watching the evening news. Stop listening to:

1. Talk radio, of any kind. If you hear people talking change the channel or better ditch the radio and listen to an iPod

2. DO NOT LISTEN TO CLASSIC ROCK. Ever. That sh#t is depressing, like funeral home music. I mean seriously depressing. Try not to listen to anything that claims to be rock and roll and is older than say, 10 years.

Those two things alone, do nothing else, and your faith will resume and you'll see that our lovely home of California is a very nice place to be.

Me? I didn't watch the news last night. I spent that time talking to my climbing partner planning this evening's escape to the mountains. Even if the news is blathering on the telly I don't really watch it or pay close attention. Its good to know the weather, occasionally. But even watching your local weather troll is depressing if you do it too much.

You probably think my head is in the sand.... but you know it is not. One can pay attention without paying attention. One can take note of a traffic accident without gawking at it, too. Unless traffic accidents are your business, I counsel that NOT gawking at them is the best possible thing you can do. Gawk at too many accident scenes and that sh#t will mess your head up. I mean consider your average highway patrolperson? Nuff said!!!

Do you understand my counsel? THINK about it before responding. ;-)

Good luck with your lost faith!

This doesn't apply just to Bluering, but since he's the one who is complaining about how the US is going down the tubes, I ask him: "Did you do anything to help? Did you offer yourself for military service? Did you get involved in politics? Did you volunteer to campaign for the causes you believe in?"

Because if you didn't get out there fighting and taking risks for what you believe in, you have no right to whine.

If you want god back into the US and all the islamists and commies and brown people and atheists and homosexuals and whatever else out, then you've gotta get back out there and fight.

Pretty much. You've long been pro-god, you'vestarted a thread about communists, you've spoken out against allowing equal rights to homosexuals, you've been loud about your anti-islamist feelings, and I think (although I could be mis-remembering) you've made it clear that you think the borders should be sealed more tightly against brown people.

Poor bluey, there is absolutely no evidence to support this delusional claim. In fact the evidence against Mittens paints a much different picture.

Nice try though.
