Somebody Slap Me!!


Democrat…..Republican….Independent….I could give two (*^^ a’ (*^%^. The thing human beings existing on this earth need to realize is politicians in any country, of any party, and of any belief are not there to represent you. These people represent an idea………..an idea that normal everyday humans have nothing to do with anymore. The waves of time have distorted power and amplified it to such an extent that corruption and greed seem as intricate as breathing itself. I have nearly stopped caring.

Growing up I was excited by the possibility of causing change. I have carried this excitement into my adulthood, mutated though it may be, this excitement has a purpose. So many members of my generation are afraid to speak up, convinced there is no reason to change what works……….somehow convinced that what we are doing today will work forever. Sorry Generation X, but what we are doing to the world will not work long at all. Your ability to enrich and secure the lives of people other than yourself and family is a gift, though at times it may seem a burden.

Should God be in school? Should Abortion be Legal? Should we cut taxes? What’s going on with government spending? Is Global Warming Real? Is the Apocalypse Upon us? Should we blow up the world before they blow us up first? Daunting isn’t it. I had a conversation with my wife and mother recently and came to this conclusion thanks to their help. Government should not tell me what to think. Government should not be in my Bedroom, Household, or Business. Government should not be so much about Morality and Christianity and Freedom. Government should run the country plain and simple.

I have been trying to watch the beginning of the debates and come to an extremely scary conclusion. These politicians are not different from American Idol Contestants. They might as well be Pop Stars, or Reality TV divas, or on the cover of Teen or Gossip Magazines. Our society is becoming such a joke, and what do we do, re-elect and watch intensely for what these dumb (&*^% do next season. "They want you to answer like this, say something about this, comb your hair the other way, wear the black suit it makes you look more powerful, smile, kiss your wife, hug the special kid, act strong, show your hip youthful edge." Soon Hilary Clinton will shave her head, check into rehab, and steal Brad Pitt from Angelina Jolie. John McCain will walk into the debates with 50 cent rapping “Wankstas” like he is Mayweather ready to challenge Terrorists to a cage match. Obama will make a cameo appearance on TRL promoting his new Pop Single “Paris Hilton’s Jail House Love Affair” a duet with Mary J. Blige. Somebody slap me!!

I need my elected officials worried about U.S. and world Economics, not Gay Marriage. I need my elected officials to make quick decisions in times of crisis, not answer every question based on what the surveys say. I need my politicians to fight for justice, not revenge. I need my elected officials to improve health care and the quality of life, not bicker over Abortion, Church, Morality…I mean what a joke like any of these politicians have real Morality. I don’t care what you care about Democrats. I don’t care what you care about Republicans. I don’t care what you care about Terrorists. Because you have forgot the most basic of truths………you need to care what I care about first. And not based on a survey of Caucasian Middle Class Males in my age range who are married to minorities and listen to Hip-Hop music. This doesn’t work when you are dealing with living breathing human beings. Knowledge is Peace. Peace is Knowledge. When the Media crumbles so will your corruption. 1
