Novermber 4th
So lately I've been getting told that the results of the election
aren't as bad as I think they are. Let's just take a quick review. The GOP
increased their House and Senate majorities. I think about 11 states
passed discriminatory amendments to their constitution in banning gay
marriage. Bush not only won the electoral vote this year, despite starting
an unjust war and just being an all around dumbass, also won the popular
vote. Now, I seem to remember Spirow Agnew resigning amid suspicion
stemming from the Tea Pot Dome scandal (not positive about this but I do
know that he did have to resign). How has there been almost no public
outcry over the issues regarding the ties between the administration and
Enron/Halliburton/...? And don't say that it's because we're in the middle
of a war. A, Bush himself said that the war is over. B, Agnew's
resignation occurred amid the Vietnam War. For that matter, how has Bush
not been brought up on impeachment for continually misleading the American
people. Which leads me to what is really pissing me off. 80 something
percent of people who believe in moral values voted for Bush. Now this
could take awhile. Last I checked, lying is not very moral. Also, Bush
isn't exactly the person to look to for morality when you consider he has
a drunk driving charge and used cocaine. Also, when he makes such a big
deal about his religion, he should at least regularly attend church. Also,
how moral is it to judge a person as lesser than you based solely on their
sexual orientation( this is what you're doing if you believe they
shouldn.t have the same rights as you for marriage) And for my final
point, HAVE YOU FUCKING PEOPLE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS FUCKING THING CALLED
SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE? This is one of the biggest reasons for the
founding of this country, to escape the hypocrisy that is inherent in many
churches (My own included). Religion should not influence politics. I have
no problem with a person making a choice because their religion dictates
it but when you force you should never force your beliefs on another
person (*cough* IRAQ *cough*). So yeah. I think the election was that bad.
That's all I have for my rant for now.
