Ok, I'm gonna shoot from the hip on this one. Only my opinion, not backed by any quotes or anything, jost how I see shit...
Bush fucked us over and made us look like asses. We were not attacked by Saddam Hussein. Iraq probably has less ties to terrorism than our country does.
Where are we now? Other countries of the world will surely never respect us. Not that they ever did, but now it's only fear of our brazen disrepect for the opinions of the international community.
Security at airports these days is ridiculous. It does nothing to thwart terror. If it did, where are the terrorists we've caught? All the security does is inconvenience American citizens. If you want to secure this country, shut down the borders, I agree with that aspect of the essay quoted above. It's as if we are made to be prisoners under the watchful eye of the gov't just because we are citizens. Meanwhile, illegal immigrants are reaping the benefits of social assistance and all the benefits of being citizens without any of the hassle we have to go through.
Finally, will I vote for a president? Nope.
Why? Because there's nobody worth voting for, and there never will be. Any truly revolutionary president will not even make it on the ballot. The old heads in corporate America will not accept anyone that they can't buy off, and as such, they are the ones who really run this country. It just so happens that the Bush family is a part of this corporate machine. Coincidence? I think not. The American presidency is a joke, and our rights being taken away is the punchline. Don't get me wrong, this may be the best country in the world to live in, but it's far from perfect or even ideal.
