We don’t need no politicians….

Posted By KJ ~ 5th August 2009

(as a side note, I’ve had several emails and comments that “We need to fight…you know…revolution type shit” and come on man, you can’t give up…”  Yes I.  I just did.  Now everyone pray and let’s see how Jesus runs the country.)

I That’s it.  I’m done.  Fed up.  Finished.  Kaput.

Back during the election and over the past say 10-15 years, I became more involved politically.  I began to care more about our country and our future.  I joined varoius and sundry groups, all very left leaning.  I became involved in elections, cared about the candidates (I mean who they were,  not cared about in a way that would cause me to send them flowers or a nice chianti) and generally became more aware.

Several times during the election and over the past year I’ve appeared on the radio as the leftist voice.  The voice of the left, whatever…You know the hippie guy in a room full of bankers and right wing wackos who lack the ability to think things through.  And that was okay.  It was a great time and gave me a chance to participate in and lend a voice to the electoral process in a way that most people don’t get a chance to.

But….in recent days, weeks, months…whatever…I’ve come to realize that it just doesn’t matter.  It really, really doesn’t matter.  We are screwed

I voted for Obama because I bought the “change” line that he was spouting.  I fell for it.  I actually thought that after the last few years of horrible, horrible leadership that the change might help America become a better place.  Not just for me, but for my kids, their kids, the neighbors kids and that weird guy down the street who doesn’t come out of his house much.  Yeah, even for him.

But after seeing how the nation has reacted to the election of our new president and the way that much of the country is acting like a spoiled rotten kid who didn’t get their way, it makes me sick.  It makes me sick to see right wing crazies ruining town hall meetings by spouting gibberish and yelling at and over the speakers.  Sure I believe in freedome of speech, so if you’re going to throw that argument at me I say you can eat it.  Of course you have the right to speak your mind.  But for god sake you stupid ass people, have some commmon decency.  Have the strength and courage of your convictions to engage in discourse and not just spout your slimy rhetoric over the speaker.  Have your gay ass tea parties or whatever the hell you’re calling it.  But I wonder, where were you when Bush and his gang of thugs were taking away our freedoms and rights?  Where were you when the patriot act was being ramrodded down our throats?

My questions are purely rhetorical.  I don’t give a crap where you were.  I don’t care what you think.  I don’t care how much you hate obama, or how much your taxes have gone up or really I just don’t care to listen to you at all.  Shut your mouth and get off of my damn lawn.
