Not-so-righteous Indignity.

Ladies and gentlemen (and I use the phrase quite loosely) of the Senate: You're fucking fired. No, seriously, that's it, hand in your cards. You're done. Enough is enough. The National Defense Authorization Act is an abomination, and you know it. First the damned patriot act, and now this? This is America, for fuck's sake! Remember America? Land of the free, home of the brave, et cetera? This convoluted compilation of coprophagia doesn't just tread on, it outright slaps the 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, and 14th amendments in the nutsack. This is not the United States I recall being taught about in school. Then again, since I've been out of school, many people have tried (some rather successfully) to rape our constitution. Remember the constitution? The very document that allows you paint chip eating, knuckle dragging buffoons to keep your outrageous salaries while not doing your job? 


The state of the union is fucking abysmal right now, and we've no one to blame but ourselves. To all of you threatening to move to Canada: Go ahead. You do that. Move up to Canada, and let this country continue its downward spiral, because that solves everything, doesn't it (note sarcasm)? What do you think will happen next? That's right, WE'LL FUCKING INVADE CANADA! They're close enough, and don't protect their borders all that well anyway, eh? Don't you think it's the next logical step? 


How about this for an idea: FIGHT BACK! God damn it, people, this is YOUR country. YOUR homeland! It is a land with a "government of the people, by the people, for the people, [that] shall not perish from the earth." Assholes! We seem to be approaching a time when the Gettysburg Address will once again become relevant. Ever read it? I mean really read it? No? Okay, here's a version updated for today:


"[Eleven score and fifteen] years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are [once again about to be] engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a [re]new[ed] birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."


Notice I didn't have to change a whole hell of a lot for it to remain relevant? 
What does that tell you? 
This war isn't being fought with muskets and cannons, it's being fought with pen and paper.
 I leave you with a great quote: 
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."


 ~Ben Franklin


And Think... REALLY think about this: 
The politicians' greatest weapon is your own complacence.
