time to start calling the shots...

We've finally come to it. Election time. Thank God.
Two years ago, our country was given the opportunity to change the course of it's fate for something better. To choose leadership with goals of reason not madness. Sadly, the voices of those supporting that change were drowned in a sea of fear, self-loathing, and ignorance. Conservative train-wreck legislation implored everyone who wanted to protect America and loved Jesus to vote for their Republican representative. Vote to "protect" marriage from the evil heathens among us wanting to sully the institution. Vote to continue supporting our Dear Leader in his endeavor to rid the poor, desperate Middle East of Satan's evil and bring the glory of democracy to their nations.
They won, then. Bush and Co. got what they wanted, two more years of unchecked power to further erode the American Constitution. Two more years to take more of our freedoms and toss them to the curb. Two more years to send innocent men and women to die for ego and personal legacy. Two more years to LIE. Two more years to pad retirement accounts and three car garages. Two more years to keep sending the economy down the drain. Two more years to give the rest of the world more reason to hate us. Two. More. Fucking. Years.

Those of you out there that voted for this shit, are you happy? Did you get what you wanted? Do you feel safer and more superior to the rest of us? Still? Not so much?

Are you going to finally stand up and do what you know is right this time around? Can you possibly pull yourself away from the television and Dancing With The Stars long enough to actually learn the awful facts about what is and has been for years going on in Iraq? In North Korea and Iran? In your own damn backyard!

It's time people. Time to send every one of the lying scumbags back home and hopefully into the waiting arms of the justice system, what little there is left of it. If you can't bring yourself to swallow your own damned pride and vote what you know is the only course of action that could possibly bring us away from this dangerous precipice ignorance has led us to, then do us all a favor and stay the fuck home. Just don't vote. Your absence will only help us bring some much needed checks and balances back into the government.
