Long Time No Race Riots

howdy! How ya'll doin? Feel like I haven't been here in ages. Work actually has me really busy these days. But i've reached a pause in the action and decided it was time to waste some time while at work.

So, here is my story.

The other day, i was at Easter with the Family. (happy easter to everyone by the way, happy spring, and la la la)

And for some reason the discussion turned politcal. My Aunt & Uncle are both EXTREMELY Conservative Republicans. So is my Eldest Brother. It scares the BeJeezus out of me. So, I try to stay away from talking to them. Recently, my eldest brother has claimed that what George Bush has done in Iraq was Brilliant. (my jaw hit the floor, and what ensued was an hour long conversation of stupidity, how can someone be so brainwashed?)

Well, at Easter my Aunt says, "If Obama is elected there will be racial riots all over place." ANd I'm just like what?? Okay. And my mom is disagreeing with her and saying that's a bit extreme. (oddly enough, my mother the catholic, is very much a democrat and I am so much more like her politcally than my father). My Aunt goes on to say something about how with the Democratic infighting and the big government and everything else, she doesn't want them to be in charge of our health care.

Luckily, I just kept my mouth shut.

I just told them that I was Obama All The Way and That we was finally going to Turn Washington in Chocolate City as George Clinton had Prophesized so long ago.

But really, what the hell is she thinking?

They are a very well off family who live in Lincolnshire. They just seem to disregard the whole world around them.

And i say, Well, How can they do any worse than the current administration? (who they love)

We have a Trillion Dollar War & occupation that has no end in sight. Meanwhile, we continue to deficit spend and waste money paying off the intrest on the national debt. I don't know where these tax cuts are going cause I get maybe $100 a year more back. I'm sorry, but that is fucking peanuts. Oh, and now, I might get a second $300 check, 7 years later. Once again. Peanuts. and truthfully, I am saving both my refund checks in a savings account to hopefully buy a house.

Golly, is anybody still reading?

Back to my venting. They pass an education bill, and then underfund it. They destroy all of the environmental protection we had in place. They pass a medicare bill that benefits the pharmaceuticals. They push a Social Security plan that NOBODY wanted.

And, my aunt is worried about the Democrats being charge of the Country? WOW.

I was thinking the other day though, about the two parties and how they fight so much. Small Gvmnt vs. Big Gvmnt.

aNd i suppose we need them somewhat. Other wise maybe the Gov would just get so big and so wasteful that we would eat ourselves.

end pointless rant here.
