I really really really don't want to be pessimistic. I swear I am the one who always gets fooled because I believe in people until the bitter end (naive sometimes). But I really think...where is the hue and cry? Where is the outrage? The president just admitted that he broke the rule of the Constitution and......virtually nothing. Christmas commercials. Worship Wal-mart. Watch Joey and the white stupid wife in Harlem. Where oh where is that missing WASPish white college boy? Oprah's Favorite Things. Of course many liberal people write opinions and editorials..but can we trust the NYT since they kept the story from us for a year? Way to gain cred there. I just don't think they are going to wake up. I will try to give it some more time; but dammit; I have a 2 year old and I want the best life for him NOW not 20 years from now. If nothing by the mid-terms; sorry all; I'm outta here to find a place to raise my family in peace. I will fight with you until then; and will continue to fight as much as I can; but I believe that I must draw a line when it comes to putting my family in danger. I see a real possibility of that being a problem. When my baby is in a position to take care of himself; I will rejoin the fray with my whole being. THis is a choice I have to make. I am sure many do not agree; but my family comes first. And nothing can be done without the sheep (in congress too)getting a clue NOW NOW NOW not five months from now. The total black energy coming out of DC just keeps getting bigger and darker. Fox News just has too much a hold on them. They just don't get it and they won't listen until they are either metaphorically or physically lying on the ground bleeding from a mortal wound. Even then it may be "god's will" (no offense moderate Christians). It will take tanks in the streets and curfews and torture of your next door neighbor and papers and complete poverty and starvation and years of imprisonment and thousands of deaths before they will get it. I want to believe in the American spirit..but I see no glimmer of it in the masses. They are just uncomfortable. Oh; and never mind; they'd rather spend time telling me I'm gong to hell for being non-Christian or a stripper. What a waste of energy. I see this fork in the road coming and I dread it with every fiber in my being...but it's going to happen and I'd best buck up and prepare. So many things about this country that were great..I hope my son gets to see them rise again. I don't think I will. If the sheep do not wake up NOW the fight will be years...decades in the doing and the toll will be heavy. I wish to shelter my child until he is old enough to hold his own. I cannot do so in what this country is so close to becoming. I also may not be able to teach him the values and ideas that this country is founded on. I cannot take that chance. I am not running away. I do not want to run away. I also do not want to get caught behind enemy lines with a family to take care of; when I can very well see what is coming and prepare. I have not made the decision yet; but it looms not far ahead... Pour a little more in that glass; would you? I can't tell if that's half or not.
