9. How in the hell can we even rate presidents?
Each was from a completely different time period so you can only base some rating and I really hate ratings because they mean absolutely nothing. Some my fit into a specific time where one took over from the other and changed things whether for better or worse but that's about it.

Lets just look at this country and use that to judge where we are now from then and see the reality that the population consists of mainluy stupid people who see the world through their own eyes as it should be.

If we as a nation just for once worked for the same cause and to better each and everyones life without judgement then maybe we would finally get somewhere.

But as it is now we have failed to grow in the proper manner , we have cheated and lied and killed and bombed and burned and robbed no matter what form the government takes.

People blow away someone else based on race or a dollar bill or for just the sake of doing it.

What president has ever changed that screwed up mentality?

I am so tied of charts and graphs and talking points when the bottom line in all of this is mans in-capability to ever be satisfied just to have the basic needs which will always be the case. This never changes.

It's always more , and more and faster and faster and we end up worse off than before and now it's 2009 and can anyone truely say we have advanced at all. All we have to show for it is something called progress where all this has done is ruin the earth and twist and shape and form it into mans version of what it should be and yet we can't admit we have fucked it all up because of greed and power trips.

This planet is what it is and it can support just a certain amount of people yet we as humans think we have all the answers and look back at our history that we made as if there is some answer hidden in there somewhere.

If we were truely honest with history then we should look back to when we first arrived here and took the land away from the natives and hang our fool heads in shame. We murdered and killed to take land that did not belong to us and many sit here talking about god and god bless america , well if there is a god I wonder how she or he looks at us for that one.

If we would have stayed where we came from and made that work I'll bet anything that this land that is now so screwed up and poisoned and paved over would still be what it was before we set foot on it and called it ours and named it america the land that no ones free unless you have the almighty dollar.

Sir Francis Scott Key should go fuck himself with his insane banner tune that makes sense to only him and the truely delusional insane who keep this shit going like it means a damn thing.

RANT OVER .
