So instead let's put Mitt Romney into office. The Left-Wing Republican. I love it guys. Let's throw away our expectations and settle for anybody but ______. That's the American way I hear about so much.
Nothing will change under Mitt. He'll probably make a few laws that will make conservatives feel better regarding gays and such, but that'll be about it.
We'll end up in military action with Iran at the least. Our economy will strain further or possibly implode. Our rights will be even more stomped out in the name of "national security". Corporations will get even richer, and the voice of the everyday American will get silenced even further. Romney might as well be Obama. All he's missing is the "swagger".
The good-ole-days are gone gentlemen. Greed has far surpassed honesty or liberty. My generation will be consumed by the machine we have allowed to be created, and still foolishly support.
You know my life dream has always been to be an officer in the Army. I'm one month away from meeting with the ROTC Major at James Madison University and signing up to go to basic this summer, followed by 2 years at the university (already did 2 at community college). I thoroughly support every member of our armed services, and value every sacrifice they have ever made. I've always wanted to be what I have grown to respect so much. It is only in these past few weeks that I have been questioning my dream. Why should I go get killed in Iran, China, North Korea, etc. because our lawmakers want to police the world? Afghanistan I can understand given the circumstances, but enough is enough.
We face no real threat from these countries. Our bully tactics are what cause them to raise the defenses they do. Attacking them in order to prevent an "impending attack" is sheer lunacy. The US will not and cannot be destroyed from the outside. How many of you would fight against an invasion of American soil with every bit you had? Every other nation already knows the answer. Imperialism is over. Any fight that will take place in the future will come from over-reaction to perceived threats, not real ones.
You nailed it on the head AZ. None of you want to change me. I know I can't change any of you. I'll vote for RP in the primary in March. At least I'll have exercised my rights while I still can. I'll keep snooping here, but I'm pretty well done with the bickering. Looks like I have a tough decision to make next month guys. Time to think it over.
