Bad Dreams?
Sometimes I think this is all just a bad dream and that I will wake up to a world filled with political harmony and peaceful international relations. But no, day after day the nightmares continue. It’s hard to accept the "gut feelings" and beliefs of the few in the administrative branch who go against the will of the electorate. I quote one of the writers from today’s Huffington Post: "We know you believe in a Higher Power, Mr. Bush, but why should any American mother or dad let you put their son in harm’s way just because you ‘strongly believe’ that his being wasted by a roadside IED in an Islamic civil war makes the world more peaceful and the U.S. more secure."
Every time someone tries to bring some major change in society the opposition marches out some slick talker to take issue. Michael Moore’s latest offering in film argues for a national health care system. Here comes Dr. Sanjay Gupta telling us he’s all wrong.
Senator Vitter from Louisiana got caught with his name showing up on the call girl list. I can just see Larry Flynt of Hustler magazine revel in this accomplishment. This not to excuse Vitter nor compliment Flynt; it’s just to further illustrate my point.
Mr. Libby received the commutation of his prison sentence, and more than likely will receive a full pardon on Bush’s exit from office. We’re constantly reminded of the sins of Bill Clinton in this case and others. If he did bad things, I guess it’s okay for them.
Maybe I’m not sleeping and this isn’t a bad dream. It’s seems to be reality. Well, a guy can dream about decency, can’t he?
