Lets play pretend for a moment (damned sad.....)
Pretend if you will that you, as joe citizen, have done things akin to what this administration has done.

Think about that for but a moment.

A lot of people are dead because you lied (really, it was self defense, only to find out later the perp had no weapon). You took money from a charitable organization that helps the poor and gave it to rich people and used it to buy more weapons to kill the folks you lied about earlier.

And while your house was burning down with people inside you sat reading a book. Never mind that you could have done something more and stopped your neighbor's house from being firebombed or the market down the street. No, you sat and then ran. Hell, you even had warnings of the attack and whistle blowers telling you even more, and yet you didn't alert people, you just ignored them.

I could probably go on all night. You would think such a person would be in jail or at the least fired. But no, they still have their job making more money then I might ever hope to.

What is wrong with this picture?

So tomorrow when I read of more killed, when I see people going without mental healthcare, or health care in general, when I read about the people of this land who are being forced to give up more of their paychecks in gas prices and less on food, when I see....well so many damned sad things I will sit here and wonder: How can one man and his buddies do so much and not damned thing is done about it?

Note to dems running for office: time to call all this out in your campaign ads, hot and heavy. And tell the people you will bring justice back to this country. While a guy smoking pot in his own home can face prison bush faces getting more money and perks.----WTF is going on??
