--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If anything, this election has convinced me that I'm out of touch. I'm a Loser. I'm a Moron for believing that there was a candidate on Earth that could beat The Great Cowboy and that a clear majority of people shared most of my views.. Well, cats and kittens, that's clearly not the case, nor will it ever be. My morals are not the morals that most Americans hold close to them... Never mind that Morality and Spirituality are not the same thing.. My views are clearly catastrophically offbeat. My deepest thoughts are impossible to explain..
... I truly debated in myself who to vote for.. I didn't want to vote for Bush.. But I didn't really love John Kerry, either.. I wasn't familiar with most of the other names... Nader I knew of, but I knew he had no chance, as did the others.. So I went with a 'protest' vote to clearly be against Bush, and have some substantive impact-- So I voted for Kerry.

Fuck my luck. Bush won again. Four more years of stupidity to come. Probably war in Iran within 14 months, and likely North Korea. The military will be stretched to its limits. A real, new draft will start. More terror attacks overseas. Hopefully none here. More job outsourcing. Economy will tumble further. Federal bankruptcy? I hope that religious conservatives get their comeuppance. Sweating over stupid things while real chaos reigns. Too many of these clowns—the black ones and the white ones—are too Armageddon-minded and looking for The Rapture to think rationally about these events. I hope they’re happy when more jobs leave and people get even more desperate. Desperate as in crime. Social Security’s getting hacked up. Federal Head Start funding’s getting the axe. Even less affirmative action than before. White entitlement and jackass ‘colorblind’ ethos will abound.

I could never be president. My views are too out of the mainstream to be even remotely accepted by most people. For one thing, I really don’t give a damn about gay marriage—which torches my credibility with roughly 80% of people out there from jump street. For what it’s worth, why deny gay people the opportunity to have their money wasted by wedding planners, photographers, caterers and dining halls, most of whom can be counted on to charge exorbitant fees for minor returns? Why cut out such a potentially lucrative source of income and maybe give the economy a minor boost?
My other issues- Affirmative action? More of it. Reparations should be more federal minority scholarships to college & trade schools. More money into job training programs. Cut 50% of the military budget and put the money into that. $70 billion can be better spent on domestic development rather than learning how to blow up stuff better. But American policy clearly makes it clear that war is more profitable than educating people.. It will never happen, but people need to wise up to all of this ‘fighting in remote Asia and Arabia for corporate interests equals freedom on American soil’ Bullshit.
We should have a Nationalized health care system.. American political prisoners should be set free.. I don't smoke, but fuck it, legalize marijuana and tax it heavily, end the drug war madness! Let states legalize the sex trade and regulate it! Stop the world, I want to get off!

i hate this motherfucker's policies with a passion... I feel like punching him (or worse) in his goddamned smarmy face.. my hatred of his administration is like an atomic bomb ready to explode... In my fantasy world, John Muhammad would not have been so reckless in focusing his anger...

I feel like catching a bus to DC and protesting the inaugural "ceremony" with a big FUCK BUSH sign in one hand and a baseball bat in the other... I will be waving no flags as the parade goes by, I will be burning them.. I'm sure there have to be peeps out there who will represent.. Bush is
...I'm really starting to not like it here in the US.. I really am..

Hopefully I can drive out there and protest. But you know, why bother. It's pretty obvious that if 1,000+ dead soldiers and 100,000+ Iraqis won't change the countries mind... You really think protesting will?

When are people going to realize that nonviolent protest only goes so far toward instituting change?

It only goes as far as the people in power are prepared to listen to it.
