Free Democracy FAIL:

I voted for it… I helped campaign for it… i waited for it… and i’m still waiting for it. WTF.
The Homeland Security Agency is unconstitutional anyway because it is a merger of civilian law enforcement with the military – which is the formula for a dictatorship! That is something which is never done in a republic!
Apparently these worries of draconian agencies weren’t turned on for the past seven years under the decades royal failure in chief, W. Now it’s ‘gubment gonna getcha you betcha’ pills being passed around without any regard for a civilized society but fear. Suggesting the “bullet box” is one thing and passing out fear for her own popularity and personal gain is quite a few things more. No this wasn’t Sara Palin. This time the award for pure tackiness goes to Catherine Crabill.
I pretty much ignore the Palin circus but seeing as how this is a piece of political news and a governor of a state just resigned, it makes sense to reign in the sunshine. Rumors are abound that she is now about to be federally charged for some shady dealings on the construction of her house just months before she started her race for governor. The resignation letter on her web site is pure gold.
Letterman-Palin fued was fake
Now we know what the “Letterman” incident was about a few weeks back. All I could think was “why now? Why make up this attack on her family that Letterman never did and play it so hard into the media? It was all about playing herself as the victim and continually build the charade that everyone is after the Palin family. We now know it was in anticipation of this resignation over an impending investigation.
Meanwhile in other news: a coup in Honduras, Rush Limbaugh wishes it would happen here, and Iranians are still proving themselves to have bigger balls when it comes to public protest than we currently do.
That is what i saw in the final night of the Democratic Convention at Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colorado. The resonance of 75,000+ people in Mile High Stadium looked so surreal. What a beautiful vision for tomorrow. The Republican welcome mat was pure genius especially when we got to the Republican “testimonials” section before the Obama crescendo. “We need a President that looks out for Barney Smith not Smith-Barney” brought the crowd to a roar. Barney Smith, you are my hero. And the courageous woman that preceded Barney with her wrenching story of losing health care and her hold of the “American Dream” after consistently voting for and believing in the Republican promise. The solidarity we’re seeing unfold is one we need to rejoice, embrace, and then quickly build upon. Let’s get to work.
