five years on thursday.
Current mood: pissed off
I don’t know how many out there realize that this Thursday is the fifth year anniversarry of the beginning of the current war we ares stuck on.
I don’t even want to call it a war. Sometimes we have to fight like we did in the Revolutions we’ve had, like we had to fight in the World Wars. We didn’t have a choice. I don’t like them, i hate war but they were Wars---fights for our lives and our freedoms. What has gone on in Iraq has been called many things. It’s been called a conflict, a police action, a quagmire---i call it the Great Clusterfuck.
I still don’t know how anyone could have supported going to war when we knew what it was about. Five years later and I still can’t wrap my head how any one could have listened to and agreed with those evil fuckers in the white house---especially the ones at the time. Rummy, DoubleYa, Darth Cheney---WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS FUCKING COUNTRY!?!? I know it wasn’t everyone, I remember it well. I remember going to the protests, I remember writing stuff on it back then. I remember writing pieces on how messed up our country was and how this war was a huge mistake because we had other things to focus on like the economy. The fact that the war was done in the name of the war on terror kills me. We know it was about a grudge, we know it was about oil, we know that everyone in that cabinet was looking for any reason to go to war with them...AND STILL PEOPLE GOT BEHIND IT. You ever want to know why I fight so hard against the neocons and republican administration---it all goes back to five years ago.
I’ve always had a rebellious streak when it comes to the government and authority. But I had never before had reason, I did it because it just felt like who I was supposed to be. Then one day, we elect the wrong fucking man. WE did it, WE elected him. AS A COUNTRY. WE WENT TO WAR. AS A COUNTRY. WE GOT BEHIND IT!! PEOPLE SPOKE FOR US THAT HAD NO RIGHT TO! PEOPLE TOOK THEIR VOICES AND PUT THEM IN OUR MOUTHS!! it makes me feel fucking sick.
Do ya know what that’s like? To have to be grouped with that? To be hated by the rest of the world for the choices of some asshole? Ask people who have gone abroad. I never have. I’ve had to do my part and try to prove to the rest of the world we aren’t all evil big eared flat headed funny laughin texas pricks. Every day I have to sell books to people. All kinds of people. Almost all of them find some hate for each other. There are liberals making fun of the conservatives. There are conservatives get mad at us because we don’t put certain books on display for them. There are independents who preach too damn much that if you aren’t part of the solution, you are part of the problem. There are centrists that want everyone to give them their money. Everyone wants money for their cause. EVERYONE WANTS TO BE RIGHT BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS WE HAVE A PROBLEM TO SOLVE!! A PROBLEM HE CAUSED!! Support this, Support that. Hate this, Hate that...all because of one stupid asshole with a fucking grudge and a need to make money.
He’s killed this country. That war murdered us. He did that. Our economy is fucking shot, our morale is fucking low, our education system is down the fucking drain. Private health care? He’s made it more expensive. He’s raised gas prices. Our currency is becoming a laughingstock. AND THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO SAY ITS ALL GOOD!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!? They have it good because they are part of that ever dwindling majority. I see it everyday. They’re smug about it because they aren;t hurting and i don’t know how any one in their right mind can ignore how they fucked things up. What soul can do that? (I’m looking right at you, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND YOU CAN’T EVEN SEE THIS!!) YOU KNOW HOW MANY THINGS HE HAS VETOED!?!? MORE THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE DIDN’T AGREE WITH IT EVEN IF IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!
The war on terror? Fine, fight it. BUT DON’T STEAL MY FREEDOM!! DON’T TAKE AWAY MY RIGHTS!! I’m paranoid as it is, he made it worse. He’s why i freak out when i fly. Everytime i fly, i feel violated because of the shit that I have to go through just to get on the plane. i understand the safety, i’m behind homeland security. But I’M NOT FOR FEAR MONGERING!! I’M NOT FOR WIRETAPPING!! I’M NOT FOR TURNING A BLINDEYE!!
It’s been five years of this. Five long years of "It can’t get any worse" finding a way to get fucking worse everyday. Five years of either going to die in a country in a war we shouldn’t be fighting or staying here and having no one listen to your voice. Five years of either giving up or giving in. Five years of banging our heads against a brick wall. Five years of swimming in bullshit, never being able to stay afloat, never being able to drown. We are constantly fighting a losing battle no matter the battlefield. All because 8 years the wrong man ended up in the white house. All because 5 years ago, he made the biggest fucking mistake one man has ever made.
I’m never going to agree with anyone who says he was right, who agreed with almost anything this administration did so don’t try to make me. This was part of me dealing with this. this is how i feel.
where were you five years ago? what were you thinking? And did you know that when you got here five years later---this is where we’d be? Tell me. I’m dealing with this how i know how.
