"(We) are the people you depend on- We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances, we guard you while you sleep - do not fuck with us."-Tyler Durden, Fight Club
I tweaked that quote a little, but it still gets the point across. I was reading a news article last night bout more stuff that is going on in congress. To me this is a pure shock, it is just mind boggling. The Republicans once again are stopping a bill that will help small businesses. For the average person who shops at say their local Wal-Mart, or grocery store, those are not small business. Small business makes up about 99% of the US economy, and that is no exaggeration. The conservatives rather re-up the Bush ear tax cuts. Who are those tax cuts for? The rich, and the affluent, not, you me or your best friend (unless you liver in Beverly Hills.) Then they also want to pump billions into securing the border. They want to put focus on places that will not help the economy, and the American people. I say, lets fix our economy, get small business hiring again, then get to border control.
What the Republicans have done is quite remarkable. They have used religion to brainwash the simple minded American white folk to believe that everyone that isn't from America is a problem and they need to be taken care of. It's not only that, we have all heard what sister Sarah has said about getting God more into our government. I think Homer Simpson said it best about that, "God, if you listehing, stay out of our way." This country was founded on the premise that religion would be separate from government, after all, that is why we left England in the first place. So are these knuckle head Republicans trying to bring us back to ye olde English ways, king and all?
I love how they say Obama is trying to do things to become a dictator, or take over the country. He has done more than most presidents have done in two terms in just a more than a year and a half in office. The best part about it all, he has done a lot of things thus far that Ronald Regan did back in the 80's. Wait a second... Ronald Regan, he is the Republicans god? Do I smell something wrong here. The list is long, Rachael Maddow documented it best:

Keep that in mind next time you go to vote Republican at the polls just in spite of Obama and the Democrats. When you think about it, Regan was the person many believe to be the one thet basically laid the foundation for what the GOP is today. Some will say it goes back even further to Richard Nixon.
My belief is that these Republicans want to take over again, and induce a state of totalitarianism all based around Christianity, and conservative religions. Someone made a chart as an example, serious or not, but showed what happened when religion was more so in power, and not the free mind. Simply stated, the Dark Ages. Everything was a mess then, ruled by a higher power we aren't even sure exists. It set us back technologically years, who knows we could have had flying cars by now, or holograms. They called the Renaissance that for a reason, it was a revitalization of human thought, and ingenuity. I really think, overwhelmingly, that this November if they gain any sort of power back, we are doomed.
I hope my hopes and fears meet at the middle somewhere. I don't want the Dems to really lose anymore seats, but rather gain maybe 5-6 (hope), and I don';t the republicans to somehow gain a majority (fear). If they get power, nothing will get done. This world is coming to an intersting apex, where it will take us after, I just have no clue.
