Terror

Last night's sleep consisted of a terrorizing dream. I was running from and hiding from a bladder-cringing terrorist organization. It was one of those persistent dreams that continue even after you've awoken and told yourself, my dear self, it's just a dream. For this, I blame the

REPUBLICAN party. When I hear your taunting lies about the Liberal's inexperience in protecting our country, I think of the thousands of American soldiers who've died for the purpose of YOUR exorbitant war, and the many more thousands who've come home crazed by dishonor and pointlessness. Is not providing these soldiers adequate mental services what you call protection? I think of

GEORGE who got us into a war that only the superficial intelligence believe serves a purpose, because they are making top profits off of a battle that sucks resources from the GOVERNMENT you want to downsize.

Downsize your plastic reputation and say something more than an ad slogan. Say something meaty with guts and blood-veins that the American people can open their senses to instead of forcing us to close them. Don't elect a robotic war-vet with so many homes he can't count them, and a mother of five who likens herself to a pit-bull (what a caring motherly quality, especially for the baby with special needs) NOT because of their questionable characters

BUT because all they do as nominees of the Grand 'Ol Pooparty is inject more unsubstantiated fear into the blinded or careless or hording or selfish people who believe our president shouldn't aim towards

PEACE. Our president shouldn't lessen taxes for the 95% of Americans who serve our country at grass-roots levels and deserve a break. Our president shouldn't address the myriad terrors that cut into the lives of Americans on United States soil everyday. Our president should be a BIG MAN who believes he's the patriarch our country needs to fight off the boogiemen with dark skin and Islamic beliefs because if we don't, oh gee Daddy, oh Daddy, I'm scared of them big, bad Daddy.

You know what I'm scared of? Going into my first year of teaching with more of the same opportunistic, manipulative, conniving, condescending politics that have ruled our country for the past eight years. I'm terrified for the children to come through adolescence with an understanding that our government doesn't care about the fact that companies are allowed to poison people for a profit, or Mommy doesn't get help because she can't afford it, or advertising agencies are allowed to sell us stuff that's really quite bad for us, or our president doesn't know the least bit about us because he's too busy making sure his investments and his big-time Daddy friends come first. They ARE like

PIT BULLS, children of tomorrow. And unless your ready to stand on your own, hope you realize how instinctual and thoughtless of an attack a dog knows how to make.
