Enough Already!!!!!!

Dear People Who Are Shouting That Obama is a Socialist/Communist/Nazi/Satan Incarnate:

Shut the fuck up.

Seriously. Enough. Stop acting like drunk, pill-addicted, bitter housewives (hello, Rush Limbaugh), and Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

Look, I’m not happy about being taxed either. Last year, I paid 25% taxes. 25% while making less than $30 K, and I didn’t even have to pay State Income taxes, thank god. I’m not happy about being stuck with the bailout bill either.

But I’m also not happy that for 8 years, our government ignored a growing problem on Wall Street. I’m not happy that for the last 20 years, the people of Main Street thought they could get whatever they wanted whenever they wanted despite what their bank balance showed. I’m not happy that we launched 2 wars that are still going on with no end in sight. I’m not happy that we’ve squandered the goodwill we earned after WWII with the dumbass, military funded failures such as Vietnam and the current Iraq War. I’m not happy that the generation who inherited the financial boom of the 1940’s spent all the money on drugs and rock’n’roll, then sold rock’n’roll to Pepsi commercials so that my generation gets watered down shit like Creed, then bought their way into Congress to roll back every law so that they can benefit from a Ponzi scheme that left the entire country bankrupt.

I’m not happy about any of these things, folks.

But calling for Obama’s assassination, and that’s what you’re really doing by calling him names like “Hitler” and “AntiChrist,” isn’t going to change the fact that a lot of people will lose their jobs, their homes, and their livelihoods, that our healthcare system and our interstate system are on the verge of collapse, and that Creed is going to get back together and try to make a comeback.

Times are shit. But before we start blaming everything wrong on our “socialist,” “communist” President (and by the way, those are 2 very different political ideas, please pick one and stick with it), have we forgotten how bad the other ticket was? Do we remember that McCain was just more of the same shit we had for 8 years? Did we forget the bat-shit crazy train wreck that was SARAH PALIN. A woman who made Charles Manson look sane.

You have to live with what you got, folks, and this is the best our government system can do. It’s flawed, it’s imperfect, it’s been royally fucked by greedy, selfish, short sighted businessmen and voter contingencies (who vote based upon 3 things: God, Guns, and Gays), but calling for anarchy will only fuck us more.

So like I said.

Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
