Quite frankly, I don’t think they are dramatically worse. I think they’ve been terrible.

Now before you scream at me, I am not saying there are not some really bad things that occurred under ODimwit (gay “marriage” etc comes to the top of that list). But as a practical matter, the economy has favored the few for a long time. Despite some “the sky is falling” screaming (taking our guns comes to mind) nothing has changed.

We are inundated with ODimwit scandals and conspiracy theories (yes. Some are real and bad) but they’ve been there with POTUS’ prior to him.

War? Been there done that. Middle East falling apart? Been there done that. Deficit? Ask Mr. “Decifits Don’t Matter Cheney”. He’ll tell ya “been there done that”.

Odimwit care? Meh. The GOP isn’t going to do anything about it and didn’t really. Health care availability has always been sketchy in America. That didn’t really change that much. The IRS involvement? Nixon made sicking the IRS on enemies a “thing”.

Quite frankly, but for a handful of social issues, there really isn’t much change under the Dips**t. The biggest problem for me is he’s just another (regardless of Party) just stands in the way of returning America to greatness.

Each side of the equation gets fed the same “the other side is Satan” meme. Again, not saying some aren’t, but I see it as no coincidence that Lib and Con pundits say, essentially, the same thing about the other side.

And then there is our “Conservative” SCOTUS backing Police State actions in their 4th Amendment decisions. Then along comes Citizens United and Hobby Lobby that are packaged as Conservative victories with Hobby Lobby being sold as a victory for Religious Freedom. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Citizens United sold our Republic to billionaires on both “sides”. Their supposed political beliefs are merely a construct to keep us in line until we can truly do nothing. Hobby Lobby? I’ve said it before and I will say it again .. I GUARANTEE that it will be used against we Christians when it becomes convenient to do so.

Remember under Bush how we were so excited that we, the Religious Right (for lack of a better term) were so excited that we would be heard? We weren’t. We weren’ herd on much and Bush went on a spending budget busting spree that would even make a LibTard blush.

So here we are with them hoping we’ll be myopic. Don’t give that to them.

In short, as I have said over and over again, the problem isn’t Government. The problem is that we don’t have a Conservative Government. Privatization is just handing the oligarchs what they have prayed for from the beginning.

Now I don’t agree that voting doesn’t matter. I do agree that falling in line and voting as told doesn’t matter. We better make our voices hear by selectively voting to show the GOPe we have a plan and know what is up ... before it is too late.
