What?

The best quote I've seen lately is from Dennis Kucinich (speaking about George Bush): "Either there's something wrong with him, or there's something wrong with us." He was questioning Bush's mental health, & although I've seen similar things on the Huffington Post by actual mental health professionals, it's the first time a presidential candidate (albeit a doomed one) has commented on it. I think there really is "something wrong with us," to have let this nightmare administration go on for seven long years. When exactly will we have had enough? I thought it was enough last year when the Democrats gained control of the House & almost the Senate, but apparently I was wrong, given the way they've caved in on so much since then.

Does no one remember the lessons of Vietnam & Watergate, or have these become just words? Have we become as ignorant of history as Bush himself is, or do we just not give a shit anymore? You'd think that, despite everything else people apparently are not outraged enough about, struggling to pay the mortgage & buy groceries would be at least somewhat important to ordinary people. Is it really too hard to make an effort? Are we just too beaten down & numbed by all of the unbelieveable assaults that we've endured over the last few years? I just don't understand why more people aren't angry & ready to revolt, or at least to do something to punish these sons of bitches who have turned our country into either a laughingstock or a hated enemy (depending upon which part of the world we're talking about). These are the same people who had the gall to impeach Clinton over a blow job, & these hypocritical scumbags have done everything possible to show us that they not only don't give a crap about anyone but themselves & their cronies, but actually have a deep contempt for the American people they're supposed to be serving. If things were up to me (& everything really should be), I would have impeached Bush & Cheney years ago.

I really haven't done a laundry list of all the stuff we should be outraged about; it would just take too long. And I do know that there are a lot of people who feel the way I do, & a lot of them also express it. But it's just so frustrating for me to see more & more of this shit keep happening, like we're too stupid to know &/or remember what's gone before. But that's just me. Or is it?
