I don’t watch the news. Do you know why I don’t watch the new?
Because I would be like most of the people who do watch the news: I
would miss the big picture. You’ve heard the old saying: “You can’t see the
forest for the trees” right? Well, that’s the problem with everyone who is
caught up in the news and everyone who is caught-up with the goings on
in Washington: They are so focused on petty, bullshit issues they don’t
realize that the very destruction of this nation itself is at stake. I catch
enough news from the radio, a newspaper, or a magazine so that I can get
the big picture; and the big picture is all I need to know.
Most Americans have a perilously perverted political perception, which
is (potentially) fatal. I say “potentially” because I believe it’s still possible
for the American people to regain control of their government, but I also
believe we have very little time left in order to do so. We don’t have until
the next election. I liken the current situation in the Middle East to our
playing with matches in a barn full of hay: it could go up in flames any
minute.
Snakes aren’t liars, nor are they evil; and it’s not their fault that they
slither in order to get around. But those politicians up there in Washington
are liars, and they are evil. How else would you describe them? The worst
lie they tell is that America is at war with terrorism. But are we?
Terrorism, by its very nature, is a phenomenon that is impossible to make
war against. Terrorism is a violent and symbolic tactic, which is used by
individuals and small cell-groups of individuals, in order to cause chaos
and disorder within a powerful governmental order that cannot be
defeated by means of conventional warfare. So how the hell does a nation
wage a war against individuals? It can’t, and we aren’t: we are waging war
against nations (e.g., Iraq, Afghanistan, and (perhaps even) Iran).
NOTHING!
Why?! Are we just going to let them kill us?! Are we really that
apathetic?! Do we actually care more about our reality television shows (or
whatever) than we do the safety of our own families and our friends?!
If you and your family were in the back seat of a car that was being
driven by a drunken driver, wouldn’t you throw that bastard out and take
control of the vehicle yourself; before he killed everyone? But I do
understand why we’re not doing anything to stop him, it’s because we
know that he will be stopping, soon, and we’re hoping that a more sober
driver will take the wheel. We think the next election will give us better
politicians; but what we fail to realize is that, while the drunken driver
behind the wheel does plan on stopping, soon, he’s only stopping for one
reason: to buy more liquor.
Do you see the analogy here? The next election in America will change
NOTHING.
So I’ll ask you, again: What would you do if you, your family, and your
friends were in the back seat of a car that was being driven by a drunken
driver; knowing that when he stops he’s only stopping to buy more liquor?
What would you do? Just sit there, doing nothing? Or would you punch
him in the mouth, throw him out of the car, and take the control of the
vehicle yourself? I would hope that you would punch him in the mouth,
throw him out, and drive the car yourself. Since your life and the lives of
your family and your friends are at stake, I would hope that you would do
the right thing.
It’s high time the American people wake up and begin standing up for
themselves and for their families. And it’s high time the American people
stand up for what is right. The American people need to march on
Washington and demand that our government cease from doing evil and
begin doing what is good, soon; before it’s too late.
