Happy Friday Kossacks!
This is my first diary as I am fairly new to the blogging community but thanks to Bill O (thanks again Bill)I decided to really take a close look at Daily Kos and see what all the fuss was about. Well this site deserves a lot of fuss, just not for the "reasons" (?) Bill O puts forth. Finding this site and reading the thoughtful, literate, and inciteful diaries has really opened my eyes to what our democracy is all about or at least what it should be all about. Bill O looks at this site and comes away with, huh?.....Nazis???? Come on, I can't believe anyone takes this guy seriously. And I guess that's the real problem. Many people do take this guy and his hateful, illogical and absurd rhetoric seriously.
What happened to thinking for oneself? I, seriously, am very disturbed at the thought that his audience (american citizens like you and me) takes what this buffoon says as gospel. They regurgitae this crap amongst themselves and more likely than not pat themselves on the back for being so open minded because, after all Fox News is "fair and balanced" No spin...GAG!! Okay so much for O'Reilly.
I have been reading the diaries on this site, as well as other blogging sites for a couple of weeks now and all I can say is WHAT A RELIEF! I don't agree with all that is written (again because I can still think for myself) but to realize that there are so many, many other ordinary folks like myself out there who are absolutely OUTRAGED at this President and his complete and utter disregard for the best interests of this country and its citizens not to mention that little thing called the CONSTITUTION is, well...comforting to say the least. I just can't understand why more people, MSM included, aren't screaming at the top of thier lungs to impeach this clown.
I can't kick Bush and Cheney out of office by myself but I can add my voice to the call, I can write my elected officials and urge them to do the same (which I have done). I am not helpless and, obviously, am not alone. I don't consider myself "political" but jeez...enough is enough. The incessant FEAR mongering on the part of this administration, the illegal war with its thousands of dead Americans and Iraqis and no end in sight, the erosion of our civil liberties, the highest law enforcement official in the land is a LIAR whom I am supposed to "trust" to do the right thing, Valerie Plame, Scooter Libby, Pat Tillman...do I need to go on? Why is this man still President???
I realize that I may come across as a bit naive or possibly (gasp) idealistic. I don't have all the answers but I certainly know who doesn't even comprehend the QUESTIONS!
