4th of July, Patriotism, and Voting.

As I watched the fireworks on the 4th of July this year, I didn't feel patriotic. With Bush openly hating the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Americans, waging a needless war and not making domestic issues a priority, I have grave reservations about the future of our country. America is not the only country in the world. We have a responsibility to take care of the earth, our people and democracy in our own country. We need to fix our voting machines and so there is absolute certainty that all our votes count and that the rich can't fix votes.

We should be ashamed of the inconsistencies in the last two Presidential elections and fix our own internal voting issues before focusing on other countries and their democracy issues. If we can't even get it right here then how can we help someone over there?

The Bush Legacy

Junk science, the hate of others and the wasting of trillions of our tax dollars on the Industrialized Military Complex, these are some of his horrible legacies. One of Bush's worst wack-o policies is the progress that he's making to break down the wall between Church and State. The separation of Church and State is one of the ideals which truly makes America a great country. There is lots of world history that shows that religious intolerance is the cause of wars, bloodshed and the repression of people. Bush is threatening the very fabric of our U.S. Constitution by encouraging the merging of Church and State. And it is a fact that the U.S was not founded on Christian principles. If you don't know this, you'll need to re-read your history books. Back to how Bush is trying to merge Church and State, please see www.whitehouse.gov. See the left hand links and scroll down to see a religious link there. If you are not outraged, it's time to be outraged at that Bush has publicly declared that he disagrees with the Founder Fathers of the United States of America concerning the separation of Church and State. Did I mention this link is called, "Faith-Based and Community Initiatives" which allows the U.S. Government to give money to churches.
