Carpe Diem

    I have been avoiding the blog because I was beginning to sound like a old man that rants about the end of the world and I realized that even if it were true, most people wouldn't give a damn as long as it didn't interfere with their day-to-day lives.
    I was pretty convinced that people actually cared about the basics, like right from wrong, justice from injustice and truth from a lie. I learned yesterday that most Americans could really care less about what is actually happening in the United States as long as it does not directly affect them.
    Beyond a shadow of a doubt we know: The White House lied about Fast and Furious. Beyond a shadow of a doubt we know Obama lied about Benghazi. Beyond a shadow of a doubt we know Eric Holder lied to Congress. Beyond a shadow of a doubt we know the White House was aware of Libor fixing and the illegal activities of the US Banks before a bailout was given.
    Knowing all that, the majority of the people in the United States given the opportunity to remove this administration from office, chose to allow this administration to remain in office four more years.
    I would be lying if I said I was not disappointed but I would also be lying if I said this was a surprise. I expected the majority of the US citizens to look the other way and ignore the wrongs that are going on everyday.
    I can only say congratz to President Obama. I do not support your policies nor do I support you, but I support the decision of my fellow Americans to allow you to continue to govern as they have come to enjoy.
    My opinion has not changed. I know you are a liar. I know you are responsible for the murder of Brian Terry, and I have no doubt you were aware of the security problems in Benghazi.
    Personally I think the Republican party deserved the loss. As I said before the election we are being offered two bowls of Crap. It is really up to us to decide which one stinks less. Having already smelled Obama's crap for four years, I would have preferred to move on to a new bowl of crap. However, that was not the outcome of last nights election.
    What did happen, was the Republicans in the arrogance of their White Superiority mentality believed that they could shun the minorities in this nation and still win. What really happened was the people chose the lesser of the two evils offered as they perceived it.
    Regardless of what happens during the next four years, I know this, Rogersville voted for the sale of alcohol. Since I can't seem to beat'em  or make a difference, I plan to join them. I am going to have a few drinks, delete the News Pages from my Homepages and stop worrying about the future of the US.
    I will encourage the youth around me to avoid the military, church and of course the lousy school systems. I will turn a deaf ear to them when I hear a lie. I will laugh when they cheat their way through a life situation or pull the wool over their parents eyes.
    It is apparent none of this matters anymore. Morals are a joke to this new generation of movers and shakers. I will just live day to day and enjoy life more in their example. As long as I am fat and happy at the end of the day that is all that matters. The future of this nation is not our problem.
    My new philosophy in life is Carpe Diem. (For the less informed that means Seize the Day)
