The events of the past week have finally put me over the edge. As I'm writing this I'm so mad I hope I don't break my computer keyboard! I am so fed up with my country and its lame excuse for a government that I'm ready to renounce my American citizenship and burn my passport!

The hypocrisy and immorality of this administration is so monumental it's unbelievable. Our fearless leader likes to call himself a Christian. Would a true Christian value the potential lives of frozen embryos more than the actual lives of living, breathing people suffering from actual diseases? Would a true Christian care more about killing an embryo than about the killing of thousands of American soldiers and innocent civilians in a bogus war? On the same day our Commander-in-Thief vetoes stem-cell research, the figures for civilian casualties in Iraq were announced at an all-time high for a one-month period. I cannot stand this hypocrisy any longer! I don't consider myself a Christian. (I've pretty much lost all faith in everything for that matter. ) But for our president to call himself a Christian is an insult to Christians everywhere. He is incompetent,ignorant, arrogant, insensitive, immoral, inarticulate, dishonest, hypocritical and a pathetic excuse for a human being. His presidency makes me ashamed to be an American!

As for the growing crisis in the Middle East, with Iraq in a bloody civil war, and Israel and Lebanon at war, all we're seeing is the result of this administration's lame, incompetent foreign policy. Instead of calling for an immediate cease-fire these people just let the bombing and killing continue on both sides. Not only that, they're sending more bombs rush delivery to Israel.(Of course, I'm sure that Iran is also immediately sending more weapons to Lebanon.) I am really worried about this. Doesn't the Muslim world hate us enough as it is?

All we're doing is making yet another Muslim country pissed at us and creating a whole new generation of jihadists and suicide bombers. It probably won't be too long before we see suicide bombers on our streets and subways because of all of this. With the possibility of World War III looming on the horizon the village idiot is in charge of the "free" world! Shouldn't that make us all feel better? I've been ranting about the president here, but don't think I'm letting Congress off the hook. Look at all the problems we're facing: Iraq in a civil war, Israel & Lebanon at war, high gas prices, the economy going down the tubes, immigration, border security, etc. etc.etc. A few days ago, I tuned into C-Span and with all these monumental problems facing our country, what was the House debating? Gay marriage!! Hey, if gay couples want to get married and be miserable like straight couples,who cares? Then again, at the same time the Senate was passing the stem-cell research bill. Of course, that ended up being a total waste of time!The stem-cell research veto actually affects me personally. I have diabetes and a family history of Alzheimer's. But why should the leader of the free world give a rat's ass about my health? (Actually, the diabetes is under control for now, and the way things are going in the world, I'll probably end up being a casualty of WWIII long before the Alzheimer's kicks in!)

The other day I was channel surfing and I happened to catch the scene in "Network News" where an anchorman has a total meltdown on the air and tells everyone to go to their window, open it, and scream "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!" What a great scene; to see an entire city venting their frustration at the world! I would love to do this, but if I were standing on my balcony yelling all by my damn self, I'd just get carried off to the loony bin. (I'm sure there are some people who think I should be in there already!) I know that there are millions of people out there who share my feelings and I'm probably just preaching to the choir here and not really saying anything new, but I just had to get some things off my chest.
