How Can We, When We?

The death of Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor bring to light, once again, the senselessness of violence in America. It also highlights our overall lack of concern for one another in this, the world's greatest, and sole remaining superpower.

Sean Taylor's home was broken into only a week prior to his being shot. Need I say that the person who shot him also broke into his home, and there is speculation that the shooter may have been involved in the first break in?

So here we sit, like a bunch of pompous, self righteous blow hearts shaking our finger at the rest of the world, while internally we do the very same thing that we are telling the rest of the world not to do. Our president sends our soldiers to die so that people in Iraq do not have to worry about getting shot at, while American citizens are getting shot and killed every single day.

To say that our priorities are out of whack is a true understatement. Where are the police patrols in the neighborhoods? Oh, silly me, I forgot. We must have money to fund such patrols, and at this point, most civic budgets are pushed to the very edges of the envelopes.

So here we are, America the self righteous; "No, no, no! You should not shoot your country man, it does not make a difference that he is a Kurd, and you are a Sunni." Yet we are here, in America shooting people just because guns flow like water. Thank you NRA, now go lobby for Gatling Guns.

Yes America, I am upset. Sean Taylor should be gearing up to play to the cheers of his family and fans, not laying in state to the tears of hi s family and friends. And the same is true to anyone who has fallen in this country to random, or perhaps intentional gun violence.

It is just so amazing to me that we can not control the violence here in America, but we can go overseas and impose our will on others. Quick, show of hands; how many of you idiots voted Republican during the last election cycle? Oh, look at that, afraid to put that hand up. Well, I wanted to say thank you for being one of the many people who handed America over to murderers, rapists and thieves. I also would like to thank you for proving that a little more than 50% of America is so easily lead by an idiot.

As for the portion of America who voted intelligently, this is our now. Time to hand the GOP a pink slip and get those radical retards out of office. America has been dumbed down enough over the course of the last 8 years. If you do not like any of the Democratic candidates, then write in someone who is going to do the right thing. Regardless, we need to get those gun loving, racially biased, war munging, double talking, KKK supporting Republicans out of office. We need to take back our America.
