Obama is not progressive. It seems he thinks FISA is a fine bill to pass. Because we should give Telecoms immunity because they chose to just hand over the information even though they should have used the court system to protect us. And the bill is going through, even worse, to give retroactive immunity to Bush and his cronies. It’s already passed the House, expected to go through the Senate. It’s disgusting.
I think I was too optimistic. I don’t think America will last much longer frankly as the world super power. This post actually has 5 good points. We can’t cooperate with each other, we’re dedicated to holding our own beliefs and not budging. Why? Probably because just like the Middle East we have hugely religious backing in most areas which leads to people believing something without knowing why they are or how to actually understand what they believe in. Whatever.
Also there are now rumors that Congress met in March to discuss the imminent collapse of our economy in late 2008. Right now I’m not going to vouch for the authenticity of the news article…but that’s scary. It was apparently a closed door meeting (which would be the 4th in our 200 year history) which discussed the possiblity of a civil war breaking out as a result.
Oh yeah, and in addition, the news source above discussed an advance round up of insurgent US citizens. Sounds like we’re headed towards a Police State.
Well, good luck. It’s not like anyone would rescue us anyways because we’ve stocked up on so many weapons. So basically we beefed up our defenses, but turns out we were only locking ourselves in. Haha. In a way I kind of like the irony of this possible situation.

PS- Bush has ruined our country. I want to send out a special thank you for those of you who voted for him. Twice.
Time to run off to Canada Paul?
Obama: McCain is worse.
