Let me first welcome you to this blog. While I realize there are others who use this name, the fact of the matter is there simply aren't enough Silence Dogood's. From time to time it may appear that I am channeling today's pundits however, I am not a shill using toxic language to sell books and make copious amounts of money. In any case, you are here because you understand the meaning of this name, and it has piqued your interest, so I won't keep you waiting.
My friends, what is wrong with us? Our politicians have us all bamboozled with apparent acts of selflessness. These men and women have us at each others throat and for what? If you were to take today's headlines 20 years in the past no one would believe that this is the United States of America. United, we haven't been united since 9/11.
You see, while the politicians pass controversial legislation that the majority of this country did not desire, we bicker and seethe with anger. We point at the "other side" and cry foul, making claims like socialist and hate monger. You must understand, this is what the politicians want. You see, under your noses while we argue and scrounge for reasons to blame each other, they will slide things in to law that will only divide us further. Immigration reform under the guise of amnesty, climate control legislation under the mask of Cap and Trade. You have been blinded by the show, and can't see what's happening behind the scenes.
If you're seeking to place blame, blame only yourself. I do. You see, I voted for this farce and am ashamed to have cast that vote. I did it because I felt it was the lesser of two evils. John McCain and Barack Obama while appearing to be different, really have few differences. Fortunately, my mistake, your mistake, our collective mistakes can be corrected. I am of the opinion that none of these fools presiding over this country truly have my best interest at heart. I care for neither the Republicans nor the Democrats and refuse to believe that these two pools of people are the only options we have to choose from. I also believe that they can all be removed peaceably, but if necessary, they should be removed forcibly.
We live in a time and a country that has been fractured. We gnaw and scratch at each other while they pour salt on the wound. We The People have the power to act. Whether you voted for a corrupt Republican or a corrupt Democrat, you can remove them. You are not powerless.
Affectionately yours,
Silence Dogood
