Here we go again with the military crossing over into the domestic realm where in theory they are prohibited from having this direct involvement.

This is a theme adopted during the Bush presidency that has remained unchallenged and I can't for the life of me understand for one minute how such a conflict can arise and be allowed to flourish. This confirms the complete breakdown of our fundamental freedoms. Once upon a time it was inconceiveable to even suggest the U.S. military be a major participant in domestic security. Where the lead role in this is being handed more and more to the military I am quite certain it has everything to do with the completely wrongheaded influence of the defense industry. This is purely money vs our constitution and money is winning hands down. Which, by any measure, is the core element of so much of what is wrong with this country. It just cannot be emphasized enough or understated how screwed up this is.

I was going to tell Obama how I really feel but instead I wrote this.

You haven't really fixed a thing in the banking and finance industry.

Gas prices keep rising even though demand is way down.

Single payer health care is looking like a loser.

You said you would fix this kind of crap. Looks like you are a liar just like every other politician. And just like all the rest you are giving Americans a screwing. Big business is shafting us at every turn just like always and you are sitting there with your thumb up your ass.

The asshole before you told congress what legislation he would and wouldn't accept. And when congress didn't deliver he just made a stupid signing statement. And now you just cave to lobbyists and don't even make an effort to hold congresses and big business feet to the fire.

Fuck You Mr President. I didn't vote for Bush and I hated what he did to this country but right or wrong at least he had some balls.

Being a vet this one naturally caught my eye.

When I read that the taxpayer had gotten whacked $30 million for a new dining hall I knew immediately something was wrong. There is just no way a dining hall costs $30 million. Even in a war zone the price is probably inflated by four or five times anything associated with the real cost plus a hefty profit.

Between the way Wall Street, in association with our idiot government, has ripped us off and the way the Bush administration has stolen us blind it's a sure bet that if all the crap that has gone on were truly known the immensity of the criminal activity would have a lot of people in jail for the rest of their natural lives.

I'm afraid the corruption in our government is beyond redemption or repair. The ethical breakdown exists in every nook and cranny of government of all three branches. Our government just does not serve the people of this country in any way shape or form. Not in this administration and not in the prior administration.

I've said it before and I say again. There is an undeniable need for a complete isolation between business and government. The idea that a corporation is the same as a citizen has got to be challenged and undone. Each of these things are based on whopper lies and are central to the repeated harm visited upon our country. The Bush administration, with the groundwork having been laid well before, flung the door wide open for this and so far Obama has done little to close it with sparse indication it will be. You can be 100% sure that the bad things that have occurred of late will continue. The American people are in the crosshairs of not just foreign terror groups but groups right here at home who have a far greater opportunity to harm us.
