Politics
I claim to be a Republican for.... a couple key points. Abortion being number one.
However..... if that one issue..... yes, one issue..... didn't exist.... I would be a democrat. How weird is that?
Another test I took said that I was more democratic than republican and basically a totalitarian. Lol.... and like..... in the past two years, so many of my stances have changed. Plus, today in American Government I realized that Haliburton.... basically owns most of the companies working with them that the gov has hired militia for Iraq from...... Haliburton being umm........ the company Cheney worked for..... which mainly deals with oil.
Till then, I was for the Iraq war.
I know fully well that all government is corrupt in some way. I simply had hope that the government wasn't this corrupt. So I pushed all the other evidence of this being an unrighteous war out of my head... till I couldn't anymore.
I do like Bush. Don't get me wrong. I just... I hoped for so much more than this. And... completely disappointed in him. He's not an evil guy like so many say... he was just corrupted by the thing that corrupts all in the long run... power. Power is inherently corrupting. With one exception. The high up leadership in my church. If an individual begins to get corrupted, they are simply given a different calling and released from the last.
Plus, the poor are even more screwed over than I had previously realized. All the government is.... is a puppet that powerful companies control. It's not democracy. But then, I never believed that our system was truly democratic in the first place. A true democracy would never work in this world for one reason alone... most of the people are stupid. Most people decide their oppinion before hearing any of the facts. And... that's all for tonight on this subject.
