I'm disappointded...

It seems the Democratic Party has no soul. We have no justice and peace. We have no free speech. We do not have a Democracy. We have been conquered by Capitalism. Much like Communism, Capitalism is a force that swallows freedom, exploits people, and ravages the earth. It has allies in Fundamentalism, that is they both do not tolerate any group or creed other than their own. Add to that Zionism. We spend too much money insuring that Israel has the tools to treat others as the Jews were once treated by the Nazis. The more of what I see in this world, the more I agree that we are in end times. I also hope that when judgment day arrives, that the 'sheeple' who follow Capitalism, Consumerism, Fundamentalism and Zionism face their maker. A friend who is a Baha'i told me recently that in their teachings it has been foretold that there will be a day when Islam stalks the Earth like a corpse. This time is now, and the corpse is terrorism. This post will probably draw criticism from those who follow one of these false beliefs, so be it. I'm going to start actively looking for a place to move to that will offer me political asylum.

Politics..immigrants..and freedom of speech.

Has the country gone crazy?

Today in the coffee room, one of our Egyptian/American/Christian co-workers could not help but make a derogatory comment about the Democratic Convention and some of the speakers. It seems that this person thinks that George Bush is God's gift to the world. I wonder if these people remember the principles they studied when they looked at our Constitution? Did they learn that we have separation of church and state? Did they learn about the First Amendment? Did they learn about tolerance? Do they believe that lying is an acceptable behavior? What do they base their moral character on? Is it because they were Christian in a Muslim world?

I remember a little over a year ago when there was a big incident in Little Saigon, when a video store owner was driven out for displaying a portrait of Ho Chi Minh. The Vietnamese community felt this was not to be allowed, forgetting that we have freedom of speech in this country. They returned to their past, with revenge in their hearts. They were suddenly back in the home country, fighting an enemy that was now the government in Vietnam.

These are people who will vote for George Bush, as they see his actions as right and proper. They do not believe in dissent. They bring with them the values of their home country, some good, some bad. I have been told that we have too much freedom, I disagreed.
