Republicans are the joke…but its America that’s the punchline.

**please note, this commentary is meant for people with a basic understanding of human rights, ethics, and equality. so, if you are a Tea Party Republican, this isnt for you**

at this point, watching the news makes me want to blow my brains out. im sitting here, staring…because i honestly cannot put into words how i feel. ive never felt this way before…i dont know how to approach it. lets see why i feel this way:

1) GOP Sen. Mccain and GOP Sen. Grahm(sp? who cares) blast Obama and the “FAILURE OF THE UNITED STATES” for not doing MORE in Libya. ok, first…who are the rebels? do we want to support? to early to tell what their intentions are. second…if we HAD gone in, theyd be up his ass because, three, WE HAVE BEEN BOOTS DOWN FOR OVER A DECADE in iraq and afghanistan.

2) Republicans want to zero tax hikes, none. just cuts. ohh, ps…just cuts for the rich. Thats  right. the payroll tax is coming up for renewal and since Obama wants it, the GOP do not. what does the payroll tax cuts do? they save the average family about $2,200 a year in taxes…that money goes in YOUR pocket!! the catch? it only taxes the first $106,000 you make. SO if you make $35,000 a year…or $35million…its just the first $106,000 you get hit on. so who gets hurt by this tax going back up? The poor, lower classes, and middle class. Thanx GOP

3) the tea party is pure crazy. Rick Perry wrote a book 9 months ago calling social security, medicare, Medicaid, minimum wage, labor laws, and government funded education (loans, grants, scholarships, etc) as UNCONSTITUTIONAL. but now that he’s been called on it, he claims that “it is not a path forward, only a look back and is not to be construed as his views today.” wow…lots changed in 9 months, eh rick?

Bonus: Rick Perry has gone on record twice about Texas succeeding from the union. Thats who i want for president!

4) Mitt Romny. I could be here all day. to name a few:

• demolishing ONE of his homes, a $12 million dollar, 3000sq. ft. beach-front house to build an 11,000sq. ft. one because it is “not adequate for his needs”
• believes “corporations are people”
• made his fortune consolidating companies and firing thousands of workers.
• there’s more…im just blinded by disbelief right now and cant think straight.

5) WHERE ARE THE FUCKING JOBS?

6) S&P cited the downgrade of America from AAA to AA+ due to “bi-partisan brinkmanship,” and the “Republican’s use of the full faith and credit of the United States as a bargaining chip.” Thanx again republicans.

stay tuned…it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better.

what if it happened to be you?

Tonights post is a lot more personal then most. I was at a friends house last night and was asked a seemingly simple question: “what are your life goals?”

Ive often tought i knew the answer to this question. now, to be clear, i do have many goals id like to accomplish. some include being a police officer, finding love and having a family, being happy, and being financially secure. but my life goal…thats entirely different.

But i knew the answer all along. it just took some reflection to realize it. the goal of my life, the meaning of my life, is to die while saving the life of another.

Its a price i would play gladly.

Nightmare Scenario. Will you be a Survivor or a Statistic?

As much as people dont want to admit it, i think deep down everyone is hoping for a nightmare scenario to break them from this never-ending loop of the mundane that we call life. The way i see it is there are 4 possible scenarios, each with there own subset of outcomes.

1)”Zombies”
I think that a quote unquote zombie attack is possible a la “28 Days Later,” “I Am Legend,” and “Resident Evil” where some virus is created and infects the living…thus zombiefying them. I think an actual attack of the undead coming back to life is unreasonable.

This would lead to a massive breakdown in governments worldwide as they would not be able to efficiently contain both the zombies and panicked citizens. This would result in scattered fortified outposts and well as pockets of survivors. Now its time to suit and go on a killing spree until you can find the military.

2)Aliens
“Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying” -Arthur C. Clarke.

Assuming we arent, and they come, and they are angry…it could play out like “Independence Day” or “The Day the Earth Stood Still.” Either way, major cities would be destroyed leaving (again) scattered military units and scattered pockets of survivors. However this time, its about hiding and evading instead of killing.

3)We are all in the Matrix.
simply put…id think it’d be fun if this was true. ive always wanted to stop bullets…and not with my body

4)Nuclear War
Probably the most likely scenario. In this event, major cities would be wiped off the map, countries would vanish, millions would be killed instantly, and millions more would die from the fallout. This would lead to a life not unlike “Fallout 3.” I wouldnt mind that at all. Military resistance, attempts at new world orders, and pockets of survivors as well as pockets of bandits. makes for a fun time had by all.

BONUS! something else that cant be qualified above, such as “Children of Men” where women can no longer get pregnant or “Terminator” where the future continues to send back people and alter everything.

**We must also acknowledge the possibility of being hit by a celestial body or by the ravaging effects of accelerated global warming. in both scenarios, the entire world is affected and i dont believe much would change in the way of ordered governmental structure. i could be wrong.**

All i know is when the shit hits the fan, im going to be locked, cocked, and ready to go. the sooner the better.
