Mixed Messages on our Birthday

Mixed Messages on our Birthday

Woke up on the fourth of July our nation birthday feeling good about being an American and being a viable part of it's history since I am a combat veteran and served actively 24 years  meritoriously to defend it's freedom. Then when reading the morning paper I find out that President Bush felt it was his responsibility to attend the opening of the Olympics ceremonies in China a nation whose violations of human rights is second to none. There is an old saying that he stands for nothing will fall for anything. Yet he's always talking about freedom and democracy.

Then we learn about Robert Mugabe blatant disregard for democracy  by murdering and seriously injuring people who would not vote for him. Over two hundred people had to seek shelter in the South African and Dutch embassy to avoid being killed and he shamelessly declared himself  the victor and freedom loving countries stood by and paid only lip service. How's that for freedom and democracy.

Now we find out that with all the out pouring of new voters registering as democrats that even if Senator Obama wins the popular vote by millions, that he could still loose the presidential election  due to the electoral college vote if he fail to win the less populated states like Idaho,Montana, Wyoming, North and South Dakota where one popular vote out weighs 24 popular votes in states like California and New york. Whats up with that crap.
