"Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy." Sun Tzu
It’s funny that the thing that catches the headlines today about the democrats is that we are all disillusioned, hopeless and losing this battle for the senate. I tend to disagree. Am I a little disillusioned with the Obama Administration? I am to a degree, but it does not have anything to do with what you would think it would.
My issue revolves around a few key points:
1. There are still people in prisons in other countries that are run by the military.
2. There is still such a thing as the Patriot Act.
3. Net Neutrality has not been focused on.
4. Mercs still serving in the Middle East.
The rest of my issues lie firmly in the hands of the Congress. Gay marriage, don’t ask don’t tell, the bush tax cuts, healthcare for 9/11 workers, better health care provisions and all those other promises are things I blame on Congress. Why? Because the strategy of the Democrats has been let’s ask for what we want and see what we get…while the Republicans have straight up said no to everything the administration has said they want to do.
Am I a bit frustrated with the Obama Administration for not playing intelligent politics? Yes I am. I’m very frustrated with it and yet I don’t give up hope. I don’t give up hope because the administration still advocates for a lot of my beliefs. They speak for me more than the Tea Party does…more than the republicans do as a whole. I won’t give up hope because in the end hope is all we have. Without hope, how can we believe things will get better? Even if we are wrong and our hope is false…what else do we have in days where people can’t even find jobs?
I stand by hope because in this system that’s all we have. And I hope that others will stand by that as well. Because if we give up hope they will take over. And I swear if my significant other was raped and became pregnant…tea party or not…I will not force her to take it to term.
