GIVE ME LIBERTY!!!!

I was going to post some hateful replies from the Huff Post about Sarah Palin today. However I just can not stomach it as the state run media has to much junk about her all over the place today.

Instead I just want to say I am sick of the Dems beating the woman up. Yet I am even more sick and tired of the Repubs not sticking up for her. Lets face it that both parties are way out of touch and at this point I feel they no longer have this countries best interest in mind. Dems are spending like crazy and Repubs are just as bad. It is all about how can I get re-elected, who can give me the most campaign money and that is who I will be beholden too not my constituents. Heck who would not want to be part of congress I mean look; you get good pay with great benefits, you can spend other peoples money on unneeded projects and have the peeps love you for it right. Plus they can cash personal checks at the Congressional bank for money they do not have and it is OK. Yes the average person can not do this with out getting arrested or fined but I forget the politicians are above us or that is what they thinking anyway. Politicians do not fear us as we let them get away with crimes everyday. Look at Bernie, the guy gets hundreds of years for his crimes yet we hold none of our politicians to the same standard, they take us for fools. We have let them get to this point and it is so very disappointing. Our children's future is stuck in the mud of debt. We have allowed this because we have put trust in those who use fear and those who instilled the sense of We are deserve the best and we deserve it now entitlement mentality to run this country.

Here are some great quotes and some dumb ones that may remind you what this country is all about and what we need to get back to.
