White Noise Insanity

I've been thinking a lot lately about the meaning of the word hero. Some time
ago, I lost interest in acquiring "stuff". I am entering that phase of life when
I am more interested in giving back to my fellow humans, and I have found a new
purpose in life. It's called passion.

I want a hero. I want a President
who defines the word, in actions and deeds. I want a President who is
compassionate, articulate, diplomatic, and dedicated to uphold, with the highest
regard, The Constitution of the United States. I want a President who cherishes
our Bill of Rights, and holds those truths to be self-evident.
I want a hero.

I don't want a presidential imposter who tortures, who denigrates
those who question him, who relishes spying on innocent Americans, who lies with
every spoken word,and who enriches his friends while impoverishing the rest of
us. I don't want a presidential imposter who lets a major city drown, who
refuses to listen to dissent, who corrals those of us who protest his crimes in
a "Free Speech" zone miles from where he is speaking to his carefully chosen
faithful. I don't want a presidential imposter who divides us, derides us, and
laughs at our belief in Democracy. I don't want a presidential imposter who
launches a war of aggression against a sovereign nation, then refuses to attend
the funeral of ONE of the thousands of soldiers killed in his failed war. I
don't want a presidential imposter who thinks the Constitution is just a
"goddamn piece of paper." I don't want a presidential imposter who smirks while
talking down to us, who gropes heads of state, who farts to startled young
staffers and then laughs about it. I don't want a presidential imposter who is a
dry drunk, an arrogant spoiled brat, a C student, and a former cheerleader who
loves to play war, with other people's loved ones. I don't want a presidential
imposter who shirked his duty in the military and who embraces those who
swiftboat anyone that dares question him about his dereliction of duty.

I want a hero. A real one. I want a President who can inspire and uplight our
bruised and battered souls. I want a President who can make me do more, care
more, and work harder to unite our fractured country.

I want a hero.
