Lately I have grown tired of the following phrase and any version of it: “I think our current President is one of the worst in the long history of this once great nation.” I am sick and tired of reading every article, every sound bite, and every news clip proclaiming that the current president is the worst. Maybe he is maybe he isn’t but it seems everyone is just jumping on the bandwagon and playing partisan politics. Don’t you people remember Clinton? Everyone thought he was the worst. Before that there was Ronald Reagan in his second term and the Iran-Contra program and even before that there was Jimmy Carter. When I was 9 years old my parents bought 2 pigs and named them Jimmy and Rosalynn because my parents were so disgusted with high inflation, high jobless rate and interest rates in the high teens not to mention the bungling of airline strikes that forced my job out of work every other year. During Carters administration there was something called the misery index that tied together Gas Prices, Inflation, Unemployment and Interest rates. Before Jimmy there was “Dick” Nixon who turned out to be a paranoid genius who resorted to criminal behavior because of delusions of losing his job. The main point of this diatribe is that fact that I am sick to death of people just taking what the media feeds them and regurgitating it back. I visited three myspace websites today (don’t ask why? It was research of the galatically stupid. Look for the blog post later.) that in their bio included the phrase I think this president is the worst or some other version of the same common theme. I believe in the freedom of speech. I believe that the expression of ones opinion is a right and should be exercised often. However instead of pointing out the problem with negative attacks why not turn it into change. Free thought has left the building and we are now building thoughts on top of the media’s assertions that their ideas are the only correct ideas and then pushing them down everyone’s throats until we are sheeple. Bashing the President every chance you get on everything doesn’t help change or fix a problem. I guess I am tired of the cynicism, the negative attacks. I think people should try to find what is good and right about things and not what is bad and negative.
