Jeremy Schmitzerle

Below is my cousin Jeremy's words.  I couldn't agree more.

 

 

 

"I wish people would read history, and realize that its not one mans fault that he has not been a good leader of humans. The fault lies in our condition as humans, and our fickle nature. Obama promised a lot, but, thats what politicians do. Politicians have to promise things to get elected. Now people hate him because he couldn't put more money in their pockets immediately. And for all you dumbasse...s who throw around Fascism, really, read a book. By the way, fascism comes from the Italian verb fasciare meaning: to bind, or bring together. If we want a good leader, we have to start bringing our priorities to tolerance and education, not money. And, also, for all the people that mention our founding fathers as justification to argue about why our current government is fucked up, remember: it was the founding fathers that were also responsible for the banking system, early fascism, and the two party system. Please people, read a book! This rant is not intended for everybody, of course, but, I don't know where people get their information. If Democracy is intended to put the power in the hands of the people, why don't we start exercising our power? It's unfortunate, that in our society(western society)economic prosperity equals social happiness. Freedom requires, not just sacrifice on the battlefield, but by us as citizens in our country. Real liberation freedom takes real sacrifice from everybody, but nobody is willing to do that. Ultimately, people just want to be comfortable, not free. So,go ahead, trash Obama, and pick a candidate that will get you back to your comfort zone. Hopefully it works out for us as a society, but, if Romney gets elected, and doesn't deliver in four years, don't blame him, blame yourselves. And, it's always amazing to me that in this day and age that people are still holding on to the hope that a person can do anything in four years, and then blame that person for not performing miracles."
