Sheep without a shepard

Shepardless sheep

Someone told me that those of us who live in the united states are like sheep and george w.bush is our shepard. Well, if that is the case, this sheep has chosen not to be part of this flock so I guess I am a sheep without a shepard and proud of it.

I will be the first to admit that I once thought he was the answer to some of the problems that afflected this country but the longer he is in office the more I realize he is not the answer. He may be the problem itself at this point.

He talks a good game about protecting us from the terrorists, yet if it had not been for the committee in the house to day rejecting a plan for company in dubai to take over the security of our ports. Now, suddenly they back out and and american company is going to take over and I am suspicious of that deal. Wondering if we will be any better off or safer. Personally I think Patty Murry's bill to have inspections of the cargoes in every port was more feasible than having a company just inspect them in our ports. But that is not going to happen so we have to hope the chimp and his buddies really are thinking of our best interest and protecting us.

Then there is the war which he seems to think we are going to win? Is it a winnable war? I think not and therefore I would like to see us starting to pull out but my guess is that is not going to happen either. Well, this is my first attempt at a polical blog and I hope I get better.
