I couldn't bring myself to watch the State of the Union tonight. It's not because I'm not a good citizen, it's because I wanted to prevent violence in my household from throwing objects at the TV. After reading the transcript I just got damn angry, though I read that after the statement "Key provisions of the PATRIOT Act are set to expire next year" he was interrupted by applause. Between his bouts of paranoia, preaching abstinence, invoking God and telling Congress that they should be cutting wasteful spending while he sends up a budget containing 10 billion dollars in porkbarrel projects, I can't tell if he's just that short sighted or whether Cheney is actually pulling the strings. I'm sure some may see this as just liberal ramblings from an unbalanced mind, but I really cannot read the transcript without becoming livid. To think it's 2004 and we're still racebaiting and misleading the American public all in the name of his chosen religion. No wonder that half the world is pissed off at us.
