On the occasion of the Inauguration of the 44th President, I was having a discussion with a friend.  He’s not a big supporter of Obama. I’m not a big supporter of anybody. IMHO, there is no appreciable difference between Republicans or Democrats, Reds or Blues. The conspiracy theorist in me suspects that they meet in secret bunkers outside DC or maybe at the Westfields Marriott in Chantilly, Virginia and come up with goofy new shit for conservatives and liberals to argue about to distract them from the fact that there’s not a single fucking significant difference between the major policies of either major party and that none of the things that are truly on their agenda have anything to do with people like you and me. I ask you peruse the quote below:

God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. …And what country can preserve its liberties, if it’s rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

Thomas Jefferson

I’d like to note that one of the Founding Fathers is not talking about a foreign tyrant here because they had already gotten rid of him. He’s talking about the government of the US. The people need to wake from their lethargy and take back their government. I think when they do it will make the Reign of Terror look like Sesame Street.
