Last Post of 2009

Time is running out on 2009. It will soon be over, as will this decade. This post will be the last one of the year. And what it year it has been. One I won’t forget anytime soon. In 2009 the first Black American became President and then he proceeded to renege on most of his campaign promises. He was elected to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but instead he sent more troops to Afghanistan. He promised to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” but he has done nothing but continue the hate and discrimination against our GLBT brothers and sisters. He promised to make changes, monumental change, but where are these changes? All we see is the continued policies of the previous administration. Policies that dismantled checks and balances in our government. Policies that weakened our social, educational, and medical safeguards. Policies that put our country in a finical cesspool that will take years to recover from, if we can. Needless to say, 2009 is the year that I lost all faith in the Democratic Party and our elected officials. It’s like the old adage says, “Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason.”
I’m hopeful that 2010 will bring us all good things. Let’s see how long that hope lasts.
