I look forward to the day...

It may well be two years away yet, but I am looking forward to a day when someone else occupies the White House. I still don't account to the man malfeasance, at least not initially, but I do believe that these last few years, since the Iraq ball began to roll, and there was no way to stop it without losing face, this man has answered to no higher power than his ego. He certainly has stopped responding to the American public.

I look forward to a day, where we are led by a man who handles the job of President with a simple incompetence that we laugh off, excusing it because he isn't committing crimes against our nation or anyone else's. I look forward to the day where we have a President that doesn't libel and slander the liberty that we hold dear with every flick of a pen and every speech he makes.

I look forward to the day where citizenship isn't inferred by a person's behavior, but is an objective legal fact once again. I look forward to the day where free speech is the universal law of the land once more, and protesters are not jailed for their signs.

The reason that I look forward to this day, is because our highest office is filled by a man, who is not a public servant, but a man seeking to exercise what he believes to be American might and power. What he doesn't know is that his power isn't unlimited, and so he acts as if it is. Unfortunately, he also doesn't know that the greatness of the American President exists because of the limits of the office. The greatness of the American government is in it's limits of jurisdiction. We have forgotten --or maybe we have never really believed-- that the government that governs best, governs least.

Our Government was created, intended to be, marginalized by its citizens. It was set up to be pushed into a corner and to exist by the good graces of the American people. It was never meant to have one hand picking your pocket and the other stealing your watch. It was never meant to monitor the chemical content of your body, or worry how you altered it. Our government was meant to safeguard our life, liberty and property -- not to tax, restrict and create no-fly lists.

We have fallen very far, and it is because we have chosen poor leaders. It is a gift to the rest of the world that is that we have given ourselves a congress that will act as an antagonist to the president. I hope that it will at least distract him from the rest of the world, draw his attention home so that we don't open up another front in this war on terror(TM).

I look forward to a day where my taxes don't kill people in far away lands, where I am not buying bullets or bombs to be spent on innocent populations. I look forward to a day where the world is made safe again, by a president who is willing to be a public servant, not a tyrant
