Leaving the Nation

I am seriously considering a way out of this great nation again.  I considered it in 2008.  Now I am considering it again.  Some that know me would say its because I don't agree with a republican majority in congress and things of this nature.  That is partly true but not the whole picture.  The truth is I am tired of both ends of the political spectrum.  And even if I don't leave I am changing my registration to independent.  Both parties are completely full of crap.  And neither appears better than the other.  Both sides would ask me, "But why?".  I answer with the fact that both are completely corrupt and selfish and do not represent those of us who are citizens of the United States.

You might ask for examples.  On point Eric Cantor acted like an idiot today regarding foreign policy in Israel against the foreign policy of the executive branch.  The very same thing happened a few years ago when Pelosi and others were in Syria and talked to Assad against Bush's wishes.  It goes both ways people and its ridiculous.  Furthermore, Charlie Rangel is under investigation for House Rules violations which actually doesn't surprise me.  From the moment he was going to be placed on the house ways and means committee I thought he was a shady character.  Now he is in trouble on 14 counts and walks out.  Democrats want to claim "better" or more "ethical" behavior for this nation and they don't show it.  Then republicans (esp the teabaggers) take up the flame to claim their moral superiority and yet they do not show it either.

For those extremists from both sides who claim they are doing something good for this country.  Think again!  It is tearing us apart.  I've had enough and both parties are in bed with special interests and corporations to the point that all they worry about is money, votes, and the next election cycle.  I cannot fix this alone and I doubt that most people who read this blog post would come close to agreeing because they are too busy acting like "good little extremists".

Fine, but its time to start planning my way out of this nation after I am done with school.  It is getting ridiculous and I see where it is headed.  Duplicitousness and division do not solve anything.  One's evil is the next guy's morality and its not right.  But what can I do but leave before this place falls into a giant cauldron of conflict and dare I say riots and armed raids from one side against the other.  No more nonsense.  It is time to start planning the leave after I am done with school.
