Well the voting is done, and I am now a soldier under a largely democrat controlled congress. It is indeed time for me to stock up on standard capacity (likely to become “assault” or “high capacity” magazines again thanks to the way the ballots turned out.) It is also time to kiss any hopes of sane wages or better medical care for my enlisted ass goodbye, while quite probably seeing absolutely no decrease in mission requirements for personnel – but a large cutback in the number of troops serving. History repeats itself, and we prove time and time again that we are far to stupid to learn from what has happened in the past.

Naturally, there are cordial talks of intent to “work together as a bipartisan congress”, and everyone that believes that will happen is more than welcome to test my theory that gravity has no effect from the center of the Brooklyn Bridge between the hours of 2231 and 2248 on the 3rd Friday of each month – by jumping off head first. The new ringleader in the HOR is no saint. Some could rationally argue she lacks any moral fibre at all. If you are personally guilty of an act fully lacking integrity and honor – how exactly do you hoist the flaming pitchfork towards another for the very same act? Personally, I don’t have an answer for that – but I’m sure Pelosi has some insight, she seems very good at doing just that.

To be completely honest, if I am to be deployed again – it should be to Capitol Hill. I swore to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. For most of my adolescent and adult life – the single largest threat to that which I swore to defend has had offices in the Capitol Building, taking turns raping our rights under the guise of “better good” or “safety.” Our system needs a serious overhaul, I just don’t know if there’s a technician qualified enough to fix the damage that has been done.
