Yea this may be screwed up, but hell... what Presidential Administration did not have a few flaws?
Grant... a good guy couldn’t tell the difference between a crook and a good guy so by his blindness there were crooks that made him look bad. Now with Bush, only a damned idiot would not consider the fact that the president gets information, ideas, suggestions, and either stuff from his administration... yes the administration may be corrupt but it’s not his fault he was deceived by his people, and Congress also has a say in what happens.. you don’t think we went to war because Bush was like OMGWTFBBQ111one111 lets got pawn these %(%$ers, no we went because our intelligence system said there were weapons of mass destruction. Plus the fact that Sadam needed to be taken out of power, and not to forget Bush wanted to help the innocent people over there.
Oh and another interesting point is that previous appointed people by Bill Clinton are still in Bush's Administration so don’t go blaming a President, because most of his choices are influenced by the people. For myself i don’t like our government for the sole reason they hide stuff from us(drolly to protect us) and bad people get into it without notice. Everyone has their views but i hate when people stick to one side w/out looking at the others point of view and think they are the right one because they are self centered. I will not rate any one on this because these are opinions and everyone is entitled to one... Just don’t be blinded without looking into it fully.
Edit: Have you seen "Wag the dog"?
Moon Landing Conspiracy
Read about or learned about any government scandals
Read Howard Zinns "A Peoples History of the United States"
Read "Lies My Teacher Told Me"
Actually pay'd attention in your U.S. History Class
Asked a person from another country how their History was taught
Tried to grasp insight on Politics
<Insert more stuff here>
I have a check on some of these, this is where I am justifying my points, and I’m trying my best to understand both sides of the stories. I'm sure if any of you have done no more than 3 of these points your Point of View on are government is likely to be cynical, not saying that to bash on you, but hey anyone could have done most of these and still be cynical.. I guess it depends on the way your mind works.
There, you happy now? I put it into MS Word and tried fixing it.
