Open thread for Sunday, January 26th: Sick of It!

 Here is the open thread for Sunday, January 26th; please feel free to post links to interesting articles and to discuss whatever issues arise during the course of the day. Nothing is off-topic here.

   As usual you can follow America’s Watchtower on Facebook and Twitter by clicking the links on the right. I often post links to articles I probably will not be writing about so it is a great way to keep up with what is going on in the world. You can also subscribe to receive email updates and if you do you will never miss a post again.

  In case you have not noticed I have replaced the old Twitter widget with a new, fully interactive Twitter widget. This widget updates my tweets in near real time and allows you to respond to or retweet my tweets right from the blog. Is also allows you to tweet me right from America’s Watchtower. How cool is that! If you do not have a Twitter account what better reason do you need to sign up for one!?

  Please check out what the New Federalist Party has been up to by clicking on the link to the right. On the NFP Facebook page you will find a link to the party platform. Check it out and if you like what you see we are currently looking for donations and delegates to the states for the convention.

  Let me ask you all a simple question: are you sick of it?

  Are you sick of an overreaching Federal government which wishes to impose its radical agenda through dictate? Are you sick of a lawless regime which unilaterally decides which laws to enforce and which one to ignore? Are you sick of the NSA spying on your telephone calls? Are you sick of the Federal government using the IRS to target its political opponents? Are you sick of the criminalization of opposition? Are you sick of being called names for disagreeing with the government? Are you sick of politicians who put their own personal gain and lust for power ahead of doing the people’s business? Are you sick of the global warming hoax? Are you sick of lobbyists enjoying all the power of making policy while the people have no voice? Are you sick of being lied to and betrayed by the people who are supposed to be representing you? Are you sick of the mainstream media’s lies, deceptions, and distractions? Are you sick of the class warfare and the trumped up war on women? Are you sick of a Federal government which seeks to divide in order to conquer? Are you sick of the out of control deficits and spending? Are you sick of politicians like Paul Ryan who claim to want to put an end to the spending and then passing a budget which reverses the sequester cuts on the backs of the military? Are you sick of politicians using tragedies to push their agenda? Are you sick of politicians creating crisis to push their agenda? Are you sick of the fact that nobody has been held accountable for Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS, the NSA, the TSA, the green energy initiative which sent money to politically connected corporations which eventually failed? Are you sick of there being no accountability in the Federal government? Are you sick of the lack of transparency despite the promise of more transparency? Are you just plain sick of the whole damn thing?

  If you answered yes to any of the above this song is for you. Here is Skillet performing ‘Sick of It’ live from Soulfest last year, a show I just happened to attend.

When everything you do
Don’t seem to matter.
You try but it’s no use
Your world is getting blacker.

When every time you fail
Has no answer.
Every empty promise made
Is a reminder.

No one can make this better
Take control, it’s now or never!

Are you sick of it?
Raise your hands,
Get rid of it!
While there’s a fighting chance.
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands…

If you’re sick of it!
