Why aren't people waking up?

So I've been sitting here wondering why in the pledge of allegiance it says "and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, with liberty and justice for all" I've known the first part for a long time, that we dont have democracy, and never have. In actuality the U.S. has always been a republic. the second part "under god" deliberately suggests the reality we have experienced under the Bush administration, that church and state aren't seperated. The last part to me is laughable. Liberty and justice for all (except if your black, a woman, gay ect) As for the constitution, what does it even mean anymore? If the democracy that it supports doesn't even exist no wonder people disregard it, and it sits in some museum collecting dust. Will true democracy ever exist? Will the people of America wake up and start taking back the power that rightfully rests in their hands? People constantly try to categorize political/social views and opinions. You have Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, conservatives, partisan, bi-partisan. See the pattern? Duality is not a concept that belongs in government or politics. You can't take people and ideas and cram them into these small meaningless labels and expect any substantial change or efficiency in government. I see The U.S. as an incredibly obese, sweaty man on a hospital bed with an I.V. in his arm. The I.V. is dosing fear, complacency, and a false sense of nationalism without dissent directly into his blood stream. However, the I.V. is almost empty and pretty soon the fat sweaty man is going to feel the pain of his condition, and he is going to have to wake the **** up, get on a treadmill, start researching information instead of just eating up the bullshit thats fed to him, and come together with others to be proactive and form a true democracy.
