Many bloggers have, in my opinion, have gone overboard with how screwed America is under Obama. I personally think try as he might, and he is trying (mostly through incompetence) to run this country into the ground, America is more than a bunch of chuckleheads in Washington. Sure, they have likely prolonged the economic agony we are collectively in with their stupid policies, and the pain will get worse. But i have a LOT of faith in Americans, because through all the crap each of us as endured, collectively and as individuals, we continue to be Americans (or at least people that like staying here).
I don't profess any great admiration for talk radio show hosts, least of all conservative mouthpiece Sean Hannity who denigrates Libertarians at every turn, but he is right about something he said this week, in my opinion.
Whomever we elect in the fall must be elected not on party, but on principle, and MADE ACCOUNTABLE, reminded by us at every vote they represent us the people. And it wouldn't hurt if they repealed everything BO passed so far...
Now I am going to have a real good cry...
No, the problem is that the US government is one of the most corrupted on the planet. They are brought and paid for by big business, or by big religion, whoever has the most money to throw at them. The President and Congress could give a rat's arse about the people, they only care about who is buying them; they know where their bread and butter is coming from and it is not the citizens even though they are the ones that put them in office. Welcome to reality.
ReplyDeleteAbsolute power is never good for any group of people and certainly NOT for the governed.....but giving the government control of 1/6 of our GDP is insane.
ReplyDeletethe US government is BOUGHT and PAID for and it is those that bought them, that they represent NOT We The People
ReplyDeleteWhat's nice about today's situation is that there is a huge opportunity to spread facts. Even just this little blog page you have was unavailable to us 20 years ago. I believe this has a lot to do with how Obama and his fellows have been slowed in their attempts to pass some particularly un-american policies. It also was a big factor in making the President the fastest loser of public confidence ever, his approval rating fell faster in the first year than any other president ever. We still have to spread the word on the conservative alternative.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree grey.
ReplyDeleteIt was all around when King George II was in power and he got a second term even with all the shit he did in the first term.
ReplyDeleteCorrupt government has been around since Jesus' days on earth...it's the same ole shit just in different piles. We can try to hold our elected officials accountable but in end they'll follow the money. We cannot get enough honest, God fearing men and women in office to really make the changes that need to made. I'm just saying...my opinion.
