Really, is there any hope for this country? We have a government that seems to ignore the will of the people. Treating us more like disobedient children, instead of the bosses that we truly are. Remember, we have the right to vote the bums out. Too bad we don’t use this right more often.
But, there seems to be such a wide gulf of opinions. And things that I have learned were “evil”, seem to be embraced. Take communism, socialism, etc. In school, I learned that such beliefs were bad. As bad as Nazis. Now, these beliefs seem to be loved and followed. What gives?
When did we become so namby pamby that we lost the will to struggle, achieve, succeed on our own? When did we start believing the the government is our parent, there to coddle us, and protect us from the bumps? (missing the truth that the government will be our enslaver)
Frankly, I want the bumps. Each bump is a learning experience. One that makes us smarter, better, stronger (well at least if we are intelligent enough to learn from it).
Which brings me to my pitchfork. Last night, a 60-40 vote occurred which pushes the Obamacare program closer to the finish line.
In the normal word, bribes, threats, blackmail are all illegal. But, in the Senate and the House, they seem to be proudly acclaimed. The mafiosi would be right at home in our government.
LA gets $300 mil. Nebraska gets federally funded Medicaid. Another district gets $100 mil to a hospital. Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut all get similar payoffs or bribes. (click here for detailed list on Michelle Malkin’s site)
Every vote bought with your hard earned easily wasted tax dollars. Something is really wrong with a system that steals your money, and then uses it to buy a vote for a program that you strongly oppose.
Or, using your money for something that you are morally opposed to. Such as abortion. Oh, I realize that Nelson held out for the “states can opt out” line (yes, Nelson, we also realize that your vote can be bought for about $100 mil). But, it is assumed that your state is “in”, until it actually opts out. And, I live in Libland, so what the likelihood of that?
Or, maybe I’m looking at this wrong. Maybe, instead of being angry that both of my idiot Senators voted for this crap, I should be mad that they didn’t hold out for more money….. (If my Senators are going to be whores, I at least want them to be expensive ones…)
Just kidding. What is wrong, is wrong….
