Mad and Angry

I am darn tired of hearing all these people moan and complain about the problems that this country is facing. Darn people get a life. You sit there behind your computer and play your silly games, play with your blackberries, drive around in your big SUV’s and Hummers and just complain…complain, complain.

It really galls me when 43% of the registered voters in this country in the last general election didn’t bother to get off their soft posteriors and out of their cushy easy chairs and vote. The real pisser is they complain the loudest. If you don’t vote you don’t get a b_ _ _ _ ticket.

Then there are the people that are half assed informed. They listen to one news channel, read one newspaper, and listen to one radio station, all of which spew out the same old tired rhetoric and they think they are informed…must be nice living in the ozone layer.

Hey how about those people that just sit around and listens to those so called informed people and formulate their ideas from what they say…fly me to the moon.

Now here’s a real good group of intellectual giants. These are the ones that take a certain element of truth and inject a bunch of their home spun garbage into it and call it fact…your honor I object.

Oh, now you have those individuals that register as democrats or republicans and vote a straight ticket, it doesn’t matter what his or her platform is. I mean it could be Popeye or Olive Oil, just as long as it has a “D” or “R” behind their name they vote for them…spinach anyone.

Hey, wait there one minute, if you think that the politicians are off the hook…ha ha no chance. They climb into their ivory towers and stroke and rub that so called book of knowledge, that they want the people to think they have, and tell us that they have been infused with the intelligence to manage the affairs of state. How can they when three quarters of them can’t even find the executive bathroom and the other 25 percent don’t care because they’re never there…three martini, oh make that a four martini lunch anyone.

I guess I’m finished with my ranting. It probably doesn’t make any sense to you but it makes me feel real good. I’ll tell you what, if you have a rant leave a comment. Let’s see what happens.

A.D. A Common Man

This has been so one hell of an interesting political year so far. I watch and listen with great interest to one candidate, a candidate that the people have embraced and taken to heart. A candidate that tells the people that change is needed. This candidate tells the people that we are stagnating economically. He tells us that this government is not working and needs to be overhauled and that we have lost respect in the eyes of the world. He blames one group of people for all the problems that we have in this country. We need to change the politics of the old to the politic of the new. He tells the people that hope is here and that he can give us that hope. He tells the people that if they elect him he will build a better country a better way of life. That he will lead the people out of poverty and will provide health care for all. He promises to tax only the people that compose the upper class.

The people appear by the hundreds by the thousands to hear and listen to his words of hope, his lofty goals for this country. The people wrap themselves in his great optimism and his direction of stability. He embalms the people with his charisma and rhetoric. They rally behind him they cheer him they are in awe of him. The people stand up; they raise their hands and shout “Heil Hitler”.

People if you thought I was writing about Barack Obama you could be right. This is the same style and rhetoric that Adolph Hitler used in his campaign for president of Germany in 1934. He destroyed Germany.

                                              TELL ME PLEASE

What are the politicians doing to this great country? Please tell me! What do they think they are doing and in what direction are they leading us…I use the term “leading” very loosely.

Haven’t you noticed that once these politicians…which we the people elect to these offices…have been voted in and placed into the position of responsibility for taking care of the PEPOLE, pursue their own political agenda. They disregard the issues that we the people elected them to pursue and ratify. I am…and I’m sure that you are…getting tired of hearing these elected officials telling us “What the American people want is this” when in actuality they are saying “What I think you need” then push their political rhetoric upon us.

When was the last time one of these elected officials went among their constituents and asked what they wanted done or how this issue should be handled? My answer and I’m sure your answer would be never. What gives these officials the right to determine what and how we should think? We elected these people to labor for us.

We have to WAKE up and realize that these political scabs are draining this country of all it stands for and what our forefather envisioned for this country The Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence were not drafted for these individuals to interpret and mold to their own wants and desires. These documents were written for the PEOPLE and we THE PEOPLE should hold these politicians accountable.” We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”. This is the preamble to the Constitution. Do you think any of these politicians follow its principles? I’ll leave that answer up to you.

In the House and in the Senate you have that good ole boy network…..you know the politicians that keep getting elected over and over and over again and established “squatters” rights to that office. They really do not represent the interest of the people that voted them into office. They have held these offices so long they do not care what you think. They know that you will keep electing them right back into office. Now people don’t you think that it’s time to throw these old relics out…don’t you think they have made enough money off the poor tax payer. Rise and shine people…there is a sun out there and it should shine on us. We have to put these old swaybacks out to pasture.

Think about it, look around you. Have these perpetual senators and representatives accomplished anything that is substantial to YOU or this great country…heck no…the only thing that they have done is to pad that big huge bank account. It is sad that they have forgotten what is great country stands for and what our fathers, sons and daughters have fought for.

People of America it’s our time, what we have to do is get off our collective cushy posteriors and hold these antiquated politicians to task. We need educate ourselves and start looking into revitalizing the moral and political atmosphere of this country. We are being held hostage by a minority that is bending us to their will. This is a tragedy that we can rectify. STAND UP silent MAJORITY and be counted.  

One of the great things about living in America is being able to call yourself an “American”. America has long been a name that signifies strength, liberty, justice and an opportunity not just for us but also for others.

From Americas very beginning the men, women and children that landed on these shores were pioneers not bound by convention or illusion of greatness but bound in the unity to form a great nation. The greatness that comes to this country comes from these people. They found a safe haven and the willingness to chart and implement even through great hardship and misgivings a land that provided opportunity, liberty and justice. These people set aside their differences and worked together long and with great difficulty to accomplish these goals. These brave men and women not only have endured but gave their lives to see that this America would survive.

The greatness of America is in these people. They have fought wars both world wide and civil and showed intrepidness and allegiance to defend these values that we hold so dear. To establish a heritage of bravery and honor so we could pass it down from generation to generation. For many of these people it was a dream that they would not see fulfilled but they knew that this dream would endure and flourish and engender the next generation to bear its burden

Like any family the American people would often disagree among themselves but when confronted by a common adversary they would band together in this adversity and fight side by side to defend and protect their values and their freedom to show to other nation their ideas of integrity and responsibility and the concerns for other people. This was the foundation that America was built on. For generations America was seen as dedicated, proud, generous willing and able to enter into any conflict where the right and liberties of others were infringed upon. This America has long given its bravest its youngest and its brightest to place it in the position of the citadel of freedom and the symbol of hope for all.

Like a great edifice the foundation of America is showing the signs of deterioration. The decline of small town values the loss of common sense and the belief in “every man for himself” is eroding this foundation. We are quarreling among ourselves and splintering off into smaller and smaller competing groups. We are crumbling from within. What happened to the phrase “One nation under God indivisible with truth and justice” is it being replaced with “divide and conquer”. What happened to the America that showed the world “united we stand”? What happened to the America with the heritage of strength and unity and fortitude to accomplish its goal of peace and freedom for all people?

America has long been governed by the concept that we are a “government of the people, by the people and for the people. Today and for the last couple of decades those concepts seem to have lost their meaning and their purpose. Just look around your own neighborhood, your city and even your state and you will notice that your political powers are eroding and the spirit and values that were instrumental in the formation of America are being systematically destroyed. They are not being destroyed by guns or bombs but by the insidious action from within. The love of one’s God, the love of country are becoming but cries in the wilderness.   

So America what are we going to do before this great foundation that many before us shed their blood and died crumbles? What are we going to do to bring back those values and that heritage? Remember “a house divided is a house that falls”.
