When I started writing seriously in August of 2006, I promised myself, I would never write about politics and the stench that it leaves behind, but in the year 2010, there are too many important issues that are being ignored by the worthless Congress, that I have a duty to speak out.
The Red, White and Blue gives me and every American that right, and every American should speak out before it's too late! The country is headed in the wrong direction...the direction of the U.S. Congress...the self-serving members who don't deserve what they make...and all the bums should be thrown out of the U.S. Congress; the state and the city governments all across the nation...PERIOD!
MY TWO-CENTS: (Comments/opinions)
Sarah Paycheck...sorry...Sarah Palin? Is this the best American's can do? Who in their right mind, would consult with this quitter like Sarah Paycheck from Alaska? American's are scraping the bottom of the barrel for sure! Sarah Palin...sorry Sarah Paycheck...rides around in her little bookmobile, selling her books, to the suckers of America, who have money to throw away! American's need Sarah Paylin like we need another amber alert! I think a red alert would be safer...don't you?
I ask again...is the 'Pee Party' sorry...the Tea Party the best American's can do? In my 65 years on this planet and in this country...the American people have NEVER been a third party nation...NEVER...at least in modern times, etc. The only thing a third party serves to do, is to take from one side or the other...but to actually win an election...it will probably never happen!
I remember back in the early 1990's, when the United States had a third party of 'Ross Parrot' sorry Ross Perot, the billionair from Texas who headed his own computer company. Ross Parrot didn't want a third party name; a platform; planks in the platform; a vice-president; the U.S. Congress; all that democracy stuff! Ross Parrot wanted to be the Emporer of the World with no questions asked of the People of the United States, etc. He ran his own company like a dictator...and that's what he wanted to do out of the White House!
'Ross Parrot,' a.k.a. Ross Perot...was a fast-talking Texan, who picked a worthless four-star General out of the Air Force, to be his 'running mate.' (WOW!) When Ross Parrot started getting punched in the nose and from all sides...the Left...the Right...in front...from the back...his family started getting insulted and assulted...he quit his run for the White House! He would have made a lousy dictator, in my view!
So, who is this Sarah Palin...sorry...Sarah Paycheck? What is this Tea Party...sorry...Pee Party about, anyway?
I remember the old saying from the 1950's, "What this country needs, is a good 5 cent cigar." I'll amend that old saying a little..."What this country needs, is to throw ALL the bums out of city; state and the federal government...especially the worthless U.S. Congress!"
Why have I never been a Republican or a Democrat, you may ask? Because I can think for myself. I don't need the Republicans or the Democrats to think for me! I have always voted for a person as to where they stand...a moderate; conservative, etc. I have never, nor will I ever vote for a liberal or an ultra-liberal. I think it has been liberalism...the free spending of those in high places, that has got the United States in trouble all over the world...and in red ink we are drowning in...and, that we may not get out of. All this reckless spending has to stop, by all levels of government, in my view.
Will somebody tell me...what is the difference between a Republican and a Democrat?
I have to confess to the reader, that I have not voted much during my lifetime...it's hard for me to pick one of those dispicapble people in the Senate or the House of Ill-Repute. (Formerly known as the House of Representatives)
I live in a sleepy, one horse town of Albuquerque, New Mexico, with about 500,000 popultation. This will surprise many...we even have running water; electricity and running water...neat, eh? Here, in New Mexico, the worthless governor cannot run again on his corript platform, and so for the first time, New Mexico will have a woman governor. Everyone is wondering what that will be like! Governnor Richardson leaves office with an approval rating of a puny 30%. He was also the Director of the Pay to Play office in this state ...you know...the state of corruption, etc.
Meanwhile Martin Chaves was thrown out ot the Mayor's office after the last electios. Tampering with the City Charter, I guess he wanted to be one of those 40 years bosses like they have in Chicago and Newark and elsewhere. The citizens of Albuquerque, did the right thing and gave him the boot! Martin Chavez and Bill Richardson will never again hold office in this state, and that's good news for the taxpayer.
The question is simple...'Who can you trust, anymore?' There aren't many trustworthy people out there!
In the 1960's and 70's, I was really proud of American's, for their fiestyness; their willingness to protest their own government...and it took about 15 years...but the American people finally won out.
In 2010, the American people are different people...apathetic to it all; couch potatoes; the American people in 2010, don't know how to protest. A write about this in a piece called;
American's Are Candy-Asses When It Comes To Protesting;
http://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=56666
Everyone knows that America was founded on racism; bigotry; oppression; capitalism/fraud; corruption...the White boys would not know anything about this...except the corruption part. There was one Senator, from the east, who died recently, who had 50 structures named after him in his state,etc. Bridges; airports; highways; courthouses; schools; and the list goes on. All these 'earmarks' as they are called...are free for the grabbing to people in the Congress...a big candy store with no accountibility to the Congress or anybody else. A free-for-all of taxpayer's money!
American's greatest fear is being homeless!
Well...it happened to me in 2005 and at the age of 60. With SIX job layoffs over a period of a decade or so, I found myself homeless and living in a homeless shelter for over six weeks, etc.
But, the one thing that I noticed and struck me as peculiar and perplexing, was the fact, that of the 50 or so men in the shelter...about two-thirds of them, didn't look as if they belonged there. In other words, they didn't look like the streotypical street people with weathered faces and beards, etc. Many of them, had good communications skills, and looked as if they could just put on a coat and tie and work down the street at the bank!
This fact was scary to me, because I think many of these people, were of the middle class, and could have just fallen through the cracks, because of job layoffs. I've lived through the 50's, 60's and 70's and beyond, and I've never seen it this bad! All the Congress does, is to use every delaying tactic to get away from their responsibilities to the American people!
If American's don't take back their country...and make the people in Congress responsible...jobs and corporations will continue to leave the United States at will, etc. As far as jobs are concerned...it's going to get worse...before it gets better! And, part of the fault lies with the American people, because they don't protest loud and clear enough!
The people in the Congress give themselves a raise every chance they get...while American's stand in the unemployment line...it's a disgrace!
President Obummer is finding out the hard way, that he doesn't have the power he thought he would have...nor does he have the power to get even the slightest thing done! I don't blame Obummer as much for the mess as I blame the worthless U.S. Congress!
I don't know who you're voting for come election day, but I'm voting 'to throw the bums out' of every level of government!
