Sometimes I just wonder why bother!! I mean I am a busy woman. I have three kids I run a household, educate my children, and try and keep my budget balanced. I DO not have time to babysit the weasels in Washington! It is their job to listen to US and vote the way we decide.. Yet once again I feel under represented and helpless in this downward spiral of government. I can scarcely believe how quickly we are trading in our liberties as long as big brother will take care of us..
Do you wonder once the middle class is gone, who will pay for all these debts... Yep, that's right one of those future tax payers is asking for a sippy cup as I sit here and type..
I wonder how I will answer my kids when they ask, "why did you just sit by and go along with such absurd spending??" Will I say, "Well we didn't want to have financial hardship, or suffer, so we pushed it back on the future generations.."
Ughhhh.. as you can see I am so tired of having to be vigilant and try and keep up with all the sneaky, back room policies that each party is trying to push through..
I mean for real, do we need a UN treaty to protect US children?? NO, the constitution and state laws do a fine job. Leave the International courts out of our home, thank you!
Do we need an enviornmental program that will destroy 2 jobs to every one it creates? NO, we are in the midst a a recession, please don't cripple our economy any further. Most Americans understand green, and get it already.
Do we need bail outs and government owned private industry? No, let them fail, that is what happens in America. That is why we are a land of opportunity. We all can succeed or fail, we are free to do either. Ever heard refined by the fire? Well no one became great being sheilded and protected from harm. Out of the great trials have come some of our brightest moments in America. No one strives for excellence if their is no fear of failure or hope of success.
Do we need government to provide our generosity? No, America is one of the most merciful and giving countries on the planet. We send aid all over the world in the form of the Red Cross, and the Salvation Army and millions of other privately sponsored agencies. How many of us feel like we are doing our christian and patriotic duty on April 15th??
We have indoctrinated our children, yes, you and I have been given a sorry education. One that we continue to finance yearly with our tax dollars, yet we have no say in the quality provided. American's don't know their history. Our kids do not know history, except for the drivel they watered down in the public school system. But I bet half of them can tell you who was voted off American Idol, or the latest Hannah Montanna lyrics. How about who is Speaker of the House? Who becomes president if the President and VP die? What are the three branches of government???
Okay, I am sick and tired and tired and sick and 2012 is just around the corner. Yay, we get to start this all over again. I think I am hoping for a Palin/Romney ticket?? And before I hear that she is not qualified, let me just say my chicken, Sparkles, could do a better job up there than those weasels! For goodness sakes we need someone with some common sense..Here..Here..
So I am going to :
1. Teach government and more specifically the Constitution, inside and out next year.
2. Change my voter registration to Independent. (and no I do not believe in aliens)
3. And work long and hard calling my representatives in Congress to let them know I am making it my job to get them fired in the next election, see you at the park ;)
