Surely there are enough people in this great land of ours
who are not a party to the extremism on both sides of the aisle in
Congress. What we have now is a
country paralyzed and divided artificially by the arch-conservatives on the
right (Republicans and Tea Party imbeciles who are screaming for more and more
budget cuts, repealing the health care law, not funding emergency agencies,
pulling funding for middle and working class families, running from science and
common sense and generally waving a political flag that has little basis in
reality.) and some arch-progressives on the left (Democrats who won’t rest
until we have the government doing everything but wiping our behinds, and who
won’t bridge any chasm between a welfare state and what is really possible.) Everyone else there is too concerned
about their re-election and making sure they get a ‘recess’ every three weeks
to focus on solving the staggering problems that need immediate and rational
solutions.
There is stasis between these three groups who don’t
represent the vast majority of sensible fair-minded Americans who understand
that compromise must be found to solve the major problems that hinder our
action and planning for a productive future in a changing world. We are all out here scratching our
heads and wondering where is the reality in our government. Why are the emotional idiots in
Congress who only think about their re-election posturing making decisions for
all of us? Watching the
pronouncements by Republicans and Democrats about the nefarious motives of
their adversaries is sickening.
None of them is thinking about the country---only themselves!
There is only one thing left to do…..we must elect all new
congressmen and women who are rational; who don’t have vested interests and are
not ‘bought and paid for’ by the various lobbyists and influence peddlers in
Washington. There needs to be a
leader to spearhead this new movement—someone with some common sense who is not
worried about a second term.
Someone who understands the founding principals of this democracy—that
compromise, common sense and fair play are the best assets of a participatory
democracy. Let us reject the
sniveling vitriolic, biased and basically stupid people who are power hungry
and love to hear themselves speak.
We have a watershed year next year. There is an election in November, which
is the time we must do what many thought unthinkable and impossible.
We must have
an electoral revolution if we are to save ourselves from disaster.
I urge all thinking people with at least one foot anchored
in reality to start looking for people now who can carry the banner of a new
party that wants to save America from the idiots. Talk to your neighbors. Talk to your friends.
Talk to anyone who will listen to reason and start formulating plans at
a local level to seek out people who want to compromise, who understand that
ALL citizens must participate and sacrifice. We must cut wasteful expenses and find ways to increase our
revenue by making everyone pay their fair share of the burden.
If you look at the field of potential people who currently hold
the reins of power, or think they have the capacity to intelligently govern, there
can only be despair in your
hearts.
Rise up Real Americans! Put on your thinking caps and actually think!
