Jim M.,
“Politics sure is ugly.”
True. True.
To paraphrase simple honesty, “Ugly is as ugly does.” Of course, these days
we would have to argue about what “is” is.
The ugliness (and greatest threat to our Republic) is the ugly politicians. Our
government is controlled by “self-servants” rather than “public servants”.
Politicians “deal” power faster than a Las Vegas Blackjack dealer deals cards -
and with much less honesty!
Clinton promises to veto a good bill unless Congress passes a bad bill that is
good for Bill.
Congressman “A” will support Congressman “B’s” bill “X” only if “B” supports
“A’s” pork-barrel bill “Y”.
Y? You know why! Our legislative, executive, and judicial branches are too
involved with power plays to follow their own advice to “sacrifice” and “put
America first”. To say that we are ruled by an oligarchy of self-serving,
power-coveting, liars is to disgrace the common liar.
Words needed to accurately describe our Judas-like leaders are prohibited on
TFL. The lineage of these Judas-like characters could not even be found in
the records of the American Kennel Association because the AKC does not
document such questionable ancestry.
To avoid the Mulberry Bush, I will say only that you could throw a lot of
chickens into Congress before you hit an honest and true American. And
even then it probably would be someone in the “Visitors” Section.
The members of our governments (<--- plural) have united against us in a
self-serving race to achieve power, benefits, money, and (gag) prestige.
The further from the people an agency is, the further from the people’s
concerns the agency will be.
- The power of the county governments has been usurped by the state
governments.
- The power of the state governments has been usurped by the federal
government.
- The power of the federal government is in the process of being transferred
to the United Nations.
The term “all politics is local” is a nasty, naive joke. Only the repercussions
are local. Subordinate governments can increase the severity of higher
governments but their real job has become the enforcement of the will of the
higher government.
We are being persecuted and prosecuted by an increasingly number of
government laws, directives, rules, updates, agencies, bureaus, and courts.
And from what I see of America and Americans, it will only get worse. We
are not permitting the downfall of our republic, we are facilitating it.
Unless and until I can see proof of a legislator or group of legislators restoring
freedom instead of increasing limitation upon our personal lives, I won’t
support a single one of them. Sadly, such signs are few and far between.
yet we continue to support those who will enslave our descendants.
May our children and grandchildren forgive us.
I will continue my support of the NRA, GOA, SAF, JPFO, LEAA, CCKRBA,
DRGA, and others who fight FOR my Rights rather than against them.
