BACON BITS: Pachyderms, asses, and tea baggers. 03/25/2010

I can honestly say that I am truly fed up with all political parties in this country. You have the democrats on the left who refuse to listen to the concerns of those who don’t fit in their preferred ideology simply going about the enacting of policy’s that would in the presidents own words “fundamental change“our nation regardless of the real world effects. You see I don’t base what I believe on by the Congressional Budget Office it’s on what affects me on the home front the real world standard. It’s on my wallet, it’s in how my parents are going to be affected by the taking a half a trillion dollars out of Medicare and what kind of treatment will they get. It’s when my nieces and my nephew are grown up what will be left behind for them massive debt from our current spending, an America in which the educational system that instead of pushing for better student performances and achievements instead dumbs down the standard for the purpose to get more cash from the federal and state governments. Or are we going to have an environment in which we have the progressive ideology becoming the new religion of the United States. An America in which everyone will be too big to fail and the government will be the holly provider. Where no longer we hold reverence for god but for our planet, what a joke. This country was founded upon the individual not the social group.

All I have seen is that we have no self control when it comes to spending in this country. Our government is willing to let no one fail for a price, when Rom Emanual said “never let a crisis go unwasted “I guess he really meant it. And when it comes to what I feel what’s the most important issue and that is jobs you would think that you would be a little more particular to where the money goes. Giving money to pointless construction projects is not a wise investment. Funding pointless studies at universities doesn’t create long term employment for anybody. And giving money to communities to fund projects that they should be funding on their own is also a waste. The point is you don’t waste precious funds on pointless endeavors; you put the funds in the hands of the proven job makers. Why not create the incentive for the business community to give one more person a job in their business. The facts are you could of given 2.57 million people in this country one year salary of $60,000 and that would have been better spent then what has been chosen already.

Now to the Republican Party this isn’t the party of old, this is the party that became more like the democrats on spending. You say that you represented fiscal conservative mentality when they spent more than any republican congress spent in the past. When I bring up how much spending Obama has done I always get “most of this is bush’s fault” line all the time. My answer to that is yes bush did, when he chose to start the practice of suspending the free market system to protect the free market system you get what’s going on now. The republicans also claimed that they were the party of small government but they empowered it more than ever before. The passing of the Patriot act after nine eleven is still stepping on the freedoms of this country even if against terrorists. And one of the main things that bugged the hell out of me the housing bubble/crisis. When the answer was to let Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac go under and enter into bankruptcy what was the republicans answer the first of many bailouts. When the fed was giving out billions in cheap money what was the republican answer, to let the fed continue to do so. When the fed turned a blind eye to the effects of lending money to high risk individuals their answer was to let it continue on. You have to remember the economic hardships that we face today started back under Bush and the republican’s. It was the head of the New York fed who didn’t see this coming the tax cheat and now treasury secretary Timothy Geitner. In short the party failed, it failed its founding principals and beliefs, and it became more about the conservative progressive agenda. When the democrats labeled the republicans as the party of no they deserved it, it is their ineptitude which makes them less relevant to those they represent.

It’s in the lack luster performance of the republicans you now have outside political groups such as the nine twelve project, and the tea party movement. The issue I have with the tea party movement is that conduct of members during the healthcare legislation marathon you have reports of representatives getting spit on, the throwing of rocks, and use of vulgarity. Violence is never the answer it only adds to the image that the far left wants to portray of the tea party movement. Your vote is your mightiest weapon. The first thing to do is become educated, know where we started from know and understand the constitution, bill of rights, and the other documents which our founders created to guide this nation. Secondly know what’s going on in Washington and the legislation that’s being passed there, find out how it will affect us as a nation and as individuals. It’s about finding the truly worthy candidates to run and who truly represent you and your beliefs. That’s how you change this country to the better. It was apathy that got this country this way it will be due diligence that will return us to our right track. Sizzle on America
