Oh, the air is ripe with politics...like a stroll through a pig farm during a tropical heatwave. I can't help but be filled with hope; hope for change, hope for the future, and hope for someone else (Not You Donald) to enter the race to replace Barry. The echo from the left, that fateful cry, "We will provide, you deserve fair wages, 5 weeks of vacation per year, full pensions no matter how you mismanaged your finances..." and in return, we simply ask for 17 days of vacation in Hawaii for our Christm...uh...Holiday break. Sounds like a fair bargain, those who get the benefits of the progressives, aren't really the ones who pay into the system, or for the President's brood's vacation...so...sure, it's a deal. Marie Antoinette couldn't live within her means, why the hell should Michelle? In fact, Barry had to be delayed in order to make sure we don't have energy independence at the expense of his Environmental extremists votes, and of course, we need to reload the coffers or the gov't won't be able to fund the UN, the wars in the Middle East, more money to defunct and bankrupted solar energy and car companies...the list of important gov't functions is endless...no, seriously, endless.
"So is your plan any better?" you ask. And I answer...yup...but it'll sting a bit if you're one of the leaches on the teat of Uncle Sam. How about this little effort, now mind you, I'm spitballing here:
No vacation for the wife and kids of the president of the US if he's stuck in town, and you want to go play in Hawaii (or Asia, as Barry likes to call it), then you pay for it yourself...and fly Commercial. Go through the TSA molesta...er....patdowns. No Airforce 1, no military entourage...you aren't Vincent Chase, you're a damn home gardening, jumping jackass...now quit acting like a spoiled princess who just figured out daddy is too busy to bitch-slap you for being a prima-donna. Jesus, your kids are gonna end up feeling entitled to...oh...now I get it...it's just who you are. Sheesh, you aren't allowed to speak to my kids, if that's your idea of "shared sacrifice" in this economy.
Next, Congress...The House passes a budget, and the Senate won't take up a vote on it. House, go home...Senate...no more continuing resolutions. The gov't stops if you are too partisan to even allow a vote. A budget is the basis for fiscal responsibility, as any accountant knows, if you spend as you go, without budgeting, you end up spending EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, and more. A little discipline, Harry, I'm talking to you...leader. pshaw.
Now that we have everyone's attention, and a budget...let's do something outrageous. Let's READ, on primetime, the bill just passed that allows the President to detain a US Citizen without due process, indefinitely. I'm just curious how only 7 of the 100 members of the Senate voted against this after taking the oath of office which states, "I will defend the constitution..." really? Really? Too difficult to find a judge? Is having a lawyer present during interrogations too much to ask? How about this little diddy:
Democrats, please list in order of displeasure the Amendments to the Constitution that you don't agree with, and we will discuss how to get rid of them.
Republicans, please list in order of displeasure the Amendments to the Constitution that you don't agree with, then we will compare with the Democrats and then vote you out of office you hypocritical son's of bitches. How dare you take a position in gov't to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, and then conspire, cajole and manipulate the workings of the government to erode the very protections the document espouses. If ever there was a time for a mass revolution away from either party occupying Washington DC, it is now. If ever there was a time for a candidate who can articulate clearly what most Americans want to see, it is NOW. Instead of a divider and conqueror, we need someone willing to tell the Occupy W.S. crowd to shut the hell up, and go work...start a business, shave and shower and get a job...be willing to work hard for your own future. The government is out of the business of providing...instead we will protect your ability to provide for yourself. MY GOD, is there nobody willing to be honest with the people?
So, my plan is less of a plan, and more of a beckoning to our next great leader in the mold of Reagan, Jefferson, and all the other leaders who allowed America to be great, instead of using it's greatness to allow it's citizens to not have to be great. The republican field is just weak, and we just don't believe you when you say what you know we want to hear...but your record doesn't back it up. We don't need a US Religion, we don't need a US cheerleader, we need a damned leader willing to trade his second term for real and probably painful change...a weaning off the dried up teat of our old and crippled Uncle Sam. If you voted for McCain, Dole and are thinking of voting for "whomever is nominated", then you will see a resurgence of the Obama crowd next election, because you will still be fighting their war, with their rules. A game changer does just that. New rules...Everything for Everyone who earns it for himself...and nothing for people who sit back and wait for their lunch to be served...
PS, we won't let you eat OUR cake...go get a job.
