Let’s Pull Their Feeding Tubes



Say what? Yes, let’s pull their feeding tube. Allow me to introduce to you, “their”. The fine folks who take up air and space in DC, and are known as members of the house and senate, and various other shady jobs and titles...that my friends, is “their”, of which I write.

Many of these shysters have been sucking up to the government teat for way too long. We’re not getting representation...we’re getting reprehension. We the people, should rise above these thugs and demand term limits. Two and out. All those who have served beyond that, as of the next election, well, update your resume!

The next big thing would be the lobbyists. As we have seen for many years, on both sides of the political spectrum, our most beloved elected are not working for the people, or the country. They’re working for that next election, and taking money from lobbyists, who in turn, begin to fatten them up for the next election before the present election is even held. These folks are party and special interests players. Look at the budget. Does this say they are taking care of our country? Look at the debt. Look at the borders. Look at unemployment. Just look around, period.

The thing that gets me is this. How many billions of dollars have we handed out in the last 4 years or so? I grow tired of hearing about “Faith Based Initiatives”, and how they should be the ones to feed the hungry, clothe the unclothed, and etc. Fine. But hey, wouldn’t that work in Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa, and every place else around the globe? How about letting these countries’ “faith based people” take care of their own mess, and we keep our money here, and not prop up all those religions of peace. Heh. Indeed.

My own state’s representatives have been discussing a bill that would allow illegals who have worked here for a certain number of years, attended school here, to be allowed to be the same tuition at our universities as the residents pay. Come on, this is thuggery. The same term limits should apply for states as well. And we would reap the same results.

These people who represent the USA remind me of child actors. You know, little kids who begin to play “grown up”. Remember those days. Unfortunately, that is what we are getting. Not too much of a return on our investment, if you ask me.
These leaders pretend they are all knowing and all important, but ask one of them the price of a tube of toothpaste and it’ll be “I’ll get back to you on that”.

People, it’s time we all got together and made a few demands. Of course they won’t listen. Who expects them to? We can all get together at the ballot box, come ‘06 and again in ‘08. Our motto should be “Results - Not Excuses”. Worked for my 7th grade teacher. Should work for the rest of them. Tell you what...dedicate 1 portion of a day...at least 3-4 hours, and listen to “both sides” politically. Whether it’s TV or radio, or streaming off the net. Just take the time to listen. Then, think about what I’ve written here, and make a decision.
