The Line is Drawn - Pick a Side!

I’ve been in blog hibernation for months. Every time I go to write, something comes up or I’m just too pissed off to write, and fear that it won’t come out the right way. So, without further ado, here we go…

Yesterday we had our mid-term elections. I’m pretty sure you know about it since all you’ve seen on TV for the last few months have been monkey’s slinging ish at each other on every other commercial. Not once did I hear anyone say what they were going to do; only what the other guy/gal wouldn’t do. Great way to get your message out.

I want to address two issues here, one being Obama and his HATERS, and one being the tea baggers. Yes, tea baggers, because that’s all they are, and all we’ll all be if these ridiculous idiots find their way into our national, state, or local governments.

Let’s start with them. The whole premise that we’ve been “taxed enough already” is stupid. No? It’s not? Okay, raise your hands if you don’t want to ever pay taxes again. Everybody have their hand up like me? Okay, now, take your hand down if when your house is burning, you want to call the fire department. For those with them still up, take your hand down if when your elderly mother’s house is being broken into, you want to call the cops. Take your hand down if you want the ambulance to come to that same house when your mother falls down the steps and nobody is there to help her. I see some of you still have them up (probably were raised by apes), so let’s try something else. If you have children and would like them to be taught in the public schools, read in the public libraries, play in public parks, visit national parks, and have sidewalks to walk on next to busy streets, please, put your hands down. Okay, so you don’t have kids. If you have a car and would like to have paved roads, working bridges that won’t fall down when you drive over them, streets plowed when we get 10 feet of snow in one winter, and pot holes fixed after the streets have thawed, put your hands down. Maybe you are a schizophrenic who is scared to ever leave your house. So, let’s just say that we are attacked on all four borders by four different countries. If you would like to have a military to protect us, put your hands DOWN! For those of you with your hands still up, go back to your cave.

The point is this, Taxes. Are. Necessary! Taxes pay for all of the local, state, and federal necessities that we require as citizens of this great nation. Instead of realizing this, we have the moose lady who can see Russia from her backyard endorsing a witch who claims time and time again to be a constitutional expert, but who doesn’t even know what the hell is in the 1st Amendment!!!!!!!!! Come on people! Wake up! These are the people that you want to run our country? After eight agonizing years of overspending, tax breaks for the richest of the rich (Reagan-omics has NEVER worked), a war that was unwarranted and crippled our economy, the biggest national disaster in the country’s history that went unnoticed until days later, and a damn near depression, and you want to go back to that??? Disgusting!

The thing I hear time and time again is, “Obama hasn’t done anything.” Hmmm, let’s see, well, how long has he been in office? Let’s put it in perspective. If you spend eight years running up credit card debt, relatively speaking to the tune of $100K (which is a lot for most of us, unless you’re used to getting a Bush tax break), how long would it take you to pay that off? Two years? Maybe if you win the lottery! Bush destroyed our nation behind the premise of fear. He taxed the hell out of the middle class so that the top 2% could live lavishly. He got us into a war that destroyed lives, and our economy. How long do you think it will take to fix that? And you people that sit here on your high horse and say that Obama hasn’t done anything? What did you expect him to do in 22 months? It takes YEARS to fix something like this! Clinton didn’t fix the first Bush’s mess in two years, it took him eight! BUT, when he left, he left with the highest approval rating of any President who ever left office before him. In five words, give the man a chance! He needs ALL of us to stop with the finger pointing and work TOGETHER to fix the mess that he was left. Yeah, I’m pointing fingers because the bottom line is that Obama didn’t cause this, and I’m pointing out that fact. I’m not sitting here on my hands doing nothing about it though! Somehow, he gets handed an economy that is in a near depression, and it’s his fault that he hasn’t fixed it. How soon we forget.

I haven’t spoken on the healthcare issue like everyone thought I was going to do a while back. So, here it is, France, by capita, smokes more, drinks more, exercises less, and lives longer than citizens of the United States. Socialism is not a bad word, and the bottom line is that the party who wants to be the party of God, does more things that go against God’s word than the party who apparently isn’t for God. Example: caring for your fellow man. The Republicans (and tea baggers) should just say that they are the party of power and money. They don’t care about what God has to say, or what is right, only themselves and to hell with everyone else. But, since they only care about their bottom dollar, check this out: a healthier America means everyone makes more money. That’s right! If emergency rooms aren’t writing off millions of dollars of bad debt because their patients have insurance, guess who doesn’t pay that bill? You and me!

Decide what you stand for, if it’s the party who ended a depression, got us out of a war that we should have never been in, and is fighting for equality for all, then you know who to support over the next two years – and forever more.  Get off your butt and start helping this country move in the right direction! If you stand for yourself and don’t care about anyone else and just want your billions (cause if you aren’t making billions, you aren’t supported either), then fight the establishment. If you say that you stand for Christ, then remember that Christ = Love. Not only love for yourself, but love for your fellow man. If that’s not you, and it’s only about you and your money stacks, then you’re just a tea bagger.

The debate can now commence, but if you know me, then you know that you will get my full force when we debate politics. Come strong or stay under your rock!
