It is plain to see if one reads accounts and watches television, as the politicians posture and take positions, they think the election of 2008 was the last election we will have any chance in effecting as a voting public. If we do not take this last opportunity to do the right thing in 2012 and nullify both major party's influence over our country's affairs we will have lost the fight against the negative energy that has taken over our country by way of it's government. The parties will have been highjacked by their various extreme elements and WE THE PEOPLE will be left out of the process from now on.
The parties use the media, especially the television prime time viewing hours, to bolster their position and divert our attention with some inane programming. Who cares whether or not something happens on a television series? It is not real life and it is amazing how many people in this country will get caught up in the storyline and follow it with every bit of their attention but they will pay no attention to what the politicians are doing to our country.
It is plain to see that if WE THE PEOPLE do not step up and take responsibility of our country we can kiss it goodbye as far as our influence is concerned after 2008.
We have this last chance in the elections to create a new government that is FOR THE PEOPLE and not against the people, BY THE PEOPLE not by these hypocrits that run the country now and FOR THE PEOPLE not for the special interest groups that resemble Forbes' Top 100 Corporations list.
Before I go on with this rant, I need to set the record straight.
I am not against making profit in a company and being successful within the community. That is what all entrepreneurs strive for.
I am against taking that profit and gaining power to effect legislation. That is wrong morally and ethically in my book. That is what Facism is based upon. The power of the money.
If I am polluting the air with my technology, I am responsible to clean it up ASAP. That is such a common sense statement that most who read it would laugh that anyone would have to say it. We all believe in personal responsibility but there are people that will take advantage of that position for their own benefit.
Those that should have cleaned up pollution when they detected it but let it accummulate because of their profit line should not only be held accountible for their lack of standards but also for their pollution clean up. If that puts them out of business then so be it. Another company, another entrepreneur will come immediately and put those people back to work. That is the way it is supposed to work but with so many special interest groups attached to the rule makers we have compromise in the market place where it should not be.
We are allowing compromise in health issues for our country in favor of profits and foreign policy. We are allowing compromise in our safety in favor of other interests. We are compromising our value in the world market. This country's technology and skills is being syphoned off by everyone else. We have the world sending their people to be educated in the best schools available, this country, and then going back to their country and using those skills to take jobs and industries away from our country.
In the meantime our "government" is trying to gain more and more control over us. They are so involved in that goal that they are not paying attention to the flow of value out of our country.
I read a prophecy more than 20 years ago that seemed rediculous to me then but much closer to reality today.
It stated that our country was going to lose it's position and influence in the world somehow. I thought at the time that it would take an awful big thing to happen. No way the US would lose their influence because we were such a strong and righteous country and the world looked at us for guidence.
Now look what has happened. Politics in this country is very bi-partisan when you look at the facts. Who is responsible for the situation that we find ourselves in as a country? Both parties. It is almost like the "good cop" vs "bad cop" scenerio where each party has agreed to be one or the other depending on who is in the majority seat. Forget the bias of each party affiliation and really look into the different associations and confederacies within Congress. They are not always at war with each other, quite the opposite. They are cooperating in their goal of becoming entrenched, sucking off of the federal teat. Once you become a house or senate member you qualify for the golden parachute set up by the past members of Congress.
Both parties are guilty of ineptness or was it on purpose?? Is the "New World Order" something to be taken seriously? Do the powers in charge of our country really believe that the US is the country to bring the New World Order to fruition?
In this prophecy, no longer were we the Super Power that could push the rest of the world around. We end up in a position of having to cooperate with the powers that emerge. At this time it looks like the power will be either China or China and others(Russia perhaps or maybe the Arab nations unite with Russia and China.) Anything is possible once we get to a point of insignificance in the world arena. That is when the Anti-Christ will show his or her face. They will become the world leader and have all of the answers to the world's problems and everyone will love this person for their leadership and their compassion.
Any way one cuts it, this country is losing it's position of authority in the world right now. We have no moral high ground for the war in Iraq. We are losing our will in Afghanistan and facing the melt down of the Middle East today.
We had the world with us when we invaded Afghanistan after the attack by Osama Bin Laden and his Saudi cohorts and we could have made a major success in the Middle East region as a result.
Instead Bush/Cheney - Cheney/Bush took us into Iraq.
Common Sense thinking has to question why did the timing have to occur the way it did?
The only answer that makes sense is the powers wanted the world to turn against us to allow some other entity to take over the leadership of the world. There was no other way it could occur. We were successful at first in Afghanistan and would have been heralded as heroes if we would have finished the job. There was a reason to keep that from happening and we don't know what that reason was...yet.
Why has this happened?
Because WE THE PEOPLE have abdicated our power to the politicians in Washington, DC and in our own front yards. Our city councils, county commisions and other local political theatre is being played out by these phoney political hacks and we allow it. Why? Is it because we have so much other things to worry about that we can't be involved? What is it that causes us not to take responsibility of our government?
Do you know who your local politician is? The one that is setting milage rates for property taxes? School taxes are being paid by the younger of our generations while the elderly become a burden on society because of our political hacks that have been in charge in the past few years. Back when our parents and their parents were in charge it changed and the crooks were allowed to get involved in setting the agenda and passing the laws. Now those crooks run every government in this country. Every county commission, every city council, it seems as though the only ones that volunteer for these jobs are the "hacks".
All of the laws governing the "everyday joe" of our country are made by these individuals. We can no longer sue our doctors if they do something avoidable to us because they have the insurance and law on their side thanks to the latest legislation passed and signed into law.
We can no longer solve our financial problems the same way as before when we were allowed to soften the blow by going through bankruptcy. Bankruptcy was never allowed to be something that it has been labeled in the recent past. Bankruptcy was the last resort before going completely broke and homeless. It saved many people from being on the street by limiting the amount of their actual worth that could be taken and distributed to debtors.
Now an individual does not have the same opportunity thanks mostly to the legislation passed unanamously by Congress from 2000 til now. Our ability to claim bankruptcy has been severely limited and when we do have to solve our financial problems such as the ones discussed, we have to go through so much more than before to solve the problem it is almost impossible for the everyday person to do but corporations can still do it as easy as before the new laws.
More "professionals" are taking their fees as they become involved. That is what most legislation passed in the last decade does, allowing attorneys, doctors, and others to get more money and slowly depleting the funds from the middle class.
Now is the time, the election of 2012, for THE PEOPLE to take our country back from the crooks. Vote them down and out!!
We can do it. But we have to be ready for one hell of a fight. The political parties are very strong. They have so much money at their disposal.
Can you imagine what we as a nation could have accomplished with the billions of dollars being spent on this election and on the war in Iraq? We could take the money spent on commercials on television alone and feed all of the starving people in this country for several months.
We need someone to take over the helm of our country that can lead us to success in the future. We do not have to be this Super Power to have influence. We can have some of the best technology in the world and no one will try and take over our country. We have to be strong but not overpowering.
We need to understand that the media is in this for the money. The media does not care whether you are Republican or Democrat. They will cause controversy in order to have it on their network. There is no telling where they will go with this type of approach to controlling the information you receive.
There is bias in the media but it cuts both ways. We just need to get more involved and more vigilant to protect our liberties and freedoms for the future generations.
