xBullx -> Hello Michelle, I too am disappointed... (9/26/2009 8:08:05 AM)

I can't remember ever being so disappointed in the American (US) "Citizen". This week was filled with a record number of "WTF's", at least for me. Ok, I admit it, I flip around the radio dial while in my truck and normally end up on POTUS, CNN or Fox (I really like Neil Cavuto, he looks like Eddie Munster), I have Sirius/XM so I do have a broad range of entertainment choices.
But lately I've been listening more carefully to what I see as the emerging story behind each of the individual dramatic episodes. Last night I was home for a change, it was a late supper and “the noise maker” Hannity was on the tube, and no he is not my typical brain food. But all the same he was interviewing a couple females that were demonstrating in Pittsburgh at the G20 facade. These girls seemed dreadfully mislead and dare I say, ignorant as to what they were saying. For fuck sake do these people really believe that any experiment with any type of official Governmental redistribution of wealth will work? Well besides the illegally established tax system we surrendered to and already have in place.
Come on folks the power of the people is in their freedom/liberty, not in their Government!!! The French revolution wasn’t about wealth redistribution; it was supposedly about the right of the individual… and in that the ability to establish his own wealth. Well actually it was about how so many could be influenced by a few, but all the same I think the cry was for libertAy and not for more government control.
But a system where private top end salaries are limited and the reason to work hard to achieve greatness is regulated do they really believe that this will inspire a better tomorrow?
So here's my political query.
Is America truly as eager as it appears to surrender her liberties completely? I mean, we have sacrificed power to the Fed since Washington made the Jay Treaty with the British shortly into his Presidency, but it seems that an extremely vocal minority are making a push to reinvent the Russian revolt of the 19th century, and I assure that not all the intent is good. The behind the scene instigators seemed to have vilified anyone that attempts to excel and generate a sizeable income for themselves. "Hate the Capitalists (were Jews capitalists in the late 19th and early 20th century Austria?)"!!!!!!!! WTF…
I don’t know, it seems the "slaves" are having a revolt… And they want a new master, the problem is they have never thought for themselves and it appears they have no intention of starting now.
The new Patrick Henry quote, “Give me the illusion of a government program, lotsa free shit, and take care of my unmotivated ass or give me, uhmm, uhmm…..oh hell I don’t know what I want, no one has dictated further thought.
I love the argument that my father was a factory worker and my mother waited tables to raise a family of 6 kids, they never had the nice things. These girls last night asked why anyone needs more than 500,000 thousand dollars a year. First, these hypothetical parents of 6 most likely had to get married, shotgun wedding and all. Then they had to struggle due to the lack of education and the willingness to settle for their own perceived fate. Of course dad could have went to night school and worked to be an exec or mom could have became the first Sara Palin, by being fed up with the local leadership and run for school board(and so on), but as is the case in 90 percent of the examples I have mentioned, they were busy changing diapers and having beers at the local pub. More times than not these parents were busting their ass with the hope of making a better life for the 6 spoiled brats that now hope to surrender the freedoms they take for granted. I assure you that the people fostering the great idea of the nanny state have the intention of being the nanny or are so dense that they forgot the more times than not Matilda’s (1996 movie) nanny is a Trunchbull and not Mrs. Doubtfire(a different movie altogether).
Be careful what you wish for, the next great dictator is ringing his hands, smirking and just patiently waiting his turn, and I promise you he’s out there.
Listen up folks America isn’t perfect, but it still provides the best opportunities out there. Take that away and I assure you the some brand of hate will, in time own us all. While I don’t mind some government regulations to maintain fair business practices; establish some degree of public safety; create, improve and maintain infrastructure, as well as serve for the common defense. I do mind the government being my keeper; the fact is that Uncle Sam will never be a good keeper for us all; he’s too opinionated and overbearing. He needs to remain a poster board character and not a master of us all.
