Let's go swimmin'!
Same old Social Con issues?No offense wings but instead of whining about the system and changing your political affiliation in a snit why not consider joining the tea party and actively try to get the best conservative candidates while working within the system? Too extreme or too lazy?
Because the fucking Tea Party went from Being about Fiscal Conservatism, to the same old Social Con Issues. Let the social Cons have the Tea Party I say, even though the name fits us Fiscal Conservative Constitutionalists better. I just wish they would go. I am tired of losing elections because of Idiots on the Far right and their Social Issues.
Such as refusing to hold a boot to the neck of senior citizens who paid their dues during careers in which they worked their fingers to the bone to provide a decent living and a roof over the head of their children when they were called to?
You can use government to squish people to death if you wish. Or you can try and find a middle ground.
When Ronald Reagan was confronted with tent cities of homeless people who were unemployable and had no place to go, he got two choices from the American people: fix it or hit the road, Jack. Reagan fixed it.
Washington is where people come together and work on problems for mutual solutions.
Berlin is where people came together for a quick answer in the thirties after WWI Allies bore down on them harshly. Hitler responded by taking the possessions of Jewish Germans, putting them on trains, and turning them over to his Muslim-influenced SS for a quick end and no return policy to his utopia for Nazis.
When Tea Party congresscritters got to Washington, they were given two choices--help out or stand in the corner until the next election when they'd go home to no support from anybody.
That's the basic difference between the founder's system and one corrupted by too much federal power placed into too few hands that don't hear the people on the street, try quick solutions to complex problems that are better served over the negotiations table.
Some people come from the negotiations table and leave saying "Well, everybody gets what nobody wants."
That's the conundrum of having a one-man-one-vote society. You get your vote. You don't get to vote for someone else.
Or do some?
It's so sad to grow up shoulder to shoulder with other people.
But you do adapt.
