The T
George S. Patton Party
Their job is to protect our liberty...stay OUT of our way...and not RUN our lives. They think they know better than we do. THEY are wrong.But government has made your life better. You are too blind to see it and too ignorant to question the crap you are being fed.You know what scares the shit out of me about the OP? Is that he actually believes government can make our lives better.
Hell's bells on a good day they can't even fix the potholes in my highways let alone fix the economy.
But the OP and other like minded idiots and that's being kind actually believe that government can now fix the weather, fix the planet, fix global warming, fix climate change.
We are surrounded by morons who actually believe that fools like Harry Reid or Mitch McCionnell can work magic from Washington.
Do you buy food at the supermarket? Is it safe? A lot of food now comes in from Mexico and other places. How do you know it is safe?
Is your water safe? How do you know?
What about the air? Do you breathe? Who monitors the air and works to keep it safe to breathe? Do you think the power plants and other polluters would give a shit if they weren't forced to give a shit?
Ever fly somewhere? Is the plane in good repair? How do you know? Is the pilot well trained? Again, how do you know?
Do you worry about bombs or terrorists on the planes?
Do you realize control towers are monitoring your plane the entire time it is US air space? Yup, you're being watched.
The medicines you take, are they safe? Who makes sure there safe or effective? In the past they sold morphine and heroin over the counter like cough drops or candy bars. I wonder who stopped that?
Ever drive on the FEDERAL freeways? Who put them there?
Did you know that according to federal regs bus drivers and over the road truckers can only drive so many hours before they have to rest. There used to be a lot of crashes because bus and truck drivers drove long hours and fell asleep while driving. That doesn't happen much today.
Ever go to a National Park?
Did you ever see any footage about FEMA coming to the rescue of people who were overwhelmed by national disasters?
Did you know that in the past sick animals (called 'downers') in packinghouses were butchered and sold to the public regardless of whether they had TB, cancer, or some other disease. Doesn't happen today. We have federal inspection of all meat. They can't even put sawdust in the ground beef like the once did.
Do you get packages in the mail? How about letters?
Ever wonder why there have been no major flu outbreaks in the US in the last 90+ years or so? Back in 1917 a flu hit the world and the US so hard that in some cites in the US they had to bury the people in mass graves because they were dying so fast. World wide between 20 to 40 million people died from the flu. That was more than the number who died from the Black Plague or in WW1. Haven't had a big flu lately. I wonder why.
Do you listen to the weather reports?
Those are just some of the more obvious cases where the federal government steps it to make your life better. Perhaps you should open your eyes.
I pay them to do all of the above with my taxes as do others. It's their job. What's your point?
They aren't doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. We elect them. We employ them. I expect them to do their jobs.
Government isn't a gift from the heavens standing on a hilltop looking down on us poor peasants that they need to help and provide for.
For crying out loud they are elected servants of the people. Not the other way around where we should fall to our knees and be oh so grateful that they "look after us".
