Behind Closed Doors

As
our nutcase lawmakers, (what a joke) labor behind closed doors to hash out what
they plan to dish out to the American public via the so-called “healthcare
reform legislation” it should be evident to anyone with at least a pea-sized
brain that these folks do not work for us!
But the sad truth is that it probably isn’t – evident I mean.
Meanwhile,
we are cajoling ourselves into a sense of satisfaction that they will get
what’s coming to them in the November election. No they won’t!
What
they deserve is the same obscurity that they would shove down our throats when
it comes to battling for individual rights.
You’re going to try and tell me that if Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid were
to suddenly need an ingrown toenail removed, they might have to wait in line
for the procedure without the mainstream media going bonkers over the injustice
of it all? Moreover, you’re going to
try and tell me that the medical insurance that would pay for a more serious,
(even life-saving) treatment of said legislators would do so because they have
faithfully paid for said coverage with their own hard-earned dollars?
Folks,
wizen up here. They haven’t done any
labor, produced any goods or services, or earned any financial rewards for
efforts in so long they probably wouldn’t know how to. If they make any premium payments for health
insurance, they do so with the ill-gotten gains known as American taxpayer
dollars. Like any other government
worker, they owe their entire financial support to YOU – the taxpayer – for
which you get absolutely NOTHING in return but their continued incompetent
legislative bullying.
I
don’t care right now that I may be lumping a few good apples in the same barrel
with all the bad ones. That is beside
the point because obviously the good ones are not winning. Many of the previously “good” ones have
already been corrupted in that big bad barrel known as Washington politics.
And
let’s not stop there. Far too many of
the electorate have been corrupted with the knowledge that they can vote
themselves largesse from government coffers, and thus end up on the government
dole known as “cradle to grave” non-existent “rights” to anything they want or
need. All they need do is keep the
aforementioned legislative power mongers in power over the rest of us.
This
portion of the electorate doesn’t recognize freedom - how you get it or keep it
- nor do they accept evil as the common denominator in humanity that it really
is. They worship power and they excoriate
industrious individual productivity. So
it is far from a “given” that the November election will have an adverse effect
on the power mongers.
Behind
closed doors, our fate will be determined.
Secrecy rules as government drools at the thought of capturing even more
power and ever more worshipping masses to mock those of us who know that if
those doors were opened we would surely discover that the tyrants have no
clothes!
They
admire themselves as well-dressed, benevolent, hard-working dignitaries because
that is what they see reflected in the eyes of an ignorant electorate. In reality, though, they are naked
socialist, communist propagandists – far removed from their historical
benefactors.
Unless
the November election becomes a battering ram on those closed doors, we can
expect only business as usual from the corrupt offices of legislature.
I
admire any efforts that are directed at educating the ignorant electorate
before it is too late. I hoped for it
in 2008. We see what “too late” now
means in that one. What will we see
this time next year?
Some
in Congress have called for very admirable sounding legislation, (several even
referred to as the 28th Amendment) such as term limits, (finally)
making congress actually read bills before they vote on them, (what a concept)
and forcing congressional representatives into the same kind of healthcare that
normal citizens will be saddled with, (good luck on that one!) While I mention such efforts now and then
and even applaud them, I am not naïve enough to think that they think any of this common sense legislation will get passed
anytime soon. Some of them may indeed
honestly and earnestly pursue such efforts for us, but not to the extent that
they so infuriate the bad apples, if you know what I mean. They still see their main job as winning the
next election until they decide that they are tired of the rat race, (pun
intended) or their party decides that they are an unacceptable burden on the
party agenda.
Education
of the electorate that I mentioned before must include getting people to look
beneath the surface of the political façade of anyone before awarding their
vote. That’s very hard work when you
consider that we are dealing with people who spend so much of their time behind
closed doors.
It
takes an almost child-like honesty to be willing to say publicly that, “the
emperor has no clothes!”
