Premier Barry
Those of us with knowledge of the historical underpinnings and basic
tenets fought for in the struggle for independence from King George,
long ago, came to the aggregate conclusion that a new struggle for
separation from an out of control, autocratic oligarchy, hell bent on
transforming a representative republic into a central planning
politburo.
The American experiment began when fifty-six patriots, “from diverse
backgrounds” affixed their John Hancock’s to a de facto pink-slip
edifying the king that royalty need not apply. Those founders held
strong inclinations and fidelity to such novel ideas as freedom, self
governance, liberty, religious expression, personal determination and
public elections of representatives instead of a strict adherence of
the biological lottery of Deoxyribonucleic acid. {DNA} They
apperceived this concept so resolutely and indomitably that they
pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor in this
endeavor.
Perhaps the best apperceive, “or evidence” of their resolute intent
was the 25,000 stalwart souls who sacrificed the essence of life so
that birth might be given to a nation. Those men along with their
peers were responsible for authoring a constitution that we
conservatives not only consider sacrosanct but divinely inspired were
the earners of the bequeathing to we , the people of a nation upon
which God shed his grace. With that inheritance obliged the recipients
to covet those ideals and aspirations whose recompense was blood and
personal sacrifice by the patriarchs of this nation.
Yet; we inherited more than an obligatory reverence to those founders.
For; with that endowment, that blessing of being given the keys to the
greatest nation on this planet also imbued a great responsibility.
This encumbrance I fear has been has been largely ignored and averted.
The American demographic seemingly invests more time and energy into
deciding who will be the next American idol than in accepting the
responsibilities that conjoin with the rights we enjoy. Even though;
the lack of due diligence by the electorate charged with protecting
those God given rights has, “for the most part” abrogated their,
“watchdog” moiety apportionment for a ringside seat as a spectator.
To wit; we gather every two to four years to consummate an election
wherein those candidates who seemingly represent our ideals, views and
core values would ascend to power; a power constitutionally given by
the consent of the governed.
Though; nano-seconds after these orators of slight of hand swear an
oath to protect and defend the constitution of these United States
they most often fall prey to the bureaucracy they railed against when
seeking our votes. They become enamored with the private jets, the
P.A.C. money that is the life blood of Washington. They decorate their
offices with ornate bobbles they see as eclectic and becoming of their
status. They hire their staff using the formula of either the widest
bathroom stance or that virginal smile which belies a willingness to
meet any deadline or position.
They assume the character of self importance. They become full of
themselves. They plan their day around camera face time on any network
that might spell their name correctly and exalt any opinion they might
proffer.
Most importantly; from the day they are sworn in; they are running for
re-election. Humorously; to us commoners’, every time a congressman of
any stripe peers into a mirror…he sees a president.
Though; enough of semantics…what we now abide isn’t much less than the
dilemma pondered by our founders in assessing the dynamics of King
George’s rule. Our politicians are above the law and beyond reproach.
They consider themselves royalty, the chosen ones. For instance; were
law and order the fare of the day, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Charlie
Rangel…ET. Al… would be making little ones out of big ones while
wearing striped shirts and repeating the phrase, “I got my mind
right”.
And…for you lunatic leftists; I would postulate this…all of the
political class has adulterated their responsibilities. They work for
us! Yet; attempt to contact them with a differing point of view than
theirs and you’ll talk to a Tony Soprano type that will make you an
offer that you can’t refuse.
Maybe it’s just me but lifetime politicians, with their own private
jets, staffs that measure into the hundreds, lobbyists paying for
extravagant vacations, millions of dollars in campaign contributions
from the very entities they regulate, salaries and health benefits
that are genuinely gold plated, paid for by we the people, a lifetime
retirement package after only one term of service, a continual passing
of legislation that they are exempt from., Elliot Spitzer girls paid
for by, “we, the taxpayer” unless you are Barney Frank, legislation
that punishes success, mortgaging our children’s future by either
printing money or borrowing it from China, Failing to balance a budget
while creating laws that would imprison us for the same behavior. And…
for generally exhibiting the political behavior that would cause
Thomas Jefferson to demand satisfaction at the point of a gun for
these two faced, spineless jackals’ who claim to work in the public
interest. I put forth this; let’s hang em’ all. And…if we don’t, we
then will receive what we deserve and will sully the inheritance left
to us by men of more character than we have abiding within us in the
collective. .
