Softness or Something Worse

Well I have always believed in standing and fighting for something you want or believe in. That is why in '96 I was a huge Pat Buchanan supporter especially when he vowed to fight until hell froze over and then fight on the ice. Today Pat is no longer a real fighting conservative just a figurehead conservative on MSNBC, he has given up the fight. It was then in '96 I learned not to trust anyone in power or the shadows of power, to not put these people on pedestals high above the rest of us. They will always fail you in the end. That is going on today with the left; they are angry Obama has not kept his left wing agenda while people like me are angry he has gone too far left. Who is right and who is wrong does not matter at this moment, it never does, it will matter in the future though. Who will pay for his Anti-American agenda, his anti-business policies is not our concern because we should focus on stopping everything that comes down the democrat pike. If it can be stopped now the future will be saved. Tip O'Neill always made it public that Ronald Reagan's budget was always DOA when it arrived on Capitol Hill. If there are any true fighting Americans left in Congress Obama budgets from now on should not even get out of the West Wing before it is declared dead.

Now we are a country who has a non-holiday day devoted to love. Valentine's Day where you buy your sweetie chocolates in heart shaped box and flowers and cards with loving poems and sayings in them. If you are lucky enough to have have someone who you love why do you need one day to show it. It should be all year everyday to show and/or prove that love. But we in this country need an incentive to love or to show love that can make us feel special, how freakin sorry is that? We as a society are not strong enough to show love to the one we love. Sorry, yes, but even more than that it merely shows how we feel about everything that is or once was important to us.

Why is it that now all of a sudden this year that Congressmen and senators are retiring to pursue other interests? What do they know that we do not? Is it that they do not want to get blamed for the impending doom this budget foretells? Why is it that they no longer care to fight for the things that were once the reasons for them to enter into the political arena. Are they just covering their asses here or is it even a worse cowardice than that? Are they just afraid that the ideals that have led them down this path of their political lives are not worth a hill of dried shit and instead of coming out and saying that they have been wrong their whole lives they choose to "not seek re-election." It is funny how they came to realize they did want to run again now after Obama's first year. Don't get me wrong I am all for everyone in Congress to get the fuck out and get real jobs but understand that does not happen in the real world. These fuckers become lobbyists and continue with the political influence peddling only now they bribe and cheat and won't lose their jobs. Yes, I understand that some of them are ready to retire the social security age being 65 and all. Something here does not smell right. There is something going on, a force somewhere that is pushing some of these guys to get out. Are the times changing in Congress to where we are going back to what the framers of the constitution wanted in the "citizen politician" or are these rats jumping ship only to be followed by the same rats in different fur? Are the American people, you and I tough enough to stand and fight or will we also wilt with softness or something worse? We shall see.
