| Too many people believe that our moral values are the responsibility of our federal government. Don’t any of you remember the horrors of Prohibition? The banning of alcohol merely allowed a criminal cartel of bootlegging to grow into a massive mess of government interference. The underground criminals went from alcohol and are now into drugs. We allowed the government to develop a terrible power source where all Americans were being observed and watched for illegal actions.
This was step one into a final assault on American choices and habits. Abortions were next on the list and when the majority of states declared abortions illegal it started a bloodbath of illegal procedures from coast to coast.
Politically, America was drawn into the Second World War, Korea and finally Vietnam. This caused a terrible fear among all of us who felt that our days were numbered and our futures totally unsure. Among millions of Americans the fear was so great that it didn’t matter if we became pregnant or how we handled the possibility. America was a mess emotionally and nobody gave a damn about anything. Culturally our kids fell apart and with future goals in question, they did whatever they wanted regardless of the results.
Seems as if these reckless young adults raised their kids in the same way. Even with the breakout of AIDs and a list of new sexually transmitted diseases, it was a totally open sexual revolution. The Bible belt looked to the Federal Government to do something to stop the number of abortions being done since Roe v Wade was made into law. Every time the feds get involved, there is an element of corruption that goes completely out of control.
What would it take in the American mind to handle ones own social cultural problems without “BIG DADDY” having the last word? It is now so out of control that the majority of the GOP has joined up as the “Conservatives” determined to give the Federal Government the authority to issue laws on all Americans on how to live their own lives. The final step in this assault was Bush’s desire to be the final decision maker on when people should die.
Thank you Conservatives, you have treated American individual choices like chopped liver. In my correspondence with many of you, it seems as if you are ill-equipped to make your own decisions. You look at other Americans as somehow inferior as they want their choices left, either to their own family decisions or at best given to the individual states. What the hell is wrong with you? Did you learn nothing from your years in school, or at the family gatherings that discussed your choices? Did your churches issue laws that were so weak, they never took within your own brains?
I will fight this federal take over of our personal lives with every ounce of my energy. I will never turn over a single decision to a bunch of corrupt hypocrites who have turned their backs on their own constituents for the power of the government.
Compare them with the LP? Hell, the LP has no clue what the Amendments to the Constitution have to say. They have chosen criminal leaders who are always tap dancing on the lip of being arrested for all kinds of problems.
We have little left in the way of ethical legislation. The problem is not with the labels issued to any elected official but the lack of moral ethics that they represent. Believing that a Conservative Christian representative is 2 cents better than the most liberal house member needs to take a look at how both of these men/women voted.
Do any of you know what it is you want from your elected officials? I know the Conservatives want abortions prohibited and they will live with anything that comes along. We are in the front row seats of a tremendous wave of corrupt exposure. Abramoff will sing like a bird to save his own ass from a life sentence. He will expose our House and Senate members into those who he bought off and those who refused his money. Before you all get into a nervous breakdown, please learn that lobbying is legal.
LOBBYING IS LEGAL! But buying an elected official is not! It will be up to us, the voters, to research the actions of our own House Members. The Federal Government might expose those who were paid to pass a bill, sign on to another bill or issue expensive federal contracts to a particular state. These are illegal! I will tell you right now, that Bush will do everything in his power to protect his Conservative Congress. Somehow the exposure of these people will be considered a danger to American security.
I’ve been on this forum a while and have seen the call to help from the federal government demanded on just about every problem discussed. For every law you demand to protect you from your fears, you will lose your rights on other actions.
I cannot find a single political party in America today that isn’t up to its ass in federal laws. Everybody wants laws to control others (never themselves) and our government will be a perfect police state in the next 10 years. |
