Since I have been told that I "enjoy the hate" when referring to our political leaders, I have decided that I might as well start and join an appropriate club.
If getting angry with a person who lies to me constitutes me being a "hater"; so be it! I know it's okay to feel anger; it's my aggressive behavior that's the problem. Of course, I have exhibited no aggressive behavior since I'm only able to vent my anger by writing. Unless writing is a behavior, then I'm gonna burn.
I do take comfort in knowing I'm not alone in my feelings...
'There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.'
Proverbs 6:16-19
Tonight, the President will share his vision of healthcare reform; his third speech this week, and it’s Wednesday. Unfortunately, his vision, as noble and exalted as it may be, is only a mirage that will disappear and create higher unemployment and worse healthcare.
I expect the most emotional, charismatic appeal to Americans to date. I expect meaningful words fabricated for Americans who are ignorant about what’s put down on paper and how it will actually be managed.
Why are the keywords used so deceitful? As my buddy Sharky pointed out about the term “public option”, “You change the word public to government, and you will lose more than half that number [of supporters]. … This is the GOVERNMENT PLAN -- not an option. ”
The greatest crisis in this country today is unemployment! Why does he not focus his energies on our economy instead of these tax and spend programs. Do people not see his policies are crippling our economy? How long before liberals admit that maybe this President was a mistake?
Once again, I will listen to his empty promises, which many call “mistakes” or “miscalculations” made by his staff, not by the Congressional Budget Office. I will watch as he “gets in the face” of Americans and shoves this down America’s throat; eloquently of course.
It’s about the money, not the welfare of Americans. It’s always about the money and/or control. The same money and control that caused England to over-tax our tea and the south to succeed to save slavery.
I continue to ask: Why would Americans want to turn their healthcare over to a GROUP OF CRIMINALS? If you haven’t noticed, the majority of our federal government are under a shadow of misconduct.
But go ahead, cheer them on; support them! You condemn your children and parents as well as mine!
But, I could be wrong,

Isn’t it wonderful to live in a country that grants workers a national holiday for their labor? Especially when its unemployment rate is realistically 16%? I sometimes wonder if our government want Americans to become dependent on a government check?
What better way to buy a man’s vote than to make him dependent on federal funds on a regular basis; whether it be a paycheck, welfare, social security, unemployment, disability, food stamps or any other subsidy or social program. If my income were derived from the government, I would vote for the guy who would give me the most money. I would also politic against anyone who wanted to cut my funding.
If 9% of Americans are drawing unemployment, they will vote for just about any politician who would extend or increase their check. I know I would. I think the same can be said about most other recipients of a government subsidy, and I can’t blame them either.
When the government grows, so do loyal constituents of whatever person, group or entity responsible for their income. These are votes purchased by the taxpayer. The greater percentage of people who receive government benefits, the greater number of people who want more government funding. You don’t have to work for ACORN or Americorps to actively push for certain political candidates.
When 50% of Americans draw a government check or subsidy, nanny state politicians will dominate the government machine. This holds true on local, county and state politics, as well as on the national level.
Sadly, our children are spoiled. Hard work and sacrifice are not the path of today’s youth. Many grew up in an entitlement atmosphere; from which there is no easy escape. When mommy and daddy stop paying the bills, they look somewhere else; why not the government?
I would love to live in a Utopian society where my wants and needs were provided at no cost. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to never have to work for a living? Unfortunately, I have only heard of one place like that, and it’s not here on earth. Since none actually exists, I prefer to work for the benefit of me, my family and my country; not for the benefit of a neighbor with little or no work ethic.
I don’t know about you, but I do not want to have to depend on any government for food, clothing and shelter. I believe that those who work hard to better their standard of living shouldn’t be responsible for those people who chose not to make the same effort. The US Constitution guarantees the right to pursue happiness. It doesn’t say the government will provide it, or a better standard of living for that matter.
Liberals seem to blame poverty on the lack of education, but I don’t know anyone living in America, legally or illegally, who aren’t given the opportunity to a good education. What a person chooses to do with their life is their business, but don’t penalize hard working, tax paying Americans because others make poor choices and do not contribute to their own success.
There are great arguments for helping the poor, but I believe being poor is a choice, not a condition. For most Americans, their standard of living is based on hard work, sacrifice, setting goals, living below one’s means. Those Americans seem to be fewer and fewer as the entitlement sector grows.
I know a lot of people who want a job and don’t have a job; but I don’t know many people who want to work that haven’t found work!
God bless the American worker,
Denney Crane
