I want to be civil ... Awe nuts! The heck I do! I called my senator’s office this morning, and as usual had to converse with some pimple-faced wet-behind-the-ears staffer, who thought he could pull the wool over my eyes ... I read him the riot act! Listed several pieces of legislation on which Senator Mike Johanns has voted contrary to the wishes of his conservative base:

1.) The “Affordable” Health Care Act

2.) The 800 BILLION DOLLAR Farm Bill (80 percent being food stamps - and the remaining 20 percent being government-subsidized price guarantees

3.) The National Defense Authorization Act, which allows indefinite detainment w/o trial of American citizens, for “suspicion” - not even probable cause - of an “intent” (not even actionable) to commit “terrorist acts” ... a very dangerous standard, considering the “memo” the DHS put out a few years ago - a memo that defines what may constitute who is likely predisposed to commit a terrorist act: basically any American who “clings” to traditional Christian values and defends the Constitution!

3.) START II Treaty, which gave Russia a tactical advantage on nuclear weapons

4.) Defunding of NSA’s wholesale domestic spying activities

5.) The Food “Safety” Bill - which has nothing to do with safe food and everything to do with government control of agriculture, animal husbandry and keeping of seed stock - plausibly affecting such control all the way down to the typical backyard vegetable garden.

And probably several other legislative acts that I cannot recall at the moment!

Senator Deb Fischer’s office was complete evasive - all her staffer would say was that she was against Obamacare, but the staffer would not tell me how my junior senator was going to vote on the CR cloture measure!

If I were any madder, I could chew nails and spit staples into their butts! ARRRRRRGGGGGUH!!!!

OK, do I feel a little better? No, not really!
