One of the things that has always bothered me the most about DC is the railing against each other by day and then going out for a drink together in the evening.
How can you really believe in something for hours during the day and then put those strong beliefs away in the evening? I have had a few try to explain this to me and condescendingly at that, that this is politics and Im just some dumb skirt, pat me on the head and Ill go to my sewing.
Here's how and why. President Bush is aware of it and leads a rational class act from the top down.
Issue 101 -- Chaos House of Cards How is it that people and society in general have prospered and increased their well being for decades yet the politicians and bureaucrats say we must have another 3,000 laws and regulations each year on top of the 100,000+ laws already on the books... That without them people and society face "disaster". People and society have done quite well without next year's 3,000 new federal laws and regulations. Why all of a sudden can people and society not continue to do quite well without them? The fact is, they'd be better off without 99% of them. So who really benefits from 3,000 new laws and regulations each year? -- not to mention state laws and regulations. Politicians and bureaucrats. They create boogieman problems and with a complicit media towing their boogieman problems cast a net of false fear and unwarranted despair in people. Quite literally, they create problems where none exist. They're sick in that they chose to frighten people and foist false despair on them and do that to collect their unearned paychecks. Their job security is predicated on deceiving as many people as possible. It cost more than just two trillion dollars a year to fund government abuse. That abuse hinders people's development, especially children being indoctrinated rather than educated, harms the economy and is largely responsible for causing false booms and reality-adjusting bust cycles in markets. Flushing that money down the toilet -- save for military defense spending -- would be better for individuals, their families and society. That's a different way of saying, can't we just pay congress to stay home and not leave their houses. Surely we'd be better off. Politicians and bureaucrats are sick and need your help. Fully integrated honesty is key. That we have the government we have -- delivered by both Democrats and Republicans -- that has gone so far off course from the government the founders created, is a product of irrationality and dishonesty. Changing the laws via the system is almost completely useless. Politicians create dozens of unconstitutional laws before even considering repealing just one unconstitutional law. That is not a system -- it's a quagmire of deception, irrationality, fraud and abuse. Politics is not the solution -- politics is the problem. Who are the parasites? Step one for helping politicians and bureaucrats: Step two: Demand that they address Issue 101. Do the same with the media. Step three: Ostracize government officials that fail to honestly address Issue 101. Do the same with the media. Step four: Champion science and business communities -- often under relentless attack by the government. For they create jobs, necessities, luxuries and ever greater advancements that support human life, family and society -- natural order. |

Their job security is predicated on making it appear that they are solving problems. Since they can't or don't dare touch on the root cause of 99% of the problems it demonstrates that they don't really believe their jobs are to actually solve real problems. Whether either side of the aisle or individual is right or wrong on any given issue is mostly inconsequential.
The plain fact is, at the root of the problem, with a very few exceptions, they're all wrong.

The New-era Trend and
How Much Does Character Count?
Remember one Sunday at church when I was a very small girl fidgeting and bored until the cowboy from Montana got up to the pulpit to give his talk.
He was tall and dark, wore a bolo tie, cowboy boots and talked with the classic western drawl apologizing that he wasn't good with words.
He pulled out a deck of cards and proceeded to do some real fancy card tricks (don't think that didn't get everybody's attention). And then told the "Cowboy's Deck of Cards."

He ended with saying a few words that have stayed with me my whole life:
"My momma didn't have much learnin', but she was a good woman and taught us good. She said son, you'll only go through your whole life with two people: yourself and God. So be good to them both."
After all these years, I have never forgotten those words of truth.

President Bush is indeed a cowboy.
You are correct. He laughed and scratched with the best of them last year but of course this year is different. We are still fighting a war and it is a somber time for all.
I am bereft of words.
Don't we all. God never made a perfect human being. So, since all humans are imperfect, every last one of us "stumbles into potholes from time to time."
Clinton and dignity just don't go together.
I was thinking of hitting the "abuse" button on that too, joe--but it wasn't in the same sentence and x42 wasn't capitalized. So I guess Cicero gets a pass. Barely.
