I live in Colorado. Issues have become heated enough in my world , to the point that they are causing me actual physical discomfort. When a person,especially a politician opens their mouth and spews forth lies and propaganda, It insults and upsets me enough to want to do something that I know will alter my life. I take a breath and imagine what was going through the minds of the original Patriots and Revolutionaries that put evreything on the line many years ago. I ask myself if I have the courage to stand up to the tyranny that we are being subjected to. I answered,YES! I have despised bullies my entire life and I have personally made a bullies life, a miserable existence, more than once.

Obviously, whether it's because they think they can "fix" the elections illegally, or they just don't care if they lose (it's like Obama...is he really this inept, or is he a willful traitor?), the politicians, specifically mainly the Dems right now, don't seem to care what anyone thinks. Electoral losses are fazing them very much right now. Nothing seems to be derailing their mad grab for totalitarianism.

Not to say the liberals have not tried to enslave us with this far reaching scam on one of the largest parts of our economy for government to take over. Yet, the fat lady has not started into her singing act but my personal hunch is she's backstage waiting for curtain time. <br />Nevertheless Mike, you have danced around an underlying point that needs to be put in the open. When bad laws are passed and even idiots understand that such and such laws are wrong. Why is it that new members of both houses of congress never correct them? Never in my lifetime have I seen congress move in correcting bad laws or fixing them to serve the American people. My personal hunch in understanding this wrong in our system is to understand lawyers, which of whom most members of congress are, lawyers. If a person hires a lawyer in a civil suit and the lawyers blows it big time. The law is as such that, thats the clients bad luck but the client is stuck with the outcome regardless. So the lawyers in congress never fix the mistakes of past congresses because they see it as our tough luck in picking bad lawyers in the past. What a mess we have and its not going to get any better, which is a fear many have.AvgJoenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-14870732150582072692009-11-26T21:27:53.075-06:002009-11-26T21:27:53.075-06:00There ain't nothing more dumb than an academic...There ain't nothing more dumb than an academic who has lost touch with reality.Frederick H Watkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664534106273308144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-89461606634466850892009-11-26T16:08:52.090-06:002009-11-26T16:08:52.090-06:00I know a family practice physician who "runs ...I know a family practice physician who "runs barefoot".

I was a really lazy student growing up until I started the first of my three degrees but from what I know and have read, this current administration makes king George look like a a school yard punk. The first American Revolution was started over FAR less than what is going on now. Taxes? Anyone remember why this country went to war with the King? Do some math and compare those taxes to today. I have no doubt there are people in this country who have done the math and have decided enough is enough.

Which it will. But they "care" more, so much so that they will push until the consequences of that push become too overwhelmingly unpleasant to tolerate anymore.<br /><br />If those of us who see the monster cannot convince those we are closest to of his existence on an individual basis there is no hope to convince them in the collective when they have mutual support of other illogical people who need to feel superior because they "care more". Damn the death toll, either from them getting what they want or its unintended consequences.
