Our Society Compared To Marriage

I was just thinking about how our government is acting or reacting to the people pushing back on a lot of the bills and such that are being introduced lately. I have come to the realization that the government vs. the people, as is going on right now strongly resemble the husband vs. the wife in a marital tiff.

Imagine this scenario; One spouse, at the end of the day throws off their cloths and tosses them into a pile on the floor. Not even attempting to make it into the hamper. The next morning the other, thinking nothing of it, just picks them up and puts them into the hamper. The next day, the same thing. Years go by and this is really starting to wear on the one picking up after the other. Since the cleaner never mentions this (out loud) to the tosser, it just continues to slide by as accetable. Finally, the cleaner has had enough and says "hey, you have to stop throwing your cloths on the ground!". Caught off guard and now a little peeved by the scolding, the tosser ignores the cleaner. This continues until an all out argument ensues. Now even more upset at the cleaner for changing the rules out of the blue, the tosser now decides to not only throw their cloths on the ground but now spread them around the room, just because. More head to head battles break out and other issues begin to pop up. One leaves dirty dishes laying around, one leaves the seat up, now someone drank the last of the milk and the other didn't replace the toilet paper roll. And now...divorce. It didn't have to come to that. What started out as a minor problem that could have been prevented by communication at the beginning escalated to the point of no return. This issue is not one or the others fault, but the fault of both sides. If the cleaner had said something sooner instead of letting it go until there was a blow up, they could have made it work. Then again had the tosser realized that all it would take is a little effort on their part to understand what the cleaner was asking for, they could have made it work.

Now if you go back and insert "the government" in place of "the tosser" and "the people" in place of "the cleaner"; change the cloths, toilet seat, and dishes for health care reform, climate change, and immigration, you have a marriage of a larger scale...on the verge of divorce!

This has gone on for to many years. The people sitting by silent while the government runs the show. Now that the people are speaking up, the government is getting pissed off and throwing their cloths around the room. One of two things is about to happen. either the government is going to start listening to the people and start working things out...or we are getting a divorce!

A true Conservitive

This day In 2008, Barack Obama, a Democratic U.S. senator from Illinois, was elected president of the United States. With that said...This day In 1980, Republican Ronald Reagan was elected the 40th U.S. president in a landslide victory over incumbent Jimmy Carter.

If ever there was a reason to bitch about an "inherited" anything, try standing in Ronald Reagan's shoes on January 1st 1981. Jimmie Carter put the hurt on this country like no one had ever seen before. Granted Herbert Hoover made his mark, but we are still suffering from Carters run in the office. But, did Reagan bitch, whine and complain about how horrible things were and that "Carter left me with a big ole mess to clean up"? Hell No! He pulled up his boot straps and got to it...work that is. Not flying around the world whining to other countries that America has been bad and I am sorry you had to deal with that. Not acting like a child pitching hissy fits when he doesn't get his way. Not spending his entire first year creating new problems instead of going heads up what "he inherited". [interesting note; it took 200 years to get the National debt where it was when Obama "inherited" it. It took him five months to double it.]

They say everything comes around full circle. I truly hope that is the case. That being so, we are in store for a rough three more years of Barrack Obama and his horrible idea of what America should be and who it should be for. If today's elections around the country are any indication, we are at least on our way in the right direction. In the 2010 elections we will see a lot more conservatives filling the congressional seats that have, for too long, been occupied by greedy and corrupt ingrates, both democrat and Republican alike. And by 2012, the stage will be set to take our country back from the thugs that have stolen it from us. I say they stole it, but in actuality it is kind of like the pie cooling in the window. We took our fresh out of the oven liberty and sat it in the window to cool. And because we trusted our neighbors, (government) we took our eyes off of it to go about our daily chores and they took it from us.

I truly hope that 2012 brings us "A True Conservative" to take the Presidency back for the people. Be it Sara Palin, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, or whoever steps up between now and then. We need someone with the same heart and soul that Ronald Reagan ran this country with...I want my pie back!

although it will never happen, it is still nice to think about

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?

"My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.

Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.
This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.

Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short . The United Kingdom , Spain , Bulgaria , Australia , and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war.

THEN EVERY YEAR THERE AFTER It'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hell holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption. Need help with a famine ? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France . In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China.

I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France , Germany , and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bonne chance, mezamies.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York!

A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change.

Mexico is also on List 2. Its president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra thousand tanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put 'em? Yep, border security.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.

We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska- which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, 'darn tootin.'

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate homelessness in America . To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank you guys. We owe you and we won't forget.

To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic! God bless America . Thank you and good night."
