How is that we Americans must abide by some level of constraint but our politicians continue to gorge themselves on a bunch of new spending? That's right. Spending.
The most fundamental reason for this? We've transferred too many of our liberties to the larger, and I would say darker, forces in our society. That's right, Darth, the dark side. And no, it's not a race thing.
We've outsourced. Don't you get it? We don't know how to handle our own damn selves and so we just turn over the reins. Give it up. That which is so precious and, it seems, so limited in quantity - our supposedly inalienable freedoms, our God-given liberties - gone.
Deftly, and by and large with our consent, these tokens of providence were taken from us. We voted them away through our own elected officials and by sitting in front of the damn TV, doling out dollars to the mighty marketer. Republicans and Democrats alike are to blame. Amazing. It's not a culture war. It's not a drug war. It's not a war on terror. It's a war on you and me. That, my friends, is the leviathan of the day. We're in play to be played and we're just as happy as squid for it. Right? Fat (really fat...the scale this morning...not good), dumb, and happy.
Don't take it. Oh, and turn off the TV. I've now stepped off my soapbox.
As always, be thankful for what you have, buy only what you need, and work diligently for peace. Call your representative or senator today and urge him or her to introduce and support legislation backing term limits.
