"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

They just like to point fingers along the way. I swear, congress is like an elementary playground. "She hit me", "Well he started it", "Did not", "Did too", "No I didn't", "Yes you did, you looked at me funny". Sounds familiar, doesn't it. |

Sadly, over the past few years, every time I try to give the government the benefit of "no way they'd let that happen", it does. It breaks my heart to see my country being flushed down the toilet. What I'd like to see if we go off the cliff, is peaceful protests and the determination to vote out of office every member of Congress. It won't happen though because people don't give a damn. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 30665644 United States 12/27/2012 01:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is surprising to me that many people do not see the subterfuge going on in the Democratic Party, they feel if they keep repeating something over and over again people will start to believe it. Well..it seems to have worked, which is in itself surprising to me since i always felt the American people had more sense, i was sadly mistaken. One of the main problems with the Senate at the moment is Harry Reid. This party loving old geezer is taking our country hostage by only passing what he deems necessary and shelving all the rest of the ideas mainly because most of the ideas being submitted were made by Republicans, his arch enemies it seems. To watch the man when he comes to the floor to speak in the Senate, is just appalling. Most often the first sentence will always have to do with how he just can't understand the Republicans and how they are just ruining our country or something to that degree. Then he starts the finger pointing and repeating all the old lies about the other side while always managing to leave out how their party has been sitting on their laurels for the past six years or so and do absolutely nothing for our country, they cannot even pass a budget..or do not even care to. To this man it all comes down to party, he is fighting a war of words and wits aimed directly at the Republican Party not caring a bit about what is actually going on with our country it all comes down to hate for the other party for him. He is literally holding the Senate hostage for his own selfish hatreds..bills are not being passed..business as usual is not being taken care of because of one person and that is Harry Reid himself. If the man wants to do something great for this country he should resign immediately and let someone who can do the job without partisan or personal leanings take the office that he was given. The political repercussions of his inability to lead are becoming quite apparent. Instead of doing his job and passing or failing bills that our nation needs to keep moving he would rather sit back and blame the other party about everything under the sun ..make it look like everything since the dawn of time has been the Republicans fault and let the media think that the reason we may go over the "Fiscal Cliff" is all the other parties fault, when in reality it is nobodies fault except the majority leaders in the Senate..Mr. Harry Reid..an outdated dinosaur with a bad disposition. Reid claims that the Republicans will not work with them ..that is a lie..he refuses every suggestion..every offer..every bill passed by them...and then openly mocks them by laughing in their faces..he wants us to go over the cliff...it makes their job easier ..to turn America into a third world country .. Its all just a big game to them..they are all puppets ..some with more power than others..their goal is the redistribution of all of America's wealth to the rest of the world..at all costs..and their puppet master is George Soros..you don't believe me? Obama was handpicked to be President many many years ago because of his skin color and oratory skills...divide and conquer..the new world order brought to you by the United Nations via George Soros is at your service.. All hail to the Great Destroyer! and God Help us. |
