How would you answer this question?

Are you a conservative or a liberal? Okay, lets stick to one philosophical area. Are you a fiscal conservative or a fiscal liberal? To find out, choose a multiple-choice answer to the following: The United States Congress passed a budget for this year that includes a total of $3,700,000,000 of spending. Do you say this is:

A) Geez, Hoss, that is a lot of money.
B) That is enough money for me to gamble at casinos every day for years.
C) We can give a free house to every person in New Orleans who didn’t evacuate, and give them free healthcare with that much money.
D) That is a frightening, horrific amount of government, dude.

If you answered (A), you are likely under 25 and do not have a mortgage or children yet. If you answered (B), you may be a liberal but you actually have a job and no government benefits. If your answer was (C), you are definitely a liberal. And, if you answered (D), you are one of the mainstream conservatives who are terrified by the government bureaucracy that is destroying the economic future of America. That annual budget is so much that the budget deficits and the national debt, will never, ever be repaid. Not in my lifetime, not in yours, not in my great-grandchildren’s grandchildren’s lifetime. It will not be repaid. Ever. The nations holding the notes the United States owes will not wait forever to be repaid. Can you say “bankruptcy on a national scale” and the end of freedom as we know it?

By the way, the annual budget of 3.7 trillion dollars, if that money actually wasn’t just IOUs, would, if made of one dollar bills stacked in a pile, stretch to the moon and back more than two times. That is, a pile of one dollar bills in a pile standing over 717 thousand miles tall! That is also a budget for one fiscal year. If that doesn’t scare the shit out of any taxpaying American, what will?

These elitist morons in Congress really need to be taken down a notch or three. What can a person do? For starters, as Americans, we can throw the bums out and stop voting for incumbents. The problem is that there are only a statistical handful of people who stay informed enough to actually know the issues and what the incumbent self-anointed gods of power stand for. Most people these days have forgotten that these spendthrift idiots, both Republicans and Democrats, work for us. We do not work for them! That tax money belongs to the people. A little accountability would be nice, but then again, the economic future of this country is already on very thin ice... and I hear the cracks forming now.

The civil rights movement and the Republican Party

Did you know that the Republican Party was created to end slavery?

Did you know that major legal reforms and acts of legislation passed to give black Americans the vote, and full civil rights, equal to whites, were created and passed by Republican legislators?

Did you know that most of the legislators who raucously and fanatically railed against the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 were… southern DEMOCRATS, also lovingly referred to as Dixiecrats at that time?

Did you know that every black American elected to Congress immediately after the Civil War was a Republican?

Did you know that Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., was a social and political conservative who wanted Blacks to succeed fairly, based on merit and hard work?

Did you know that President Eisenhower, a Republican president, signed into law some of the 20th century's most important civil rights reforms?

Did you know that most black Americans up until the 1960s were Republicans?

What does all of this mean? Does it mean that the mainstream media are a bunch of sanctimonious, prejudicially predisposed con artists and liars perhaps? Hell yes.

Why do you suppose that Black Americans today are not usually given this information about their own history?

Why? In large part to protect a 'civil rights' establishment that is beholden to the Democratic Party and that is committed to keeping black Americans on the liberal 'plantation.'

Who is working to set these people free from insolvency and economic subjugation? It isn’t a system of quotas, it isn’t the de facto reverse discrimination proffered by extremists like the so-called reverends, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, whose power-mad extortion is dividing this nation along racial lines, and it sure as hell isn’t the Democrat party. Now, you do the math.
