Thoughts for today

Here you go: my usual comments and then a quote that I thought was perfect while the GOP-controlled Congress is spending money like a bunch of drunken sailors. Does it occur to these inexplicably elected but unaccountable fiscal malfeasants that, hey, somebody, someday, is going to have to pay for all of this government waste? Yes, the debtors will be our grandchildren, their grandchildren, and every generation for the rest of history. Our legislators are living with a de facto unaccountable status and the representative electoral system is completely out of control. Why? Two reasons: special interest groups are buying the elections, making it nearly impossible for anyone outside the political establishment to ever get elected, and secondly, because ignorant people who do not educate themselves to the issues before the elections are reelecting incompetent incumbents. That is where the blame lies for the common people: blissfully dim-witted ignorance and voting like mindless robots, incumbent, incumbent, incumbent. Think, people! The folks in Congress would be fired for their fiscal incompetence post haste in corporate America, on both sides of the aisle. The liberals are wackos who care only about their lust for power through socialist enabling of the welfare state, while the so-called conservatives do not represent conservativism whatsoever! With the exception of a few good people as yet untainted by greed and power-mad depravity, the members of Congress do not represent the mainstream interests of America. Period.

As for Judge Roberts, I hear many people saying he should not be confirmed because he hasn't elucidated his personal beliefs and how he would rule on various issues. Duh! The man is a philosophical conservative, but he also understands the law and he doesn't play games with constitutional duties. Judge Roberts may well be more qualified to be chief justice of the Supreme Court than any other person in the last hundred years, even his mentor, the late Justice Rehnquist. He is prohibited from stating how he would rule on issues, because he may have to rule on those same issues in the future. By answering the questions of these wackos like Ted "Hiccup" Kennedy, Diane Feinstein, and Chuck Schumer, he would be compromising the actions of the Supreme Court, and also his current judgeship in the circuit court system. He is not allowed to answer your questions about abortion and states rights. Get over it already!

The mainstream media, hypocrites, phonies, and brainwashing specialists that they are, make comments about Judge Roberts and women's rights, in an intellectually dishonest way of saying that he will overturn Roe vs. Wade. He has said plainly that it is settled legal precedent, for one. For two, a woman has the same reproductive rights as a man. She, or he, has a right to responsible sexual activity, and that is that. Any person, female OR male, who is out sleeping around, is playing Russian roulette with the odds. If a woman and a man are being reckless and negligent and a pregnancy results, well, there you go. That is the normal and expected biological result. The answer? Stop screwing around and start acting responsible. These big babies want to blame everyone else when their actions result in something they did not want. Your reproductive rights include regular medical examinations and the right to refuse to have sex. Period. Stop executing innocent children in the name of reproductive rights. By definition? Murder. Sue me if you don't like my honesty. It is the truth, and the truth can stand on its own, no matter who says it.

And finally, finally, a quote.... I love this. Decades of liberal buying votes through social experimentation, trumpeting nonexistent economic barriers, and systemic behavior modification, making people believe that they actually need government handouts (which is, money taken from one person and given to another person... unconstitutional by the way, but so is much of what Congress does. What's new?)

"Consider that black households that are headed by married couples have median incomes almost 90 percent that of white households headed by married couples. The problem in the black community is that far too few black households are headed by married couples. Black social reality in New Orleans at the moment when the floodwaters started pouring in was fairly typical of black inner-city social reality around the country. Upwards of 70 percent of the households were headed by single parents, mostly women. When I discuss social statistics with audiences around the country, I invariably hear gasps when I point out that the out-of-wedlock birthrate today among young white women (30 percent) is higher than it was among black women 50 years ago. There, of course, remain residuals of racism in America today, and it's news to a lot of whites that black families were relatively intact, headed by married couples, in the '40s and '50s. Today's out-of-wedlock black births and single-parent households are triple what they were then. The collapse of the black family took off when big government programs, particularly welfare, were launched, compliments of black and white liberals, after the civil-rights movement." --Star Parker

Not that it matters to the impact of that quote, but here is an ethnic qualifier for the 'Doubting Thomas' crowd: Star Parker is a mom and she is black. Here is some relevant information about her background.

Prior to her involvement in social activism, Star Parker was a single welfare mother in Los Angeles, California. After receiving Christ, Star returned to college, received a BS degree in marketing, and launched an urban Christian magazine. The 1992 Los Angeles riots destroyed her business, yet served as a springboard for her focus on faith-based and free market alternatives to empower the lives of the poor.

Star Parker went to college and worked herself out of welfare. She realized the government cannot guarantee you anything. Only hard work can change personal reality. The blame game does nothing but keep a pessimist stuck in their woes and unwilling to take responsibility for their own actions. She said it perfectly. The United States Congress is a mighty drug dealer, pushing their "what's in it for me?" entitlement mentality, a powerful drug. The result? A bunch of shiftless whiners who are only in it for what they can get for free, without work, or by looting their neighbors. This socialist mindset and agenda is a heartbreaking tragedy and one of the root causes of the disaster in New Orleans. If you disagree, congratulations. You have a right to dissent in America. It isn't perfect, but I love this place. A bad day in America is better than a good day elsewhere. If you hate America so bad, you have a choice. There is plenty of room in France, so hit the road, Jack.
