When a megalomaniac cult leader sees the world closing in and the adoration fading from the eyes of mesmerized followers he must punish them for their faithlessness. Folks, we're about to taste some grape Koolaid.

It is the President of The United States of America not the President of the political parties. It is infuriating that they continue to play the two party game and the people accept it! Shown is an attitude that the people are hardly recognized.<br /><br />It is insidious because it is naturally comfortable to expect a partisan govt to work in exclusion of the people. It is a vestigial remnant of the expectations of a functional govt. When any politician speaks they should directly address the people. The relationship is not to the 'other side' but to the people. The people have accepted this schism created by the very govt which is now to be expected to 'get things done'.

I am hoping someone here can help me. <br />I learned by conservative values at the foot of my grandfather. My grandfather was the son of a hardheaded Danish carpenter who learned the carpentry trade by starting work at the age of eight and eventually formed a small business building affordable homes for the ??...Generation.” My father and my uncles joined him in the business and, at the age of 12 I joined them as an apprentice during the summers. During our short lunch break I would listen to them talk politics among themselves and with the rest of their employees. These are the conservative values I learned.<br />1-Fiscal responsibility. Spend less than what you earn and save a little for a rainy day.<br />2- Self-reliance. Limited government interference in one’s personal responsibilities.<br />3-Limited government. The role of government should only be in areas beyond the abilities of individuals (e.g., highways, military, etc.)<br />4-Strict interpretation of the Constitution. Judges should interpret the constitution as the founders intended.<br />5-Limited involvement in foreign affairs. Defend the country vigorously when attacked; stay out of other people’s business otherwise.<br />My problem is that I can find few politicians who actually follow these principals. Many claim to, but few actually do. Democrats obviously do not, and most Republicans in Congress seem to be just as liberal. At present, we are governed (?!) by two kinds of liberals: D-liberals and R-liberals. D-liberals want the government to tell you what kind of gun you can own; R-liberals want the government to tell you what kind of person you can marry. D-liberals are tax-and-spend wastrels; R-liberals are borrow-and-spend scoundrels. Both R-liberals and D-liberals get us entangled in brush-fire wars where we are not wanted and can’t win. Both D-liberals and R-liberals are selective in the following the founders intentions, they just pick different ones.<br />In short, I am looking for true conservatives. Are there any out there?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
