A
blog post spawned by a response to a
previous posting
about the comparison of deficiet spending between the two-party rule
43rd Presidency and the fledgling one-party rule 44th Presidency ...
Dennis Shay says:
Ed, great summary.
but you're using the wrong venue. Your dire warning is mostly falling on deaf ears, here in the
Red Room.

Thanks for your concern but if one more mind hears, then we all get a little less hurt.
You know, it isn't Left Vs Right ... Democrat Vs Republican anymore!
The political fight in this country is really between those who are aligned with
Total Government - TG (Totalitarianism, Communism, Fascism, Dictatorship) and
No Government - NG
(Anarchy). Sadly, both Democrats and Republicans are way to the left of
what would be a center point between these two extremes.
The
Constitution of the United States, for example, structures a Government
that is way closer to Anarchy than the center point between Total
Government and No Government.

This is simply an illustration of how far our country has drifted away from its core values found in the Constitution.
It really is about all of us treating each and every individual, as we find them, with personal freedom and respect.
If you question the logic of this proposal, then all one needs to do is ask ---
"Is
this a country by the people, for the people (as it says in the
constitution) when the largest spending bill in the history of the
nation is put to a vote, through a forced compressed time procedure,
before anyone (legislator or citizen) has enough time to actually read
the legislation?"
"Is
this a country by the people, for the people when the legislators are
considering a law that forces the elimination of a secret vote in the
work place?" - what is next, laws to abolish any secret vote anywhere there are powerful forces that want to force their will on others?
What
is happening in this country is that the Constitution is under assault
and people's personal freedoms are not given any value by the people
who are elected to protect them ... as guaranteed by the Constitution
(this nation's founding and forming document).
