Wow! I feel like I am trapped in one really bad, low budget action movie. The last 3 months have just been unreal.
Sneaky and just unwise political action. (Not Surprising just irritating)
Complete lies from everyone from the President of the United States all the way down.
Senators holding Town Hall meetings to hear from the people and then shutting them down because of "special interest groups insighting hostile remarks".
The President of the United States and Elected Officials calling the American People who oppose their plan to take our money, our healthcare and our elderly loved ones and friends. Nazi's. (Uncalled for! as far as I am concerned that word should not be used and is as offensive and disrespectful as using the other N word, and for such a well educated man to stoop to name calling is just unbelievable. The University should revoke his degree)
Calling for a boycot of Whole Foods because they spoke out against the healthcare plan and have brought some alternatives to the Presidents plan (Which neither him, his family or any of Congress will fall under).
Taxes are being increased ever so quitely. North Carolina sales tax just went up and entire 1% which makes our taxes unreal. Early this year we had the whole Easley scandal and the New jet order, which the state canceled and just forfeited thousands of dollars in deposit money. Now Gov. Perdue and 7 officials are traveling to China for 2 weeks to recruit businesses to come to North Carolina and create new jobs. Completely a waste of $80,000 dollars that could be put into companies already here, to expand and add new jobs, or a really no brainer, that money could be used to rehire the teachers and school administrators and other state employees that were laid off or not given their jobs back this year. Families have been split because the jobs are not here in North Carolina. We have 6 families that we know well that are missing a family member (Mother or Father) because their job is not here in the state.
Healthcare reform debate has gone way off track and is wasting valuable time and money. The statistics are inaccurate and misleading. The first action is to look at those without health insurance that need it, covering people that do not use the doctor or are not going to follow the directions and take the medicine or do the exercises is silly. Some people do not believe in health care and do not use Eastern medicine. To fix a problem you need to understand the whole issue and not just start changing things and through money and committees into the middle and hoping it is going to fix the situation. We do not need implementation, management and execution to come from Washington DC, we need it to come from the community, write up the plan, explain the checks and balances and budget needs and a the only thing we need from Washington is the money they are holding to give back anyway and for the existing offices to do their jobs.
Jon and Kate plus eight, look at me hour. ?Why are they being paid so much money to tape their lives and show us how a "Real" family successful raises 8 children? Ummmm what is real about their lives? Who has that much help? How do they pay their bills? Isn't it amazing their family has not had to do to the doctors, work through an illness, deal with another family members illness? When do they get groceries? Clean the house (oh, yeah she has a cleaning person). When do they teach the kids anything, haven't heard much talk in that house about anything related to God, character development, manners yet hundreds of church get her to come talk about how she and Jon are raising 8 children in a christian home. HMMMM! Now that they are getting a divorce, they are no different than many families in America, why should they be paid all this money to highlight a sector of life that is not the goal or aspiration of that many people it is rather a situation that happens. Why aren't more people supporting and begging for the Duggars to do a show, they have done 60 minutes and other talk shows, she just had her 18th child and they have grown children that are successful and still closely involved with the younger siblings now that is more of a reality show or should be more reality. Many families live like this and aspire to be more like the Duggars than Kate and Jon.
We the People have given our power to these elected officials and companies to provide us with services and products we are not receiving. They have given us promises and provided us untrue information and although many don't like we grumble amoungst ourselves but do nothing to really protest the misuse of our trust and money and breach of contract.
We the People need to unite and take back control of our lives, our resources and our stewardship of gifts and talents. Why do we keep working for companies and the government that are not fullfilling their commitments, they are not modeling the character and ethics we swear to everyday and that our children recite in school. Why are we supporting stores and companies that are not supporting the local and American economy. They have to supply what is demanded, so if We the People take action and start demanding local and American made things, Local and American workers will have jobs. If we demand truth, quality, diligence and intregity in our government, corporations, businesses and community organization they will begin to provided it or loose our business.
The Golden Rule needs to be revived, and Character and Ethics need to come out of the classroom and textbooks and enter into daily lives. And when things are not done according to the rules of civilized business and ethical behaviors are not practiced then a boycot or banning of the individuals needs to be demanded.
We the People have a voice, We have Knowledge and Skills we need to use them to rebuild our communities, states and government but it is going to take more than just a few people shouting in a meeting hall, it is going to take commitment and sacrafice and hardwork but if we want to remain the "Land of the Free" we better start making some steps up the mountain of stupidity and corruption and stake our claim.
A song we used to sing as kids "I want this mountain, I want this mountain, for you and me" God will move mountains, sometimes other times he gives us the strength to climb over them, we need to start climbing. "Put one foot in front of the other and soon you will be climbing up the side".
