Money and Politics- Satire -

Money and Politics -  A Satire -

because if I were to lay bare the gravity of the offenses it would resonate throughout the Cosmos to crack the vaults of heaven- so grievous are the sins of wealth in our time....;)

ha! I waxed eloquent...;)

Money, the Republicans say the tortured legalisms that allow unfettered spending by imitation public welfare groups like Hushed Limbaugh and CrossRoads, and Alec  which intends to rewrite our Constitution one life-killing morsel at a time have not affected Democracy.  Well if not, it has certainly put the CRAZY back in to Democracy.  Democrazy is the Republican Brand that wants us to burn fossil fuels until we die-off like every other dominant species with the difference being- we had a choice. Oil and water don't mix and fracking will leave us with less water to drink and grow crops.

Money has transformed Democracy into a battle for survival for the political majority.  Ignorance has reduced the capacity of our people to govern. Now, they cannot find truth in the deluge of messages, and often vote against their interests. Such as

electing any Republican to office who then attempts to prevent voters from voting- in a Democracy these people should be shunned:

electing leaders who openly sell out to interest groups_ the No tax pledge is a conflict of interest, we elect them to use their best judgment for our benefit, not to swear allegiance to a No-Tax God;

Electing people who are bound to Conservative principles- which are non-existent until someone makes them up on the spot, and btw  the word "no" is not an effective way to govern when the people ask for the word "yes"

Has money transformed US Politics-- is the Pope Catholic-

Has money destroyed the Democratic Process in the US- sadly, yes, and there is little doubt. We can have a debate on needs and priorities and no one suggests abolishing Derivatives Trading- this is the food stamp./welfare. never fear for money again for the wealthy-- sucks investment capital out of the economy

Can we have another year where one House of the Congress makes war on the US economy  - yes,  and it will continue until Democracy bares its teeth, and reminds the wealthy there are more poor and needy than rich...

I am convinced that the poor are in pain now, no longer willing to sit idle while we need jobs and so many things to make the country grow. I think this election cycle in 2014 will either be a revelation or a prelude to deeper change akin to revolution-- It is pain after all that makes the animal learn- to the human animal, a world filled with pain is a patient and thorough teacher.

Ted and the Shutdown Clowns

I imagine they had paid employees in the crowds, back when the TP Congressmen were campaigning on the promise to shut down the US goverment. Yes, that was the goal all along, Obamacare and shutdown.  The government spends money on things they do not like, so it must be shut down.
In the hours before they pulled their stunt, Ted Cruz vecame their leader, more like the Pied Piper lesading the rats out to drown in the river.  Ted was not going to take responsibility.

Ted could be the nominee next Presidential Election, Democrats are so hopeful it comes true- He would not win Texas-- not now that he has been exposed as a Dimwit leader a bunch of DimmerWits
They say he was a brilliant scholar- most brilliant scholars that I have encountered were really good at kissing some Professorial Ass- I mean a few were genuine intellects, but school is pretend, most of the time it does not interpret to the real world.  Cruz has devolved to the lowest common denominator in Texas- a complete hypocrite, whereas most politicians are Reformed Hypicrites( as Mark Twain used to say of himself).

The low point reached by Ted and the Shutdown Clowns is a denial of responsibility and a breach of the trust between Government and the People.  One swears a duty to uphold the laws when elected to high office and one swears a duty to the Constitution. It can mean many things but it certainly means you will not try to destroy the Government, or attempt to overthrow a duly elected President-- yes, we have noted 6 yrs now of Impeachment threats- ( I actually heard the first before Obama was sworn in) this is when the Clowns became Fools, now they have risen up to the level of Clown, because all that was missing from that pathetic showing were  big shoes, funny noses and noise makers.

I say these things now because soon they will have a chance to redo their Clown routine, that unless we stop Healthcare and put our economy into Recession by again slashing spending they will default the nation and ruin the economy right now.  They give us little choice, it is either die by gunshot or starvation- either way they intend to mortally wound the Nation.  In their petty minds the idea is to wound the Democrats, to wound the fat government-- but you cannot be that precise when your weapon is a poison pill.
 
And the Clown show will go on- them in front of crowds cheering to shut it down.  Little people can die from things like this, from the stress of no unemployment check, no food aid, from the loss of critical medical care-- and you know, there are still soldiers dying for freedom in Afghanistan.

It has become clear with the Tea Party...it is a case of them or U.S.-- both seem unlikely to prosper together. The hard part is this: if the evil is spending and we must shortchange today's families needing jobs and economic growth to save our future generations-- why would anyone believe they wont say the same crap to them-- you cannot have space based jobs because it would indebt the generations of the farther future--Maybe its time to talk about abolishing derivatives trading-- too much productive capital making money exchanging paper, it damages the economy and causes concentration of wealth, now that would make the conversation more interesting to everyone.
