Serious
discussion (and action) about rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure
So,
on the jackass side, we’ve got pretty limited choices. Oh, there are 92
candidates right now, but to even think you’re going to be a true hopeful, you’re
going to have to raise more money than Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden. Bernie
Sanders is running on the jackass ticket, and has some damn good points, but it’s
just unlikely that he can challenge Hillary and win. Hillary Clinton has a net
worth of 22 million, but she and Bill’s combined net worth is close to 80
million.
On
the Fat Rich Elephant side, we’ve got roughly 135 candidates as of today, and
of course to be a real candidate in the Grand Old Party, you’ve got to have
some pretty big piles of Grand Old Dead Presidents. Donald Trump has a net
worth of 4 billion. Jeb Bush has a net worth of 22 million. You’d automatically
assume that Don is the Trump card in this race, which he can be if he keeps his
mouth at bay and runs a tight ship.
Jeb
has the backing of the Bush family, which means political funding and support
from every angle you can imagine.
Now
there are many other parties, Libertarian, Green Party, Bubba Party, and
whogivesafuck parties on the list, but the fact is, nobody in these parties can
get enough electoral votes (which are gained by throwing a lot of money at the candidate)
to even think of becoming serious nominees.
So
back to our topic. Are any of these men/women going to deal with the real
issues that most Americans are pissed off about? I’m going to name my issues,
and give you my answers. Maybe you’ll want me to run for President.
Item
number one:
I
can’t find a single person, other than a politician, who doesn’t agree that we
need term limits for Senators and Representatives.
Some
of these people have been in those chairs for 30 or sometimes 40 years.
Some
real examples? Bob Dole was in Congress for 35 years.
Chuck
Schumer has been in Congress for 35 years.
Ted
Kennedy was in Congress for 46 years. The list goes on and on.
There’s
no way we’re going to ever usher in an era of better thinking when we keep the
same old dead weight in that big rotunda.
Item
Number Two:
Crimes
against the American people unanswered.
I
can write a 20 page essay on this shit.
So
I’ll keep it brief. I’m just going to place the name(s), then the crime they
are charged with by me, a tax paying American citizen in a Democracy.
Hillary
Clinton: Benghazi
Dick
Cheney: Halliburton
George
Bush Jr.: Grand Perjury
Dick
Cheney: Grand Perjury
Bush/Cheney
Administration: Grand Perjury
Bush/Cheney:
War Crimes and the illegal invasion of two countries
These
are just a few. We all know these people are scum sucking liars that got away
with murder. Why the fuck are they still free people?
Item
Number Three:
The
anniversary of one of the greatest atrocities ever committed and covered up by
a government will soon be upon us. Everyone will talk about it for a day; then
it will be forgotten for another year.
The
problem is: truthful answers have NEVER been given about how these events occurred,
why the investigations were covered up, and why hundreds of people were given
hush orders by the FBI and CIA.
Thousands
of hours and millions of pages of research have been conducted on this event
and subsequent events, and proven to be a staged plot for a bigger purpose.
When
are Americans going to wake up and demand that this issue be resolved?
When
will the people who lied on national television night after night be brought to
justice?
Item
Number Four:
The
Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill of Rights became the
law of our land in 1789. This document was written for the people of our
country never to be subject to three major things: Tyrannical Rule, Unfair
Taxation, and Religious Persecution. ALL of these items are in question as I
write this article on September 5, 2015. Presidents make rulings like Kings.
The American people are taxed so heavily that working anything over 50 hours is
a freebie to the government. Citizens, as well as lawmakers, are trying every
day to turn this Democracy into a Theocracy, something which was so important
to the framers of the Constitution, that they made it the First Amendment to
the document. Right after that, they recognized that for a country to hold its
values and properties relevant, it had to reserve the sovereign right of the
citizen to keep and bear arms. This was the Second Amendment.
So
right away the Founding Fathers saw that a citizen’s personal rights, and his
legitimate right to defend them, were the highest priorities to the success of
a free nation. It seems every day in this country; these two things are being
slowly taken away bit by bit. You’ve heard me refer to George Orwell’s book “1984”
before. Look at our country today and tell me that isn’t where we are headed.
Item
Number Five:
Racism
among our citizens keeps getting fueled every time one turns his head.
From
L.A. to Ferguson, from Tijuana to Juarez, from Chicago to Portland, it’s always
something. The truth is, this nation was founded on the concept of being a
great melting pot. Teddy Roosevelt once wrote that “once you’re an American,
you’re just that, an American. You’re not an African American, a Mexican
American, or anything of the sort; you’re an American. To call yourself
anything else is to not be an American.”
Teddy
had a way of NOT beating around the bush, and so do I.
If
you want to be an American citizen, some to this country legally and do what
thousands before you did, including my great grandfather’s parents. They came
to King’s Mountain, North Carolina in 1793 and worked their asses off and
became legal American citizens. They and all their neighbors were Scottish and
Irish, and proud of it, but they didn’t try to make the USA Ireland or
Scotland. If you want to come to this country and start some little country
within the United States that has its own laws, you need to be shot for
treason. These days all you hear is “black this” and “black that”.
Again,
if you’re not a racist, why the fuck does everything need to have “black” in
front of it. I know you’re black. I know my forefathers had slaves. But I don’t,
never approved of such, and we are here, today. All I want to do with you is
coexist in a peaceful manner. But we can’t do that if you teach your children
racial hatred. Let’s work together to get that ideal out of America.
Item
Number Six:
In
the past 6 months, I’ve driven about 3,940 miles around and across this great
nation of ours. This journey has taken me across 16 states, and untold numbers
of bridges and highways. Some of the highways and interstates that I have
travelled are in pretty fair shape, but sadly over fifty percent of them are
not fit to drive a herd of camels over.
Bridges
are in horrible shape, and highways are repaired or over-laid in “band-aid”
fashion, just to the point that they are acceptable.
The
interstate system was a pioneered idea of Dwight Eisenhower, but a serious
rip-off of the German Autobahn systems, which were (are) a system of getting
somewhere fast because you can travel at fast speeds.
Our
interstate system has become anything but that. It’s crumbling as fast as it
can be band-aided.
Improvement
of our failing infrastructure needs to be one of the next President’s highest
priorities.
Yes,
I’ve left out Clean Energy and several other topics.
Stay
tuned.
I’m
closing today with one parting thought. I’m sick at the thought of what America
has become. I wonder what kind of USA our grandkids will live in. Sometimes I
really shudder to the fact that we are on a road to decay and decline, much as
the Roman Empire did two thousand years ago. We need to INSIST upon better
leaders, get corruption out of government, and make America strong again.
