The Fight Is On! November 2006



The fight is on all over the 'net and the news stations on how the votes will go in November. I had a thought. I've already done this but I'm not certain how this would work in other states. What if we all registered as Independents and simply stopped financially supporting either of our two parties?

I'm tired of fighting over whether the government should do this or that for the people. I think the government should get out of the way when people want to do things for themselves. If we don't want government controls over abortions, how we die, or how we educate our kids it should not stop us. If there is a level of people who simply cannot make these decisions let them have their states or churches do it. I think the southern states have shown an inability to take care of their poor and simply wait for the government to issue money and that should stop. If we would stop fighting with each other and simply cancel the cost of government, the people themselves could come up with insurance plans that would take care of all of us. I would much rather have a corporation take care of my needs than the shoddy government agencies that have done nothing but raise the cost of my health care. I want to buy health care plans and not be given some outlandish plan that I will never need. If I don't smoke or drink and I take care of my body, I want that health care cost to be less than the old drunk who lives next door.

Every damn Democrat I heard this morning after Lieberman's defeat is screaming for more government control and I can hardly wait until the Republicans start in about their plans for more government control as well. I'm sick of it! I will not be treated like a child and I expect my government to stop expanding these wars that will head into Iran next. All one has to do is look at the plans from the Project for the New American Century (PNAC).

The PNAC has our future all laid out in its plan to force democracy in Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran. Apparently it doesn't matter how many American Servicemen are sacrificed or how many innocent women and children are killed as long as the neoconservatives are successful in the one world order of empire-building. We have given them an open signed check book and I want it back!

The fight between the Democrats and Republicans are forcing us to fight with each other so the PNAC can keep the middle east and America fighting each other and it is very hard to tell which ones are the terrorists.

The problems in the Middle East are a lot easier to solve than the ones at home. Have we Americans given up any hope of living our lives as individuals or are we going to be treated as cattle by our government from here on out? Both parties are preparing to take control of our lives from the crib to the grave if we give them that control. I want that control back and no corrupt congressman to ever assume again that he has the right to tell me when and who I see for medical care.

The Lieberman loss has shown me that Americans are generally pissed at the government and I can only hope that all of Congress will be dismissed in the same way. Vote NO on the Congress and Senate in November and I will vote NO on the Governor and the State Officials too

I want the U.S Constitution brought out of the Archives and copies placed in the White House and the Capital Building and reviewed by every candidate who runs in November and in 2008. Then they better damn well answer some questions.

If only. I hear you. I think

If only. I hear you. I think more self-governance would be great, but unfortunately, despite being a hopeless optimist and idealist, I'm not sure that the majority of people are ready for the responsibility for that. Sadly I think people are still looking for an Oedipal get-out clause, a Daddy who will take care of them, rather than face responsibility themselves. You see that on all levels, not just govt, it affects the way we see religion, [and] all [sorts] of things.

I think people like us that can think a bit more freely, and out of that box, are in the minority.

Great post though. It gives me a good feeling that maybe things might shift. Keep writing! Keep doing.
