Put Your Money On A Long Shot 4

Maybe my thinking is wrong? I am not concerned with preserving the 'status quo'. I don't believe that the System is working. I don't believe that it ever worked. I can plainly see where it is going, and I am not thrilled by the prospects.

All of the Right-wingers want to live in the past. They hate the present and what America has become. I don't blame them for hating the System. However, I do not want to return to the past. The past stifled creativity. It was selfish and meaningless. That's how it brought us to where we are in the present.

Today - and, everything you hate about it - is a direct result of the past!

All these terrorists, that we are fighting today, were created by the United States. We used to call them 'freedom fighters'. We only have 'friends' when it suits us. As long as they help us achieve our objectives they are 'good old boys', and when they pursue their own they become our enemies.

Which objectives are most important?

The ones that serve the interests of Corporate Capitalism!

The wealthy and powerful don't give a fuck about your 'Constitutional Rights'. All they care about is a bigger return on their investments. And, a 'free ride' as far as taxes go. To them the American people mean absolutely nothing. They can bring in more foreigners to replace them anytime they want. Foreigners who are 'lean' and 'hungry', and who are ready and willing to do the bidding of the 1%.

Why would any American Worker, in his right mind, support a system like this?

And, the Left-wingers, OMFG, they are a pathetic bunch of dreamers, and lambs, ready for the slaughter. As we go down the list of things that the 'progressives' want, we see one thing after another that is counter-productive.

Let's take an across-the-board raise in the minimum wage... AS soon as you mention it prices go up; as soon as you write the Bill, they go up again; and, when you finally pass it, up they go again. Inflation cancels out any gains that raising the minimum wage would bring to working Americans. And, those living on fixed incomes have just become poorer. What's the point?

How about a ban on guns?

As soon as the debate starts, gun sales begin to go through the roof. Everyone wants to get some 'protection' before its too late. Gun shows are packed with Americans who, like lemmings, are following their neighbors down to the sea.

"Wow, gun sales have quadrupled," the guy on the News channel says.

"They are coming to take our guns," the right-wingers say.

Everybody puts in their two-cents... And, the excitement mounts.

Guess what?

It's all bullshit. The US Constitution gives people the right to own guns. Not to hunt or protect their homes, but to overthrow the Government if need be.

So, now, you dumb-asses have doubled the number of guns in our society. And, have succeeded in driving up the prices of guns and ammo. Thereby, making the rich even richer. Nice work.

That's what I call 'counter-productive'!

Basically, you can't turn to the right, or the left, for answers. They've BOTH got their heads stuffed so far up their asses that they can't even see daylight.

We need to get a goddamned big broom and sweep all these assholes out of politics!

The idea SHOULD BE to promote what is good for America. Not what YOU or I want. And, to eliminate those things that are counter-productive.

Starting with the BULLSHIT!
