PAUL

People such as you keep us informed that these liberals who push for more laws against the free market and push for more class warfare, are the biggest hypocrites. They feed off of the dying carcass of what’s left of our economic freedoms – all the capital built up over centuries of the results of people who made their American dreams come true. As a renter during the last 12 years and a believer in market cycles, I knew there was something grotesquely wrong that real estate prices have more than doubled in many places in four years. Crooked companies such as Countrywide, along with the liberal politicians pushing for subprimes and no downs for minorities are part of what got this country into this mess. We probably won’t see this scandal become known in the MSM until after Obama becomes president this Fall. But the liberals don’t care. They will have the power to cast this scandal aside.

It sounds like you are a middle-aged working professional. I am the same. There are millions of us out here with absolutely no representation. Worse, those that we have entrusted to do our bidding in Washington are getting rich by stealing our dreams.

Unfortunately, most of us working professionals are very busy lately trying to keep the wolf away from the door while out elected officials are poaching our savings, our investments, our childrens’ hopes of college and our dreams of retirement.

Today, in our country, if a starving man breaks into you home and steals food, when that man is caught he stands a good chance of spending a very long time in a filthy prison. In contrast, a man can steal your entire savings, the savings of all your neighbors, in fact, the entire country’s future and when this man is “brought to jsutice” he may go to “club fed” for a few months. If he has spent our money wisely on good lawyers, he likely will never have to repay the money he took. (Michael Millken, WorldComm and Enron are just a few of the many names that come to mind ). Have we become so disillusioned that we accept Government corruption as the norm, instead of the rare exception?

Ultimately, I hold myself responsible for letting this happen. I simply did not pay enough attention to what my elected officals were doing, or hold them accountable for their actions. That day has past. I recently read that less than 18 percent of those polled approve of the job that our Congress is doing, yet we let them remain. Have we become that complacent? Our forefathers would have already been in Washington demanding answers.

In every crisis of our past, it has been the great resolve of the American people that has seen us through the difficult times. As much as both political parties like to take the credit, it is my belief that it has never been, nor will it ever be our government that has kept us solid, safe and solvent. One America, full of Americans in pursuit of a common dream is what has saved us, time and again. Not African-Americans, Asia-Americans, Native-Americans, Latin-Americans, just Americans, looking for life, liberty and happiness.

At no time since the Civil War has our country ever been so devided. The Democrats (I’ll call them the lawyer partry) act as if they are representing a client. This client is the liberal American and in order for thier client to win, all other Americans must lose. The Republicans (the Preacher party) feel that we are all on a fast track to hell because of the liberals and if we let the liberals lead, we are all doomed. My observation is that with a few exceptions, most Americans are somewhere near the middle of the spectrum between liberal and conservative and are not truly represented by either the “lawyers” or the “Preachers”.

Meanwhile, our elected officals, both Democrats and Republicans are doing the work of thier respective parties, making themselves rich in the process and sending the bill to the hard-working people of America. The only time there is true bipartisanship in our Government is when they vote themselves a nice big raise or let us pay for their lush retirement program. American workers soon will have no retirement because our elected leaders have squandered our Social Security.

America’s next enemy is not the Russians, or the Iranians or even the North Koreans. Our new enemy is our Government. It will take the full resolve of our great people to defeat this enemy. Until every American screams “I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore” , our current situation will reamin unchanged.

It is time to hold our elected leaders responsible for their actions. It is long past time to remove the self-serving, the drunks, the racists, the perverts and the criminals. Until we return to “one nation (under God, I’ll say it but you don’t have to) with liberty and justice for all” we are all destined for failure.

This is a giagantic task, but we have a powerful tool in the internet. We have the technology to predict hurricanes, earthquakes, send rockets to the Moon and Mars. We are certainly smart enough to get the “sleaze” out of Washington. America is in great need of Great Americans – NOT more empty-suited politicians. It is time for Americans to reunite, reconcile and get back to the businesof being the greatest, most productive nation on earth. In other words, it is time to quit paying ransom and rescue our country from the politicans that kidnapped her.

We need to pursuade those among us who have been forced into early retirement, downsized, laid off and those who were lucky enough to retire and now must live on what is left of their investments to organize non-partisan watch groups and report via e-amil, without interference of the media, what our leaders are doing for our country. Then together us must take action to keep our public servants working for America.
