Happy Shiny People

Why do liberals seem so happy and hopeful (unless they are speaking of Pres. Bush)?

Because being stupid is a lot like being high...

Don't worry, I'm doing a piece on the Republicans/conservatives next. Right now I want to talk about the mindless drivel I've been reading on the Capitol Hill Pundits' Blog (Commentary in D.C. link to your right). This blog has conservative and liberal bloggers, and they get pretty wound up at times. Its worth a read if you have the time.

Anyway, several liberals are proclaiming a new and glorious world when the Democrats win the next elections. I believe that they are either stupid, or just so hopeful that they refuse to see the truth. I am not currently afflicted with either of these conditions, so here I go...

Here are a few simple things to keep in mind...
1. We will not solve the problems of AIDS, poverty, war, famine, or crime by voting for a man or woman who claims to be able to solve these problems. Politicians make promises in order to get elected. I make a lot of claims here, but in reality I lay the solutions back on to you, Faithful Reader. Any jackass who claims that he/she or their political party can solve these problems for you is full of bovine droppings.

2. Democrats have no platform, and are running on the sole idea that they are not the Republicans. (Don't worry, I plan to give the republicans a fine analysis later.)

3. They all made the same promises last time. (and the time before that, and the time before that)

You see, any group that proclaims that they can bring about a great new world is blowing smoke straight up your...
Well, you get the idea. Here's part of the problem-The government wants us to be dependent on them. This feeds the current cycle. You know, they get to keep a fairly easy job (maybe not easy, but a nice job with perks), they get to line their pockets in roundabout ways, and they get power, a thing as addictive as crystal meth or heroin.

As I've often said, the glorious new world is up to us. We have to take action to stop the things that are going wrong with America. The first step is to take back our power-the power of the vote. The only solution that I can think of ( and I certainly didn't think of it first) is to vote out the incumbents at every election until they get the idea. Once we have made ourselves clear, once they get the message that we won't tolerate anymore of this corruption, partisanship, or just plain idiocy, then and only then will they start to do what we want them to. I truly believe that it would only take about six years for the United States to turn around if we simply voted out every incumbent at every election.

One thing is for sure- Neither the republicans or the Democrats are going to change their behavior without intervention.
