COMES A STORM

I
am thinking that you… like I… are wondering about the political parties with
which we are most aligned. You used to profess that you were a Democrat or a
Republican. Then, as the political establishments
whittled away at common sense, you… like I… began to reassess our loyalty.
We
became conservatives and liberals… not necessarily Republican or Democrat. We
became independent thinkers. Somebody realized this and created a category (accurately)
termed “independents.” As self-sufficient
thinkers, we have commenced doubting the effectiveness… even the efficacy of our
own congressional representation. It has dawned upon us that they aren’t
listening… or if they are, they aren’t interested.
“Where
does all this lead beyond the next election cycle or two? Nobody knows, but the
best place to look for answers is within the Millennial Generation, the
nation's rising leaders and voters. Last month, in a lengthy essay… I concluded
that their revolutionary view of government and politics points toward two
possible outcomes. One is that they might opt out of Washington, which leads us
to some dark places. The second and more likely outcome is they will blow up
Washington (‘disruption’ is the tech-inspired term they use), and build
something better outside the current two-party dysfunction. Millennials don't
fit neatly into either the Democratic or Republican parties. They are highly
empowered, impatient, and disgusted with politics today.” [Ron Fournier,
National Journal, 01OCT13]
The
“Tea Party” is more of a disruption today than it was in 1773. It is the “conservative” effort to repair our
country. There will come a liberal
disruption… when the fruits of liberal policies begin to rot, and those who
depended upon them realize they were had. Unfortunately, the liberal disruption
will be in the form of civil unrest known as rioting. In either case, we will
know our politicians for who they were… too late.

Certainly, our forefathers certainly had
not envisioned a professional political class. This has become a problem where
our “elected” representatives confuse the needs and will of their constituents
with self-aggrandizement.
I submit, in addition to term limits, that
Senators and Representatives from the states be reimbursed by their state… NOT
paid salary and benefits by the federal government.

Appearing
on Fox News's Hannity, (Travis) Smiley said, "The data is going to
indicate sadly that when the Obama administration is over, black people will
have lost ground in every single leading economic indicator category"
[Newsbusters, 11OCT13]
The DEMS will blame it on Bush... and the media will whip them into a frenzy. Regardless of how it goes down. They will have voted for the captain of their sinking ship. FEMA will not be able to handle this storm.
