Right- wingers, Unite! We Must Stop the Attacks and Get Serious!

This week I was planning on addressing how the members of the GOP need to unite and display to left- wingers a strong battle front.  However, the behavior of quite a few right- wingers has been disgraceful, rude and absolutely distasteful- and to our very own colleagues, nonetheless. 

Just a couple of weeks ago, President Obama urged all Americans to contact their Congress members to urge them to sign the Health Care Reform Bill (HR 3200).  In doing so, I think it is obvious to the naked eye that he was urging the leading American Party of Democrats to help him in this never- ending silent  and usually cordial battle of Politics.  This is a brilliant example of how united the Democratic Party is.  Did anyone look at how many calls Democrats made to their Congress members? It was a whopping number and they succeeded their quota in telephone calls. 

Did anyone from the GOP get out there and urge right- wingers to get on their phones and busy the lines of our Congress members? If they did, I know I didn’t read or hear about it.  We’re like sitting ducks out there people.  It’s almost as if we’re waiting for the Democrats to tell us when to come out and play.  We’ve got to get back on track, especially if we want to get a GOP’er elected into the seat of POTUS when 2012 rolls around. 

Moreover, we should not and we simply cannot afford to continue to attack our fellow GOP’ers.  And since when has attacking someone (let alone a colleague) in regards to their weight had anything to do with politics? I refuse to name these people who find it amusing, at best, to harass members of this now struggling party.  How about instead of going back- and- forth in relations to one’s weight we find an alternative? Idea: How about we tweet and retweet each other about new political ideas to better and broaden the GOP!? Wouldn’t that be some positive action, opposed to that of simply sitting at our desks and writing humor jokes about one’s weight?  Now I am not a chauvinist in the least, but I was always taught that it is disrespectful and a mockery of the word, gentleman to discuss a woman’s weight.  It is insensitive to discuss anyone’s weight, but to discuss that of a woman is in my opinion, sad.

I find it pathetic that I am discussing this at all, but for the few of you who lack enough “social skills” and intelligence to actually discuss the topic at hand and instead simply display your ignorance to the rest of us, why don’t you pick up your luggage and run to the left.  The GOP is having a hard enough time carrying- on without your rubbish.  Now, back on to something relevant: revitalizing and broadening the GOP.

Drive Safely, the Left Road is Misleading

What happened to “Honesty” in our Nation’s Capitol? In the past few months the US President, Barack Obama, and his comrads in the House have been attempting to pass the Health Care Reform Act Bill.  However, the men and women we voted into the House to represent us and protect our interests and well- being have been misinforming us. 

Perhaps its started with Speaker Pelosi, the Representative from California, influencing her colleagues in the House.  I mean come on my fellow citizens, Nancy Pelosi, is a representative of FREAKING CALIFORNIA! One of the richest states in the country.  Where do you think he interests lay? I dont think actors (who voted for Obama) like Ashton Kutcher (who I’m sure Tweets about the HCR Bill being positive) and Arnold Schwartzenegger need better Health Care plans.  I mean come on- they are RICH and can afford as much insurance as they want. 

You’d thnk that after many years of SILENT celebrities, America would find it suspicious that all these celebrities came out of their sealed mansions and advocated the election of Obama.  Obviously, they would benefit in some manner.  Whoever believes that these celebrities voted for him to better the Middle Class are out of their minds. 

Back to Pelosi and Friends, how did we get here my fellow citizens? How did we get to this wretched spot where our $200K plus earning representatives lie to us as such.  Treating us like sick patients in their own little rehab… They treat us as if we’re stupid because to some extent WE ARE.  For instance, President Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Friends tell us that this National Health Care Reform Act Bill is “already paid for” and “wont place us in any more debt.”  Well, Mr. President and Friends, indeed by undertaking this Health Care Reform Act we are placing a larger burden on our National debt- obviously without it, we would not go as far into the deficit as we are already going.  In addition, what about who’s paying for this?? Eventually it will need additional costs to keep funded… Americans will have to cough up more taxes every year to pay for this.  Not acceptable.  What about the liberties restricted by medical offices under this Reform Bill?

Doctors’ abilities to perform certain tests and prescribe medications will be restricted under this act (unless you’re rich like Nancy Pelosi and can pay the Doctor to keep his mouth shut).  The Government will have even more power to control what we can and cannot do. 

People, come on! The Constitution delegates that the Power be kept in the hands of the People.  Not a large Government.  What would our Founding Fathers be thinking right now?

So do me and yourself a favor- not to mention the generations of Americans who will be paying for this in the future.  Think about it… think about who is suggesting it… and think about the severities of the Consequences.  Email, call, Tweet your Congress members.  They’re being paid too much not to answer your questions.  Challenge them! WE ARE THE PEOPLE.  Let’s show the People we elected that they won’t mislead us anymore. 

Just some food for thought.  Thanks for reading as always.  And I look forward to blogging more in the future- so let me know what you think!

The Climate in the House Is Finally Shifting

With the discovery of House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, announcing that she will bring the controversial topic of Climate Change to the House’s Chamber I felt the immediate need to express my concern.  It is about time that Madam Speaker bring the topic to the table, after all scientists have only been debating the issue for how many years now? and being that she is the Representative of one of America’s most heavily polluted states, I knew a light had to go on one day.  I applaud Madam Speaker for finally addressing this issue and going through whatever channels she’s had to go through.  From what I’ve read, it appears as though she had to step over the shoes of some of her com rads, but this is a sign of leadership and her taking control of what the Committee assigned to Climate Change has NOT been doing. 

President Obama recently called out for all Americans- “Young and old,” to get out there and volunteer! I understand his message and its about time- but with all do respect Mr President, we’re in a recession, and your quick call to get everyone out there volunteering (working without any monetary benefits) is slightly contradicting.  Message to the President: “Don’t go out and bail- out these companies providing their CEO’s with these luxurious bonuses and tell the Middle Class citizens to get out there and work for that warm feeling at the end of the day, when John and Sally and crying because they can’t afford their mortgage.”  Let’s get real for a moment here.  I know your hearts in the right place, but its certainly not telling me or my fellow citizens that you care about our monetary safety at the moment. 

I mentioned the President’s recent call to Americans, because I find it absolutely astonishing that he has yet to comment on Pelosi’s step to discuss Climate Change in the House.  Climate Change should be a priority.  Let’s get our priorities straight Mr President.  If we have no healthy atmosphere, we have no jobs- not even “volunteer” opportunities.

Back to Climate Change, I am very happy the House has finally decided to label it properly, “Climate Change.”  Because that is exactly what it is.  It is NOT Global Warming.  Global Warming is a very common misnomer- indicating that the world is ONLY heating, when in fact we are experiencing heating and cooling periods… Is there a difference? Yes there is.  When we have part of our world cooling and the other warming, and then climates shifting- there’s a hefty difference. 

The House needs to sit down as a team, united, without all the liberals one- sided and the right- wingers on the other side in the discussion of this topic.  The last thing we need are calls for biased judgement in any actions taken towards Climate Change.  Speaker Pelosi should call the House to order, bring in scientists from every research center in the US and other nations, tell the House to listen and then debate.  The first step to any issue is educating yourself- formerly on it, and then addressing it.  A five- page briefing will simply not cut it, sorry Representatives. 

Following, Speaker Pelosi should call for any suggestion from the floor and allow the scientists to debate on the issue with the Representatives.  Though sadly, when they break for lunch- I can guarantee that there will be a handful of our Representatives outside smoking a cigarette, only making our “Climate Change” issue HEALTHIER!

As passionate I am about the environment, I am really proud to see some efforts being taken- although still in the early stage- for the American legislators to get out there and address the topic of the Century.  I think its about time we acknowledge the issue professionally, intelligently, and compassionately, and in proper decorum.  When I say proper decorum, I mean that we need our Representatives to understand the reality of it and that it is indeed a real issue. 

I hope to see the House discussing Climate Change in depth in the very near future, and I applaud Speaker Pelosi for enacting the gears. 

Let’s get back on the right track.
