Well, our Congress is busy. These legislators are making more legislation, that the President said he would veto. Now in six years, he's only vetoed two bills. Ao even if he vetoes everything for the next two years, he can't possibly stop all the things that have been rubber stamped in the first six years of this administration. Isn't it just exillerating to see the wheels of government turn and breathtaking as we watch the checks and balances and progress of the three branches of government?
If only I had Nero's violin music in the background of this blog . . . or perhaps an awe inspiring orchestrated version of "G~d Bless America." I've noticed just how much that is beginning to sound like a crusade proclamation or an "order" given to the Almighty, rather than a humble request. But back to this legislation. We have a new bill regarding hate crimes . . . as if there are crimes of good will . . . Isn't crime already against the law? So this is how these newly elected representatives are attempting to convince the American public, they deserve this job? Well, I've just about seen enough to know, they are just killing time collecting salaries. It's as if they plan to just play political ping pong until 2008. And what does the White House have to lose? The President can't run again and the Vice President isn't running, so they've got no reason to please the people. I personally think this is just a smoke screen to camouflage the real issues, which are in abundance. I'm not talking the hot button stuff on talk radio, I'm talking the nitty gritty. While the government is talking $ethanol$ to the farmers, and the beef and the milk prices are going up, we're going to use corn for fuel! Well, that's what the cattle use for food. And while the government is talking $oil refineries and revenues$ to their exclusive constituents that now consist of much less than a majority, the gasoline prices continue to climb. The jobless rate has increased, the housing market is in a slump, the war has no end and apparently no funding, and according to Iraqi officials, no purpose, and our economy is still stable? Does anyone besides that thirty some % that support Bush, really believe this? Do you really think the 38,000 employees that got laid off at Ford think the economy is better? And say what about the guys at GM, now that they are second to Toyota . . . do they say the economy is better? the Feds say inflation is minimal and they haven't raised the interest rates! Big deal about the interest rates, the young people trying to get started don't have enough job security to get long term stable loans, so the interest rates aren't controlling anything except keeping expenses down for big business loans. Ah, but the Dow Jones hit 13,000 this week. Of course, if we turn down our talk radio, and turn off the white House/Capitol Hill debate, we'd see that the inflation is on Wall Street and the unemployment rate has dropped because unemployment benefits have run out. And read it, out of the supposed 88,000 jobs that have been created in the last quarter, the government made up 25,000 of them. The number of jobs that no longer exist after this quarter was not specified, but it doesn't take a math major to realize if the jobless percentage rose then that number is larger than those created. The gap is even greater if you deduct the 25,000 jobs invented by our already oversized government. So, with all this looming on our horizon, let's make extra paperwork to somehow legislate bad attitudes to be illegal, which is ultimately where the term "hate-crime" is heading. Combine a negative comment with a bad attitude about some small print in the Patriot Act, and there you have it. Soon we won't be able to say anything about our own government without it being a "hate crime" or a mental problem! Then the housing slump will make no difference and the economy will truly be stable. We'll simply all be housed and kept or employed to guard those that are. So, before it's signed into law, I've gotta say it. I just really hate what they've all done with the place! I hate to hear the rhetoric! I hate the war cries! I hate the name calling! I hate the campaign lies! I hate the hot button issues that are just mountains out of molehills! And I hate being told, I'm supposed to be afraid of everything! And I hate the fact that young people are still trying and still dying and are going to inherit this insane legacy that is wrapped in debt and tied with laws. And I do hate the fact, and I know I am not supposed to, but I hate the fact that those in this hand picked cast and their elite audience have enjoyed the music and won't have to pay the fiddler!
Ye that love YHVH, hate evil . . .
