I personally belive that Ralph Nader is doing his best to bring us to the point where martial law meets fascism under the guise of
progessive liberalism. I guess I see the Green Party as the Progressive Fascist Party and Ralph Nader as the aging leader of this Progressive Fascist agenda, while possibly handing off the baton, or passing the mantle to Al Gore. So, now that Al Gore has brought us all to ecological awareness, will the Green Party finally succeed as a third party, and will Ralph Nader finally
have the recognition he truly deserves? Ralph doesn't have the Green Party's automatic
nod this time, though, there's that Congresswoman that didn't get re-elected, and say, why
doesn't Al, himself run? I can't say the world would be a better place, and I'm not attempting
to offer what the differences might be, but if Ralph hadn't taken 2.7% of the popular vote in 2000,
wouldn't Al Gore already be president? The reality is, however; that both Al and Ralph really appear to
have a great deal more power outside of the White House. I'm thinking these two guys have really
shown us what it is to attempt to transfer corporate wealth into lobby power and lobby power into
Congress control and ultimately legislate what's best for the planet at the people's expense. Now,
don't get me wrong, I'm probably more of a natural girl than either of these two guys, but expanding
the lobby and bureaucratic power to protect us from ourselves has resulted in little more than legislation
against freedom and choice.
I will give two simply examples. Auto industry and lightbulbs. Remember when Ford had the lightbulb
in it's advertising logo? Well, Ralph first got a better idea for the auto industry, and now Al has it for
the lightbulb. Ralph was safety first. He was first to make the auto industry safe for consumers. There was a time in this country in which the vehicles didn't
even come with seat belts, much less have federal and state legislature regarding the topic. Now, thanks
to Ralph Nader, every state has been granted a very lucritive legislation enforceable by every law enforcement
agency nation wide. So, for safety, our would be leader of the Green Party, brought us the potential for tickets, tickets, and more tickets. Yeah! Nader!
Moving right along to his protege, Mr. Gore and his inconvenient "truth." To prevent global warming by the watt, we will soon all be using lightbulbs that contain already proven hazardous material. So, of course, we'll need more legislation to regulate the disposal of these "earth saving improved lights." And regulation regarding clean-up procedures for accidental breakage. I have taken Mr. Gore's agression, personally, because his words and actions have caused me to agree with Republicans, and I just don't like it when that happens. If Mr. Gore is so concerned about global warming and our environment, he really should cut down on his own use of carbon fuels. As a matter of fact, I've noticed in all of his splendor and fame, it just wouldn't hurt him to do a little bit of walking. Talk about an inconvenient truth . . . save the environment and trim down a bit. It's a win/win solution for Al. And his concept about what to do to eliminate a carbon foot print, amounts to little more than paying someone else to not drive or not use a light bulb. I can't imagine how much in consultant fees, lobbyists, and new legislation this whole mess will begin to cost.
So, I guess Mr. Gore will show us all how to eliminate our carbon foot print with a trail of fool's gold!
I think Mr. Nader and Mr. Gore, both should realize by now, they have much more power causing public and lobby pressure in Washington, than either of them could ever obtain or handle
in office.
Besides, I read a headline that stated President Bush has projected that a Republican will win. It's a video clip, so I didn't watch it, but I couldn't help but wonder, and I do realize that headlines do not always reflect the actual content of the article or video. If he really is projecting another republican in the White House, clearly he isn't listening to the people, yet. Do you suppose he's basing that statement on the same brilliant intelligence as he has in other situations . . .
I would think his popularity in the polls and the 2006 midterm election would grant him some
illumination regarding the will of the people.
When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? a Psalm of Holy Scripture
