What are 545 Politicians at the Bottom of the Sea?

A start ... read on ...


Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, The Federal Reserve Bank does.One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices - 545 human beings out of the 300+ million - are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes.

Who is the speaker of the House?

She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want.

If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300+ million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility.

I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.

When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.

If the Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ .

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insolvable government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.

Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like 'the economy,' 'inflation' or 'politics' that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses - provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

And this column is from Charlie Reese a former columnist for the Orlando Sentinel and I thank him for writing it.

Genaro C. Armas is a disgrace as a reporter

And the media wonders why we don’t trust them?

By now any of you that have followed the Little League Championship know that Georgia won the game against Japan.

We offer our heartiest congratulations to the Georgia team.

However, what you might not know, especially if you read the Associated Press, is the level of sportsmanship that was shown by the U.S. players toward the losers.

Yep, once again our media whose job is to report the news and not “interpret it” has failed. Poor reporting such as this would have gotten me fired on the spot when I was a journalist.

Read what Genaro C. Armas, AP Sports says about the reaction of the Georgia team to the win: “After exchanging handshakes with players from Japan, Georgia players took hold of the championship banner, their proud parents snapping pictures from the stands.”

You can read the rest of his "interpretation" of the "facts" at: http://sports.aol.com/story/ar/_a/us-walks-off-with-little-league-title/20070826190209990001

What this reporter can’t bring himself to tell you, fortunately the television medium at least Fox News used the video to show the entire story, is that every single Georgia player consoled the Japanese players by taking time to “hug” them – not just shake their hands.

And that this consoling and congratulating of the losers went on for at least 15-minutes and that the Georgia coach also participated in the consolation and the demonstration of sportsmanship!

This is the essence of what sports is all about. I was taught by every single coach that I ever played under or with that a major part of the game was to exhibit as much dignity and grace after the game as possible. Whether we won or lost, we always took the time to show sportsman like conduct.

Yes, Genaro C. Armas it appears that the coach of the Georgia team has taught his players well, however, it must gall you to have to report the truth although I do give you credit for reporting

Too bad, that in journalism school somehow you either flunked basic observation and reporting or that you have been so indoctrinated with the need to tell your version of the story you can’t see the truth.

And the mainstream media wonders why we don’t have any faith in them?

Mr. Armas, if you worked for me, you would be looking for a job this morning.

Until next time.
