You say you want a revolution… well you know…

Posted by Justin in Politics on April 17, 2009

Yesterday there were thousands of tea parties set up all over the USA and people from all areas of life were out.  This wasn’t just the extreme right or left out there, this was the average working person.  I don’t know about you but it feels like with the Sovereignty Act up for vote and the Tea Party that people are finally starting to get sick of big government spending and the lack of accountability.

The biggest issue with our political system is that it’s become a race between two competing teams and not about the love of the game anymore (i.e. the people and the Constitution).  It’s about winning.

Forward Progress

Posted by Justin in Politics on November 10, 2008

Well, I’m proud to say that although I didn’t vote for Mr. Obama myself I am very happy that we finally have moved forward and were able to elect an minority as President.  I’m not too keen on his policies and I’m frustrated that so many people voted for him based on either his race, not being George W. Bush, or the lesser of two evils and not the issues.  I’m not saying all people are uneducated on his issues but most of the people I talked to didn’t know much about what his administration planned on doing.

My mother is against the Federal government running things, raising taxes, and wealth distribution but she is so upset with the last 8 years she voted for the very thing she disagrees with.  I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt but my worries for the next few years run deep to my core.

The Bailout passed

Posted by Justin in Politics on October 3, 2008

“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country; corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in High Places will follow, and the Money Power of the Country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the People, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war”

Quote by: Abraham Lincoln
(1809-1865) 16th US President
Source: In a letter written to William Elkin just after the passage of the National Banking Act of 1863 and less than five months before he was assassinated.

Whatever God you pray to keep it up… we are in for a rough ride.  Notice how this was said to be such an important thing to pass because if it wasn’t passed it might destroy wallstreet.  The DOW was up over 300 points before this passed today and since it passed has gone down.  We’ve been lied to again by our government and flat out ignored.  There was 80% of the population that didn’t want this passed yet it was forced and passed anyways after a threat of Martial Law by President Bush.  What happened to the government representing the people?

vote them out of office for treason

Feelings on the bailout

Posted by Justin in Personal, Politics on September 29, 2008

I just read a little bit ago that the bailout was voted down.  I can’t tell you shocked and amazed I am that this actually took place.  It makes me very proud that Americans stood up and expressed disgust that Wallstreet would actually expect the taxpayers to bail out the rich.

It’s an easy situation to understand if you haven’t been following along… basically the rich being greedy made bad financial decisions to help pad their bonuses and it bit them in the ass… now they want the hardworking Americans that EARN their money the legal way to pay for it so they can turn around and do it again.  Anyone that would supoprt this bailout is doing so out of fear.
