SO I was listening to NPR last night and becoming more and more disgusted with politicians and the current candidates vying for a seat in the Presidential race. But even more disgusted with the blind people that support said candidates. There is so much mud slinging, back biting, bribing and straight out lying that I have decided I am going to start my own political party, The Realists.
The Realists will be for promoting a world based in reality. Based on ACTUAL equal rights for all, not just for some, not just for the people that agree to crazy narrow minded ideals. A world where people are held accountable for their actions and if someone can't do their job they forfeit their position to someone who will try. There will be no more arguing for your own agenda, instead we will fight to do what is right for the people. And while what is best may not make all of those people happy it will still be what is best for the country as a whole.
First, how is it fair, right or even legal for one person to decide who another person loves, marries and spends their life with? How would like for me to walk into your house and tell you that you can't stay married to your spouse because they have blond hair? Not the same because hair color and sexual preference are two separate things? Fine. If you want to bring sex into it. Then you can't stay married to your spouse because the only way to sexually gratify them is to give them Felicio. (Don't know that word? Then you're not old enough to be having sexual intercourse.)
Second, and this is kind of tied into the first. The bible is not your personal weapon to use when you don't like what some one is doing in their personal life. The bible is not open for interpretation on some levels and then meant to be taken literal on other levels ie being gay/gay marriage. Sorry, you can not pick and choose. Nor can you force your religious beliefs onto other people. Why is your God the only right God. And for that matter why is your religion pertinent to the running of the country. Currently there are 313 different religions in the United States. How would it be fair to those other 312 other religions if our government instituted a religion that its citizens must live by.
Third, The Realist Party will stay out of its citizens minds, pants and bedroom. The government is not an institution that should tell someone how to think. (I know this can also fall under number 2, but wait.) The government is also not in charge of telling a woman that she can not take birth control or get an abortion. The government should not take away the rights of its people. Notice a theme here? The last time I checked this was not Communist China. (Now who you calling a Commie little Miss Tea Party?)
For the upteenth time the Government is here to ensure the safety and prosperity of its people. Not SOME of the people. ALL of its people. If I were a homosexual living in this climate I would stop paying taxes. If my government is not going to provide me the same rights as the rest of its citizens and pretty much classify me as a second class citizen I would say "FINE! If that is the case you can't have any of my second class money!" HOW IS THIS FAIR PEOPLE?!?!?!
Seriously it boggles my mind.
Anyone? Anyone?
I digress...
What number was I on? Fuggit. I'm going to ramble for a moment because this blog post will soon be a novel.
We need education and teachers. It is essential to the survival of the country. Teachers are not evil lazy people that want to work as little as possible and steal the nations money. Nor can they work properly with 40 screaming bratty children in their classroom. You try it for a day and then tell me that teachers are over paid.
We also need military, police, firemen (not only for my own viewing pleasure but to also put out fires) and social workers.
The people listed above should not work for free. A Tea Party member stated on NPR that those in Social Service should do their job for free and not at the cost of the government because they love their job. Which makes sense. If social workers, policemen, firemen, and military people were robots and did not have families to provide for.
WE NEED TAXES! As much as taxes suck the country DOES needs them to survive. You like feeling safe with the police a phone call away? You like having a fire department? You like having nice smooth roads to drive on? That all comes from taxes you idiots. And get this...EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE! Why should the richest of the rich get to sit on the backs of the lower and middle class?! Why is that okay?! What all of you "conservatives" are not comprehending is that the taxes you are fighting so hard against are for the upper class. For those that make over 1 million per year. So unless you are lucky enough to fall under that tax bracket sit your happy ass down because you are only fighting for the man. And the man only wants to keep us down! Joking....kind of...
So what my above rant sums up to is simple. We need a political party that is honest. That does not have an "agenda". A party that will fight for the rights of all Americans, not just the ones that serve their own goals or line their wallets. We need a government that does their job and stops the insecent in fighting that has recently brought our country to its knees. We need someone to stand up to the politicians that want to serve themselves before they serve the people they are supposed to represent. People in positions of trust need to be held accountable when they break the law. If you steal a bajillion dollars and throw the country's financial situation into chaos guess what?! You're going to jail ass hat! And not just a little slap on the hand! You will go to federal prison. FOR A LONG TIME.
The current climate of this country is sickening. It is like we have stepped back 100 years in time where being a racist and a bigot is okay. Where the upper crust can commit crimes and pay their way out of persecution.
We as a country have become what we fought so hard against.
We as a people have grown hateful, lazy and oppressive.
I have said it before, but I will say it again.
There needs to be a revolution soon.
If there isn't a change soon we might as well appoint Michelle Bachman President and High Mucky Muck and let her convince people that slavery is okay and that slaves were okay with it because they had a shared belief of God with their slave owners. (True story)
So think twice before you drink the kool aid. Think twice before you believe what the talking heads on FOX news spout. This isn't about Republicans or Democrats or Tea Parties anymore. This is about doing what is right. This is about being real instead living in a fantasy land where everything is black and white. This is about putting an end to the oppression. This is about putting an end to giving up our rights.
This is about being a Realist.
