As I read and write about current events, I wonder about the direction our country and our world is taking. I've been nagged by an idea that has been rolling around in the back of my mind over the past twenty years or so: Do we really need Congress in its current configuration any longer? What does Congress do besides continuously run for their next terms, hurl insults at each other, plot, scheme, lie to the public and to their constituants, send out "sexting" messages and use their power for illicit or criminal, or exertion-of-power purposes. Well, at least that's what we read about all the time.
Does having a Congress work anymore? They appear to screw up everything they touch, constant insert themselves in the daily lives of American citizens, and appear to cause nothing but trouble, hatred, and animosity. Looking back, the current state of Congress has been evolutionary, and I do not like where it's headed. No wonder there is so much apathy among intelligent voters, all one million or so of them.
The government worker bees do the work, Congressmen and women do not. Look at the likes of Weiner, who spends his time exposing himself to under aged females, and Boehner, who spends his work time on the golf course. Let's face it. As business people, if we spent our work time doing either, we'd, well, be fired. I'm writing about this topic to encourage thoughtful discussion. I have a lot of evidence to add over time that speaks against having Congress as it defines itself today. Maybe it's time to air this topic out. You can provide input. Be specific and detailed in your argument. I attempted to voice this on my facebook page but somehow didn't hit the correct button.
People I'd like to hear from, or see relevant posts from are not limited to, but include (in no specific order): Mark (from his bunker) levine, Bill O'Reilly (a great topic for his 'Legal Beagels', Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingraham, David Limbaugh, Rush Limbaugh, Dick Morris, John Stossel (my favorite Libertarian), Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Judge Napolitano, Mike Huckabee, Lou Dobbs, and any source from the Heritage Foundation.
It's time to start a dialog on this. Congress in its' present state, is corrupt. It demonstrates that as a group, it can be bought. If having a jerk like Osama Obama in office has one benefit, it is that it brought this rampant corruption out from behind closed doors and into the daylight.
