It is important for the citizens to be properly informed about the actions of those in elected office. Every policy decision has an impact in the individual’s life.
I know that for many it is better to be part of the ridiculing and laughing part of society. However, all being vulgarly critical accomplishes is an elected body that does not respect or listen to the people they were elected to serve.
If they are not listening to the common sense majority, then whom are they listening to while in office? The answer is lobbyist.
I am firm believer in Freedom. In addition, I do not begrudge anyone’s right to conduct business. However, politicians should not put the interest of business people who want cheap labor over the interest of the hard working taxpayers who are going to have to pay for everything bad that comes with immigration reform.
It is wrong for people to violate the borders of countries. We need law and order. People cannot be encouraged to break the law. People need to be able to trust that politicians, bureaucrats, and other government employees are enforcing the law.
When we get in bed with evil, we become evil. Under no circumstance should we believe that allowing the law to be broken is not going to negatively influence our society.
Today, our society is in very bad shape. We have become what I call “decadent indulgents”. We want all the bad things. While we party, America burns.
Republicans and Democrats no longer care about the danger of adding to an already high national debt. Again, the president and congress are considering raising the debt limit.
Yesterday, the president gave a speech about the NSA’s handling of our cell phone calls, emails, and texts. Before, some one leaked this practice, who was aware that the American government was collecting all this “data”? Snowden may of broken the law in revealing government secrets. However, he aimed the very bright spotlight on a great government evil.
I believe people are confused about reporting the facts and just plain criticizing. Yesterday, I was rummaging through GOOGLE+. There were some very petty and immature comments about Mr. Christie of New Jersey.
Insulting someone is not reporting the facts. I have never been a fan of Mr. Christie. In addition, I would of never considered him for the job of President of the United States of America. However, my opposition to Mr. Christie has more to do with his values than his weight problems.
Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, and people like them serve a positive role in informing the audience of the bad acts of government types. In my business, I have a lot of down time that I occupy with conservative talk radio. My understanding of Ingraham and Limbaugh has nothing to do with reports from the agenda-driven liberal news media.
I have listened to both of them for many years. In fact, for a time I was tired of Ingraham’s harsh attitude. Now, that I have been forced to listen to Glen Beck, I want Ingraham back.
I consider people such as Glen Beck as very dangerous. These personality types are “emotionalist” and want to influence people with emotional manipulation.
I would rather hear the facts “of the sky is falling” then a bunch of tears and whining about the “sky falling”. Mr. Beck may be tired of reporting the facts. Many of us in his audience are not tired of considering facts.
For some days, I have been hearing Mr. Limbaugh comment that he is not trying to be negative after he comments on the bad actions of government. I spend a lot of time writing on the need for people to change their attitude from a negative one to a more positive one.
Calling a person a fat pig is negative. Reporting that a state governor is the subject of a controversy involving abuse of power is a positive. This is information people need in order to manage their government appropriately.
In the time I have listened Limbaugh, Ingraham, Hannity, and Levine I have never heard anyone of them fabricate a fact. In addition, these conservative commentators are not just feeding me my conservative slop.
Conservative traditional values were never responsible for poor and underprivileged. We are a product of our attitude. Everything we have or do not have is the result of how we look at life.
I understand the negative energy in people. All the media does is perpetuate a negative attitude. It is not a surprise to me why people are so violent, vulgar, and critical of every one and everything.
However, we need to be better than the negativity we see around us. This year’s Congressional elections are very important. Many entrenched Republicans need to “shown the door”.
I will admit that I have no confidence in the Americans doing the right thing. The power of the liberal media is too great. People need this liberal media to tell them what to think and feel.
Moreover, many people do not have any standards that they can use to measure the quality of political candidates. I want those in the US Congress to appreciate the values of “personal responsibility” and “self-reliance”. Keeping government small and taxes smaller are also good values. It would be great if elected officials in America would respect our right to privacy, freedom of speech, religion , and our rights against illegal search and seizure. In a news story, I found out that Homeland Security agents could take our cell phones if we are within 100 miles from a “port of entry”.
Those who came here to escape the tyranny of the Crown and Church knew why it was important to restrict the actions of government with a Constitution. As much as we have better things to do on an “Ipad” we need to start getting informed before we are all walked in to a concentration camp and/or re-education camp.
