Loading ...This is not a hit on Obama and his “Change” during the 2008 Presidential Campaign, but a slap to the face of people in general. I am watching a documentary on the General Motors EV1 and how it was squashed. I am not here to write about the EV1 or that fiasco, but it does fit in with “change.”
While watching the EV1 documentary I see the NAFTA, 2nd Amendment, illegal immigration and every other beast we fight in operation. I know this happens and has happened for decades, but knowing and then really seeing are way different. People place the blame on Democrats, Republicans, big business, big oil and whoever else they can name when they are not the ones to place the ownership of these problems.
The American public owns 100% of the blame for the problems of this nation. The left and right are too busy fighting each other and do not see what the real problems are and who orchestrates them. I am as guilty as anyone. Just read some of my posts. I get as lost in the tangents as everybody else, but I do see my faults. We have hate crimes, racism, religious intolerance and unemployment to draw our attention away from the real problem. The real problem is as simple as those we have elected to public office.
We are duped, as voters, into thinking there is a difference in those we have elected. Why is it the same problems persist from our Republican House and Senate now that we have a Democrat controlled House and Senate? We elected a President just because he was not associated with Bush and yet Bush policies remain in place. Bush was elected because we were tired of Clinton and his policies yet Bush kept the Clinton policies throughout his reign. The circumstances around Bush’s election play into this as well. How much uproar was there from Clinton’s NAFTA and then Bush pushed through CAFTA? Why did they perpetuate these trade agreements with 90% or greater of the voting public being against them? They are all the same and that is why!
Anyone could draw the same conclusions as I do if you just take a few minutes to look into it. Our elected officials no longer represent those that elected them to office. We continue to put the same ones in office each election day and we expect change. Even if the names change their stance remains the same. Look at the “new” names that are being elected to office today.“Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” The Who said “we won’t get fooled again” and yet we continue to fooled time and time again.

Austin you have a great way with words and you are right on target with this post. From the old Pogo comic strip “we have met the enemy and he is us.” We really need to get smart about what this country stands for, what our values are, and what we want our future to be like. On the bright side I think more and more people seem to be waking up, reading the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and they are starting to push back. I pray for this country that we can find real leaders who will work for real change and I pray we are not too late. By the way thanks for your wonderful post on my blog concerning H1N1 and the media. It was right on! I currently work in a cardiology practice so I don’t see too much flu right now but a family practice colleague of mine in SC saw 101 patients in one day with flu sx. It seems to depend on what age group you work with and where you are located. Thanks for asking!
Thank you for your kind words. It is wonderful to know that there are others out there that are not robots. The bad thing is who I am fighting. I tend not to have so much trouble with the liberals, but with those supposedly on my side of the fence. I come off as way to the right and I am way to the right, but I am not so much so that I cannot get along with people from all sides. I consider my worst enemy to be the Neo-Cons since they are the proverbial wolves in sheep’s clothing. They preach to the right, but act to the left. They are not conservatives by any definition, I call them on that and they hate me for it. We have a camp of Neo-Cons in West TN that have brainwashed those in this area into thinking they are true conservatives. Thanks again for your comments and keep coming back. I find your blog to be informative and enjoyable as well. I hope the readers here will follow the link on your name to your blog and enjoy it as I do.
Let’s not forget that Bush Sr. started the NAFTA agenda. Yes, one has to see that there is a bigger agenda from the powers behind the presidency.
You are so correct. Also it is fun to watch Bush Sr. and Clinton who were mortal enemies back in the early 90s pal around together now. Look also at Memphis and 600 WREC. Mike Fleming started spewing the Paulie sentiment and look who took his place on the radio. Mike Fleming was one of the most respected conservative talk-show hosts in this area and when he went “real” conservative he was cut.
