National Religion?

Tuesday night was proof that government and politics has become the national religion.  Deer in the headlights Bush gave his State of the Union speech, and no, I didn’t watch it.  How do I know it is symptomatic of politics and government being the national religion?  Easy.  Every TV channel aired the speech, and for hours afterwards, the pooh bahs of the networks analyzed it.  Who cares? This morning, Wednesday, all the news broadcasts are still going over it endlessly, and even the “Beeb” is doing it.  (“Beeb” is what the Brits call the BBC).  Government and the slime balls who run it and dominate us, is the main focus of all ’news’ and other topics in the broadcast as well as the print media.  I’m sick of it, because 99% of Americans, and for that matter the rest of the world, actually believes that their governments are responsible for any nice things which may happen to them.  The reverse is true.  If something nice comes your way, it’s probably because government hadn’t thought of a way to regulate or tax it.  Washington D.C., home of the D.C. Gang, as I call them, are perhaps the most useless, crooked, well bribed, lying bunch of thieves ever thought of by a normal mentality.

They harass everyone who wants to make a living, hold a job, travel, eat, drink, gamble, buy a home, save for the future, leave something to their kids, or do any of thousands of other human tasks and probabilities.  Now they are considering making vitamins a prescription item, just as a classic example.  Imagine it.  Getting a prescription for a bottle of vitamins!  Between metal detectors, electronic listening devices, and snooping bureaucrats everywhere, this land, often referred to as the “Land of the Free” by those not in the know, has become the land of taxes, mandates, regulations, laws without end, and less ’freedom’ every day.  The speech last night, is said to have lasted 49 minutes.  How much of that 49 minutes was pure B.S. and shallow applause?  I imagine half of it.  The Constitution says that the Congress, “Shall assemble at least once in every year.” (Article 1, Section 4, paragraph 2).  Article II, Section 3,  says “He (the President) shall from time to time give the Congress Information of the State of the Union.”  Naturally, this has blossomed into the nonsense Americans look at, examine, and publicize every year, when whoever the nut case is in the White House at the time, mounts the dais and expounds to everyone, a bunch of absolute trite nonsense, as happened Tuesday evening.

Bush would have been impeached long ago, except we would be left with Cheyney, and of course if he were impeached, it would be Polosi now, none of which is acceptable.  I have an idea.  Let’s all try real hard to get one name on the ballot next election.  Know what that is?  We should all be allowed to vote for “NONE OF THE ABOVE.”  Here’s another idea.  Let’s cease all salaries for Congress and President.  Let the Senators and Representatives pay their own way if they wish to serve their nation, and prohibit all laws giving anything to anyone at any time.  Oh how I would love to abolish 95% of the D.C. Gang’s bureaucracies, and fire millions of government employees.  Remember the “cabinet is not a Constitutional item, and neither are 95% of government actions.  The continual taxation of debasing our currency, is but one tiny part of the D.C. Gang’s continual theft from their constituencies.  No one escapes that tax.
