Jack & Jill Politics

But the decision of greed was made by the past government. Don't you get it? If the root rots the whole tooth is doomed to go. Me, Me, Me! That seems to be the only thing that conservatives consider. If the man on the bottom can do better than the top has to grow strong. I can't understand why just common sense wouldn't tell you that. Any simpleton, well not any simpleton, should be able to get that. Trickle down, which was the myth of Regonomics governing style, has never trickled. It only allowed people to feel entitled to be greedy and see it as an asset, which has caused a great many of the problems today. That has caused the necessity for the government today to step and in and try to bing us back into a era where there must be rules and regulations enacted because the people have lost all sense of right, wrong, inclusion, humanity. That kind of government has only proved to develop people like you who champion a have/have not society. Now that is the doomed one. Take off the blinders. You are advocating a class envy society. People who feel that they are the only ones with entitlement. Also contrary to your beliefs that racism has lost it's slot on the agenda of things necessary! Obviously, you have not been keeping up. In the southern states, racism has either kept its place on the agenda or moved up to the top of the agenda. Like conservatism, someone else must be held back in order for those of entitlement to move ahead. Without this stipulation, those who are ahead will lose their place in a fair and just society. Those who exspouse the “pull youself up by your bootstraps” are not, themselves, able to compete with those who HAVE “pulled themselves up by their bootstraps”. The government has helped to create ideals such as yours and so the government has to be the one to step in and undo the injustice that was done. Believe in yourself. Know that you can succeed and help others succeed as well. Our country has been destroying itself from within, without the help of any outsides forces. The things that you espouse are the values of selfishness. You must learn that you have to open your hand to give as well as to recieve. Things your parents should have taught you in childhood. Greed, my friend, is one of the 7 deadly sins.

Unfortunely, or fortunately, I garnered all that from living a pretty long and rewarding life here in America and from trying to be the best person that I can according to something you conservatives are know for, from the bible. The only people who seem to constantly read and dissect Marx, Hitler and all the others are the very people who espouse the things that you do and who secretly hold great admiration for these people. It didn't take any of these people to teach me anything. My dear parents taught me , even as they endured the degredations of segregation and its brutal treatments in a country that I love and a place that I call home. There is absolutly nothing that any of the people that you have named could have done to some people in this country that was worse than slavery and the practice of Jim Crow. I have no need to call up ghosts from other nations to create scare tactics used by those continents away. I have only to look within my own country to develop my character of what is right and wrong and how to care about my countrymen. I've never had the need to put others down to lift myself up. What is so sad is that you and your ilk haven't spent enough time studying American History and learning the lessons that it should have taught you. you must be a terribly unhappy person and I do hope that you will find peace in your life one day. I think the time has come for us to put this conversation to rest as we have reached to point to agree to disagree. Nice chating with you.

“I've never had the need to put others down to lift myself up.”

But alas, you do. It's today's politics. It's the politics of race which you try to use to your advantage. My upbringing may have nothing to do with my political stand, but you would impugn both for your political purposes. If you personally knew me or my family then I could accept you criticism at face value….but it might as well be “your mama so ugly…” next. Adieu
