Commoners' Ultimatum

Since all the not-so-new-anymore Administration's plans all promised to take a while, but work out in the end, then I have a suggestion of my own I'll just throw how in the air up there. Why don't we stop worrying so much about how prisoners are treated (fed, bed, not dead? good.), give money back to our SCHOOLS, so children can stop sharing mathbooks that neither has ever brought home in their lifetime because there simply isn't enough to go around, and EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN, put THEM back out into the workforce educated, and let everyone be ready to SACRIFICE a little personal comfort between now and then, and stop living so extravagantly and playing the violins while the ship is cracking half and sinking. Then when we have educated the future leaders, on MORE THAN REVOLUTIONS AND HOW TO TEAR DOWN SOCIETIES, but stuff like, uh, math, science, history, and English, we let them give us some fresh ideas for how to do some things. We're already laying a Biblically-sized financial burden on their shoulders, we need to quit messing around and get some stuff done, and face that we have just let things get out of hand. This includes myself and the rest of the general population of started feeling like the Jetsons and like everything had to be so easy-breezy-leisurely. What happened to that pioneer spirit of our ancestors? Where are the daughters of ROSIE THE RIVETER and the sons of the DOUGHBOYS? Where is that same strength of character and patriotic pride and strong faith that is the backbone of what this society is?

I am so tired of listening to politicians bloviate about NOTHING, and then blow smoke up each others' butts when they need something from each other, and meanwhile we're down here paying their EXHORBITANT, SELF-DECLARED salaries from our pocketbooks. It's time someone step up who is willing to make a decent living, but not live like a king, and make all the other politicians do the same thing, and stop with incredibly irresponsible wasteful spending on things that are simply ludicrous, and giving money to government programs that are allowing a PRIVILEGED few to sit on their butts and live off society. We are tired of being bled dry. We are tired of paying huge co-pays an premiums to go get our ulcers treaed so we can truck it back up there to the old salt grind to earn some money to put some bread on our table and fill rich politicians' pockets. It's wrong, and IT SHOULD END TODAY. We are tired of being told you'll pass a bill so we, the ignorant and uninformed, can know what's in it. PASS A BILL THAT WILL AFFECT OUR LIVES BEFORE WE CAN READ IT? Have all the proponents of this gargantuan piece of legislature even TRIED to read this thing before being the official cheerleaders on it's behalf? I got to page twenty-seven and was nearly blind, and had 'I don't even know how many' other documents that were footnoted in the healthcare bill to explain certain portions contained therein. It was confusing beyond belief. And then we are encouraged by the audacity of the senator who is righteously unrememerable but who told the American public the representatives who were signing it had NOT read it because it was written by, and supposed to be read by, a BUNCH OF LAWYERS. This particular gentleman himself was a lawyer. This is the kind of blatant, non-chalant entitlement attitude we have come to resent in our politicians and those who are succubbusses on the public dime. We are tired of being forced to pay for government programs we don't like, ALL OF US. Whether we are black or white, young or old, atheist or Christian, man or woman, Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, we can all agree on one thing: We are ready for REPRESENTATIVES, NOT LEADERS, who are willing to work for a fair wage, just like the rest of us do, and engage in the activity of working to suit the larger body of people they represent, NOT WORK FOR THEIR OWN END OR JUST TO SUIT THEIR OWN DESIGN, and work on behalf of the people entirely and solely, and be willing to not bend or sway with public opinion or trending emotions but to stand firm in his or her steadfast beliefs and those beliefs for which he or she presented himself as being in possession of at the time of being duly appointed by the people to act solely on their benefit and behalf and behalf of the morals and values for which they stand as a whole, and not engage in any party activities that do not directly support and uphold the wishes and directives of the people represented.

We are tired of being subjected to class warfare by spiteful, warring politicians who are just out to keep themselves in Italian suits an summer homes. Most of us don't have summer homes, and you shouldn't get to just because you're a politician, because that should mean a true SERVANT of the people, which is not quite the same as the currently popular LEADERS. Healthy, functional people who are allowed to sign legal contracts are responsible for themselves and do not lead to be LEAD AROUND, rather, they need a central figure to represent them before a central governing body. This terminal mentality we are born with the right to be taken care of our whole lives is ludicrous. Cavemen didn't have a government to take care of them, and they are not to be pitied or considered lacking, rather they were responsible for themselves and a government body giving them assistance would really have done them no good, nor would they have understood it. It is only here, in a our ever-more apathetic society, have we become not even so capable as cavemen to care for ourselves, rather needing an adult babysitting agency to do it.

We are tired of seeing our minorities being physically imprisoned by 'leaders' in their respective communities who are merely snake-oil salesmen with PDAs who benefit themselves off the chronic poverty of their brothers. We have more respect for these people than they will ever realize, and it's sad they turn to these hate-mongering truth-twisters for their leadership. These people are snakes, and they do not care about the people they supposedly 'organize', and thank goodness there are a growing number of people in these communities who are realizing this and trying to educate the neighbors.

We are tired of getting the runaround, period. We are ready for a representative who we do what we want, what we say, what we regard as right, not because he or she is forced to, but because it is their shared belief. We want representatives who have beliefs, have morals, have values, of SOME sort, and these values are firm and do not sway with the tide of popular emotional sway. We want representatives who value the same traditions, protocols and expectations of human behavior as we hold dear, and live by these as stringently as would be expected of any public figure who is a role model for strength of character and representative wherewithall.

We want honesty, truth, purpose, and a straight moral compass. We want transparency within reason, and we a mutual respect of the ideals that are the backbone of who we are.
