Wow
Its been awhile, but that just means theres more to discuss!
First and foremost my heart goes out to the family of Sarah Lunde, there does not exist a set of words that can fill the void left by a child's early passage.
One of the most important, and non-partisan, issues that will be facing the Florida legislature will be the strenghtening of current sex offender laws to better track and follow registered sex offenders and predators. The current state of affairs cannot continue, innocent children need not die because of lax laws and the mistakes of the government entrusted with their protection.
OK, on to politics...
Tom DeLay is up first. He is a common sight these days in the liberal reality, poking his head into a new area known in the conservative world as "Judicial Activism." What is Judicial Activism? Well, according to our good friends in Capitol Hill, this is when a Judge, or group of judges, decides that the law is important and rules against the emotions of the population, even a small controlling minority such as the Right-wing conservatives. These "ultra-liberal" and "anti-american" judges includes The Honorable Judge Greer. The very same judge who ruled in the Terri Schiavo case along with 23 other state and federal courts, including the oh-so-flaming-liberal US Supreme Court. In addition to being a card-carrying republican, Judge greer is a baptist. Well, he was a baptist until his church asked him to leave because of his recent rulings. Anyway, they are the current target for Congress.
Majority Leader DeLay has some other problems though...
Apparently those little ethics rules that the House is supposed to follow dont apply to Mr. DeLay, or so he thought when he broke nearly 10 different rules concerning contributions, travel, and personal expenses. Hmm...sounds very moral and valuable. Im sure Terri would be pleased to hear that her biggest advocate is also a Felon who has broken the law and the rules of the United State Congress. It is merely a continuation of a theory long followed here in the Liberal Reality. If you are a republican the rules do not apply to you. You can give no-bid contracts to your buddies (Dick), you can support american jobs while allowing and encouraging their outsourcing to other nations (George and Dick), and of course you can have your federal case thrown out of the supreme court by taking someone on a trip (Dick and Antonin). But of course, if you are elected to lead a group of elected officials it is ok to break the rules of a committee you have full control of (Tom).
It seems all we have left for every Tom, Dick, and Harry out there is the simplicity found in their ability to break the rules and call it "fair" and further the cause by attacking the other side of the political spectrum that seeks nothing more than fair treatment for everyone and a little LIBERTY, PEACE, and JUSTICE. look up these words and try to apply them to the Republican party of today. Once they did this, but now it is nothing more than an empty clause for a party full of empty leaders.
Thanks to the 51% of America that chose this path. Because of you the other 49.9% has to live with higher gas prices, a two-year war, a political divide, and of course the most corrupt leadership since Harding. What did harding do? Think back to history class. Oh. wait. If you belong in the American public education system we emphasize math and science while pulling funding that supports social sciences that promote an understanding of our world. and peoples. Oh well, maybe college can help if you can afford it.
The atrocity facing America today is stuck with us until at least 2006. We must stand together and prepare as best we can to take this battle to the ground from our cities to our state offices until we have allowed the people to reclaim the White House and The Hill.
Politics in America is in a new phase. A phase without debate and discussion. This is not the America I once heard of, the one where political parties compromised and debated. Civility ruled the day, not petty comments and empty threats.
Lady Liberty, Uncle Sam, Where have you gone?
Rage, Rage against the dying of the light.
Goodnight.
