There are some in the Republic that say they are fiscally
responsible and steadfast on having a limited government. So, why are they
trying to block President Obama's legislation regarding same sex marriage, when
in fact, President Obama has NOT proposed ANY legislation on same sex marriage?
Isn't it interesting that all these elected officials from the Tea Party are
attempting to “increase” government while spending billions of dollars to
define abortion, contraception and what constitutes marriage? They’re taking a
page from their hero, Ronald Reagan, who once stated “Government was the
problem”; but, he went on to increase government spending to record levels.
What we’re hearing is rhetoric that they don't believe.
When legislators strip the middle class and poor of what little resources they do have, ban compassionate people from feeding the homeless, cut funding for education while increasing funding for the construction of new prisons, allow Wall Street to devour people's life savings and look the other way while companies destroy the food and medicine and the environment with the stroke of a pen, you begin to understand the seriousness of this conundrum.
What have we become? Instead of moving forward and creating a better society, we resemble barbarians savagely attacking women, gays, lesbians, and minorities, the homeless and religious beliefs. It was my teaching that we were to evolve as a species, but at this moment we have sunken to a level just above crud and the stuff stuck on the side of our eyes when awakened from a long sleep. We are an apathetic society quickly eroding an already fragile foundation that keeps the Republic from falling over. Instead of ensuring that we don’t repeat the darkness of our past, we’re creating a future with frightening similarity.
Greed, apathy, bigotry and hate are attempting to crash the gates of compassion, wisdom, love and humility, while placing the Republic in the history books as a once great nation but no more and the evolution of humanity--regressing expeditiously.
