The cesspool that IS Congress

The 111th is almost down to a single digit approval rating

from JoeUser Forums

           I have been harangued for being a Republican Party hack on almost every article I have written, for what purpose I know not. As I see it, there is a right side, a left side and the middle. Don’t you have to pick one? But I place all three groups on the left side of the scale at present in the degrees one would expect.  I did not abandon the Republican Party; they abandoned me when they decided to use the Democrat Party play book. I will be the first to admit that there are a lot of criminals (most) in their supposedly conservative ranks and would like nothing more than to be rid of them all. Don’t even get me going on the corruption and criminality in the Democrat ranks.

          You need to understand that the Democrats control both veto proof Houses of Congress and the Presidency. What this means is that no one is allowed to levee charges against Congressional members without their express prompting. And we all know how well the both Parties clean out cesspools.

A quick search of Congressional Corruption produced “The 15 most corrupt members of Congress”, (2009)

Sen. Roland Burris      (D-IL)
Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL)
Rep. Alan B. Mollohan   (D-WV)
Rep. John P. Murtha     (D-PA)
Rep. Charles B. Rangel  (D-NY)
Rep. Laura Richardson   (D-CA)
Rep. Pete Visclosky     (D-IN)
Rep. Maxine Waters      (D-CA)
Rep. Vern Buchanan      (R-FL)
Rep. Ken Calvert        (R-CA)
Rep. Nathan Deal        (R-GA)
Sen. John Ensign        (R-NV)
Rep. Jerry Lewis        (R-CA)
Sen. Mitch McConnell    (R-KY)
Rep. Don Young          (R-AK)

          This list seems to transcend racial, sexual, persuasion and Party affiliation, as they all do. So why would Pelosi and Obama single out only black Democrats to face ethics charges. I think they have an upcoming election and a plan and racism will be the meat of it.  

          I would dearly love to see the whole list of 535 536, wouldn’t you? [435 in Congress, 100 in the Senate and the nincompoop in charge.]  These people and many others are and have been under investigation for years but to a person, feign outrage and discrimination at any mention of impropriety. Seems like the cesspool that IS Congress is in fact alive and well and prospering at our expense, regardless of Pelosi’s opinion.

          I am waiting for enough people to realize that our political structure is corrupt beyond repair and that we as Real Republican and Democrats actually have much more in common now than we have differences. This is expressed through the Tea Party Patriots around the country and other such grass roots movements. If we cannot get the criminal elements and racists out of our Government, we will never get to the minor philosophical differences that separate us as a free people.

Imagine a few election cycles where not one single incumbent gets re-elected. That would be a powerful message indeed.

I look forward to that day.

The only man-made fusion device yet to achieve ignition is the hydrogen bomb, but you can just take a 93 million mile jaunt and pick up a handful for yourself.

BT actually they have been able to achieve a controlled fusion (the Joint European Torus produced 16.1 megawatts of fusion power sustained for over 0.5 sec in 1997). Sustaining it is the problem. I hope they figure this one out because it will solve many problems but it still won't eliminate the need for oil.

Fission - Great when it can be developed many years from now. Though I suspect that will be NIMBY too

I worked on operating FISSION reactor for over 25 years ... future development? FUSION, that I could accept here ...

Yeah that's what I meant. Your mom and dad's video game purchases for you must have been wise ones. Thanks, now go look up communism and capitalism, since I'm still waiting for you to explain why you believe they are the same

How do you justify badmouthing others because they are willing to acknowledge the error you made ... so why the sarcasm?

I must have missed something above; I have to agree that the goals of Communism are virtually the same as for Capitalism; it is the methodology and the mindset that gives them any separation. But the goals are the same, just as it is for the world’s religions … complete and total subjugation of the as much of the world as possible. These entities EACH claim they and they alone are the truth and all others are wrong and inferior. Go figure! Not trying to get too deep here, not talking about morals or rightness (whatever that is); this is why I do my own research so that I can form my own opinions and not have them dictated to me.

I would say you have gone far afield of your original post.  But I will again correct something you are saying. Communism and Capitalism are not sentient organisms.  They are belief systems implemented by  man.  Those believers may - as you maintain - have the same goal, but the belief systems do not.

It is therefore incumbent on the believers to go about doing what you suggest.  However, while neither belief systems in theory have a singular head, the actual practice is that communism does, and capitalism does not.  It is therefore impossible for you to make the general statement you have given the history and actual implementation of the two systems.  in other words, you are wrong.

Capitalism does not attempt to subjugate the individual.  They attempt to monopolize markets. They care not about the rest of your life.  That some do care about the rest of your life is their mixing belief systems, not the belief systems itself.

I do not UNDERSTAND why it is so difficult for someone to just ask for clarification. The current process seemingly on JU is to assume whatever you want and run it for what it is worth. I do not mind being corrected when I make an error, but there must be some way for you to be upfront with whatever is bothering you so that I can respond. As it is, I guess we are now suppose we to argue over the differences between communism and democracy … oops ...

I see I used the word capitalism, bummer … I would think I intended to use democracy but I have the feeling that would not have changed much anyway.  Sorry … I will agree subjugate was a strong word but could be discussed.

What original post are you talking about, that would help too … I couldn’t find it, but then it is usually easier to have it pointed out, just a thought?

Huh, I do not believe that quote even belong here (don't ask me how I did it). You seem to know where it should be so maybe if you tell me ... at least I would know too. Sorry about the confusion ... now I am confused too, no problem, it has been presenting me some aggravation of late so I am used to it. ?????

The article itself. The one that generated the comments.

Yea, strange that huh. Like I said, I do not know why this comment was placed here ... it was obviously meant for another article??? Let me know if you can figure out where it was supposed to be pasted because I cannot.

I do have a plausible idea though ... I thought I was pasting something that had not yet been properly copied to my clipboard ... so it pasted whatever was there instead and I just missed it ... I have to slow down some I suppose and concentrate better (how?) ... just a WAG mind you.
