I’m Ashamed Of Our Goverment

Our elected officials are a disgrace to our great Country, conservative and liberal alike.
We have elected representatives that talk about the difference between rape and legitimate rape…there is only one kind of rape…ONE.
The White House threatens a member of the press if their agenda is called out as false.

Our press is a disgrace and has proven themselves that their agenda is for sale: The right-FOX and the left- NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN…you name it.

Every legal immigrant should be ashamed of their adopted country because The President and his immigration policy has disenfranchised them and the process to become legal.

Our First Amendment has been quietly squashed by both parties and the White House. Yes, it’s only when Secret Service is around but it's an easy thing to put Secret Service where they (whom ever is in charge at the time) deem the threat of free speech. Both parties passed this, not one.

Our Second Amendment is not being squashed but it’s been put to task through fear. The Second Amendment is not about hunting. It’s for the protection of we the people to stop a government that attacks it’s people.
Did you know there is a town in Alabama that want’s to sign a law that will give the police the right to take away peoples weapons during a crisis or emergency. There is documentation (video) of authorities taking legally owned weapons by non-criminals after Katrina. 

The sequestration was passed by both parties and signed by the White House.  Be mad at both parties.
Sadly one party wants a reduction in spending, not the spending we all ready have but the proposed INCREASE of the INCREASE in spending. The President also wants to raise taxes…again…to pay for part of that INCREASE  of the INCREASE in proposed spending.
Our budget needs to be cut...not increased.
How do we cut it though?
This is a sweeping problem across the board with both parties…

Nobody wants a project or such cut in their state…that might cut jobs…Or a cut in anything that could potentially take their vote away…

Our DOD budget is out of control.
One way to cut it is to get rid of Commissaries, BX/PX and NEX’s on CONUS. Moving Military members every 2, 3 or 4 years costs money…awhile ago there was a try at ‘homesteading’ …where Military members could stay at one assignment for an extended amount of time. It doesn’t work for the majority of the Military though because to get promoted you have to get boxes checked and the only way to do that is to move around from position to position.
There are probably a billion ways to cut the DOD budget but it would take common sense…Part of the problem is our elected officials…again…They have a military installation in their state that provides jobs…don’t cut that because it’s their backyard, their state.
Our DOD is a bloated mess.

The Affordable Health Care Act is not affordable, it’s socialized medicine. Some people think it’s great, others see it as an expensive burden. In the long term I believe the majority of Americans will see this as a burden even those that see it as great now.

To many people on the left and the right have blinders on and are seeing only that which suits their agenda or that what goes against their agenda.
That said there are people who think we are moving in the correct direction...
The direction where our Constitution is dismissed when it doesn’t go along with what they see as correct. Where the Federal/State Government pico legislate our lives.  

Some of our elected officials will pay the price at the next election by not being re-elected but it takes We The People and common sense to do this…
I’m afraid common sense isn’t common though...

I’m proud to be an American but I’m ashamed of our Government.
