Wearing thin

I can’t blog about this damn health care bill. Don’t want it. Don’t need it. Reconciliation should not apply. Government takeover is the wrong approach. This merde has been going on for over a year now, and I’m pretty much out of patience. I’m tired of the lies, the posturing, the empty noise. The grandiose “summits” that are just more of the same.

Global Warming, Cap ‘n Trade, Health Care. There is no middle ground. Both sides are unwilling and unable to work together. It’s all politics and bribery. There is no discussion; it’s only talking heads mouthing empty talking points and throwing ad hominem attacks around. The nation is split and I don’t think there is anything that will heal the wound. Half the population pays no taxes yet has the right to vote, and they vote to keep their personal gravy train running. Always.

Want to read the latest, the one millionth go-round? And all the angry responses that will go unheeded? Have at it. Here. And here. And ten thousand other sites, where they are all preaching to the choir in front of empty pews. It’s a huge waste of effort. There is no compromise. One side wants to ram through their effort to “fundamentally change America” no matter what, and the other side is unwilling to swallow a small dose of poison instead of a big one. One side is traitorously wrong, and the other side has the worst PR folks since Jefferey Dalmer.

Fuck it. Get out the guns and let’s fight. To the bitter end. And then the survivors winners can have it their way. I really don’t care any more. I don’t want to live in their America, and they’ve been pushing for 100 years or more to turn my America into a socialist shithole utopia. The soap box doesn’t work; government doesn’t listen. People don’t listen. There is no actual debate, there is no actual understanding the other side’s views. Just empty talking points going back and forth forever. The ballot box doesn’t work; no matter who gets elected they immediately turn into corrupt porkaholics. The jury box? Puh-lease. That system is just as corrupt as the rest of the government. And let’s face it: those who make the laws are above them, because they control who will enforce them and how. Come on; do you have the slightest faith that Charlie Rangle is going to get fired for his “ethical lapses”, or go to jail for his tax evasion? Snowballs in Hell is the better bet.

That leaves only one box.

We need fundamental change in America. That’s right. We do. We need to dismantle the entire government and start over. Keep the Constitution and throw out almost all the rest. Government must be severely limited, and always curtailed. I’ve got a laundry list of repairs, repeals, fixes, and new approaches. So do you. The bottom line to each and every one is personal responsibility; the other side of freedom’s coin. Anathema to the commies on the left. But it’s the only way forward. Which means a whole lot of folks are going to have to stand on their own two feet. Or else they’re going to starve. Too bad. Maybe if we hadn’t destroyed the upper-lower and lower-middle classes by sending all our production jobs to fucking China and outsourcing all our smarts to India, because of anti-business taxes, environmental NIMBYism, union corruption, and genuine ethnic laziness, we wouldn’t be in this boat in the first place. But we are, and it’s sinking fast. So maybe it’s time to shoot all the rats that have spent generations gnawing at the timbers, and hope that tossing them overboard will let the old boat float a bit longer to give us time to patch the leaks. It might not. But I’m really tired of having my money taken to buy fancy cheese to feed those vermin.

To hell with it. I think I’ll go brine a chicken, and just watch old movies on TV. I can’t take this any more.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
