Failed Right Wing Policies and Whiny Liberals
I've been thinking about how much the republican party has given this country over they years. Where would we be without their influence and policies, their imposed moralities, their creative distribution of wealth from the working middle class to the super rich, and their ability to fool the average Joe six pack into believing in their cause as they rob them of not only everything he has but everything his children would have had. I'll tell you where we'd be....better off! Their final legacy will be the descending of this great nation into a third world country. Here are just a few of the wonderful things the republican party has given us over the last 20 years....
A 9 trillion dollar debt
A war in Iraq that has left our finances in shambles
Record size government
A government that now has the power to know whatever it wants about the personal lives of it's citizens
Corporate welfare that costs more than the welfare we give to our own poor
Trickle down economics that have proven time and again they don't work
Pseudo patriotism built on never questioning the government
A government that manipulates it's citizens with fear
Anti education, anti infrastructure, anti gay rights, anti women's rights, anti environment, anti dying people's rights, anti anything that does not serve the purpose of either the elite few or the ignorant moralities of the religious right
Savings and loan debacle that costs tax payers 5 billion dollars
The Iran Contra Affair
$4.00 a gallon gasoline
A dollar that is diminishing quickly against foreign currencies
A revision of bankruptcy laws that was a gift to the financial institutions
Less corporate regulations
Revising of scientific facts on global warming
The use of torture
Suspension of habeas corpus
Tax breaks in a time of war
Laws against getting prescription drugs from other countries....a gift to the pharmaceutical industry
A shortage of voting machines in democratic heavy districts in Ohio which led to the re-election of George Bush
Corporate tax breaks and incentives to ship jobs over seas
Failure to get Osama Bin Laden
Failure to enact any kind of energy policy other than ones that help big oil
And these are just the ones I'm aware of! These kinds of policies, inactions, and out right lies are the seeds that may very well spell the end of life as we know it in America. And the funny part is, when you dare to bring any of these things up, you are labeled a whiny liberal. Guess I'm a whiny liberal. I wish there were more whiny liberals. I'll bet that England once called us the "whiny colonist's".
