Feeling Ignored?

Liberals are not going to listen to you! Want some proof? Every time they allow people to actually vote on an idea and it results in an outcome they don't like, it is immediately taken to the courts. They're like the spoiled kid that gets a "no" from dad, so then proceeds to ask mom the very same question (something I never once attempted in childhood.)

The latest example is what took place with the election results that banned gay marriage in Arizona, California, and Florida. As a matter of fact, Arizona and California have already turned down this proposal once before. The liberals and the gay mob didn't like what the people had to say the first time, so they just demanded a "do-over." Unfortunately for them, the people gave them the same answer again. So, in the natural course of events, this vote "by the people" is now being appealed in the judicial system.

Wouldn't it be much easier to accept the will of the people and just give up on this one? One would seem to think so. However, those leftists trying to force the homosexual agenda on America refuse to see it that way.

Another example of the deafness of the left can be seen in the way that the bailouts are being handled. As if Americans weren't outraged enough by the initial bailout to the banks, these big government politicians seem to feel that we want them to give more of our tax dollars to failing, poorly run businesses. Doesn't it make sense that if we thought Ford, AIG, GM, and the others were worthy of our money, we would already be utilizing the goods and services they offer? If that were the case, they wouldn't even be considering asking for a government rescue.

In the case of the auto makers, the American people are making their voices heard with their wallets by saying their products aren't good enough to buy at current prices. Maybe a $40,000 Chevrolet truck is not really worth that much money. If Toyota and Honda are able to more effectively control production costs and ultimately be more profitable because of it, shouldn't they be allowed to rise in the industry? In some places, I think that's what is commonly referred to as the "free market." Furthermore, I can't even begin to describe how grossly unfair and unconstitutional it is that the government would step in and prop up only certain failing businesses of their choosing. I guess that fact is so ridiculously obvious that it has eventually become hard to comprehend.

FWIW: B. Hussein Obama is currently preparing another economic stimulus plan that will cost us an additional $800 billion. Yippee!!!

In spite of all that, I do understand that it's not just the Democrats who are ignoring the views of the people on the current bailouts. There are way too many Republicans who jumped on that bandwagon, too. The most disappointing of all was President Bush himself, who with many others in his party seemed to throw a lot of their conservative principles out the window on this one. But in the end, the majority of men and women in Congress whose voices did seem to reflect the sentiment of the American people were sitting on the right side of the aisle (links and references available here.)

It really is completely our own fault, though. We are the ones who keep putting these apathetic dirt bags back in power. In fact, I noticed that nearly every, and possibly all, incumbent Congressman in Tennessee retained his or her seat. I can't help but assume that this is only due to name recognition and not necessarily support of one's policies. As you saw in one of the videos fromy my last post, people (especially democrat voters) seem to know very, very little about a politician's specific policies. I suppose that sometimes it is just cool to vote for a certain candidate...everyone in Hollywood is doing it!
