A major shitload of cash has gone to openly paying off some of these dangerous "Warlords" or "Tribal Chiefs" or whatever you want to call these lawless, immoral, murdering scum. These warlords are then suddenly considered to be our new "allies" - what the brass has since realized just isn't true. You cannot buy loyalty from these people, or any other people for that matter.
I guess these huge payoffs are now an acceptable form of warfare. This practice is "acceptable" to the people at the helm of this shitstorm I should point out, because it sure as hell isn't acceptable to me personally. Of course nobody asked me, and my view that a bullet is cheaper probably wouldn't garner a lot of support amongst politicians, people whose main focus in life is to get themselves re-elected.
Maybe my opinion that paying these people is akin to bribery will be more acceptable. Acceptable to us regular "U.S. Citizens" as we all know bribery is a politician's Christmas.
These same politicians finally passed the 1st Responders Health care Bill in the House of Representatives yesterday. This is, of course, funding for the people that had their health ruined by the toxicity of the environment that once was the World Trade Center. George W. Bush's self appointed head of the E.P.A., Christie Todd Whitman gave the "All Clear" announcement that the air around ground zero was not dangerous for the workers. Many of these workers were volunteers. Many of them are now dead and/or dying slow horrible deaths. They need and they certainly deserve proper health care from their, from our (us Americans) government.
The news media proclaimed the passage of this bill to be "Historic". How is finally doing the right thing, the humane thing, nine fucking years too late I might add, "Historic"? The politicians involved in trying to quash this bill are overwhelmingly Republican. I try to understand the game of politics and the concept and reasoning behind towing the party line. However, how can any American deny health care to the selfless heroes that were trying to perform miracles in what was the most horrible crime scene on earth at the time?
And I sure as fuck (do I sound pissed?) don't have to remind anyone of how the country felt about what took place on 9/11.
Well I can't hold it in any longer! I'm sick to fucking death of people like this walking sack of shit politician from fucking Texas that thinks paying for health care to the "9/11 First Responders Health Bill" is just another example of Congress' appetite for taxpayer dollars.
I'm writing about Rep. Lamar Smith, Republican from Texas. An esteemed fuckwad that has voted for nothing but issues that affect his fellow Republicans pockets. He hardly ever votes at all and when he does it's usually against some bill written to help Americans like the first Responders or our U.S. Military enlisted personnel. He had the fucking unmitigated audacity to get up in front of Congress and the world yesterday and decry the 1st Responder Health care Act as a waste of money.
How can this piece of shit that has voted for pumping billions of dollars into the "War on Drugs" condemn this comparably minuscule amount of funding? If he thinks we don't notice that he is from a state that is considered the most dangerous "Drug War Borders" he is sadly mistaken. His state gets a shitload of funding for this clusterfuck they're running (and losing horribly) down there in Good 'Ole Boy land. The home of George W. Bush.
So is the "War on Drugs" any different than any other war? I guess Rep. Lamar Smith (R) Texas likes his Wars in his own back yard where he can profit from them. Why the hell else do politicians make these bogus statements about their views on funding certain initiatives? Loyalty (keeping your mouth shut) and the party line, which, when it comes right down to it, is all about money. I'm including the lust for power in this stinking heap of political motivations also, some people have so much dough, billions in some cases, must still be in the game for power.
I mean, can you really enjoy hundreds of millions of dollars if you work ninety hours a week? Not by my definition of "enjoy" anyways!
It is really making it tough for the entire country when these fucking politicians, all of them, do nothing but play the party game, tow the party line. This is for their own selfish reasons and doesn't do one iota of good for our country. This great superpower cannot agree on any new important issues because there will always be the politicians that vote the "line" no matter what the issue on hand is.
Where is this going to get us folks?
When pols like Rep. Lamar Smith (R) Texas vote down a bill because he said it would invite abuse and corruption I think he just means there's going to be some money floating around that he can't divert to Texas for his buddies. I'm not saying it's all the fault of the Republicans, it's not. They just happen to try their damnedest to kill a bill that should have been passed easily, a no-brainer. This issue should have never been partisan.
Just compare the funding amount to other "bridges to nowhere" and you'll see that in the long run killing this bill is not about the health care that is needed. It's about pols like this shithead Lamar Smith that are stagnating our country because their side didn't win the election and some colored guy did.
When we finally do learn how these two parties can both work together for the good of the country and its citizens the U.S. will be unstoppable. We'll be able to return the word "pride" back to our description of our government.
Didn't a very wise (stoned and beaten) man once say "Can't we all just get along?".
Or was it "Can't we all just do a bong"? I forget.
Selah.
Author's notes:A 2008 study by Harvard economist Jeffrey A. Miron has estimated that legalizing drugs would inject $76.8 billion a year into the U.S. economy — $44.1 billion from law enforcement savings, and at least $32.7 billion in tax revenue ($6.7 billion from marijuana alone.
