Since the incumbents will never give up their privileges, much less impose term limits on themselves, the only solution is to vote out incumbents every chance you get. Like tomorrow. No exceptions. Party makes no difference. Constant rotation will give them less time to steal.
But vote conservative when you can. Why? Because, as PJMedia columnist Richard Fernandez puts it: “Even though most politicians are scumbags, conservatives tend to be less scumbaggy simply because the media is always out to get them. They are literally held to a higher standard and consequently, some of them actually rise to it, albeit unwillingly in many cases. But whatever, as long as it works.”
Interesting how whenever Israel fights back against the arabs who like to call themselves Palestinians the haters come out of the woodwork, like cockroaches in the dark. Especially those in the State Department who suddenly are fearful for civilians who might get hurt. Having long ignored the civilians under the gun in Syria, North Korea, Iran, etc. These cockroaches really do miss the Holocaust.
In the old days of sink or swim in newsrooms, before journo degrees became required and “diversity” led to hand-holding of new hires, you’d have been hard-pressed to find a hundred dollar bill in a wallet. Or a woman. Clouds of cigar smoke hung in the air, cigarettes were stomped out on the linoleum floor and pint whiskey bottles were not uncommon in lower desk drawers.
Wait’ll the Queen of Benghazi gets in, then the modern journos’ll be saying how careful they have to be in criticizing a woman. The journos are always looking for an excuse to do nothing but report the latest celebrity whatever.
You can still see the occasional old sedan with two dead deer atop it in the Hill Country during deer season. Not as many as forty years ago. More often now it would be a pickup with the tailgate down.
Anyone who lives in New Jersey and follows the news knows about the New York Time’s constant, egregious errors and bias. Only those beyond NJ are inclined to believe it pure.
I don’t expect the White Houses geniuses, who call names and flip the bird like middle-schoolers on the playground, are smart enough to read Dilbert.
Not sure how far back you want to go to “used to be”, but it wasn’t so long ago (to us in our 70s) that America was segregated, sexist, queer-hating, at least as conformist as now (but in different ways) and a whole lot poorer.
Politicians have always lied, stolen, over-reached and been feared as the final nail in society’s coffin. Perspective, people, we need perspective.
The Democrat snoozemedia is convinced that Obamacare will be fixed someday soon. More likely never is my bet. It’s that 10,500-page rule book that’s killing it. Pols always do themselves in. Their over-reach is our saving grace.
