“What the bleep is going on?”
From time to time, on my
radio show, people send me stuff to write about. One of the most common questions is why
doesn't the Congress do what it's supposed to do? A few topics that are suggested to look into
are: voter fraud, which seems to have been swept under the rug; impeaching the
president and this one, which really surprised me...re-instituting the
draft. I don't know about all the people
in the US of A, but from what my mail says, there's a heck of a lot of them
that are just absolutely fed up with the way the country is moving. The downward spiral we're on can only have
one ending, and that would be with America becoming a second, or
third-rate, power. Remember the movie
"Network" and the scene where Peter Finch tells his audience to go to
the window and tell the world that "you're mad as hell and you're not going
to take it anymore"? That's about
where we are now, folks.
Let's look at these suggested topics and see what we can
discover. Voter fraud is always a hot
topic when the numbers seem to be skewed way out of proportion, which they were
in the 2012 presidential election. But,
why hasn't anything been done, you may ask?
Here then, for your consideration, is a legal reason behind the
inactivity in this area. Way back in
1982 the Republican National Committee sued the Democratic National Committee
over voter fraud. The judge eventually
decided that the RNC could NOT sue the DNC about voter fraud. The case was brought up on appeal in 2012,
and denied. That, in a nutshell, is why
voter fraud goes on and Republicans cannot do anything about it. This is simplification of the case, but
that's it.
Impeachment...now there's a topic we can sink our teeth
in, right? Maybe not. There's an awful lot of paperwork involved,
much political posturing and postulating and in the end, what have you
got? The documents covering impeachment
of a president may cite "high crimes and misdemeanors" as the reason
for the impeachment, but what exactly does that phrase mean? To the best of my, or anyone's, knowledge, it
has never been defined exactly. That's
not to say that it cannot be done because it's been done twice before. So, once the House of Representatives decides
to go ahead with impeachment they send the paperwork to the Senate and, as
things stand now, that's where it will die a quick death.
With the recent suggestion of a draw-down of our
military, it would seem to be counter-productive to be talking about
reinstituting the draft, huh? My
personal opinion is that we need a larger military and a smaller government,
and judging by the mail I get, a lot of people agree. If the question were put into a national
referendum, what do you think the majority would say? Since I'm a conservative and people writing
me are, probably, like-minded, my views are understandably in the minority
because of the results of the last election.
Still, the American people do not deserve to be treated like sheep even
though they act that way. Strong voices
should be heard because we need to survive as a nation. The rest of the world looks to us for
guidance and lately we've screwed up.
