Some may argue that this Thread belongs in the Political Forum, rather than here in the News Forum. I would politely beg to differ. This is News for many who just are not aware of the Content, here; and also to those who have simply had their heads buried in the sand, to avoid thinking ill of our Government. Our Government, as originally Designed and Ordained, is the best possible form of Government ever designed by Human Beings. What it was Originally just is not what it has Morphed into now.

Congress was once a body of Common Citizens who did their Duty and went back to their Homes and Personal Endeavors after two terms at most,  Honest and Honorable Men, trusted by their Neighbors, Walking in their Integrity, and Jealous of their Good Name.

Now?  The Vast Majority are the Spawn of Elitists, with Ivy League Educations, schooled in Political Science, and that sealed with a Juris Doctorate.  Their Goal is to Rule, rather than to Serve.  And following that, they are not merely "out of touch" with the Common Citizen, but absolutely Despotic in all of their Attitudes.

Evil and Wicked Persons, they are.  Unfaithful to Humanity, and Treacherous in the execution of their Duty to the Constitution and its Principles under which this Nation was Established.

This Definition extends also to the Rank and File of the Bureaucracy underpinning our Government's Infrastructure.  The desire for Personal Gain and Security, by these who esteem themselves to be "above the frey," are maintained high above the Needs of the People. In this atmosphere of Elitism, the Tactic is to maintain Divisions among the Common Citizenry, so as to distract us from the ridiculous levels of Misfeasance and Malfeasance to which they are so Dedicated. To that end, there is often an ingredient added which is best defined as “Putting the desires of the Few above the needs of the many," easy for them, since it an adaptation of the Code by which they Themselves live.

My Fellow Americans . . . I am not calling for anything short of Getting Real about where we stand in the Eyes of those who call themselves the "Governing Body." We are the Government, and it behooves us to step up to the plate and clean up this mess. The Corruption is Entrenched and Pervasive . . . It will not be an easy task. Many will be unwilling to join the Movement because it will necessarily put an end to "Gimme" Programs, such as "Earmarks," Prejudicial Benefits, and manipulable Subsidies for Businesses.

If we do not turn this Corner now, we will not continue to be the United States of America . . . the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave.

Gee Whiz!  I hate to tell you something
that you should already know
. . . but . . .

There has never been a law
in the entire history of mankind
that has ever
prevented a crime!!

The only thing a law can do is
DEFINE THE CRIME,
and
PRESCRIBE THE PENALTY!!

Despite what the Liberals say,
each individual is responsible for the CHOICE.

I have been hearing a reporter giving a tease about a story that is planned to air on Fox13.

His question, loud and clear, is:
How is it that Sex Offenders on Probation are allowed to live in tents at a Campground for the Homeless?  How can that be their Address when they are supposed to be under Supervision by State Corrections Authorities, and the Sheriff's Department?

I am already of the opinion that a person with a Fifty Intelligence Quotient could spell it out where anyone could understand.  But, I will proceed, nonetheless;

1. Nobody: not the Lawmakers, not the Psychologists, and certainly not the Public, is willing to see that there is a difference between the "average" Sexual Offender and the "Predatory" Sexual Offender.
2. Nobody: not the Lawmakers, not the Psychologists, and certainly not the Public, is willing to allow these people to reintegrate into Society.
3. Nobody: not the Lawmakers, not the Psychologists, and certainly not the Public, is willing to allow these people to work and be productive Citizens.
4. Nobody: not the Lawmakers, not the Psychologists, and certainly not the Public, is willing to allow these people to live next door to them.

Actually, one does not even have to be a Sexual Offender to see this dynamic at work against them.  These sanctions are generally applied to most anyone who has ever been convicted of a Felony Offense.  People with a history of serious crime are no longer considered to be human beings, even if they have been going straight for years after they came out of Prison.

If you are not one who feels that way, and you don't happen to believe it is true, just call around to a half-dozen Employment Agencies and ask if they will place someone with a Felony Record.  I recently took such a poll for a friend who is on staff with an Employability Workshop, and I was stunned with the answers I received from the Agencies I contacted.

So, I ask you; if a Human Being is considered not a human being, and cannot find employment, and cannot pay for a place to live IF a place can be found, what are they going to do?  What can they do besides bum around and maybe panhandle for enough to but some food and beer, and live in a tent somewhere?

WAKE UP, PEOPLE!!  Don't you think they would be less likely to repeat their offenses if the were allowed to regain some of their Human Dignity, make an honest living, and go on toward a brighter future?  Evidently, that is what Congress believes in passing the Second Chance Act that was recently signed into Law by the President.

And the ones who repeated, in spite of the second chance given, would naturally be labeled as such, and be given harsher punishment.

Otherwise, what has happened to our concept of Human Rights and Human Dignity.  How can we possibly cry out about other Nations violating the Human Rights of their Citizens when 0.9% of American Citizens are CURRENTLY incarcerated?  That's approximately 27 MILLION in a Nation of 300 Million . . . IN JAIL RIGHT NOW!

Does that make you proud to be an American??
