Today, I'm addressing all the democrat senators out there who have fled their state or are planning to flee their state in order to block the new "Right to Work" laws from being voted on. Then I will address the republican senators in these states and end with a few comments to the people that read this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Democrat Senators,
You were put into office to vote either for or against the bills, laws and legislation that are put before you, as well as to introduce new bills, laws and legislation. You are currently being paid by the tax payers of your state to fulfill this duty. It's really that simple. It's not even a hard job. The hardest part is understanding all the legal language in these documents and I understand that the double talk can get confusing. But, most of you have people who read these documents for you and tell you what they say by breaking it down into simple english. So when you think about it, all you have to do (and get paid to do) is say yes or no.
If either yes or no aren't good enough, you then have the option of presenting ideas that will be taken by the people that work under you, who then turn them into amendments that you get to present for more (are you ready for it?) yes or no votes.
"Well, you're over simplifying the work we do!" is probably what you are saying to yourself at the moment. I will admit, I am simplifying it a little, but not a lot. Even the long drawn out speeches you give aren't even written by you. Once again you fall back on the people under you to do all the work. You are nothing more then a face to present a collective view.
Now to be fair, it is the same on the other side of the isle. The republicans are just like you, they have people under them that do all the work, while they just present it and vote on it. The key difference is, the republicans are actually doing what they are paid to by showing up to vote and debate. They aren't trying to shut the government down by fleeing so that they can avoid the issues that they have been paid to deal with.
You, on the other hand, have been running away from your responsibilities like a thief running from a police dog. You have fled your states, running to states that have democrat governors out of fear that if you go to the red states you will be detained by the troopers in that state, the shipped back to your state where you will be forced to do your job. Oh the humanity!
Now, I understand protesting a bill by refusing to vote, I do... just not when it is going to lock up the system. Doing so while still accepting pay has made you all into a bunch of freeloaders. You are no better then the people who abuse the welfare system just because they don't want to be responsible citizens (I am only talking about the ones that abuse, not the ones that actually need it). You have made yourselves a parasite upon the tax payers of your state and you should be ashamed.
I hope the people in your state see exactly what you are doing and how you are stealing from them. If they do, then you are screwed. If they do, come next election cycle, this will hang like a cloud over your head as you are cast down from your high and mighty perch to the streets below. If they do, you will become a footnote in the pages of history, perhaps even forgotten all together.
You will destroy yourselves and the party you represent if you continue along this destructive path.
Sincerely,
Princess Arylin
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Republican Senators,
Thank you for coming to work even when your democrat colleges refuse. You are showing the tax payers in your state that you actually care about the work you were sent to do for your state. You are doing what many people feel is the right thing by sticking to your guns and not caving. Make sure that the people know that you are doing what you were sent to do and you will not back down because this is what the people of your state demanded.
Also, be sympathetic to those that disagree with you, empathize. Let them know that you understand their concerns and will address them as best as you can. But do not cave on your principles, that is what got you in trouble the last time. If you give in and let yourselves be overrun you will not get a second chance.
You have a lot to prove and make up for in the eyes of the people. Trying to pass as "At least I'm not as bad as the democrats are!" isn't going to cut it. You need to show the people that you have backbones, that you aren't going to just bend over and take it any more. Stand and fight.
Now is the time to prove yourselves.
Sincerely,
Princess Arylin
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are at a time where our country has a lot of important decisions to make. We, as citizens of this great nation, have to stand up and let our leaders know where we stand. If we sit by passively, let the minority of people who want to see the US go the way of Europe take control and overrun our state houses and our national capital, then we deserve to fall. But I have faith that we as Americans are better then that. We will stand up and fight for every inch of ground. We persist. We do not back down. We will prevail.
We must not allow the self-destructive policies that have been pushing up to the brink to continue. We must use the power of the vote and throw the people (both democrat and republican) out of office that have brought up to this place. We must draw the line and be ready to defend it at all costs.

The Great Education Heist
Anyone who has been paying attention should know about the current teachers strike up in Wisconsin. The teachers union in the state has a bunch of it's members crying bloody murder because of legislation to end collective bargaining (In fact, some of the teachers have gone so far as to bring in their students so they can hide behind them, students that have no clue why they are there.). Anyone with half a brain knows this will cripple the unions in that state and if it can be passed there, it can potentially pass anywhere in the US. That makes it a threat to unions everywhere.
Obviously, you can't expect the unions to sit back and just take this. They are, when you think about it, fighting for their continued existence as they currently are. In fact, the unions are so afraid of this passing that they have started shipping in people from other states to build numbers. If this law passes the union powerhouses will be a thing of the past, at least in Wisconsin. This much is true, but there is a lot of misinformation out there trying to cover the truth of what is happening.
The unions claim that if this law passes, union workers (teachers being the main target here) will start being fired left and right, that they will have their pension plans stripped from them and that they will lose all the benefits they have worked to earn.
Take this into consideration, IF the law passes and the state starts firing teachers without regard to their service or abilities, the state will just cripple itself. For this reason, the only teachers that should have anything to fear are the ones that are just crappy teachers. My personal opinion is that all the teachers that lied about being sick just so they could go on strike and protest at the capital are the bottom of the dung pile. They are the ones that must realize they are such horrible teachers that they feel the only way to keep their jobs is to try to bully the state government. These are the one hiding behind the kids they teach (mean while these days that the teachers are on strike count as snow days. Poor kids, don't realize this is just going to make the school year last longer and longer.).
Also, if all the teachers were to have their pension plans stripped away, how would the state be able to bring in bright new teachers to educate the children? Wisconsin would have no way to stay competitive in the field of education if they were to do this. Anyone who really believes the state would hurt itself like this is an idiot. All the state wants to do is require the teachers to pay 5.8% into their pensions so that the state can devote the difference in tax money to the hole the state is in. For that matter, it is only a less then 1% change to the take home pay of the teachers. I realize that that will be a little pinch in the pocket, but if it allows the state (provided they do what they say they want to with the money) to dig it's way out of the financial hole it is in, it will be worth it in the long run. I'll go so far as to say, it will help the students that these teachers claim to care about so much.
On top of all this idiocy, the state Democrats have fled the state in order prevent having to sit down and make a decision on where they stand on the law. By fleeing they have locked up the process they claim they strive to respect. They are making a mockery of the legislative process by doing this and I think the next law that needs to be implemented after this one passes is one that requires by law, senators to show up to votes they have been informed about. If they don't show to vote, then they should not get a vote. It's that simple. They are still getting paid to do their job, yet like these teachers, they are refusing to do what they are getting paid to do. If I were to do this I know what would happen to me.... I would be fired faster then I could blink.
While I think Governor Walker is doing a superb job not backing down, in fact, I think he should go one step further. I think he should do what President Reagan did when PATCO went on strike in 1981. Governor Walker should give the teachers 48 hours to return to work, if they refuse then they should be fired. The state should not waste anymore money on people who aren't willing to do the job they agreed to do when hired. There is an overabundance of teachers out there looking for work so it wouldn't be hard to find replacement teachers.
Think about what the children are learning from this strike. This strike (if it succeeds) will teach these kids that if they complain loud enough they can get away with anything. This warped sense of reality will cripple them when it comes to the professional world. They will grow up thinking they should be given hand outs for nothing and there should be no repercussions. This line of thinking will lead to a whole generation of losers who don't have a clue and will destroy themselves.
Also any of the children that are affected by this strike, have something to hold over their teachers heads. After all, how can these teachers expect to punish these kids for anything. They have set an example for these children that says you should be rewarded for acting out. This is the wrong message to be sending such impressionable minds.
Lastly, Mr. Obama.... I hate having to single you out..... again. This is what is referred to as internal state politics. You have no business in them. Learn your place, because apparently you don't know it. Stay out of states rights, you have no place there. If asked your opinion, that is one thing, but you weren't. You jumped right in and started to chastise the Governor for sticking to his guns even though he is in the right. You offered support to the people who are are trying to break the system, which as far as I'm considered that is like the equivalency of you coming out in support of Al-Qaeda. You might want to think about where you stand, because it sure looks like you want to destroy the system that makes this country great. Stop aiding this heist of our education system.

The Bullet Trains to nowhere
I don't know if anyone who reads this blog has heard about the Presidents grand plan for a bullet trains here in the good ole US of A, so if you haven't let me bring you up to speed. The President wants to put am $8 billion (yes, billion) dollar down payment to begin funding a project that will span the majority of the continental US states. Now keep in mind, that is just the down payment. The actual estimated is roughly around $35 billion per state (larger states costing more and smaller costing less, obviously).
The majority of the costs to build the train will come from the federal government with the states that the trains will go through chipping in. Unfortunately, that means that people who live in these states are going to effectively be taxed twice on these trains. The states are also responsible for the planning, developing and building of the the project, so once again, the tax payers in the states that this is passing through, get shafted for the costs. Also, most of the maintenance costs are going to be heaped on the states as well. No matter how you look at it, everyone is going to have to pay in order to get this monstrosity built and keep it running.
Some governors, have been more then happy to hop on the bandwagon and agree to take federal dollars (with all their little strings attached) to get started on this "visionary" project. I'm not going to name any of these states because you can find out easily which ones they are. Needless to say the states in question are all bankrupt and should be focusing on how to pull themselves out of the hole they dug instead of agreeing to dig more.
Other governors have refused to accept the federal funds, stating that they will not be a part of the project because it is such waste of money and places further burden on the tax payers in their state. These governors realize how damaging this will be to the economy, not just for their state, but the US economy as a whole.
Due to the willingness to not cooperate (a wise decision in my opinion), the rails from some of these states will connect to... nothing. This I must admit, makes me laugh.
Mr. Obama, please, stop wasting our money on stuff like this.

The new Illegal Heath care law
My first REAL post, YAY!
Ok, today, in case you couldn't tell by the title, I want to talk about the new Health care law. A law that has illegally been implemented by a bunch of politicians that have no respect, nor care to respect, our constitution. This law forces people to buy health insurance or face a fine. The people that this law claimed to help is only going to punish them instead.
How does nObama expect people who can't afford insurance already to be able to afford it when the prices get jacked up even higher? They can't!
How are the people who have to take medication everyday for things like Lupus or Diabetes etc. supposed to afford their medicine when the price jumps because nObama made a deal with the Pharmaceutical companies? They CAN'T!
All this Law is going to do is make the rich get richer and the poor get poorer by widening the gap between the two. The middle class is going to vanish and all these idiots in Washington can do is either pat themselves on the back because only they know whats best no matter what the American people think or whine because they don't have the balls to stand up to the ones who put this idiocraty (my word, I claim it) into place.
Barack Insane nObama, STOP FUCKING OUR COUNTRY UP YOU STUPID IDIOT!
Democrat hippy butt fuckers, STOP FUCKING OUR COUNTRY UP YOU FUCKING SOCIALISTIC BASTARDS!
Republicans who claim to be conservative, GROW A PAIR OF BALLS! STOP WHINING AND DO SOMETHING! YOU SOUND LIKE A BUNCH LITTLE BITCHES!
And lastly, to the real conservatives, keep pushing. Fight till you have no fight left then fight some more, don't let these well meaning, yet harmful people another inch of ground. They want to destroy what makes this country great so the rest of the world can feel better about itself. Fuck the rest of the world. Lets get our shit together and show the rest of the world why they should look up to us. Because we are the best there is, but we won't be if we let ourselves be drug into the ground with the rest of the world.
(To those who are offended by my choice of words, I'm sorry I offended you. Please, if you can't handle my talking like that, don't read my blog. Those of you who this inspires to be violent, seek help, you need it. To the people who disagree with me, congratulations, you have an opinion. Feel free to express it in the comments section in a civil manner. Any comments not in a civil tone will be deleted. I know my tone in this post wasn't very civil, that was intentional.)
