confusion

Some things I just don’t understand and can’t figure out:

A vast majority of Republican/Tea Bag elected politicians who came to power promoting the common man, his/her freedoms and rights seem to confuse me when it actually comes to creating bills and law to protect those same individuals.

The majority of Republican/Tea Bag Congress people vetoed extending payment to the unemployed after the deadline in December expires. Many wealthy Congress people lamented the fact that unemployment is difficult, but then said America does not want to go into debt some $60 billion to help the unemployed. At the same time most of the same Republican/Tea Bag Senators and Representatives are bending over backwards to protect the 1% wealthy of this country to save them from paying higher taxes (if and when the Bush Taxes expire) which in turn will raise the debt of this Government some $700 billion.

It seems protecting the wealthy from higher taxes they can afford, (and for some really never pay due to the fact they can employ high priced lawyers to find a tax loophole or two) has much more merit than protecting the middle class citizen who most likely without employment revenue coming in will be that much closer to homelessness, hunger and not paying any taxes at all.

A vast majority of those same Republican/Tea Bag Congress people say that it may be hard times for the unemployed (when those same politicians are not accusing the unemployed as lazy and choosy about what type of work they look for) say they are taking a stand because they (the altruistic politicians) are doing it for our children and grandchildren.

I suppose it is more important to protect the children and the grandchildren in some far off future but not the children and grandchildren of the currently unemployed. Politicians are always doing this and that for the children, but my question is whose children. Families have children presently and they are short on income which means they have to prioritize medical needs, food, shelter, and clothing. Do those children not count when the pompous self righteous wealthier than most politicians play the “its for the children” card?

The church, the synagogue, the mosque should be places of peace, prayer and safety. Yet the leaders of most of the houses of worship whom identify themselves as deliverers of the word of God seem to speak in hues and tones of a vengeful and violent God. It is as if they invented God and not God creating man. They talk about tolerance but seem to be the first to throw around intolerance. They say God is a benevolent being but benevolent with a bias and bigotry.

I am so tired of being considered by those who (so cockily say they know Gods purpose and pleasures) as being a sinner. As a Gay man I am reminded that who I choose to love makes me a sinner committing a sin. I am told by some that I am still loved by God, (the sinner) but must stop committing the sin (loving someone).

I am told all of this by people who… commit adultery and when caught, and only when caught swear they will be born again and not behave so badly…tell men and women in Africa do not use condoms when having sex, just abstain, as millions of people die or pass on the disease to their children… explain that a woman has no real power in the eyes of God, should not lead a congregation, is more of a bride to Jesus or the essence of the Sabbath Queen, or just a conduit by which offspring should be produced and produced and produced…who lie about weapons of mass destruction...who are caught lying about their past, their present, but when the evidence is presented proving the lie, lie even louder about the truth.

It confuses me as to who is pointing the sinner finger at me and who has not looked in the mirror before rising their hands or rolling their eyes.

Security was project number one in the land of the Bush/Cheney War on Terrorism. During their reign anyone who questioned their motives, demonstrated concern on their intentions, asked why or how much was called immediately on the carpet and was ready to be burned at the All American Stake, patriots have at the ready. The TSA was America’s homeland security an arm of Government waiting to catch the terrorists. Never question the color code for alarm, and never say boo about pat downs or scanners, it was the American way.

As I recall we still have the two wars happening, you know the ones Bush/Cheney and the majority of Republicans created and the fear of homeland terrorism is preached to us almost every news day. But suddenly, pat downs and scanners are all too intrusive. Suddenly it is not in the best interest for grandma and her clan to be questioned or bothered about boarding a plane. And suddenly this has become a hue and cry of the Republican/Tea bag Brigade of politicians. Has this country suddenly learned how to spot a terrorist, have all the methods were were preached at as being the best, the most complete by the Republicans stopped working?

And suddenly, there is no longer a need for the TSA as suggested by some Republican/Tea Bag politicians because they think a private firm could and should do the job. (It reminds when Dick Cheney decided to hire Blackwater and Halliburton to fight the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It reminds me of the horrible manner in which the private firms he hired handled the affairs of the US and how horribly insufficient their supplies to the troops were.) But there was profit to be made for Trickie Dickie in hiring private firms, and I wonder just how much lobbyist money has gone and will go the Republican/Tea Bag politicians when they replace the TSA with their own goons.

I wonder at how valuable all the security seemed to be while Bush/Cheney and his henchmen treated America to a falsehood about being safer. I wonder at what happened to we need to pitch in and do all we can to keep America safe. Maybe, just maybe Bush’s term is over and now that the Republicans have won a majority the old propaganda needs to be retired.

I just can’t figure out how those who have stabbed us in the back are now the heros. I can’t understand why those who preach morals from the pulpit never live to their own standards, and I can’t figure out why suddenly the best security America could provide and did provide is lack luster and a loser.

And the most amazing thing I can not figure out is why do we as Americans let allow of this happen to us.
