A Friendly Word on Politics
61A Caning in the U.S. Congress
What are they thinking?
Is the Republican Party disintegrating before our eyes. Is it their legitimate fear of financial ruin? Is it their insane hatred for their new President? Is it just cold calculated distraction tactics. Would they take this country to the brink of civil war because they are bought and paid for by Insurance and Drug Companies?
I started asking myself these questions after I saw the first "TEA PARTY". Such an obscene term for people who are actually trying to stop the "Government of the People" from doing what the majority of the people elected them to do. They want to keep this country under the thumb of the insurance companies.
I started to form some definite opinions when I saw the the Million Nut March on Washington. Regardless of how they tried to hide behind some Patriotic Duty to stop our duly elected Government from spending the money necessary to keep us out of a depression; it was a outright Klan Rally. If it was just a few nuts on the fringes of the march carrying those hateful, racist, sick, twisted signs; why didn't the majority of the people there pull those sign from those peoples' hands in outrage, and send them packing?
As if to answer that question once and for all...Here he comes! Joe Wilson, the Confederate Flag waving Southern "Gentlemen" insults the first Black President to ever stand before him in the House of Congress. Let me give you a little history lesson here. It has never happened before, EVER! Not in the entire history of The United States Congress. The only thing that even comes close was the Caning of Charles Summer. He was speaking out against slavery. And folks; he was a Repulican. He was from the Grand Old Party.
I would really like to have a Friendly Conversation about this. Especially with all the good decent Republicans that have been chased out of the Grand Old Party. What are you doing? What in the world are you thinking. Why would you let these people take over your party? I guess it's because money talks. And the people now speaking for your party are paid puppets.
We really need to talk about this alot more. People need to be aware of what's happening in our streets and in our government. And, I really think they should know the real reasons behind the protests, and marches,the fake anger, and the fake insanity. It's just Shameful Greed.

It seems that Barak Obama foolows the track of faild Bush again. He simply seems no idea on how to lead America. I worry about America again for the years to come. He does not keep the promise withdrawing from wars.
Great hub! :) And right on target! I'm your new fan, btw!
Looking from offshore it is easy to see the bipartisan rubbish directed against Obama, some of the stupidest crap the world has ever seen, Wake up America!
political debates will always make you enemies...but it's great to stand by your beliefs and I wish you all the luck for it. as for Obama, this was all bound to happen, wasn't it? there were just too many expectations...and he's only human after all! anyway, a very well written hub and thanks for posting!
"Liberals seem to me to be more tolerant of others"
HAHAHAHHAHAAAAAHAHAHhahahahahaaaahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hiya just saw you in the forums..... don't get yourself banned any more hubs in the pipeline?????
Friendly, Great post this is a topic of great debate, as you can see.... I agree whole-heartedly. "oh he's speaking to kids in school" let's ban it, it's brain-washing the kids, WHAT? He didn't deserve the Peace Prize, I'm sorry if Al Gore can get it, then I pretty much think he deserves it as well. Some people believe everything the media spits out at them because it's the lazy way as oppose to actually reading and researching yourself. Great Hub!
No one or very few hated Bush until it became clear what a lousy job he was doing--lying to justify a foolish and costly invasion of Iraq, cutting taxes for the richest Americans and running record deficits, dragging his feet on global climate change, letting religion and business interests trump science and write their own regulations, authorized torture against the advice of the military and in violation of international treaties, spy on Americans in violation of the law and so forth. The impeach Bush mantra came only after he f--ked up quite badly. Many of assumed he might follow in his father's rather harmless and inoffensive footsteps in the tradition of the former Republican Party. It wasn't long before it was apparent that he was under the spell of Cheney, the oil, mining, drug, timber, coal, and electric power industries.
Okay so yeah, liberals ragged on Bush. That's pretty traditional stuff. Did any liberals ever suggest that he should be killed? The latest makes the third known incident. Conservatives, check your lunatic fringe, please! But I guess you think it suits your goals better to let them fester.
Tax cuts are bad. Unless they're republican tax cuts! ;>
Somebody help the guy out. What is Texan trying to say anyway?
95% have received a tax cut? Read this article and get back to me, I know its not as respected as the Huffington Post but, what is? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122385651698727257 or maybe this
