Trust?

In the current debate over the health care bill we can see a continued shift in the American public. For years the members of the middle class have been so busy that many have ignored politics. We’ve been busy raising our children, feeding the cat, paying our mortgages, worried about saving money to send our kids to college, and hoping that those who we elected every couple of years were doing the right things.

But suddenly we find ourselves in some very uncomfortable situations. We find that many of the promises we have been made were totally ignored. We find that the only ones who have any real input into Washington are buying access. We hear a bureaucrat say: “You can not let a crisis go to waste.” We find that our leaders call those who that agree with them, good American and anyone who disagrees, un-American. We see our “leaders” not only vote on bills but pass them without bothering to read the contents. Then a leader says it doesn’t matter, since he would not understand what he was reading.

Next year many of these “leaders” will be asking for our votes. We must remember what they think of us. It does not matter if you agree or disagree with the current debate; you must remember that if our leaders are this arrogant, then they have no desire to serve. They may be doing what you think you want now, but can we trust them. We are stronger because of our differences. No one group is totally right or wrong. If we are not willing to listen to those who disagree then our ignorance will be used against us.

When our leaders will not listen and call us a mob, un-American, and say we are lying when they don’t know if it is true or not, it is time to throw the bums out. How can we trust them? I can see no reason to trust these career politicians who are so isolated from us that they seem to have forgotten what it means to be an American. As they make these huge power grabs we find our freedoms slipping away.


I don’t care about Obama’s legacy. I care about the American legacy. This country is not perfect, but it is not the source of all evil. Our ancestors did many things that we should be proud of, not ashamed. I want our grandchildren to be raised in a souvenir nation, which is free. Not a nation that is enslaved by a radical minority, whose goals are to suppress the spirit that made this country great, just so they can fulfill their perverted idea of fairness.

How much trust should we have in our government? Barney Franks said that we should not trust our government. Well for once I have to agree with him. Just in case you haven’t heard; he is pushing for a complete government take over of the healthcare system through a single payer plan. So in as many words he is telling us to turn our lives over to an organization that can not be trusted. Is our society suicidal?

You can not trust a system that changes with the slightest whim of individual whose job mainly depends on fooling a majority to vote for them. So since Mr. Franks is a representative of the government then he is admitting that in not trust worthy. Then how can we trust him? You have to believe and trust in him if you vote for him, but he now says that he can not be trusted. I wonder why anyone would vote for someone who is such a contradiction.
