Plain language is to be avoided these days

The 4th of July is Sunday. Now is a great time to take another look at the Declaration of Independence. Like our Constitution, the Declaration of Independence is plainly written in few words, about 1,300. Compare that to the crap that comes out of our congress today. Today this congress passes two THOUSAND page bills so filled with gobbledygook that no one can possibly read them and they cannot be comprehended except by teams of lawyers.


The purpose of the founders was to lay out their ideas in clear easily understood language so as to allow everyone to understand what the issues were. Today, the (g)assbags we send to congress want to avoid clear language so as to obfuscate the truth about what it is they trying do –which is to undo what the founders created. So we get 2,000 page bills that have all kinds of crap in them that subverts the founders’ intent.

The founders wrote in clear language to create a call to arms among the citizenry. If the (g)assbags in today’s congress wrote law in plain language there would be a call to arms alright – against them.

This congress and this president are more like the King of England than they are like the founders. They pass all of this crap without the consent of the governed. When the governed call the creeps on what they are trying to do we get this kind of crap over and over.

These arrogant bastards of both parties today have disdain for the people they serve. Citizens rallying against onerous and abusive government are called vile names - by the president of all of the people. That plagiarizing buffoon who is vice president, called the manager of a custard store he was visiting a “smartass.” What grace. Call your host a smartass. The simple fact is that any ass Joe Biden happens to be around will be smarter than the dumbass that Joe Biden is.

But this is how this current crop of “public servants” sees their opportunity to hold power. Divide and conquer.

If you disagree with this bunch about the government running healthcare, you’re toady for the HMOs that wants his neighbor to die unnecessarily. If you disagree with them on “comprehensive immigration reform” you’re a racist. If you support America defending her interests against a bunch of religious nuts trapped in the 10th century, you are a warmonger. If you think the sun has more to do with global warming than anything man is doing, you are a kin to a Holocaust denier.

This whole bunch needs to go the way of the three prong pitch fork.

This where we are this 4th of July:

Teetering on bankruptcy

Engaged in two wars that the “Commander in Chief” has no clue how to run

Passing two thousand page bills that erode the very thing our founding was based upon – liberty

Thousands of barrels of oil gushing into the water of one our tourist and economic treasures for 70+ days and a president who is more concerned with POSSIBLE eco damage the clean up might cause than cleaning the mess up AND NO CLUE how to stop the gusher

A president and majority party HAPPY to divide us among our selves so that they may continue to hold power

November cannot come soon enough. Stop the madness. Then begin to roll it back.
