Can America be saved?

It’s getting harder and harder to find that path.  It’s like being down a two points with two minutes to go in the game.  Your quarterback inexplicably pitches the ball to a defender who runs it in for score.  The extra point makes it a 9 point delta.  There are no 9 point plays in football.  You’ll need a score, an on- side kick recovery and drive the ball for another score to have a chance.  But the rules and mechanics of the game are not your biggest problem.  Your biggest problem is that your quarterback and three or four of other players on your team have money riding on your opponent to win.

That’s where we are America.  Our quarterback - a simpering cry baby – after kicking the can on the debt ceiling down the road for 3 months and getting a big fat NOTHING in return, is now considering voting on “comprehensive immigration reform” in the next couple of months.  Anyone want to bet the cry baby does not implode on that issue like every other issue?

America can not be saved if there is nobody there to save it.  Us commoners need to understand that.  With very few exceptions, the lords and ladies we send to Washington D.C. are more comfortable in the confines of that environment than they would be sitting in one of our kitchens answering real questions.  Like: why don’t you get off your fat, lazy, chain smoking, wine guzzling azz and fight for something – anything - instead of lining your own pockets with funds from the treasury and your campaign funds?

Lazy?  Hell yes lazy.  The work schedule for one of these pampered prisses is about as demanding and strenuous as the callisthenic routine at seniors’ home.  They work about three days week starting at noon each day.  They take the month of August off and take 4 days for every declared holiday.  They pay themselves 4 times the national average income and bitch every time they are required to actually work.  How can the country be 17 trillion dollars in debt with a work ethic like that?  You’d think given their lack of effort there wouldn’t be enough actual work time to get that deeply into debt.

And then there’s this.  Dad once told me when I was doing something stupid, like pushing against a door clearly marked “pull,” “Thinking is the hardest work there is, son.  That’s why so few people want to do it.”  So how likely is that the lazy noble class in Washington is going to engage in any activity that requires real work, most especially the hardest kind of work?  Without that effort, we are doomed.

They are not going to do it.  They are going to go along and get along.  Our quarterback is going to continue to throw the game, because that’s the easiest thing to do.  Anyone who disrupts the good thing – Cruz. Lee, Paul - is going to be scorned and held up for ridicule by the go along and get along slug class of noblemen - even the ones on their own team.
