Not a Tea Party Adherent But Damn Angry

Altho I am not a Tea Party adherent I, too, am very, very angry.....not with the Federal government in general but with the Congress in particular.. It is a body of either comfortably ensconced old men who have enjoyed being re-elected for decades due to the apathy and ignorance of the voters, or a body of newcomers whose only focus is getting re-elected. . .The fault lies partially with us for not paying enough attention to what they are doing. Perhaps term limits is the answer...and instead of the smears and lies that are the base of modern campaigning....the only criteria would be the publishing, for all to see, of their voting record on every issue that comes before them..Maybe that would diminish the roles of the lobbyists and the corporations that they represent.

Underwear Bomber vs. hotel maid

This is another thing that really bothers me....on one hand we have groups of young men entering our country from known "terrorist" countries (Somalia, Afghanistan and Pakistan) who seem to have no problems obtaining visas, in traveling back and forth between their birthplaces and here, in becoming citizens of the USA,are able to buy firearms with impunity....and whose mission in life seems to be the destruction of our country. On the other hand we have people who come to us from across the border in hopes of making a better life for themselves and their families. Who work hard and aid in our economic growth, yet they are subjected to discrimination and rigorous barriers to achieve citizenship......so why the disparity in our attitudes and laws???? Car Bomber vs. field worker, Underwear Bomber vs. hotel maid,....the choice seems clear to me.
