The Liberal Lie

The democratic propaganda machine is working overtime this year for the mid term elections. Most political strategists are predicting big wins by the republicans, fueled mostly by the Tea Party. Like most campaigns, everything is shaded to the left or right and gone is the days where candidates debated issues and we are now in the age of the attack campaign. Budgets and deficits are among the top issue on the campaign trail and no one, at least politicians, wants to face the inevitable, tough decisions need to be made to try and save the country.

Elimination of the Department of Education - The DOE has a budget of over $100 billion and does not teach a single student. Most school funding comes from the state and local levels, not the DOE and every state has a department of education. Since the creation of the DOE in 79, school and student achievement has been going in the wrong direction.

Elimination of the Bureau of Land Management - Created within the Department of the Interior in 1946 and has a budget of over $1 billion. Shouldn't the Dept of Interior manage the land, why is another level a bureaucracy needed?

Elimination of the Department of Homeland Security - Created after the horrific incidents of September 11 has a budget of $56 billion. Is there really a need for this department, don't we have the FBI and local law enforcement agencies? We have DEA, ATF and a few more alphabet agencies with law enforcement officers, couldn't they just share the info between each other? While we are on it, we should eliminate the DEA and other federal law enforcement agencies, after all we do have the FBI.

Housing and Urban Development - Created in 1965 with a budget of nearly $50 billion, this department does the same thing that all the state HUD agencies do, can you say duplication?

If you just scroll through the list of federal bureaucracy you can see the layer upon layer of duplication, especially with state agencies. Take a look at that list and you can find endless agencies that could be eliminated. That alone would not do the trick, entitlements and defense comprise most of the budget and areas of those should be trimmed back. Social Security, for example, will pay out more this year then it receives. How is that a sustainable program that should be left alone? It needs to be looked at. Retirement age should be raised, people are living longer now than they did 50 years ago and that's causing a strain on the system. Another problem with the system is the payments didn't stay in a private account, it went into the general fund for the corruptacrats to spend as they see fit. Medicare and medicaid are so filled with abuse and fraud, clamping down on those programs would potentially save hundreds of millions of dollars.

If the corruptacrats in Washington were serious about balancing the budget and reducing the deficit, it could be done. It would take a reduction in spending and eliminating wasteful programs and bureaucracies.

One thing that seems to be constantly overlooked by the libtards is the concept of states rights. The right of the individual state to govern itself. Libtards always throw racism into the states rights. "If you're for states rights, you want to go back to segregation because you're a racist." I think most libtards should agree with the states rights argument, after all they could create a socialist utopia within a state. States rights doesn't mean racism, it means freedom from a central government controlling lives while thousands of miles away. If the people within a state want to socialize medicine, they can. If the people of a state want to ban hate speech they can. If the people of a state want to ban firearms, they can. The thing most libtards seem to miss is the Constitution applies to the federal government, not the states. Conservatives, Tea Partiers, Beer Partiers, Libertarians and other groups are screaming about the federal government overstepping their constitutional enumerated powers. They aren't saying that we need to eliminate all government, they are saying we need to limit the federal power grab. If the people of a state want the state to control every aspect of their lives, they can vote that way. I wouldn't live there and the wonderful thing about America is I could move to another state or work to elect different people in my state, a state where people want to live the same way I do. Federalism is a wonderful system, 50 states living side by side, each one living by it's own rules, not bullied by a central government to submit it's sovereignty, not forced by a central government to fund bankrupt neighbors or bribe neighboring states to make everyone follow along.

It just goes to show that libtards aren't interested in freedom, they don't think rationally. They want to control your life, every aspect down to the clothes you buy and food you eat. It's done for your own good, because you are too stupid to make decisions for yourself. Everything is done for the greater good based solely on emotion and knee jerk reactions, no rational thought involved; in fact, the libtards would say no rational thought allowed.

The basis of freedom and liberty is simple and Andrew Wilcow says it best. My freedom includes my right to be free from you. Why should I be responsible for someone else's irresponsibility?
