Political Action

There is too little action taken in politics currently. Politicians talk, although I suppose they always have, a good game, but nothing gets done. So, Obama is angry at BP for not doing anything... Well then do something about it! I am so sick and tired of pandering. The Democratic Party is worried that if they do anything to upset the status quo that they will lose seats in the next election. In short, they are depending on pandering to the middle instead of encouraging their base to vote by voting like Democrats. This weakness, real or imagined, is going to destroy the Democratic majority in November. This Congress has been a lame duck since it's inception.

You might suggest that it passed health care. But at what cost? The real plan, the one of Truman and Kennedy, was demolished and replaced by a facsimile of ineffective stupidity. Democrats need to take a stand. They need to find an issue that is important to their base and run with it. This in-between, let's not offend anyone, idea is self-defeating. At what point does the cure become worse than the disease? Why sit around and do nothing useful and then get voted out of office because of a lackadaisical base when you could actually get something done and hold a fighting chance of retaining or GAINING seats in the mid-term election? This is utter foolishness.

It's a Wonder Why Conformity is the Norm...

16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

(Leviticus 21:16-21)
