The Slime, Sleaze, Immorality, and Corruption Of The American Political Class - Part 5

This will finally be the last post in our series on the sleaze and generally bad behavior of the American class. It is really a sad commentary when it takes five days to cover bad politicans acting badly. Today we will focus on the disrespect and slandering of ordinary Americans over the past few years by our politicians, simply for having a different, honest, and usually informed position on an issue.

These insults and condescension fall into two general categories. The first category are the insults that Democratic politicians and their political allies have heaped on non-Democtatic Party women. You cannot say you are defending the rights of women, as President Obama insists he is doing, when you allow half of the women in this country, Republican leaning women, to be demeaned and insulted, as illustrated by the following slurs, by your political allies:

• When the campaign manager of Democrat’s Gerry Brown’s gubernatorial campaign called his Republican opponent, Meg Whitman, a whore, Obama was silent.
• When TV host Montel Williams had publicly hoped that Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachman would commit suicide by decapitating herself, Obama was silent.
• When Ed Schultz, an on air commentator for the Democratic leaning MSNBC news channel, called Laura Ingraham of Fox News a slut, Obama was silent.
• When HBO TV host Bill Maher, a major donor to Obama’s 2012 Presidential Super PAC (a $1 million donor), said on air that Republican Sarah Palin “would f*** Rick Perry if he was black,” Obama was silent.
• When Bill Maher called Republican Sarah Palin a disgusting and derogatory name that I will not repeat here, Obama was silent.
• When Playboy magazine’s online website offered a detailed analysis on why and how each of ten Republican women in politics should be hate raped, Obama was silent.
• When a rap artist gave a Minnesota concert that was billed as the “F*** Michelle Bachman” concert (spelling out the entire f-word), a Republican Congresswoman from Minnesota, Obama was silent.
• When a Democratic operative insulted Ann Romney, and millions of other American women, by slandering and demeaning her as a stay at home mother, Obama was silent.

I am not saying that Obama should have responded to all of these degradations of Republican women. However, he cannot claim he is working hard for all of the women in the country when he allows half of them, those with a differing political view, to be called sluts, whores, worthy of hate rapes, and other terms too graphic too repeat here.

He should be a leader, he should be setting the tone of civil political dialog, not remaining silent. He is not a leader or a defender of women's rights when he does not represent the good name and integrity of women who are not Democrats. I cannot remember any time in my life when politicians had such a low regard for law abiding American citizens of a different political stripe, a time when citizens, in this case American women, have been so degraded by those in government.

But it is not just American women that have been slandered by the political class. All types of Americans who have had honest differences of opinion with this administration have also been slammed and insulted by politicians while those supposedly in a leadership position, especially the President, have remained silent, giving their tacit support and encouragement:

• When Democrat Speaker Of The House Nancy Pelosi called opponents to Obama Care unpatriotic for simply having a difference of opinion with many politicians in Washington, Obama was silent.
• When Democrat Charles Rangel slandered millions of Americans who opposed Obama Care by calling them racists for simply having an honest difference of opinion with many politicians in Washington, Obama was silent.
• When Democrat Shelia Jordan Lee slandered of Americans who opposed Obama Care by associating them with the Ku Klux Klan, Obama was silent.
• When White czar Van Jones called all Republicans a**h****s, Obama was silent.
• When Democrat Alan Grayson called all Republicans knuckle dragging Neanderthals, Obama was silent.
• When union boss and Democratic supporter Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. stated that his union was at war with the Republicans and Tea Party and that those people "need to be taken out," Obama was silent.
• When Democratic Congressmen Mike Doyle and Henry Waxman and Vice President Joe Biden slandered Americans opposed to unfettered and destructive government spending and debt by calling them terrorists (those people that bomb and kill and innocent civilians), Obama was silent.
• When ordinary Americans objected to the building of a Islamic mosque near the World Trade Center property because of the memories of 9-11 and Democrat Nancy Pelosi said THEY should be investigated for simply having an opinion on the mosque, Obama was silent.
• When Democratic Congressman Steve Cohen likened Republican critics of Obamacare to the Nazis and their propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, Obama was silent.
• When Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Walters said all Tea Party American citizens can go to hell simply for having a difference of opinion with her, Obama was silent.

You cannot say you are the leader of the entire country when political allies attack citizens for simply having an opinion or political opponents are called terrorists, a**h****s, racists, Nazis, or Neanderthals and you remain silent. That does not celebrate our freedom and celebrate diversity.

Again, I have never lived through a period of American history when politicians were so contemptuous of American citizens, so demeaning of American citizens, and so silent in not defending the freedom of speech right of American citizens

Okay, that does it for now. Five painful days of reviewing the slime, sleaze, immorality, and corruption of the American political class. It does not have to be this way, as laid out in "Love My Country, Loathe My Government." Imagine how just the following few steps from the book would benefit the country and our citizens if they were put into effect:

• Step 6 - allow only individuals to contribute to candidates' election campaigns, removing the stain and corruption of the massive amounts of money from businesses, unions, PACs, and lobbyists that overwhelm our election processes.
• Step 7 - allow only individuals to contribute to election campaigns that directly affect themselves, e.g. someone in Kansas could not contribute to the election campaign of a politician in New Jersey.
• Step 8 - change the composition and functions of the Federal Election Commission so that it is no longer an affiliate of the political class.
• Steps 34 and 37 - put in review processes to judge and grade Congressional performance, removing members from committees when those committees' performance is judged sub-par as well as reducing pay for politicians whose individual performance is also sub-par.
• Step 38 - the most important step: implement term limits so that everyone who serves in a Federally elected position can not run for reelection, they are all "one and done." That would eliminate a lot of the corruption that goes into our election process relative to incumbents and hopefully free up politicians to vote for the good of the country rather than the good of their hoped for long term political career.

The steps back to freedom and honest government are not hard to understand, it is the will to take back our political processes that is more difficult to find. Until that happens, cronyism, wasteful spending, adultery, lying, and the like will be the overriding characteristic of our government. Integrity, courage, thrift, problem resolution, and self sacrifice will be nowhere to be found.

The United States of Purple is a new grass roots approach to filling the office of President of The United States by focusing on the restoration of freedom in the United States, focusing on problem solving skills and results vs. personal political enrichment, and imposing term limits on all future Federal politicians. No more red states, no more blue states, just one United States Of America under the banner of Purple.

The United States Of Purple's website also provides you the formal opportunity to sign a petition to begin the process of implementing a Constitutional amendment to impose fixed term limits on all Federally elected politicians. Only by turning out the existing political class can we have a chance of addressing and finally resolving the major issues of or times.
