I continually shake my head in amusement and wonder as I read the daily news postings. Politics has evolved into a game that is akin to Russian Roulette. Eventually, everyone loses. There are always fringe groups in every nation. People that want unreasonable things and cry loudly when they don't get their way. The problem with us, is that we give these nutjobs air time on the damn TV. And then some moron in Congress decides it would be a good idea to try to garner their votes and waste all sorts of time and energy on useless ideas.
Example: Birthers (OMG they even picked a completely retarded name to go along with their completely retarded demands)
For anyone that doesn't have TV or the Internet or friends (in which case - how the hell are you reading this blog?!?): They are the group (yes, there's more than one of them!) that claim that the current sitting President wasn't born on US Soil and is therefore ineligible to be President.
My personal opinion is that they are mostly racists and since they can't use that to get rid of the first black President, they use this absurdity instead.
Now, not only is there ample proof that Barrack Obama was born in Hawaii, which the White House has shown time and time again, but there is NO evidence otherwise. None! They have nothing! Burden of proof is on them in a court of law to challenge the legitimacy of his Citizenship. So why does anyone listen to this crap and give them 2 seconds of thought, beyond "well that's stupid"?
Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind. co-sponsored a "birthers bill" that would require a Presidential Candidate to provide a birth certificate to be eligible to run. Honestly, it's not a horrible bill, just a waste of time. It's something that isn't necessary. Congress shouldn't give these people the time of day let alone give them any support at all!
Please, Congress, I beg of you!!! Do something useful with that job we pay you to do. Stop wasting my money. MY MONEY. I pay you! 99.9999 % of the people that pay you don't give a crap about this stuff. I can only hope more people pay attention to behavior such as this during election time. You would think that you'd be a little more careful since many of you lost your jobs during the last round, but I guess another sweeping of the floor is necessary. Some people just never learn.
And to all TV networks out there. Conspiracy theories are NOT news. Tell us what's happening in Iraq/Iran/North Korea. Tell us about wildfires and serial killers. There's plenty of bad things happening in the world you can create fancy graphics for.
