Today, Senator Tom Harkin declares that he wants the filibuster to change — the Senate rule that requires 60 votes to end debate — the rule that prevents just about anything good ever happening in the Senate. Of course, Harkin wants it to end because you can never get 60 Senators to agree on anything significant or important. Now, Harkin graps a few headlines wanting to change the Senate rules — but that takes 67 Senators. Hmm. Ridiculous indeed. You can never get 60 votes but maybe 67 will agree you no longer need 60. Obviously, this is just another pretend change.
Whenever something happens, a bunch of politicans will speak out about how something is going to change. Blah. Blah. Blah. Constitutional Amendment. Blah. Blah. Blah. New legislation. Yet, nothing changes for the good. It only changes when the situation will rock the fabric of the country. Then, they will throw away all principals and judgment, e.g. Patrot Act, Wars, Financial Bailouts, etc.
Pretend change is the kind of elected representatives that America has. They are worthless. Meanwhile, you have the 5 old farts in the Supreme Court making decisions that will change things in ways unimaginable — Exxon For President — Corporations Are People, so says the old farts.
America is doomed.
Filibuster reform headed for Senate floor; measure faces uphill battle – TheHill.com.
You get smarter and far more edgeemakated by the day. Now you see why I live in the woods, and have very little contact with the “outside” world. I have a few “internet girlfriends” in Cameroon, Dominican Republic, Panama, and Brazil. If I could sell out tomorrow and make some decent money, I’d be gone. AmeriKa is the modern day Titanic. The iceberg lays in wait!!! We are now grazing it’s outer edges. Prepare for food riots, State nullification of Federal Laws, food riots, etc…. Get ready for military control and a possible coup. People no longer care what they do in “Washin’ton”. Only the leeches pay any attention. Hope you thought years ago to stockpile lots of ammunition, like I did. You will need it to guard against mauraders and looters, like in Haiti and other freaky places. Let me “harken” unto you. Get prepared!! I wish you luck in the coming chaos. Too bad you got schooled too late.
