Reconstituted Failure
A Story by Michael Stevens
 Politics! 
Here they are again, reelected for
the 231st time,
Or so it seems, crooked ineptitude
in a 3-piece suit
Oh sure, they say the right things,
And pat us on the head like we're
the family pet,
And I guess we're at the same
level,
For we they keep peeing on the
carpet,
And we smile and clean it up; why
oh why
Do we keep electing these pathetic
glad-handers?
The definition of insanity is
repeating the same
Action over and over again and
expecting a
Different result; well?

Why do we? Is it because we've grown dependent on these band of fools?

I don't think so. Is that to say there aren't a few nuts? No. I don't agree with everyone in the movement, but I do agree in as to why it came about.

I mean, openly carrying assault rifles to a rally, just because it's TECHNICALLY not against the law? That is the kind of freaks they are attracting now. It seems more about flipping off the establishment, and if the country's flushed down the toilet, so be it!

For bares a huge cost, but then again we must not forget who America is, We the People. The establishment has forgotten that and it's seen daily on the alphabet networks.

I'm sure there are some intelligent ones, maybe, but it's just that the ones I see on the news make me so damn mad. I wholeheartedly disagree with most everything they say.

What are the responsibilities of the government? Should people be motivated to be liberated from government dependence? What are some of the common grounds you find with the American Tea Party? You said most, so that leaves room for some.

I see the role of government as helping the less-fortunate, and you think they should stay out of the way. I understand there's going to be a few people who stand there with their hand out, but I think the vast majority stand there looking for a hand up. As for The Tea Party having some good ideas, I think the idea of holding congress responsible in a better way is admirable, but I think they want to go about it in a totally-irresponsible way.
