Open Letter To The "Occupy" Protesters

Dear Morons:

That's right...I'm calling you a name.  Want to know why?  Because you obviously don't understand that the very things you're supposedly protesting are the very rules and regulations put in place by the people you voted for!  Let's take a look at it.

First, Wall Street being in bed with big government.  I recall Obama being backed heavily by those Wall Street firms in 2008.  Did you forget about that?  And wasn't it the Clintons who put in place policies to help people who couldn't afford home loans to get them?  I think it was.  Oh my gosh, the very people you support are the very people you are now protesting.  But wait, if you had taken time to actually pay attention to what was going on in government BEFORE, you'd know that already!

Second, the very reason healthcare costs are increasing is because of the absurd Obamacare plan.  That's right!  Ask any business person or health insurance company and they'll show you the numbers of what it's going to cost them to comply with Obamacare.  Did you really think that the cost wouldn't be passed on to consumers?  Really?  What planet have you been on?  Oh wait, that's right...you're headline readers and don't feel like taking the time to actually research anything on your own.  Therefore, you just take the word of others (the media) that conservatives are wrong.  Yeah...and you guys are SUPPOSEDLY the educated party. 

Last, high unemployment.  Yeah, at the time the economy collapsed we had a Republican President.  With that being said, the White House is only 1/3 of government.  Congress, which was run by the Democrats, actually are the ones who control the purse strings in government.  They are the ones who pass legislation and spend our money.  So if no jobs are available because businesses are running scared due to the ridiculous legislation passed by this body, is that really the fault of Republicans?  I'm not holding them innocent, but they were woefully outnumbered in the House and the Senate for many years.  Just want you to know that.  You may want to look at Pelosi and Reid and their records to see how they affected the current high unemployment.

Let me ask you people, who is the bigger fool?  The fool himself, or the person who blindly follows the fool without question?  You don't even really know what you're protesting, but does that bother you?  No!  Listen, do the world a favor and take a little time to study the facts.  If at that point you still want to take off your clothes, block bridges and disrupt traffic, and chant stupid slogans, I'll support you in that right.  But until you take the time to study the issues from ALL angles:  SHUT UP AND GO HOME!!!!!!

Sincerely,
Shasta

P.S.
As for the name calling...doesn't feel good does it?  You continue to call me and my human racists and other nasty names...we're going to keep calling you morons!  Just letting you know is all!

Politicians Are Like Dogs In The Pound

Now I know that most people have visited their local pound once or twice to adopt an animal.  So you will understand exactly what I'm saying.  When you go to the pound, you look for an animal that is cute, lovable and reaches out to you.  Unfortunately, when people choose an animal, they often forget that the cute little puppy or kitten will eventually grow up.  This creates a problem later on down the road, because the adult animal may not have the temperament you thought it had, OR it may end up being bigger than what you thought when it was small.  Aren't politicians like that?

When Dems are campaigning, they give us platitudes and ideas that SOUND really good.  They even make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.  A Dem is really good at suggesting they are going to "reduce" the deficit or debt while stating what they're going to "give" you.  But...just like that cute little puppy, they grow!  And all of a sudden, you're faced with a gigantic beast that requires a lot more "food" than you thought.  I discussed this idea with my human, and I decided that if more people would take a little time to ask questions....some of these Dems would end up staying in the pound!

"Shasta," Candi began, "I have adopted and/or rescued many animals in my time.  One thing I've learned is to ask questions about the breeding of the animal.  For example, I want to know what kind of mix a puppy is before I take it so that I can do research and estimate what it's needs may be.  I adopt the same attitude with government.  I do research on politicians, what they stand for, how they've voted on past issues and how many times they've voted in direct violation of their campaign promises.  More people need to take this attitude.  If they did, maybe we wouldn't have some of the problems in this country that we currently have."

"Well why don't they?" I asked.

"We like to feel warm and fuzzy.  And it's easier for us to take the word of someone else than it is for us to check it out ourselves."

So here is my advice.  Treat every Dem, and even Republicans, like a dog in the pound.  Do your research, ask questions, and then decide which animal would suit your ideas and needs best.  I'd be willing to bet that we'll see a lot more Dems left in the pound than Republicans.

Time To Rid America of Ticks!!!

Obama and liberals in D.C. are determined to drain every ounce of "blood" from the American people.  They refuse to see the failure of liberal policies and so, they keep re-introducing the same old line of "increasing taxes on the rich" and increasing the size of government by proposing a "jobs plan" that does nothing for actual recovery.  Does this NOT sound like a tick to you?  It sure does to me!

Americans take great pains in removing parasites from their beloved pets, but what are we actually doing to get rid of this parasitic administration?  You'll take your dog or cat to the vet when you THINK there might be a problem, but have you taken our government to your friends and family when you KNOW there is a problem?

It is time for Americans to remove the tick that is sucking the blood from the citizenry of the United States.  Obama and his cronies must be made to understand that we will not allow them to swell government to the point that this great nation is no longer recognizable. 

My human said it best, "I don't like removing ticks and other parasites from you, Shasta, but it has to be done.  It's for your overall well being!"  Of course, she's saying this as she's making gagging noises and trying not to throw up. 

I don't really like biting liberals (they have a bad after taste), but I do it when necessary.

The removal of ticks is gross, but it is necessary.  Will you help me rid America of the ticks that are threatening to drain the very essence of what makes this country great?
