The Lady and The Snake

The old fable regarding the lady and the snake came to my mind recently as I was sifting through all the threats, lies and rhetoric of our DC Occupiers.

Sequester – fiscal cliff – threats of banning all guns – drones used against American citizens… Are these elected officials not truly “snakes in the grass” ready to hiss and bite at every turn?!

Boehner gets tough and tells the Senate to get off their Ass (his words not mine). I have to chuckle because had they (all of them) been working as they should – we wouldn’t be hanging on a fiscal cliff or dealing with sequestration….

Nancy Pelosi believes their jobs have a certain dignity about them (I’m typing this with my nose in the air) and therefore if sequester happens they should not have to suffer a pay cut. Of course my reply to her is WHAT DIGNITY? They are the reason we have a $16 Trillion dollar debt and severely weakened nation! They have lined their pockets while the American people have lost jobs and this nation has lost manufacturers. These are not deeds of dignity but actions of greedy men and women.

Maxine Waters explains to the American people that sequestration will cost us 170,000,000 jobs – BUT Maxine, we only have 140,000,000 jobs — “Are you scratching your head too?”

We have Senator Feinstein who is hell-bent on taking away guns and “making America safer,” so-much-so, she ignores data and statistics that explain more gun control and more restrictions do not and will not reduce crime. YET – she presses on to take away the Peoples’ Second Amendment.

President Obama released jailed immigrants… because of the inevitable budget cuts to come… (I feel safer… don’t you?) AND as he shuts down the Whitehouse visits due to sequestration cuts, yet he give Egypt $190 million.

Are you following my parallel to this fable yet?

We The People – have been lulled into believing many falsehoods. We allow these DC Occupiers as well as our own State Occupiers to threaten and bully us into a “safer” nation. We stand by while they force national healthcare on us, knowing without a doubt this TAX will break us and will certainly not bring affordable or improved (efficient) healthcare for all. We remain patient as they debate gun restrictions and banning… (ok, we haven’t all been so patient – many are rallying). We listen to their threats and laugh as their mathematic equations don’t add up – YET they continue as if we are totally stupid – while we are Zombified by it all.

Did you know that the amount sequestered is only 2% across the board… there isn’t one department that should suffer greatly with a reduction of 2% – $85 billion from $3.5 trillion… isn’t a huge amount… BUT the threats continue and the scare tactics linger as We The People are told “The sky is falling!!” (I know, another child’s fable…)
