You're invited . . . to the hypothetical baptism of Congress
By Kaye Grogan
Since Nancy Pelosi has promised the American people to head the most ethical congress in America's history can we expect an invitation to gather around the Jordan River for a good old congressional baptism?
In case Pelosi has forgotten or doesn't know the definition of "ethical" here it is to refresh her memory: relating to moral principles or the branch of knowledge concerned with these. Morally correct — ( not politically correct). Conforming to accepted standards of social or professional behavior.
The lineup Ms. Pelosi proudly endorsed for House leadership committees when the so-called new congress convenes on January 3, 2007 — should register as a 10 on the Richter scale for a big shake-up.
Psst . . . Nancy — did you forget about voting to impeach Alcee Hastings for his unethical role in taking a bribe as a Florida federal district judge in 1989?
And there also seems to be a black cloud hovering over the head of Jack Murtha. But don't worry the Democrats don't play by the same rules. And why should they when they have been given a pass as progressives — by progressives?
The only trouble with all of this progressing — the progressing has taken on a whole new meaning.
If you see a lot of people walking around noseless don't be too surprised as a lot of people bit their noses off to spite their faces, when they voted in the midterm elections.
It really makes a lot of sense to vote for a change of guards with the same old guards right?
While the Democrats (with the help of the liberal news media) bashed President Bush and the Iraqi conflict 24/7 — not one single Democrat has offered a viable solution for ending the conflict in Iraq beyond cut and run.
Folks take a long look at the people you helped to secure either their incumbency or elected more of the same persuasion to lead you. Get used to holding on to them, as you stumble along to disaster. On second thought . . . chalk that up as a bad suggestion — you're on your own.
Already the approval rating for the Democrats is waning before the actual gavel to gavel proceedings of the 110th congress opens.
If you thought the road was rocky with the Republicans — you're going to feel like you're riding down Mount Everest on an old junkyard bus without brakes — with the Democratic majority.
If you want to know why the Democrats are fudging the direct question — especially Rep. Charles Rangel when they are asked if the tax idolizing party is going to raise taxes — just go to http://www.heritage.org/Research/Budget/upload/pork_projects.html to see the biggest pork-barrel spending activity imaginable just waiting to be appropriated in 2007. We should all have a similar wish-list.
It's impossible to fund these on-going humongous projects without raising taxes.
Did you know that one million is going toward Mormon Cricket & Grasshopper activity studies in Utah and $300,000 for the same project in Nevada? Good grief! ...are they trying to figure out what makes these insects hop?
For goodness sakes! ...they have bent flexible legs and it didn't cost you one red cent to be told this little tidbit.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg revealing where your tax dollars are being MIS-appropriated by your members of congress.
It would appear after reading the astonishing pork-barreling fact list this could almost be considered as racketeering.
I have determined that the abuse of the peoples' money by everyone in Congress — is unethical and proves that they definitely need to all be gathering at the Jordan River for "ethical" cleansing.
Yes . . . they all need to gather at the river.
And that's just my opinion!
