She's in my district so I'll definitely vote for her. She's like the anti-Sheila Jackson Lee/Maxine Waters rubbish that has been the vocal public representation of black women in congress for the past 20 years. Hot - politically - indeed.
That is a great link, and I browsed a bit from there and found several other very good ones on the subject.
I'm actually still choosing Carl Wimmer on this race. I don't like candidates like Mia who think they need to limit their service because their kids come first. What I want to hear is that
my kids come first. But all of the candidates on the 4th CD do this, even Matheson. Matheson has raised his family, as his father did, to believe in elitism. I want someone who is talking about service, and telling their kids they are making a sacrifice to serve others.
Maxine Waters is not the smartest congresswoman, I admit. But like Rosa Parks she has held an ear out for someone who is pretty smart. Lyndon LaRouche. While the Republican candidates for the 4th CD of Utah might have it pretty right about limited government when it comes to imposing mandates on everyone, and ruling everything top-down, and on reserving rights and powers not specifically delegated to the Federal government by the Constitution, anyone who uses the word "We" to begin a description of what "we" should do as a nation, really is not getting the point. They are habitual, unconscious, addicted socialists. Every one of them. Including Mia.
If they believe in the principles of human rights, they should begin that sentence with "The Government" or "The Federal Government". Followed by either a "Should Not" relating to things not delegated by the Constitution to the government, or a "Should" relating to delegated responsibilities and functions. Particularly in respect to safeguarding our human rights and personal rights. . . . privacy, due process when charged with crime, jury trial, jury nullification of laws that people shouldn't have to be subject to, free speech, the right to peaceably assemble and seek redress of grievances. . . . without getting listed on some "terrorist watchlist" for doing so, and many many other things that people deserve in all justice, in any nation, just because they are human beings. Things no government can define or limit about what it means to be "human", because these things exist in our own hearts and minds and just simply are nobody else's business.
I guess I could just be despairing about how socialist we all are, except that the same folks who wrote our Constitution were also socialists. They believed that we could do a lot to make life better for ourselves and our posterity by acting together in ways that were constructive, and in our own interests, rather than by just letting elites like the British nobility walk all over us and manage us like cattle. What our founding socialists were actually trying to prevent was the hijacking of
our government, something that has happened. And that makes it our problem today to regain control of
our government, seizing it back from elites, cartel interests, and everyone who thinks they should rule us somehow.
Today, Barack Obama is a British sort of thinker, and a pawn of the "interests". Lyndon LaRouche has got that one nailed. He's calling for just impeaching this traitor to American principles, and taking our own destiny into our hands as Americans once again. Though a dedicated Democrat, he's actually closer to our founding fathers than our republican "constitutionalists" in some ways. And that's where I like people like Maxine Waters sometimes. While too stupid to be a real ideologue, she actually thinks about what the people's interests are sometimes.
British forms of socialism are truly top-down management by and for the elite interests, and that is how our government today has gone wrong. Very smart but very selfish folks who sit in their parlors and use whatever strings of influence they have, or can contrive, to manage everything imaginable according to their own particular turn of mind.
I wouldn't make a lieutenant in Lyndon LaRouche's little band, either. Another type of intellectual, with another answer to all the problems of mankind. Might have some ideas "we" could use to our own benefit, though.
We should figure out what we need to do to take charge of our government once again, and make it a good servant where we need it.
