If you are a conservative then you have more than your fair share of representation. in the 2012 e******ns, a million more dems v**ed for house members than did republicans, yet they have overwhelming control of the House. Who really is not getting representation?
Well, since I don't wear a label, I have no one in D.C. who cares what I think, believe or want. I have had to become apolitical because I don't buy into everything any of them represent, and I absolutely refuse to be herded into a Lib or Con corral.
Politicos like to put people in convenient boxes and paint them all the same color...red, blue, green, pink...wh**ever. If I say I'm conservative, do you automatically consider me a religious loon, or a right to lifer? If I say I'm a liberal, do you figure me for a g****l w*****g nut, or a social justice freak? If I say I'm a libertarian, do you figure I'm an isolationist? Labels are lies.
How can we de-politicize our world so we can talk together? I like to think we all have similar goals...just different ways of getting there.

Sorry you feel that way. I am not trying to be mean, but can you please tell me which inalienable rights you personally have lost? Every time I ask this question to someone a have yet to get a real constitutional right gone.
Our Constitution is in tatters...you can be detained indefinitely without cause and denied representation.
Your communications can be monitored and captured without cause or warrant.
Free speech is restricted...but not everyone's.
You are taxed without representation.
Personally...our government, with its enormous power, scares the c**p outa me!!!

Because it will be the same old tried and proven to fail conservative policies.
For example conservatives and republicans constantly claim the ridiculus assertion that tax cuts create jobs, except it didn't und bush. Instead hundreds of thousands of jobs were lost, and it has taken years to get back to the number of jobs in 2007.
So elect a conservative republican and let the country fail.
Again.
And that will just about guarantee that the republicans will never win a national e******n again.

No matter which end of the political spectrum you occupy it can be said that the Progressives failed, the Democrats failed, the Republicans failed...apparently what we've been doing is not working for us. So, tell me exactly why we continue to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results.
We really need to learn from history and do things differently.
The "powers that be" work on dividing us against one another 24/7. Now we look for ways to demean and hopefully humiliate anyone who disagrees with us. Really? I mean there's some real h**e going on here. Talk about broad brush strokes! It was not always like this! This is on a par with 7th grade bullying.
We often see in others what we refuse to see in ourselves.
Two words that should NEVER be used together in a sentence: Career Politician
That's why you cannot trust Republicans OR Democrats. Anyone who thinks Reps are good/Dems are bad or vice versa is a fool and most thoroughly brainwashed.
Dr. Ben Carson is my hope for America. He's not a politician, so he gets my v**e...whether he runs or not!
:thumbup:
It really proves how little the elite care about what we think we know...it doesn't matter. "Just shut up and v**e the way we tell you" is the mantra. Next thing you know, a contrived emergency...Obama declares martial law...suspends e******ns...presto - King Obama! And we will allow it because no one seems to know how to stop it.
I have rarely posted my opinions because it seems such a waste, but I am so deeply saddened by what has become of our once great nation, perhaps it will help me if I write about it.
This is not the America of my birth. I'm very glad my parents passed away before they had to witness this. We, the "sheeple" of the USA, have been rendered impotent. God is no longer part of our culture (and please don't misunderstand...I'm not talking about organized religion when I mention God. As a matter of fact, I think organized religions have given God a very bad name!)...our inalienable rights are gone...Presidents are selected, not elected...Congress is irrelevant...the Fed owns us and pulls the money strings...the schools spew propaganda...our "free" media licks the boots of the Hollywood and D.C. elite...people of influence can lie on camera one day and then deny what they said the following week (and people take it??!!!)...conspiracy theories are no longer theories...what a mess! I fear it is beyond the point of restoring America...we will need to re-found her. I wonder if I'll live long enough to see some semblance of freedom from government return? I have become so skeptical, I question if we were ever really a government by the People and for the People. What a naive thought.
So, that's "where I'm at" today. Not a happy camper. Just frustrated!
The amazing thing about the t***h is everyone seems to have their own facts. I am convinced this is a totally illegal presidency. Nothing about this man is t***sparent, which immediately tells me he has a lot to hide. Why is he so afraid to have school records released? Is that because his Indonesian citizenship got him his scholarship money as a foreign student? How about a real birth certificate? Obama was not born in Hawaii. Who is Barry? How about all those relatives in Kenya? It's all very hinky, and I really do not understand the Left's blind worship of this f**e.
