While our elected politicians debate flag burning and the definition of marriage --?

Question

do you ever wonder who's making the IMPORTANT decisions?

Answer 1

C'mon. Our elected officials are debating HUNDREDS of different things, with flag burning and the definition of marriage being on the list. If you genuinely think that these topics are the only thing being dicusssed.......5 minutes watching Cspan will nip that perception in the bud. These are issues that -you've- focused on....and that resonate with many people in america. Just because you didn't notice the numerous meetings, debate and time that goes into say......budgetting, iraq, the upcoming G-8 summit, N. Korea's recent missile test, oil prices, drug benefits, or immigration reform...doesn't mean that they don't exist. Your attention doesn't define reality.

Answer 2

NOBODY! That's the problem with our corrupted political system, on which the Republicans and Democrats have a stranglehold.

First of all, politicians don't want us to VOTE. A low-voter turn-out gives them a better chance at re-election. So, while they distract us with non-binding resolutions of flag burning and gay marriages, we aren't paying any attention to their lavish salaries, all-expense-paid luxury vacations, automatic cost-of-living pay increases, outlandish health, medical and retirement benefits, and total commitment to lobbyists, special interest groups and big business. They continue to suck on the taxpayers' teat, laughing all the way to the bank.

Meanwhile, we preoccupy ourselves with such 'pressing' issues as maxxed-out credit cards; $3.00-a-gallon fuel for our $60,000 SUVs; Britney Spears' love life; professional landscaping for our $300,000 homes; Jacko's pedophilia; and the latest rankings of our favorite football team.

As long as we don't get off the sofa, put down the remote, and DEMAND our country back, these sleazy politicians will just keep stealing from us. Thomas Jefferson once said: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." That time is way overdue.

The Constitution allows us to bear arms against a tyrannical and oppressive government. But, like lobsters languishing comfortably in a pot of lukewarm water, we won't don anything until the water reaches a boiling point. Then we'll scream in agony over our own apathy.

But then it might be too late. The Bush administration has put U.S. taxpayers TRILLIONS of dollars in debt, and our biggest creditor is China. Once we've maxxed-out our national credit card, and the Chinese extends no more credit lines, they'll simply come over here and take all our assets, real estate, weapons of mass destruction, military hardware, oil, natural resources and anything else they want. Since there won't be sufficient money in our treasury to sustain an army, we won't be able to offer much resistance. Maybe not tomorrow....but it will almost certainly happen within a generation or two. Our grandkids and great-grandkids will pay for our apathetic lack of political participation. -RKO-

Answer 3

Karl Rove and the rest of the Bush the first neocon cabalists are in the driver's seat. The tragic part is that most people get involved in these non-issue debates and don't understand that our country has been hijacked from within.

Answer 4

properly flag burning is a stupid pandering difficulty, in ordinary words delivered up each and every 2 years and could by no potential ever ever make it to the structure, the era has a extra perfect possibility. second, wellness care is purely no longer dealt with because you haven't got a fave champion to handle particular interests. third, international poverty is an extremely complicated difficulty. It deals no longer in ordinary words with poverty, yet infrastructure in those international places, the governments in cost, community themes and climate and inhabitants controls. So in accordance to complexity i ought to bypass with international starvation.

Answer 5

"Do you ever wonder who's making the IMPORTANT decisions?"

I don't have to "wonder" about it. I know. The important decisions are made by the Supreme Dictators of the United States. The ones wearing black robes.

Answer 6

what's the sense of debating the "important" issues if the commies, errrrrrr i mean democrats are going to continue to play obstructionist, partisan politics?

if the GOP had a backbone, they'd use the nuclear option on those little sum bit c h e s and get that social security and tax reform taken care of!

Answer 7

Scary, isn't it. I would suggest you contact all of your legislators and ask them what in the heck they are wasting their time on. They need to be voting to secure our borders. Then they wouldn't have to worry about the flag burning issues. We can deal with the queers and lezbo's after we get the illegals out of here.

Answer 8

Exxon, Texaco, Chevron, Walmart... Basically anyone with loads of cash.

Answer 9

those questions are just diversions to keep us from paying attention to the important issues.

Answer 10

who's making the important ones?????
parents, and teachers
