A glaring contradiction exists in which some conservatives take issue with welfare for the needy but not for the wealthy or corporations…they hate these programs because they believe they create freeloaders and that people should fend for themselves, except for the wealthy and corporations of course… Consequently their mantra is welfare creates freeloaders and demand the programs be cut…but seldom do they demand cuts to subsidies that benefit the wealthy and corporations nor even acknowledge the existence of the corporate welfare system.

We have systematically outsourced critical high-tech manufacturing, chemical research, and even weapons development and allowed China to coral the bulk of the world’s supply of “rare earth metals,” another monstrous flub of our national security concerns by a Congress and Presidency that refuse to see the forest through the trees. For the first time in memory, if we became embroiled in a war that pitted one world power against another and embargo’s occurred, our nation is not in a position to manufacture critical infrastructure parts and drugs that are vital to maintaining a strong and resourceful America, and we would crumble because we refused to understand that manufacturing and critical research and R&D IS the lynchpin of our security as a nation, and that which used to support our nation is in utter collapse and disarray. A great disservice has been wrought upon our military and nation by a Congress that is so corrupt that they have lost sight of honor and country. We also believe, especially as it pertains to millions of fake parts in our military systems that the actions that led-up to this multi-billion dollar fiasco border on sedition and treason. When an individual knowingly makes legislation or policy that endangers the nation as a whole and harms the entire country by his or her action, that individual should be held accountable. (George W. Bush is probably on his knees praying that being held accountable will not enter into his reality any time during the next 30 years.)

It seems that our government has drastically expanded its definition of Domestic Terrorism to include some of the most common practices that millions of Americans engage in on an everyday basis. This is tyranny and subversion of our Constitution and Bill of Rights and all of us should be righteously outraged at the government’s meddling in our personal lives.

Gingrich is a member of the Capital Hill Gang that’s ruled over Washington for years. As a Former Speaker of the House he was first elected in 1979 serving until he resigned 1999. His history is laden with scandal. He served in the House during the crucial years that American multinational companies lobbied Congress to change policies that enabled them to outsource their manufacturing to China and elsewhere in pursuit of cheaper labor and production cost…so why is he leading in recent polls against his rivals?
Are these people actually listening and more importantly understanding what he supports?

I am a guest writer at another blog Keep America at Work and the other day the blogger of that site posted a commentary the Impossible Dream that inspired me to write the following that I’d like to share with our readers here at the Political Bandit…
