I'm old enough to remember the inspiring words of JFK at his inauguration when he boldly stated "And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. "
What happen to that democratic party? We now have one that states "Ask what your country can do for you not what you can do for your country." They want to government to run everything. Car companies, banks, mortgages, health care and the list goes on. Many want the government to do everything. People don't want to take responsibility for their own actions nor do they want to make their own decisions.
Sorry my liberal friends the government doesn't do anything well. They can't balance a budget. Didn't they do a great job of monitoring Freddy and Fannie? They can't even monitor their own people. Look at folks like Dodd and Frank, Murtha and others these bozo's wouldn't know ethical behavior if it jumped up and bit them on the ass. And their own buddies are the ones doing the investigation of their actions. There should be an independent non-partisan group that investigates and adjudicates ethics violations by all three branches of the government. Yes, all three. If they violate ethics or break the law they should be removed from office and NEVER allowed to hold public office again.
We need to get back to Jack Kennedy's challenge and make it part of the conservative movement and if folks like Teddy Kennedy don't like it. . . Well like teddy we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
