The Wayfarer Philosophy

I’ve been on the Sidelines, but now I’m back.

It has been over a month since I have posted here. My life got a little busy recently… or actually, a lot busy, and I had to focus on other things rather than The Wayfarer Philosophy. Yet, I’ve been keeping up with the goings on in the world and in this country. It is truly sad what is happening to this country at the hands of its government. This is a nation that has a history of so much honor and self-sacrifice, and although we have a history that is also clouded by severe wrongs, this country has always been on a course to correct itself and better itself. We now, however, are are at a point where the country’s prosperity hangs in the balance. We often take our freedom and our blessings for granted, and I am sad to say that there are a lot of people in this country who are content to sit back and not pay attention to what is going on nor think hard about the constant lies and manipulation put out by our present regime in government and the media that serves them.

How About this Oil Spill?

In getting caught up, I might as well start on what has been the biggest topic for the last month and a half. Let’s start with the obvious. Yes it is a terrible state of affairs for the Gulf Coast’s ecosystems and the livelihoods of the people who live there. BP should be playing the role it is playing in trying to clean up and stop the mess. Likewise, they should have to be held responsible for the damages to the people and the environmental concerns that result from this accident. Yet, the whole Obama administration mantra of “kick their asses and keep the boot on their neck” doesn’t accomplish a damn thing. Ken Salazar had the “boot ont he neck” quote and Barack Obama reported the whole “ass kicking” quote that most everyone has heard by now. The time for dealing out punishment comes later if there were any laws broken and the repayment for damages for what the accident has caused can begin now as these damages arise. Yet, a government who does not try to do anything to contribute to their own responsibility for organizing and helping the coastal states to protect their environments should not be engaging in the tough talk about punishing businesses for the sake of memorization and capitalizing on public sentiment.

Would it not be more productive right now for the government to be trying to help clean up the gulf whether or not BP has to pay for it? Shouldn’t they actually be getting back tot he states that are requesting PERMISSION to use booms to block the oil from approaching their shores? Should they not, in fact, be calling for any leading minds to contribute their ideas in helping to solve the problem? Nah, they just do what the Obama administration is good at, blame other people, do photo op’s to look like they’re doing something, and stir up public anger to punish businesses. I remember when BP were the glory boys of the Democratic party for paying them big bucks to get taxpayer subsidies for solar energy development. Hell, BP even put money behind cap and trade policies. They are one of the big Democratic party lobbyists and were the model of what oil companies should be doing, transitioning into alternative forms of energy. Now that they had an accident, Barack Obama does what he does best, make threats and try to make himself look better by attacking others. He needs to demonize businesses to hide the fact that he’s an incompetent president that doesn’t know what to do about anything other than just follow the Marxist theories he loves so much. Rather than being prudent and investigating drilling platforms in areas of similar situations, Obama just take a hammer to the whole industry and our entire economy by banning offshore drilling for half a year. What a stupid, petulant little child he is. Of course, that’s the aim. Keep us all down, overburdened and beholden to the government. The Democrats love absolute power and the restraint of prosperity.

So now we see how much the government can actually do when there is actually something that they are SUPPOSED to play a part in. So, should we keep giving them more and more power, more and more responsibilities, and more and more control over everything? As the jobs in the private sector continue to go down. The jobs in the government sector keep going up as they hire more and more bureaucrats and paper-pushers to regulate and run things that they can’t run well anyway.

Democrats Doing what they Do Best

1. Blame and demonize others to take the attention of an incompetent government.
2. Demonize business, period.
3. Don’t actually do anything other than spend a lot of money unwisely and blame others.
4. Do lots of photo shots to look like they’re actually doing something.
5. Make threats and swear to punish without actually trying to fix problems.
6. Hurt the economy so that everyone’s dependent on them for hand outs so they can control the people
7. LIE LIE LIE – “We’re in control of the situation!”

Keep up the Great Work on the Economy

If you like the way things are going, keep these assholes in charge.
