Dippies and Rippies
Dippies and Rippies - Hippies that got into office.
The problems being addressed in Washington, DC are real. Our economy is weakening. The Health Care system is less health care and more system. We can’t just let terrorists attack…anyone. But the way our politicians are handling the issues of the day is more hippie than responsible representative!
‘Mom and Dad’ warned us about hippies. They said they are ’slackers’, ‘commies’ and ‘fools’! Whatever the names were that they called them, they called ‘em like they saw ‘em.
‘Slackers’ was from the hippies sitting around all day talking about the worlds problems. Discussion is what government is about! But the problem with the Dippies and Rippies is that they let the lobbyists and the special interests guide their thinking. Instead, they should be getting every opinion they can from their constituents and researching the effects of their bill. Why research when the information is brought to you, slacker!
‘Commies’ was from the hippies sitting in communes, sharing everything they had and finding a need to just get along. Taking care of your constituents is why politicians are sent to DC! But Dippies and Rippies feel the need to make issues out of problems they have nothing to do with. Then they try to make those problems their problems. And, finally, the solution has to be fixed by all of their constituents. Which is by definition, communism.
‘Fools’ came from how they were making choices without regard for the consequences. Making choices is hard. You have to make the right one at the right time. Dippies and Rippies get so emotional on topics that ‘if things aren’t done RIGHT NOW, every aspect of your life will suffer!’ Is that a threat!? No - it’s confusion. It’s fear. It’s the need to feel like you’ve helped. But it’s not wisdom; it’s foolish!
Our parents were smart because of experience. They didn’t attack your friends because they were your choice; they watched out for you and reacted to their instincts! They treated you with love because you are their own!
Rippies and Dippies are a problem in our government. These reasons are obvious. We have to hold them to OUR standards because they are OUR representatives! Terrorism would not have been as hard of a fight if they worked together! Our economy would not be in such bad shape if they would have researched the effects of their decisions. And everyone’s health care would not be OUR expense if they would have made the insurance companies and hospitals work things out with the patients.
We, as Americans, need to carry our weight and not let Rippies and Dippies do it for us! We need to force our opinions on them and insist they research their policies! Then we need to care for ourselves and when we have extra care for our neighbor!
Hippies are NOT an example of love and caring for your fellow man. They are an example of serving your own selfish needs(even if it is feeling loved) with as little effort as possible. Our politicians make quite a good living in Washington, DC, let’s make sure they earn it!

Another example of unresponsible citizens are those who blog all day long or complain all day long on national radio without really putting in an honest day’s work to actually fix the problems they constantly complain about. Sound familiar?

Getting back to the actual debate on healthcare…I think the President lost this first battle as the Senate is not prepared to finish debate before the recess. Not a bad thing and actually it is much better that they continue the debate and the research of the bill (as you constantly demand they do and I agree) and come back later with a much improvede Health Care Reform Bill…that way the President and the American People will benefit and win the much larger war on cost.

Mac wants “actual debate”?? Haha Yeah, it needs a lot of “much improvede”(sic) to be any kind of intelligent solution. Modeled after Medicare is not it! The government accounts for 60% of medical payments now and look how costs have gotten out of control. How does 100% bring costs down?? And without sacrificing quality of care?? You don’t know, cause you’re just a partisan dope who couldn’t take a real look at the problems even with an honest teleprompter.

The President admitted he hasn’t read the proposal he’s selling. That’s like Gutzon Borglum lighting a fuse without knowing how much powder he’s dealing with!
Mac, Is Obama stupid or is he destructive!

Just have to wait and see…he seems to want this done right, so, let’s give him that chance to read it over and make changes now. Have a great weekend!

Well, maybe if congress waits for him to read it, his Presidency will be over! Unless it’s more than 2 terms. lol
