The Do Nothing Sect

The "Do Nothing," sect of the world is under pressure from outside forces to act on many levels within the convenience of stability. I kind of like the way it sounds. In many cases, we see status quo reactions to multiple tragedies and apocalyptic size of events daily and there is this stead-fast section of society that chooses to repeatedly ignore it for selfish reasons. Steady as she goes, leaders may bellow as receding shores of normalcy slip away. I'm referring to violence in America where we see at least thirty or more people killed by gun violence everyday. The cash registers ring and shots ring out time and time again. I guess were just suppose to turn a blind eye towards it and go on with life as usual, but eventually someone has to say, "Enough is Enough!" That's what Democrats are doing sitting on the House of Representatives floor, refusing to move until they get a vote on banning people from purchasing guns that are on a "No fly," list. Now it's been discussed and the No Fly list is a terrible attempt at combating terrorism because it's vague and has no appeals process, so essentially any American could be added to the list without due process. Now the political approach of justifying the protest action is that Democrats know that a vote will never come to pass. The point of the argument is to bring attention to the bills that are under scrutiny for revision or at least an up or down vote. These type of procedures will get elected members on record for their constituents back home to either support these principles or reject them. Now that is pretty powerful movement that is being created because essentially what has been a stalemate of almost a decade of non-action, will turn into many vulnerable candidates this fall. In crucial states, changing a minority to a majority for one political party. What you have is a whole party working together for a common goal and that's a powerful movement considering that the motivation has been lost and stagnant for a least a decade. We've seen the opposing party govern with the credibility of taxi cab driver in a city where no consequences prevail. Essentially the bar has been lowered so badly that now the best of the political candidacy the do-nothing party has to offer, comes from outside their own party. This is a disaster and a bomb-shell of epic proportion for their campaign and most of all their campaign supporters. They are fractionated and it's an every man, woman & child for themselves debacle. The massive movement of Liberal & Progressive power is being centralized around one particular issue and that's Gun Control. This framing of subjects will be a creation of atmosphere for the governing horizon of our country for years to come. Over 90% of the citizenship are in favor of some common sense Gun Control Regulation, so starting with an Anti-Terror/Mental Health gun measure that isn't a full proof plan, but it's a start. My opinion is this, we will at least establish a principle in the marauding field of No Principles and no Action. I waited along time before I decided to comment on these political theatrics because I wanted to review and research the information for accuracy before I stepped into the debate circle. Common Sense is the best measure of action in all situations and what it comes down to is that many areas of leadership, not just here in America, but in the World are being exposed for bigotry and prejudice on an unconscious level. The final straw for me was when I was reading into the Brexit examination of the European country of Great Britain to leave the European Union out of dissatisfaction with it's ability to promote economical growth. What struck me as odd is that the analysis was that The President of the United States submitted a proposal to the leaders of Britain back in April which focused on the Global Security of the world and the tie of the British Empire to the European Union through the UN Security council resolutions and thus the ability to coordinate and remove suspected terrorists from the sections of Europe where no law exists to do so and this was met with a response that essentially said, a descendant of Kenyan ancestry had no business interfering with Anglo-Saxon affairs. Now to be fair, English is an eloquent language and it results as a simple, "Butt Out." Mind you, we have to consider the reason behind the response and it amounts to prejudice. They dismiss his advice because he is black. At the same time when we go back to the debate on Gun Control and the issue at hand is the High Powered AR-15 and other War-time weapons like grenade launchers or High Caliber Rifles with Banana Clips and it's the same argument where it's okay to own these weapons if you are white, but not black. The way to back up the statistics on this claim is to look at state by state population and consider the breakdown in demographic by race. Of course the Southern States have the majority of rights pertaining to guns while the urbanized states have more regulated laws. This goes back to messaging and financial backing of the NRA. So for all intelligent considerations, arguing that common sense proposals and popular ideas have no basis simply because they come from minorities is ridiculous. Nobody cares where these proposals come from, as long as they are approved by the public. That's where the current majority is in trouble because essentially what is being revealed is that a majority doesn't necessarily mean better or sensible. I've been reading some evaluations on constitutional law and to my surprise the founders were aware of the balance of power within government and they built procedures within the Union they were forming to prevent willy-nilly leadership choices like the one's were seeing today. So today we see press releases on Immigration and affirmative action. Coincidence? I think not. What you have is this stir in the media to cover the tracks of their own creation. For at least eighteen months we've seen coverage of presidential candidates dropping one by one and sometimes three at a time to yield to a bully pulpit candidate that has proven by and large that he has no intention on pivoting to the center for a general election and that's where everything began to fall apart. In order to win a general election the candidate must appeal to wide range of voters not just the small fractions that vote in primaries for delegate capture. Essentially, records speak for themselves and the long range game plan is to endorse proposals that Americans accept as their principles. Although I'll admit many politicians will contort any and all language of branding and messaging to fit this picture, the essential check & balances comes into play election time. The scare tactics era has ended because the actual risk of danger has arrived. We are not in fear of having the government taking our guns, we are now in fear that they will allow them to flow into the hands of the wrong people, hence the race against race debate is outdated because we are all targeted for being American. Global Terrorism has taken root right here in America, but not through infiltration or immigration like the opposing party would have you believe, but through recruitment and conversion. On principle, these events are caused by revolting against a campaign of rhetoric proposed by the conservative party and it's blowing up in their face. When you promote racism, sexism and misogyny, the result is an extreme response that is devastating and has disastrous results. Acquittal of bad actors during societal upheaval is not the most attractive result. People are starting to see the risk in the underlying tone of your message. Just as I mentioned British exit from the European union or Brexit as it is tagged. Obama's proposal was not intended to point out favoritism or dogma of an elite society, but to highlight real risks in population security. This resulted in an appeal that came from a fractionated party with the vision that dividing people by color would be fit enough of an exercise to draw weakness into the picture. The problem with that argument is that is the same philosophical argument we are hearing here in America. The debacle is unraveling and those that point the fingers are being revealed as the dividers. Constitutional champions cheer freedom & liberty only when it suits their own agenda. Today we see leaders sitting in protest because the party of freedom & liberty will not consider a debate or any type of vote on a popular privilege such as the Right to bear Arms for fear of what the National Rifle Association will do to them come November. I called it a privilege and the definition sticks if you withhold the ability to own or possess a firearm to only apply to a particular Demographic and that is the fact that is being revealed today. This is neither leadership nor the will of the people in that Newtown, San Bernardino and now Orlando all have happened under the watch of the majority ruling party in both houses. No control measures, means no control and right now anyone can purchase a weapon that has no other effect on civilization other than mass annihilation. Even the inventor of the popular weapon has admitted that the intention of such a powerful firearm is meant for war-time activity, shattering the falsehood that it is used for hunting. So before the break going into the summer, the elected officials will have to dodge questions and run for cover, as they have just entered into a political firestorm of accountability with the added ammunition of having no direction in their fractionated party leadership and a contested nomination in their own candidacy for president. Nobody will get behind a plan that is going nowhere fast and it's an indication of a sinking ship. Every man, woman and child for themselves is not a democracy. In order to own the tragedy of their own making they will need to clarify their stance on the issue and defend their position on the floor of the house. Presently, they won't do that so the tactic of no business going forward until this issue is resolved is at hand. Apparently, blocking any meaningful legislation is not just a one party tactic. In fact, the Democratic party has used this tactic numerous times in the Reagan, Bush years. Once again, my opinion isn't in favor of an elite ideal or a superior art of persuasion, but a simple timing issue. You can be wrong on principle and right in honor of an ideal, but you can't be wrong on principle and wrong on an honorable idea at the same time unless you are blinded by some sort of threat. That is exactly the position these elected officials find themselves into today. On that note, lets go back to look at the European Union and the British Exit again. Russia is the threat as it has been annihilating the eastern European Border for two or three years if not longer. The people who reside to the fascist Divide & Conquer rules, don't seem to understand Global Politics let alone Global Economy. The U.N. isn't only a peacekeeping entity, but a council on trade. Once the British leave the council will they expect the same protection in the form of tariffs and economic trade? It is a common known fact that Great Britain is a world leader in cyber security. On that note, it's not a secret that they remain uncompromised by keeping American based technology such as Apple out of their country. That might be news to some here at home, but No Apple doesn't dominate the world as they would lead you to believe. The point is that it's because of the negotiation and agreements honored with the U.N. security council that G.B. reserves the right to keep out foreign competitors. Now once that's dissolved, so is the protection from competitors and not just in technology, but in banking and finance. So you see, just like it is financial suicide for the Gun Lobby in America to be appear to be against the people it's for or vice versa, it's in G.B. favor to be within the protection of a 28 country participation of understanding. I haven't even begun to question the border to border security or the international waters in that pointing out parliament is in the middle of a meltdown of epic proportion. Okay, so now that I've briefly summarized the Western conflicts let me tackle the obvious. This all relates to destabilization of the middle east and here is the kicker, how did the Persian Gulf and surrounding territories become destabilized? The short answer is, it's been destabilized since the Cold War, but what recent events in the twenty and twenty first century contribute to the mass ongoing conflict that we see today? If your answer is American presence in the region than your pretty close, but if you answered American invasion of Iraq then your correct. Yep, I'm going there. George W. Bush invaded Iraq under the pretense that they had Weapons of Mass Destruction. Remember that? The U.N. inspectors found no smoking gun and the American public found out it was all a revenge scheme on Sadam Hussein for trying to kill his daddy. Let's recount, Millions if not Billions of dollars in American funding to the region to go to who? Oh yeah, the defense contractor pals of his dads. Then we have 9/11 and then we have the Great Recession and then we have the Bank Bailout. Should I go on? Then we have the Arab Spring and then we have the fall of Libya and then we have Iran's Nuclear threat and then we have Kim Jung Un. I'm running out of breath here. Then we have Russia!! Then we have Libya and HRC's Bengazhi which is still being investigated I might add longer than 9/11 without a smoking gun. Meanwhile in America, you can purchase a weapon anywhere that is meant for those conflicts and attack people based on rhetoric that one particular Political Party is peddling today and guess what? They won't even keep the C-SPAN cameras on to cover what the other party is doing so the American public knows what is going on!! I think that about covers it. Did I forget to mention Donald Trump wants all Muslims under surveillance and to arrest those that "Might," have information on others. And… He's out of money. And… He's suddenly meeting with evangelical leaders to figure out a plan going forward. Plus he just gave a speech that cements his position in knowing nothing about any or all of the subjects that I just covered. Oh, one more thing. It was all his campaign managers fault, so the Donald got to utter his own famous words, "Yur Sooo Fired!" except he had his kids do it. What a Bastard.
