Congressman Mark Foley of Florida resigned from Congress amid charges and allegations he had inappropriate e-mail contacts with a former teenage page in the House of Representatives. So what is the real deal? What's really going on? You can read the press long distance and watch television, but you'll never get to the real story in that way. You have to ferret it out for yourself, and that's what we did. We talked to the promoters and shakers, to learn what's really going on.
First of all, no one has the right to violate the sanctity of the world of a teenager. In our country young people are protected and given rights just because they are young. I'm at an age where they can not defend themselves. It 's the sign of an advanced society that we have chosen to protect them, as well as we should.
People who prey on our children must go to jail for the rest of their lives. No need to give such "scum" a second chance. We must not take this opportunity, giving them another chance. It 's also the symbol of an advanced society that the authors of our Constitution has gone out of their way to protect the rights of criminals. Than any other company on earth, here is one observer who thinks we do a good enough job. Now, having said that what is happening in Washington?
First of all, neither party has a stranglehold on ethics. The Democrats just stole the money over the years, as the Republicans. What you spend on may be different, but the money seems to disappear in both cases, with little to show for it. The first rule of government, and I personally learned from Noble Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman is that "whoever is in power, loves to spend money."
Ronald Reagan was a hero of mine. No one could spend money like him, until this president is. At least Reagan bankrupted the Soviet Union and drove them from power. What does Bush have to show for his trillions? A war without clearly defined objectives, and hundreds of billions in pork spending that no society can afford. He is the first president in my life who has chosen not to exercise the power of veto.
This gay Congressman was not a sleeper. People around him knew his peculiarities. They chose to ignore them for their own reasons. Foley is in progress, the senator from Florida a couple of years ago, and the party torpedoed the candidacy of Mel Martinez to give it for fear that word would get out.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives knew something was up and decided to keep quiet. Not realize that these guys by now that 'things are not BLOW OVER. "Word goes out, he always does, whether it's Hewlett Packard trying to turn off the tapping company, Enron, or trying to bury their financial problems lies in a Wall Street. You can just keep that game going for so long, and then somehow things go wrong.
If the Democrats are powerless smart, they will say nothing and do nothing about this story of Mark Foley. The world of the Republicans is steaming right before their eyes. These are men who say they are conservatives, but know nothing about conservatism. Arizona Republican Senator Barry Goldwater conservative who started it all, would be horrified at what is happening in his party today. He might not be able to call himself a conservative, whether it was alive.
Foley was the head of a subcommittee of the House who took care of exploited children. She speaks of living a lie. Where we as citizens of a free society, if elected to think that it's okay to marry one thing in public and then do the opposite thing in private.
I would like to ask our elected officials, "How stupid can you be? As a contribution to society? The rest of us are out here to support ourselves, making our schools better, and improving our local communities. You guys just live with the collective decency of the rest of us. You spend money as if it were unlimited. You can eat in good restaurants, but your basic salary is not big enough to support your lifestyle. Who pays for these lifestyles? If they are not citizens of those, what do you expect in return.
Mark Foley is a symbol of something terribly wrong with both parties. It 'a climate of everything is going well, and I am above suspicion. I am not responsible. Is this really the message we want to send the next generation. Foley, this sick, insane Congress wants to hide behind the fact that he was drunk when he committed these acts. Really, really think that the rest of us are going to fall for his senseless chatter?
As I mentioned in this article that I am generally optimistic about my country. What keeps me optimistic today is the power of the Internet. It 's something that the founding fathers would be amazed. Yes, there is too much "noise or chatter out there. Yes, you must be concentrated to obtain the density change quantity of information that is available to everyone. Ah, once passed, however, that noise, there is a liberating experience awaiting each of us. We have the power to obtain all the information we want on any subject.
We are not using the vast knowledge, but we will. It 'is conceivable that by 2008, the Internet will completely change the look of American politics. The political process as we know it will be unrecognizable from where we are today. With the information there is power, and people will have choices that do not have today. There is a new freedom to come and with it, a shift of power to the people.
