When a congressman or Senator tells America that they are conservative and then act in a progressive or liberal manner this my friends is called a bait and switch and in most situations will not be tolerated, I myself like to call this what it really is, a lie. Recently John Boehner a Republican and the Speaker of the House told America he would do everything he could to defund Obamacare and control the President with the power of the purse and then his first act was to give the President all the funding he asked for. This was John Boehner showing contempt for the American people after the American people listened to his party and elected them in mass.
The American people should feel betrayed by both parties as they slowly change from Liberal and conservative to socialist, of course they do not call it socialism that would be bad, they call it progressive as if the only way to move forward is through a socialist idea, that my friends is simply not true.
Some Americans feel that conservatives do not like change and I was reading earlier this week that the encyclopedia Britannica defines conservative thought this way but in reality conservatives are just leery of change that is not functional and I think many from both parties would say there has been way to much change that is not functioning at the moment.
The bait and switch has taken many politicians and presented them as liberals or conservatives and in reality they are neither, John Boehner is a prime example but not the only one, one might point out Charlie Rangel or even our current President. The thing to remember here is if the elected officials are trying to make this country more socialist, I would have to ask why, socialism in most cases fails and free markets have brought more people out of poverty than any other system (Just ask Bono. The USA is not a socialist nation so why interfere with the free market with socialist ideas? Well the only real reason I can think of is that being socialist keeps those same people in charge, powerful and wealthy, I guess I wonder shouldn’t the rest of us get a chance at prosperity also?
On the Eleventh day of Christmas I give you the Bait and Switch and ask you to beware of all politicians that practice this method of lying.
