When Congress had a conscience

For the retreat and defeat crowd.

Townhall.com::When Congress had a conscience::By Janet M. LaRue

Congressional cowards ply our troops with insulting platitudes, while undermining their congressionally-mandated mission.

If the Civil War Congress had been the moral equivalent of today?s Congress, I would expect to find a circa 1862 ?War Resolution? debate in the Congressional Record titled, ?Frankly My Dear Union Troops, We Don?t Give a Damn.? It assumes there were members of Congress honest enough to say what they meant.

Personally, I think Congress is a massive failure, but make no mistake, I support all those heroic members who are wasting their lives pursuing failed policies. The public educational system obviously failed them. Thus, they?re stuck in Congress because they?re too dumb to get a real job.

Where?s their exit strategy? What?s the time-line for their withdrawal? How many years must we fund failure? I say two-terms or we defund them. But remember ? I support them.

Truth-be-told, I?d like to defund them now. But again, make no mistake, I support the congressional bait-and-switchers, or I did before I didn?t.

But if I knew then what I know now about what they knew then but don?t know now, I?d qualify as one of Chuck Schumer?s ?mainstream? jurists or to form a presidential exploratory committee.

I have a resolution for members of Congress.
