Conservatives Against Citizens

Conservatives have lost their way.

No, not all of them.  Just most of them.

I had the (unhappy) experience of sitting through meetings at both a city and county level on two separate issues recently.  It was an opportunity to see our “government at work”.  Much of the time spent in these meetings was spent by elected representatives posturing, lecturing and bloviating, rather than focusing on the merits of the business at hand.

In one of these meetings, the room was packed with people concerned about an issue.  Rather than move it to the front of the meeting, the issue was placed dead last on the agenda so people had to sit through hours of mindless commentary on issues not relevant to their particular concern.  At one point, nearly an hour was spent discussing a proposed vote which had absolutely NO impact on anyone, regardless of how they voted.

It was alarming to see conservative “champions” speaking and voting against the best interests of taxpayers.  The fixation on regulations, ordinances and political protocol has become the guiding light of even the some of the most conservative minds.  When common sense should prevail, officials default to codes and imaginary consequences to guide their votes.  The web of government intrusion has become so ingrained that the system conservatives have vowed to fight is the very thing that provides their guidance once the are elected.

The inability of Republicans to get it together on a national level runs all the way to state and local governments.  It makes me ask,

“What happens to their brains once they take the oath of office?”
