voting your conscience

 Woke up to find the government is shut down. Business as usual. I'm not going to discuss the merits or lack thereof in this posting. I'll just wait and see. All I will say is in the final analysis it'll be about money, not morality or justice. It is that that disappoints me. But I said I wouldn't talk about that. Should we really uphold the rule of law, or just ignore it when it proves of political value to do so ? But I said I wouldn't write about any of that. Did we elect our representatives to cast their votes in favor of feelings above constitutional law ? Are they to vote whatever they perceive the social conscience to be ? Is reelection more important than procedure ? But I said I wouldn't mention any of this. Should the Senate vote in favor of illegal aliens and disregard the actual citizens that put them in office ? Is that what their job is ? But, I said I wouldn't discuss this. An entire political party has hung its' hat on 800,000 illegal aliens. The DACA dreamers ! Did this same political party shut down the government when Rosa Parks sat on a bus ? Did this political party shut down the government in protest over conditions in Detroit ? Has this political party ever shut down the government in favor of any minorities in this country ? No, the answer is no. But this same political party has shut down the government in favor of illegal aliens. But I said I wouldn't mention any of this. And so I'll remain quiet.
 My hope is that this does serve as a sort of wake up call. I hope it forces some to take a hard look at reality. Unfortunately it won't happen until their pocketbooks are effected. Let Starbucks close or the fidget spinner factory go out of business and things will change quickly enough. No crayons for you ! Let the free handouts be withheld and attitudes will change. All of those that stand behind the great " socialist " movement of enlightenment will definitely adopt a new outlook. It's a wonderful to have dreams. It's a great thing to have dreamers. It's even better when you don't have to pay for those dreamers out of your own pocket ! We'll see, it's time to pay the piper ! But I'm not going to talk about any of this.
 I will say this, if you vote your conscience you must also be prepared to accept the cost of that decision. Government is run by rule of law. That is how civilized people do business. How can withholding lawful services from citizens in favor of illegals be made with good conscience. The oath of office every elected official is subject to plainly states their duty is to the United States of America. Their duty is to those citizens ! But, I'm not saying anything about that.
