Something needs to be done about the US Congress. Nobody likes them, and apparently they hate the people that voted them in.

There are 4 boxes to be used in defense of liberty. The soap box, the ballot box, the jury box and the ammo box.
I have for too long neglected the 1st, and the 2nd and 3rd have failed us.
So, I have taken to standing on my soap box and speak out about the corruption and traitorous actions I see by those who are supposed to be leading us.

One of the traffic lights near a busy intersection went out for some reason, and the city responded by placing traffic cones in a seemingly random arrangement rather than fix it, thinking that it'd probably be alright. Within a 10-second span, there was almost two car accidents right in front of me, involving different cars.

Oh, and I had to cross that intersection. It was like having those Frogger nightmares again.

Debt crisis.

 It pisses me off that the government will not just do its job or is too incompetent to do so. They are paid pretty well for sucking at what they do .

[PyroDesu]

No, they're paid to do what they do best:

They're paid to lie!

[Aklyon]

No, they're just paid. Then they lie about it anyway and generally make a mess of everything.

Last time I checked, Congress's approval rating was 15%. That's lower than Bush's approval at its lowest.

At this point, I think it's probably safe to say it's even lower than 15%.

[Lysabild]

I am not surprised.

[RedKing]

At this point, I'm expecting the dead to rise JUST to express their disapproval of Congress, thus pushing their approval into negative territory.

Actually, I'd pay to see the "Founding Fathers" rise up, slaughter our current government, then rule over us as an enlightened zombie oligarchy. Quick, somebody find a mad scientist in the Northern VA area!


EDIT: According to the latest poll aggregates I can find, Congressional approval is at around 18% +/-2, while Obama is around 43 +/-3.

I will be smiling a shark smile when those bastards get kicked out of office.

Provided that their points of view changed with the common era, I would go for it.

Otherwise, I think I would kind of miss the ability to vote.  And be educated.  And do stuff other than have babies.

Wouldn't that depend upon which one would have the most to say?

The only person I would possibly trust to do the right thing with respect to women's rights would be John Adams.

And that's only because of his wife.  "Remember the ladies, John!"  Yes, please do.

Okay, so we make sure to blow off Jefferson's lower jaw and break his writing fingers. Hopefully there's enough of John Adams left to animate. Maybe we can finally implement his idea of a tricameral Congress, with the House, the Senate and an appointed chamber of the brightest minds from academic fields to inject educated opinion into the debates. We could call the third one the House of Braaaaaaiiins.

Hmm....we should probably make that one off limit to our new zombie overlords.

EDIT: Ninja'd on the John Adams-love.

[Lysabild]

Hmm, a thread discussing alternate government ideas forms might be educating. Invent the new communism for cereals.
