The Parasites of DC

The Ten Commandments for Poly-tick-cians (many parasites)

Cross-posted from Miss Beth…our own Legal Eagle!!

This came to my email today from my friend Angel.

********************

1. Thou shalt not rob those who work hard in order to subsidize those who hardly work. Note to politicians: If you really believe that drunks, druggies, and derelicts have a “right” to “equal housing,” open up the doors of your own home!

2. Thou shalt not send American troops into harms way — and then stab them in the back when they’re fighting at the front. Cut and run is not a sound strategy for military victory. Those like Mr. Murtha who are still fighting the War in Vietnam should not let their pitiful flashbacks dictate our foreign policy.

3. Thou shalt not kill unborn babies. Period.

4. Thou shalt not extort income taxes above 10% of the American worker’s annual earnings. If 10% is good enough for God, it’s good enough for government.

5. Thou shalt not grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Instead of rewarding them with a primrose “path to citizenship”, put them on the fast track to the Mexican border.

6. Thou shalt not surrender American sovereignty. There is no “global test.” There is no “precedent in foreign law.” And there is no need to continue subsidizing the UN’s Kofi Anan and his America-bashing band of predators, pariahs, and piranhas.

7. Thou shalt not pay yourselves one more dime than the average income of the American worker. If you truly want to represent us, learn to live within our means. Then, maybe you’ll stop robbing us blind and spending us broke. Perhaps if you learn first-hand how hard it is for the average American to balance the family budget, you’ll become a little more adept at balancing the federal budget.

8. Thou shalt serve no more than two terms in office. Remember us? We’re the ones who sent you to Washington mistakenly thinking you might one day want to return … The ones you seem to hope will now leave you alone, forget your phone number, and stop inundating you with FREE emails and ActiFaxes. Well, don’t count on it - because it’s never going to happen.

9. Thou shalt not continue to endorse, support, or condone the government’s ruthless persecution of Christians, Christian values and Christian observances. Let’s put it this way: Every year the Manger Scene is not back in the public square further diminishes your chances of getting back into public office. What exactly is it that you don’t understand about, “Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise [of religion]”?

10. Thou shalt not place yourself above the law. When you get caught driving drunk, don’t try to pull rank - just take the breathalyser and perp walk to the paddy wagon … When you assault a police officer, don’t claim the divine right of royalty … And when you get caught taking a bribe, don’t claim that “congressional privilege” means the cold cash is yours to keep.

Angel, my friend–you said it ALL in a nutshell!
