Honest Emotion in the U.S. House Chamber

South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson (R) let his emotions and need for honesty get the better of him during the Presidents speech before Congress Wednesday night. While he is taking criticism for his outburst Rep. Wilson issued an apology for his outburst. The ‘Office’ of President does need to be respected so does the Chamber of Congress. Many lies or misleading statements have come out of that building. If you have ever seen coverage of speeches given in Parliament in England by anyone even the Prime Minister there is no shortage of opinion being given during the speech. In my opinion there needs to be more interaction on the part of our elected representatives so that we know that they are actually doing something on our behalf.

I grow tired of the party line canned statements after each speech, a little honest emotion shows honest opinion. Our government is broken. It is nothing like what our founding fathers wanted. There is too much government at the federal level. Our federal government was originally designed to hold together a confederation of states and to provide for common defense, to represent our group of states as a whole to the world. Two hundred thirty three years later our government has grown into a monster that acts like the US citizens our morons that can not do anything for themselves. Our elected officials in national office have taken too much power away from the state and local governments and that needs to change.

It is not completely the fault of those in national office, the people have let this happen and our doing nothing to stop it. The laziness of the American people to let someone else deal with it has given birth to this monster in Washington DC. Americans need to remember their history classes, read the federalist papers and the founding documents of this country then maybe they will remember that the true power of America is in their hands and not in the offices in Washington DC.
