Battered Voter Syndrome

Maybe Barrack was right.  Perhaps we grew up hearing voices telling us not to trust government and warning us about some crazy tyranny.  Barrack may be onto something by encouraging us to wave off those voices, to submit to them, to allow the government to work in the way Barrack sees fit.  Let's see what that means.

If we're going to accept government as a pathway to everything, we really have to get past the mistrust and overcome the idea that the abusive husband is somehow responsible for his actions.  Like the government, the abusive husband is misunderstood in that he really does know best.  When he beats his wife and kids, it isn't out of hate or misery.  No, it is out of love.  You see, the abusive husband simply wants what is best for his family, so he shows them attention.  The government is the same way.  If not for the government, we all might walk off a cliff because deep down inside all of us are lemmings seeking to follow a criminal down the path to destruction.

When the government prevents us from hurting ourselves, it is for our own good.  We cannot possibly know when to quit drinking sodas, smoking cigarettes, or how to take our birth control.  Likewise, the woman who received the severe beating from her husband ought not have looked at him so harshly or perhaps should have fetched his beer sooner.  The government simply needs more authority to do its job.  Without more authority to kick down doors, it is quite possible that even your next door neighbor may be abusing cats, or worse, molesting them.  We really need to put a stop to this tomfoolery.

Currently, as our government grows, we get more and more guidance, which of course we need to survive.  What if no laws existed to govern the production of toothbrushes?  Can you imagine the oral decay that would occur?  We would all look like the Deliverance Gang, yet not all of us actually grew up in Kentucky.  I don't want to worry about my teeth falling out simply because Toothbrush Inc. decided to sell me a pipe cleaner as a fake toothbrush.  How will I know without government inspections on the toothbrush plant?

In short, the government is not at fault when the NSA spies, the IRS bullies, or people die in Benghazi.  In Fast and Furious, those weapons needed to be sold to druglords in Mexico in order to punish supposedly law abiding gun owners.  We all know they aren't law abiding.  They simply had not had the time to commit a crime yet, but they will eventually.

Give the government the benefit of the doubt, and stop hating abusive husbands.  Better to be abused and loved than to have never been loved at all.  The shackles only hurt a little bit and even then only for a short period of time.  Relax, it's just a pin prick.
