Please excuse the title as I thought it was necessary for this blog entry. The phrase comes from a good friend of mine who I went to high school and played tennis with who would say these words to whomever would get in his business and would not leave him be. Used strictly for comic relief of stress on the court, the phrase became widely used between the fellas and I, and so I use the phrase in reference to our National Government in the sense that they are way into our business and need to lay off. Like a pair of stingy parents, our government heavily snoops into our lives and plays a much larger role than to protect and serve the people. It is my belief that our government's only purpose is to play a much similar role as our local police authorities, where they (should) merely patrol our homeland, keeping the crooks and thieves in order and protecting the commonwealth, and to serve the people as needed. "To protect and serve." Sound familiar? This viewpoint of mine has become known as being very conservative, which I must say should be the viewpoint of all "Americans," and I leave it to this reason alone. I ask you, how many of you (as children and/or adolescences) grew up wanting to live your lives with little to no interference/help/assistance/whatever-you-may-call-it from your folks and request that they merely provide you with the two basic levels of needs(based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs), which are your basic life needs(clean air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, etc.) and your safety needs(protection, security, limits, stability, etc.)? If you are like myself then you will realize that our national government should play a very similar role in our lives as we do with our parents. I'm sorry if it has to be a "conservative viewpoint," but I honestly don't give a shit. Sorry.
Right now, the way I see it, there are too many needy and dependant people in MY country that don't know how to survive in life if they don't get their Welfare check in the mail next Monday. (Yes, that is an example) OUR government needs to lay off, let US deal with the day-to-day bullshit, make YOU get off your lazy ass and get a job(how about hire you, make you a government employee, eh?), and stop being so G*D Damn generous by shovelling millions of dollars into the "Daddy's little girls" who get what they want whenever they ask, I say fuck that shit! If you agree with me when I say our government should be opperating more efficiently, then DO NOT accept the money if you DON'T NEED IT!!! Get a job!!!

"Here's a Thought:" Do you realize how many metaphors you can come up with by comparing our government to parents? Daddy's little girls? Simply genious!
(If you subtract that last little scribble of words, you'll have yourself just under 500 words.)

I agree completely with what you were saying. I'm a firm believer that Government should stay out of people’s lives as much as possible, with the obvious exclusions such as thief's and rapist's. The Government is doing a horrible job right now. Example; a war that the Government declares isn't a war but looks suspiciously close to what a war would look like? Hmmm. Also the leeches, homeless, heiress’s of America should get off their lazy bum's and get a job, be respectable. Most of the women on welfare even choose to be there because it's easier than living life; it is disgusting to me. Keep on rocking, you put it better than I ever could.
