Sometimes they open their brain...

...  And its worse when its writing then when it is spoken.  So who is the offender now.  Did Bachmann say something, or Palin maybe?  It has to be John Boehner, Newt, or Bush "W", Could it be Dick Cheney?  When I say the title, thats what I was thinking, but no, they are all not guilty this time.  This time the person who opened his mouth, and committed to paper the asinine comment was Mr. Andrew Brenner from Ohio.  Yet another reason for me to never be caught dead driving through or flying over that state.

Socialism

This distinguished gentleman pictured before you is John Steinbeck, a few years before his passing.  Most of us read some of his work while in primary school, it was poignant even in the mid-90's as it was when he wrote his stories.  I feel that his work will stand the test of time, and invoke thought provoking emotions in young adults and teens for decades to come.

Sleaze that crosses the aisle

I'm watching the news. Of course most of the news was like yesterday and the day before..Chris Christie.
This blog post isn't about slamming on the Guido 
Also heard a lot about ultra-sound McDonnell and his indictments
This blog post isn't about slamming the GOP either though
Remember our good democrat Governor Rod Blagojevich who tried to sale Obama's senate seat?
Yeah sleaze crosses party lines

Here's my problem. I believe in a socialistic society. I'm not a commie and I enjoy my personal liberties as well but I do think we accomplish greater and more powerful things working as a collective rather than individuals separately. To do big grand things requires a big government and we see from my first paragraph that can be corrupt.

Here's my thought. I want to borrow some analogies from our conservative friends

Ya know how its not the gun that is problem but the crazy shooter. How we shouldn't blame the destruction of society on the firearm but the person behind the trigger. How a gun is just fine and serves a purpose in the hands of a responsible gun owner

I say government is not the problem but the immoral politicians. I say we shouldn't blame the destruction of society on government but the politicians cutting illegal deals. I think a government work fines and is beneficial in the hands of a responsible electorate 

Another analogy.

Regulation stifles growth and ties the hands of the market

We need to regulate politicians. Not government (we the people are the government,which is why we should never drown ourselves). Regulate, place stringent checks and balances on politicians, eliminate outside corporate money interest(VAPORIZE CITIZENS UNITED),crystal clear transparency a must. What will that accomplish?
It will stifle politicians and tie their hands forcing them to function and preform as we the people have elected them to do not for individual gain and profit 

BUZZWORD "GRIDLOCK"

SOLUTION "Independent Redistricting"

I am a dreamer. I believe humanity is greater than its mere numbers. I do not believe we are simply cogs in a machine but we are the very power source that fuels our society and world.

I think mankind can do great big things. I think it requires dreaming and planning on a great big scale. People will have to be placed in positions of power to accomplish the great big task...we the people must keep a great big hand on the throat of those people so they never make the mistake of thinking they are in control. If they resist "our control".....well resistance is futile

If Jesus...

If Jesus existed today, where would he stand on an economic chart.  Would he be a capitalist?  Maybe a socialist?  It might be that the man, who I do not believe existed, might have been an outright communist.  But lets back off that question for a moment, where you Jesus fall in the political spectrum.  Was the man liberal, conservative, libertarian or moderate?  To answer these questions, we need to have a basic understanding of what is what.  What is a liberalism, conservatism, libertarian, socialism, communism, moderate, and capitalist.
