Catching up on the Idiocy

I have been too busy to write the last couple of weeks, but there are some things that just have to be addressed. In no particular order of insanity:

• The Beer Summit - Is this really the most important task the President of the United States should be attending to? Why is this even a story? Aside from the fact that the idiot, excuse me, Harvard professor acted like an imbicile and the police officer was doing his job and arrested somebody that deserved it? Which is a story that really should be reported more often: 99.9% of the cops are the good guys and do the right thing, but the only ones that make the news are the ones that screw up. For a good review of the situation read this article from the WSJ. Why is it that the common Democrat voter thinks the liberal elite is on their side? Do they just listen to everything they are told? Do they actually ever check the facts
• Could we please get Michael Jackson off the news? Arrest the doctor or give him a medal, but stop talking about it already.
• Why exactly are we trying to reform health care? The quality of care in this country is consistently ranked among the best in the world. Most of the country is covered by some form of insurance, and those that are not are able to get medical treatment at any emergency room in the country. The last thing we need is more government involvement; that never makes anything better. Do we need some changes? Sure! But the opposite kind that they are talking about. We need less government regulation and tort reform. Let the doctors do their job without undue burden of regulation and frivolous lawsuits. Most of the problem solved. Unlike our elected officials that are going to vote on this insanity, Jamie Dupree is actually reading it. Take look at what he is finding.
  
• Hillary vs Sarah - Now, I don't pretend to understand why Sarah Palin resigned as Governor of Alaska and I am not sold as to her future in national politics. However, compare her comments of the last week with the activities of Ms. Clinton. Our Secretary of State has spent her recent world tour condemning and insulting the United States: the country she is supposed to represent and recently wanted to be President of. Palin on the other hand has made statements that actually support, uplift and defend our country. Among the gems: "be wary of accepting government largess. It doesn't come free." ; "How about, in honor of the American soldier, you quit makin' things up?"; “Let us continue to love our country, be proud of our country, never apologize for our country.”; and this one is great! “I wish that some in the media would keep things like that in perspective, what is really important in our country. And what is important is our freedoms, America’s security, our liberty.”Compare that to some Hillary quotes; I'll let you look them up - I just had dinner.
• No free speach at the mall - At a Simon owned mall in Charlotte, NC a Kiosk owner has been denied a renewal of his lease. The reason? Well, Simon has denied any comment, but the common belief is that he is being kicked out because of the conservative nature of products. Bumper stickers asking us to "Impeach Obama", bibs making statements against abortion, and many products promoting free market ideals and a conservative agenda. I firmly believe that Simon has the right to lease space, or not, to anyone they feel like. But, can you imagine the media storm if they were to do the same thing to someone selling pro-Obama products?

There is a lot more, way more than I can cover in a night. The point is... PAY ATTENTION. They are counting on your apathy and unwillingness to engage your Congressman. Watch, listen, read and act.
