I was walking along and there it is, this memo.
Be back in a few millennium --God
If I was creative I would have tried to post exactly how I
saw it, but I can only reproduce the message.
Did my civic duty today and went to Jury Duty. Nothing exciting
And speaking of Constitutional items and founding Fathers
and other documents, they need to add the phrase life, liberty, and the pursuit
of insanity or life, liberty and the pursuit of caffeine. Nothing worse than
getting to work and realizing there is no coffee to brew in the morning. I hate
wasting money on over-priced coffee shop coffee.
I am sitting at home eating leftovers this evening while the
better half is out saving the world or humanity or whatever group she is saving
with her friends. And I thought I will just finish up this one dish so it won’t
go to waste. Believe it or not, I did finish it up and now I want more. Good
food is good food. Damn I do have a taste for more of it though.
And I am upset at McCabe, my own timing or the world. Pick
one, I can certainly pick all three. The headlines are full of McCabe talking
about the gang of eight. Shoot, this weekend I was going to talk about the gang
of five. McCabe stole my thunder.
Anyway and I know no one will agree with me, but the gang of
five Trump, Pence, McConnell, Pelosi, and Schumer all represent some part of
what is wrong with Washington D.C For each it is different, but you can point
to each of them and in them you find one aspect of the problem of DC. I am not
saying government, but that is part of it, but it is what and who are being put
into Washington by us, the people.
This has nothing to do with the above paragraph, but what is
it with Schumer and his glasses. They way he always looks down through them. Any
picture of him with those on are like the poster on the wall for the look of
the pretentious left.
I know, I know everyone hates a critic, but also loves their
guy or gal so no one will be happy with my statement above, yet in my eyes you
can pick apart each person and find an aspect of what is wrong with politics in
America.
And by the way, Bernie Sanders is running for President again.
I still cannot figure out why. There are multiple problems here including there
are too many “Democratic Socialists” for the majority of the country. Some of
the women running are going to run on the same themes he will. No offense, but Bernie
and Biden are old. The office of the Presidency wears hard on people.
We do need to legalize marijuana in the country, but Senator
Harris you should keep your private life private. And I have a whole set of public
policy ideas around legalizing marijuana, yet will leave that for another day.
It is not a good idea if you have a cause, to do something
stupid to make a point or whatever that guy Smollet did.
I think I know why I struggle with my political identity. I
still say I am an independent conservative, but it might be hard pressed for
some to see that. Here are some platforms I believe in, yet not in any
particular order of priority.
I am for renewable energy, but I also understand it will
take a generation or two to wean us off fossil fuels. I have ideas around this,
well I have ideas around all my platform so I will just leave it at that for
now.
I believe in small government. We should balance our budget.
I believe in the free market. Wall Street is responsible capitalism’s
worst enemy. Wall Street is just greedy, not productive for business. Please do
not be fooled.
We should legalize marijuana, but come down harder on the
addictive drugs. One note here, we should bust dealers hard, but treat addicts
as people that need help or sick, not as criminals.
We need to do something about mental illness in this
country.
I believe in the second amendment, but there is a difference
between supporting the second amendment and being an over the top gun advocate.
There is a difference. And I wonder if most people that scream the loudest
about protecting guns flouting the second amendment struggle to be able to be licensed
for a gun. Just a thought.
I believe pro life means treat life with respect from conception
to natural death and it means this in its entirety. Too many people give lip
service to pro-life, who don’t come close to truly being pro-life.
As for the above, we need to plan better for our seniors,
Social Security, healthcare, retirement savings the whole nine yards.
We need better public education.
You cannot legislate morality. You have to teach it, and we
are failing in that regard.
These are just a few thoughts.
I am still hungry so I am going to rummage the frig to see what
else I may find.
Cheers
