Friday's Rant: Where Do I Begin?
So much to rant about this week. Last night, I leaned back in my couch, scratched my chin and pondered what to write...
I could start with more on the Obama cultists...But then I thought, I've already written about these sheep so much, I'm kind of tired of it. There are two kinds of people in this world: Those that think this guy walks on water, can do no wrong, is the second coming of Jesus, or, like me. Like every other cult - ration, logical reason doesn't apply to these people. Enough said.
So after I passed on writing about the Obama cultists, I thought about the bailouts, fiscal stimuli, Keynesian economics and other types of creative math. I thought about how our government has poured literally trillions of dollars down a rat hole and nothing has changed. I thought about the new AND IMPROVED fiscal stimulus package proposal on its way. Trillions more, no doubt.
I thought about tax cuts. Rather than spend my money on B.S. "infrastructure" - union payback projects, why not just let us keep more of our money - the money we earn? I'll put my hand on the holy tax code right now and swear to Lord Obama - the first thing I'll do is by a 47" flat panel LCD TV - just give me a tax cut. My mind drifted off to my old Economics classes...something about printing money and inflation.
My thoughts then turned introspective. Could I be wrong? I doubt it. I looked at Ol' Col. He agreed.
I thought about the war on terror and and our new president. What does it say about his priorities when the first thing he does is stop the terrorist trials and close down Guantanemo Bay? I thought it interesting that he has more interest in justice for terrorists at the Guantanemo Bay resort prison than the rest of us. I thought about how I didn't really care WHAT they do to the terrorists - ever. I then thought about the 240-some terrorists at Gitmo. How they would all fit nicely in the cargo bay of a C-130. How convenient it would be to fly them out to the middle of the ocean and open door. Problem solved. I believe, in Latin American countries, it's referred to as "being disappeared." I'm cool with it.
I thought about the Pittsburgh Steelers. Nothing to rant about there.
I grew a little more anxious, was this going to be the week I can't decide what to rant about? I kept pondering...
I flipped open the laptop and began to read...looking a little more certain that Franken's going to steal the election. Great.
This morning I see Obama's lifting the ban on funding for groups that perform abortions abroad. Ugh. I guess that's change.
So, here I sit. What to rant about? I'm sure I'll think of something...
Breathe in, breathe out...there will be another election.
