Anyone
voting based on any expectation of the politician looking out for the
little guy is sadly naive. Playing the class warfare game is the easy
way to power and money for the politician who is corrupt and lazy and
there is an abundance of lazy corrupt politicians. The median net worth
of members of congress is $913,000 vs $100,000 for the general
population. Congress' net worth has risen 25% since the 2008 recession
vs an average 8% drop in net worth of the average American during the
same time. About 50% of the members of congress are millionaires vs only
5% of the general population. Many of these defenders of the poor are
worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars. They take a
$174,000 paycheck yearly from you and me. Why? Most of them have more
more money right now than you, me and ten other people will make in a
lifetime yet they still take our money (poor people's money) to pay
themselves a huge paycheck most of us could not dream of ever having. If
they cared about the little guy they would say to themselves, "Let's
see, I have millions of dollars right now. The people I represent have
very little, maybe it's not right to take their money when I have more
than I could spend in 10 lifetimes already." They don't do this though
because they don't think like this. They are rich stealing from the poor
and your money is more important to them than you are. cjpost
According
to the news, 10 to 20 thousand people are killed yearly by drinking
these new high-energy drinks that are loaded with enough caffeine to
kill a horse. Why these ever became popular is beyond comprehension but
people voted for Obama so people have shown unexplainable poor judgment
in far worse ways I suppose. Looks like now you are more likely to die
from having an energy drink in the house than having a gun. With far
more kids now dying from energy drinks than guns we obviously need Joe
Biden to tell us what to do once again. cjpost
General
Stanley McChrystal has been making the media rounds promoting his book
and said something that caused me to lose all respect for him. He
stated that he had voted for Obama in his first term but would not say
who he voted for the second time around. Anyone stupid enough to vote
for Obama is worthy of exactly zero respect. I have noticed he is being
talked about as a potential democrat presidential candidate in 2016 if
Hillary decides not to run or potentially her vice president pick. If
you are a democrat these days you must be of the extreme-liberal
persuasion to run for major office as the only ones left in the
democratic party hierarchy are those left at the bottom of the looney
bin when everyone with a hint of sanity jumped out a long time ago. Come
to think of it, McChrystal might not qualify to be the party's nominee. cjpost
People
always amaze me when they demand a new law after a criminal act has
occurred with the expectation that it will prevent or reduce the
particular crime that inspired it. The law is not designed to stop,
prevent or reduce crime, it can not possibly do that and was never
intended to do so. The law is just a mechanism that is used to punish
criminal behavior after it has occurred. There is no known way to stop
criminal behavior before or during the act other than a counter-force of
sufficient strength, properly applied against the threat, after it
makes itself known. This means that the criminal use of firearms to harm
others simply can not be prevented with a law or new laws. Even if guns
were, by law, made totally illegal it would do nothing to prevent gun
crime. It would just change the place criminals would obtain their
firearms which would obviously be the black market. Foreign sources
would be thrilled to make and sell all the guns our criminals wanted to
buy, after all, they do it now with drugs. Drugs can't be stopped, who
possibly thinks guns could? So, unless we arm sufficient numbers of
teachers or guards in the schools we remain sitting ducks with no good
solution, only a new law that is not capable of doing anything. cjpost
