Kindergarten Logic

For years, I had this notion that I knew everything there was to know about everything there was to know about. And then I graduated from kindergarten.

What is it that causes us to stick to the idea that we can't learn a thing or two? We are like containers that can't hold another ounce of junk! If you consider yourself pro life, then you will fight tooth and nail to elect a candidate that is pro life. And when this candidate is elected we will be off to war to kill people in some far off land. So the pro lifer in us is also a warmonger! Someone explain this to me.

We want strong national security, so we send our troops half way around the globe leaving the nation that is to be secured with its troops day or weeks away form the nation they are supposed to be securing. This is kinda like owning a gun, with the safety on, unloaded with the shells in the other room in the gun vault! But we are pro 2nd amendment! Democrats are supposed to be peaceful folks that consider themselves the most tolerant people in the world. That is when it comes to racial and gay stuff, but when it comes to faith they cannot stand the pro life Christian! So this tolerance is conditional. I love getting into a Theological discussion with a Liberal who chants "All we are saying is give peace a chance." And they truly believe that Allah and Jehovah are one in the same G-d. Yeah right! Any religion will do I guess, but don't give me that faith where you get the freebie...Oh no! "I want the religion where I get to take credit for being a good little boy. I wanna earn my way into Heaven."

Good luck with that. Let me know when you have reached the 32 degree!

Naturally we all believe the official story of 9-11 because we all have this old fashioned idea that our Government wouldn't lie. But let's say that the official story is true and it was the hated Islam that brought those towers down....and building 7...and put a hole in the Pentagon. One President later we are saddled with a man that has a Muslim name and yet claims to be a Christian. And our troops will be over there forever. We start pulling them out of Afghanistan, and the country starts talking about the relief of the war being over and yet, no one is coming home. They are being re deployed.

Then we have the sudden killing of Ben Laden by a team of Navy Seals. They bury him at sea as per Islamic law (I didn't know Muslims were sea faring people) within 24 hours with no record, no interrogation....nothing. Just toss the body in the sea. Later on, members of the Seal Team that killed him die in a helicopter crash. So the Seals die in a crash in the desert, and Ben Laden is buried at sea. Have I entered the Twilight Zone?

Ron Paul is ignored in the 2008 election, and when the election is over and Obama is sworn in, the media all come rushing up to Ron Paul and want to know what the "Elder Statesman" expects to see happen. Funny, a few months earlier he was an old man that was out of touch with the country. Now we are heading up to the 2012 election and the once "Elder Statesman" has once again become the befuddled old man that must be ignored by the media until the election is over and won by a new version of the same theory that America must have a young President who has retained all of his hair. I don't think John Adams retained much of his hair and Ben Franklin looks like the guy on the Quaker Oats package. I guess these two would never have cut it in today's political environment where hair is more important than substance!

Sara Palin was with a basketball star! OMG! The man in the Whitehouse thinks he is a basketball star! HE SHOOTS HOOPS! I guess I am more of a baseball guy myself. And I didn't realize that Palin was running. Maybe as Perry's VP but we shall see.

So the political season is upon us and we are seeing the same tactics as last time. When the election is over, Ron Paul will become this generations Barry Goldwater in the history books and life will or will not go on. We will continue down the same path we are on now but the political talk shows will be quiet for a little while because they will have Perry/Romney/(Obama not)/Palin/Newt/Santa Clause in the White House giving gifts to all the usual suspects, empowering those that will be the death of this country even more. And the Federal Reserve will get a reprieve.

It is a little like the old Communist pattern. "Fight, fight fight. Talk, talk, talk."
