Idiot of the Month
Ok... who is the idiot of the month? Is it the parents who almost killed their 2 year old by giving him methadone (other two kids are now in CPS custody because parents have no common sense), the gym teacher that had sex with a 14 year old student, or the lady who set her "former friend's" house on fire because she defriended her on facebook? Bunch of numbnuts!

A Cry for Justice
We are too lenient with criminals in America.
All murderers should be executed immediately after being found guilty. Why do they go to prison for life or sit on death row for 20 years and become a burden on the countries taxpayers?
Any adult who rapes a child.... 12 years old or under.... should be executed. And the family should be able to flip the switch if they want to. All other sexual crimes should be punished by castration.
If you steal something, you have to pay restitution ten times the amount. Second time you are caught stealing you lose a hand.
It doesn't make any sense that we just send all these people to prison where they can get an education and free health care at the expense of taypayers.... not to mention what it costs to keep them locked up year after year.
I hate it when I hear people talk about criminals as if they should have rights. How does it make any sense to say that someone who took a life has the right to live?

CEO Salaries...
Does anyone else see anything wrong with the CEO of JP Morgan Chase making $42 million a year. He is the highest paid bank executive in the nation. And they couldn't work with me on refinancing my home?

Government Collapse
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship." - anonymous
The U.S. is a democratic republic, not a democracy, but this is still thought provoking. Our government just keeps getting bigger and regulating more. Every month we spend more than we take in. If it were a corporation, it would have gone under long ago. It is just a matter of time before it collapses.
There are way too many Americans who are too stupid to see this and vote for politicians and laws that give them more and more from the "public treasury" for doing nothing. They vote for bigger government and more regulation. We are moving toward a nation dependent on a government that cannot stand forever if we continue to let it overtake every aspect of our nation. When our government is so closely tied to our economy and provides for so many dependent people, what happens when the government collapses? We are in trouble!

Death of Common Sense
Obituary of Common Sense !
Today, we mourn the passing of an old friend by the name of Common Sense.
Common Sense lived a long life, but died from heart failure at the brink of the Millennium. No one really knows how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He selflessly devoted his life to service in schools; hospitals, homes, factories and offices, helping folks get jobs done without fanfare and foolishness.
For decades, petty rules, silly laws and frivolous lawsuits held no power over Common Sense. He was credited with cultivating such valued lessons as to know when to come in from rain, the early bird gets the worm and life isn't always fair.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn), reliable parenting strategies (the adults are in charge, not the kids), and it's okay to come in second.
A veteran of the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, and the Technological Revolution, Common Sense survived cultural and educational trends including feminism, body piercing, whole
language and new math.
But his health declined when he became infected with the "if-it-only-helps-one-person-it's-worth-it" virus. In recent decades, his waning strength proved no match for the ravages of overbearing federal legislation.
He watched in pain as good people became ruled by self-seeking lawyers and enlightened auditors. His health rapidly deteriorated when schools endlessly implemented zero tolerance policies; when reports were heard of six year old boys charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; when a teen was suspended for taking a swig of mouthwash after lunch; when a teacher was fired for reprimanding an unruly student. It declined even further when schools had to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student but couldn't inform the parent when a female student is pregnant or wants an abortion.
Finally, Common Sense lost his will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, criminals received better treatment than victims, and federal judges stuck their noses in everything from Boy Scouts to professional sports.
As the end neared, Common Sense drifted in and out of logic but was kept informed of developments, regarding questionable regulations for asbestos, low-flow toilets, smart guns, the nurturing of Prohibition Laws and mandatory air bags.
Finally, when told that the homeowners association restricted exterior furniture only to that which enhanced property values, he breathed his last.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son Reason. His three stepbrothers survive him: Rights, Tolerance and Whiner.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

Mormons are a cult?
As we all know, Pastor Robert Jeffress, a Rick Perry supporter, recently stated that noone should vote for Mitt Romney because Mormon's belong to a cult and are not Christian. Does he realize that the Mormon's belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? That is the official name of the mormon church. "Mormon" is a nickname that was given to the members of the church because of the Book of Mormon.
Anyone who worships Jesus Christ is called a Christian. Apparently, part of the evangelical argument for Mormon's not being Christian is that the "founder" of the Church is Joseph Smith. Actually, the founder of The Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Jesus Christ. And even with that argument, that would mean Lutheran's are a cult as well because they were founded by Martin Luther. Ridiculous!
If believing in the bible and Jesus Christ, supporting the family as the basic unit of society, and trying to be law abiding citizens makes Mormons a cult - so be it. Call 'em whatever you want.
Noone should vote for Rick Perry! He should have distanced himself from this pastor and clarified his statement immediately.

Doggonit
Apparently, the 2010 census revealed that there are now more households in the U.S. that have dogs than children. I'm all for pets adding to our quality of life.... but for all those people out there who chose to have a dog instead of a child - you are missing out! Are we really putting having dogs above having children? Scary!
