  8. Our government should be equally composed of city-dwellers and rural folk -- maybe then we'd stand half a chance of having federal laws make sense.
  9. Each politician should be required to pass a test concerning the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution (with at least an 80% passing rate the first time). The score required to pass should go up with each successive term until it hits 100%, yielding "No Politician Left Behind"!
  10. Income tax should be a flat percentage and the Federal budget outlay must equal the intake in taxes -- no exceptions! If we don't have the money, we don't do it!
Is that enough to start with?

Oh, and seeing as how I'm going to end up getting myself involved in politics, I should probably warn you that a lot of my college courses (undergrad & grad) involved communications, research, debate, persuasion, media, etc. You all should be afraid...be very afraid....


Your opinions are welcome! And, they are valid. Again, should we, as Americans, stand by as The WON, ruins our society, our country? I think not!

BTW, does Item #3 have anything to to do with your current feelings/emotions? No problem; us guys have had years of experience, in dealing with that timely event!

Please, don't stop now! You're on a roll!

Re #3 -- nope,not yet, but it'll get here eventually so regard yourself as being for-warned!

And, no, I'm not standing by for anybody to ruin our country! Too many good people have fought, sacrificed, and given up many things, including their lives, to make this country what it is today. I am proud of my country and NO ONE is going to tear it down without me kicking up one helluva fuss about it!

YOU are a person I am proud of, conversing with! More people like you, and Bann, (yes, I saw your post, as well) need to voice your thoughts, your displeasures, the way we are seeing our country being let down!

People, in the WON's corner, keep saying "He's only been in office for 2, 4, 6, or 8 months now. GIVE HIM A CHANCE!" Well, WHAT has he done??

Go ahead, name it!?! Are we better off, than we were 8 or 10 months ago?

Yeah? Please, tell me - how, or why??

People are judged by the company they keep and the company Obama keeps is bad news.

Homosexuals, Race baiters, terrorists, Communists, Baby Killers, all those people your Mom and Dad warned you to stay away from.

Look at the Organisations that support him, ACORN, SEIU, Unions, Black Panthers, Farrakhan, CAIR, Nambla.
