Common Sense Topic: Republican Debate Number 4 November 10

Round 1
Candidates                                          Position
Chris Christie                                      NJ Governor
Michael Huckabee                              Former Governor AK
Rick Santorum                                    Former Senator PA
Bobby Jindal                                       Governor LA
Let us review the reason Governor Christie and former Governor Huckabee was put on the earlier lineup was a punishment for standing up to Moderators during debate number three. They stood their ground and stood by their beliefs. Another stupid ass question was asked once again, “Which Democrat do you respect?” Governor Jindal set the pace on answering that question. He made it clear that the reason Republicans have lost the last two presidential elections is because, they have become a cheap imitation of the Democratic Party. They have lost their way. Rick Santorum responded with the fact Democratic Party is the one who stands up and fights for Americans, that is why they are winning elections. Of course, the golden promise “I will shut down the IRS” was given. I have been voting since I was eighteen, and every election, that was the promise. Yet here we are in 2015 going into yet another election in 2016 I will be 44 and the IRS is still functioning. As matter of fact, it is bigger than ever. No one in either round demanded proof that a federal law exist mandating we pay federal taxes. The next topic was VA system and the scandals. The medical system is a disgrace. Just down right shameful. I remember how my late father use to have fight just to get an appointment for prescriptions.
Every doctor they had come into the particular hospital dad went to that actually cared about Vietnam Veterans, got transferred within a year. I remember my dad being part of a story that Diane Sawyer did about an administrator openly admitted he detested Vietnam Veterans. We had a local doctor who was a Vietnam Vet himself, would take veterans and whatever payment the VA would pay. So, Santorum did not have this great idea. It has been around for years.
Rick Santorum went on a rant about we need to we instate the “Traditional Family” and stop punishing people for being married. Instead of offering incentives for cohabitation. First of all not all traditional marriages last. A few years ago, I remember a story in the news about a same sex couple who had three little girls placed with them through foster care. These girls lived in a “traditional” home with a mom and a dad which used drugs and alcohol on a regular bases along with abusing these kids. In the end the same sex couple got to adopt the three girls because they did not give up when all of the other “traditional” married couples did. In fact, the couple often paid for therapy out of their pockets. One of the people even gave up his career to be home with the girls. Therefore, a “traditional” home is not always the most stable. Sometimes an unconventional home can provide the best care and stable environment for a family.



Round 2
Candidate                                                                    Position
Donald Trump                                                            Developer
Ben Carson                                                                 Doctor-Neurosurgeon
Carly Fiorina                                                              Former CEO of HP
Rand Paul                                                                   Senator KY and Retired Optimist
Marco Rubio                                                               Senator FL
Ted Cruz                                                                     Senator TX
Jeb Bush                                                                     Former Gov. FL (Mentor to Marco Rubio)
They decided that raising the minimum wage was a bad idea. Never mind that $15 dollars an hour would help people, it would hurt businesses. That is bullshit for the simple reason GAP was the first to raise minimum wage and they are doing better than last year at this time. They offered no plans to compensate the difference of not raising minimum wage against the rising cost of living. It is simple. They do not have a plan. Nothing tangible.
Next up was the point that Carly Fiorina made about Medicaid not paying doctors for their services. Doctors are just people trying to make a living, put food on their tables, and keep a roof over the heads of their families. The fact is when doctors provide a service they expect to be paid for it. Just like a mechanic. I did not hear any of the candidates offer a plan to reprimand states for not paying for services rendered by doctors. Nor did I hear of a plan to hold parents responsible for the children they bring into their lives by making it clear that the parents will support their children. Even if it means enforcing child support.
They all showed their arrogance about Russia. Candidates continually forget the fact sometimes you have back the lesser of two evils. Over the last fifth teen years, we have dismantled five governments and we have been funding, training, and supporting ISIS and Al Qaeda. We have funded our heroine epidemic and our terrorist problems. Yet we are telling President Putin that we are willing to help with ISIS, but you will do it our way or no way at all. If you look at a map, you will see below Russia sets Turkey, to their right is Iran, and below them is Iraq and south of them is Syria. So whose backyard is ISIS shitting again? Oh yeah, Russia’s. For whatever reason Finland and the Baltic States got dragged into the debates. A word of advice to Finland and the Baltic States, when you see America coming your direction with a “Deal”, lock your border and barricade your defenses. Because the admiration will try to topple your government.
One last piece of business, Lyba, Egypt, and Syria are Islamic governments. Always have been and they always will be. They are not Secular governments. A Secular government does not stand by and allow people to decapitate for having a religion, which is not shared in a region. In addition, they would not allow people to be decapitated for not believing in any religion. Secondly, if you know this is the mentality of a region, why in hell are you going there? Dumbfucks. I would not go to a region knowing I would be decapitated for any reason. It is stupid. Over the last week Morning Joe made a statement that, the above countries are Secular. Get right y’all.

The next Common Sense topic will be about the Supreme Court and the power it wields. I have wonder how we can give them the same reality check that politicians get when they do not get reelected. https://youtu.be/WhRtWspLp6Q

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
