About time for term limits...........

As I see in recent events in Caracas, Hugo Man of a thousand faces has advocated that the term limit law be eliminated so his loving fans can have him for ever and ever as their El. Presidente. Now that makes me think on some level how has that worked for us?

Our President has two terms to make thing either bad, good or neither. but congress can go on forever......Note the low standings of our Presidents approval ratings...Bad... lowest in history some have said. Compare those ratings with Congresses(sic) Ratings......abysmal...

The American public has no confidence in our elected officials...Know why? Its because they don't get anything done, they don't pay attention what the people want, and they spend the bulk of their time in getting reelected....so now they have something akin to a roman senate or a house of lords only one that has real voting power.

Term limits my friend....give em two rounds like the president and then change over...really make those lobbyists work for their pay... make those Senators and reps work for it too throw in a budget cap on campaign spending and we have got a winning combo.....yeah I know some of that doesn't sound like a Republican position, but It seems like its what we need to do in order to get things done I mean look at any of us......we cant get together and vote ourselves a raise at work.... if you knew your replacement might get more than you did you might not be in favor of that raise....If you knew your time in Congress was limited you might work harder to get things done(I work better most times with a deadline) and you might go with what you really feel for your decisions and do whats "right" instead of what you think might get you elected......

Sometimes you have to shake things up a bit......

America aint as bad as it seems...........

Every time you turn around someone in the media, the political world or in a conversation about world events, talks about how the U.S. has lost world respect.

Is it because...........

Everytime there is a world disaster the US drops in Food and medicine? plus the people of the US give tons of money(more per capita than any other nation)

People are still trying to come here in droves not to kill us but to reap the benifits of our society and economic prosperity, our colleges and universities?

American culture is everywhere, From Ipods to Mcdonalds, KFC is probally planning a new franchise outlet for Kurdistan....(and the Kurds Love us.......)

Watched the John Stossel Report on 20/20 last night and It confirmed what I always thought.

and note how the hollywood Celebs love to gouge the country that gives them the freedom to gouge it.....Try being critical in public on the streets of Caracas....or on the airwaves...Oh um you can't thats been shut down already........

We are getting Brits trying to emigrate to the US,Canada,Australia. Why? maybe the european way of Govt just Isnt working out as well as hoped?

I dont know......But It seems America Aint so bad........

The News tires me........

I have been a news junkie since I was 10, During the First gulf War we used to watch all the flight after action briefings on Dish.....I used to think I would go into Journalism after HS. The Pivital moment for me was watching the press conference after the Challenger Disaster and my Father looked at me and said "Don't ask stupid questions if you become a reporter....." and It was true, they kept on asking the same basic question only rephrased....And it hasen't changed.

Also the old addage "If it bleeds it leads" has worn me down, you know I dont expect the world to be all sunshine and roses, but come on, there must be some good in this world. With the news Media if something good does happen and they report on it, the next thing out of their mouths is a Big But.........(something bad) Example....the Hurricane was downgraded BUT could(maybe possibly,)strengthen again....Maybe not the best example, but as usual my mind goes blank when at the keyboard......or it fills with so much that I want to put out there that I cant get a good full concise stream of info out......But I am new to this blog thing, I will work it out after a few postings...

The First blog.............

Well here it is....The First blog of a man who often shuns the vestiges of techiness(but If they come up with flying cars im a gittin one!)

I Figure if I want to get my opinion out there this might be the spot......You never know what comes of this info or who really reads it....But I wanted to vent off what I consider the "common sense" view of a few things without the rampant venom and polarizing postures.

Note the title of my blog, I am Working....im not poor really,but Im not rich. I was a registered Republican until I moved and then registered as Libertarian, but isnt much of a political powerhouse.I have some core values and beliefs from both parties and some disputes with some of their platforms, dare I say it a Democrat has a good idea now and again......

I dont have a paticular Issue to discuss today just feeling things out, as I said this is new to me.

but lets see what the next few days bring....If I listen to the news I am Bound to get ticked aboout something...........
