The boys are at it again. Back on health care. And, to their credit, it’s gonna be the news of the day. For many many days.
For example, the new House is going to convene Wednesday and theya re going to, repeat, going to, vote to releal Obamacare. Gonna happen.
And then we’re in a world of debate as the country wrestles with this problem throughout the next two years. And when I say 2, I mean that Obama is going to be fighting this through his next election campaign.
Anyway, onto Brad and Britt

2010 saw the power of people. For the first time we saw strong, committed conservatives take to the streets. The movement grew from individual to individual. All of America was swept up as everyday Americans gathered arm in arm to protest bad policy, bad politics and bad politicians.
And it worked. Scott Brown in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Virginia in 2009. And, of course, the massive statement made this past November.
It’s clear, America capital “L” loves Tea!

In the private sector, a service is something that is meant to be maximized; made better. This in an effort to lure more and more people into purchasing you r product – your service.
When the government is doing a service it take monopoly share of the market. It’s illegal for FedEx and UPS to deliver packages to a mailbox [ a mailbox that I purchase by the way ]. The government licenses cars. Issues driver’s license. The government educates our kids. All of it, they mandate .
But the service they provide turns from something that is meant to be grown and made better to something that is meant to be minimized and made cheaper.

So, I like to go the YMCA and work out sit in the hot tub, steam room and sauna on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
On my way home, I drive right by the Leesville Taproom, if by “on my home” you mean taking a leeft when you should take a right.
And because I simply MUST make sure that they don’t need the help of an old decrepit bartender, I stop in to check on ’em. I like to have a couple beers and make my way home.

Wanna know what it is? The shortest word in the English language?
‘ere!
The word spoken after a toke on a joint and passing to the next in line.
And it would seem that America is a LOT closer to becoming familiar with that than we ever believed:
When the conversation among evangelicals turns from the “evils” of weed to the statistics of crime and incarceration, the war is over. It’s only a matter of time.
And about time too!
I know candy and sugar and stuff is bad horrible for me. I KNOW it.
And I know that when I eat garbage like that it only does more harm than it does good.
Except, for, you know, two things:
But when the government gets involved, BOOM goes the dynamite!

There are some that would have you believe that in order to ensure freedom, we must first restrict that same freedom.
That we must take a system that exists in the exact way and manner we desire, change it, all to make sure that it never changes into that condition it has never demonstrated.
And these are the same people that lobby for ever ore and more government. All in the noble name of “Freedom” and “Liberty”
My advice to you:
Beware the freedom fighter who approaches you with the chains of bondage.

For too long, the very institution on the spear’s tip of delivering liberty to us all has been suffering from the restriction of that very liberty.
This year, the United States of America righted a wrong and rescinded the prohibition of gays serving openly in the military.
And it’s long passed time.
They did it again.
Inn an effort to “do something” about a “problem” people have turned to legislators to “fix” the “problem”.
And, in this case, the problem is…….
Cribs.
Drop-side cribs to be specific.
Done. Kahput. Banned.

With the advent of the Tea Party we’re seeing the tax debate being held more and more in the public square. I actually hear people talking about the “death tax” and “tax cut vs tax extension” in coffee shops and YMCAs.
I think it’s great.
However, in almost every single conversation, there is one aspect of the debate that I think gets left out; and it drives me crazy.
