Oh yeah, it was me.

I'll be honest, I don't recognize The Detroit News' Editorial Page any longer.

Between their schizoid take on the proper role of government and taxes in society, or is this what they really think about taxes, I'm confused?

One name that I noticed right off the bat which was very conspicuously absent from Mr. Finley's screed is Rep. Ron Paul.

All that is going on right now are appearances and speeches, with last night being the very fist debate of the '12 Campaign Season.

That's it.

Mr. Finley is in a unique situation, given his current profession. He is supposed to be able to accurately and thoroughly inform his readers on the current issues. To do that he needs to be informed himself.

I asked him last year to name all of the candidates on the ballot for governor here in Michigan; he couldn't.

If he couldn't take the time to educate himself on just five people, exactly how well do you think he'll do with the eleven-or-so candidates currently on the radar?

I'd wrap this up by pointing out how things got to where they are at today.

Jason hit the nail on the head when he said this:

"Nolan? Repeat after me: "I have largely ignored the message by the Tea Party over the last two years, and find myself afraid to challenge the conventional wisdom as designed by my media masters."  Its true."

Trading away our principles to make nicey-nice with the democrats accomplished what?

• More entitlements?

• Expanding government regulation?

• Exploding debt?

• More taxes?

• Candidates and elected officials who are totally indistinguishable from democrats?

Bottom line is that for all the good that Rep. Paul brings to the table under the banner of the Republican Party he just can't help himself with his Liberaltarian roots of negating it.  It's a damned shame because Rep. Paul is spot on with monetary matters and in areas of proper Federal government involvement, but in social circles?  Oy vey!

Last night once again Rep. Paul demonstrated the difference with his position of Demilitarize and Coke, Heroine & Hookers for everybody Liberaltarian Party 1972 founding.  That's not a Conservative.  That's a hippie that's financially a tight ass as far as I'm concerned and when it comes to immigration the Liberaltarian deity rates right there with Neo-Com Resident Obysmal.

And as far as all this crap about being labeled a Redneck goes... Matters little to me because I'm already labeled a Ray-Ceeessst for not liking the Obamessiah's White half equally.

Either way, anyone thinking that the Neo-Com's in the DNC and MDP don't spend 10% of their energy supporting a candidate they like, and 90% denouncing all the other candidates as "sellouts," "unelectable," or just "crazy." is only fooling themself.

Hell, Resident Obogey has even managed to turn their dead terrorist story into something that now reads like Abbottabad and Costello.

...and the prohibition flapdoddle begins in 4.. 3.. 2..

Now, let's say Jason Gillman decides to run and he catches on with that same unwashed mass.  The media is going to do to him what they did to Palin.  How can an every day mom or pop get involved with politics at any level when you have a hate mongering liberal press tearing you apart at the limbs at every turn?

Palin is not afraid to back down from them and for this she is even more villified.  The liberals fear her and will try to take her down at every turn.  And the so called Republicans are quietly egging this BS on to keep them out of the running.  Common sense is not welcomed in DC.
