Have Thought Will Travel. Ruminate on ideas, philosophy, culture, society, books, music, politics, religion, movies...and see where it takes us.
May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Our 'Forward Looking' President Looks Back to Criminalize the Previous Administration
Hope and Change. Looks like one of the changes, from someone that campaigned on looking forward, is to look back and investigate the previous administration for civil and criminal charges. Never been done before, for obvious reasons. Hey Bambster, way to unite the country; try and jail the opposition.
I've got to ask. Does anyone think for a minute that any Dems on the intelligence committees, Dem officers in the FBI and CIA, that participated or approved of actions, will be investigated and brought to trial too?
When the next Republican president is voted into power, just think of all the fun we can have returning the favor. How fun is it going to be rounding up and investigating all the embezzlement, payoffs, leaked security info to enemy states...all that stuff? How many ACORN people will we be able to lock up? How many SEIU thugs. Apollo Alliance operatives (I'll be writing about these guys in a later post.) Barney Frank. Chris Dodd. These last two guys were investigated, by Dem committees of course, and guess what? They're pure as ... of course. Payoffs to Zero Population Growth. Natural Resources Defense Council. Institute For America's Future. Laborers' International Union of North America. The reason all these leftist groups and contributers, and lots more, is because after the (un)stimulus package, all the sudden they're in the money. hmmmmmm I'd go after Raines too. He made something like $90 mill in six years at Fannie May, which is the primary source of all the economic mess we're in now.
Of course the primary the reason the Bamster and his backup group, The Dems, need to change the tune is that 'cap 'n tax' and ObamaCare hit a bunch of sour notes, the crowd is booing, and will start leaving the building. They need to distract so they can rearrange ObamaCare and try and sneak it though in the second act.
So if the Bamster wants to go down the road of criminalizing the policies (and in this case, GW had congressional approval and oversight, so they'll go down too), I'm ready for turnabout being fair play.

Ch Ch Ch Changes Mr Bowie
Here's some changes I'd like to see, since it seems to be the buzzword this campaign, and nothing is going to change regardless who gets elected.
Lobbyists: If you have served as an elected official at any level of government, you cannot be a lobbyist. According to a report by Public Citizen, 43% of 198 members of Congress that retired between 1998 and 2005 are lobbyists. Foreign countries cannot have lobbyists. We have a State Department. These countries have been on State Department Travel Warning list or labeled human rights violators. Saudi Arabia, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Dubai, Venezuela, Sudan, China, United Arab Emirates, Palestine. Some of these have declared war on the US, are terrorists states, yet have US citizens lobbying for them.
Federally elected politicians making their home in Washington DC.: We live in the 21st century. We have computers and video conferencing. All representatives of districts and states must live in that district and state. There's no reason for not living where the people you represent are. These representatives should only go to DC if required by a national emergency; and thirty days to pass a balanced budget. If the budget isn't passed, and balanced, they don't get paid until it does. Their check goes to Treasury, and they can't write it off as a deduction.
Fair Tax: There will be no corporate, personal or payroll taxes, no estate taxes, or capital gains taxes. There will be a national retail sales tax. The government can't take your money before you get it. People with less money spend less, so pay less taxes, like now. People with more buy more, so pay more taxes. Like now. Don't you think you could spend your money better than a self interested politician or government bureaucrat? Care about the poor? You can give more to them directly with no middleman. Love your church? You will have more to offer beyond your tithe for more good works.
Government Unions: Government unions will be disbanded. If you work for the government you are a servant of the people. You cannot use the coercion of the union to extort money from the people. If the money isn't good enough, go to the private sector.
Campaigns: Politicians running for state offices cannot accept money from out of state. If you want to run for office, raise the money in your own state. Unions cannot endorse candidates. Their only purpose is to represent employees to employers. No monetary restrictions on campaigns, but every penny from every person must be reported and posted.
Law: If you sue and loose you pay all court costs. If the Congress passes a law, it stands on its own. No amendments until after it is passed.
Time: No more daylight savings time. No more time zones. Everything will be GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Trade, commerce and communication are 24/7 and planet wide. Manage time by standardizing it.
That's the basics. Ch ch ch changes .....
