if only they possessed common sense.

Common sense should tell the DNC that the  people showing up to these town hall meetings & elsewhere will only grow in numbers if they threaten to silence them.  It is mind boggling to me that not one person in this current administration possesses enough common sense to see this—it  leaves me shaking my head in absolute disbelief.  I honestly wake up thinking that the news I have seen & read from the day before was nothing more than a BAD SNL skit or worse & that this isn’t really happening in this country.  But the problem is IT IS REALLY happening BUT  I’m not laughing.

The biggest problem I see is that BO WILL NOT engage in any conversation that offers contrast to his point of view.  He doesn’t want to converse with the folks, he just wants to give speeches.  And he doesn’t listen.  If anyone begs to differ with him, he name calls and points his finger at them.

I can only speak for myself so I will.

I don’t need YOU to take care of me.  I’m all grown up now.  I don’t need my president telling me what is good for me or what sort of insurance I need or what type of car I can drive or that I need to replace all of my light bulbs with those pathetic poison filled curly Q’s…ENOUGH.

Here’s an idea Mr. president, you have 2 children of your own.  They are under the age of 18.   Raise THEM.  Tell them what to do.  The only thing(s) you need to do for me are:

• straighten out this economy (you promised you could & would do this you promised yet you have not stopped whining about the debt you  inherited from the previous administration— You didn’t inherit THIS DEBT from Bush, it’s YOURS!)

• Keep our country safe from harm by ensuring a strong military force.

Those are my priorities.  There are only 2 of them.

I’m keeping it simple…baby steps…you’re new at this.

The rest of that stuff is MY BUSINESS.

I can handle it.

I am self reliant.

I was born & raised in the greatest country on Earth.

I am resilient.

I am an American!

And let’s get one (more) thing straight, I am NOT a member of a “mob”.  Please STOP changing the names you are calling me, I’ve grown quite fond of “right wing nut job”.  So leave it at that.

I am a “right wing nut job” who is waving my flag with my right hand as I type this out with my left.    So come & get me!

ps & by the way: Those curly Q light bulbs you are so fond of, well those things are considered HAZARDOUS WASTE…frightening huh?  I was talking to a lady just the other day in a hardware store who had no idea of  how to properly handle CFL’s, if they should  break.  As long as you are out there preaching about saving the world by having all Americans change to CFL’s, you may want to warn them of the hazards they create when broken in the home…I mean you wouldn’t want Fido to come along & inhale a giant whiff of CFL dust.

• Each bulb contains about 5 milligrams (mg) of mercury, a toxic heavy metal that can interfere with the development of children and unborn fetuses and may cause a wide range of health issues in adults, including brain, kidney and liver damage.

• Because of the mercury they contain, compact fluorescent bulbs should be recycled lest they end up in landfills where they can contaminate air, soil and groundwater, potentially placing public health at risk.

I think I will wear THIS SHIRT today ;)
