Mission Statement: "Don't be an idiot & don't freak out"
I haven’t heard any of the men on stage (including self-described Constitutionalist, Ron Paul) speak so clearly on the documents that founded this country and make it so unique and exceptional. If you don’t really believe in what Santorum says in this clip, you’re not going to understand your role as President of the United States. I haven’t heard anyone sound like this the entire primary race. If you don’t think Santorum has “zeal” or is unelectable, think twice. This is how a president should sound when talking about their faith in God and the founding of America. Here’s hoping the Tea Party was listening.

I could not agree more with Cavuto on this.
The crowd cheering and jumping to their feet is ridiculous and concerning. The issue that John King raised at the beginning of the debate does matter and so does the character of our politicians, republican or democrat. Whether or not this specific issue is a “he said - she said,” Newt Gingrich’s past is well documented, and like it or not, past behaivor is the best predictor of future behavior.
I don’t care what Newt’s daughters told ABC, I care what the possible future leader of the free world says on an issue he is being accused of doing. America is in desperate need of a leader that we can look to, and think “wow, that’s a person of integrity.”—a true role model. Someone who, whether we agree with them or not, know they believe what they are doing is the right thing to do, because they walk their talk.
Enough with the ‘do as I say, not as I do’ hypocrites. There are 300 million Americans on this planet, and I don’t know a soul who has a past remotely as terrible as Newt Gingrich’s. I believe in forgiveness, I believe in redemption, and I’m not judging the man’s heart, but just because you had a turning point doesn’t make you a suitable candidate for President of the United States of America.
This is the United States of America people! We have 300 million people do choose from… And Newt Gingrich is getting 40% of the vote from the “party of family values,” in the Bible belt?!!? If we want to continue to be the best, we can’t have anything less than great leadership—raise your standards, it’s embarrassing.

The BS of A’s Sharia Law & Order
THE TAX SYSTEM EXPLAINED IN BEER
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this…
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7..
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
So, that’s what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. “Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.”. Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men? The paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?
They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.
So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.
And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving).
The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings.
“I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,”but he got $10!”
“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!”
“That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back, when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”
“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!” The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

One of the few things The Daily Show has done that I like enough to share. How hypocritical is the media? Hilarious and true.

…despite the many mind-blowingly ignorant points this Ron Paul zombie tried to make that drove me almost out of my mind, the one that really kills me also comes from environmentalists on the left—the idea that we are allowing women and children to be killed, because of our current dependency on foreign oil.
There isn’t a country on this planet that treats women and children better than the United States of America.
Unless you’re referring to the unborn. We SUCK on that - The fact that abortion is legal in America, the country that’s foundation is based on Judeo-Christian values is completely illogical and a morally bankrupt position.
There isn’t a leftist or a Paul fanatic out there who could argue that the countries that control oil in the Middle East treat women well. They live under SHARIA LAW… hello?! Unless that child is a boy, it’s not valued, and even then he most likely attends a school where he is being indoctrinate about the Jewish people, and being taught that our country is evil. Not because of our interest in oil, but because we are free.
So, basically what I’m trying to say is lock it up. That argument makes no sense if you know anything about Islamic Sharia Law.
