Clash of the Political Titans

So, the "fiscal cliff" was pushed further into the future! What does that say for our illustrious "Prevaricator In Chief" and his unwillingness to barter with our Congress? While he continues his tirade against all Republicans and conservatives in general, the "masses" sit idly by to suffer the "slings and arrows " of his ineptitude and arrogance. However, I feel a day of reckoning is nigh. All Republicans and Democrat moderates in the  House of Representatives will finally "grow a pair" and find the will to answer the call of duty and NOT raise the "debt ceiling". This remains a battle of wills between the "High Lama" and Congress to determine who blinks first. With "His Arrogance", this merely is an extension of maniacal narcissism as he argues before the world stage his distorted desires for destruction of this beloved ountry and the Republican Party, while cloaked in his version of "innocent conduct".
As Obama spews forth his "non truths" from the comfort of his teleprompter, free thinking Americans scoff at his self-importance, because they are cognizant of the struggles, both now and in the future, for this great country. However, that does not mean we, as free thinking Americans, should not bring the allegorical fight to every corner of America in the name of freedom and conservatism. It is time to stand and be counted in this time of trouble. Raise your pens, keyboards and telephones to shout your concerns to anll who will listen in Congress! Join the fray to save our country from complete destruction! As always, your thoughts are welcome and appreciated....

Surviving Obama's Regime by a "Simple Citizen"

With the advent of yet another four years of interminable economic suffering by each member of this society, we must ask ourselves the "burning question" of the moment. How are we to survive four more years of Obama's magnanimity? It seems he has seen fit to "provide" creature comforts as in: cell phones; extended unemployment benefits to the tune of several years; blossoming ranks of those feeding at the EBT trough; and fewer jobs from which to garner sufficient equity to purchase your own cell phone or gasoline for the indentured vehicle you are paying some scheming bank. Perhaps, one of the many ways in which we, as a nation and civilized society, can find solace is in a tried and true method of payment is the gentle art of "barter". During the "War for Independence", circa 1776, the citizenry resorted to bartering for those goods and services needed for survival in those lean economic years. We, as a nation, should consider resurrecting that ancient tradition. With modern technology, we have a distinct advantage from our forefathers in that, communication and advertisement is immediate. As a result, locating a "buyer" and "seller" of goods and services has become almost an enjoyment. Of course, the IRS, or as I affectionately refer to them as "Ira, Rick and Sam", will have their collective fit over this reprise, because it, in essence, deprives our "beloved government" of its perceived due. And Heaven forbid that we simple citizenry deprive the government any revenue in which it can be spent on those sorely needed goods and services, such as: a bridge to nowhere, a program to determine the efficacy of condom usage in some African country; and a study of the migration patterns of the American Bison. Although, these are indeed worthy of investigation, I do not believe we, as a suffering people, would authorize Congress to devote our taxes to such causes. As an alternative, private organizations might undertake these endeavors, certainly more efficiently and with more zeal than any government agency. After all, the ineptitude of our government and its "millions" of overlapping agencies is widely known. 

So, as we collectively and glumly attempt to survive until November, 2016, let us hearken back to those days of even worse economics and strongly consider reviving the "Barter System" as one means of survival by the "Simple Citizen". Your comments are welcome and appreciated....
