From time to time I get a real laugh when I read our so called “experts” tell each of you what to think about a certain subject, politician, or anyone else that prods the old gray matter and makes you think for yourself. It really doesn’t matter what the specific subject is because they are going to tell you what to think, what to do, etc, etc. Now, if you haven’t studied your history you probably will be easily taken in by all that fertilizer and you might actually start believing that stuff. Just remember, only in recent history in this country did the government start telling us rather than listen to us.

You learned your most important lessons the best way, which was the hard way. You stuck your little paw on the hot stove and quickly discovered the relationship between heat, pain, and your mama yelling “don’t do that you little idiot”. After that you paid a bit more attention and even today you’re usually smart enough to grab a stove mitt beforehand. Yes, Pavlov’s dogs was what we read about much later and darn if it didn’t make perfect sense. Here’s the impressive thing, it still works today, all you have to do is fire up that little mass of gray matter and put it to work. You’ll be surprised at the truth you’ll really discover.

Somebody tells you what to think about the President? Tell them to pound salt and do your own research. They tell you where to go, what to buy, how to act? Find out of they do the same thing or does their answer start out “well, that’s different”. Free advice is rarely the best advice, especially when it’s just another opinion rather than a research based answer.

Our nation, our culture, was based upon doubts about the King and a handful of people that had enough. As recent history has taught us, they too had a hidden agenda, but fortunately, that agenda turned out to be better for all of us. They certainly weren’t saints (great men are rarely good men) and had their share of shortcomings, but in the long run their actions worked for our benefit. Take a hard look at any of those issues and dissect them. Who gains and who looses?

If you’re not using that lump on top your shoulders (my Dads favorite saying I once despised and now delight in) then why not just take it off and throw it away? Oh, you can’t? There’s probably a good reason for that so it’s about time you started to use it!

I think most Americans have been kicked senseless.

I was going to say this on the other one, but it suits here as well. Plus, the odds are better it will get posted here.

If you're saying what you're saying for political partyline reasons, 90% of America will see it. Most aren't as dumb as they're given credit for. And they will take that into account in your every word and action.
