K.I.S.S.

 This my attempt to explain the Party leaders, their decisions, and the ramifications.


We are not discussing democrats vs. Republicans. We are discussing Conservatives and those that call themselves Republicans in the GOP.


Imagine a sliding scale that We are all a part of:

[socialist->democrats]->moderates<-[Republicans<-Conservatives]


[socialist->democrats] are the Democrat party; about a third of the people.


->moderates<- are about a third of the people.


[Republicans<-Conservatives] are the GOP; about a third of the people.


Just as socialists will never Conservatives, Conservatives will never be socialists.

Those brackets cannot get any wider. When the GOP moves the "[" to the left in order to get more votes, the "]" moves left with it, leaving some Conservatives out of the party. The same goes for the Democrat party when moving "]" to the right, the "[" moves right with it leaving some socialists out of their party.


Moderates need to be inspired, not pandered to.

History has proven, with President Reagan and '94, that when the GOP moves the "[" to the right it inspires more people, therefore getting more votes.

The Evolution of Jimmy Carter

(This page was inspired by my experience with Our court "system." Something with which I am VERY familiar as a defendant)

     Back when I was just lil' jimmy carter I was "the snitch." I wanted to Right all wrongs. When I witnessed any wrongdoings I reported immediately and directly to the Highest Authority of all the land: Mom (I never understood why my older brothers did not want me around). I was seven years of age when I proclaimed that I was going to be a prosecuting attorney and put all the lawbreakers behind bars and throw away the key.

     Then I grew up to be Jimmy carter. During high school my interest turned to law enforcement as a police officer. I dreamed of carrying a badge and a gun, busting the lowlifes. I enrolled in the local college studying criminal justice.

     I graduated from high school, had a full time job and a driver's license and experienced Freedom in all Her glory. I am Jimmy Carter. But my idea of Freedom and the government's idea of Freedom are apperently two different things. I think so long as I am doing no harm to another, what's the problem?

     Well, after numerous traffic violations I realized most laws are nothing more than generating revenue for the government. Everytime I am stopped for traffic violations, the more respect I lose for police officers and the entire judicial system. I could no longer imagine myself as a police officer. I simply would not punish someone for doing nothing harmful to another or their property. I have paid for "rolling" through a stop sign, while at the same time there are "speed traps" on the interstate where the officers do not stop a Citizen unless they are travelling at least 15 mph over the posted maximum limit. I think if the law states "55 mph" an officer is sworn to enforce that law, even if someone is travelling 56 mph. But, alas, Our government has grown so big and intrusive that those who are employed by it pick and choose which laws to enforce and Private Citizens pick and choose which laws to obey. It has become a game. The law has lost its word.

     My last experience went like this: I was driving through a posh neighborhood. I was stopped by an officer of the law. He told me the number of laws I was violating and then asked me,"Would you like the citations or would like for me to arrest you?" My first thought was,"What makes you the judge and jury? Why on earth should My Freedom be based on the kind of day an officer is having? Why on earth should My Freedom be based on My ability  to "bs" My way out of being arrested?"

     I calmly replied,"If you are competent in your job, then I expect you to do your best. If I'm firm in my beliefs, then I'll take it." I received six citations.

     I completely understand the difference between deterence and prevention. For example: the last conversation I had with a certain sister-in-law occurred last year. We were standing in the kitchen when the conversation turned to someone who was arrested for driving while intoxicated. She stated that the guy should be put away for a long time. I asked her why. She replied that he could have killed someone. "Really?"

     I grabbed her car keys from the countertop (a Herculeon effort because of the amount of keys and keyrings Women tend to collect). I told her,"I love you so much, that I cannot in good conscience let you drive a car. You COULD get killed." I grabbed her shoulders and began to walk her out of the kitchen and said,"I love you so much, that you COULD get killed since there are knives in there." In the hallway,"I love you so much, that you COULD get killed in here with the glass in the picture frames." I opened a closet door and removed the clothes that were hanging and led her inside. "I love you so much, that I am going to keep you in here so that you don't get hurt." I closed the door.

     I have paid so much money to so many cities and the State of Texas that I should have at least one street named after me. But, unfortunately, I figured the address:

1234 Jimmy Carter's Way
Fort Worth, Texas

just ain't gonna fly.

Global Warring

      The United States of America has been under attack by terrorists for many decades.Terrorists have wreaked havoc by utilizing many different resourses at their disposal. But no terrorist organization has caused more death and damage than Our enemy: The Environment.

     Most Conservatives contribute the origins of The Environment back to the Carter Presidency. Although President Carter did his very best to appease the enemy by implementing policies that brought the American economy to a full stand still, in 1979 The Environment unleashed a category 5 storm named Hurricane David that killed 2,068 people and caused over $4,000,000,000.00 in damage.

     The 1980s were relatively peaceful after the overwhelming response by the American electorate. The anti-Environment candidate Ronald Wilson Reagan won the election with 489 electorial votes out of 538. The Citizens spoke and they were ready to respond to The Environment. President Reagan implemented policies that allowed a counter attack against The Environment the likes of which the world has never seen; through manufacturing, energy production, nulcear proliferation, and consumerism.

     After four years of President G.H.W. Bush and no serious war hawk running for the White House, The Environment struck the East Coast in August of 1992, before the election, with "a modern-day apocalypse." Hurricane Andrew killed 23 people and caused over $25,000,000,000.00 in damages. This led to the end of President Bush's reelection hopes and helped Governor Clinton in the polls and win the election.

     President Clinton's Presidency was preoccupied with scandals waged by renegade Republicans, that The Environment was busy bombarding Us with more terrorists attacks throughout his terms. The most destructive year being 1995, which saw a near record of nineteen attacks.

     With the election of President Bush in 2000, and his image of "a cowboy," The Environment became quiet once again.

     With the Mighty American Armed Forces spread thin due to the Middle East crisis, The Environment decided to strike in August of 2005 with the most devastating storm of all time: Hurricane Katrina.

     Hurricane Katrina has killed over 1,800 people, caused over $84,000,000,000.00 in damages, and has lasted nearly two years with no end in sight.

     This escalated President Bush's War on Global Room Temperature. Democrats claim that Katrina was caused by an insignificant group hiding in the Bahamas, so he has no right increasing the temperatures of China, France, Australia, Argentina, or most of Africa. Democrats also state that President Bush has no proof that there were "hurricane making materials" in the polar ice caps.

     If there is just one thing We can All agree on it would be this: We are in a quagmire against The Environment. It is time President Bush put a stop to all the manufacturing being waged Here at Home. We should also cease any and all use of energy so as not to aggravate the enemy. Lastly, We should negotiate peace with The Environment by talking to Gaia through Her representatives: trees. Otherwise, We'll be left with no other option but to "cut and run."
