Because your mother chose to bed a knave, she alone is raising you. She may have some support from her parents, but most likely the help they can offer is minimal. Your mother returns to Big Nanny Government for help. Food stamps, unemployment checks, and free medical care for you, all from the pockets of those who were more careful in their decisions than her. But that's all right; she is a Glorious Single Mother, praised and encouraged by the media, lauded as an unsung hero, even though they're singing pretty loudly. Never mind that more than 70% of all the criminals currently residing in prisons across our country are the result of single motherhood. Never mind that more and more children of single mothers are less and less successful in life, and tend to repeat their mother's foolish decisions.

Washington (CNN) – A majority of Americans think the federal government poses a threat to rights of Americans, according to a new national poll.

Fifty-six percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday say they think the federal government's become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens. Forty-four percent of those polled disagree.

The survey indicates a partisan divide on the question: only 37 percent of Democrats, 63 percent of Independents and nearly 7 in 10 Republicans say the federal government poses a threat to the rights of Americans.

56%. A higher margin than Obama won to become leader of the free world. Obama only won by 7%, and yet the left likes to call it a landslide, a mandate from the masses. Okay, fine. By all means then, let's call that a landslide. So what shall we make of a 12% difference in this poll? Is this not a landslide? Is this not a mandate?

Well over half the country believes that our government poses an IMMEDIATE DANGER to us. This poll means that over half the country DOES NOT TRUST that the current administration has our best interests in mind. I can not believe that any of those 56% believe that a government that is a danger to them trusts that same government with health care, or Cap and Trade, Stimulus, Porkulus, Jobulus, ANY of it.

There is going to be a major change, come November. As I have said before, and this poll certainly leads me to believe I'm on the money, 2010 is going to be a really bad year to be a Democrat or Republican incumbent. Those folks need to start polishing their resumés. They've lost touch with the American people; perhaps they'll get to know a few of them better when they're in the Unemployment line.

Two reasons for this, as best as I can figure. One, it's depressing as hell. Two, the sheer scope of it makes War and Peace look like a fortune cookie. As any blogger can tell you, articles that run overlong tend to be overlooked. So I will try to break this down into sections, covering the life of a person whom I will refer to as “You.” I'm not implying that you, dear reader, are the subject of this article, I'm just doing it to drive home a point; this is what liberalism offers you. Second Person narrative tends to bring the reader further into the story, personalizing it even though the reader may have nothing whatsoever in common with the “You” in the story.

Just a little intermission from the Lose Brothers, starring Harry Reid!

"The Lose Brothers" Part 4!

Part 2 of "The Lose Brothers!"

Part 1 of a brand spankin' new Lil' O mini-series!

Like it was even a question.

For those not in the know about "Ellie Light", Ace O' Spades has the straight shizzle.

Whatever the hell that is.

A bitterly divided Supreme Court vastly increased the power of big business and unions to influence government decisions Thursday by freeing them to spend their millions directly to sway elections for president and Congress. The ruling reversed a century-long trend to limit the political muscle of corporations, organized labor and their massive war chests. It also recast the political landscape just as crucial midterm election campaigns are getting under way. In its sweeping 5-4 ruling, the court set the stage for a wave of likely repercussions -- from new pressures on lawmakers to heed special interest demands to increasingly boisterous campaigns featuring highly charged ads that drown out candidate voices.

Perhaps it's my own naivete, but why in the hell are BUSINESSES contributing to campaigns? Do businesses vote? Do they have voter registrations? Does some guy go to the booth and say “Hi, my name is Wal-Mart. I'll be voting today.”?

PEOPLE vote. PEOPLE have driver's licenses. PEOPLE register.

If a guy owns a business or several businesses, he is still ONE VOTE. The people who work for him are their own individual votes.

End the limitation on PEOPLE contributing to campaigns, and remove BUSINESSES from it altogether. If I want to contribute a million dollars to a candidate, then I should be able to do so. Restricting me to $2500 while allowing Soros to divert millions from his various businesses, unions extorting millions from their members then handing it to whomever THEY choose, regardless of the wishes of the members themselves, makes no sense. If Soros wants to contribute a million dollars, let it come from his own pocket.

No tax deductions, no loopholes, no BS. Make it a straight transaction, just like buying groceries.

Here's my CFR: Give as much as you want, if you are a human being and a legal citizen of this country, and not currently serving a prison term. Period.

If anyone out there can make a legitimate argument in favor of businesses contributing to campaigns, I'd love to hear it.
