A Thought For Today

I like to think Texans have a lot of what the rest of the United States, and maybe the world for that matter, seems to have lost. Whether it is a quality that you acquire or one that you genetically inherit, I can't say for certain, though I suspect the latter. If it is the latter, we need a larger gene pool!

The quality of which I speak is "common sense". It is a quality that knows no race, gender or geographic boundary. It should also have no political limitations, but that seems to have changed since I was a young man.

It used to be that you could find an even sprinkling of men and women with common sense in both political parties. It used to be that when laws being written in Congress were idiotic, men of common sense in BOTH parties would rise to defeat the bill with a vote against it. At the very least they would have read the bill so they could vote on it honestly. They would do that for the good of the NATION as a whole...NOT the good of their party or a few "special interests" groups with their own agenda.

It's time for all men and women of good "common sense" to stand up and speak their minds against a government that is gradually enslaving them, their children and their children's children to a future of debt and poverty from which they may never recover. Our government, controlled at present by the most Liberal Democrats ever to hold office is slowly strangling the life out of our economy and our future independence. Stand up and fight before freedom is nothing more than dust in the winds of history.
