THE REASON I BLOG.

    The reason I blog is simple. I  like to express my opinion on various subjects. Upon deciding to say something of mutual interest to my readers as well as myself, I do a certain amount of research to be reasonably sure that what I'm expressing is correct to the best of my knowledge.
    I say this because in my following of events, particularly political, there are a lot of  misleading or mistruth statements made. In fact so many that I have lost faith in the honor system. "Trust me" is so often misused that it doesn't really mean much anymore. The reason I use "Just let me say this" as a lead for my blogs is to allow me to put the emphasis on how much it is used by politicians to evade answering a question that requires a simple "Yes" or "No".
   One of my blogs is about that very thing. It seems to be a system that a career politician develops over a period of time, along with a manner of talking that gives a "professional tone" to his or her voice. The good old every day street talk that you and I understand is slowly but surely set aside in the
course of their career. It's a "cover your assets" way of saying something you really don't mean but will satisfy the situation for now. I refer to it as "Old Fart" talk. It's almost as though they've forgotten the true purpose we voted them in for. Realizing this has prompted me to consider myself a consevative Independent.
    It's done on both sides of the fence but extremely more so with the Socialists. In fact it is rampant
there. So much so that they seem to think it's okay to do it quite openly without fear of it costing them votes.
    I find it excitingly refreshing to listen to the newcomer representatives talk because they still communicate in a way we understand out on the street, in the office or in the local group discussions
    that take place wherever that may be. That's when we're understanding each other best.
    In a course in letter writing, I was taught to always keep the document as simple as possible and in a way that anyone reading it would understand. That's the way I write today.
    The folks on the street including the Tea party people and myself want to know what the heck is going on!! We are'nt all Doctors, Lawyers,Teachers or Community Organizers. We are the common people with every bit of common sense and brain activity as they have. Our votes are as good as theirs
and we expressed it in the last election. They're talking in a fashion designed to confuse us.
    Let's not let them convince us otherwise or discourage us from believing in the traditions that made this country great. That includes telling the truth, honoring our God given principles and electing someone to represent us that speaks our language.
    Barack Hussein Obama is speaking in the Common man's language. He's catching the ear of the students and the already misled left. He's a great public speaker. He reads the teleprompters very well.
    But the so-called facts and figures he gives are not the truth. They 're written by speech writers who have a Socialist agenda and would like you to believe there's a better wy                                              
    It's not on the golf course, it's not on the basketball court, it's not in his very expensive trips overseas and it's sure as hell not by expressing to the rest of the world that we are'nt right in being the free-est and most powerful country in the world bar none. Just sayin'.
