  • Cain and Blacks vs Hollywood Liberals

    09/02/2011 4:17:24 PM PDT · by bthockey · 7 replies
    You know that person, who thinks they know everything, thinks they stand for the underprivileged, the forgotten, and the poor? The person who thinks that everyone but themselves are small minded and bigoted when really they are small minded and bigoted. Anyway the punch line is Janeane Garofalo. Janeane Garofalo has gone up to bat again to defend the everyday black man from what she calls the “racist” Tea Party by attacking, who else, Herman Cain (aka the black Republican/Tea Party candidate).

    For those of you who don't know, I'm a huge fan of Macro Rubio. I think he is, and will continue to be, a great senator from the state of Flordia, one who represents his citizens very well. Since he is a freshmen Senator, many conservatives and liberals still don't know too much about him but I think that will change within the next year or so. As you watch the two videos, think to yourself, and compare him to many of the GOP candidates and the leaders on both sides of the isle in congress. Is there a man...

    For the past couple of weeks, I've been looking into the Fair Tax, a tax law that is picking up a lot of momentum since many GOP candidates, including Herman Cain, support it. For those who don't know what the Fair Tax is, it is essentially a national sales tax of 23%. Even though that might not sound too pleasing, what makes the fair tax so great is that it abolishes all other federal taxes. Income, capital gains, and payroll taxes would all cease to exist. To bring support to the Fair Tax, which I believe is much better than...

    As I was looking through the fabulous articles on HotAir, I came across a video that was very troubling to me. The video was of little school children tell me how we need to fix America through their "Contract for the American Dream." It obviously can't be that harmless! I mean anythings these little kids have to say to me can't screw up America too much can it? Of course it can! Once we look past the veil of the little children we can look at why these policies would ruin America as opposed to fix it. If you go...
  • U.S. Students Have Horrible History Test Scores (And What Should Be Done About It!)

    For those of your who haven't found out yet, American students don't know basic history of their own country. I can't say I find this surprising because no one in my school is really that excited about history, let alone American history. I think this is a major problem with our schools and one that we must fix! The National Assessment of Educational Progress tests students every couple years to see if our education system is headed in the right direction. If we dive into the stats, it's clear to see that students have horrendous history test scores. Only 12...
  • Why is Matt Damon So Dumb?

    As an actor, I absolutely love Matt Damon. The Bourne Ultimatum is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I can watch it again and again without getting tired of it. He is one of my favorite actors. However, his political ideas are some of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard. Matt Damon has a crazy idea that he, and his fellow millionaires and billionaires, need to be taxed more so that his money can be used to help the world. He doesn't believe that he should have that money but that his money should be spread around...
