The Tea Party - Republican - Conservative Divorce Agreement with America ...REALLY ..defies common sense
Conservatives ...Republicans ... the nearly 50% who feel like they simply cannot move on with Obama as their leader have been defying simple common sense since the 2012 election. These are the Tea Party members who SO claim to love our constitution but cannot stomach the thought of one tenant of it, that we elect a president in a democratic fashion. To them, it has been as though "since we didn't win, we don't want to abide by that constitution anymore Talks of secession and refusal to compromise in any fashion for the betterment of our citizens are rampant. And here is another example...a forwarded email going around. The hatred is remarkable. Its difficult not to cry sore losers in this instance. Again, this kind of belief defies common sense. I share with you the email.
DIVORCE AGREEMENT
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950's for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
--Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
--We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.
--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.
--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel.
--You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.
--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street.
--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens.
--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.
--We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.
--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. But we will no longer be paying the bill.
--We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.
--You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors.
--We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.
--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya" or "We Are the World".
--We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.
--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American
P.S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin & Charlie Sheen, Barbara Streisand, & ( Hanoi ) Jane Fonda with you.
P.S.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country.
Forward This Every Time You Get It ! Let's Keep This Going, Maybe Some Of It Will Start Sinking In!!

Cold Stone Creamery Employee Fired for RACIST remarks
Here is the story of the Cold Stone Creamery lady who thought it would be just peachy to bitch about Obama getting elected. She used the N word and then said what something that will get you a visit from the authorities. THEN she claimed she isn't racist. Excuse me but after you use the N word in 2012 you never ever ever again get to say you aren't racist. Click the link for the storyon Denise Helms. Good luck Denise ever getting a job again.

Papa Johns and Applebees are laying off WHY ?
Papa Johns owner is going to layoff people because he claims Obama's re-election will cause him to let go of employees. Guess what ...Mr Papa John Shmetta ...whatever your name is ...YOU are FIRED ...no more Papa Johns for me...so now when myself and those who believe like me that we won't tolerate your lack of common sense, it will be YOUR sorry ass that got them laid off, not Obama. 
Applebees

Don't be expecting that Applebees to be coming to your neighborhood. The company CEO is blaming Obamacare for why his company won't expand. Don't buy their stock, boycott the restauraunt, and tell your friends to go somewhere else.

The 47% quote from Mitt Romney
Sep. 17, 2012: A surreptitiously recorded video
of Romney – from a fundraiser in May –
shows Romney telling wealthy donors
that “47%” of the country that doesn’t pay
income taxes, that is dependent on
government and that believes “they are
victims” will vote for Obama no matter
what.” He adds in the video, "My job is not
to worry about those people. I'll never
convince them they should take personal
responsibility and care for their lives.”
Romney later holds a press conference,
where he said his comments were “not
elegantly stated” but also stood behind
his remarks. He later calls his remarks
“completely wrong

The Constitution begins with WE not ME
I am an independent voter in Virginia, where, besides Ohio, the candidates seem to think that the Old Dominion is the place where this election may be decided. It went for Obama 4 years ago and right now is leaning a bit Romney. I'd like to give you the perspective of an independent voter in Virginia.
The first thing to tell you is that I am voting for Obama. But, I can't tell anyone here. I am 49 years old, living in a rural western county that will likely go about 70% Romney. The people here are simply not reasonable when it comes to Obama. Most people here ...VOCAL people ...HATE the president so much that if Obama said he's for puppies, kittens, cute babies, and S'Mores, those things would quickly ...at least until November 6th, fall out of favor here. I mean the hate for him is deep and strong and is devoid of any fact other than ...well...he's OBAMA (said with a thick and gruff country accent)
I understand that Northern Virginia and Hurricane Superstorm Sandy devastated Eastern Virginia are big for Obama. He'll need it. In my opinion, the future of our country needs it.
And Obama and his policies need my vote as well. Florida between Gore and Bush came down to 500 somewhat disputed votes. If Virginia comes down to one, here is why Obama gets mine.
Those die hard I hate Obama worse than anything ever and the country will be ruined if he gets four more years Republicans ignore simple fact. He inherited an economy in ruins. He turned around the shrinking GDP which was spiraling at the rate of nearly 9% . Unemployment continues to fall steadily and 4.5 million jobs have been created, as the often used in Obama advertising bar graphs clearly show. Bush economics and big bank greed crashed the stock market ..it hit bottom and has since recovered and even doubled thanks to Obama. The housing market has stablized, and as Time magazine said,
"Mitt Romney can promise 12 million more jobs in the coming four years because Obama’s policies have already put us on track to produce them, courtesy of a revival of manufacturing, a rise in exports and a new wave of research and innovation"
The audacity of Romney campaigning sometimes standing in front of the economic successes of the Obama administration while blasting the stimulus plan that we all should hope any president, regardless of party, would have followed through with. (It's roots were in the end of the Bush years) And lets not ignore the unmitigated gall of Paul Ryan and his criticism of the stimulus while seeking funds from it for his own district.
So, a little momentum from the first debate charisma of the "salesman" Romney has blinded many from looking at the facts. The facts, if they were being considered by reasonable human beings, would point to the re-election of the man who stands a great chance of the hope and promise fulfilled.
The only reasonable arguments against him would be
1-"I'm in the one percent and I too don't care about 47% of the population because all I care about is ME and MY MONEY and I GET A TAX DEDUCTION FROM MY MILLIONS (plus some great tips on how to harbor your haul in the Caymans from the would be President himself),"
or, what I fear is most common in rural Virginia which is going to go HUGE for Romney on Tuesday,
2-"I just hate Obama."
Trust me ...on election night ..after all the GOOD he has done, and considering the conservatives all out opposition to his every breath in the past 4 years, and especially considering the absolute tool the Republican party nominated (not even the GOP wanted him and tried numerous alternative before settling for Romney), Barack Hussein Obama, if he loses, must look in the mirror and say "Golly...they really hated me."
Because those are the only explanations in the face of fact.
Said Time : "The new right has broken with conservatism’s past—and our country’s most constructive traditions—by adopting a new and radical individualism that largely ignores our country’s gift for community.
Gone in a Romney administration would be the push for women's equality, gay equality, and simple respect for the middle class of our country being treated as constitutional equals to the rich who get richer in every Republican administration and will do so doubly under Romney.
While those things will be gone, one thing will become restored. The right of the insurance companies in all their greed to deny those with pre-existing conditions the insurance they need to avoid catastrophic financial ruin because of being denied coverage. Romney will champion those insurance companies inhumane greed. On "day 1" he has vowed.
I should tell you at this point that 100% of my family have pre-existing conditions. And if there is anyone who themselves or who have a family member surviving breast cancer or a heart condition or injuries from an automobile accident as in my family, or perhaps suffer from diabetes, depression, or a chronic pain problem....if you even KNOW anyone with any of these pre-existing conditions, you are blatantly slapping yourself that afflicted person in the face with total disrespect if you vote for Romney, because you are voting for the man who vows to give insurance companies the right to disallow basic insurance to those individuals on his first day in office.
Slapping them in the face !
Slapping ME and my family in our faces !
Damn right this is a big choice.
As Time stated: "Obama is battling to defend the long consensus that has guided American government successfully since the Progressive Era. It is based on the view that ours is a country whose Constitution begins with the word we, not me, and that the private success we honor depends on a government that serves a common good and remembers the most vulnerable among us. The task of our moment is to revive that long consensus and renew it. Of the two major candidates, only Barack Obama accepts this mission as his own."
And so, while disgusted with the lack of progress in election reform and the pure nastiness of this election on both sides, this independent voter can only see one clear path for our next 4 years to set the table for generations to come. It's a single vote in the critical swing state of Virginia ...for four more years of Hope for President Obama.

Seriously Mitt?
You are just dead wrong.
There are independents out there who could easily be persuaded to vote Republican instead of Democrat where most of them landed as Obama voters 4 years ago. There was a chance.
But 47% aren't in your wheelhouse. You hate welfare so much ..and forget to tell your living room coffee club that you are caught by IPhone soliciting from ...forgot to tell them that 2/3 of those people gladly pay Soc Security and Medicare Tax. And of those who are left, we have people making 20K or less a year, the military, and the elderly. But you snub them ? Are you THAT out of touch with your half truth informed hatred of entitlements ? Did you forget that your DAD took welfare ?
I said this once about the Dems ...that they could have beaten Bush but they ran a tool in John Kerry, and lost the chance. The Republicans would have much to stand on ...Obama, the argument could be made, did not really earn a 2nd term, but Romney is a tool ..plain and simple. Out of touch, out of synch, under pressure from the far right. Romney is a unbelievable gaff machine and a study of irony. Criticizing the 16 trillion US debt and attributing it all to Obama while ignoring the fact that Republican Presidents have run up half of that debt. Pledging that the solution to that big ol hairy debt is to ADD to it at first ....with trillions going mostly so we can trickle it down from the rich,

Paul Ryan Satanic Music Playlist
Paul Ryan at the Republican convention saying his playlist "starts at AC DC and ends in Led Zepplin." Those are the two most satanic rock groups I can think of ...Zep dedicating Stairway to heaven to "sweet satan," and ACDC who love to get the "back street rhythm," "shoot to thrill," or sing the praises of "Hells Bells."
Something does not add up.
Something does not add up.
Obama Did NOT say "You didn't build that"
Sick of the distortions and pants on fire half truths ? Obama just did NOT say what the republicans in Tampa are saying he said.
Here is the full context, from Obama's speech in Roanoke, Va.:
"There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me -- because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t -- look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
"The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.
"So we say to ourselves, ever since the founding of this country, you know what, there are some things we do better together. That’s how we funded the G.I. Bill. That’s how we created the middle class. That’s how we built the Golden Gate Bridge or the Hoover Dam. That’s how we invented the Internet. That’s how we sent a man to the moon. We rise or fall together as one nation and as one people, and that’s the reason I’m running for President -- because I still believe in that idea. You’re not on your own, we’re in this together.

FACTCHECK.COM SAYS ROMNEY CANNOT DO IT
The non partisan site Factcheck says today that the tax objectives that SOUND wonderful if they were only possible ..in fact are not.
Said the website:
Tax experts — including one who supports Romney’s plan — say the Republican presidential candidate’s promise to cut individual income tax rates without either favoring the wealthy or losing revenue isn’t mathematically possible.
That’s the conclusion of the Tax Policy Center in a report the Romney campaign attacked as “biased” (although the campaign previously praised the TPC as “objective,” when it issued a report critical of a rival’s tax plan).
And it’s also the conclusion of an expert from the pro-business Tax Foundation, who states that the Tax Policy Center analysis “correctly identified the Romney plan as a tax cut, at least in static terms, that accrues mainly to high-income earners.”
Don't believe everything you hear folks...unless it comes from factcheck.com

Paul Ryan calls Obama a Divider not a Uniter
Wasn't that left over from the Bush administration ? Having said that, Ryan and his fellow republicans on the hill got together in a room 3 1/2 years ago and decided they would support NOTHING Obama was for. If Obama was for the word Monday to start with the letter M they would still oppose it, no matter what. That was the blood pact. Then, can you imagine them saying "just wait til we tell everyone that it's all HIS fault the country is divided."
While on the subject of Ryan, the Daily Show pointed out that while Ryan is known for being the one who hates the deficit more than anyone, it is worth mentioning that things like Bush Tax cuts, other tax cuts, two wars, TARP, and other things that ran up the debt were ALL THINGS PAUL RYAN VOTED FOR !!!!
HYPOCRITE

Is an entitlement always socialism
The most conservative of Americans talk
about government handouts, entitlements, if you will, and call these things "socialism," yet few
conservatives ever lump in things like the "untouchable" subsidies to
big business. Subsidies that supposedly aren't "socialism" yet are
government handouts.

10 Political & Economic Imponderables
What a friend of mine on the far right (and truly, NOT a common sense guy) posted on his facebook. He hates Obama. Some points are valid ...perhaps number 2 is a tad bit racist ...but even though I think there are arguments to be made against each of these statements, I will give him his due on them on face value. This blog is, after all, about common sense.
10 Political and Economic Imponderables that should Drive Every American Crazy
1. Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich, at a $40,000-a-plate campaign fund raising event.
2. Only in America could people claim that the government still
discriminates against black Americans when we have a black President, a
black Attorney General and a federal workforce that is roughly 18% black
when entire the black population is only 12%.
3. Only in America could we have had the two people most responsible
for our tax code — Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department
and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means Committee — turn out
to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.
4. Only in America can we have terrorists kill people in the name
of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims
might be upset by the backlash.
5. Only in
America would we make people who, want to legally become American
citizens, wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of
thousands of dollars for the privilege, while we discuss letting anyone
who sneaks into the country illegally just become American citizens.
6. Only in America could the people who believe in balancing the
budget and sticking by the country’s Constitution be thought of as
“extremists.”
7. Only in America could you need to present a driver’s license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
8. Only in America could people demand the government investigate
whether oil companies are gouging the public - because the price of gas
went up - when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company
(Marathon Oil) is less than half of what a company that manufactures
sports shoes and apparel overseas (Nike) makes.
9. Only in America could the government collect more tax dollars
from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a
trillion dollars more than it has per year for total spending ($7
million PER MINUTE), and complain that it doesn’t have nearly enough
money.
10. Only in America could the rich
people - who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying
their “fair share” by people who don’t pay any income taxes at all.
1. Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich, at a $40,000-a-plate campaign fund raising event.
2. Only in America could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when we have a black President, a black Attorney General and a federal workforce that is roughly 18% black when entire the black population is only 12%.
3. Only in America could we have had the two people most responsible for our tax code — Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means Committee — turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

7. Only in America could you need to present a driver’s license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
8. Only in America could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public - because the price of gas went up - when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of what a company that manufactures sports shoes and apparel overseas (Nike) makes.
9. Only in America could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a trillion dollars more than it has per year for total spending ($7 million PER MINUTE), and complain that it doesn’t have nearly enough money.
10. Only in America could the rich people - who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying their “fair share” by people who don’t pay any income taxes at all.

Gotye Parody Obama I Used To Know
Whatever side of the aisle you are on, OBAMA that I USED TO KNOW is one of the best done and most creative youtube vids I have ever seen. Stay with it to the end for the real message.
"You can get addicted to a certain kind of message -- like this is change we can believe in, yes we can. "But college ended had to pay my rent. At least you're the first gay president. But the change I got is that I moved in with my mother." And the chorus: "Because you won and then you cut me off. Now your speeches never soar as high as unemployment. You took ObamaCare so far, but you left me like a dog strapped on Romney's car."

Obama Should be lauded as a Conservative Legend ..but there is just NO common sense in politics.
IMAGINE if a Republican President
- pulled us out of the worst recession since the great depression, and possibly saved us from a modern depression.
- Produced 2 straight years of private sector growth
- created over 4 million jobs
- saved the American auto industry
- killed Osama Bin Laden
- aided in killing Ghadafi without an American Casualty
- Finally ended the War In Iraq (Mission Accomplished ?)
- Championed the lowest taxes in decades
These politics of misinformation and half truths must stop. The Common Sense Party !
