Quick Bytes - Not quite bumper stickers, but these short, intro-level, common sense bullets are things some politicians would say if they could. And it's the least we need to understand.

What the Media Isn't Telling You

My Political Articles Here (by topic)

We have ourselves to blame for the lack of honesty and leadership from politicians, because we insist on having a politically correct society

Leadership, like truth - as much as we need both - hurts. And acting on what's right is difficult, by definition. Okay, let's use the word "necessary" instead of "right" for those of you who're squeamish (btw: you just proved my point). It is our own discomfort that causes us to vilify people who talk straight, as you will see if you bring up talk radio types around the water cooler. That's an example of what happens to people who say what really needs to be said - which makes doing so expensive for politicians who must be popular in order to get elected. That's one reason we are not supposed to be a democracy; and why voting rights should be limited to people who can pass a civics test and who are invested contributors to our system somehow.

Get the Word Out!: I believe that a billboard and bumper sticker campaign could help us get the word out about what conservatism is - because the traditional media outlets aren't going to air it no matter how much sense it makes...but everybody drives! Wake up, everyone, we now have America's first marxist president because voters didn't have the facts. Let's all get the word out ... starting with my original marcsbasecamp bumper stickers, shirts, hats, and more at http://www.cafepress.com/marcsbasecamp Visit the link to see what's there.

Russia Invades Georgia: I leave this here as a reminder that we will never "evolve beyond" having bullies in the world who get control of countries and pillage their neighbors for resources and control. Putin is not unique, I can name dozens of recent despots off the top of my head who have come and gone. That's why reality forces us to deal with them, and not "wishful-think" them out of our world view - and we should not look to blame those who have the responsibility of dealing with them for the problems they cause.
