A few good points, tainted by spots of stupidity (e.g. “ugly wind turbines” — the works of the human mind practicing advanced engineering are “ugly” only to Luddite morons (but I repeat myself)).
Excellent ideas!
Darned good list.
I would vote for him a million times! .....but I’m not a democrat.

The real difficulty is that no one can afford to be the bad guy telling the spending addicts that are the federal government and the electorate that they've bottomed out. Politician A: "We have a strict budget and you're not going to get candy this year." Politician B: "You can have all the free candy you want because we're going to take it away from The Rich, who stole it from you in the first place." Who gets elected?
A related difficulty is that more than one term's worth of austerity is going to be required to dig us out of this hole. Could 0bama fix this in the three years he's got even if he had the slightest desire to? (He doesn't; nearly everything he wants to accomplish will make the problem worse.) Could any politician in eight years? And what happens after eight years of austerity when the next demagogue comes along promising the moon for free?
It is due to that need for something encompassing both political parties and spanning multiple terms of office that I suggest the Balanced Budget Amendment be reconsidered. It isn't a perfect solution but it's better than what we have now. Discussion?
Do you know that your country Sheriff trumps the feds?
Does your country Sheriff know it?
If he/she knows it, will they adhere to it?
Go to Sheriff Mack's link (live links below) and read how he told the feds to take their edict to him to shove it - he told them all the way to the SCOTUS = and WON.
He has written a booklet on it and it's being distributed by people like you and me to country Sheriff's all over the country.
REad about Sheriff Mack's battle and victory and get the booklet and hand deliver it to YOUR local Sheriff - face to face. Then write a letter to the editor in your local paper and tell your local people about the law and that you have hand delivered the booklet to your sheriff. (buy an extra brochure and keep it in your own hands.)
This will alert the sheriff, in case they are liberal and wont to ignore it, that the public is aware of the law and knows that the sheriff knows.
This is a simple thing we can do to start shoring up our rights. For example:
If the so-called health care bill passes and the extra cost of insurance exceeds your budget - and they come to arrest you - call the sheriff. (Present your brochure and advise them to back off or face action for false and unlawful arrest.)
This is one simple thing we can do to protect ourselves and to help turn the tide of gov’t takeover.
Sheriff Mack's fight and success and a list of states and sheriffs that have been given the booklet.
the booklet

“1. Pay as you go, balanced budget—whatever you wish to call a return to fiscal sanity.”
No - we limit the amount of money the feds have to spend to 10% of our cumulative gross adjusted incomes. Because they would “balance the budget” by taxing us more.
“2. Freeze federal spending at the present rate, and let increased revenues balance the budget.”
Again, “No.” Federal spending this year is about $12,000 for every man, woman, and child. That is way, way, too much. It should be about 1/3 (maybe). It needs to be cut back to a reasonable amount over the next 10-20 years.

But I kinda liked the “William J. Lepetomane Home for the Criminally Insane”
Harumph...Harumph...Harumph...
Hey, wait a sec, I didn’t get a Harumph out of that guy!!!
Wouldn’t he be an ideal president? Senator, too. Wish we could install him directly.
I think there should be courses offer on why you shouldn’t take Bill Ayers course and become a brain-dead liberal. There should be courses on such subjects as the elitism and racism of the left, the PC codes, postmodernism relativism as a strategy for leftist indoctrination, the new virtue: amorality as the highest morality, victimology, etc. The sooner students get a handle on what’s out there the sooner they’ll come to their senses. If the left can infiltrate academia, so can the right as an equal opportunity venture.
