I never watched American Idol, so I never heard of Kelly Clarkson until I was googling for ‘Stuff Like That There’ from For the Boys. I fell in love a little when I watched her perform that song. I particularly like the look on her face at the end. She knows she nailed the performance.

That said, I don’t much care who celebrities endorse. Almost without exception, I do not find them to be thoughtful individuals. And she’s just kid.

Libertarians/Paulites are railing against Big Government. That’s a good thing.

Yes, I understand fully. I do not watch TV at all. Waste of time.

When I was in my late 20’s I flirted with libertarianism. There were some pretty good writers then that had compelling arguments about personal liberty. That resonated then and now.

I soon realized the thinkers behind what was labeled as the “Libertarian Party” had supporters who were dopers and worse. Remove Christian restraint (voluntary) from the equation and it destroys all arguments for the maximum personal liberty.

Our founders understood that the Republic that they gave us would only work with an honest and moral people. Any other group of citizens would self destruct the ship. That is where we are at. Techno Fixes will not correct this mess we are in. Return to honesty, morality and sincere faith is the only path out.

It is time to DownSize DC! Get the “regulators” out of our lives. Let the nation again be great, own our own.

Maybe.

Maybe they're excited about legalized "medical" marijuana. Quein sabe?

I only know the name "Kelly Clarkson" because of that scene in "The 40 Year-Old Virgin."
