Yes, Virginia?

What I really want for Christmas this year is a new law. Several years ago Congress actually passed a law that said they, themselves, Congress that is, had to actually obey the same laws that we the people have to obey. Imagine that.


Well, most of them.


We have a truth in advertising law. What I want is a truth in politicking law. You know, something that says if one of those guys in Congress, or their staff, or from one of the parties, or a PAC, or whoever, buys an ad [hmmm - truth in advertising?], or makes a public statement to the press or elsewhere, and it's not true, then it's a lie, and they get like 2-10 years in jail for it.


You see, I'm getting really hacked off at all the "spin" doctors, including the media, and all the lies going around. All you have to do is go back and read over the past 10 years, and you can catch these guys on every side of every argument. This would lead you to believe there ain't no such thing as "truth," which is one of their biggest arguments.


But there is truth, and there are facts. The best defense of freedom in America is an educated voting public. Well, with the teacher's union and the education lawyers working together, they have managed to get our education level down to 4th grade in the past 20 years, and with all the illegal immigrants voting, we definitely do not have an educated voting public. Add the mix of lies and misdirection, misrepresentation and spin, and we're lucky we're still one country!


So let's get together, and make 'em bite the bullet, and pass a Truth law with real teeth in it, BEFORE the next election. Truth--or consequences. . .When you get right down to it, it's them or us! And, yes, Virginia, there really ARE more of us.
