Noonan did it again. The below link is to her latest column “Just the Facts.”

She laments the partisanship in government and suggests that “Now of all times, and in this of all speeches, sheer, blunt logic is needed. He must appeal not to the nation’s heart but to its brain.”

Still blind to Obama’s political personality she ignores the fact that if he had a family crest its motto would read “Don’t confuse me with facts.”

As I recall, we in this forum have had a fair tax discussion before, at which time I put forth my theory that this would ultimately require the US to support everyone in Mexico.

The Fair Tax is the solution to our predicament. It addresses most all of our problems. Its passage would be the greatest transfer of power out of D.C. to the people in our country’s history.

There is one point that is very true, and that is that the government will not give up their power voluntarily. I also think that Peggy Noonan confuses disheartened with frustrated and feed up to the point where we realize that the only way to change the gov’s ways will be by force. I think we are getting very close to that point. Cleaning house and changing the players like was done in 1994 is not enough. The rules of the game have to change or else, we will be at the same point 10 – 15 years later, again. Just to brainstorm on a few of those such changes, consider these: Term limits, Eliminate Perks, Rescind exemption to laws passed, Reduce Pay proportionate to market jobs, No guaranteed retirement benefits, millionaires that want to serve can serve without pay, no laws passed that are not clearly defined in Constitution, 2nd Amendment is the permit to carry concealed weapons, same health care plan as the rest of us, no benefits for illegals, etc. etc….

Re: “The Left is angry that because it hasn’t achieved a utopia, despite having elected the people who promised one.”

Let them eat burnt cake.
