Holder is gone!!!

Holder stepping down

Attorney General Holder is going away. Thank goodness. He has been a disgrace ever since he assumed the head of the Justice Department. I wish they would have impeached and removed him instead of letting him go out on his own terms.

Debt

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I, therefore, intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt.

Barack Obama - source: brainyquotes.com

Government should not be spending more than it takes in unless in an emergency. If the government was a business, it would have been bankrupt a long time ago.  Any entity - business, individual, government - that has too much debt on top of massive future unfunded liabilities is heading toward a major economic catastrophe.

Federal program should be prioritized and some that don't make the cut get defunded. If a government believes that certain programs are priorities that didn't get the funding in a previous year, the government should shift funds from a less priority or a program that is very inefficient.

Senator Obama was right when he stated that raising the debt limit is a failure of leadership. The problem is that President Obama does not care about reckless spending and is a failure as a leader.

Gun control

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.

With a string of gun violence and school shooting sin the past 20 years, some people including members of Congress want to ban certain types of firearms from being sold to the common citizens. Certain weapons such as the AR-15 and handguns are targeted because of their effectiveness as a weapon. These weapons, they claim, should not be sold on the open market.

However, when it comes to guns, the 2nd amendment is clear when it states that the right of the American citizen to keep and use guns shall not be regulated by the government. An armed citizenry is a free citizenry. Guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens is the best defense against tyranny whether at home or in Washington D.C. More guns in the hands of citizens is better than any guns in the hands of criminals


If celebrities can have armed guards, citizens should have arms. It seems hypocritical to me when Rosie O'Donnell was hammering away against gun rights then turns around and requests that her bodyguard get a concealed weapons permit. Even gun control advocate need the comfort of a weapon in their hands to feel safe.

TFA

Education is a bedrock of American society, allowing the current generation to teach the next generation the knowledge and skills necessary to keep society continuing. However, there is a threat to this basic tenet of a free society. This enemy is called Teach for America.

Teach for America is a cancer on the American education system. Allowing people with little training to teach in the most impoverished areas of the United States is a huge mistake. It takes away jobs from qualified teachers and lowers the wages of all teaching staff while imposing a northeast liberal viewpoint on the students.

Let us restore our education system by eliminating TFA and redirect our effort to train better teachers.

Late Late Show history

Here's my brief and succinct history of late night television

Johnny Carson - the godfather of all late night

Jay Leno - very successful in his early run, but the situation between him and Conan scarred his legacy as a host of the Tonight Show

Conan O'Brien - he deserved the Tonight Show and NBC did not give him a chance to succeed. At TBS, he is doing his show on his own terms.

David Letterman - the heir to Johnny Carson, was funny back in the day, now seems to be a bitter old comedian who is too liberal to be critical of certain politicians

Jimmy Kimmel - better on the Man Show than on late night

Jimmy Fallon - I tried to watch him a couple times, not funny

Seth Myers - SNL, too new to late night

Jon Stewart - funny but too liberal

Stephen Colbert - his act as a fake conservative is really stupid. Replacing Letterman with all his flaws for Colbert is a downgrade for CBS

Craig Ferguson - the man is a genius. Ferguson is more of a storyteller in his opening monologue. He entertains his audience with his gay robot skeleton sidekick and his horse Secretariat. He is not like any other late night show because his deconstruction of the genre and spontaneity make it's a lot more entertaining to watch than most current late night shows. It's sad to see him leave at the end of 2014.

Leave comments below if I forgot anybody or agree/disagree with my assessment of any or all of these late night comedians

Green

The Green Movement and the Left have shown their true colors. Instead of calling for cap and trade, along with other half-measures, they are calling for the end of Western civilization and capitalism

I believe in free speech but when the Left is calling for the end of capitalism due to climate change, where is the line crossed between protected speech and outright treason. The Left wants to overthrow this country and turn it into a backward, stone age culture with no modern conveniences, technology, or appliances.

Here's my suggestion to those on the Left who want to end capitalism - LEAVE. If you don't like how Americans are doing their business, go live in a third world country and enjoy the poverty.
