If anyone reading this really knows me, there are things that I don't tolerate well. Hypocrisy is one of them. I'm dedicating this blog to call out the hypocrites in our society.
Beyond that, you should know that I don't have a specific political group I follow. I consider myself a fiscal conservative and social moderate / progressive. So when reading that description, let's explore that a little. I want LESS government spending. I hate that we have empty trust funds for Social Security and Medicare simply because our representatives have taken the monies sitting in those trust funds to pay for day to day operations of our government.
I believe that the government should stay out of my personal life and shouldn't legislate what I can do in the privacy of my own home. I believe that the representatives should regulate business to the point that the citizens, as the consumer, is protected. I do NOT believe in de-regulation so the political donor class in this country can enrich themselves at the expense of the middle class or citizens struggling to get ahead. Representatives are there for all citizens, not a select few who can donate to political campaigns. Other things I believe in are: Term limits for all elected members of the US Government. 25 year terms for Supreme Court Justices instead of lifetime appointments. I think that would be a good start.
Getting back to hypocrisy, I'm going to be writing about people I see every day in the media, in government, or public life. I will even be writing about my own hypocrisy when my wonderful wife points it out. As part of these entries, I'll be providing information sources so I can point you, the reader, to those sites to read and make your own conclusions. So wish me luck, if you agree or not, please feel free to leave a message with your thoughts. Oh one other thing, I believe people can agree to disagree. Keep that in mind, and we should be good!
