I know how stupid I am. And that is what REALLY worries me about my country, because the people running it are stupider than me. All my life I assumed that people who got elected or appointed to high places must know more than me, at least, and I could be assured that at least in some ways, they might therefore be trusted to make better decisions for my country. I have been disavowed of that notion now, long ago.

Here we have supposedly highly educated people running the show, eduated at some of our nation’s most elite universities. Yet, they seem to be devoid of not only basic knowledge of history and economics, subjects you would think would be basic to even rudimentary understanding of how our country works and how it relates to the rest of the world, but grossly lacking in simple common sense.

It’s like the planet Socialism landed a space ship from outer space and dumped off its refuse of losers who already screwed up their world onto ours. We have a President who claims to be the smartest guy in human history for whom we have never seen a grade score from college, nor any records whatsoever from same. The press seems not to care, but perpetuates the myth of his consumate smartness while demanding anal inspections of the most minute details of every Republican candidate’s past. Rick Perry’s Texas A&M grades hit the intrnet five minutes after he announced, yet crickets chirp before you will see the President’s proof of brilliance school records. How come?

Leaving that aside, let’s look at some of his “appointments”. We have Timothy Geithner, who heads up the agency that collects taxes from us, yet cheats on his own, and claims to not be able to use Turbotax as an “excuse”. Hello????

We have a supposedly brilliant Secretary of Energy who wants us to pay ten dollar gas to promote his bogus global warming green energy agenda to enrich his and Obama’s rich donors while hurting severely every Texas businessman who has to drive long distances to work, every midwest farmer, everybody in the country who depends on gas-powered tansportation to haul things, work and eat.

But, it gets worse. Because now we have Republicans running who are discussing contraception and not gas prices, egged on by the hostile news media who are in the tank for the Democrats one and all.

We’re running on fumes, people!! The country is broke while Michelle takes yet one more pricey vacay on the taxpayer dime. Gas is scheduled to hit 5 bucks a gallon. The Democrat Senate has blocked every spending cut attempt to get the situation under control, and the Republicans have been too wishy washy, caving to this “bipartisan” nonsense the Dems periodically run by them as regularly as Lucy snatches out the football from Charlie Brown.

I’m frustrated. I want to be led by somebody smarter than me who will return my country to fiscal responsibility, stop the giveaway goodies to the losers of the world, and drill baby drill and bring down that pipeline from Canada to get us energy independent and get the gas prices down. We should be able to tell the Middle East to take their oil and feed it to their camels if we used the least bit of common sense in developing our own resources.

The cherry on the cake came in my mail last week as “good news” from my medicare advantage insurance provider. They announced “new services” Medicare is now paying for with money earned by you and me, the productive of the country, and virtually every one is to shore up somebody who, frankly, has made “loser” choices with their own health. You will be happy to know that if you choose to abuse alcohol, are depressed, are engaging in irresponsible sexual conduct so you might get a sexually transmitted disease, are obese or making nonheart-healthy eating choices, medicare will counsel and intervene you and whatever for “free”- To you, the person making bad choices, not for the rest of us who are paying for it for you.

Now maybe that sounds a little harsh here, on my part, but hey. We’re BROKE. And this stuff is why. Here’s your free behavioral therapy from me: quit drinking. Quit whoring. Quit overeating. Get off your ass and get some excercise. And quit charging me for your bad choices.

And those of you running for office: learn some history, learn some economics, learn some common sense, and get the gas prices down. Quit living high on my hog while I eat the pig’s feet. I’m ready for somebody with a brain cell not polluted with the cocaine of power ( not to mention the real kind) to run my country. ..somebody SMARTER than me.
