Food For Thought

Drinking with Bob is right on target once again, giving us some food for thought sure to cause new levels of indigestion.



You would think there were some adults in the room, but for the most part you would be wrong.

Intellectual elites, and/or progressives, on both sides are leading this country to ruin. Thankfully, there are a few Republicans who are taking the fight to the street, but they are paying a heavy price from both sides. Enter Rep. Paul Ryan, R:WI, who had the courage to propose his Roadmap for Recovery. Ryan is getting firebombed from left and right.

Elites from both sides have long knives targeting those outside the establishment. Consider the unprecedented length taken in an effort to discredit Sarah Palin. The New York Times spent much of last month going through her emails, oblivious to the destructive antics of President Obama. These same opponents, including most of the media, all Democrats and a good portion of the Republicans, are now going after Michele Bachmann.

As you consider candidates for 2012, you should look very hard at supporting someone who is set to upset the apple cart, redirecting the goings on in a common sense approach. Those who stand to lose their positions and entitlements in such a move will voice their opposition either outright or from the back row.

Drinking with Bob has it right. We must eject from the broken system we currently employ to reach optimal freedom and prosperity. For this to happen, we must seek candidates who frequently oppose the progressive antics that have gotten us into this mess.

A start would be to strongly consider those "Conservative" FOX News contributor Liz Trotta , a graduate of Columbia University, claimed were graduates of "Fleabag U", referring, of course, to Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann.

FYI, Palin graduated from The University of Idaho while Bachmann holds a BA from Winona State University in her home state of Minnesota and law degrees from Oral Roberts University and The College of William and Mary.

In searching for potential candidates who appear ready to take on the establishment, Palin and Bachmann are among those at the top of my (The Florida State University) list.
