Red Team vs. Blue Team

The Main Difference: The MLB doesn't claim the right--regardless of who wins the game--to control your life, steal your money, and put you in prison/shoot you if you don't obey.

Similarities include:
- Teams battle tooth and nail, but ultimately work for the same organization
- Engenders fierce rivalry among spectators based on not much more than where someone grew up or what they're favorite color is
- Provides a fabulous living for those playing the game
- Relies on the participation of millions of people in order to have any significance

Political quiz

Which presidential/VP candidate supported the TARP bailout (that massive transfer of wealth from all of us lowly taxpaying peasants to the Wall Street firms and big banks who took all those crazy risks prior to the economic crash)? Was it: (a)Barack Obama; (b) Mitt Romney; (c) Joe Biden; or (d) Paul Ryan? Answer: (e) all of the above. Don't vote for any of these creeps.

The solution is actually quite simple

Paul's Ryan's Principle Problem

Paul Ryan: "This bill offends my principles, but I'm going to vote for this bill to preserve my principles."

Ben Swann: "What does that even mean?"

The illusion of choice

Spoiler alert. No matter which dynamic duo wins, we will get more debt, more war, more bailouts, more handouts, more inflation and less liberty. Reject this illusion of choice.

Empires and their games

False.

The land of the free? Don't make Dwight laugh.

A tragic waste of youth

"Just imagine what MICHAEL PHELPS, the greatest Olympian of all time, might have accomplished if he hadn't smoked pot? After 18 gold medals (22 overall), all he can look forward to is the bleak future of other pot users...such as Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Sarah Palin, and Steve Jobs."

The lesser of two evils

"The greatest lie & myth in politics: Good people are obligated to support the lesser of two evils."- Mike Rothfeld

I interrupt the very serious Chick-Fil-A scandal for this announcement: the president is murdering innocent civilians around the globe via drones, the Federal Reserve is inflating our money supply into worthlessness to enrich the politically connected few, politicians are forcing trillions of dollars of debt on future generations to further their own careers, soldiers lives are being sacrificed to enrich defense contractors and expand government power, Americans are being placed in cages for the non-crime of smoking a leaf (even for medicinal purposes).....and, government has no place being involved in marriage AT ALL in the first place, neither defining "traditional marriage" nor sanctioning gay marriage. Now, back to your previously scheduled distraction.
