This guy busts Ted Kennedy is his rather large chops. If you ever wonder why most of us hard-working Americans work well into May to pay our taxes…

I don’t know how you did this year, but my family paid around 27% income tax. Ted Kennedy and his ultra-rich “limousine liberal” buddies are very generous with my tax dollars, NOT THEIR OWN!

I’ve recently become hooked on the new HBO film-series “John Adams” based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by David McCullough.  Tom Hanks produced this series and the cinematography is magnificent!

Filmed largely in Colonial Williamsburgh (the American scenes, anyway), this work completely transports me to that time in our young nation’s history.  As I understand it, Mr. McCullough’s book is based on the extensive correspondence between John (Paul Giamatti) and Abigail (Laura Linney) Adams.  I had heard about this book a while back, but it never made my all-to-short reading list.  This series has moved it right to the top.  I highly recommend this HBO series to anyone, but especially school-age children.  Given our public education system’s apparent total incompetency with regards to American history (56% of eighth-graders can’t point to Washington D.C. on a map!), this film provides insight into the birth of our nation even a history buff like myself will find enlightening.  More importantly, the facts are presented in real human terms that are both intriguing and entertaining.

As I view the actions of our country’s founders as depicted by “John Adams” I can’t help but feel quite meloncholy when today’s reality snaps back into focus.  Are men of John Adams’ character extinct?  How lucky we are as a nation to have had men like Adams, Franklin, Jefferson and Washington at the exact point in history when America needed them most.  It sounds like providence to me.

This presidential election is getting down-right depressing. Being the libertarian that I am, the three people likely to be a candidate in November offer me NO choice. Between Obama, Clinton and McCain, I think I’ll choose abstention. As you may have already guessed, I’m a Ron Paul man. He is the first candidate I’ve been excited about since Ronald Reagan, and the only one talking about reigning in this runaway government of ours. I sometimes wonder if Americans have any idea what this country is supposed to be about and what made this the great nation it is (for now). I say for now because I watch our government expanding at an exponential rate, our dollar is quickly becoming a peso and it seems 95% of Americans don’t have a clue as to what’s happening. Both Clinton and Obama are stated socialists and McCain is the most economically liberal republican to ever gain national prominence. One thing is for sure. All three of these candidates are offering to expand the government even further by promising more “entitlements” (code for taking my money by force and giving it to someone else) and it’s a good bet they’ll do it with more deficit spending. George Bush, aside from being a pandering fool, has sold future generations down the river by refusing to veto every pork-barrel spending bill that crossed his desk and was instrumental in passing the prescription drug legislation that America has no hope of funding without printing money fraudulently. I pray the American people wake up soon and realize this election is just more of the same.
