Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!

christmas-eveYes, we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on this the holiest of christian holidays. I heard a wackjob today saying we are celebrating the “winter season”. That person must like shoveling snow or is a witch… either way it’s Christmas to me and most Americans.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I won’t be overly offended if you say “Happy Holiday”, since “Holiday” means holy day. Happy Holy Day” That sounds nice. I may reply with a “God bless you”. But, “seasons greetings” is pushing it.

So, this Christmas let’s stick with “Merry Christmas”.

And for my Jewish friends, Happy Chanukah, and best wishes for your celebration of the two miracles.

Jeff and family.

A real plan to ponder

Mr. President,
A fix for $40 million.

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America ‘s economy.  Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the “Patriotic Retirement Plan”:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force.  Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire.  Forty million job openings – Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new American CAR.  Forty million cars ordered – Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – Housing Crisis fixed.

It can’t get any easier than that!!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes…
Mr. President, while you’re at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I’ll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!

What a laugh!

And quite frankly… a value at twice the price!

So, what could you do with $700 Bbbbbbbbbbillion to stimulate things?

Let’s discuss it! The Modern Constitutionalist.com

Change is certain

A few upsetting facts:

  • Unemployment is hovering around 10% of our population.
  • Jerry

    Jerry

  • Iran and North Korea are threatening the world (yup, us also).
  • Government takeover of our health care system (the good, bad, and the ugly).
  • The war in Afghanistan…
  • Tax payer funded bailouts…
  • Redistribution of wealth…
  • New taxes fees on middle class households.
  • What the heck is a czar?
  • Jerry (my dog) pee’d on my rug.

What would you do to address these problems?

A. Go to Copenhagen and press flesh for the Olympics to be held in your wife’s hometown that will inevitably cost tax payers  (yup, you and me) BILLIONS?

B. Get off your butt and bring the dog out before #2 ends up on the floor also…

I should have taken Jerry out.   ) :

My New Project National News and Discussion

I have been working on a new site.

http://clintonmass.us has been a huge success with over 700,000 hits a month so…

http://themodernconstitutionalist.com/ check out my National site and join in the discussion!

The Modern Constitutionalist

A brief introduction:

What is with this Constitution?

The United States Constitution is the foundation that all our rights, liberties, and freedoms are secured in. It defines our representation in government, the basis for our laws, and the structure of our government.

Our freedoms are a natural right, but these rights need a government in place to secure them, a strong government. Yet one that is bound by checks and balances.

Herein lies the struggle for The Modern Constitutionalist…

Enjoy, Jeff

New project

I am putting together a new web site for learning about Town Meetings and the local political process.

I have helped to form a group called The Clinton Local Accountability Improvement Group

We are a group of concerned citizens who are focused on bringing accountable leaders and policies to our local government here in Clinton, Massachusetts.

Whether it is excessive taxation and spending or unethical behavior of our town’s leadership, the Clinton Local Accountability Improvement Group is here to help.

The Clinton Local Accountability Improvement Group seeks to educate the public by presenting the facts and resources available in one place for the voters of Clinton . We believe that an educated voting public will make the best decisions for our community.

With an emphasis on Local Elections and Town Meetings we have a voice, and with your participation, we can improve our community.

That is from the “About” page. Lots of work to do.

I voted Democrat because…

One of the members at the Forum posted this. LOL

I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can
now marry whatever I want. I’ve decided to marry my
horse.

I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies’
profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the
government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t.

I voted Democrat because I believe the government will
do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

I voted Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as
long as nobody is offended by it.

I voted Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I
trust that the bad guys will stop what they’re doing
because they now think we’re good people.

I voted Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible
to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need
to protect me from murderers and thieves.

I voted Democrat because I believe that people who
can’t tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that
the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I
don’t start driving a Prius.

I voted Democrat because I’m not concerned about the
slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all
death row inmates alive.

I voted Democrat because I believe that business
should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They
need to break even and give the rest away to the government
for redistribution as THEY see fit..

I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need
to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some
fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the
voters.

I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted
up my rectum that it is unlikely that I’ll ever have
another point of view.
