NBC/WSJ poll: 60 percent say fire every member of Congress

NBC/WSJ poll: 60 percent say fire every member of Congress

I agree with the sentiment here.  Career politicians are becoming the problem, and are not part of the solution to what is wrong with our country.  We should term limit elected officials who are not doing the job the voters sent them to office to do.

I am considering voting against any incumbent in office more than 2 terms, unless that person is doing exactly the job I think he or she should be doing. 

When our country was founded, elected officials took their jobs seriously.  And by jobs, I mean their unelected career, as shopkeepers, farmers, or other.  We should have part time politicians who return to their career after only a few years of service.

Turn them over.  Vote none of the above.

Are Guns the Problem? Walter Williams

Are Guns the Problem?
Here's the money quote from this column:
Customs, traditions, moral values and rules of etiquette, not just laws and government regulations, are what make for a civilized society, not restraints on inanimate objects. These behavioral norms -- transmitted by example, word of mouth and religious teachings -- represent a body of wisdom distilled through ages of experience, trial and error, and looking at what works.
