The title pretty much says it all. Opinions are like Assholes, everyone has one and they all stink. Yeah even mine…I am sure there will be some people that read this Blog and think my opinion stinks. So stop reading it, unfriend me on Facebook, lose my phone number I really don’t care. I wonder if more people had an attitude like mine if the world would be a better place.

I get all fired up sometimes, especially when I read the mainstream news. Not so much the content of the news, I know it is mostly made up bullshit! But the comments people make on articles from these mainstream news outlets blow my mind. People are so narrow minded and set in their own ways of thinking. Most of these people think they are so smart and all of them think their opinion is right. Well, I am going to share my opinion on all of the hot topics of today. And of course like all these other assholes, I am right you are wrong. In the words of Daniel Tosh, I’m better than you, Na-na Na-na Boo-Boo stick your head in Doo-Doo.

Lets start with the list of hot topics from US News and World Report.

1. Immigration: This country was built by immigrants. Each and every one of us (unless you are 100% Native American) are descendants of immigrants. People who came to this country seeking a better way of life. I don’t think anyone has any issue with immigration. What people don’t seem to understand is that MOST of us do have an issue with Illegal Immigration. Why is it so difficult for this country to come up with a simple cost effective way for people to come to this country legally? It is quite simple really. Fill out a form, pay a small processing fee and get a temporary citizenship I.D. Over the next two years you will be looked in on to make sure you are becoming a productive member of our society. Working, paying taxes, learning to speak English and obeying laws. If you violate these laws, stop paying taxes or fail to meet these requirements, swift justice, we will load you on a bus, boat or plane and ship your ass back where you came from…you can apply again after 1 year. If you are removed from the country more than once, we place a micro chip somewhere under your skin and track your ass to ensure you never return here again!!
2. Same Sex Marriage: Why is this such a big damn deal. I don’t care if someone want to marry their boyfriend, sister, cousin, dog, hamster. WHO CARES!!!! That is all I have to say about that…it is a STUPID TOPIC!!
3. Education: Here we go. Our education system is BROKEN. From Kindergarten through Graduate School. You can read more about my opinion on education in my blog post Life Skills. Basically we are going about education all wrong, hence the reason there are 5.6 million trade jobs in the U.S. that we are unable to fill. We are teaching kids how to take tests in grade school, forcing kids to go to college and charging them a fortune for it. Most people are not built for this type of system. We cant and should not be telling kids that the only way to live a successful life is by going to college…it is just not TRUE!!
4. Gun Control: If any of you have read any of my Blogs, you know I am very passionate about this subject. Guns have been and always will be a part of society, every society. They will change, get more powerful, get smarter and more complex. Anyone who thinks that World Peace is ever possible has not been paying attention. There will always be some form of violence and war. It is millions of years in the making, deeply embedded in Human DNA. Violence is not going to end, no matter how many laws you pass, criminals will still have guns. Laws do not prevent crime, they are put in place as a deterrent and to have some form of written documentation on how to punish people who break them. You can write all the laws you want in an attempt to control guns and who has them, but you will only prevent law abiding people from obtaining them. If you want more of my opinion on Gun Control go HERE!
5.   Taxes and the Economy: This shit has gotten out of hand. The bigger the government gets the more the people get taxed. Did you know in the last 7 years under the direction of this government our National Debt has gone up 10 Trillion dollars?? It has Doubled in just 7 years. That is insane!!!! Government spending is out of control. Taxation is out of control. The top 20% of earners in this country pay nearly 84% of all taxes and the bottom 60% of earners pay only 2%. Can you say LOPSIDED. Progressives want the top 20% to pay more. How is that even possible? They want the top 20% to pay more so they can give more to the bottom 60%. It is common sense to know that is not right. People have become so dependent on the government that soon this bubble is going to burst, and shit is really going to get bad. Social Welfare is not the answer. Printing money is not the answer. We are too far in over our heads, I just hope I die before the levee breaks. I feel sorry for my kids and their future.
6. Health Care: Here is yet another joke that is not so funny. Instead of reforming the health care system our brilliant government decided a better idea is to subsidize Health Insurance and force people to buy it. The health care system is like a giant pyramid scheme. Becoming a doctor cost a fortune and takes a lot of time. Hence doctors need to make  more money to compensate for this. Advanced medical equipment is expensive, so the cost of health care is expensive. Doctors get sued when they make a mistake, so they need to have even more Insurance, cost go up even more! I have an idea, how about a non-profit health care system? The hell you say, you mean only charge people what it actually cost to receive care?? Are you out of your Vulcan Mind?? Unfortunately, we are so far past the ability to do this. You cant trust the government to do it…look how well they have done so far. Human kindness is the only way this could ever work. It would take people to start non profit hospitals, good doctors to take a reasonable salary and good humans not to bring litigation against the very people that are helping them when they make a mistake. Human nature will never allow this to happen, people are too stupid and greedy!
7.  Climate Change: This is the biggest money making scam of the 20th century, and will be even bigger in the 21st century. I do not doubt that humans are causing pollution, that is common sense. But I will tell you this…if someone found 100% definitive proof that Climate Change is a natural occurrence, that person would get buried in a deep dark hole and never heard from again. Global Warming/Climate Change is a multi-billion dollar per year THEORY. Creating thousands of government and private sector jobs. Of course alternative energy sources are wonderful and they should be studied and implemented when and where they are cost effective. Luckily for us our government is involved so there is no way anything cost effective will happen now. Did you know that the budget for the Department of Energy will be almost $30 Billion for 2016…how much of that money will actually be used to save energy? NONE!!! I have an idea, lets take that $30 Billion per year and physically install green energy technology around the country instead of just spending it on research. Let the private companies spend their money on R&D and actually put our tax dollars to work. If our government would buy the products from these companies with that money instead of subsidizing their research we would all be better off.
8. Foreign Policy: This is a losing battle, we keep trying to bring World Peace by being the World Police…good luck with that. This country does not need a foreign policy…We are going off the grid!! We have all the natural resources we need in this country, Mexico and Canada. We do not need to play big brother all around the world. We should concern ourselves with Defense and stop playing Offence. This of course will never happen, America is the life blood of the world economy. If it were up to me I would integrate Mexico into the United States, continue relations with Canada and we are all set. We don’t need Chinese crap. We don’t need to import anything outside Mexico and Canada. If we cant make it in our country, we don’t need it. We have the technology, the ability and the workforce to get it done. Let the rest of the world fend for themselves for a while.
9. Marijuana Legalization: I added this one because it is a hot topic, and a really stupid one. Let me see…there is this plant that grows from the ground that when ingested or smoked causes mind altering effects…SO…lets outlaw it. WTF!!! Drug companies can make artificial substances that do this and we call them medicine and they kill thousands every year, legal. Tobacco kills hundreds of thousands of people every year, legal. Alcohol has to be manufactured and kills thousands every year, legal. But this PLANT is illegal. This is just another example of how stupid and wasteful our government is.

Well these are my opinions, they stink, I know. But they are mine and I am right. If you don’t like it, I don’t care!
