In Super Bowl terms, not a 55-3 blowout, but a solid 35-10 whupping.

Democrats need to seriously reconsider their authoritarian, statist, socialist, "progressive" dreams which have (again) been soundly rejected by the American people.

Republicans need to (for once) follow through on their positive, populist, libertarian small-government promises.

Both parties need to Trust The People.

In order for that to happen, The People need to trust themselves more than they trust their politicians. The solution to America's problems are not in Washington, D.C. You look at those solutions every morning in your bathroom mirror as you brush your teeth.

Stop waiting for someone else to make your life better, to make other people's lives better. Start figuring out ways to do those things yourself. That's the American Way.

Make yourself better. Make the world easier for other people, in big ways, in little ways. Cultivate kindness within yourself instead of envy, generosity within yourself instead of hate, and project that kindness and generosity to everyone you meet.

Changing the world isn't a big thing. It's a whole lot of very small things--which all start with you.

Start today.

Be The Wave.

Stock up. There's a pudding shortage, I hear . . . and the U.S. election is probably to blame . . .

How Republicans respond to being shellacked by voters: "What are we doing wrong? How are we not connecting with the electorate? We need to re-earn the trust of the voters."

How Democrats respond to being shellacked by voters: "The voters are having a hysterical fit. They'll come to their senses soon and elect us again. The only problem is that we didn't communicate our message well enough. They love us, they really do, and they'll realize it before too much longer."

You tell me which party actually respects your opinion, and your vote.

This, from the Heritage Foundation, which is called "surprisingly painless" by the National Review's Kevin Williamson:

How To Cut $343 Billion From The Federal Budget

So much for Obama's glib talking-point that his political opponents never talk specifics.

Me, I see this as merely a good start towards returning the Federal Government to Constitutional limits--like a river returning to its banks after a particularly destructive flood.

Awaiting howls of outrage from the Democrat special interests in five, four, three, two . . .

Via Protein Wisdom this, from Reason TV:

Traveling much, posting little lately . . . but had this thought, meditating on the coming Democrat Congressional Extinction Event known as the 2010 Elections:

The job of the politician elected to Congress is two-fold:
First, to resist those policy proposals that the American public express profound disagreement with, and
Second, to resist those policy proposals that the American public expresses profound agreement with, that the particular politician thinks would be a spectacularly bad idea . . .

If the American electorate lets you get away with the latter, then they get the government that they deserve. And so far, they have.

The reality is that it's not the Republicans that are "The Party of No." It's the Democrats who vehemently insist on telling Americans what they cannot do, in areas of life from what kind of toilet they can put in their house, to what kind of food they eat, to how warm they can keep their houses--it is the Democratic Party that has the explicit policy of telling Americans "No, You Can't Do It The Way You Want To."

Now, go out and vote. Vote wisely.
