Chuck Norris Kicks Liberal &*(
July 18th 2008 18:38
Martial arts hero and movie star Chuck Norris has a very political side as well. After becoming a supporter of Mike Huckabee, Norris has started spreading his conservative wings and really flying on his own. His latest idea has considerable merit and we might do well to listen!

But Chuck wouldn't like me eating junk food either. Nor does he care for junk politics.
Where does junk politics come from? A flabby congress that adds one committee, subcmte to a sub, sub of a sub cmte to make sure all the commas are included in what the Senat's sub, sub and perhaps subterreanean committees are up to. Heck, they've got so many sub cmte' s on the Hill it's amazing that they haven't hit the Amtrak tracks running below the buildings.
Forgive my really round-about-almost Art Buchwald way of putting it, but that's THE PROBLEM with Congress and why things take a year's worth of Sundays to get anything done. And both sides play the damn game to stall the other side of the aisle. Egotism, seniority and number of committees a Rep or Sen belong to make for a nice tight chord. And do they love to study, study, study themselves to death. They'll study SSA changes to death before they help old folks get more of what they paid into it.
The odd thing is that Congress is the smallest of the branches (if I'm correct) but it has so many damn committees whose overlapping roles and (members' egos, clawing for perks, power chits, etc.) lliterally clogs the system. My God if Tim Russert's heart and artereries looked anything like Congress' committee system with its accumulation of so many layers of "power-I-tis plaque, he wouldn't have made it to 40, never mind 58 is still too damn young.
There's the problem in a Gordian-Knot tangle of a nutshell, and we'd all have to be nuts to think anybody short of complete dictator could ever simplify the Congressional system in a lifetime's worth of sundays, mondays, tuesdays ... Cutting out all those committees cuts out the chits, earmarks and whatever else fills their troughs and war chests up with goodies -- all legal. I don't care for mob rule, but there's mob rule and MOB rule. The founders didn't want mob rule, but thanks to the all the capos and committee goodfellas and big chairmen, the Dons, we've got MOB RULE,and it's all legal.
Cut out the number of committees and we'll get the blood flowing.
Do you think for a second FDR could've gotten even a tenth of his 100 Days Emergency Legis passed with Granny Nancy's racket and Famiglia? He would've HAD to be every bit of the dictator his GOP opponents claimed he was.

And like those 256 different shades of East German/Prussian gray, are you sure Congress can decide there's a blue sky above the cloud cover without another cmte formed?
Now I'll need a cmte to study sleep deprivation!

Seems to me that most of the dems are against any reasonable plan to help our current problems, and to me that makes them traitors, they are the problem, instead of being the solution.

The Political Brief
There are few faces in America (or the world) more readily recognized than Chuck Norris. His politics are very clear and conservative without being "stodgy". He isn't a career politican or a Washington insider who owes favors to everyone (except constituants).
I feel a new post coming on!
