• Welcome Purple People

    To me Purple People are those of us who are neither Republican Red nor Democrat Blue; we find ourselves in between. The internet often represents those on the far left or the far right; this site is for those of us in the middle.

    Since there are a variety of non-conformists that consider themselves Independents, here's a clarification. The point of view of this blog is basically Realist/Libertarian light...

    -Pro Small Government, bureaucracies tend to be wasteful and inefficient.

    -Government should not be the morality police.

    -Less waste, lower taxes. Taxes are okay if spent wisely. Roads and schools need funding. Be smart with my money and I won't complain.

    -Government shouldn't babysit adults. Help kids and assist people who have serious problems, but stop trying to protect everyone from themselves.

    -Foreign policy should be conducted by people with brains and experience. Think, don't be reckless and don't be politically motivated. Remember that the U.S. is not the only country in the world.

    -Tone down the rhetoric and remember your manners. Play nicely and don't belittle people who disagree with you.

ACORN’s Influence Over Congress

Posted on May 8, 2009 by kmorrison33

Representative Bachmann has offered what appears to be a very simple and logical amendment to the “Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act.” It simply states that no organization under federal indictment will receive government funds. Listen to what happened in Congress when ACORN recently came under federal indictment (again).

    My heart goes out to Bachmann’s family. She is suffering from a severe psychosis. Obviously you shouldn’t give tax dollars to convicted criminals, though it does happen. But anyone can get anyone indicted - that’s nothing. We could do away with everything using Crazy-Lady’s plan…

    Michelle is one of the few good congresspeople working for us and the Constitution. Michelle Bachmann is a good person and not insane just because she is a strict Conservative.
