Are We at a Tipping Point? Congressman thinks Guam is!!

Tipping point has been a hot phrase for several years now.  It is basically the point of no return.  Global Warming activists have claimed for the past five years or more that our climate was at a tipping point.  If the melting of the ice caps continued for even another year, the flood of warming water would push our climate over the edge and we were doomed.  Then it was actually reported that temperatures have been cooling for the past five years.  Oops.

Some folks take the phrase literally.  Like the good congressman from the great state of Georgia.  Take a look at this video from yesterday, where he was grilling an admiral about plans to increase the number of marines on the island territory of Guam.  The first 1:46 is painful to watch as Congressman Johnson struggles with the concept of length and width.  If you can't take it anymore, fast forward to about 1:40 in the video, where the good congressman makes us all proud to be Americans.


My first thought was, April Fools!!! Then I looked at other videos featuring the congressman. He is an everyday fool, April 1 has nothing to do with it. At a townhall meeting this past fall, he actually argues that the Preamble to the Constitution mandates the federal government to provide welfare for the citizens. "To promote the general welfare" is open to interpretation, I guess. Then after Congressman Wilson's "you lie" outburst during one of President Obama's speeches, Congressman Johnson makes the brilliant observation that Americans will soon be donning their "white robes and hoods."

With morons like this in positions of responsibility, I believe we are at a tipping point in America. How much damage can we allow them to do before we get to a point where we are unable to recover? When I managed a department store, we gave all applicants a 5th grade level math test to qualify them to work in the store. Only about 70% of the applicants passed, but that's for another post. Maybe we need a very basic knowledge test for all applicants for public office. And we definitely need one for voters who put these idiots into office. I'm not sure who should be more embarrassed, Congressman Johnson or the voters of the 3rd district of Georgia who thought he was the best choice to represent them!

Now I have a new worry. With the masses leaving the cesspool that voters and government have made of California, will the U.S. start to tip? I heard that many Californians are moving to Texas. Will the extra weight cause the country to tip south and east? It must be all this tipping because I'm getting nauseous. Stock tip of the day - buy McNeil-PPC, makers of Dramamine. We're all going to be dizzy before these guys are done.
