CHAPTER EIGHT, THE DEBATE

President Obama accepted Tom’s challenge but stipulated that he only had time to debate one subject and he chose the issue of “Equal Pay for Women”  Tom said that he would accept the President’s terms even though it was a cheap political trick to buy the votes of women. Since Obama chose the subject, Tom offered to go first.

Tom said, “It is a statistical fraud when Barack and other politicians say that women earn only 77% of what men earn and that this is because of discrimination. It would certainly be discrimination if women were doing the same work as men, for the same number of hours, with the same amount of training and experience, as well as other things being the same. But study after study, over the past several decades, has shown repeatedly that those things are not the same. Constantly repeating the “77 percent” statistic does not make them the same. It simply takes advantage of many people’s ignorance to buy votes; something that Barack Obama has been very good at doing on other issues such as Health Care.

Some women are mothers and some men are fathers. But does the fact that they are both parents make them comparable in the labor market? Actually the biggest disparity in incomes is between fathers and mothers. Nor is there anything mysterious about this. How surprising is it that woman with children do not earn as much as woman who do not have children? If you don’t think children take up a mother’s time, you just haven’t raised any children.

How surprising is it that men with children earn more than men without children? Is it surprising that a man who has more mouths to feed is more likely to work longer hours? Or take on harder or more dangerous jobs, in order to earn more money? 90% of the people who are killed on the job are men.

There is no point pretending that there are no differences between what women do and what men do in the workplace, or that these differences don’t affect income!"

After hearing Tom’s argument, the President decided to not offer a rebuttal. He realized he had lost the debate.

Much of Tom’s argument was taken from Thomas Sowell’s book, “Economic Facts and Fallacies”

CHAPTER SEVEN, OBAMA IS CHALLENGED TO A DEBATE

Tom Thompson issued a press release challenging President Obama to a debate. Tom was alarmed by recent actions of the President that seemed to jeopardize the existence of America. Tom said, “Forget about all of his previous blunders and unconstitutional proclamations, now , his last 3 actions are 3 steps in the direction of national oblivion: Step #1 was drawing a line in the Russian sand and daring  Putin to cross it, and he did. Step #2 was trying to give away control of the American invented Internet to the United Nations (what a disaster that would be!!) Step #3 is issuing a proclamation that is attempting to make women’s pay equal to men’s pay. This is probably the most damaging step of all. It will create economic damage that will lead to a massive depression. Think about it; if you have to pay the same amount to women that you pay to men, why would you hire a woman? Consequently, all the women will lose their jobs resulting in a 50% increase in unemployment. What a mess!"

A NEW, EXCITING CHAPTER OF THE AVERAGE AMERICAN MAN

Tom Thompson called a meeting of the Immortal Philosophers and said, “I do not think that your ancient wisdom is capable of handling the problems of my modern world. Heraclitus was right when he said, ‘One cannot step twice in the same river.’ Today’s river is filled with slippery, rocky problems that you do not understand. I hereby release you to go back to antiquity and I thank you for trying to help. I will become a modern Superhero who will deal with these problems with the philosophy of comedy. I will help America to laugh its way out of trouble. After all what could be funnier than the weird antics of President Obama? I will fight his ridiculous programs with my own brand of ridiculous humor! Let the game begin. May the best sense of humor win. Wish me luck, oh wise ones!"

WHAT DOES CLINT THINK OF MY NOVEL?

CLINT AGREES WITH MY PHILOSOPHY BUT HE SAYS I AM GETTING TOO SERIOUS AND SHOULD GO BACK TO WRITING SILLY STUFF SO, I AM TAKING HIS ADVICE!!!

LOOK FOR A MAJOR SHIFT IN THE STORY LINE IN MY NEXT CHAPTER. THANKS FOR STICKING WITH ME EVEN THOUGH I WENT A LITTLE CRAZY.

CHAPTER FIVE

Tom Thomson felt that he had a rendezvous with destiny so he wrote a speech that could also be used as a letter addressed to all the candidates for the U. S. House and Senate:

Candidates, Citizens, Patriots, lend me your ears; we need to impeach Barack Hussein Obama for failure to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Impeachment is the “constitutional remedy” for a lawless, dictorial president who has violated the Constitution more times than any other president in our long history. We are at a crossroads because our leaders lack the moral courage to stop spending and giving away benefits we can’t afford. They are addicted to buying votes so that they can continue to be elected. Two thousand years ago Plutarch warned that, “The real destroyer of the liberties of people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits.” Regardless of their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for benefits have embarked on a downward path to totalitarianism.

Our natural, unalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment. Please resist the temptation to get a temporary government handout in exchange for a future loss of your freedom. I want to preserve for our children the last best hope of man on earth and that is a free United States of America! God Bless America!

Sincerely Yours,

The Average American,

Tom Thomson

                                   

Chapter four

Tom Thomson pointed his cigar at John Locke and said, “I have a question for you.”

John said, “Go ahead and ask your question.”

Tom said, “Why do you guys seem to have so much confidence in my ability to stop this Nation’s slide into Socialism and Tyranny.

John said, “Because we know it’s in your blood and your genes to fight for Liberty! Let me tell you about your great, great, great Grandfather. Charles Thomson was a Patriot leader in Philadelphia during the Revolution and the Secretary of the Continental Congress Throughout its existence. He was a leader in the revolutionary crises of the early 1770s. He served as the secretary of the Continental Congress through its entirety. John Adams called Charles Thomson the life of the cause of liberty.

Tom said, “Okay, I have a good ancestor but what do you want me to do?

John said, “We want you to motivate some candidates for the Congress in 2014, who are Pro Impeachment of the President and Vice President. Impeachment is America’s last hope of blocking the dictorial reign of the imposter and usurper in the white house,’ , Barack Hussein Obama. and the window is closing fast, , The longer we wait, the more the man will continue to dismantle our constitutional republic, our national security, our electoral  system, our economic strength, our rights and liberties — and we may be left to see the foolishness of our inaction from the hindsight of harsh reality.. . In view of the fact Congress has refused to initiate impeachment against Mr. Obama — despite his many impeachable offenses — the obvious solution is to elect new and better representatives of the people. "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism and the Democratic party,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program because of free  benefits such as health insurance  until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.

CHAPTER THREE

Epicurus said, “Splendid! Cigars and beer with friends creates harmony and peace. Even average men become thinkers and philosophers with the aid of a good cigar. Please sit down and join us. Tom, we are here to help you and your fellow Americans keep your freedom.”

Aristotle said, “John Locke helped your founders to write and adopt a perfect Constitution which protects your freedom but it doesn't matter what rights you have under the Constitution if the government can punish you for exercising those rights. And it does not matter what limits the Constitution puts on government officials’ power, if they can exceed those limits without any adverse consequences."

Cicero said, “In other words, the constitution cannot protect you, if you don’t protect the Constitution with your votes against anyone who violates it! Your President Obama has violated the Constitution more times than any other President in the history of your nation! And he will continue to erode your freedom until the Constitution is merely some quaint words from the past that people once took seriously. He has broken his oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States over and over again by using Executive Privilege, Orders, Illegal Appointments, and actions outside the Constitutional powers given him.”

John Locke said, “With your help, Tom, we will put a stop to the tactics of this administration, which have the morals of thugs and the agenda of totalitarians.”

Tom Thomson stood up and enthusiastically proposed a toast to, “ANCIENT WISDOM AND TIMELESS TRUTHS!”
