Pat Yourselves On The Back America

I am so proud of the American people. For years we have raised our families, gone to work and paid our taxes expecting those that we put in office to take care of the business that we entrusted them with. Unfortunately most of those that we entrusted with our country’s business have cheated, lied and manipulated the office which they have held. But not any more! We the people have made a stand and we say “enough is enough”. We will not be put upon by our own government any longer. They work for us….not the other way around. This isn’t some third world country where people sit around waiting for someone to hand us a bowl of mush while we grovel in gratitude at their feet. This is the United States of America. Granted, there is a small faction of our society that does wait for Uncle Sam to take care of them. Some have a choice in the matter while some do not. We need to weed them out as best we can. But the vast majority of our citizens work hard for their money and they deserve to do with it what they choose. It is not the business of a group of pompous and arrogant representatives to tell Americans how they must live or how they must spend their money. That isn’t part of the deal. Perhaps they should stick to the most common duty of a congressman which is to act as a conduit between the federal government and the local authorities and residents of the areas they represent. What a novel idea, right?

This country did not become the great Nation that it is by sitting idly by waiting for someone to take care of us or something to happen. We may be a young Nation compared to most but we have definitely risen to the top of the list in the short amount of time that we have been here. The people of this nation are strong and driven to succeed. We stick together in a crisis but depend on ourselves to take care of business. That is what makes us so great. We can disagree with a neighbor one minute and help rebuild their home in the wake of a catastrophe the next. How awesome a people is that? We may not have been paying attention to what our own government has been up to for the last few decades, but we are certainly paying attention now. We will no longer sit quietly nor allow any individual entrusted with our country’s well being take advantage the privilege of serving such great people…..the American people. There are people watching each and every elected official in some form or fashion and we are getting the word out across the country. Our elected officials will either do what we the people ask them to do or they can go home. Cut and dry.



All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
Thomas Jefferson





Don’t let up….keep calling, faxing and emailing your Representatives. Let them know that you are watching.

A Few Screws Loose

This Summer has had some of the mildest temperatures ever recorded and yet some yahoos are still crying “global warming”. The lack of named storms in the Atlantic should be a clue to the “green” idiots that climate change is a pile of malarkey. But there are thousands of brainwashed individuals out there and they need some sort of an agenda to latch on to that will give them purpose in life. Unfortunately for them, their purpose in life is all without merit.

Below is an article from the Detroit News. I found it so absolutely ridiculous that I just had to share it. This woman has totally lost her mind.

Detroit, Mich. - Michigan just experienced its coldest July on record; global temperatures haven't risen in more than a decade; Great Lakes water levels have resumed their 30-year cyclical rise (contrary to a decade of media scare stories that they were drying up due to global warming), and polls show that climate change doesn't even make a list of Michigan voters' top-ten concerns.
Yet in an interview with the Detroit News Monday, Senator Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.) - recently appointed to the Senate Energy Committee - made clear that fighting the climate crisis is her top priority.
"Climate change is very real," she confessed as she embraced cap and trade's massive tax increase on Michigan industry - at the same time claiming, against all the evidence, that it would not lead to an increase in manufacturing costs or energy prices. "Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I'm flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes."
And there are sea monsters in Lake Michigan. I can feel them when I'm boating.


Sounds like the ramblings of a mad-woman doesn’t it?

(Sidebar: I hope the Eagles don’t win a single game this year. I should have known they would play that sadistic jerk Vick.)

Such Hypocrisy

An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry.
Thomas Jefferson


I found this particular quote from Jefferson to be quite relevant at this time in history. The hypocrisy of the “Left” is absolutely atrocious in this arena. Hillary Clinton screeched her mind about being “sick and tired” of people labeling questioners of the Bush administration as unpatriotic and the “Left” rallied around her. But now that the vast majority of Americans are questioning Obama, we are unpatriotic. Apparently their hypocrisy knows no bounds because now not only are the Americans that have questions and/or are against these radical policies unpatriotic, we are considered Nazi’s.

Let’s look at the definition of a Nazi shall we?
Na⋅zi
–noun
1. a member of the National Socialist German Workers' party of Germany, which in 1933, under Adolf Hitler, seized political control of the country, suppressing all opposition and establishing a dictatorship over all cultural, economic, and political activities of the people, and promulgated belief in the supremacy of Hitler as Führer, aggressive anti-Semitism, the natural supremacy of the German people, and the establishment of Germany by superior force as a dominant world power. The party was officially abolished in 1945 at the conclusion of World War II.

2. (often lowercase ) a person elsewhere who holds similar views.

3. Sometimes Offensive. (often lowercase ) a person who is fanatically dedicated to or seeks to control a specified activity, practice, etc.: a jazz nazi who disdains other forms of music; tobacco nazis trying to ban smoking.
–adjective

4. of or pertaining to the Nazis.

Funny, I don’t think that the Americans showing up to ask questions at these meetings are the ones being called socialists. The only people being labeled as socialists are the lefties. They believe that they are superior and want to suppress anyone who doesn’t not fall under their spell. They are trying desperately to control every aspect of our cultural, economic and political activities. Seriously, who are the Nazi’s here? Not to mention, Pelosi, spewed that accusation pretty freely. The horrendous misery that so many suffered at the hands of the Nazi’s is not something that anyone in this country can compare our lives to. It is a disgrace and insult to the victims that lived through that Hell and to those that did not make it out alive. Those who dare make such comparisons had better mind their tongues because someday we will all stand before God and face his final judgment. Of course if you tend to believe Nancy Pelosi’s blasphemous statement, “you don’t need God anymore, you have us democrats” you probably aren’t concerned about it at all. Now that’s the epitome of a feeling of supremacy (note….see definition 1 above)

In the quote from Thomas Jefferson above, it is quite evident that arguments and heated debates are predictable at gatherings of people who feel strongly about something. And God knows, I and millions like me feel very strongly about preserving our Country and all that it was founded upon. Our founding fathers left us a wonderful guide for running this country…The Constitution. Perhaps we should try protecting it from those who wish to destroy it. Apparently doing so is the new definition of Nazi and it now describes someone who loves their country and will defend her as long as God gives him/her breath. Well, if doing so brands me the title of Nazi, then so be it. God and I know the real truth and that is all that matters to me.

Put Them In Their Place

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government. Thomas Jefferson

That is the message that our elected officials need to realize. It is time that they let go of their arrogance and succumb to the fact that they merely work for the people of this country….they do not rule the people of this country. We do not need a group of puppets that can’t even read and understand a healthcare bill to run every aspect of our lives. They are elected to bring our wishes and fights to Washington….not to impose their wishes upon us.

Every generation needs a new revolution.
Thomas Jefferson

I do believe that our representatives will come to understand this in 2010. Voting day will tell the tale of each of their careers. Our generation will have its revolution on that much anticipated day.

They Just Don't Get It

Have you ever felt the need to chunk the nearest object at your television while watching the news? Boy I sure have and last night was one of those times. I watched as every pundit took a turn at analyzing the American citizens showing up for town hall meetings. I kept yelling at them, not that they could hear me, “You just don’t get it”. They continually made the actions of our citizens a “party” issue. This has nothing to do with party affiliation. Just like the tea parties, there are democrats, republicans and independents at these meetings. The people are sick and tired of “big brother” interfering in our lives. I have heard crowd members yell out at these meetings, “It’s not about healthcare…it’s about freedom.” We are perfectly capable of making our own decisions. We don't need politicians to do it for us. We have told them again and again that we will fire them for trying. And yet they still don’t get it.
I was really disappointed last night listening to Mort on Fox News (the only station that I watch) completely misconstrue the reason “we the people” are rallying at these meetings. It isn’t to shout down the explanation of the healthcare bill, it is to let these congressmen know that we want smaller government. And when I heard one congressman yell at a man in the audience to “Shut Up”, boy did my feathers get ruffled. They work for us. And yet they still don’t get it.
We tell them what to do, not the other way around. I shook my head in disbelief as I watched the news anchors and the videos of these town hall meetings. Have none of these idiots ever read the constitution? Shouldn’t that be a prerequisite to the position of any public office? I would certainly think that it would be a good idea. We the people, do not want a career politician serving us. We want normal people that have normal lives to vow to spend a couple of years of service representing his or her district or state. Not people that have decided to make a career out living off of taxpayers. Especially the ones that don’t listen to the people that they are representing.
So I recommend that we vote them all out and start all over. We should also put term limits on congressmen. That would certainly help to eliminate “career politicians”. They should no longer receive the salaries and perks once they are out of office either. Back to work they go just like everyone else on the block. We will place a flag pole in their front yard to acknowledge their sercvice. Maybe if we make all of these changes they will finally “get it”.

Call, write, email or fax your congressman….let them know 2010 is getting closer.

Taxpayer Funded Abortions Via ObamaCare

We all know that this Health care legislation mess before Congress is a terrible idea with ridiculous requirements. But did you know that it would allow a new government-sponsored insurance plan to cover abortions? Hold the phone you left-winged jerks. Under no circumstances do I want my money going to pay for the murder of innocent babies. It is a complete contradiction to my religious beliefs and the last time I checked, there is supposed to be a separation of church and state. Or does that just work for atheists?
I realize that the Obama administration wants to control every aspect of our lives, including whether or not we continue to multiply, but they are really stepping over the line here. They can believe he is God all they want to, but he isn’t. Therefore, the miracle of childbirth is out of his job description. What’s next, mandatory abortion for all non-black elitists? Don’t smirk, it would not surprise me in the least. I recall a comment made by Barry that he wants to "restore science to its rightful place”. According to LiveScience, a study was performed by statisticians at Oregon State University. It concluded that in the United States, the carbon legacy and greenhouse gas impact of an extra child is almost 20 times more important than some of the other environment-friendly practices people might employ during their entire lives. Well that plays right into the lefts fake “the world is burning” agenda. That is just the kind of scientific study that they need to try and justify that “we the people” should pay for women to kill their unborn children.
I am not sure what repulses me more; the thought of funding baby murders or the fact that these idiots are asking me to do it, doesn’t surprise me. I actually expect it from them. Next thing you know divorces will be forbidden because its splits a family in two. That means two separate homes burning greenhouse gases. Maybe the powers that be will deny overweight people food because producing food causes global warming. (I guess I should go back over the healthcare bill to see if I missed that one.) You think I jest but they have already completed the studies. Read the article at http://www.usnews.com/articles/science/environment/2009/08/03/save-the-planet-have-fewer-kids.html
Honestly, I am beginning to think that Hitler didn’t have squat on this guy.

Call your Congressmen, Senators and other elected officials. Make sure that they know we are watching every move they make and 2010 is just around the corner.

More On ObamaCare

The AP reported that…..Democratic leaders on Monday promised to push a sweeping health care bill through the Senate whether they get Republican support or not. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., the third-ranking Senate Democrat, raised the prospect of the leadership crafting a bill to Democratic specifications and using a rare legislative procedure to expedite legislation fulfilling President Barack Obama's top domestic priority. After numerous delays, three Democrats and three Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee are facing a Sept. 15 deadline to wrap up secretive talks and come up with a plan.
