I was listening to Glenn Beck's radio program this morning when he read a letter he received from a man in Arizona.
The letter, while from a man slightly youunger than myself and with a different voting record, the sentiment, thoughts, anger and sadness at the statre of our country touched my heart and well as my mind for it is exactly how I see things ... give it a read. I think you will agree. If you don't ... move on and don't come crying to those of us who have tried to warn you ...

I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?
Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:
One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with legal immigration.
Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.
Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.
Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.
Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!
Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don't you start there.
Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.
Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why ‑‑ what do you have against shareholders making a profit?
Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.
Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band‑Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.
Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try ‑‑ please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.
Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.
Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow down and get some input from some nonpoliticians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.
I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.
From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington. Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we're morons.
We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we're so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work , pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you. You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when he will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.
Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.

Even the Obama Administration Knows that CO2 is NOT a Polutant!!!

CO2 IS NOT A POLUTANT!!! IT IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT FOR CONTINUED HUMAN SURVIVAL!!!!

WHEN WILL PEOPLE STOP FALLING FOR THIS LOAD OF CRAP???

I was going to vent a bit about the idiot leftist comedian Wanda Sykes and her hateful "humor" at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this past Saturday evening but decided that an idiot who can not grasp the full context of a statement she uses to make a rather sick joke is hardly worth the time for in a few weeks, she'll return to comedic obscurity. MY only question about her appearance at this most hallowed event is how in the heck she was chosen as the "featured comedian". Oh well ...

NANCY PELOSI IS A LIAR

What I think is far more important is the most recent example of the Speaker of the House and her latest lies regarding her knowledge of "extreme interrogation techniques" ... or as the leftist progressives currently in political power in our country and their lap-dogs know as the main-stream media (dino-media in most people's minds) TORTURE.

If any one in the dino-media would actually do their job and be the people's guardians as the founder's intended and the ONLY reason they were afforded special mention and protections in our Constitution, and report on the speaker's lies, it would be front page, above-the-fold headlines and the lead story on all the evening news casts ...such as they are. Surly if anyone as hateful as former Speaker Gingrich or even the milk-toast Dennis (call me Denny) Hastert had been caught in such a lie, it would be the lead story in the news for a stinking' month of Sundays. Why does this not bother more honest, thinking Americans? Maybe it does and that is the major reason that the overwhelming majority of the dino-media are going down the drain straight into the cesspool where they belong. THE ARE NOT HONEST BROKERS OF THE NEWS. THEY ARE CHEERLEADERS, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. THANK GOODNESS THEY DON'T WEAR THE SHORT SKIRTS.


The CIA has put out documentation that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Botox Nan damned well knew about waterboarding as well as other means to extract info from the Islamo-Fascists who would slit her throat as fast as they would Dick Cheney's. SHe even wondered if they were going far enough.

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi is a liar, plain and simple. When will that matter to the Leftist Progressives that control our government and media? Sadly, the answer is NEVER!

As for a few other questions that beg an answer from the hate Bush crowd, the hate any Republican (even liberal progressive ones like the presidents Bush) and most assuredly, the hate anyone who calls themselves a Conservative and wants our Constitutional Republic to remain as it was intended because it promotes the greatest degree of freedom to all citizens and allows anyone who whats to put forth the effort to succeed or in some cases fail ... that want to maintain something called Capitalism (there I said it) ... and to maintain individual liberty and personal responsibility ... I wan to ask those who fall into any of these groups, something that suits your formula for society, just why in the heck do are not in the streets as our current president BOMBS INNOCENT CIVILIANS in Pakistan? Where are the leftists protesting the expansion of our imperialist war against the people in Iraq ... if you haven't noticed, the troops are still there. Where is the screaming protest from the idiot left about the SURGE being implemented in Afghanistan? Where are your favorite morons? Where is "peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan and the girls of Code Pink? Why aren't Cindy and the Pinkos (kinda sounds like a rock band, doesn't it?) standing in some Chicago ditch or gutter in front of the Tony Rezko sweetheart deal home of our president protesting the death of innocent lives? WHERE ARE YOU????

Stinkin' hypocrites.

"Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world."
--U.S. Senator Daniel Webster (1782-1852)

When the grand pooba of the Branch Algorians makes a fool of himself, it must be spread to as many places as possible in the hope that more and more people will come to understand just what a scam, Man Made Global Warming / Climate Change really is. Of course, the mind-numbed bot-bots (I had to steel that from Rosanne Barr ... bot-bots ... pretty cool, huh?) of the Branch Algorians think that their leader handed it to the congressman ... isn't perception wonderful?!
If the old Cap & Trade boondoggle passes the Progressive dominated congress, hold on to your wallets!!! Although all those like Algore andthe good folks at G.E. (owners of NBC) and that raving lunitic Robert Kennedy, Jr.'s bank accounts will just grow off the charts....ah yes, Capitalism at it's finest.
Watch the Holy Man of the Branch Algorians get just a little steamed as a perfectly legitimate and logicial question is asked by Congressman Marsha Blackburn ... me thinks the Pooba protests too much ...

"It is a misfortune incident to republican government, though in a less degree than to other governments, that those who administer it, may forget their obligations to their constituents, and prove unfaithful to their important trust." --James Madison

Arlen Spector ... a politician who defines the word started his career as a Democrat and has never been a Conservative and has usually been an embarrassment to those who hold dear, the principles that made our country great. Sadly, there are so few in congress who hold those principles dear, regardless of party. It is the belief of the writer that both parties are taking us to the same place, only one faster than the other.

Where is that place? Fascistic Socialism or as some might define it, Progressivism. Read about it. Read the speeches of those great bastions of Republicanism ... Teddy Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, etc, etc, etc.

Liberty and individual responsibility, the two major building blocks that made our country unique among the world ... the two major building blocks that made us the envy of the world ... the two major building blocks that are THE reason for our greatness.

What have all of the administrations done since the turn of the century ... no, not 2000, since the turn of the century in 1900!!!

WAKE UP AMERICA!

Now, how about that little photo-op joy-ride that Air Force One, the most secure 747 in the history of the world take-off without anyone outside of the director of the White House military office, Louis Caldera, knowing. He has fallen on his sword to defend the White House like a "good soldier" and has often been the case with Leftist administrations, the military is at fault. I have one word in response ... balderdash.

It is interesting that in the photo in the NY Times, the trailing fighter jet is nowhere to be seen.

Here is a very similar photo clearly showing the trailing fight jet ...
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,518319,00.html

Oh yea, in addition to the huge carbon foot-print this plain makes, it cost us, the tax paying citizens of the United States, $328,835.

Here's the latest on this story ...
NYC Flyover Fallout » White House press secretary Robert Gibbs yesterday said the administration is conducting an internal review of the Air Force One flyover that caused panic Monday in New York City. "It was a mistake," Obama said of the photo-op flight, which reportedly cost taxpayers $328,835. Meanwhile, documents suggest federal officials knew the Air Force mission would cause alarm, but proceeded anyway. — Washington Post, Bloomberg, WCBS-TV

Can anyone think about how this situation would be dealt with and how the electoral mainstream media had this happened had the previous administration "made a mistake" like this?

Now, to Mexican Swine Flu ...
I feel for anyone who suffers from this illness and my heart goes out to any family that has lost a member of their family due to it but ... you knew that was coming ... as Rom Emanuel said, "never let a crisis go to waste" ...
Because of this, a person who has never met an abortion she didn't like, including the horror that is partial birth abortion, Kathleen Sebelius, now the former governor of Kansas, is our newly confirmed Secretary of Health & Human services. Yep, the health of our children is #1 on her priority list. Just ask Dr. Teller ...

So, back to Spector ...goodbye but sadly, not, good riddance for he continues to pollute the senate with his presence.
Maybe come next November, the good people of Pennsylvania will actually elect a senator who has not only read the Constitution of the United States but understands it and will work to return us to it's foundation.
And for all you leftist morons our there, no, I am not advocating a return to slavery. Idiots.
We can only hope and after all, isn't HOPE what it's all about?

Oh yea ... for all you leftist, anti-Americans who might actually be able to read this, I am not advocating a return to slavery which is the standard non-sequitur that is spewed forth by those who know little.

My oh my ... where to begin... the leftists who are now dominating the political debate in our country provide so much to talk about that it is oft-times mind boggling...
First we have our Speaker of the House saying that while she was told that water boarding was an enhanced interrogation technique, among others, that the CIA had in their arsenal to persuade these animals that would slit her throat as fast as any one's, she was never specifically told that they would actually use them ... WHAT ?!?! Is she serious? I know that she expects us to believe that she is and goodness knows that the sycophant mainstream media will say, "uh, well OK Nancy, what ever you say", but REALLY? http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/0409/Pelosi_briefed_on_waterboarding_in_02_.html
Then we have Congressman Henry Waxman, that paragon of the leftist belief in freedom of speech deigning Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the opportunity to show the fallacies of AL Gore's Man-made Global Warming scam. http://www.climatedepot.com/a/429/Report-Democrats-Refuse-to-Allow-Skeptic-to-Testify-Alongside-Gore-At-Congressional-Hearing

Of course the always interested in the truth Leftis..., uh, Democrats, "allowed" the Republicans to call former Speaker Newt Gingrich to rebuff the Branch Algorian propaganda, (have you ever noticed that it is the same speach, over and over and over again?) and while the former Speaker is a smart man and a great historian, he is hardly as well versed in the idiocy that is man-made global warming, he is not Lord Monckton who is in fact a scientist. http://www.theclimatescam.com/2009/03/13/lord-moncktons-speech/comment-page-1/

Do you wonder why Al Gore, who has been challenged to a debate by Lord Monckton many times, would accept the offer to simply rid the world of this global warming "denier"? If Gore has all the answers and the debate has been "decided" why would he not want to shut-up one of his most vocal critics ... show him to be the fool all you Branch Al Gorians believe him and all other "deniers" to be. Why? Because Lord Monckton has the scientific facts on his side and all Gore and his band of Birkenstock wearing, stinky old hippies (even if your wearing a 3-piece suit these days ... yea, I know ... peace, love, dope, music can change the world, right-on brothers & sisters !!!) trying to justify the last 40-50 years of their miss-spent, worthless lives is their "belief" and their need to dominate the lives of their fellow citizens. Unfortunately most of the follows of Al Gore are what was best described by using Karl Marx description of American and Eurpoean beilieves in the COmmunist/Socalist Revolution ... useful idiots.
The hoax that is MAn-made GLobal Warming is nothing more than a Communist-Fascist-Socialist power grab. So you think that those terms are not related? Do some research my ignorant friend. When are you people going to wake up? THE SCIENCE IS NOT DECIDED!! You say not? Give this a click ... http://www.heartland.org/full/24881/Great_Is_Truth_and_Mighty_Above_All_Things.html

You want to hear a Lib actually be honest about the proposed "Cap & Trade" legislation? Click this ... http://www.breitbart.tv/html/325633.html
It is all about controlling your lives ... take away your God given freedoms ...

It has been a very tiring last few days. I'll be back soon. There is so much BS out there that is not being countered.
WHEN DID GOVERNMENT BECOME OUR FRIEND? Read the Declaration of Independence (http://www.ushistory.org/Declaration/document/index.htm) ... read the Constitution of the United States ( http://www.consource.org/?gclid=CMe_5snOjJoCFVCE7QodLhU1FQ) for goodness sake.
WAKE UP AMERICA!

How Far We Have Fallen ...

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited bu it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." - Amendment X to the Constitution of the United States of America

My blog will contain many of my random thoughts, real quotes, links to articles and news stories or any other incident that effects the liberty of the citizens of the United States.
Our country has strayed, under both Republican and Democrat leadership, so far from it's original intent and from where we were just a few short decades ago.
Under the leadership of the baby boomer generation ... the peace, love & groovy folks who came of age in the late 50's through the early 70's, our country has become one boiling distasteful stew. We watch our every word out of a fear of offending, we are forced to accept that which is socially absurd and often mentally and physically abhorrent to any standard of civilized behavior all in the name of political correctness and tolerance.

I, and many of those Americans I know have had enough.

Here is where all that is absurd and counter to the continued success of the American Experience, at least in to my twisted mind, will be exposed, cussed and discussed.

Rant on!
