I’m sure that this article will not set well with some but the more I think about what is happening in this country the more I've had it with some of people in this country, and even more so with the politicians who enable them and who know better, but whose desire, lust and thirst for power surpasses and go beyond anything comparable to common decency. It's time for a reality check, for the truth and here it is: this is one American whose sick and tired of subsidizing (support financially by my tax dollars) people who are too lazy to take care of themselves, and who expect and wait for other people to pick up the tab. People who would not work in a pie shop eating pies. Spare me excuses. I don't want to hear about "social justice," "victimization," discrimination,” or " unfair treatment " when they are nothing more than excuses that allow some people to live in this country on the back of working Americans while contributing practically nothing towards their own upkeep. There's a huge difference between the truly helpless and the truly lazy deadbeats, and I've had it with the politicians who make little or no distinction between the two groups. I don't care what these political prostitutes, who sell their selves, to get elected say or tell you, there's no such thing as "free" anything. There is nothing that is on the house and the fact that some think there is or don't give a darn because they are not paying for it, is a demonstration and verification to both their deceit and their lack of honesty. But then the deadbeats already know that and they are OK with it, as long as the government program or policy keeps delivering the goods and the check. The elected officials are okay with it as long as they get the deadbeats votes. This is not helping the people who truly need help. That is giving the ones that truly need help less. Now we have a government who wants to spread the wealth around. These means, in no uncertain terms, that more will be put on the backs of working Americans to dole out for people who can make a buck or two their own selves but would rather have it handed over to them. There was a time in this country when most people were ashamed to go on the dole and ask for any kind of government help, except as a last resort. There was also a time when most people accepted responsibility and blame for their own behavior, or felt bad doing something wrong when they knew it was wrong. But that was before secular "progressives" made it fashionable to believe religion-based moral codes were " out-of-date, not for today'" and that everyone was entitled to modify and custom fit their morality, their principles, their ethics and decency in accordance with "personal preferences." Where has the integrity, honor, and veracity of some people gone? Once such moral uncertainty gathered momentum, the legal profession and the therapeutic community were more than willing to jump on the bandwagon. For the former, "right and wrong" became "legal and illegal." For the latter, "well and unwell." Shame? Dead as the proverbial doornail. Its replacement? Self-rationalization and excuse-making. Who do these people think they are kidding? Not the American people who bust their butts every day to make ends meet. Not the people who try to do the right thing, just because it's right. A lot of them have been beaten into submission by our political class and some of our elected officials for whom nothing is more important than making decent people feel bad for not being "compassionate" enough. Well no more. I'm calling them out. All these politicians know the road to permanent and unending power is paved by buying the dead beats off. They are nothing more than blood-suckers, and it's long past time someone told them so. What good are they really doing our Country? I’m afraid more harm than good! All the decent working Americans who have been carrying the deadbeats for decades has had enough. Their self-righteous indignation and resentment is wearing exceedingly thin, and you may have noticed that the decent, law-abiding, hard-working Americans that are still the majority of people in this country are beginning to wake up. These are the very same folks who bend over backwards, time and time again, to help people in need and will still help the people who are, truly, in need but you deadbeats will have to do the same as all the rest of us do – WORK!

Here a little and there a little we are losing our freedoms in this country and most Americans cannot even see it. They just go with the flow. Our Founding Fathers recognized and knew that the armed common folk was the greatest and most effective means of defense against an oppressive government, which explains why most liberal Democrats have been trying to do away with the Second Amendment for years. To do away with a free people’s firearms is instant people control. They are no longer free. History proves that. As the United States spirals toward a one world government we are losing our means of defending that 2nd amendment more every day. We are so close to a one world government that it could happen in the very near future. Obama has czars that want a one world government, so you know what they are working for, unrestrained, answering only to Obama. We now have a president who will give this nation away in a heartbeat and even though he will not admit it he is not for gun ownership. What he is for, is total control over everything. We do not need or want a dictator (someone who wants to be in total control) or a dictatorial government that rules over everybody and everything. A government ruling with absolute power over a population has always presented the greatest danger to the citizens of any nation, Our Freedoms that was put forth in the Declaration that come from God have always been despised and hated by evil and ignorant men. I can think of no other time in our nation’s history when our God given rights and freedoms have been endangered by a list of statistics and worthless gun control laws, as well as other worthless laws, by liberal politicians, communist, and socialist, who hate every building block upon which our nation rests. We have people that have been elected to our government at all levels that hate this country and would tear it down if they could. And if they need help in doing it the Obama appointed Czars will help in tearing it down. We have a president and a attorney general who are one hundred per cent behind gun control and other laws that take away your freedom. What is the real purpose of gun control? The government would have you to believe it is to prevent crime and for the peoples best interest. The states and cities in this country that have the most strictest gun laws, that is where crime is the highest. For example, Washington, DC and Chicago. The government is using gun control laws to do what they want. It is for people control. Gun registration allows the government to know that you own guns, what kind they are and where you live. THAT INFORMATION should be none of their business. Most of the present gun laws are not to keep the citizen safe even though that is what they would have you to believe. These laws were made to lay the ground work for the government to knock at your door and taking every gun that you have and it will come to that very thing in the near future. Keep an eye on the development of the Obama Civilian Security Force (what was once known as the "Gestapo" a little over 60 years ago in a country called Germany). He said this security force would only be answerable to him. When these people start showing up, it'll will be all over. You will have to turn over your fire arms because it will be the law. The new Attorney General's Guidelines for Domestic (within the United States) FBI Operations authorize the FBI without going to a court to open a investigation and to give an assessment of any American without any exact information based on fact to open that investigation. Such 'assessments' allow the use of invasive practices to secretly and underhandedly collect information on people suspected of no wrongdoing and in no way are connected with any foreign entity. What is happening here is the total loss of our freedom. Obama has expressed no objections to these far-reaching revisions of the Constitution in a founding document he used to educate students about it at the University of Chicago. His attorney general, Eric Holder, said during his Senate confirmation hearing: "The guidelines are necessary because the FBI is changing its mission from a pure investigating agency to one that deals with national security." This the same Eric Holder who said, while George W. Bush was president: "I never thought that I would see the day when a president would act in direct defiance of federal law by authorizing warrantless NSA (National Security Agency) surveillance of American citizens." Obama now has a unrestrained FBI and it will get even worse if he is allowed to start his national security force. The Second Amendment was designed as a way for the people to maintain their freedom by giving them the tools to resist repressive government. Doing away with or changing the 2nd amendment will be the cause of all our other rights to be taken from us. Gun ownership (the right to bear arms) was never about hunting or stopping a burglar even though they are certainly a great benefit of gun ownership and always will be. The greatest danger to life and our freedoms in this world is government. That has always been the case. Down through the years it has always been that way. For examples look at Russia, China, Germany, Cambodia and on and on. Now we are seeing the same thing in this country. I think that it is now being called: “CHANGE”. And that change is from a capitalist form of government to a communist form of government. Making sure the government knows the population is fully capable of resisting goes a long way toward keeping that government on the right track. There is always a cost for freedom. The price is always high. Being unwilling to accept the cost guarantees the loss of freedom. A dictator or a dictatorial government has always presented the greatest danger to the citizens of any country including ours, Our Freedoms listed in the Declaration that come from God have always been despised by evil and ignorant men. I can think of no other time in our nation’s history when our God given rights and freedoms are being endangered by a list of laws made mostly by people who hate every building block and joint upon which our nation rests than this present time in our history. Our country is at a cross road and all conservatives, gun owners, and people who believe in our Constitution (as the founding fathers laid it out) need to stand up and be counted. The weapons of these people are deception, dishonesty, deceitfulness, confusion, a “in the tank” news media, just plain outright lies, and the power of government itself. These weapons are far more dangerous to our country than the fire arms that law abiding citizens own. If you are a gun owner you must realize that gun control is not the only freedom issue we have in this country. There is a list of issues that need to be spoken about. Government takeover of banks, lending institutions, the takeover of private business, the automobile industry, and health care, the taking of your hard earned money and spreading it around, and this is only the start. Appointing czars that are not answerable to you, the American citizen, as to how they run the country. That was not how our country is founded. Some of these Czars are proven communist and socialist. Here a little and there a little we are heading to a government that will have 100% control over every aspect of your life. Our freedoms and way of life as Americans are under attack and soon will be gone” HEAR A LITTLE AND THERE A LITTLE” May God have mercy on our nation and open the eyes of more and more of its people to rise up against the vile and deliberate attempts to erode our freedoms, to take the creator out of things, and turn our nation into a communist slave state. Laugh if you want but that is what is happening right before your eyes AMERICA. Do you have the same amount of freedom that you had twenty years ago, ten years ago, or even five years ago? The answer is no! Is the government bigger or smaller than it was ten years ago? We all know it is bigger! If the Constitution does not mean EXACTLY what it says, according to the plain meaning of the words as understood at the time it was written, (and it does) then there is no point to having a written constitution at all. What good is it. Our form of government was formed the way it was to have checks and balances so no certain branch of government could not have it all and become a threat to the common folk of this country. But look what is happening before your very eyes, the supreme court is now in the business of trying to make laws instead of interpreting the law, the congress do not care about or will listen to the citizens. All they want is their liberal agenda passed and their ear marks attached to bills that are passed, Then we have a president that wants TOTAL CONTROL over everything, even a police officer doing his job. It is time not only for gun owners to take heed but for all true Americans to do the same thing. You need to ask yourself this question: “IS THIS THE AMERICA THAT I GREW UP IN?”

I have read two different articles about the war in Afghanistan and in the last couple of days I have read some pretty disturbing things. I do not believe, what I’m about to comment on, was really reported because of our liberal news reporters that report only what they want you to hear. I do not know how it slipped through the cracks. During a recent battle in Afghanistan the United States commanders, quoted and referred to new rules of engagement to stop civilian casualties, in which they rejected repeated calls to unleash artillery rounds at attackers dug into the slopes and tree lines despite being told repeatedly that they weren't near any village." I bet you my last dollar that this was not the first time that it happened and it was totally ignored by the news papers and therefore went totally unnoticed by the American public. But this time there was someone to witness it, who had the doodads to write it down and publish it. I’m referring to the deaths of four United States soldiers that were killed by the rules of engagement they have to use when fighting the enemy. They are the new rules of engagement. This incident took place last Tuesday in an ambush, by Muslim terrorist, against Afghan forces and their U.S. trainers around the village of Ganjgal. There was a journalist whose name is Jonathan S. Landay of McClatchy Newspapers who was there and lived through the deadly firefight to write the following:

Specifically, the deaths of four U.S. Marines seemingly by the new rules of engagement (ROE) in Afghanistan. They the "U.S. commanders, citing new rules to avoid civilian casualties, rejected repeated calls to unleash artillery rounds at attackers dug into the slopes and tree lines despite being told repeatedly that they weren't near the village." 

What Landay describes and tells sounds like a terrible demonstration of what Afghanistan commander Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal talked about all summer and what many other people have called our war on civilian casualties. It is being waged, as thinking goes, to win Afghan "hearts and minds" and thus the "counterinsurgency" against the Taliban. Forget about the lives of our brave soldiers. McChrystal and this strategy currently have the over whelming support of both Obama and the Left wingers, who, with the help of a new conservative think tank, the Foreign Policy Initiative, recently wrote an open letter to President Obama specifically congratulated the president for choosing the McChrystal team, and put across confidence in its new strategy. According to their thinking protecting the Afghan people from, “Everything that can hurt them”, will not only make the people like us, but they will help us. (Please who are they kidding) These people think that this kind of thinking will upset and stop the jihad that is being waged against people who do not believe the Muslim religion. But what this policy is really doing is increasing the dangers for our troops that have been sent in harm’s way. Here is a statement that McChrystal made to the BBC: "It's a balance for the young soldier on the ground who is in combat. One of the assets that he has that mightsave his life, might be air power or indirect fire from artillery or mortars and we don't want to take away that protection for him."Now that to me is talking out of both sides of your mouth. The suggestion that our troops might be called on to think twice about saving their own lives was, to me, bone chilling. And more than ever after what happened this week is less soldier-on-the-ground uncertainty than commander-at-the-base wanting to pacify the Afghan Muslims. Here is what Landay's account said about this:

 U.S. commanders, citing new rules to avoid civilian casualties, rejected repeated calls to unleash artillery rounds at attackers dug into the slopes and tree lines despite being told repeatedly that they weren't near the village."

In other words, McChrystal's soldiers on the ground wanted protection to save their lives and didn't get it. Now explain that!This should be a national disgrace. A NATO-led investigation is under way into the incident, which on its face appears to be a natural result of the "hearts and minds" policy endorsed by Left and Right alike. As McChrystal put it last month: "We're here to protect the Afghan people. And we're here to protect them from everything that can hurt them, both enemy activity but also inadvertent activity by Afghan forces or ours. So we're trying to build into the philosophy of our forces a incredible sensitivity and understanding that everything they may do must be balanced against the possibility of hurting anyone." That is anyone but our own!

Our arm forces have come a long way since World War Two. I read in an article wrote by Diana West were she quoted a statement from General Patton which were repeated in the Movie “Patton “by George C. Scott. This is what Patton said: "I want you to remember that no b**tard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor, dumb b**tard die for his country." Today, our generals have something else in mind as we can see when McChrystal says: "The Afghan people are the reason we're here." I might be dumb as a stick like some of you liberals think that I am But I thought the reason we were in that country was to destroy the Taliban and their network of terrorism. If that is not the case then why are we there? Why are our young men dying every day, over there serving their country.According to McClatchey's report this week, there is a troubling and disturbing suspicion that the Afghan people, local villagers and even security personnel, were behind the Ganjgal ambush in the first place. Now what is wrong with this picture? Why are our young men and women fighting and dying in a war that they cannot win (BECAUSE OF THIS REASON ONLY) their hands are being tied by politicians and generals who want to be politically correct.

There will be some who read this article who will not agree with me but you do not take a big stick to a gun fight and expect to win. You bring a bigger gun and then you are not afraid to use it. Will this war against terrorist be won in Washington by people who want to be politically correct or will it be won by soldiers who hands are untied and given the order to get it done? 

You hear a lot about silent majority. You know the ones who are soundless, noiseless, unspoken, and never stand up for what they believe in. But here are the facts about the silent majority. They disagree with some of the ways that this country is run or should I say governed. We all have that right and it is my thought that if you disagree with something you should speak out and say what you mean and mean what you say. You will never change anything by keeping silent. Silence is not always golden. Right must have a voice that is heard. The silent majority must be united in its goal for a lasting peace in this world but at the same time they must be being united against people who think and live as if they were in the middle ages with modern gadgets. They must be unified against people that are elected to our highest office that would destroy this country. The Muslim world will not give in as long as the United States is a Divided Nation. The Muslims can never defeat this country. Only Americans, themselves can do that. We must remember there is one thing worse than war and that is to be over powered and defeated. We are a strong nation but we make our own self weak by being divided. Remember the old saying: “United we stand, divided we fall” There are some people in this country that have not got that concept or hypothesis yet. It is just like the example of wooden matches. You can break one very easy, two you can break but not as easy, three it gets harder until you cannot break the matches. That is how this country has to be to win this war on terror which is now coming against us. This is one war that we as a nation have to win. When you sit around and waste years debating if the glass is half full of water or half empty you both will be wrong because the water will be gone and so will this great country. To me that is a simple way of explaining the problem about the terrorist. You do not win a war by open handily giving ground to the enemy. General Patton, during World War Two, told his men this: “I do not want to hear we are holding our ground. Let the Huns do that! We are going to keep advancing till we win this war!” My next question where have all these great men gone? It is my opinion that we have the weakest president ever in charge of this great nation. What we need is another Patton and I can assure you that this war would come to a lot quicker conclusion. There are thousands of people that if they read this would be in agreement with me one hundred per cent. They have the same opinion but they will not open their mouth and say so. That my friend is the silent majority and because of you being silent and wordless your life will soon be over as you know it. Not only will the terrorist have control over us just look at the other things that are happening right before your eyes and the silent majority just lets it happen. The government in just three short months controls nearly all the banks. They control the car makers and can tell them what kind of car to make, they want to control, and most likely will, the heath care of this country. You will be having you health taken care of by the government, because they are the ones that control the doctors. The end goal of this present administration is to control everything including you. That is just about as close to being a communist as you can get. There is coming a day not to far off that people like me, who are not silent and will speak out, will be stopped from, crying aloud against the things that are destroying this country. You may say that I’m crazy, that I’m sick in the head, fanatical, a idiotic, and many other things, but there will come a time if the silent majority does not speak up it will happen. We have a man that is taking us to the cleaners real fast. Just look at what has taken place in just a very few months. What will this country be at the end of four years. He is living up to his promise of change. Where will that change leave us at the end of four years or God forbid eight years. The liberty that our fore fathers fought, bled, and died for are ever so slowly being taken from us and most of the people in this country do not even have a clue. It is time for people to stand up and say as Patrick Henry said long ago: “Give me liberty or give me Death”! It is time for more tea parties and most important it is time for people to vote for their liberties at the ballot box. Listen when the black people of this nation finally got tired of being at the back of the bus they made their voices heard in unity and rightly so. They had their rights as a free people and they made theirselfs heard. If they would have been a silent majority they would have been still riding in back of the bus. This day, June 6, 2009, I’m so thankful for the men and women that have served this country so that I might be able to write this article. I give thanks to the men and women who bled and died, the ones who are maimed for life The ones who are buried in a far away land who died to keep us free. Freedom is to be cherished at all cost. There was a great price paid for it by our servicemen across this world. .

When Justice Souter declared his approaching retirement from the Supreme Court, the media began to take on in widespread guesswork about who President Obama would propose and what criteria would direct his choice. sadly, most of the guesswork centered on stupid criteria like race, gender, political leaning, and unclear thinking of considerate experience. Questions thrive. How will the President "diversify" the bench? Will he advocate a member of a racial minority? Will he propose a woman? Will he nominate someone from a only one of its kind religious background? Senator Arlen Specter told NBC News that he hopes the President will "choose someone with diversity." "Women are underrepresented on the court," he declared. "We don't have an Hispanic. African-Americans are underrepresented." There is strong pressure on the President to please this "diversity quota," regardless of whether a nominee is the most capable for the post. A new factor has also been introduced into the debate of President Obama's forthcoming nomination: empathy. Mr. Obama stated that he plans to nominate a candidate who possesses "empathy and understanding" and "who understands that justice isn't about some abstract legal theory or footnote in a case book. It is also about how our laws affect the daily realities of people's lives." This somewhat unclear quotation is explained by President Obama's prior speech to a Planned Parenthood conference in 2007, in which he said, "We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom [That's code for "My nominee will support abortion on demand."]; the sympathy to understand what it's like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that's the criteria by which I'm going to be selecting my judges." Wrong way Obama, this is not the way to appoint someone to the highest court in this land. But of course has he did anything right yet? The criteria recognized by Obama supply a poor basis on which to support the recommendation of a Supreme Court Justice. Race, gender, and religious background should not decide a person's credentials to sit on the bench of the highest court in the land. Emphasizing this criteria will only bring about the racism, sexism, and religious discrimination he supposedly cries out against. Putting race, gender, and religious background into the judicial choice amounts to little more than "pandering" to voter groups. It is who will apply the rule of law correctly and without caving in to special interest groups. Janet Murguia, President of La Raza (a Hispanic-American liberal interest group), says as much: "There are high expectations because of the turnout we saw in the Latino community. I think [picking a Hispanic] would go a long way to helping the Latino community feel they were recognized in terms of that support." Supreme Court Justices ought not to be used as bargaining chip to buy the votes of special interest groups. The proper criteria for choosing a Supreme Court Justice are largely ignored by most people and that includes Obama. The supreme court is to apply the rule of law not their ideas of what would be best. That rule of law applies to all people not just a certain group that will turn it into what they want. The first thing that should be looked at is the character. I hope it better than some of the other people he has appointed to high offices in this land. You know the ones that say do as I say, not as I do. The ones who think they are above paying taxes. Do they have a history of honesty and integrity? Can they be bought? Can they resist a bribe or attempts by people to exert undue influence? Do they want the endorsement of the crowd? Can they handle disapproval by the media? Will their head be turned because they do not want their personality wounded by ridicule? Are they strong in themselves or do they need to be supported by others? Do they have the strength of character to put second their own beliefs or desires for a particular outcome for the one required by the rule of law? Can they be evenhanded to the issues that come before them? Can they say "yes" to the poor and "no" to the rich if the rule of law requires it? On the other hand, can they say "no" to the poor and "yes" to the rich when the rule of law demands it? These are all things that Obama should look for in a Judge. Will he do this? Picking a justice to serve on the Supreme Court is a important task. So is the decision by the Senate to verify or refuse the choice. Politics should be set aside and a careful study of the nominee's fitness to serve should be carried out using the right motives and making sure that whoever gets the job goes by the rule of law. Americans will live with the cost of the decisions my Obama and the senate for a lot of years to come. We can only hope that the President and the Senate will have the right ideas and motives when they start this process of picking the next Supreme Court Justice. But we all know this will not be the case. The new judge will be one who will go along with and back Obama’s socialist game plan. I hope that I’m wrong but I don’t think I am. I believe that there will be a supreme court judge that will not only go along with The Obama Agenda but will rule on the side of pro abortion, on the side of homosexuals, and think little of the rule of law. Only time can tell if I’m right but I think already I know the answer. I’m sure that some of our open minded and freethinking liberal friends will be to small-minded to think along these terms.

Even before 911 we had terrorist that tried to do the United States harm and sometimes did us harm. For instants the first attack on the world trade center, the marine barracks in Lebanon, the US Cole. In each instance we had people who were trying to kill Americans and in some of the cases there was a great loss of life. I can remember seeing the blood stained and bloody victims on TV, also the awful damaged those attacks caused. It will forever be on my mine and so will the attacks against the world trade center were over two thousand people lost there life in one day. There was also the Pentagon, and the field in Pennsylvania were scores of people lost there lives. Do not forget about the husbands, wives, and children who will never see their loved ones again. This all happened in our country! Since then we have seen people beheaded, killed by roadside bombs, and kidnapped. and slaughtered for no reason by people who have a crazy religion that wants to rule the world and will do what ever it takes to do just that. We had a president in the past who was to busy in the oval office doing his thing and had the chance to get rid of the main person behind the 911 attack and other attacks and he did not take advantage of the chance. Like I said he was busy with personal matters in the oval office. When he did strike back at the terrorist what did he do? He sent a few missiles over and destroyed a aspirin factory. We don't we hear more of this? The very thought of this government trying to prosecute officials in the past administration is somehow not right. It smells of politics. We had a president that kept us safe for eight years. There were no more attacks on American soil, no more American Civilians killed and we were all, republicans, democrats, independents, liberals, and conservatives alike safe in our homes and on the streets of this nation. We had a president that stood firm and unwavering against the threats. He would not compromise the values of this great nation. We need to thank him and his administration for that. As a independent I did not agree with every thing Bush did especially about the border problem, but he was right on about the terrorist problem and for that he gets no thanks by a lot of people. He cared the fight to them instead of them bringing the battle here. He made us safe America, but how much longer will we be safe under this current administration? The very policies that were put into place by him to check and stop the terrorist are now being dismantled by our new leader. We now have a leader that not only bows and just about kisses the feet of our enemies, but wants to negotiate with them. You do not and can not negotiate with people who will not compromise and it is their way or no way at all. President Bush knew that. You do not have to fall off a turnip truck to see that these people want to convert the world to Islam and with them there is no compromise or meeting someone half way. But Obama is still riding that turnip truck and wants to use his charm on them which really does no good and they are laughing at him. He might have been a good community organizer but president he is not! The presidency is out of his league. He is a lost ball in high grass. We have a administration that has tied the hands of the CIA so it is much harder for them to obtain any kind of information from the terrorist of any value. They are calling things such as water boarding, putting bugs in a small room with the terrorist, keeping the terrorist from sleeping, torture. They are wrong. There was nothing done to hurt or endanger the lives of anyone. The was also a doctor right there the whole time. No body had their finger nails pulled out, leg or arms broke, eye put out, or cut or mutilated in any way or were they starved. Yet information was got from them that stopped attacks on American soil were people would have been killed. Why will not people use some sense and think. all this has done is to en bold the enemy to do even more to try to destroy this nation. It has also weaken the CIA from doing their jobs because they will be scared that they will not have any backing by our leader. In times such as theses we need a strong leader who will not bow or kiss the *&# ( well I had better say the ring so I will not get flagged) of the enemy. The base that held the prisoners at Guantanamo is being shut down by our new president and some of the prisoners that were held there are already back on the front lines fighting our soldiers again. I will guarantee that the others are plotting right now to do damage to this country. What are the rest of them going to do when they get out? The same thing. KILL AMERICAN SOLDIERS THATS WHAT! what a disgrace to our nation to have this done. A blind man can see why this is being done. It is not for any rights of the terrorist or compassion on them. No sir, it is being done to pacify the Bush haters at the expense of our very freedom and way of life. I say enough is enough, We are in a war that must be won at all cost for us to remain a free nation. It is time to stop the politics and be Americans, all of us with a common goal, to beat the enemy of our nation and once again say we live in the land of the home of the free and the brave. Let these terrorist know that we do no live in a land that says: We're sorry, so sorry, please except our apology, we are so arrogant, and we have made mistakes. Please forgive us. This is what is happening today by our new (it is time for a change, yes we can) president. We are headed down the road for disaster and Obama is the pied piper who is leading us. In closing I want to say this because I know that there are going to be some comments against what i have said. Let us put aside being to the left or being to the right. Let us put up being democrat or republican. Let us all be united as Americans to meet this threat that is before us and have a common goal, VICTORY OVER OUR ENEMIES! Let us come together and say victory is ours and we will not be defeated because we stand together as a united people with one purpose in mind and that is to be free.

Are you fed up with a Congress and a president that: Voted for a $500 billion tax bill without even reading it? Who would every think that anybody that was elected to represent the people in congress would do such a thing.Well it is kind of easy when it is not their money that they are spending. Is spending trillions of borrowed dollars, That we the American Tax Payer will have to struggle to pay and then it is so huge that it will be leaving a leaving a debt our great-grandchildren and their children will have to repay. What kind of government is this? Continually give special interest groups billions of dollars in earmarks to help get themselves re-elected? This is not helping the tax payer. Special interest groups have only their agenda and not what is best for the American People nor is it for all the American people. Want to take your wealth and redistribute it to others? This is insanity to have elected officials that would want to do this. This is socialism and has never worked. The proper name for this is communism and it is happening in our beloved country by elected officials who have their agenda in mind and not the best interest for the American Public. Punish those who practice responsible financial behavior and reward those who do not? We are giving away millions of tax payer dollars to bail out companies and banks that need to bail their own self out or declare bankruptcy. Who will bail out the tax payer? It will never be done by spreading the wealth around. Are using the financial hurt of millions of Americans as an opportunity to push their political agenda and the agenda of special interest groups that will in no way help the American public as a whole.Is running up trillions of dollars of debt and then sell that debt to countries such as China? It is bad enough that most of the goods sold in this country come from China but now the Chinese are holding a mortgage to our country through all the loans they have given us that sooner or later they are going to recall. Want government controlled health care? This is the same as telling us when and where we can go to a doctor, what kind of treatment we can have and for how long. Do we need this from people who are not even in the medical profession? Want to take away the right to vote with a secret ballot in union elections? If this is done we will have even more rights taken away. what this is being done for is to put you on display before everybody and to intimidate you. Refuse to stop the flow of millions of illegal immigrants into our country? This in its self is a major problem that should be dealt with. Our borders are being over flowed with illegals that are taking our jobs away from us, tapping out our welfare system to the max and causing a increase in our jail system. Appoint a defender of child pornography to the Number 2 position in the Justice Department? In other words we have no defender at all against child pornography. just what is this man defended us against? He is for gun control, and controling every part of your life. This all starts with gun control. Want to force doctors and other medical workers to perform abortions against their will? This goes against the very core beliefs that this country was founded on. Can we still be a Republic that has the right to the rule of law or have we turned into a communist state that allows no expression of freedom? Want to impose a carbon tax on your electricity, gas and home heating fuels? How ridiculous is that? We are already paying outrageous prices for utilities now and with this new tax there will be even more of a burden. Want to reduce your tax deductible for charitable gifts?Take money from your family budget to pay for their federal budget which in no way for the most part does not help the average tax payer.That they want to take away your right to keep and bear arms. Something that was guaranteed by the second amendment. When that right is taken away then you will not have no rights. If you are fed up with the things listed above (like I am) and the many other issues that are not being handled right by our congress and president them call them and let them know that you have a voice and you will be heard! Use your phone and call Congress and the President . (Representative and Senators, 202-224-3121; President, 202-456-1414). Tell Every American about these phone numbers and get them to call and then forward to their friends. Together let us make a difference before it is to late. Our nation is being taken from us and we are being duped by the most liberal government ever. Wake up America before it is to late.

We heard all through the elections the same words over and over. CHANGE and YES WE CAN! The voters decided for change and now we are going to get that change, but is it the kind of change Americans want? Is it the kind of changes that we need? Well for some Americans it is certainly the change that they wanted, but I'm afraid not the kind of change needed by the American people. We now have a president and elected leaders (lets add them into the mix) that are beginning to take over this country. At the rate this country is going there will not be anymore elections because the government will control everything . This nation has already gone from a Republic {Being governed by the rule of law as set down in the constitution by our founding fathers} to a Democracy. {Being governed by the majority} How soon will it be before we will go to a oligarchy? {Being controlled by a limited few people that run the country} The way things are going in this country right now it will not take long. Below this commentary is a link to a very informative video that desires to be watched by all Americans and then you decide where this country is headed. In just one hundred days of this new administration the government now controls the banks,automobile manufactures, most all big corporations, and soon the health industry. Soon every part of your life will be controlled by the government. We will no longer be free as we know it today, but we will be living in a socialist state. That is the political correct words for living in a communist state. When we have a leader who, as he said, wants to spread the wealth around, that should have sent alarm bells off. But for some of the people that is what they wanted to hear. How fast the democrat party has turned aside from the views of our founding fathers and from the views of John F. Kennedy who most democrats {as well has most Americans} hold in high regard. I was young then but I can still remember his words very clearly: ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU, BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY." What happen to this side of the Democrat Party, which by the way, at that time, was Ronald Regan's Party also. The government in this country now does not represent "WE THE PEOPLE" anymore. They represent special interest groups, and what is the best for them. It is money that wins elections these days not votes.

Today's generation does not have a clue on how to survive. If the chicken does not come from Kentucky Fried Chicken or Popeye's then they are lost. If McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Hardy's, and all the other burger joints would close most people would not know what to do. If they could not go to the store and buy a loaf of bread they would not know what to do. If their socks or pants had a hole or tear in them and there was no Wal-Mart or money to buy new, most people would not know what to do. We live in a throw away society. That goes from the rich to the poor of this country. Most people today do not have skills that saw the people in the great depression through some rough times.

I believe this is because that some people believe that society and this government owe them something. When the mass of low income people and the load of other people, that believe this government owes them something and are entitled for the government to provide for them, see that the governments money is gone, then look out. It will be chaos in the streets. just look what happened a few months ago when the price of gas soared. Stealing was rampant. People were stealing metal, copper wiring out of new buildings, and copper off electric poles. There is a greater chaos coming when the free loaders come unglued when the government has no more money to hand out. 

This is not an article to scare people. it is an article that is stating facts for people to realize the   chaos that could be coming to this country. There are some of you reading this that will say that the writer is off his rocker, he is a nut. I believe that in the end I will not be the nut that some will say I am. In the end there will be two kinds of people. One type will be the ones who do not have a clue as to what is going on and the other type is ready because, like me, they see the chaos coming. Millions of Americans will find out that they are on their own because the government can no longer help them. They will also see how the government will respond to the chaos and it will not be like they want. 

Again the majority of the people in this country will not agree with me because they see Obama as the messiah coming to the rescue them along with other democrats and a few rubber leg republicans that have not got a clue. They will think that the government is going to take care of them. What I want to know who is going to take care of the government? You can drink that kool aid but not me! 

Patrick Henry’s speech {in part} to the Virginia Revolutionary Convention St. John's Church, Richmond, Virginia March 23rd, 1775

 No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The questing before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."

These words  were spoken a long time ago by one of our founding fathers, Patrick Henry. He has some good point to look at in the opening of his speech that all Americans need to think about and apply to our thoughts today. We are living in the same country as he was years ago and just as the citizens in that time period we fighting to keep their freedoms so are most Americans today. As Patrick Henry saw the issues in a different light than some others did so do most conservatives today see the things in a different light than the liberals do.

The silent majority of Americans, like Patrick Henry, consider some of the laws that are passed today or laws that are in the process of being passed as being a question of our freedom as Americans and they should be debated with much wisdom. Because as it was then it is the same now! It is a question of freedom or slavery. One of the meanings of the word slavery is; {submission to a dominating influence} We as Americans today are being dominated by several laws that put Americans under a dominating influence and that dominating influence is our government leaders! When your rights are slowly taken away from you by leaders who want more control over you, you are gradually becoming slaves to that government and no longer a free society. You may think that I have gone off the deep end, but stop and think about things that you could do ten or twenty years ago that you can not do now. It is amazing and the most amazing thing to me is that the government has the kind of mentality  that if it walks or talks tax it.

We have came from a nation of laws known as the constitution to a nation that has so many laws that they govern the very foot steps that the citizen takes. Is this what our founding fathers wanted. I hardly think so. They were free men, free to do what they wanted as long as it did not hurt or endanger any one else. They made laws to punish the criminals not the law abiding citizen. They {the government} worked for the people and for their best interest, but now it is just the opposite. The people work for the government.

As Patrick Henry said we must arrive at the truth and fulfill the responsibility that our creator and this country demands of us. He was right when he spoke these words and he is right for our time period. We as Conservatives  Americans can not hold back our opinions for the fear of not being politically correct. We can not no longer be called the silent majority but  the out spoken American majority. We have to hold to the truths that our founding fathers established those many years ago.

One of those great truths is this; We must seek guidance from our creator, as our leader in years gone by did, if we are to be the winners in this great struggle for our freedoms that is granted to us in the constitution of these United States. The founding fathers knew where their help came from and it is time that our present day leaders realize it also.

The Democrat Way: I guess my age is creeping up on me or else I see several things in the different light than other people than some do today. I'm 63 years old. I’m also a independent voter and the changes made to this country through my life time are so unbelievable. Responsibility in America has just gone done the tube with the election of our new president. His new area of responsibility is so flawed. The people in this country already had a head start on no responsibility. All the entitlement and welfare programs given out over the past in this country is not only appalling but shameful. Years ago we had smaller government and we were much more prosperous as a nation. Some of you might not agree with the following but if you stop for a minute and really think about what I'm saying, especially if you are near my age you will see that I'm not that far out to the right with this article.

There are a lot of big issues that concern me but in this article I want to talk about several small issues and if you want to call me cry baby that is okay, because I do cry and pray for this nation of ours and also have a deep sadness in my heart seeing the direction we are being taking in. This country, under the leadership of our new president, will soon see massive welfare programs  and large tax hikes like we never have seen in the history of this country.

Our welfare programs are already to the point that they are draining this country and I would say that about half or more of this is not needed if the people would only work. If you don’t work you do not eat! The freebies are over. That is the way it should be. Sure there are people in this country that do need help and they should get it. But what about the others? The people who use the system. Can you imagine the amount of money that this country could say by just quitting the welfare system as we know it. This, in my opinion is one of the things that is draining our economy.

Let me give you some examples: How many times have you been in a food store and the person ahead of you in the check out line pays for their two or three hundred dollars of food with food stamps and then pulls out a large amount of money {real green backs} and pays for the non food items? Then drive off in a automobile that you wish someday that you could own. If you have not you need to spend some time watching when you go to the food store.  Now when you times this by hundreds of thousands of people you have a big lose of revenue. This has been going on for years and now with the Obama plan we are in for even worse. When he starts spreading the money of hard working people around there will be more people to take advantage of receiving it than the people who are making it. Do we as Americans call this being responsible?

Not when I was growing up you did not. It was the church who provided for the people that needed help until the people got back on their feet. Why would anybody want to get back on their feet with all the government give aways. It is much easier to be lazy than to work. Our present welfare system created by the democrats proves that. Why do you think the Mexicans are getting so many of the jobs in our country today? It is because they are not lazy. It is because they will WORK. Why should anybody do it when our government gives them more money for staying home and doing nothing?  Stop the welfare and people would have to go to work and then the illegal problem would start to go away.

I’m not saying for the government to stop helping the people that truly need help, just the tens of thousands who are using a system that was created and  really meant for the good. The bottom line for me is the federal government should stop the free hand outs to people that can work and help their self. I do not knowhow many times  I have been on the street and heard this: “Man I can make more money on welfare than working there!”  The big problem with all this is the government is enabling them to do just that. I call them the people who would not work in a pie shop tasting pies. To have a “GREAT SOCIETY” people must work. Is that a bad word?

We also have a double sided coin which on one side of the coin is called abortion. This country allows abortions on demand by destroying the fetus in the womb, and the government is funding these abortions. We have the same government handing out condoms and birth control pills for our very youngest children. If we had a government that would not hand out theses things  and teach abstinence maybe the government funding of abortions would stop because unwanted pregnancies would stop.  There again i think some of you will call me crazy for saying this. But it is true. Stop and think about it. We need a society that will teach and promote the right thing.

On the other side of the coin we have a government that pays women to have babies after babies with now father in the house to help support the product of his one night stand. These precious kids will be kept by the government until they are adults and then for some of them it will be forever because they are now taking advantage of the system just like their parent or parents. Their housing, their food, their medical bills, and their very way of living will be supplied by the government. I ask you is this called having responsibility? I don't think so! But once again with our new president and his democrat congress that new area of responsibility, that he proposes, will even be worse! Just think of the millions of tax dollars we could save just on this issue alone. The tax payer is paying for this now and we are struggling.Who will pay for all this new area of responsibility that Obama is calling for? Now Obama was not the president when this started but he could stop it, but he is already making it worse. It is Obama’s new area of responsibility. If a person is pregnant with a baby, the responsible thing to do is for the man and women to raise that child. That baby is no throw away.

Then we have the stimulus package that according to our president is the only way to go to get this country out of the mess it is in and get it stable. Really? If you would look at the whole package you will see there is just about as much pork as it is stimulus. There is so much pork for projects that will not stimulate anything.  these projects are not needed and will only make the economy worse. The pork projects is money spent just to satisfy the special interest of some people and to later get their votes. How can that be called a stimulus package for the whole country. Our Great grand kids will still be paying for this one for a long time. I was in the local coffee shop and the old timers were talking and they made a good point. The point was this: reduce the income tax fifty percent and the taxpayer will end the recession their self's. I believe they could be right. Sometimes I think these men have better judgment and more sense than the people that we send to Washington. Is this the kind of responsible men that we need to send to Washington. The people that we have there now is giving our country away and that sure is not showing responsibility. It is sad when you have more confidence in the local coffee shop crew than you do your congressman. When you look at all the facts I believe Ronald Regan was right when he said Government can not solve the problem because they are the problem. I have to say amen to that. Now that would be a new area of responsibility that would be okay with me and most Americans. The problem is we have to many Kool Aid Drinkers in this country that have been drinking to much of the liberal kool aid that do want a change, but not the kind of change most Americans want.

A REAL CHANGE OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS COUNTRY SHOULD INCLUDE:

* A big reduction in our welfare system

* Repealing the abortion law

* Less big government.

* Less taxes for the working person. we are now going to get more taxes from the new administration for all his new ideas that will cause even more hardships.

* Less gun Control over the American citizen and recognize their right to own and bear arms. Stop punishing the Honest law abiding citizen for crimes committed by the lawless.

*More effective laws and prison sentences for people convicted of crimes against the public, especially for the ones that use a hand gun in commission of that crime. Make laws to punish the criminal not the innocent citizen. 

* No federal funding for birth control pills and condoms in our schools. no more teaching kids as young as kindergarten age about sex. Let the parents at home do that

* Allowing God and prayer back in the class rooms. This will do away with the police walking the halls, teachers not getting respect, assaults, drugs, and the other crimes committed in schools.

* Tell the corrupt United Nations to relocate in another country. They are a burden on this country and a do nothing origination of countries that closes their eyes to most things. This country needs to get out. We are the biggest money suppliers of all the other countries. Look at the money this country would save.

* Stop being allies and be an  American first. We also do not need a one world currency as Obama said was coming in the future. my green back dollar is just fine.

* Stop being Politically correct and say it like it is. Do not mind  telling  people and other countries the truth even though it might make them mad. Stand tall and be proud to be an American, not what our first lady said.

* Stop being a good person and start being a free person. A good person will follow their government and do what every they say even it it is wrong, because they are our leaders. A free man will do what it takes to be free and his country to be free. They will let their voices be heard.

*Stop the pork barrel projects. We need to do what is right and honest for all Americans not just a special few. It is what is best for the country as a whole.

* Seal our borders and stop the illegals and the drug trade from coming across.

All this could be done with effectiveness if we only had some leaders in congress with a vision for the future. It does not take a real educated man to see the major problems in this country. It just takes a person who has the sense of what is right and do it.

An article from Conservative View Point

http://fromthisconservativesviewpoint.blogspot.com/

 

 

We are so lucky that we live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. But I wonder the way things are going how much longer we will be free men and women. During my 63 years of life I have seen more and more laws passed and more regulations passed that no mater what you do their is a regulation or law to deal with and less freedom.It seems like we are working for the government instead of government working for us. How simple life was in this country years ago. It was the way our fore fathers wanted it to be. But now this country reminds me of how the Pharisees in Bible times took a few of God’s laws and made mountains more. Some of them being so silly. That is the same way it is in this country today. There are new laws just about everyday. Some politicians are always trying to take away every one of our rights, or most of them, that was a promise and assurance in the constitution framed by our fore fathers in the first ten amendments. The government wants to stop and put a end to your rights to own and use weapons for your own protection. They want to tell you what you can and can't read. They want to control how you spend the money you make.  They want to tell you how to pray {don’t mention the name of Jesus} and when to pray and where you can’t pray.  It seems like every piece of freedom they want to take away, and they are doing it while telling you it's for your own good, or for the good of everybody. Slowly but surely our freedom is eroding right before our eyes and people who want to be politically correct will not say a word.

You don't think it can happen here without at least a world war? Please don't kid yourself. Our nations capitol is packed full with politicians {some Republican and some Democrats} who would love to trade a large part of your freedom and mind for promises to make life a bit easier, safer, or more secure. What's worse, there are a lot of our fellow Americans out there that want that kind of trade, as long as they get to be the ones that benefit. Just make sure it's only the blacks, or the Jews, or the bankers, or the farmers, or the people that like to wear cowboy boots and carry shotguns and rifles in their pickups that get stomped on, and they'll sign up right away for the great crusade. That is a fact even if you who are reading this do not want to say it is truth. Well it is true and down in your heart you know I’m right. We need to wake up to this fact of truth! We are ever so slowly becoming a nation that no longer is free.

If it's not enough that we have to put up with the bull crab from all politicians in our country, from within, we still have  all those other insane people from without, the Communist, Iran, Hamas, The Taliban,  terrorist, and who knows who else from without. They won't even bother with trying it through political means. They're waiting for one slip in our defenses and they'll be only so great full to come on in and take our freedoms away by force. Or maybe, just maybe, the police, or as our new president wants, his own security force,  will come around with a piece of paper in there hand and and tell you how sorry they are while they take your target pistol, your hunting rifles, and your child’s 410 shotgun or 22 rifle. Then what will be next? These are real questions asked to real Americans.

The only reasons for our government and why it was formed was  the protection of the citizens from criminals and  attacks from other countries, and for them to make laws for such things as property ownership, as well as methods to legally settle disputes between citizens, defend the environment, and assure public health and safety. These founding fathers were good decent people who depended on a higher power to help them with the writing of our constitution and to carry out its concepts. In other words they put God in everything they did and said, for our early law makers knew they needed His divine guidance in all the judgments they made. If you read their  biography and writings they will invoke God’s name more than once. What has happen to our Politicians who are in office today? God can not help make any laws and judgments' today because He is not allowed in our government building. He is not wanted. Our politicians saw to that and some of their special interest groups were their backers.

In my humble opinion it is because these politicians in no way are like our founding fathers. In order to ensure their continued employment in the elected office today's politicians have tried to instill in our minds that the majority must always rule. Once the politicians have the idea of majority rule sold, they are now set to get votes by promising all sorts of things to certain groups of people. Of course all those things have to be paid for by taxing or and not giving opportunities to a whole lot of people that get none of the benefit of their promises. We already have and pretty  soon will see even more welfare programs, high taxes, legislation restricting some peoples way of life or the people.

We still have free elections, but are they bought with money from special interest groups. It is the candidate with the most money who wins. We have Laws that are only made by elected officials and they only listen to special interest group and the tax payers are left hanging. There is freedom of the press,  freedom to assemble, freedom of religion, and freedom to petition the government. The problem is that as politicians grant more and more privileges to different groups, we find ourselves increasingly less in control of our own lives and tied up in laws, taxes, and regulations governing everything we do. More and more, decisions are taken away from you and the decisions are made by the government and not by the people. You're told what you can or can not do to the place you own, what you must do to have a business, where you can buy a gun and what you have to show to get it, and and how long you have to wait before you buy it. Every time the politicians pass a law giving some groups special privileges, everybody else is told it is all for the common good, even if you lose some of your rights as a American Citizen. For example we now have a law for hate crimes. That is so not needed. If anybody assaults, maims, hurt or kills a certain group of people it is now a hate crime. That law was made by politicians for no other reason than to get that groups votes. We already have laws to deal with these crimes and it is for all Americans. Why pass a special law because a certain group of people who want it? It is for that groups support and vote. That's okay, my friend, because with most of our politicians, it's majority rule that counts, not freedom, not what is right. The time will finally comes when people are spending so much of their hard earned money, or having it spread around by the government and  on the common good for certain people and welfare programs passed by our politicians that they will have no time or money left to spend for the things they want out of life or the American dream.

And don't kid yourself. It can happen and it is starting to happen in the United States right now. It won't happen if a whole lot of people make it clear that they won't let it happen by their votes on election day, but there is no guarantee of this. Someday {and personally I think it is already here} you will find you can no longer vote with any meaning, you don't dare criticize elected officials anymore, your weapons have been confiscated, and your kids are being taught in the local school how to spy on Mom and Dad, then this you will know that I was right and believe me I’m not far off with what I’m saying. Those of us who now criticism Obama are often called racist. This country and a lot of other free democracies are less than perfect. So, while there is  still time left we must make our voices heard with our votes if we are to change this status quo.

A one hundred percent true democracy is supposed to have free citizens, not good citizens as the government calls people that do what they want when they want. So, the day you wake up and find you don't have all the freedom you deserve, the first thing you have to do is stop being a good citizen and become a free citizen. The fact is you should stop being that good person now, a person that says nothing, and start demanding to be a free man.

If you can't be a free citizen, then you must elect people into office that will guarantee that right framed by our founding fathers in the constitution of these United States. Nazi Germany wasn't filled with people who wanted to throw Jews into bonfires and gas chambers, make slaves of most of the countries in Europe, and  rule the world with a new world order. Nazi Germany was filled with good citizens, because they did what their leaders told them to do. Hitler did everything he could to make all those good citizens think they were better off with him in charge, (HUM) even if they did have to give up a few freedoms. Hitler was more frightened that all those good citizens might stop being good citizens than he was of the Allied armies. He catered to them, he entertained them, he promised them better things. What are our leaders doing right now? The Germans kept being good citizens right up to the bitter end and if we do not get control of our government the same will happen to us. Laugh if you want, but in the end and that is soon, my friend, you will see the light and that I’m right.

In the Sixties, black people in the South just got plain fed up with sitting in the back of the bus, getting chased away from the voting polls, and being turned away from  restaurants and hotels, no matter how much money they had, not being able to drink out of the same water fountain as white people, not being able to use the same rest rooms as white people and many other things. So they started acting like bad citizens as some people would say, but I say they were acting like people who wanted to be free in a free nation and rightly so!. Now a black man can go into any public place he wants. He is truly a free man only because he made the move to be free and his voice was heard. He did not want to be politically correct, he wanted to be a free man.

Our freedoms are under constant attack from one side or another. Take the issue of gun control. The people who praise and highly recommend  this compulsory principle keep telling us that the majority of Americans want some kind of gun control. So what! No majority in a free country has the right to take away the freedoms of any minority. The black people in the sixties proved that by standing up for their freedoms. So if you are a gun owner, a Christian, or any other group of Americans now is is time to stand up and say: “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH I AM A FREE MAN!” That's what freedom is all about, and owning a gun is in the eyes of many Americans  the sign of being free man. Free to protect his self, his family. and the many freedoms of this nation. As long as the people who understand and believe that principle insist on keeping their guns, we are going to be able to keep them. It is when a people do not speak out they lose out and are no longer a free man or live in a free nation. With much thought about the freedoms of this great country of ours I thank you for reading this and even if you do not agree with this writer just maybe it will start you to thinking.

The Recipe for Disaster: There is a new name in Washington for what our congress calls stimulus. It is called PORK. The list of ingredients in the making of this bill can spell disaster. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that the voters of this country do not like what they see so far as to what congress is doing to fix the economy. Only 12 percent said that congress is doing a good job while 54 percent rate their performance as bad. I have to agree with them. It only takes a fairly educated man to see that the congress is not handling the economy very well with their stimulus package. Millions of dollars are going for just plain pork projects that will not help this nation at all and will in the end even hurt us more. There is a question that I must ask. Why put the added expense of extra pork on a bill that is supposed to help out the economy. How is that going to help?

Anybody with any plain sense sees that this plan of congress and our President is not going to help one bit. I believe the people at the local coffee shop could come up with better answers than our congress. In fact I have heard some pretty good ideas from my local coffee shop that most likely would do more good than this pork bill from congress. We must start doing better with whom we elect to public office or we really will see bad times such as we have ever known. What we need to do is let the American people decide their self how we are going to get out of the mess that congress has got us unto instead of letting us get deeper into it. The problem is our elected officials who we send to congress will not listen to the American people's voice. How much longer will we allow congress to put special interest groups, pork for their own agendas, and the many other bill's that do not help this country as a whole. We must stop and think: "Who are we sending to Washington to govern this country?"

Instead of giving all these big companies and corporations all this bail out money, that we all know will not work, congress should be giving a 50 percent tax cut on our income and we would see the economy grow by leaps and bounds. The American people would bail their own self out. But as we know that will never happen. That would be too easy and a lot of congressman would not get their PORK. What the American people are getting is the wrong end of Obama's broom and sad to say we will have years and years to get over the pain.
