Amerika-Love It Or Leave It

Amerika-Love It or Leave It

The rapid pace of change in the United States and our unprecedented access to information and opinion about the changes taking place has prompted many people to ask, “What has happened to the America I knew?” As we enter the second decade of the twenty-first century, there are few left who remember the America that existed before the wholesale embrace of socialism initiated by Franklin Roosevelt. There are some who know who Norman Rockwell was and still dream of that America. More people are beginning to understand the principles upon which this great country was founded and comprehend the distance we have strayed. Most, however, with an attention span abbreviated by the media, a lack of understanding of history and the ability to think deeply reinforced by a woefully inadequate government education system and the complacency engendered by the inherited wealth of our nation, continue to walk around in a stupor, unaware of the destructive path upon which we have embarked. The chains have been added so slowly and with such slick advertising that few are aware of how heavy they have become.

“Lethargy is the forerunner of death to the public liberty”

Thomas Jefferson

Things have changed, however. Our bondage no longer takes place in secret and the speed and arrogant compulsion by which our government is trying to secure the last of our chains has made many finally sit up and take notice. The response has been one of protests, protests that are becoming more organized and widespread. The government leaders trying to lock these last chains in place are doing their best to ignore and discredit the dissidents and convince the remainder that the chains are really for their own good. Who will win? Over the short term, the protesters might. They may win some elections or change a wavering politician’s mind. The long term, however, is in the hands of the government and it is not about to relinquish one scrap of its power. At the end of the Reagan Revolution, government was bigger. Since the Contract With America, it has grown exponentially. What some have finally realized is that both parties want the power that comes with bigger and more intrusive government. One party may blatantly admit it, as Democrat Barny Frank did recently. However, the proof is in their actions, not their words, and the actions of Washington, no mater which party has been in charge, demonstrate their desire to reduce us to servitude.

“As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights. Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties or his possessions.”

James Madison

What if we don’t want to live as slaves? What if we don’t want the government telling us what we can eat, how cold or hot our home is, what car we can drive, where to put our retirement money, how to meet our health needs, how to educate our children....the list could go on. Once upon a time when the “Hate America Crowd” was on the outside looking in, a red-blooded American could say, “America, love it or leave it!” Now that same “hate America crowd” has molded our government and the country into their own Marxist image and they say to us “Amerika, love it or leave it!” What are we to do? We are conflicted because we know and believe in ideals and values we know are, or have been, American ideals and we believe that our government was instituted to reflect those ideals. In our form of government we think that the representatives we send will protect and enhance our values and ensure the continuity of all that has made this country great. In our minds, the government, the land and the ideals are inseparable. It is a fallacy that has led us to accept our descent into servitude with little protest and will prohibit us from mentally considering avenues of self-preservation not sanctioned by the government. We erroneously believe that we can work within our system to bring about major changes and roll back the socialism we have embraced. The system is not ours anymore, it has not been for some time. The system is run by those in power for the perpetuation of that power. Elections are controlled by the two parties and any candidate that wants to rise to the national, and to a large degree, the state, level, have to play the game. Sure, there are a few exceptions, there are a few “Mr. Smiths” in politics but most of them play the game and perpetuate their power. The way money is raised, the way voting districts are drawn, the way the parties use PACs and the ability of incumbents to use media at taxpayer expense all ensure the historical ninety-plus percent reelection rate of even the most dimwitted and outrageous politicians.

“The trade of governing has always been monopolized by the most ignorant and the most rascally individuals of mankind.”

“Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness by positively uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is patron, the last a punisher.”

Thomas Paine

Even if we could elect a few good men and women, most of government is out of their hands anyway. Once upon a time we had a government that had three coequal branches that were all subject to “We the People”. For a time those branches contested for supremacy. Early on it was the executive under President Jackson which could ignore the supreme court and Lincoln’s tyrannical activities during the civil war. In the twentieth century the courts reasserted themselves and for years citizens bemoaned “legislation from the bench”. Now, the power resides in the vast bureaucracy created by the congress and loosely directed from the executive branch. For example, because the congress is not moving quickly enough to pass cap and trade legislation, the Environmental Protection Agency has stated it will implement a similar program with no input form the people’s representatives necessary. If the courts do not believe so called “Net Neutrality” i.e. government control of the Internet, is constitutional, the Federal Communication Commission will declare it a public utility and regulate it anyway. The myriad of government agencies, all of which appear to have eternal life as Reagan said, pump out tens of thousands of pages of rules and regulations we are expected to know and obey on pain of fine or imprisonment. Again, no input from the people’s representatives necessary. We have gone from a government with three equal branches under the direction and authority of “we the people” to a government run from the top down with the executive bureaucracy on top and “we the people” at the bottom. Government no longer exists to serve us-we exist to provide our treasure and toil to the government. It is a situation that has followed a logical and historical progression that has never been reversed. Power, once attained, is never relinquished voluntarily by the government that finds itself with a virtually unlimited ability to impose and control. Historically, there are only three ways such tyranny has come to an end. First, such governments can be destroyed from he outside. Iraq is a recent example. Second, they will collapse under their own weight as the Soviet Union did and we are coming very close to. Or the people will rise up in revolution. This can be violent or non-violent. In India it was primarily non-violent. Our revolution was violent. Both were rebellions against Great Britain and the only difference were the choices Great Britain, not the revolutionaries, made. If the despotic government in power chooses to negotiate, the revolution can proceed along non-violent lines. If, however, the tyrannical power chooses to hold onto its power no matter what and not allow its people even to leave, the people have only two choices. They will submit to being slaves or they will rise up and fight for their freedom using whatever means they have at their disposal.

“Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force. Like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearfulsome master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action”

George Washington

Before any revolution will take hold among the people,however, there needs to be a separation in the minds of the people between the idea of “America” and our current government. America is not our government, America is an idea, it is a set of values and ideals. Most people that live in the United States rarely, if ever, think about what “America” is and what makes it unique among all the nations of the earth. What does it mean to pursue the “American Dream” and how do we define Liberty and Freedom? America was founded on the idea that a national government should interfere in the lives of its citizens at little as possible. “That government governs best that governs least.” Thomas Jefferson. The citizens of America should be free to believe, act, say and become anything they want to as long as those actions do not interfere with the God-given rights of others. Rights; not wishes, desires or sensibilities. Those rights, given to us by God, include the right to life, liberty and the right to pursue that which makes us happy. We have the right to our property and the right to any activity that increases our property that does not infringe on the rights of others to pursue or exercise the same. America embraces the ideals of capitalism and the free market system in which any person can engage in any occupation they choose and they have the right to dispose of the fruits of their labor any way they wish. Americans believe in compassion, we are the most generous people on earth. American civil society is based on Judeo-Christian Biblical principles. The American ideal is one of blind justice in which no man is treated with favoritism. The American vision is one in which there are no distinctions among men based on class, race or religion and a man is free to become anything he desires based on his talent, passion and hard work alone. Americans are entrepreneurial, inventive and have a “can do” spirit and the mentality and wealth those values produced led to most of the inventions that make modern society what it is. Freedom, compassion, justice, liberty, capitalism, inventiveness, virtue and basic morality. These are the historical American ideals, these were the ideals that led to the American Revolution, it was these ideals and values the founders designed our government to protect and enhance. Only to the extent to which our government embraces these values can it be called and “American” government.

“Of liberty I would say, in the whole plentitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law,’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.”

Thomas Jefferson

Consider now the government we have in Washington, and even those at the state and local level. It is a government that takes our property and the more successful we are, the more it takes. It takes this property to feed itself and its army of bureaucrats first and distributes the reminder to other citizens for their support. The creation of this dependent class, a class that has grown to encompass nearly half of the citizenry, has destroyed the values of inventiveness, capitalism, and entrepreneurial spirit that difficult economic situations stimulate. It eliminates their liberty and freedom and discourages their morality and virtue. Our government believes that our rights are derived from its good graces, not from God, on whom it has made war for a century. Our government has, through law, regulation and outright confiscation, sought to destroy capitalism and the free market system, which it has proclaimed a “failure”. It has created protected classes of people within the citizenry that are given special “rights” and privileges. It has forced our compassion through confiscatory taxation. Justice has become more equal for the wealthy, powerful and politically correct than for the rest of us. Governments at all levels have passed laws regulating even the minute of our behavior. Can a government that acts this way be called an “American” government? Is it not time to revisit the injunction contained in the Declaration of Independence regarding our rights and duty concerning governments that fail to secure our rights? Is such talk and action “un-American”?

“I consider the people who constitute a society or nation as the source of all authority in that nation; as free to transact their common concerns by any agents they think proper; to change these agents individually. or the organization of them in form or function whenever they please; that all acts done by these agents under the authority of the nation are the acts of the nation, are obligatory on them...and can in no wise be annulled or affected by any change in the form of government or the persons administering it.”

Thomas Jefferson

If we accept our “right” and “duty” to “alter or abolish” any government that “evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism” what are we to do? One option many have taken is to make their “government footprint” as small as possible. They earn little so they don’t pay to support the tyrannical system or they legally or illegally withhold their income and property. They do their best to exercise their God-given freedom and rights when they can get away with it. They are like Winston in Orwell’s 1984 sitting in a corner writing in his journal where the camera of Big Brother can’t see him. They do their best to fall between the cracks of our totalitarian state; to one degree or another, go underground. Is that any way to live? Perhaps for the short term, it is an option but is a life between the cracks and hoping not to get caught any life at all? It is still a life dictated by the state. By definition, the cracks are there because the state has allowed them or neglected them. That is not freedom.

“Fear is the foundation of most governments”

John Adams

In the past, there have been revolutionaries who have succumbed to terrorism and indiscriminate violence. Such actions are not consistent with the American values previously enumerated, particularly our morality and virtue and a society and nation founded on such violence is no place to live. There are enough nations in the world that have followed this path. However, we have been conditioned to believe that the use of violence in defense of freedom is never justified. We have made heroes and gods out of Gandhi and Dr. King to the point where non-violent protest is the only acceptable form of protest. Certainly, violence should be a last resort. As our founders said in the Declaration of Independence, men are disposed to suffer and will suffer a long time. But a point will come when the abuse becomes unbearable. They hoped to avoid war and violence but ultimately government is force and it can choose to exercise that force when it believes it is in its best interest; and self preservation is always in a government’s best interest. Negotiations and patience will only go so far. We are under no obligation to negotiate away our God given rights nor must we sit back and wait while tyrants whittle away at them over time. The opposite is true. It is our duty not only as patriots but as human beings to resist any infringement on our rights whether the tyrants be elected or self appointed.

“When the principle that force is right becomes the principle of the nation itself, they would not permit an honest minister, were accident to bring one to power, to relax their system of lawless piracy.”

“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protest themselves against tyranny in government.”

Thomas Jefferson

We have the right and obligation of resistance to tyranny and it is time we started to exercise that right. Violence, of course, should be the last option on our list but it needs to remain an option. There are other options available right now. There is massive tax protest, defunding the voracious monster that is our government. There is always the remote possibility of actually electing people that will have the courage and integrity to dismantle the beast. There is the refusal to obey unconstitutional and immoral laws dictated by the government like the invasive actions of the census or cooperating with unlawful investigations of our fellows who have been labeled “terrorists” by this administration. Such things require the majority of individuals and businesses to become involved. I sincerely hope that we have time to organize such activities. However, we need to consider what happens when the government takes action against dissident activity. What happens when the EPA shows up at your home with a court order to vacate your property because it has been declared a wetland? Do you leave? How far does your resistance go? What about when the local utility appears on your doorstep to install your government approved thermostat that will remotely regulate your energy use? What if child protective services decides that our religious beliefs or our desire to homeschool our children makes us unfit to raise our them and they want to put them in a more politically correct environment? What do we do when some bureaucrat decides our life is not worth spending health care resources on and we should just take the pain pill and die? At what point do we defend our family, our property and our lives against a totalitarian government? When do you stand proudly in your doorway as a free man against the agents of tyranny with your gun and say “No more!” The time is soon coming when we will be confronted with these situations and we had better be prepared beforehand to make our choice to fight for liberty or meekly allow the government to fasten the remaining chains of our servitude.

The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves in all cases to which they think themselves competent (as in electing their functionaries executive and legislative,and deciding by a jury of themselves in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved), or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press.”

Thomas Jefferson

The time is nearly upon us when our hand will be forced one way or another. Power continues to coalesce in Washington and they are endeavoring to find new and creative ways to impose their will on us. They are also following a path to economic disaster that will bring about an opportunity for unimaginable oppression or the rebirth of freedom. Dark times are coming and the struggle between the forces of tyranny and liberty will come to a head. When everything we know know has been torn down what will be rebuilt? Will we allow the current power brokers to create their Marxist utopia and plunge us into total darkness or will we resist the last desperate efforts of a despotic government and witness the renaissance of the American ideal? Will the sons and daughters of liberty come together and assert their rights loudly and forcefully once again or will we meekly descend into socialist oblivion with only a few isolated voices of protest? It is a choice each individual must make. In ten years will we be living in a despotic nation called “Amerika” or will we be rising from the ashes like the phoenix, lady liberty at the fore to reestablish “America” as the light of freedom to the world it once was.

“The spirit of the times may alter, will alter. Our rulers will become corrupt, our people careless. A single zealot may commence as persecutor, and better men be his victims. It can never be too often repeated that the time for fixing every essential right on a legal basis is while our rulers are honest and ourselves united. From the conclusion of their war for independence, a nation begins going downhill. It will not then be necessary to resort every moment to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves but in the sole faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting to effect a due respect for their rights. The shackles, therefore, which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion of that war will remain on them long, will be made heavier and heavier, till their rights shall revive or expire in a convulsion.”

Thomas Jefferson

Who're You Calling Extreme????

They call us right-wing extremists, we who believe in and uphold the Constitution. I hate to break it to all you "progressives" out there, but America, as it was founded, is the center point from which all right/left labels are added. The Constitution has been the catalyst for creating this grand nation you see around you. Do you think you have the wisdom to change or circumvent this document, as do the progressives and both major parties of congress, and produce a better result? I think not. The tenants for which we stand don't change to grow our base, as the system created by our founding fathers has been proven through the prism of history to be the most
proficient at creating the most wealth and freedom for the most people.


Right of center would be when people try to impose strict religious mandates on others. Yes, our country was founded in Judeo-Christian ethics, which is the foundation for our laws and the "civil society," but it should not be Taliban-like. This is a very difficult subject, as you have to balance morality with the right of individuality.


This being said, I believe abortion is straight-up murder, regardless of religious beliefs. Some of the first cells an embryo develops are beating heart cells. The embryo also has the DNA code of a unique human being and is not simply a part of a woman's body for which she can argue for control. I have listened to a firsthand account of an abortion from a doctor who used to perform them. The words alone turned my stomach! "Pulling til' something gives... holding a six-inch arm... on a bad day (many of those), a small face looking up at me... nightmares..." "Pro-choice," in reality, is a less involving term for pro-abortion. If you support policies that allow for lack of personal responsibility, or as Obama put it, saddled with a mistake for life, then you are directly responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands of babies!! The argument of "I wouldn't kill my baby, but I don't mind if you kill yours," is just as immoral as the crimes people are serving life sentences for.


The subject on gay-rights is much less cut and dry. For people who have a Christian based religion, it is pretty straight forward in the Bible that a man lying with a man is an abomination to God. It does amaze me-- the number of people who support gay rights that claim to be Christians or Catholics. On the other side of that same coin, Jesus gave every person a choice as to what path to follow; right or wrong, so should we stand in the way of these individual's happiness? My personal views are a little conflicting. On one hand I want government to stay out of Americans' lives as every piece of legislation the government writes, whether pro or con anything, takes away freedoms from all Americans. On the other hand I don't view the gay lifestyle as "normal or healthy." I have known and been friends with gay people and they all came from very traumatic childhoods, which tells me homosexuality is a response to environmental conditions rather than a choice or something you're born with. I am against gay marriage simply because I don't want my children to see this as "normal" behavior. I don't think legal unions should be contested, as people that make a lifetime commitment and love each another whether considered normal or not, should get the same insurance benefits, etc., as every other couple. Either way this issue is not a deal breaker for me, as I don't hate on anyone. There are much bigger issues at the present time which risk the very future of our republic; sadly the people that would oppose me on the previous issues would gladly let these happen to win on "social" issues!


The left of center covers a very broad spectrum, not because most Americans support or believe in what the left stands for, rather the left supports any and every group it can to increase it's number of supporters to stay in power.


The progressives support illegal immigration. Why? Quite simply because these immoral politicians can rely on political support from non-citizens. Democrats and R.I.N.O.'s are constantly trying pass legislation to give illegals more voting rights, from no proof of I.D. legislation to complete amnesty. Illegal immigrants can legally vote in some local and state elections, and have been documented to have influenced federal elections by voting illegally.
Leftists also fight to give illegals access to entitlement programs (medicare, medicaid, social security, etc.) that we the taxpayer get stuck holding the bill for. Do I feel bad that illegals are hungry, or don't have adequate housing and health care? Yes-- who wouldn't? The leftists play on your sense of guilt to push their self-serving agenda. The fact is, if you are here illegally, you are a criminal! If, because you commit a crime, you can't feed or otherwise care for yourself or your kids, who's fault is it? First and foremost it's the fault of the immigrant for making the decision to enter this country without going through the proper channels. Second it is the fault of the power hungry politicians for encouraging people to break the law! Is this good for America? That would be an obvious no. Is this good for the career of democrats? Not if I have anything to say about it! Yet again there are too many Americans that are willing to support these corrupt politicians. It would be entirely off base to call me a racist for these comments which are based on common sense and the law. I was raised in San Antonio, TX, and the majority of my friends were Mexican. I love the Mexican culture ( or maybe Tex-Mex) and crave a vacation back to the area.


The leftists, or statists, are also ushering in an era of marxism, fascism, socialism, collectivism, anti-capitalism, anti-free markets under the guise of helping to fix multiple crises either made up by government or caused by government intervention. Bill Clinton removed from the White House security clearance application an affidavit stating that the applicant was not, nor was ever a member of the communist party! Half of Obama's cabinet would not have passed this little test had Clinton not omitted the affidavit. Perhaps not even Obama himself! Imagine, a president without clearance to enter the White House! Obama speaks highly of the redistribution of wealth (taking from the earned and giving to the earned-nots) which is Marxist. He believes big profits are evil and he and his pay czar erroneously seem to think they have the wisdom and the authority to decide when people in the private sector are earning too much. Tim Geithner, Obama's Treasury Secretary, is a tax cheat. Obama's science czar, John Holdren believes in mass sterilization and forced abortions for population control, and is a believer in man-made global warming, even sited as being involved in the climate change e-mail scandal. Holdren also has said that they could use climate change as a vehicle for redistributive policies (anti-capitalist, anti-free markets). Anita Dunn, Obama's White House Communications Director, told a high school class that the philosophers she looks to the most for guidance are Gandhi and Mao, the latter being responsible for the death of 40-70 million Chinese. Obama's manufacturing czar, Ron Bloom, said that "the free market is nonsense. We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun." Yes, there's more. Much more. Obama's Green Jobs Czar,Van Jones, is a self-avowed Communist, was arrested in the L.A. riots, found "mentors" in prison that he wished to emulate, studying Marx, Lenin, and Mao with them, signed a petition agreeing that the Bush administration were the perpetrators of 9/11, etc. Obama himself was involved in communist groups in college and had many radical mentors. This is who Obama is; Marxist, Fascist, if not Socialist, anti-Capitalist, anti-free markets, anti-individual freedom/responsibility.


The liberals also work very hard to propagate the notion that minorities are victims of the system. The left offers handouts and says, "You can't make it on your own. Here, let us take care of you. Rely on us. We'll make the successful pay for the injustices done to you." The lives of these poor saps don't improve by any measurable amount, yet the liberals tear down and punish the producers, which in some sick way makes the poor happy. In doing this the government loots tons of money from the rich, wasting it on anything they can conjure up, while purposely creating a dependency class. They have made government dependency into a constituency! "Give me my extra twelve dollars a month, I'll vote for you." To the true conservative, everyone is an American, regardless of race, sex, or religion. I would say the biggest "agenda" we have is promoting personal freedom/responsibility. If you are an American, you have the freedom to be anything/ do anything you want as long as you take the responsibility for your own life and work hard to get there. I'm not going to sit here and pretend that the discrimination of minorities does not happen, but you can't use that as an excuse to forever stay under the boot of big government. As a white male I have been the victim of reverse discrimination several times over. Was it fair that I was discriminated against? No. I realized what I was up against, worked harder and was more persistent until I succeeded instead of giving up or screaming discrimination. Conservatives believe minorities should not be given special treatment, since they have the same freedom to fail or succeed as do non-minorities. There are plenty of black Americans that drive the best of luxury vehicles, and live in the nicest houses, so you can't tell me it can't be done. Liberals promote racial tension through the focusing on race and the plights they create by producing the "entitlement class". Minorities don't want to be treated differently because of their skin color, yet liberals create legislation that treats people differently based on what? That's right-- skin color, sexuality, or whatever group they can leverage for political support. The most frustrating part is that because we conservatives believe all Americans should be treated equally, and are opposed to affirmative action and hyphenated anything-American, we are considered racist. We are all Americans!!!


Progressives also love to trash the Bill of Rights. The Constitution is the law! When the Constitution says that we have the right to bare arms, that's exactly what it means. No interpretation necessary, no reasons (hunting, etc....) necessary. The right to free speech is also guaranteed in the Constitution. Like the ghosts of the former U.S.S.R., the progressives are trying to silence any opposition to their Marxist agendas. The first recent attempt on the life of free speech was the "fairness doctrine". It was said that conservatives' majority market share in talk radio was not "fair" to the progressives. Out of all network news companies, there is only one conservative based channel, Fox News. The rest might as well be run by the Obama administration. On the radio, NPR has a more than one hundred percent market placement, being on multiple stations simultaneously in both the A.M. and F.M. bands. This station is as leftist as it gets, and my tax dollars are unfortunately supporting them! Now they have a Diversity Czar in the FCC, that plans to take from private radio companies and give to minority owned stations to make it "fair", and has the unconstitutional authority to do this through fees and regulation. This attack has been orchestrated by congressional leaders as well as the President of the United States! These people gave an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution !!!!! Why are they not in prison??!!!!!


The four most economically failed states in the country are run by whom? Liberals. California, New Jersey, New York, and Michigan all have high unemployment, high deficits, and major budget shortages. The cause? Taxing the rich and businesses to pay for the entitlement class and other liberal agendas has caused an exodus of "producers" from these states. This in turn causes a major drop in government revenues since they rely on such large portions of these people's earnings. This in turn causes the liberals to do the only thing they know to grow revenue- raise taxes. The vicious cycle continues. Liberalism has been proven to not be viable, as the only reason these states are still afloat is because of the funds the federal government loots from productive, responsible states, which get funneled to these failed liberal entities. I could sit and write about the failings and disingenuous, immoral antics of the liberals until the server melts, but the fact is these "progressives" are so far to the left, that the idea of the individual being free to succeed or fail according to their willingness or lack thereof to take responsibility for their own decisions and actions, "appear" to be so far to the right that they have erroneously lost sight of it.


Liberals support all this... and call us extremists?

Conservative Conference Call !!!

The Senate Conservatives Fund , headed by U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), is holding a Senate election strategy call on Nov. 3. Anyone can register and join in. We actually have a Republican taking the message and running with it. Let's give him some support!

The Oath

Obama gave an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution. Has he violated this oath? One of his constant proclamations is that he wants to fundamentally change America. Now, what are the fundamentals of America? Umm.. maybe the Constitution? Freedom? Free markets? Checks and balances? With Obama's policies, and Revolutionary, radical Czars, it's quite obvious he is trying to bypass and ignore the Constitution to usher in some form of Marxism. I believe Obama, as well as his cohorts in congress, should not only be impeached, but jailed for treason. People may say I'm wrong to ostracize others for having a different point of view, after all.... it is a free country, but the very nature of Marxism crushes individual freedom, which is the solid foundation from which the Constitution has produced the greatest nation on this planet. Therefore, if Obama is, indeed, pushing us toward Marxism, he not only has broken his oath, but proves himself an enemy of the Constitution and in turn, the Republic itself!

Conservative Blog Central

This is a great site I've joined that will help get your conservative blog noticed, because your voice needs to be heard! If you don't have a blog, C.B.C. has a wealth of information from a wide variety of sources for research or inspiration.

Stimulus Failure

Hmmmm.....Let's see...We've been losing roughly 500,000 jobs per month. The government spent well over a trillion dollars (after adding the interest)of our money to save 2.5 million jobs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a trillion dollars that we don't have, spent to save 5 months worth of jobs sounds like a very bad investment. That is if he wasn't being wildly optimistic on his estimate of jobs saved. Also note that I work for a company that is a supplier for the concrete industry. With a 95% market share in the U.S., all of these "shovel ready" projects should have us running our tails off. Our busy season is ending months early and we are struggling to earn a paycheck. We just need the government to get out of the way!

This was posted on the Facebook group We the People are Coming.

Non-partisan group of US citizens committed to voting out all politicians who fail to uphold the Constitution and represent the will of the American people.The Following Letter was written by Janet Contreras from Arizona. Please give it a read and pass along to your friends.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 hewill 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.

On Marxism and Spreading the Wealth

The Constitution of The United States has been the catalyst for making this country the strongest, wealthiest, most innovative and generous of the modern world. Obama has said that it is unfortunate that the Constitution restricts his ability for "redistributive" policies. He also said that he looks at the Constitution as a "negative bill of rights" for the government. The Constitution does not grant us rights; rather, it protects our natural rights as human beings from a large, over-powerful government. Our country has become the wealthiest nation on earth by millions of individuals using this freedom afforded them by the Constitution to pursue, through self-interest,
their dreams of a good life by working hard, being responsible for their own lives, and using the fruits of their labor to better the lives of their families. These hard working individuals have a long history of being generous through charitable giving. Liberals are goodhearted people, but the problem is that they tend to be generous through big government "stealing" every American's labors to give to the "needy". The first problem with this is it makes the government stronger. Every piece of legislation passed is that much less freedom we have. The second issue is that in no way does the government know how to spend my money better than I do, usually wasting it on unnecessary programs (Cash for Clunkers, anyone?). I can't afford a new car, so why should my money be used to buy other people cars? "Free health care-" LOL. I didn't do well in school, got married and had kids before starting a career, both my choice, my responsibility . I have a brother-in-law, who has worked his tail off his whole life, going through many years of education, many years of mountainous debt and hardship. Now he is a very well known and well off plastic surgeon with a family. Now answer this. If my family needs medical care, do I have a right to his property, or the part of his life he spent to earn that property, or does he have the right to benefit from the fruits of his labor? Liberals look at him as the "evil rich" and want to tax him to death to pay for their lack of personal responsibility and life choices they have made. This is a Marxist attitude. Obama has it and the sheeple who have been taught that they are victims of the system (capitalism), and only the government can save them, have it too.

Isn't it funny?

Moammar Gadhafi at the U.N. said that if Obama were president forever, he would be very happy. Hugo Chavez and Castro had a laugh saying that they had to be careful or they would end up to the right of Obama. Why is it that these tyrannical "leaders" love Obama? Is it because they see themselves in him? Do they think Obama will champion their cause? At the U.N., Obama never spoke of the greatness of America, only that we are no better than the rest of the world. We scoff at the idea that we could become like Venezuela, Cuba or any socialistic dictatorship, but I believe Obama has this vision for not just America but for the World community. Obama has expressed willingness to speak of a world currency, dropping the dollar that he so conveniently devalued by spending and borrowing us into oblivion. He has surrounded himself with communists, socialists and the like his whole life as well as bringing them into the White House. It isn't funny that he and these tyrants have so much in common. What is funny is how many Americans go along with and even vehemently support this man and his ideology.
