Thanks Vets!
As a proud USAF vet,I think we need to honor the sacrifices of veterans throughout the history of our great country in 2 ways.Just say thanks to one today for one.2nd,we must take on those making policy today that would undermine our liberty that so many gave their lives for.Unthinkable that so many would throw it away so easily,but it's a sad reality.More to come...

Nationwide sit down strike by taxpayers!
Sound a little radical?Perhaps,but desperate times call for desperate measures,right?It's laid out quite nicely in the Declaration of Independence that not only is it our right,but our duty to throw off such government when the abuses get out of hand.
Only a small minority would make the claim that government is not out of control.Yet,most will simply complain about it and still take it.It's different than healthcare.Everyone agrees that reform is needed and wants it to happen.Vast differences,of course,are in the details.
The tea parties were a nice starter.That may evolve into a 3rd party.We've been down this road before and I see no reason why the results would be much different.A nice twist and certainly it keeps things more interesting,but the 2 major parties will still control.At least for years to come.
We really need events of this magnitude.They needn't be violent.But they must be drastic in scale so they cannot be marginalized.Government officials have never had,in our lifetime,a cold water splash to the face to check their arrogance.
This would have effects felt globally immediately and you would see fantastically quick action.It would only need to be short-term and mostly symbolic in nature,but I guarantee you wouldn't be ignored.More to come...

A dark day for liberty
We still must wait for the formalities of the Senate version,then the compromise final bill,and finally the rubber stamp from Obama.All are guaranteed,we just don't know the specifics or dates yet.It is assured that this era will go down in history as one of the final nails in the coffin of liberty as the healthcare bill passes.
I'm in my 40's and I've always been a little detached reading the history books about epic events in the history of America.The revolution,the civil war,slavery,the industrial revolution,the great depression,the world wars.These events are compelling,fascinating reading about how we came to be where we are today.
Now,our generation will have contributed to the volume on social entitlement programs that exchange freedom for dependency on government.We already have the failures of social security and medicare/medicaid to draw upon,yet the progressives have mastered the magic formula for when to strike upon the fears and weaknessess of everyday Americans to steal away another slice of liberty.
Always under the guise of compassion and enacted in times of duress,these sinister programs are permanent now and those that are victim to them don't have an alternative any longer.Even if they realize one day what has happened to them and their freedom,it's too late in the game to change it.
It's rather ironic that we are already setting the stage for the next phase.It may be decades again,or not,but the massive costs and huge amounts of fraud and corruption are assured with healthcare and will be used as justification for some other takeover of a portion of our liberty just as we hear of medicare today.
These events were sealed in fate on election day last year.It was predicted by many just as the future power grabs will be.Human nature certainly isn't too hard to predict particularly when power and greed and the corruption of the human soul is involved.
Unfortunately,these shortcomings must be too much for us to overcome.Every great society has imploded eventually despite having history as a guide and apparently we will be no different.These societies have all had naysayers and prophets to warn of these events to no avail.Is it possible to reverse course?I certainly have no answer,only hope that real change will occur.More to come...

Stop the insanity!
Where is Susan Powter when you need her?Unprecedented levels of debt.Double digit unemployment.Michigan has lost half a million citizens since Granholm took office.Those were mostly skilled and educated workers.Companies are slashing their research and development budgets.Two-thirds of Americans were either unemployed or had their wages cut in the past year.Education funding is being slashed.Manufacturing continues to move overseas.Nearly 4 million jobs lost since Obama was sworn in.
Yet where are our priorities?Global warming in which we would have to have zero fossil fuel emissions for 31 years straight to reduce the global temperature 1 degree.The agreement being considered in Copenhagen has a 2% of GDP fine for polluting nations to pay annually.A mere $280 billion for the US.GITMO.Healthcare in which we wouldn't see benefits for years as the tax money must be collected first and we would still have millions uninsured anyway.Amnesty for illegal aliens-coming next year.
Everthing isn't dire requiring a bailout and the Government to save us.Did you hear about CIT going bankrupt?Who is CIT,you may ask?Only the nations leading lender to small business.We threw $2.3 billion down the toilet in bailout funds to them and they went bankrupt anyway.Sounds like GM and Chrysler.Now CIT is simply reorganizing under bankruptcy and life goes on.
How much more before someone actually addresses the economy?Not the stimulus jobs saved garbage being spewed out,actual incentives for business.Unfortunately,business investors know there are massive tax increases coming along with high interest rates.Guaranteed to kill growth and keep unemployment high.These business people hold the key to turning around the economy and they see thru the spin that comes out of the White House.The fact is,it's been easy to fool the public.I actually heard a 'hope and change' believer on CNBC say today that he's glad we finally hit 10% unemployment just to get it over with so it would turn around.Huh?As if gravity will now kick in to bring it back down to earth.With foolish analysis such as that,it's no wonder where were headed.More to come...

Civic duty calls
I think the time has come to fly our flags at half staff daily until Obama has been shown the door.The assault on our liberty has never been greater for most of us.
It's really been a stretch on the jobs saved claims,even by Obama standards.There are seemingly endless accounts of ridiculous claims such as cost of living adjustments counting as jobs saved.I have to wonder if the WH was subtracting jobs saved for each American who had their hours cut or wages reduced.Somehow I doubt that.
So now we have the "consumer option" replacing the "government option".Very fitting along the lines of "climate change" replacing "global warming".I think it's time to rename "nuclear power" as "green power".Why not?If that's all it takes to pacify a liberal...
Any doubts left about AARP now that they have jumped on the Obama healthcare bandwagon?If you wondered if the seniors were main priority,now you know for sure that's just for show.
I still marvel at how many buy into the Obama job saved claims.Teachers,firefighters,policeman,etc. all have had jobs saved.All absolutely necessary jobs for sure,but why can't anyone ask where the funding comes from for their paychecks?Private citizens tax revenue maybe?Why not save these private sector jobs,Obama?
I leave you with this quote from the Declaration of Independence.
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."I think it's time for the citizens of this country to realize the responsibility they carry in exchange for the freedom afforded by our Constitution.Many acknowledge it is their civic duty to vote and do so faithfully.We must also take this step to stop the despot before he destroys our liberty permanently.More to come...

Predictability 101
Just a casual evening at the White House.Obama spending some time helping the kids with their homework and then maybe relaxing with his wife watching a movie.No time whatsoever for watching election returns.Yeah,right.
Gibbs is in full damage control mode trying to downplay todays election results as just an insignificant blip.Strange that the President has made time to personally campaign for these people,particularly with so much on his plate-Nobel peace prize,cap and tax,health care,2 wars,unemployment,etc.
One would think he would at least take a casual interest in the results after having invested so much time and effort.Can't the spinmeisters come up with something a little more believable?Couldn't they have arranged a mini-crisis to explain away the Presidents availability?
Have the recount drumbeats begun yet?With the Corzine corruption crew,Obama,ACORN,SEIU and no doubt more groups involved in tilting the playing field,it would seem likely if it's close at all.Gee,I heard a rumor of a car with a trunkful of Corzine absentee ballots parked under an ACORN tree in front of the local SEIU hall.More to come...
