The future of Christmas?

Because of new climate and environmental laws, there will be no Christmas this year.

It seems one Kris Kringle, a.k.a Santa Claus, has been grounded due to advocating genocide and violation of carbon standards.

It seems that our government apprehended Santa at his North Pole residence.

The charges against him claim that Santa has inspired families to buy or cut down Christmas trees, with the sole purpose of putting presents under them.

Although, the government does admit that the holiday known as Christmas did temporarily prevent the use of the chimney, thereby saving many trees (this is the main entrance for Santa on Christmas Eve).

The overall effect is mitigated by the millions of trees killed, decorated and disposed of each year.

The government commented that Santa is a co-conspirator and that a warrant has been issued for one Jesus of Nazareth (the reason for the season). It is stated that this other wanted person apparently left town some time ago [whereabouts unknown] with no idea of when he might return.

Sources further claim that Santa has not hired a lawyer yet, but during processing at a federal prison, Santa was found to have a bag of coal. This didn't bother the federal agents till it was found that the names of all elected officials in government were on each piece of coal.

Failing to prove invasion of privacy by St. Nick, the feds charged him with violation of pollution standards for improperly storing the coal in violation of E.P.A. standards.

Prosecutors were said to be trying to work a deal, suggesting that if Santa could help with the passing of healthcare reform for the President, the charges could be dropped.

Sources are reported to say that the only response was HO, HO, HELL NO!

What would Suess say about taxes

Tax, tax, tax.

Oh the taxes we will pay,

work all day and save all night because of the taxes you will pay.

Go to work to your job, oh the taxes you do pay.

Own a car, fill it up,

and speed up the taxes you do pay.

Buying food at the store, on your plate you'll be taxed some more.

Have a phone and you will see that ringing tone is taxing you and me.

Taxed to pay for things we need, taxes to pay for their political greed.

Taxed all morning and through the day, Taxed Enough Already is what we say.

Government should spend less instead of taxing more; can’t politicians stop acting like a fiscal whore?

All the money you could ever spend, tax, tax, and taxed again.

Will this spending never end, one way to stop it is with a friend.

Start at the rallies, together you must go.

To stop the tax and the spending show, our voices louder as the crowds do show.

President Obama don't you know, the conservative movement steadily grows.

What to do and where to go, to the poles don't you know.

Back to being a republic we must fly, so our country doesn't wither and die.

We need a real Robin Hood

Everyone knows the tale of Robin Hood and how he stole from the rich and gave to the poor, but what would you say if I told you that the premise of the story is not true? Fact is, he and his merry men risked all to steal from the government (the king) and gave back to the tax payers (the poor). He had many rich friends, like Maid Marian, from whom he never stole. It was always the Sheriff of Nottingham and the lords who profited from the taxes that he would ambush in the woods. Robin never went to the merchants and took from them, because they, like the average citizen, were overly taxed. His sole focus was the sheriff and the other lords who went around “raping” the people of all that they had earned. I point this out because in our modern day we have President Obama who came into office like Errol Flynn swinging in with all the flair of the hero in the classic black and white film. He stood there with a smile saying, “I am going to take from the rich and give to the poor,” and people ate it up in heaps because of the fear stirred up by the media.

But now we have regrets, because we are further in debt and have even more unemployment than predicted. By electing Obama, people didn’t get Robin Hood, instead they got the Sheriff of Nottingham. And instead of robbing from the rich, he is imposing more taxes, including increased taxes on your bosses along with other planned taxes that will prevent businesses from hiring or expanding. We will soon have higher healthcare premiums as well. All of this makes the other lords (Pelosi, Reed, Frank) happy.

What we need is a modern day Robin Hood (regardless of party) who will take back from the government what it has wrongfully taken (through over taxation) from the tax payers and who, instead of using the sword, will use answers and reason to fight an increasingly oppressive federal government. Our modern day Robin would push to end an entitlement society that allows people to steal the hard earned dollars from you and me and puts into effect an incentive policy that makes people want to work—instead of sitting at home living off of Social Security disability or welfare. [You know them. They are the ones you heard talking about how to get on the welfare rolls even though they are fully capable of working.] Our Robin would know that the answer to helping everyone includes implementing a Fair Tax (which makes us more competitive on the world markets), term limits (to prevent the problem of life-long members), tort reform (which would include the end to the class action suits), smaller government (get rid of redundancy) and the implementation of laws that encourage the medical system to fix the problems and provide what doctors and patients want.

I would like people to know that I am being general about people on welfare, Social Security disability and other programs—but the system is rife with people who are able to work, yet choose to take the easy route in life that requires little more than to show up for the check and keep complaining about medical problems.

Robin Hood took from the government and gave back to the tax payers, because he knew that what was rightfully theirs should not be taken away in order for those in government to just continue to increase their influence. A Robin Hood like this is what I would call a real hero. The question is: where is he and would anyone actually support him besides me?

Obama, Not so funny.

Is President Obama following the examples of Rufus T. Firefly, the Fictional President of Freedonia (from the Marx brother’s movie Duck Soup)?

Swept into office by ardent supporters who had a blind faith in his ability, he has come into office making rules that make no sense and he doesn't plan on following.

And as he talked fast an assured, he blinded everyone till they realized what he had said. Now you find it was all just a song and dance.

The problem is that unlike a move or what his Hollywood supporters think, this is reality and not some funny movie where we laugh till the end.

America is in crisis, I know people say it was President Bush's fault and to some extent I agree. The lack of vetoes on run away spending was a major concern; he should have vetoed wasteful spending bills regardless of which party sponsored it.

Yet it is a fact that our current President came in with a funny song and dance routine of how to fix things, when as a straight man he isn't qualified to run a quick mart store.

He has simply been a front man for all the Democrats that were looking for someone who could sell the people of America their policies.

A stimulus bill written by an organization that has an agenda, health bill by a party that thinks it knows better than doctors or patients, and a cap and trade bill that is in support of fraudulent scientist theory.

Our president claimed to be someone who was going to work to fix what was broke in Washington.

Still days go by and you see, not only did he not stop the show he taught everyone a new step that no one can keep up with.

The song and dance routine that Rufus T. Firefly did was funny and as a movie it made fun of politicians.

Obama's song and dance isn't funny and instead of making fun of politicians he laughing at us.

Groucho funny, Obama not so much. Maybe a mustache and cigar will help.

All hail?

When President Obama came into office people said it was another Camelot, similar to the days of Kennedy. What they got wrong was that it was Camelot, similar to being ruled by a king, where the people are no longer able to have a say in how their country is run. There was a large part of this population that didn’t vote for this President, now that part of this population has no voice. The President talked about a by partisanship unlike that of the previous President yet he gets less votes from the opposition than the previous President.

That doesn’t bother our President because he is now ruling, making decisions about our lives as if he was the king of America. Keeping those who don’t agree with him out of the loop when it comes to making the decisions to guide America and basically ruling in a way that is reminiscent of how people of the revolution saw the king of England.

Having a different standard of how those who are in charge are able to define things, like when it is said that this administration would be the most open and post legislation on the web 5 days prior to a vote. Then not doing it till there is public outcry.

They look at those who would speak out against their policies as an enemy; they claim they (Tea Party Members) are just big corporation when the truth is it is you and I out there as individuals. I guess in the eyes of the President we are the ENEMY. Just like the king of England thought of the citizens of America who disagreed with his policies, do you wonder why there is a revolution brewing at the grassroots. We now stand at the very beginning of what is a revolution of the technological type, we blog and meet and basically share the information on the internet that the President doesn’t want us to know.

I don’t say all hail Obama, I say Oh Hell.

It is time for we the people to revolt against the king.

Could we have the answers

I have a suggestion for a new movement.

Please tell me what you think.

The Federalist

Motto "The individual is the answer".

Inspired by federalist paper #57

This organization is to come up with answers, to develop a way for the average American citizen to have a say.

"Who are to be the electors of the federal representatives? Not the rich, more than the poor; not the learned, more than the ignorant; not the haughty heirs of distinguished names, more than the humble sons of obscurity and unpropitious fortune. The electors are to be the great body of the people of the United States."

(James Madison)

This should be the goal of this organization.

This is only the shell of what could be a group or a way for Americans to be involved.

No party, just show up and participate.

The Federalist is an organization of individuals that are not affiliate to any party and by its charter is subordinate to the individual.

This organization is formed in the sense that government should be, of the people, by the people and for the people.

The federalist will come up with the answer (created by the individual) to stop the people from becoming indentured servants and to stop the abuse of entitlements by a sub-society that empowers the few at the punishment of the many.

A basic outline of how this organization would work.

The organization would consist of a president, a vice president, a secretary, a media representative, and a treasurer.

Rules of meeting would follow Roberts’s rules of organization.

Finances would follow the 501-3c rule and would be run in a non-profit format.

Format for meeting.
Call to order.
Pledge.
Prayer (when some one is available if not then a minute of self prayer).
Finance report
Old business, with the review of past subjects drafted as resolution followed by the call to
continue on old groups’
new business.
Organization business
the president ask if there are subjects (topics of interest) that people would like to develop answers for.
Call for answers
reading of answers and the turning over for draft to resolution format
adjournment

if a subject is brought up then that individual will step aside as a rally point, the president then will address all interested parties to join that individual.
If no others join that individual then, that individual will be the sole developer of a prospective answer.
Once that group has been formed, for the time of that meeting will be locked.
If any individual out of that group at some time during the meeting has a thought to add to the subject, that thought must be written anonymously and the vice-president will deliver it to the group for consideration.

Subsequent groups will be formulated in the same fashion. An individual shall only actively participate in one group at a meeting.

Individuals are not required to remain in any one group at following meetings.

At the end of the meeting the groups will bring up any completed answers, those answers will be read allowed.
If a subject is not ready for submission it will be tabled and called forth at the next meeting to be continued.
Answers will be submitted to the secretary to be drafted as a resolution.
The resolution must be submitted for review by any of the original drafters.
The resolution will be brought to the following meeting to be signed by any and all participants who wish to support it and then submitted (being posted on any website the organization might have and sent to all elected officials in both electronic and hard copy).

Jimmie T. Smith

Madison said it couldn't happen / Politicians are trying to prove him wrong

If this spirit shall ever be so far debased as to tolerate a law not obligatory on the legislature, as well as on the people, the people will be prepared to tolerate any thing but liberty. (James Madison)

It started decades ago, we let the elected officials become something that they were never meant to be.

We granted them a status of being something special, now our elected officials are in power and will offer you the constituents almost any program or entitlement you could want if you would just reelect them.

Worse yet they are in a contest to grant more than their opponent come election time, this of course is done with your money.

We have gotten into such an entitlement hole that you can now live cradle to grave all of someone else dollar and just so you know that someone else is you and I.

The other part of this is those who elect these people, you can see in the letters to the editors of your local paper that if you disagree with legislation to have our government give more of your money away, well then you’re just a shrill for some big business.

There was a letter in the citrus county chronicle in which the person made comments of how people who disagree with the Health care reform bill, well we are all just dopes paid by the Insurance companies.

Truth is its just people like you and I speaking out

When our leaders live at a different standard, than you and I, we are obligated as residents of this Republic to make the choice of either stand up and correct it or tolerate it and loose our liberty.

I for one say it starts with the tax dollars and saying mine is mine and moving on to going to events, meetings and if need be forming a movement. We must stop the theft of our successes, because we the people will not tolerate the loss of our liberty, no matter how our politicians try to sell it.

Tired of politicians who pander, what about answer. Here is an example.

The problem with politics is that it gets in the way of our lives, they make laws that not needed or useful. The example is the fight about Gay marriage, this being on one side a fight against people specifically calling the union between man and woman marriage.

The other saying it is bigoted and that two people should be able to be together and have the same rights and be able to share things like work benefits (insurance) with their respective partners.

Here is what I call an easy answer, make a law that says any two individuals living in a mutually supporting relationship under the same house will upon signing a contract of mutual support be granted all or any benefits and rights allowed by those of a man and woman in marriage.

This would allow two elderly people who want to co-exist, be able use the insurance benefits without the requirements of a sexual relationship. By signing this contract it would require the two individuals to live under the same roof like a man and a woman so as to prevent the corruption of the system. Further it should be stated in the law that this contract can’t be cancel without six month notice intent of cancelation.

This is an example of the individual pointing out that we don’t want a wasteful argument as we have had in the past, we want real answers and real solutions. Either that or get out of our government, we don’t have time for politicians who pander.

Letter to the Tea Party

Prior to the invasion of Europe by Allied forces general Eisenhower drafted a letter.

Below is a letter to tea party members and like minded (individuals), in the spirit of the letter to invading forces.

Taxpayers, producers, and businessmen of the United States of America, earlier this spring you came together in a campaign, toward which we have found a need to stop the movement away from a Government of Republican principles.

All though our leaders have claimed to not have heard from you, be assured the world is listening.

The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere stand with you.

In the company of brave individuals, your brothers-in-arms all across America will bring about the reestablishment of a true republic. Eliminate as much as possible corrupt politicians and re-secure a truly free future.

Your task will not be an easy one, your opponents are well supported, passionate and battle tested.

They will defend themselves with claims of hatred, racism and other detractors from the facts.

Yet this is 2009 and our opponents have shown themselves, the united effort of the Tea Party, the 9/12 projects and others have inflicted damage upon a political machine that drives us towards socialism.

Our rallies, letters, calls, and E-mails have seriously reduced the blind following.

Our love of the individual, our families and our country has given us an overwhelming superiority in ideas and answers.

The tide has turned! The freedom loving individuals are standing together for victory.

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to freedom and your willingness to right this wrong.

We will accept nothing less than full victory. Let us all beseech the blessing of almighty god upon this great and noble undertaking.

Resolved

Resolved, that is one of the most important terms ever used by our Government and more so the founding fathers.

We see America changing to a country that is being increasingly run by a federal Government, standing in absolute contrast with the constitution as written by our founding fathers.

We as a people must once again resolve to throw off the shackles of oppression, this time from our very own government as warned possible by the signers of our Declaration of Independence.

The American people are now in a state of bearing the weight brought by politicians in the form of taxations.

This over taxation as a way to pay for entitlements is forewarned by our founding fathers “as a way for unworthy candidates to practice with success the vicious arts by which elections are too often carried”.

The American people also find themselves enslaved to a portion of the populous that gladly grants Government more influence over their daily lives, as a way to not have to work to find success in life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness.

These people gladly enter into slavery and drag the rest of us as well, so government will grant them a modicum of a meager life, a small amount of liberty as well as a sense of happiness.

The American people must resolve to return to a Republic that lifts the burden of paying for those who will not stand free of the enslavement of entitlements provided by less than moral politicians who use benevolence as a way to gain power.

The argument of freedom and enslavement has been settled long ago in the history of our blessed country. From the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, Supreme Court decisions and the Civil Rights act.

People have fought physical oppression and enslavement, yet as civilization has given way to the technical age we have found there are still millions of poor and down trodden.

We now recognize this is because of a form of oppression that has not been seen since our Independence, that of taxation without representation. You say we have representation, yet the very representatives we vote for often are just as bad as kings of the past.

We as Americans must resolve to reign in our Government and elected officials at all points.

It is their by resolved that we the people of America having tired of corruption, do require that our elected officials at all levels shall move forward on a constitutional amendment to establish term and age limits.

It is further resolved that the oppression felt by all productive citizens be relieved by the implementation of a consumption tax (fair tax) as already in front of the House and Senate. Finally we the people in the strongest of terms want an end to an entitlement society that tamps the spirit of freedom and enslaves to government, citizens of average standing.

It is their by resolved that all federal entitlement programs be audited for fraud, the punishment for this being a 2 year restriction from authorization to use any entitlements. Further more all federal agencies and organizations in which any entitlements is issued be review annually to determine redundancy and that of any redundancy be rectified by consolidation or elimination.

Defend the Republic

Healthcare reform? Insurance reform? Government control? medical spending (Medicare) will be slashed, yet spending on community entities will have grants. These community entities will only have to prove that they had community activity and experience with healthcare workers. no qualifications needed, no certification no proof of that Nancy Pelosi guaranteed quality and no proof any of this will produce success. more people in these programs will be informing people of their benefits and acting as interpreters as well as pushing diversity, instead of using the same money to take care of the sick. all this will support the liberal agenda, because those who will run these programs will end up being the same kind of radical as those who run ACORN or in positions as the czars. They will pander to people by giving preference in regard to race, ethnicity and gender instead of qualifications. This is being done (the mass give away of funds) to further liberal control over the American people instead of working to fix the government installed HMO's that got us in this situation. to see more of how your government wants control of your healthcare go to

Get informed, get involved and protect our republic!

The looters have struck

The looters have struck what is a devastating blow to the individual and worse yet to freedom.
Those who loot by reaching into your paycheck (the Democratic led congress) have voted themselves yet more power to reach even deeper then before.
If as an individual you are successful you will directly pay more out of your pocket for health insurance as well as everything else.
If you own a business you will be punished so that your profits will be less what you pay your employees will be less and what you charge will be more.
as an average person of modest means you will pay for our looters in congress' decision, your prices on everything must go up to pay for this bill.
It may only go up penny's here or there but the idea of Ben Franklin's "a penny saved is a penny earned" is now dead at the hands of the health care bill.
The looters have killed Ben Franklin sound and timeless advice, just like his claim that we had a Republic for as long as we could keep it.
We now are about to get what our founding fathers feared, a true Democracy in which the mob rules.
if not held in check this could end our Republic and the things that made America great.
All this because the previous governments gave us a failing system called HMO's and now the looters in the form of an angry mob (called Democrats) chose a leader (President Obama) that is willing to loot the last of Americas wealth. This health care legislation gives government more control, the taking over of the financial system wasn't enough, corporations weren’t enough and we know health care won't be either.
the only answer is the tea party movement and fiscal conservatives, don't let Democracy kill the republic.
Fight the looters by voting for the conservatives, keep America a free country.

It is our governments job to protect the rights of the individual, yet when our government is attacked by an agenda such as we see now it is up to us as individuals to come to it's aid
We the producers worked so hard at making our future better that we let the looters and moochers walk right in. It is time to close the door on this radical leftist agenda before it is too late. We can set America straight again, but it will take each one of us to build a grassroots movement to set America back on the path to stay the shining city on the hill.
Our forefathers stepped up to make america free, our grandparents stood fought against nazism and our parents defeated the spread of communism. Now it is your turn to stand up for your rights against a socialist movement in america, you are the next great generation and that time to stand up starts now, today, here.
We occupy that shinning city our ancestors built and we do not want the lights to go out, so go today and be what is needed to make america great, stand up for freedom.

Public option Government theft.

If you support a “public option” and want the Government to fix the medical system, then you have to admit that your ok with higher taxes.

Sure if your poor you assume that this increase in taxes will just be on the rich. Eventually you will pay more at the cash register (just pennies but it will be more), of course then it will be to late.

If you support this and your rich then in the bigger picture you will not be as hurt as bad because you probably own a business and will simply transfer the cost to your customers.

Last if your middle class like myself you will be hurt the most, you probably have insurance and will have to pay more for it and if not you’ll pay some kind of penalty. Next your pocket will be picket because you probably spend more at the store then the poor and in this category you are less care about than the average citizen because you might vote but you probably won’t make noise about the change.

Of all three groups those who think that universal healthcare is ok (the use of tax money to pay for healthcare) then I have a question.

Which one of you are willing to pay for someone else up front?

If you think it’s ok to reach into my pocket to take my money, why not just go to an area where the homeless congregate and make this offer.

Offer to take them to your doctor and pay for it out of your pocket directly.

What no takers?

That is normal, people don’t want to pay for it themselves they want someone else to pay for it in the form of the government taking it from me by force to pay for someone else.

How ‘s that right? How’s that legal? How’s that constitutional?

The reason that they do it is that they don’t care because other people will make more noise than I do and because I quietly go to work and raise my family my rights are not as important as those who make more noise.

I make less noise so politicians think I have less rights, like my right to the pursuit of happiness through the ability to enjoy my effort. This being done through the money which I make and as always makes me ask how much of mine is mine?

If you look at the taxes I pay and how they are going to be spent on others healthcare I guess not much of mine is mine any more when it comes to this legislation.

Jimmie T. Smith

The vote

Well the Democrats have taken the first steps needed to control our lives and take more of my money to give to others, can this be stopped or reversed? The Democrats don't care, they just want to control with our money and keep themselves in office. I for one will stand up against this for as long as is possible and I will teach my kids the truth that mine is mine and that may be the first step in reestablish the freedom of the representative republic.

Answers

The problem that now stands in front of the conservative governor's is that they must produce a state government that creates an atmosphere that will support the small businessman, cut the spending in their states and streamline ( cut ) unneeded agencies. If they do not do this the state will go back to being democratic led because the people in the states (VA and NJ) want someone who will have the answers.
We the residence of the state of Florida had a good Governor in Jeb Bush, keeping spending low was important but holding the state legislatures feet to the fire was the thing that he did best. We now have a Governor who just wants to be popular (or so it would seem) and doesn't cut enough out of the budget, yes we will make it through the hard times but we need to cut more and plan for worse times to come whether they do or not.

The Start?

I am watching the news and I wonder is the elections in Virginia, New Jersey and New York a indicator of things to come? I say that they can be if the people are true to the conservative mentality, spend less, spend wisely and fight fraud! If the elected officials who won on the agenda of the conservative values do this it will lead to a new chance for America to emerge as a world leader of freedom. If the People who have won these elections move to the center or the left of the political spectrum it will strengthen his chances of being reelected and give another push of this country to the socialist agenda.
If those elected run a conservative government and we the people stand by our conservative values along with asking "how much of mine is mine" we will in the long run turn back from the political cliff that we face now.
Go out and support the conservative values of less taxes, less spending and less government. Last but not least when you cash or deposit your pay check think "mine is mine".

Double speak about jobs saved and created

3 Million jobs lost since President was elected a year ago and they claim to have created or saved 650,000 jobs. That means that 1,450,000 jobs have been lost under president Obama with help from the stimulus plan that was rushed through.
And they make it sound like they have a good thing in what the stimulus plan has done so far. Of course those who are out of work look at it a little different.
Now the simple math won’t be pointed out by the media, nor will the fact that we were not supposed to go past 8% unemployment and the president now says he expects unemployment to pass the 10% (he was on the TV today nearly pleading for someone to come up with a plan).
This math (of saved or created jobs) is coming from a man who never led or ran a business, but his party and others expected he would lead us out of this hard times?
He is completely dependent on radical left wing organizations’ to think for him.
Here is the thing that we need to understand; the president has no clue that the Government doesn’t create jobs other than government jobs, so why did those who supported this kind of change think that he was the answer?
People feared the future and the hard times that would come, so when they had a speaker who was able to convince them that he had the answer they chose him without proof.
Instead of a leader who says, we as Americans need to come up with ways to get through the down cycle, we got a leader that thinks the American people can’t and only the government can.
We also need to look at the double speak that is happening now, with the term jobs created and saved. The government stimulus only advanced some jobs that will go away once the money does. Next I’d like to know exactly what jobs it was the government saved? Not an estimate or an example of what they would be but a hard fact of this job was saved!
Don’t be tricked by the smooth talking double speak that this president spews, the natural cycle will move jobs, change jobs and create jobs. It always had and always will.

C-span

I am sitting here watching C-span (don't laugh I happen to stop there), and I am watching how a congresswoman from NY is pushing in her questioning to get the pay Czar to agree that we should do things like set the way we do pay and compensations for business that are under the federal governments thumb, like those of europe. or how the government can push to get things changed in contracts even if they are legal and binding. Like pushing to have contracts regarding pay renigotiated.
This is all of what is wrong, we should have not forced the companies to deal with freddy mac and fanny mae. Because of that the banks had to make loans they normally would not have. then when they failed because of government regulation we want to say those who failed should have their pay managed. Government fails all the time yet not one congressman has lost his or her pay. Our federal government is reaching into things it never should have in the first place, they are the reason for the housing failure and the bank failures. now they think they can fix it by getting more involved. How scary is that!

Tell Them all

Mine is mine, mine is mine, mine is mine and for those politicians who don't understand it yet. Mine is mine.

That is the axiom that needs to be made as clear as possible.
We the free people of America who are of an ownership society have made it clear since the beginning of our country that mine is mine. The British learned this at the very beginning of the revolution that set into motions a free society, we fought for our land and we fought for rights to own that land and all on it. In this new changing society one of the biggest fears is that we are loosing our freedom, you say that government isn't taking your property. My money is my property and I work hard to earn it, as you tax it more and more you are taking it to give to others.
Mine is mine.
I take care of my family, those in my community, and others whom I care about with my time and effort because I choose too. The effort is mine and the time is mine.
Mine is mine.
Till we can teach our leaders that sit in political office this simple axiom, we will struggle to be free from an oppressive government that takes from you and gives to others.
Mine is mine.
We are now taxed on our homes for schools regardless if you have kids or not, or if the house is paid off or not. You don't really own the house because you must continue to pay a fee (tax) to your local government, stop paying your taxes and you loose your house.
Mine is mine?

Get your own paddle

There is a story in today's Chronicle, "without a paddle"
This is a story every kid needs tol read, not to feel sorry for the plight of these people but instead so our kids don't repeat it.
You see the lesson is that everyday you make the choice to be successful or to put your future in jepordy.
The story talks about two 42 year olds and a 19 year old son (of the mother) who are living in a boat.
the man is working but only brings in $200 plus after taxes and the payment child support, the other is getting $430 in unemployment. It can be imagined that the son is not bringing in any financial help, causing the mother and her boy-friend to have to spend more.
It seems that thbe individuals became unemployed a while back, her last fall and for the man it doesn't say. They have lived with others and now live in a boat.
The question to ask your kids.
Can this happen to you?
How do you budget your money to prevent this?
What kind of cost will your future have?
Who's job is it?
What would you do if you found yourself unemployed?
What do you do if you find yourself in a low paying job?
If you were bringing in $600 a month how would you get yourself out of the whole?
If you found yourself in this situation and you had a person not financially contributing what would you do?
What places could you go to get help?
My answer to them would be, this could and will likely happen to each and everyone of us.
I would make sure my needs are met first and follow that by only getting wants that don't overwork my budget.
I will show them that they will have certain bills but also they will have the annual or by-annual increase in cost for things like insurance , auto repair and medical emergancies.
Understanding that the job belongs to the business and you only occupy that slot.
If I found myself in that position I would rework my resume, go to the library to submit my resume on line(or do it at the work force center or home).
What would you do if you found yourself in a low payng job is easy, continue to put your resume out there and try to find better. Don't be happy with just getting by and be as thrifty as possible.
with as little as $600 a month I would room with anyone, I would make them glad that theyhad me as a roommatd. My goal as stated above would be to get into a better position to improve my life.
I would not support a person over 18 who doesn't work to improve their possition, that person would have to be out on their own.
I would go to the library to read the paper to find jobs as wll as knock on every door I could, if it came to feeding myself I would go to every church.
there are so many more answers and mine might not be the best, but I try and have always tried to not make the mistakes that will ruin my life. This is what we must teach our kids, think about your future everyday if you actually want to have a good one.

How much of mine is mine?

I would like to know, if I held up a dollar and asked a group of people who's is this dollar? Most would say yours and a few characters would joke about it being theirs, I would agree with the first assessment. It’s my dollar and I can assure you I have worked hard for that dollar. I try to be smart about my dollar by paying my bills and other needs, then I put some into savings and finally I pay (reward) myself for being good with my dollar. This is a conservative attitude when it comes to the dollar I earn and spend. A good majority of Americans are fiscal conservatives at their core, but then you have the government come in and look at that same dollar. The government doesn't see your dollar as your dollar, they see it as a means to provide services. We agree as citizens that my dollar pays for certain things, like roads, police, the fire department and military. There are even programs that are out there for times of need like food stamps (which I hear people talking about how to bilk that system all the time) that are there to help. I agree I should pay a portion of my dollar for these things, yet we are now to the point that my dollar is not going to things to help but to projects that pander. My dollar that was mine is quickly divided up into, taxes, fees and charges paid to the government. Many of my dollars go to help other governments around the world, a lot of it gets wasted right here. Now your telling me and those like me that if I have insurance it will be taxed or if I don’t have insurance I will have to pay a penalty? My dollar? Or do I work to make money for the government and they let me keep some of what I earn to make me happy so I will go out and make them more. Who’s Dollar is it? Ask how much of mine is mine!

Second Draft

This is my second draft of a possible speech

My name is Jimmie T Smith
I am a retired U.S. Army paratrooper
a blogger at everydayconservative.blogspot.com
"and a proud supporter of the tea party movement".

As a supporter of the tea party I stand with like minded individuals to let our government know that we want our constitutionally guarenteed right to redress our greivences.
Mr President please listen to what we have to say!

As a blogger and an American Citizen I am speaking out about the abuse of power that is now rampant in our government.
as exampled by the appointment of radical individuals as czar, the bully tactics used to rush legislation through congress to be signed in to law, the double talk about a more transparent government and the bold faced lies fed to us about our taxes.

As a retired paratrooper I know that to win any fight we must have clear and consice answers and ask the right questions.

We need answers that will really solve the problems that we face today, not lip service from a president who pandered to the people to get elected.

We need answers to healthcare reform that doesn't punish many to pay for a few.

We've all heard stories about medical bills that caused people to loose their homes because of the outrageous cost of treatment.

why not create a fund that families in need could borrow from as a interest free loan to off set their medical bills, thus giving people a hand up not a hand out.

we need more doctors and nurses and other healthcare professionals, so why not redirect grant monies into the medical fields instead of funding the study of mice.(find a better example)

lets start encouraging jobs in the medical fields in high schools by introducing courses in E.M.T. And C.N.A..

We can grant automatic legal immigrant status to any highly needed medical professional from overseas.

I am not suggesting that these are the only solutions to our problems, I am just trying to encourage a mentallity of grass roots answers..

with that thought in mind why not why not establish term limits which will potentially stop the corruption by politicians who give away our tax dollars so they can stay in office. Limit Representatives to 4 terms and sentators to 3 terms.

Let the politicians know that our tax dollars are not their tax dollars. that they (politicians) can not use our money to teather their nests and continue to bribe the voters with "free government programs".
Another answer, and I'm sure a lot of you will agree with me, is give us the fair tax!

it will bring in investments and bring back jobs. it will get rid of the underground economy that allows the free loader to mooch off of our tax dollars.

Finally we as individuals need to ask the right question,
and the most important question I would like to ask is "how much of mine is mine?".
Ask that to every politician who wants more in taxes, fees and charges.
Tell all of your elected officials that we as individuals work hard for our money. We pay our bills and struggle to get ahead in life so I have to ask. "Mr. President how much of mine is mine?".

Yet politicians don't think twice about increasing current taxes and even creating new ones just so they can maintain their life styles.

Everyday we see politicians pandering to the moochers. Moochers who will elect anyone so that they can continue to get their "entitlements".

Once again I ask "how much of mine is mine?"
It's time for us to stand up against a increasingly oppresive goverment, to speak out about this abuse of power. It's time to come up with real answsers and then top it off by asking that one question that politicians avoid like the plague "how much of mine is mine?".

you've started that by showing up at these rallies now you need to take the next step.

Call the white house, our senators and all elected officials.

Tell them to stop with oppresive government tactics, end the abuse of power and give us health care reform that doesn't punish success.

Give us real represntation through term limits, and generate a thriving economy with the implimentation of the fair tax.

all these elected olfficials have heard of the tea party... now its time to hear from the tea party.



lets jam their phones, fill their e-mail and make them face reality.

The reality that says, if you don't hear us now you will hear us at the polls because "mine is mine"



thank you and God bless the tea party and God bless the united states of america.

Where's dinner

I would like to know if I have to give more of my paycheck in the way of higher insurance premiums to help other have free or less expensive healthcare. What do the people who are getting my money have to do for this care? I work many hard long hours and because of that I pay more in taxes also. So since I have to pay more in incfreased premiums and taxes, do those who we are supporting with our effort actually have to do anything other than fill out paper work?
I understand that there are those that need help, yet there are hundreds of thousands if not millions who will bilk the system and waste my hard earned money!
They (the moochers) will get away with it because some bleeding heart will FEEL sorry for these people and try to justify the fraud. With comments like "they were just trying to make ends meet", or "what do you expect in hard times" and "they are the working poor and they deserve it." I say why do they deserve my money? My employer gives me a salary for doing something and we are giving other my money for my time and effort. Hows this for a option those who profit from my effort should allow me to go to their house for dinner, but they don't have the money you say I say yes they do have money , mine. So wheres dinner?

Why not just quit?

That is what I want to ask each and every healthcare proffessional. 90% (in my opinion) of all medical professionals are honest and hard working people who chose to get into health care.
some chose medicine for humanitarian reasons, fasination with medicine and even the financial gains possible.
none of these are bad reasons, yet only those who want financial gains will always be attacked.
the people who get into medicine for financial reasons are quickly vilified and all to often every doctor is just as easily targeted, becuase of wealth envy or dissatisfaction.
people say that doctors make to much money, but most of these people who would say this have not went through the many years of school and intership.
Doctors don't care about the needy you say, so I say go to medical school and show them how to do it.
Not born with a silver spoon you say? Never a real good student, but if you were you would be a better doctor then whats out there now?
I say that these doctors who are often on call to help those who would hate them at all hours of the day and night. Why .do you act like the doctor is great when they are there but talk bad about them when they are not. One recent letter said "patients have a right to go to the doctor when they are in pain and shouldn't not be told unless something is wrong".
Truth is that that person wants free health care and wants the doctor to be at their call.
What a state of mind, because they have pain the doctor should be at their beck and call and further more that person doesnt want to ay for it?
oh how typical of those who want health care reform, give me medici.ne now and make someone else pay for it.
I guess it is a free society only for the needy, so once again why do doctors do it.

Hypocrite!

The letter in the paper started with the line. Health care for free!

This individual talked about how she got hurt while on vacation (oh how nice to be wealthy enough to vacation overseas). An ambulance was called and she was sent to the hospital, the short of it was after some minor questions this lady was given health care. When it was time to leave they waited for payment arrangement and were told “we don’t have time for that; universal health care should take care of your treatment.

This she claims is what is wrong with America and goes on to say how satisfied she was with her experience and that hard working Americans should get the same because they deserve it. Then complains about how the bloated CEO’s make money on the sick folks.

Let me get this, you have more than enough money to travel overseas and take time off for a vacation and want free health care? Did I get that right? I want the best health care that money can buy and I am willing to pay for it out of my own pocket (and I can’t afford a vacation). You took money out of the pockets of the people like me that paid for you when you obviously can afford it, you don’t want everyone to have free health care you just don’t want to pay for it. This is the problem with those who support health care. If you don’t want people to pay for health care then take all that money your able to spend and give it to the people at Shands who provide care for children! You hypocrite! Talking about bloated CEO’s, there are more good CEO’s than bad, they work long hours to make a business successful and provide jobs so that you can earn a living and go to England and get free health care paid on the backs of the average citizen. Oh and no one deserves anything, this from a veteran who was willing to put his life on the line for one thing. Freedom.

Remaking America in the image of our leader

Since our current President has gotten into office the only thing that is really being done is remaking America in the image of what our president wants. The America that kept the world moving forward, the one that helped end oppression and freed millions. We have asked more of our people in the name of others, we have done for others that which they could not do. Now we are going to change all this and end up as a country that is oppressing our own, causing our country to slide to a lower status. This is not on accident this is intentional to bring about a more equal world, equal at the cost of our own liberties and freedoms. Paid for on our dime, through over taxation.
How much of mine is mine?
If I could just ask the president that one question, I would bring a list of taxes that I pay and then ask him to tell me, how much of mine is mine.
Leave the country as it was, if you want to help the country free the individual from the oppressive taxes and watch us succeed.

Why bother?

Why do we bother having a president when we are being led by a man that is spending time talking about leadership and making changes but still has done nothing but give everyone in his party what they want. Which is more of the money I make, we are working hard each day and our Nobel Prize winning president (great now his head won't fit through the doors of the white house) is willing to spend and spend because it's not his money. He is going to get a reward for the prize will he walk around and give it away, will he start a business and hire people or will do more wasteful thinks with it. I would bet that what he is going to do is simply fool hearted! A person who never ran anything is now our president and he even won an award for not doing anything. Yes indeed change we can believe in and hope, like hope for another Ronald Reagan (run Palin run).

Oh My God!

My daughter has a new term, I think now is the time for me to use it. Oh My God, that is what she says and that is what I think when I hear that President Obama has won an award for freedom after being in office for only two weeks! What kind of award is it when you get it for your intentions or because they hated your predecessor so much that they award you just because it's not him. Oh my God!
How can you look at those who have actually accomplished something in their life and say we were going to vote for you but this other guy is going to do so well so we are voting for him. I think at that point I would pack up my work for others and say the heck with this, OK maybe not but I would be very unhappy!
Oh My God! There are so many people that think this man is magic even though he hasn't ever run anything, was never there to vote for most of this persons term as senator and can't make a decision to save his or anyone else life. The only thing this guy is good for is giving other peoples money away. Oh My God.

How much of mine is mine?

I have a question that will put the looters on the spot.
“How much of mine is mine”?
You talk about the need to help, yet you want to force me to help others with my paycheck. How many of these same people are helping others.
On a daily basis I work to provide a good life for my family, why you want to take the food out of my family’s mouth?
Even if I gave every extra penny I have to the supposed needy they would eventually find themselves back in the same position in life.
Children need to be taught, failure starts early and success starts even earlier.
The philosophy of striving for the brass ring should be taught, not only in the monetary sense but in the sense that being your best at what you do is of vital importance in life.
Through this your chances of having a good life improve, yet foolishness in your life will cancel out any good you do any other time.
We need to stop teaching a workers attitude and plant the seed that will take the yought of today past the point of merely showing up and working solely to pay the bills.
We must teach a ownership mentality, “Mine is Mine”.
Be proud of your values and ethic and all the rewards of a hard working and honest life.
People will tell you don’t be greedy yet they want to reach their greedy hands into your pockets, all in the name of taking from you the greedy.
The idea of using greed to fight greed, that is how they take from you by using what they are and accusing you of the same.
This makes you go on the defense and obscures your vision, this is the time when looters take from you.
“How much of Mine is Mine”!
They can’t answer that, so you who don’t want to be a endangered servant must ask this question.
If not you will be punished by an oppressive government, so don’t fall on your knees for your government stand on your own two feet and ask “how much of mine is mine”?

Response

I would like to respond to the letter “option needed”.
Mrs. Ballan talked about how we elect legislators to represent us. She is correct, those who are against a “public option” represent my views and those who favor one are her views.
She obviously means that elected officials should only support the ideas that she chooses, this is one of the biggest problems that the left has. I as a blogger (everydayconservative.blogspot.com) espouse my views all the time. I also understand that in something’s I will not get my way because our officials represent all of us. The public option though is a smoke screen for a more intrusive government. If the public option becomes that quasi-insurance that they claim, they will have a problem of collecting as much in premiums as they pay out in claims. So the government will have to pay out to fix the problem like they do with every other program. There is no such thing as a government program that is in budget, if there is please tell me.
Is the government option really what this person wants or is it an issue with companies making a profit? Gasp a profit, think of the horror of the fact that an insurance company wants to make money and pay their people, their bills and build their businesses.
Mrs. Ballan talks of people dying of lack of health care yet more people die from drinking and driving and excessive speeding, a much more controllable situation.
Oh and lets not forget that Mrs. Ballan wants health care to be a right. She should be made to work in a hospital to support that right; of course the pay will be minimal to help reduce the cost to others. I know Mrs. Ballan will have no problem cleaning bed pans in support of those rights. You see the basic problem is two fold.
1) My money is not Mrs. Ballans to help pay her medical bills, I spend it as I choose and you are not entitled to it.
2) You can not claim something as a right that you have to force someone to do, if it’s a right then the doctor has to treat you even if he doesn’t want to.
Mrs. Ballan I have 2 questions
How much of mine is mine and who do you want to force into service to support your supposed right.

what you can expect from this government

The president claims that health care is a right, then you must assume that other more important things are a right and should be granted by the government.
1st Right (Food)
To survive you must have food, if Government health care is a right then food is the first of all rights as no one can survive with out food and no one should die from lack of food.
We should provide each and every family with food enough to survive , those who make a profit should be made to pay More at the cash register to support those to lazy to to earn the money to shop at the best of stores just because of the cost.
Food is also a major reason for the need for increased health care spending, so the amount we let people eat should be controlled as well as the type of food they eat!
Any and all junk food white bread and other unhealthy foods should be done away with, just think a law can be passed and no more fat people!
This would be the way for Government to ensure peoples rights to good healthy food!
2nd Right (Shelter)
There is no reason for people to be homeless, everyone should have a home of their own and no one should go broke having to pay for a house that the government can pay for. A house that is built by the government will help bring down the cost of homes because competition is good, all you have to do is increase the cost of the homes from people who can afford them to pay for the houses of the needy.
To stop homelessness you could also tax the stars, they should be made to give back the money to their rightful owners, so the homeless could live regular lives. This would also allow them to be healthier, along with providing for their first right (Food) the could again be happy people.
3rd right (Employment)
The right to have a personally rewarding job that will allow people to feel good about themselves, it doesn't matter if they can do the job as long ans they feel good about themselves.
We can make others who have jobs either give up some of their hours or take a cut in pay, that or they can even go as far as giving up their position and moving back to their roots at the bottom.
4th right (transportation)
It doesn't help to provide for the other rights if unless everyone has a means of transportation, How till they get to their work or visit their friends houses to find ways to get more government aid. That and how will people be able to drive to the convenience store for their cigarette's and beer? It should be easy to provide a car for people since the people already own a car company. (Government Motors).
Once all these rights are taken care of I think we won't have to worry about health care because who needs health care when you don't have freedom.
This is the direction the country is going and if you don't believe it then just look at Cuba, Venezuela and the Peoples Republic of Korea (North Korea).
They have so many rights which even include free health care, they just don't have freedom.

A movie Quote

It's always safe to denounce the rich, everyone will help you. The rich first!
(from the Fountainhead by Ayn Rand)
We see an America that is being run by 60's and 70's radicals who were rich and hated the freedom of the American people, they claimed to love America while at the same time trying to break down the core of the Representative Republic. They have now gotten to a point that they have the chance to do it, it is the 60's revolution now coming to a point of victory. Will we let them? can we stop them? what must we do!
We must do the one thing that they would never think of, we must come up with clear easily defined answers to the real problems of today.
When we do that the conservative will save America and make this a great country once again.

Three steps to break America

The President has driven me to constantly think about the individual as he stands now with all this collective think (Socialism), new speak and the trickery that is trying to destroy the individual. You may say how is this President attacking the individual? His policies, from the implementation of the increase numbers of Czars to Cap and Trade and last Universal Health care are all simply just a means to disarm the individual.
Czars work as the Presidents means to destroy out founding fathers experiment of a constitutional Government that is our "Republic".
The individuals most sacred document (the Constitution of the United States) called for the Government to protect the freedoms of the individual and their freedom, freedom that set our country apart from the others.
The Czars must go to protect the form Government that stands for the individual. Cap and trade is a Marxist type of punitive tax that effects every American at every level, you will pay more to industry meet the requirements of Government Regulation.
In the Punishment that is cap and trade you the individual will see more of your dollars go so the Government can distribute your money to those they choose. This is contrary to all of our principles that we teach our kids or that we hope to see in our family and our future.
We are expected to work together so we can help each other yet you can't help an individual who doesn't want to help themselves.
this is the cap and trade goal as I see it, take from those who do and succeed and give to those who are less able.
It is a way to enslave the people who strive for success, even though actual slavery is illegal mental slavery is being advocated by our Government.
The Universal Health care plan is the last move that the Government has, to use benevolence to enslave the people who succeed and those who don't. Those who succeed will be forced to pay more ,yet still they will be called cruel and callus or full of hate if they don't want to give freely.
Like the unions who drove the corporations to bankruptcy and made them go to the Government to surrender, the Government will do the same to the individual in hope of making them join the collective and surrendering to the Government.
It will be the collective group thought with everything the individual thinks or does becoming second to what the group wants. You will not be able to have the ability to work with your doctors, it will be decided by others, it may not happen today but it will happen.
Because of the great orator in chief's skills, people will beg for their freedoms to be taken from them under the ruse of being safe and secure.

My Mantra is stay out of our homes, stay out of our pocket and stay out of our way because we are going to save America.
By this I will fight the Czars, The cap and trade and Universal health care.

Response to Letter to Editor at Chronicleonline.com

Suzan Franks is a typical politician in the sense that they complain about high prices in the private sector but have no problem with out federal Government increasing (taxes) rates.
The letter to the editor (09/20/09) talked about how progress energy wants to impose a tax on it's rate payers.
Is Mrs. Franks now so against imposing a tax rate increase that she will speak out against the cap and trade? Which is on a rate increase on even the most indigent of energy consumers.
Will her organizations "Citizens for Rate Payer Rights" that is 10,000 strong, send someone to the white house to complain?
She must be aware of how the President ignores the millions of people who are speaking out against his policies of increase rates. Is she a typical politicians or will she cross party lines like so many of the others in support of the Tea Party who speak out against the cap and trade rate increase or will she only speak out against Republicans? This is your chance Mrs. Franks to prove your letter to the editor wasn't just a political hit on still another Republican and your really against rate increases. Be it Federal, State or Other. If not I say in Mrs. Franks own words "shame on you".

Univeral healthcare, not what we need!

You see the Government is currently telling you that millions of people are in crisis because they don’t have healthcare. Yet how many more millions are in crisis because they can’t get to work in a reliable care? An individual without a reliable car has an increased chance of losing their jobs, costing them and the economy more than can be estimated by my humble means. But if they had a new car (say from a government owned car company), they could make it to work and have a better chance of succeeding at their jobs and the bosses would lose less money. This would also put more money into the pocket of the individual and allow them to pay for that healthcare that they so easily claim is a human right.
The truth is I don’t think the government should give anyone a car or universal healthcare.
I think that government should stop being so wasteful with our tax dollars that they have to take more, claiming that because people can’t afford health insurance they will pay for it with yet still more taxes. The problem is that it is a vicious cycle of government taking more of the individual’s money through taxes, then offering help because of the lack of money due to over taxation.
If you turn on the light it’s them in your house, look at every bill and you will see that government has its hands deep in your pockets, we are overburdened with taxes preventing success, and they are in your way.
What does this government do? It over taxes but offers more entitlements yet because of this people can’t afford things in their life like healthinsurance.
What is the answer? Well there is a big movement called the Tea Party or you can work at your own level by writing you elected officials. Tell them this simple message, stay out of our homes, stay out of our pocket and stay out of our way. We will fix America!

Am I my brothers keeper?

In all my life I have been taught that team work is important to success, be it sports or work. We are taught this from the very beginning of our life and we teach it to our children as soon as they can, why is it then that we punish the individual and not the whole team when someone does wrong.
This shows the fault of the collective or team mentality, why in the long run it won’t work.
It is the individual who makes things happen, when each individual achieves or strives to achieve their best the team or collective is then rewarded, but because you can not force those who wish to put less effort into things to perform their best the team or collective concept cannot be forced to work. No individual has ever failed who put forth their best effort, regardless of the results, because of this philosophy we cannot be our brother’s keeper, because when we choose as an individual to let the actions of others take control of us, the choice to give our best for ourselves is pointless and watered down.
If and when I make the conscience choice to help I do it because I benefit in some way. Helping kids in the community helps me in that there is a better chance of lower crime rate. Yet giving my money or food to others out of charity doesn’t help me as an individual at all. People will say but how can you stand by and does nothing as others fail? I say easy, I am giving them the motivation to do something to succeed because as long as they can take from me they have no need to succeed on their own.
More will say, but what about the infirm or those who are of a mental defect that doesn’t allow them to succeed. This is the most difficult point for an individual with a heart, yet I think that if someone is infirm and tries to do their best then it will benefit me to help because we can both get something from each other.
Yet if they are infirm and sit home and say feed me, help me, or do for me, I say turn a blind eye!
The only ones who should be assisted are the mentally ill that can do nothing what so ever, to those I say you will have my assistance. Because you truly have no choice to help, this brother I will keep.
It is the individual not the team, it is the individual not my brother, it is the individual not my country that must be first to succeed. And when we realize it’s because of the individual, then my brother, team, country and all can be great.

A please and thank you mob.

I spoke at the Crystal River Tea Party (9-12-09) and have to say I was so pleased by the type of people that showed.
People of all ages showed, people of all financial status showed (O.K. Bill Gates never made it), the one thing about this group that would be called a mob by is that everyone said please and thank you.
This group of Tea Party supporters is indicative of the average American. Food was brought to the event by individuals in support of individuals in need, support by individuals not the government is what many of the Tea Party thinks and wants.
They stayed in the rain to hear people speak, they never booed or complained. None of the speakers or supporters asked for the government to give them anything. Unlike those in opposition who showed up holding signs (very nice mass produced signs, wonder who is getting support and who is the grassroots) that asked for big business to pay their fair share. The opposition who wants the government to use its ability to take from us, by making it sound like big business will just pay more in taxes, when the truth is that business’ just get more out of our pocket and pass it to government.
The people at the Tea Party stand for freedom and they support the individual as the answer, not the collective of government.
The Tea Party supporters know that many have sat still too long, while our freedoms are slowly being suppressed. The average American who makes up the Tea Party are now awake and ready to step up and be heard, the march on Washington was a call to end the expansion of government. This march was a protest march that was in a size not seen before and even thought they packed the streets you don’t hear stories about rowdy protesters, passionate statements but no violence. See what happens when a pro-America, freedom loving mob gets together, it becomes a please and thank you mob!
A special thanks to Edna, great job!

The truth about our government being oppressive

Oppression by charity and benevolence

Oppression

Unjust or cruel exercise of authority or power; A sense of being weighed down in body or mind.

Charity

Generosity and helpfulness especially towards the needy or suffering; also :aid given to those in need.

Benevolence

Marked by or disposed to doing good ; organized for the purpose of doing good.

In our modern society it has gotten to be clear that our Government has started to become oppressive to those they have sworn to protect and defend. By over taxation, imposition of fees and penalties and establishment of regulation our Government stifles the pursuit of happiness by those I call the "doers", in a free society. Because of this there are many more people who lose the spirit to strive for success and happiness. The result is a need to do something about those that made a deliberate choice to put as little energy into their lives as others. In the past people like that fell by the wayside, today they are pandered to by a politician who wants the votes. They start programs of entitlement that are basically a type of government charity.
This charity is abused at so many levels, between looter classes that pass on the secrets of how to bilk the system. To the administrators who are as liable for the fraud for giving approval for entitlements to obvious looters. All in the name of being charitable to what many call the needy, when it's obvious that it is too easy to be charitable with other people’s money. We are oppressing the doers by taking from them, putting weight on them to produce and be profitable so that their success can be shared with the looters in the name of charity. To the doers our government says now that you have done well and produced a profit you will pay that to the looters who don't make profit for themselves or others. This is oppression!!! People in the government and many in the populous say, but we are in support of this because it's only being done in the name of helping others and this shows how benevolent the government is. Yet how can this government be benevolent and oppressive?
It is wrong for the government to say if you are profitable we will take your money from you and give it to those they choose.
Is this government benevolent? I say no, it is the obvious contradiction to benevolence because to take from one to give to others without the choice is oppressive. Your law abiding doer understands that, government taxes to be able maintain infrastructure as well as defend the populous. It is not even part of the equation it is part of the oldest agreement in the country. After that for the government to come and take from you to do charity to others in the name of benevolence, is oppression.

My suggestion for healthcare changes

How about instead of a government plan (call it what you want it is still run by the government), why not really fix the problem of people loosing it all because of the cost of healthcare. Establish a fund that will provide a tax free and interest free fund to loan money to people who are in a situation where they can't afford to pay for their care. They could pay it back as able, when their position in life inproves the amount would have to be increased. For those who are living alone (elderly) they could pay back their care in a asset sale after their passing. For those who can't afford any means of paying back the government, you would not provide the child tax credit.
Next there needs to be a cost reduction, Tort reform would be essential in reducing cost increases. Set a cost cap for rewards (covering current and future medical care as well as cost of living changes), any punitive fees would go in to the above stated fund.
Allow federal lands to be used by those who want to start up medical facilities in the most needy communities, this would be on a cost free basis as long as that medical facility was used for medicine (not transferable to non-medical business). For those who have disabilities and get government care, allow them to earn what they want while increasing the investigation of fraud.
Pass a law that requires insurance companies to keep any patient who has a change of status unless fraud can be proven (as an example if someone gets cancer the insurance company must keep them during and after). If a insurance company has a client who is found to have had a preexisting condition that is not grounds for dropping them, a new company must take a person with preexisting conditions at the same rate as the previous company but only if the individual left the other comany because of no fault of their own (closure of the previous company).

Mine and Yours

How much of your money is your money and how much of my money is my money? That is a question I had in mind when my twin was talking to our niece, we actually only posed to her the how much of your money is your money part. Yet that was enough to stop her in her tracks when she was talking about our president and what he wanted to do.
Milton Friedman brought up the fact that people don’t spend other people’s money very well, this I think is the core of why the Tea Party movement is building. When we see that our government is wasting billions and wants to start a new program that will insure that hundreds of billions is wasted. The same government that is currently loosing billions in the post office, Amtrak, social security, Medicare/Medicaid, veterans administration and so on. You see you are being pandered to in that the president is saying we are going to make the rich pay more and the savings from other programs is how we will pay for things. First is the falsehood that your taxes were lowered. Do you smoke? Your taxes went up. Do you eat? Your food cost went up. Do you have a house? Your power bill will go up with cap and trade. Yet you’re being told that only the rich will pay more. The only way that the rich pay more is through a increase in income tax, yet when you look at the percentage of the bill it come to you paying a higher percentage than the rich. I say don’t charge anyone more in taxes, find ways to cut the budget. Why do we come up with more programs when we have yet to have a successful one to date?
How much of your money is your money, well you will say it’s all mine. The truth is it doesn’t matter what you say, the government will tell you how much is yours and they even have a czar now to tell you how much you can earn if the government thinks it’s to much. How much of your money is your money? Just ask the government.

The government will control you, your kids will help!

• Control
  In the cash for clunkers there was a section where it would allow for the government to get access to our computers, they you have a bill being worked in the senate to give the white house the power to disconnect private sector computers from the internet. Then you here about the program they had to report people to the white house (flag@whitehouse.gov). Now you have the Government pushing your kids into service, there is a plan for Jan-March to tell your kids about the Census. They are going to get classes prior to the Census so the kids can help get out the information about it. The census is a constitutional requirement; It is in place for a good reason. It helps draw district lines and determines how many people are in the district so you can have proper representation. I just think that the government shouldn’t take advantage of our children. By being trapped in a classroom, they don’t get to see that it is not their job to work for the government. The will assume it is normal, then how much easier will it be to get them to be loyal sheep!
  Our government tells you how to live your life, what foods to eat, how much you can make, how much water you can use per flush and so on. Simply put the government wants to control access to you internet, your house, your kids and you.
  Our current government supported by the liberals want one thing, CONTROL!

Cash for clunkers a good reason to stay away from healthcare

Cash for clunkers is a huge success in that it drove many to get something from the government, that being our tax dollars. So if it is such a success why does it scare the crap out of me? Simply put if many people will flock to a government program that gives them a discount, what will they do when the government takes over healthcare and gives it away for free (at tax payer expense of course). You see the people went to the dealers and got what they thought would be a good deal, they are now finding that the money they saved will be shown as income so they will have to pay taxes on it! The dealers are still trying to get through the huge amount of paper work and many may get stiffed, but hey you went further in debt and got the car you wanted.
Here is the healthcare angle; if the government is telling us that it will cost $1.5 Trillion dollars to insure everyone do you really think that is an accurate amount, when they couldn’t even budget for a billion dollar program.
Next don’t you think the looters of the world will take advantage of the health care and run the tab up? The mentality of getting something for nothing is so pervasive in our culture that it is guaranteed that people who don’t need it will get it just to have it, this of course will make supplies and providers scarce and drive up prices.
The example of what people do when you give them a discount is a great one to show healthcare won’t work, why not get to the root of the problem? Tort reform, that changes to a looser pays system and caps on rewards. Next support better funding for the systems that are already in place like the County Health department (note I have had people give bad reviews of service provided), last start bringing criminal charges against people who knowingly are perpetrating a fraud against the Medicare, Social security or any other agency (example: false disabilities).

Ayn Rand

I have recently finished the book, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I have to say that it is the most profound book I have ever read! It reads like a novel based off of our current situation, yet it was written in the 40-50's. Is it that the times she wrote of then has come around again? We have those who produce, they are the ones who make things succeed. Then we have the looters who drain and abuse the ability of the producers. I have been thinking about the book ever since I read it, I have a wish to be a producer and not a looter or anything near that. My next biggest fear is that I will not have enough influence to convince my children to do the harder thing of being a producer. Can I make them aware of those out there that will drain them of their right to success? It is funny how the work of those in the past can still be so relevant.

I still can't get a answer

The question i have is if government can't run cash for clunkers. HOW CAN IT RUN HEALTH CARE, there are so many things that are broken with government don't you think we should try to fix whats broken.
