America under attack

I think we have to face it, with Czars, government take over of the economy, the push to have judges who are empathetic, and an ideal that we can make friends with everyone. We are screwed, we are truly to the core screwed until that leader comes out of the shadows. Some of us hope it's Palin and some of us hope it's Huckabee. But the key, is that we need someone who has the plans. who can lay out a way to make it easier to be successful and raise you family. That person will be from the grassroots, he or she will be Conservative and most of all, that individual will be an example for all to follow, just like Reagan was!

Local Stimulus

Stimulus.I read in The Chronicle the other day, it said that 8.1 million dollars of the Stimulus will be used here in Citrus County. At first I thought that well, even though I am against the Stimulus. I am at least glad that it is being spent in our local community. Then I saw what I assumed to be illegal aliens doing work on the side of the road.

It made me think that the government's bailout is just covering up a problem and will only marginally help. Next I wondered who is going to get that money? It seems that the American people have just not thought about it, that the stimulus is supposed to help Americans. Yet if the majority of the work force on the roads are illegal aliens, (my belief) who will get the profits? Will the millions in stimulus now be the stimulus that goes to help Mexico?

Resurfacing the roads is a good metaphor for this situation in that the government is just putting a nice coating over the real problem. The government made it so that everyone could get a house, sending the home builders into over drive. Then the people bought more home then they truly could afford. The economy crashed causing the government to come in and take our money so they could spend it on programs that don’t really help. We don’t need a stimulus or a second stimulus; we need a change of government. We need to get government out of our homes, out of our pockets and out of our way, because the real stimulus will come from us the average American citizen. Something you can’t pave over!

More Stimulus?

Stimulus packet number two on the way? It has been in the news lately that there are people who work for the President that are suggesting the first stimulus didn't have enough money in it and we should have a second. Are you kidding me? There is so much fraud, waste and abuse, it makes the hundred dollar hammer of the 80's seem like chump change. When will the Government realize that you can't spend your way out of trouble, you need to correct the corruption that was inspired by the likes of Reid, Pelosi, Frank and all the others who ignored Fanny and Freddy. Time to stop believing the people who promise everything and give nothing and leave you wanting something, Fred Thompson didn't want the job and offered nothing. Now that was the guy I wanted, he wanted to fix the problem not add things to the programs!

Join the Tea Party Movement. Write someone (friends, family, the local papers, and your politicians) and tell them to stop the stimulus pay offs and pandering to those who just want "free" stuff from the government.

a message

People have said that the media doesn't pay us (the Tea Party Movement) any attention, that we don't have a message. I have a message for all politicians, that message is Mr. President. Stay out of our Homes, out of our pockets and out of our way! We will save America. Just a thought.

p.s. I hate when I write things late at night and find out in the morning I misspelled something.

The right time to read

I am currently reading a book, it is Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. It is a book that was right for it's time (1950's) and seems to once again be the right book to read to understand what is going on. I know the book asks who is John Galt, I havent gotten to that point yet I just hope that my daughter can be the Dagny Taggert of our day! I have been asked to do another speech for the next Tea Party Movement, I would like suggestions for what is the highest priority.

Thanks.

Tea Party thanks

I enjoyed the Tea Party this past saturday and want to take a moment to say thanks! A movement that is run by the people and for the people is not easy to run and I want to thank Edna Mattos first of all. Edna is the local driving force behind this movement and spends many hours of selfless effort in making this happen. People like Edna prove it is the Everyday citizens who are what make america great.Second a and individual who wa afforded the chance to speak I want to thank those who also got up to speak, I know it was not easy to get up there and I am glad I was not the only one. Next I want to thank the nearly 1000 people who showed up for the event on a very hot sunny Florida day. You are the ones who are making this morement great and you are the reason we will be successful. Last and just as improtant I want to give a very personal and loving thanks to my wife, twin, family and firends. your support has made it possible for me to get out in front of people and say what I hope is what we think is important.
Thank you so very much to each and everyone who helped orginize this event, who spoke, who stood and watched and who supported those who support the movement.

Cap and Trade, good for who?

We bring oil out of the ground, ship it, and sell it to make the engine that is our economy keep going. The Cap and Trade will increase the cost of fuel for each of us and the Government tells us this is good.
Cap and Trade will make our electric bill go up, it will cost more to manufacture, to store things in warehouse (both at the manufactures and at the distribution centers), and cost more to keep it at the store. This will make everyday bills go up, but the government tells us it's a good thing?
At the end of the year when you have spent more on going to get your food, more for your food and more to run your refrigerator to keep your food cold it will finally become more apparent that each and everyone of us will being paying more. The lies that you were told about how they just wanted to raise taxes on the rich is going to be very obvious.
We teach our kids to pinch pennies and save their dollars, yet our dollars are taxed at every level and now our pennies will be stolen out of our pockets.
We no longer need to have milk jugs in the corner of the bed room, nothing will go into it! That extra special gift that we would have gotten for our kids will not be bought.
The manufacturers will not have to make as many of the products as they did before, and they will not have to keep that many people employed. Cap and Trade it's what the government says is good for you.

Where did the representative republic go? It has died off to Democracy, this was predicted by our forfathers because they knew that the most dangerous thing is when a person thinks they have the right to other peoples money.
They talked about how mob rule was a bad thing, because when you give the people the option to grant themselves free things they will. We are now leaderless, the people in congress only worry about how they can either stay in power or how they can build a legacy. The desicions being made now are only made by polls, not by the strength of character of our leader! How was our american populous so easily fooled.



work in progress.

Greed good Criminal bad

Greed (excessive or rapacious desire, esp. for wealth or possessions)
This word is to easy to use but to hard to admit. See the problem is that everyone says that the other person who has more is greedy and they assume that they are not. The truth is that if we are willing to admit it, we all want more. We want more pay, a bigger house, a nicer car, more vacation time and just about everything we can. We usually say we don’t want anything for free but so many people are asking for government aid and living off of the kindness of churches and other aid organizations.
I have only met one or two people in my life who did not want more.
Our esteemed publisher of the Citrus County Chronicle (who I do think does a very good job), talked recently about the possible end of greed. I hope that I miss read what he said, I know that when people take advantage of others it is criminal. When someone try’s to make as much as they can for their effort is living the American dream, it is not greed. I hope that if the Chronicle readership was to increase and the board decided to give Gerry Mulligan a raise he would take it, if the readership expanded by a huge number and the board decided on another raise he would take it. This of course would (wrongly) be looked at by those who are not getting pay raises as greed, but the truth is it is the American dream.
I just hope that each boss I have is greedy enough to keep me in a job and greedy enough to make the business profitable. I hope that we can get the criminal out of business (just like they did with Bernie Madhoff) and get people to understand that earning money is good. The more you earn the better it is for everyone, this jealousy of others (read wealth envy) has got to stop! We need to teach our kids to try to be and frugal and as hard earning as possible. The combination of these two things can help people be happier in their life. Greed, I say we need more of it.

A time of prosperity

The election of 2008 has guaranteed a time of prosperity, growth, freedom and openness like never seen before.
I believe that the time for people like Rep. Murtha to pilfer the government coffers to build his narcissistic need is here, he now has more money to spend on pork projects in the name of Rep. Murtha. Oh how prosperous he is now that he has a president in office that will sign off on anything he asks for.
The growth of government is now at a rate not seen since the FDR years, we are now making the government responsible for each of us, from cradle to grave. America elected a person to come in and change things, what they really wanted was someone who could turn things back to the days of prosperity. They didn't want a completee reworking of our country. The people I know who changed sides so to speak, did so because they said "something needs to change" and now they say "well I guess we need to give him more time.
Freedom of foreign governments to spit in the face of those who try to help and those who want to see people live free. The freedom to shoot their own people down in the streets, the freedom to kidnap and oppress the media. the freedom to not have the pressure of the world led by the U.S.A. on their back saying hey your treating your people wrong.
Our president has gaurenteed more freedoms for dictators and tyrants then they have ever had. Openness for people like the leaders of Iran and North Korea to seek nuclear weapons and sell them to the highest bidder.

This is a work in progress. Suggestions and thoughts
