Tea Party a success

The Citrus County Tea Party was a resounding success, it got grass roots individuals out front and allowed by applause and a few less then positive responses let people know that they are not willing to put up with how things are. it was once again a very polite group but it also was so evadent it is time for answers, not just platitued or pandering. We need to start that next step of where to go, this Tea Party is slowly coming to it's end and the people are looking for what is next.

A bad shift.

The war has begun to shift from America being hated because we are standing up for ourselves while actually being proactive in killing or defeating the Terrorist around the world. To one of being scoffed at for our apologetic attitude and losing the war by turning the war into a law enforcement problem.

You see the CIA has in the past, been neutered by people in the Democratic Party who wanted us to not deal with criminals and recently by taking actions against our own agents because they interrogated enemy combatants (who by law could have been shot on the spot).

People are complaining that there has been a major error in not catching the Christmas bomber, the failure is being laid at the feet of the intelligence services as a way to detract from the truth. The truth is that we have chosen a president that doesn’t see the war on radical Islamic terrorist as what it is, a global war of domination in the name of a religion.

Instead he sees it as an image problem and one in which we can sit with our friends and talk the situation over, many thought that after the president went on Al Jazera and to the middle east we would see less of an effort to attack and kill Americans (boy were we wrong).

After 9/11 and the decision to actually fight the war as a war and as a covert action was made and in that people realized that we seriously lacked in the fields of human intelligence around the world.

The CIA made a huge push to get people on staff that are highly educated (college is a must), and young. They now have the problem of these young, inexperienced groups of people, agents that are pushed to have results in numbers not in quality. The field officers are station chiefs at each and every embassy, it is guaranteed that one of them were in the room when this Christmas bombers.

But because of our president’s attitude, do you think that there was a great amount of drive to get this information where it needed; instead it was most likely just getting the information in a already overloaded system.

Not only was the system overloaded with info but could you imagine that the person dealing with this guys father actually making a push to get him (the bomber) picked up by the feds and then find out that the father was wrong?

Because of his lack of experience and the president’s attitude his life as a CIA agent would be over, he would have been sent packing and worse yet he would have been called a Republican.

We need to get back to fighting the war on terror, focus on the DOD model of action and quality over quantity. Stand behind our men in the intelligence services and maybe just maybe we still have a chance to do a Patraeus / McCrystal surge to victory.

No is the way to say YES

NO! NO! NO! As a parent that is the most common thing I say as a way to show my love and concern for my kids. No to Drugs, no to Drinking and Driving, basically no to foolish habits like those and even frivolous spending all of which will cause them to have a bad life. The Republicans have been called the party of No and the truth is I am ok with that, because I love my country and just like I do my kids it is time to tell our politicians NO!

No is actually the way to say YES to a better future for our children and also to help our country recover. I as the parent am not here to be my kid’s friend, it is my responsibility to be the parent and teach the difference between right and wrong. I am not here to be my elected officials’ friend; politicians have become like spoiled kids and have no clue what the word no is. It has become our job to be the parent in this situation and to teach them the lesson of right and wrong by telling those in elected office NO!

We have an electorate that is like your average teenager who will tell his or her parents how to do everything as if they are smarter than the parents.

Like a parents biggest fear of their kids getting hooked on drugs and alcohol. Our politicians are high on power and drunk with spending and have formed the bad habits of ignoring the will of the people (their parents). We need to talk to our politicians and tell them (possibly in the same way we speak to our children) that over spending is bad for you and will make everyone’s life harder.

The media has made it sound like saying no is the only thing that the conservative movement is doing. For the media who is a propaganda machine for this President, the first thing we conservatives do is say no. No to big spending increases, no to the take over of the economy by the government and no the encroachment of the government into every aspect of our daily lives. Put a stop to the deeper corruption of our government by saying no, only after the politicians learn that lesson can we say “YES”, yes to real answers that will solve this situation. And if not then we need to look to the 2010 elections and say no to those who can’t understand the destruction they are doing. Hopefully a politician will read this and say “how repetitive”, because if they do then my job is done. It is repetition that I use to drill the point home for my kids. NO! NO! NO!

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).

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.
