Progressivism Versus Conservatism. A Fight To The Finish.

One of the things that has made this country so great among other nations, is the first amendment to the US Constitution:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

This part of our bill of rights was so important in the eyes of the founders, that it was given top billing. First in the stack so to speak. Without freedom of speech and freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom to gather and to petition the government for a *redress of grievances, we would be living under the thumb of our government. These were wise men and they each knew what happens when your government becomes so powerful, that you live in fear of it.

* Redress:
redress v. 1. To set right, remedy or rectify. 2. To make amends for. n. 1. Satisfaction for wrong done; reparation. 2. Correction.

So where are we at now? It appears that the very government that we have been the beneficiaries of, for so long is going askew. It has overgrown its boundaries and we are no longer in control of it, it on the other hand is controlling us. The very basic rights guaranteed to Americans, under the US Constitution are being continually put to the test and assaulted by what seems to be a leftist ideology. Is this conspiracy theory? Lets take a closer look and see.

Since it became all too apparent that this administration was veering away from it’s pre-election selling points of being a centrist and a uniter, with transparency in government and a post racial miracle cure, along with some hopey-changy B.S., followed by government takeovers of almost everything that makes money in this country and the insane squandering of our hard earned taxpayers dollars (mine too damn it!) via; TARP and pork-u-lus coupled with the arrogant attitude emanating from Washington which has been quite simply stated: “we are screwing you and there is not a hell-of-a-lot thing that you can do about it!” It is no wonder that mainstream America finally pulled their collective head’s out of the sand and screamed out loud; “WTF!” I know that I did and probably you too if you are reading this. To put it in simple, easy to understand language, that even a liberal can understand, you have pushed us to the breaking point and we are pissed!

My America, that I love so dearly, has been torn apart by this renegade administration and big brother is moving deeper into your and my life, than at any time in past history. This is what happens when you turn your backs on progressives and neglect to mind the store. They are thieves. They will steal you and I blind, right under our very nose if you let them. They have stolen our prosperity, our freedoms and our moral values.

Out of all of this chaos that they created, a movement arose; “The Tea Party.” Mainstream Americans that stood up finally and said; “we have had enough!” Now, look at it closely. Is it really a party? Not in the political party sense, or at least not yet. It is however doing something that is scaring the crap out of the progressives; it is growing. GROWING! They would love for it to just go away, back to what it was when they first took over DC. They have been so used to passing legislation without any thought of a backlash, that it just seemed normal to them. This is nothing new under the sun folks. They have been doing this for many years, you were just not paying attention.

~Honorable Mention ~

• Prohibition. They decided for you, that you did not need to take a drink any more. That went over real well. It Started the gangster wars and made law abiding citizens into common criminals. It also made a few people very wealthy. Like: the Kennedy’s.
• The gold standard. Once was a time when our currency was backed up by gold, in the federal depository. That is history. Now we just print more money when we run out. I wish that I could do that at home!
• Income tax. That was a great one!
• Social Security. Truly a marvelous plan, the only thing was; there was all of this un-spent money just laying there, what a great opportunity for the Feds. (They won’t even notice, if we take just a bit to pay some of our bills with.) It’s broke now and yes we noticed.

• Remember prayer in school? They took that away and you said; “okay we didn’t really need that anyways, it’s okay.”
• Welfare, social entitlements and affirmative action. Don’ t even get me started. The first one has sucked this country dry. Whatever happened to working for a living?
• Cut the military budget to balance the budget. That is how the progressives operate best. Spend more money than we have on entitlements, raise taxes and cut the military budget to pay for it. Who needs National Security anyways. Right? Clinton and his staff excelled in this.
• TARP
• Obama-Care. A Ponzi scam, to beat all Ponzi scams. A total lie from beginning to end.
• Immigration Policy. Or lack of a policy, is drying up the economies of many of our individual states. Their hospitals are overcrowded, law enforcement is taxed, our jails are full of illegals costing us a fortune and I have to press one for English. That in it self is ridiculous.

So “The Tea Party” has been born. Opposition in the form of Conservatism. The antithesis of progressivism. It has stuck in their craw and they are screaming out loud. Bigots! Racists! Anti- Americans! Brown Shirts! Home-grown Terrorists! Hard to defend yourself against all of those lies isn’t it? What are we really? Americans mostly. Working people, young and old, black and white, Some Asian and some Hispanic. People from all walks of life.

We have been asleep at the wheel way too long. The progressives will destroy this country, if left unchecked. You lose your liberties a little bit at the time and you are lulled into that; it will be alright mentality. Look what happened in less than two years. That really is nothing, compared to what has been happening all along. We let it happen. Look folks, it’s like this; the other side never rests. They keep on pushing their agenda regardless. They have been, for a very long time.

Our founding fathers were very smart and wise men. Notice that freedom of speech and religion are in the first amendment. Ahh…but the second amendment is the eye catcher!

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Why do you suppose that was next in importance? I will tell you why. In case the first amendment is violated. A well armed public is a deterrent to a government out of control. They know that all too well. So ask yourself this; what amendment have they been trying to get rid of the most? You guessed it. The second amendment. Think it cannot happen? Guess again.

So what is next on this administrations agenda? Want to make any bets? Stand up for your liberty. Teach your children about patriotism and the founding fathers of this great nation. Teach your children about the sanctity of the family and honor. Teach them to be ever alert to the dangers of apathy. Most of all; VOTE! Know your candidates and vote, every single election is important. It is your duty as an American citizen. Let this be a wake up call.

An Open Letter To Our President

Dear President Obama,

I am currently in possession of a great amount of money that I would like to donate to help reduce the size of our deficit. It took a huge undertaking on my part to raise this much money, approximately $3.5 billion. I worked very hard to earn it and had to whack a few people along the way (sorry…hope you understand). I rationalized this due to the current devalued dollar, that you have so graciously given the American people, for all of their hard work and sacrifices building this country into what it was, until you came along an reduced it to what it is now.

I will be sending this money to you, as soon as I can figure out how to transfer it from the Mafia Wars Bank, to the Federal Reserve Bank (maybe you could help a brother out and arrange for Mr. Bernanke to help with the transfer). I hope your Trusted Secretary of the Treasury; Mr. Geitner will take it easy on me with the taxes, oh and please don’t tell him where it all came from, so I don’t get audited.

Thank you for all you have done to my country,
(I will be talking to you and your friends again, around November of this year)

Sincerely,
The Last Patriot and a few hundred millon constituents, that are just a tad upset with your ass.

Crisis Mode

The past year in congress has been a very busy one. The rush to pass legislation based on the call; a crisis is looming. Everything was a crisis. The economy was in a crisis. The banking industry was in a crisis. Even the environment was in a crisis. Then there was the H1N1 crisis. The call sign for the new administration: CRISIS. There seemed to be no end to all the crisis’ that we were in all of a sudden and there seemed to be a lot of statistics to back it all up. Not to mention multiple speeches on the subject. This administration is all about…the crisis. It is amazing at the amount of attention that one can garner at the mere mention of the word; crisis.

The wrapper wasn’t even off of the new package, that was just voted in, and off we went! Hurry up and pass the stimulus! We are in a crisis! Sadly, I don’t recall the crisis being that significant, until the “C” word was uttered out loud. Our congressmen jumped on board the crisis train and never once bothered to glance back. They looked in utter amazement towards the public, because; we didn’t get it! And after many unapologetic speeches, that accused us of being everything from simple-minded to brown shirts, in the wake of the stimulus and now healthcare, the salesmanship kicked in. I recall several republicans commenting with remorse, on what they had just voted for, without fully understanding the consequence or for that matter even the simple act of actually reading the bill and its fine print! Nearly one trillion dollars, all with the stroke of a pen. Then on with the next crisis! It seemed to be the end of all things as we knew it!

I may act a bit crazy now and again but, I am not stupid! What do they take us for? Do you remember, all the Doctors that showed up on the Whitehouse lawn for that big rally in support of the healthcare fiasco? Mysteriously, they all seemed to be fashionably coördinated! What were the odds of all of them showing up with their white lab coats on? Astoundingly high, I would venture to say. Before the political commentary was even on the air, I remarked, ”who do they think they are kidding? What a hoax!” Then only to find out a day later that the Whitehouse staff, passed out the lab coats at the meeting. DUHH?! Did they actually believe that the majority of us couldn’t see right through that? That event epitomized; transparency. The Whitehouse actually believed that all of us are so incredibly dumb, that we would buy into that little dog and pony show! It took my breath away to feel so completely belittled, in that way!

Now that the elections in New Jersey, Virginia and Massachusetts are over and a clear message has been sent to those in DC wearing the clown suits. They still look at us with utter contempt! Over 1.3 million angry voters turned out on their front door step, back on 9-12, and they still could not figure out why we were so angry. Now who is being stupid? They are lost in some sort of alternate reality somewhere. They believe that ruining the economy of this great nation is what it is going to take to get us out of this crisis. They believe that they are our saviors and that only they can right all the wrongs that society has dealt us! How dare we stand up to them!

All of the back room deals and outright bribery, that was used to get the worst piece of legislation in the history of our pathetic leaders up on the hill, shed a brilliant light on what our system of government has mutated into. The members of congress should be ashamed of themselves for being so blind and so arrogant, to the will of the majority of Americans, that pay their salaries! Have they forgotten who put them there in the first place? Have they forgotten who they work for? What will it take for them to snap back to reality and realize what they are doing?

The liberals sit back and point their fingers across the aisle at the republicans who would not bow down to their demands for quick action, and have the audacity to say that they would sit by and do nothing while the crisis looms on!

They are correct in one respect; there is a crisis at hand. The fact that we are fast losing our rights and freedoms at the hands of a few arrogant politicians, that think that we need to be told what to do and how to do it, without voicing our opinions. This is what you would expect in a Marxist Society, not in the greatest democratic nation on the face of the earth. The one thing that this country is famous for, rising to the cause in the face of a crisis is coming. The elections are in November, that will spell the end of their pitiful attempt to change this country. Let all who are PATRIOTS, rise to the occasion and send a clear message to Washington. This behavior will no longer be tolerated and you sirs, are dismissed!!!!

Ronald Reagan on Socialized Medicine

Do you think that Socialized Medicine is a new discussion? This issue is one that will not go away. It has been around for many years. Listen to what Ronald Reagan had to say about it in 1961 as a private citizen.
