I've been away and have been terribly busy... but I just saw a You Tube video that set me on fire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PvYGG22N7o&feature=player_embedded

I like that last phrase and I think I shall use it... a lot. I've been watching the spring/summer elections and you can see it starting. America IS rising... up against those who would make us like Europe... rising up against those who rule us but hate us... rising up against the tyranny of those who want to change the very core of our lives, our country's beginnings.

America IS rising. Liberals railed against the 'evil' Republicans when in fact, it was they who pulled the strings. G W Bush may have been the president but it was liberals like Reid, Frank, Pelosi, and Dodd who set us on this path to destruction. Bush went wobbly his last year in office but by that time, the trap had been set.

Obama has done ONE good thing... he has awakened good Americans who thought their government would treat them fairly and serve them. Obama has made them see he fully intends to make citizens serve government. Guess what Barack? You are wrong!!! It starts in November, 2010. It culminates November, 2012.

Watch out Barack. America IS rising!

Freedom Fridays! Speech

This was the speech I gave at Beef-O-Grady's tonight, Friday, May 13th at the first Freedom Fridays event. Regular readers may see a common and reoccurring thought. The Freedom Friday website is: http://freefris.blogspot.com


When Brad asked me what ‘tag’ I wanted after my name in the press release, I hesitated and told him I didn’t have a real ‘tag’ and that I was just some one trying to use some common sense… and he ran with it. My motto has become. Not racist, not violent, just not silent any more!

With that in mind, I’ve been trying to find the ‘common sense’ in what is happening in Washington lately. Common sense might tell the average Washington political creature the people oppose their actions... but for some reason, they continue. Polls consistently show 60 to 65% of the American public is against the healthcare scam… but the Liberals pushed it through anyway. Hmmm.

The so called ‘Arizona bill’ shows consistent 70 to 75% APPROVAL and the Liberals are against it and are working to punish Arizona for trying to take care of its citizens. Ten other states are working to enact similar bills and Liberals are appalled. Hmmm.

The Obama administration is grabbing and tying up billions of acreage in the western United States and quite ironically, most of that acreage has huge, proven oil and natural gas reserves. This land grab will stop drilling for those energy reserves. Liberals think that is alright. Hmmm.

Nancy Pelosi announced Wednesday she is pushing to give all illegal immigrants amnesty. She calls it a ‘path to legalization. I’ll bite Nancy. Let’s ship them all back to their country of origin and drop them off at the US Consulate so they can apply for a proper visa. What is wrong with THAT path of legalization? Hmmmm?

I could go on but this was to be only two minutes so allow me to give the Liberals one bit of fatherly advice. Don’t urinate on my leg and tell me it is raining. It is time for NORMAL Americans to stand up and speak out. REMEMBER: No coward has ever been short of good reasons to do nothing.

Someone asked me about Elena Kagan tonight. I told them I only have two reasons not to support her:

1. The First Amendment.
2. The Second Amendment.

Back to you Marv.

I've been away the past ten days or so but that doesn't mean I wasn't paying attention to the news. This article in the NY Daily News http://tinyurl.com/27kpzqe made me laugh... not because it was funny but rather because of some of the quotes.

It seems President Obama wants to slash the NYC anti terrorism budget by 53 million bucks. The very same President Obama is headed to NYC to meet with the policemen who saw the would be bombers vehicle and sounded the alarm. If you have never been to NYC, you have no clue as to the huge cost it will take to shut down the city streets so he can travel there safely. Let's not even begin to talk about the inconvenience to city drivers. Times Square traffic is horrible.

Can you guess who is crying FOUL! right now? Yeah, my favorite idiot, Chuck U Schumer, NY Senator. Obama wants to come to town to thank the police for thwarting the bombing. While I agree, they did great work in evacuating the area, in reality, the bomb was not thwarted, it was bungled. Had the bomb been done right, the area President Obama wants to visit wouldn't be there now.

I have friends in 'the City' and in near by Brooklyn and they are aghast at the happenings there lately. Take this exactly how I mean it... you reap what you sow. Obama had no experience, serving about 153 days in the Senate before assuming the most powerful (well at least when he took the seat it was the most powerful) seat in the world. Prior to that, he was a Chicago politician or a thug as they call them in that town.

Liberals, and by Liberal, I don't always include Democrats as the two are not always the same, figured they had the world by the short hairs when they elected one of their own. I guess they figured the war Obama was going to wage was going to be waged on evil Republican and conservatives. Guess again hey Senator Schumer and fellow Obama worshipers?

Which leads me to the crux of my speech this Friday night in Sebring. I watch the ultra liberal wing of the Democrat party wholesale stomping on every thing and every one. Ask Chuck Schumer about that one. What politician deliberately goes around urinating on every citizen he can find? I can think of a couple options.

One: Obama has cracked under the stress and the confines of not being able to get out when and where he pleases and thus, he has become disorientated. This might account for some of the erratic behavior and speeches he has given.

Two: This is by design. Since the early 1900's, "Progressives" have been trying to install a socialist agenda into law in the US. Woodrow Wilson and liberal hero, Franklin D Roosevelt were masters at slipping the agenda into law.

This is getting a bit long so I'll finish this thought later on tonight.

As much as it seems to me that this topic is in the news and despite how often Glenn Beck has lectured about it, I am amazed how few people know exactly what or who planned the "Cloward–Piven strategy." I was talking with some people today about the reckless abandon Obama and the ultra liberal members of Congress seem to use in pursuing what I see as devastating for the country as I know it.

We were discussing it and I mentioned that Obama and crew were using the classic Cloward–Piven strategy to bring about the 'fundamental transformation of America" had threatened during his campaign. They had no concept of Cloward or Piven.

I am on 'vacation' right now but for those of you old enough to remember it, recall the NY Daily News November October 30th, 1975 headline, "FORD TO CITY: DROP DEAD!" The ordeal that brought the city of New York to its knees was brought about by Richard Cloward and Frances Piven. The goal was to create a 'national guaranteed annual income.' In other words, they were looking to increase the welfare rolls in an effort to over burden the local budget and bring about a change in the system.

The concept was originally outlined in 1966 and used to some success on a small scale and once placed into action in NYC, the city went broke, just as hoped and planned. Unlike Obama, then President Ford refused to bail out the city. The move cost him the 1976 election to Jimmy Carter, a mistake America quickly and resoundingly righted the next go around with the election of Ronald Reagan.

Until the party was split by Ross Perot, he of the "Can I finish?" rhetoric, the Republican party had a lock on things for at least another eight years or longer. They allowed things to get out of focus and thus lost control. There is a lesson for 2012 here. Don't take your eye off the prize in November 2010 while we look for the right person in 2012.

Until next time.

"The Americans will always do the right thing... after they've exhausted all the alternatives." - Winston Churchill.

Consider this: We exhausted our alternatives in the 2006 and the 2008 election cycles. We allowed candidates that felt 'reaching across the aisle' was a good thing despite the fact that it was always an unilateral move. We allow the complicit media to choose our nominee for president while most of us knew he not only was a RINO at best but also came with heavy baggage, such as the "Keating Five" scandal.

Perhaps Americans will see it is time to do the right thing and elect a congress that will at least slow down the descent into socialism and set us up for an election in 2012 that will allow us to reverse the damage done to date.

As I think I've said before, my candidate must pledge to begin to undo all of this nonsense on the first day and in the first hours of their inauguration day. We must demand one of the first acts be the release of all that oil and gas laden acreage in the Montana/Colorado/Wyoming/Utah/Nevada area and allow careful drilling and recovery of our own resources vs making us dependent on the oil cartels. We must demand immediate reversal of the health scam bill and all that went with it. The list could on for days but you get the idea.

Keep your heart and spirit uplifted and lets look to November 2010 and beyond.

Remember in November. Wow... this video stirred the old blood pressure! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3APuNTmqbDY

First, my pledge, which I am placing at the beginning of every post from here on out:

Not Racist
Not Violent
Just not Silent Anymore!

I collect thoughtful quotes and stumbled across this one by Shel Silverstein: "In a world full of apples and kisses and shoes, Lester wasted his wishes on wishing."

At first blush it seems like a lesson for children... and it is a lesson for children but it holds a plan for us as well. We can wish that the elections in November will prove America and Americans will regain their common sense. We can hope to stop the socialization of our great Republic... but if you want it to happen, you best get off your backside and get busy because the 'revolution' begins with you.

Another way to look at it in a quotation? It is better to light a single candle than to sit and curse the darkness.

Not Racist
Not Violent,
Just not silent anymore!

Thoughts of Patriots of the past:

Samuel Adams: If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams: The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.

Patrick Henry: Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.... O sir, we should have fine times, indeed, if to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to assemble the people!

See ya at the rally folks!
