I have not thought about this… GREAT POINTS!!
I now have a more enhanced understanding on healthcare bill after watching this!!
This 5 minute video really captures it all.
Please watch it and share!
Concluding question…
What did you learn? If this is the best Montana has to offer… then they are not so bright.
Up Next – Fly Naked – Part II
If you have not been keeping up with developments regarding the ALLEGED recent bombing attempt that ALLEGEDLY occurred on Northwest Flight #253 then you are missing quite the circus. (More on that in the next post.)
In my most humble opinion I offer you my thoughts on how to insure something like this never happens again – and for that matter – reduces the risks of bombs on planes virtually altogether: FLY NAKED!
In all reality our choices are becoming less and less. As I see it, the government seems to react to each incident and punish the innocent. The shoe bomber is the reason you take off your shoes and put your toothpaste in a bag and 9-11 man made disaster specialists are the reason you can’t bring on fingernail clippers.
Here are our choices from this point forward:
What? Did you say profile? Ron – are you an extremist?
No – I am a realist!
Oh wait, I forgot one. Government take over of the airline industry. Once Obama reaches out to the extremists all of this will stop.
For now… Fly Naked!
Since July 2009 I have spoken at a wide variety of political events. I have made a point to keep my message simple and consistent - get involved and make a difference.
Almost without fail - I am asked “what can we do for this country?”
My answer – get your head out of the sand and get involved. EVEN IF IT SCARES YOU and EVEN IF YOU THINK IT UNIMPORTANT.
So, what do I want for Christmas 2010?
Now if you did not get me a Christmas gift this year, please don’t feel to bad. What I would like you do is donate to worthy conservatives to help get this nation back on track! (Notice I did not say Republicans, I said conservatives!)
My Christmas 2010 target list:
Number 1 – GENE GREEN MUST GO! Gene has lost his way. A once blue dog minded democrat, he is now a full blown left of center liberal. His opponent is Frank Mazzapica. Frank needs you. He needs you NOW, not the week before the election, not the week of the election… HE NEEDS YOU NOW. Most importantly, he needs your financial help.
I am fully endorsing Frank!
I have met Frank and had several conversations with him.
His website is http://www.mazzapica4congress.com/meet_mazz.html and he needs your help. If you live in a conservative district, then send some of your political capital to Frank… he needs it and GENE GREEN must go!
Number 2 – SHEILA JACKSON LEE MUST GO! What a gut wrenching embarrassment she is to the greater Houston area. Every time she speaks I want to put fireworks in my ears and light them.
Her opponent is John Faulk. John needs you. He needs you NOW, not the week before the election, not the week of the election… HE NEEDS YOU NOW. Most importantly, he needs your financial help.
I am fully endorsing John! I have met John and in fact, stood beside him at a Shelia Jackson Lee town hall gathering.
His website is http://www.faulkforcongress.org/index.html and he needs your help. If you live in a conservative district that is under control, then send some of your political capital to John… he needs it and SHEILA JACKSON LEE – hailing from Houston Texas - must go!
Number 3 and 4….
There are two more targets for whom I will announce endorsements shortly. I have not vetted their opponents to my satisfaction. I will tell you now though that:
Number 3 – CHET EDWARDS MUST GO! If this is the best Aggie land can do then it is time for some tea sips to takeover!
Number 4 – LAMAR SMITH MUST GO! One word for this man – COWARD!
You know, I am more upset about the lack of integrity from our elected servants than I am about the healthcare bill. Well, maybe not, but it adds fuel to the fire!
Their lack of ethics and and sleazy behavior is no longer acceptable. It is time to remove many of them as well as their counter parts who sit silently by while we are fiscally raped and pillaged.
BACK ROOM DEALS FOR HEALTHCARE…
Screwing #1…
First is the "Cornhusker Kickback," $100 million in extra Medicaid money, for Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.). He also secured an agreement that his state will not pay for Medicaid coverage for any new recipients – EVER. Yes, forever… they will not pay for new recipients. As a part of the deal, the federal government will pay 100 percent of Nebraska's tab indefinitely for expanding Medicaid for low-income Americans.
Screwing #2…
Second is the "Louisiana Purchase," $100 million in extra Medicaid money for the Bayou State, requested by Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.). Once she was assured of the money, she changed her vote to yes.
Screwing #3…
Third is the “U Con” deal, Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) had written into the legislation $100 million meant for a medical center in his state.
There are more. These are only the highlights.
________________________________________________
For those of you who voted for these idiots and our Idiot in Chief, is this what you voted for?
Where is the open debate?
Where is the bipartisan “reach across the aisle?”
Where is the transparency?
Why do earmarks remain?
Oh, because it was all lies. Mr. President, you are a failure and a disgrace. You are not man enough to carry the shield of title you have been gifted.
It is time for change!
So the other day I go into a tire store near my house. I only needed one tire to replace a flat one on my pollution producing, bad for the environment, Dodge Ram 2500.
As I approach the counter I realize it is only me and the tire dude in the shop. As I walk up I say, “yo’ tire dude… I need that Goodyear 7000. It seems you have it on sale for $99.00.”
He turns and says, “sorry man, you are going to get the Goodyear 10 and it will cost you $650.00. Had you already had the Goodyear 7000 then you could have got it for $99.00 but you don’t - so you will get and pay for what we give you.”
I turn to him and say “sorry man, that cost is out of my league and that tire is not designed for my truck. Looks like I will be driving it on the spare for a few more days. Actually, I think I will just park it in the driveway, that will be my Winter Solstice gift to Al Gore.”
As I turn to walk out of the door I now notice two employees standing between me and the door. One of them looks at me and says “sir, you are confused! You are buying the tire today whether you want it or not. Give me you credit card.” I then notice the other brandishing a tire tool in his hand.
Now surely you can imagine my feeling of fear and chagrin at that moment. In fact, I bet if this had happened to you it would have scared you to death. But I bet as this was happening to me you were home in your cozy warm house, snuggled up by the fire, watching some football OR maybe you were out Winter Solstice shopping OR maybe you were at a soccer game OR maybe you were sleeping OR maybe you were with family celebrating the non-religious holiday season and labeling conservatives as lunatics, OR maybe you had your head shoved in the sand waiting for someone else to save me from my trouble that day and saying nothing like that could ever happen in America!
As I stood at the back door facing two men determined not to let me leave, I looked outside to see a police officer walking into the shop. What a sense of relief that was! As soon as he walked in I proceed to tell him what was happening. To my surprise, he looks at me and says… “Sir, that all sounds fine, but if you don’t buy the tire today I am going to have to arrest and fine you. So why don’t you just shut your mouth and give them your credit card?” He continues, “I know this tire is not the tire you want or need for your truck, but you must buy it or you will go to jail.”
I take a deep breath and asked “WHAT?”
He responds, “the federal government has decided that all vehicles must now use the Goodyear 10. You have no choice. Now the fine Senators and Representatives and the Emperor all use the Goodyear 7000 but It is now a crime for YOU NOT to have a Goodyear 10. It is now punishable with one year in jail and a $25,000.00 fine. I realize the tires of the past have served you well. I realize that you worked hard to pay for them, but not more! That time of luxurious living is over. Everyone now gets the Goodyear 10, it is what is best for us all.”
“Oh great…” I say “well I just will not drive any longer.”
“Sir” he replies, “while that will be a good thing for the environment, the government has also decided that every person in America must own a motorized vehicle or face jail time and a $25,000.00 fine.”
“But I don’t want a government mandated vehicle. And I don’t want to pay for a government mandated vehicle that I don’t want or need. And I don’t want to buy the Goodyear 10 for the truck I don’t want or need. This is an extra vehicle, it is a privilege to have it. I worked hard to pay for it and I will just park it.”
“No sir, you will not. You have have forgotten that we lost that battle with healthcare on the day CONGRESS - for the first time in history - voted to FORCE AMERCIANS TO PAY FOR AND OWN AN ITEM THEY DID NOT WANT. Sir, this is no different.”
“Sir buy the tire and lets have a Merry Winter Solstice.”
To All My LIBERAL Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my
best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wish.
To My Conservative Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year!
READ THIS! READ THIS! READ THIS!
Do not stop reading as this is extremely important for the safety and security of your country.
US Representative Louie Gohmert has introduced H.R. 4127. This is a bill to keep the 9/11 terrorists from being tried in a New York City civilian court.
The power to do this is granted to the House in the Constitution.
See the bill at: http://gohmert.house.gov/index.html
If you do not want to see these men tried in a US civilian court then you must act now.
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL LATER – DO THIS NOW!!
First – call your US Representative and tell them to support HR 4127. You can locate your US representatives contact information at www.congress.org.
Second – call both of your US Senators and tell them you expect them to introduce legislation in the Senate that supports HR 4127.
Third – send a link to this blog or the bill to everyone you know! Challenge them to DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN HOPE it all gets better.
Fourth – if you have a fax – fax your representative and senator now – today – this second.
Read a below for further information!!!
Thursday November 19, 2009
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S.
Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) introduced bill number H.R. 4127 that will prevent self-confessed September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and co-conspirators from being tried in a New York City civilian court with the potential protections and rights of an American citizen. The bill would amend the Military Commissions Act of 2009 to make it mandatory that all foreign terrorists (which under amendments this year are now called “alien unprivileged enemy belligerents”) stand trial in a constitutionally established military commission rather than a civilian court. Rep. Gohmert, a former judge and Ranking Member of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, released the following statement:
"These self-confessed foreign terrorists helped in the planning and efforts to commit the worst assault against the United States in our country’s history, and the Obama Administration wants to treat them as if they are American citizens. They do not even qualify for treatment as combatants under the Geneva Convention. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators do not deserve to be crowned with the rights of an American citizen on American soil. They are war criminals having admitted to international war crimes and having been captured on foreign battlefields. Their trial in a U.S. District Court would create devastating evidentiary complications, and pose an increased risk to the safety of our nation and citizens.
“Our Constitution offers a better answer in seeking justice. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution provides Congress with the authority to establish Tribunals, and such military commissions provide the requisite due process protections and a fair trial. In fact, it is Congress, not the President or Supreme Court, that is given complete authority to establish all courts and their jurisdictions that are inferior to the Supreme Court under Article III, Sections 1 & 2. Therefore, there is simply no adequate reason to bring these terrorists onto American soil and into the heart of our country’s most densely populated city that they mercilessly attacked. The legislation I am offering is completely constitutional while also more in keeping with our oath to protect this nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. It is also a responsibility of the U.S. Congress to offer such a solution to counter the irresponsible judgment of this Administration to voluntarily and unnecessarily bring more fear and terror to New York City.”
Though some officials from Illinois have cited potential new jobs in their area as a reason to bring terrorists stateside, Gohmert does not believe that justifies either the risk of further terrorism or the dangerous precedent of giving war criminals the rights of American citizens.
More than 40 of Congressman Gohmert’s colleagues have already signed on to the bill as original cosponsors, with more expecting to join.

As you know by now the Senate has passed cloture in order to begin debate on the health care bill.
I had the opportunity to watch and listen as some of these morons stated their points and cast their votes.
My prediction is it will pass and we will be stuck with this piece of legislation until the next election.
However… I predict this is what the liberals WHO VOTE FOR THE BILL will sound like when they are scrambling to explain why they voted yes on cloture and eventually will vote yes on the bill.
It might sound something like this…
Imagine that fine Louisiana or Arkansas liberal that sold you out…
“You see… I voted YES on the motion to cloture. I really had no intention of supporting the bill as it was written. I voted YES to move out of cloture, in fact, I intended to vote NO on the bill and YES only to debate bill I would vote NO on later when I made my NO a YES for you.
So you see, I never really voted YES for the bill… per say…. but rather to debate on the bill. So my vote was a vote to talk about healthcare not a vote to change healthcare. And then when the bill hit the floor… I became confused… You see, I was thinking I was again voting for cloture – so - I cast a YES vote… but in reality meant to cast a NO vote.
In essence, you must look at what I intended to do… and that was to vote NO. However, I realize it looks like I voted YES – especially since that is what the record says – but that is not what I meant to do. So what I am asking is for you to put yourself in my shoes and imagine the confusion. A NO vote means I would make Obama mad and a YES vote means I make you mad. Clearly - Obama is smarter than you – and AARP agreed with him and they are the experts of old people and healthcare– so I acted against my intention to vote NO and voted YES. This was very difficult – I was engaged in turmoil over how to convince you my YES was NO and my NO was YES. Again I never – never – had the intention of this legislation passing. My only intention was to keep Obama happy. Therefore, you can clearly see – my intention has been with you – the people – this entire time. I never meant to vote YES, but NO, so my NO was really YES and my YES became NO. Now you can see that I was confused by what I meant in how I cast my ballot for you by voting YES against your resounding NO. See?”
And before you think I am crazy – Click here!!!
This is what they think of you!
You may have heard on the news that the White House was sitting on information about the alleged Fort Hood murderer Nidal Hasan.
Is this even possible?
Do you wonder why that could be?
Just for grins and giggles – let us take a look at page 32 of this report on the Presidential Transition Task Force for Homeland Security.
Wow – according to page 32 it appears to me that Nidal Hasan was part of the President’s committee.
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm!
I’ll be a son-of-a-gun!
Nidal Hasan is on the Presidents Team.
I bet the military commanders knew this.
I bet I will be labeled a racist for brining this up.
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm!
Is it possible that those who knew Nidal Hasan was connected to the President’s team may have chose not to act on his “crazy – empty threats” because of his relationship to the White House?
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm!
Incredible. I wonder how many of the investigative officers know this? Hopefully all of them do, by now.
So let me summarize for those of you in California:
Nidal Hasan, the alleged killer at Fort Hood, was on 0bama's "Homeland Security transition team".
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm!
This is the group responsible, as I understand it, for moving Homeland Security toward labeling white and conservative groups as being "dangerous."
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm!
Dear Mr. President:
If those questions were good enough for Nixon – they are good enough for you!
We fellow American socialists - so much for transparency.
I think I will ram my head back in the sand and join the rest of the apathetic public.
If you voted for Obama and choose to stand behind him and his NON-transparent transparency of change – then shame on you!
So Ron – what do we do?
Get active. Get involved. Get off you butt. Start now.
While you were sleeping your president made a few appointments that should scare the living hell out of you.
Yes… your president – who has decided we are not Christian nation- his words – not mine - has appointed Arif Alikhan – a well known Muslim to a high level policy-making position in the US DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY!
http://muslimmedianetwork.com/mmn/?p=4061
And my PERSONAL FAVORITE – Kareem Shora, a devout Muslim, who was born in Damascus, Syria. ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTEINS. This man – born in SYRIA is now the ADC National Executive Director and a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC).
http://muslimmedianetwork.com/mmn/?p=4176
Me – I am not to worried about it. The Killeen massacre was just another murder, the 9-11 twin towers were just a few misdirected zealots, the USS Cole was a rogue extremist…. ETC…
I mean – after all – there is no other religion in the world killing Americans in the name of their God. But – don’t worry.
Don’t worry about this. I am just a racist extremist. It will be okay. Honestly.
It is time to THROUGH OUT EVERY ELECTED OFFICAL IN THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE.
I really think I am going to run!
Why I am learning of this – not from my elected officials - who should be screaming from the mountaintops – but from a newsfeed to a Mussilim network. For God’s sake people – wake up!
You people who defend your President by calling others names and blaming everything on George Bush better wake up!
By now you know the health care bill passed the US House of Representatives last night. There is so much to write about this topic – but I will remain brief and start with a few simple thoughts.
In essence the government took the first step in taking control of 1/6th of the US economy.
(Oh – it is OK Ron – don’t worry. The AMA and AARP said so. And Gene Green told me it will be OK. Don’t worry Ron – think positive. Something had to be done – right? People dying in the streets in mass etc…)
Please get this:
Is this what we are about? Is this what our founders envisioned?
Income Tax & Healthcare – Similar Origins
Income tax began in 1861. The original tax was levied to pay for the war effort of the American Civil War. The first income tax was 3% of all incomes over $800.00. The tax was repealed and replaced by another income tax in 1862.
In 1894, Democrats passed the Wilson-Gorman tariff, which imposed the first peacetime income tax. The rate was 2% on income over $4000, which meant fewer than 10% of households would pay any. The purpose of the income tax was to make up for revenue that would be lost by tariff reductions. I ask you… did the intention of the bill outlive the reality of where we are now? NO!
POINTS
- Income tax, like healthcare, was meant to be the responsibility of the “wealthiest” Americans.
- Currently – healthcare costs will be funded by those making over $500,000.00 a year. EVENTUALLY THAT AMOUNT WILL BE LOWERED and 60% of us will foot the bill for 40% – Just like income tax!
- You will pay for healthcare for those who say “I can’t afford it” as they live in a $300,000.00 home OR drive an $80,000.00 BMW OR gamble away their income OR fail to prioritize their finances to cover what is most important ETC…
There is no constitutional provision for this type of wealth redistribution – NONE – ZIP – ZERO - but yet – your congress seems perfectly willing to do it.
In the last 24 months these three major legislative pieces have passed:
Our congress is killing our economic freedom.
Here is my final question – What are you doing about it?
If you think the life of soccer games and beer drinking will continue as we spiral into economic turmoil – think again!
By the way – I think since bearing arms is a constitution right – the government should buy everyone a gun and make them carry it – even if they don’t want to….

Conservative principle – Conservatives need to return to the mindset of a small, centralized federal government with limited power that serves at the will of the states.
Wake up America!
The threat of a nuclear detonation is the Middle East is very real.
I am truly concerned about this for many reasons. If you are a LIBERAL / DEMOCRAT you MUST PAY attention and join my fight to beg and plead and barter and negotiate with IRAN not to blow up the middle east.
Please contact your elected officials and encourage them to encourage Iran to please, pretty please, pretty pretty please, not launch a nuclear weapon.
Here are my reasons that even a liberal can understand:
These are my reasons why Iran should please – pretty please – not develop and not deploy and not detonate a nuclear bomb in the Middle East. What are yours?
Again - I have been watching CNN and MSNBC the past few days.
During that time I have learned that I might be Witch Doctor – perhaps a Warlock.
You also might be a Witch Doctor, Warlock or Witch if…
- You think President Obama made a mistake by beginning to dismantle the Middle Eastern defense shield and putting our NATO allies at risk and virtually destroying our credibility.
- You did not want schools to carry President Obama's message.
-You are sick of the US apology tour.
- You think the UN IS A _______in’ joke.
- You think the farmers in Fresno deserve water for their farms.
- You disagree with anything that Mr. Obama has said.
- If you believe that our borders need to be secure and those who are here illegally should not get ONE DIME from the US Government.
- You believe the 2nd amendment allows you to keep and bear arms.
- You go to a town hall meeting and actually speak opposition to the proposed government take over of health care.
- You go to a town hall meeting and actually speak opposition to CRAP and TAX--- sorry – Cap and Trade.
- You are opposed to paying higher taxes so that people who do not work can be stay at home employees of the government.
- You own, have ever owned, or intend to own a vehicle that gets less that 30 MPG.
- You think GM, AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and others should have failed and went bankrupt because of their lack business ethics.
- You opposed the bailouts.
- You oppose how our Secretary of State is making a total ass of herself and this country abroad.
- You are opposed the cap and trade legislation that will cause our utility bills to skyrocket.
- You support a non-white candidate who is conservative.
- You think Congressman like Gene Green and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee need to leave office because they are serving Nancy Pelosi and not their constituents.
- You want the government to smaller, tax less, and leave you alone.
Now before those of you on the left who know me write me and tell me how mean I am and that I have just misunderstood Keith O, Rachel M, and others…. just know that I have clip from CNN or MSNBC to back up each one of these comments from their highly intellectual journalists.
And yes – I substituted the word WITHC DOCTOR, WARLOCK, and WITCH for racist. Sounds a little silly – yes?
I am not a racist – and I am silent no more!
Until we meet again… may God bless you and may God bless the United States of America.
For those of you who live in Houston… especially the Cypress area… I thought you might want to know that Nancy Pelosi visited Cypress last week.
It seems she visited the North Cypress Medical Center which is located at 21214 Northwest Freeway, Houston, TX 77429. Their phone number is 832-912-3500. (Ask for their marketing department.)
What I have heard from insiders is that she was here on a fundraising campaign and a few in the medical community at the above mentioned facility are supporting her campaign for reelection.
I find this interesting.
I thought you might find it interesting as well.
The puzzle pieces…
So what am I doing…
Closing…
I am told that Michael Berry will be releasing the list of donors on his talk show – Monday – 5:00 PM – 740 KTRH.
In an emotional commentary, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed a choked-up concern over the prospect of pointed political rhetoric turning to violence.
But don’t take my word for it… CLICK HERE to watch it!!
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is concerned about extremist political rhetoric and the violence that it may inspire. Citing the Harvey Milk assassination of the 1970's, Pelosi said that she has seen this phenomenon before…
- Give me a break -
IMPLICATIONS THAT EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT:
My thoughts…
What I did…
Fact: The US Government has stopped the water supply to farmers in Fresno California and California’s fertile San Joaquin Valley.
Fact: This area is in drought conditions.
Fact: Water has been cut off to protect a tiny minnow-sized fish critical in the ecological life-support system for orcas and several salmon families – A MINNOW.
Fact: The area has the eighth highest unemployment rate among the state’s 57 counties.
Fact: The farms employ Mexican immigrants – documented farm workers.
Fact: California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenneger has declared the valley counties a disaster area and hopes for $3 million to $4 million a month in extended unemployment benefits and other aid to the targeted cities and counties. The Obama administration has yet to sign off on the request.
Fact: Interior Secretary Ken Salazar visited the stricken area and listened to the plight from county and city elected officials, state representatives, farmers and laborers. That was June 28. He promised nothing and no directives have been issued from his office on the subject since that time.
Fact: The delta smelt, the threatened minnow destined on the Endangered Species list, plug the drains releasing water to the farm lands. As a result, the Westlands Water District serving Mendota, a city in Fresno County, restricted the federal water allotment to farmlands to 10%. One result is planted fields going to rot and the other Mendota’s unemployment rate reaching 41%.
My Conclusion…
The US Government is not releasing water to this area because a majority of the people impacted are Hispanic. Our nation’s leaders, including our President, should drop their racist approach to water rationing and PUT THESE PEOPLE BACK TO WORK!
Action…
Call your elected congressman and senator and tell them to stop the racially-based water rationing actions against the Hispanic farm workers.
Oh wait… maybe it is not race. Maybe the liberal lunes think more about a minnow than the citizens of Fresno. If this were Bezerkly I might agree.
The Facts as reported…
A hardcore pro-life activist was gunned down in Owosso, Michigan last week as he was protesting against abortion outside the town high school. Police say James L. Pouillon was shot multiple times from a passing car. Fortunately, most of the kids were already in school at the time.
Owosso police have already arrested a 33-year-old suspect. The suspect seems to have also murdered a second man that same morning.
Pouillon, a retired GM worker, was a well known figure in Owosso. He was known as "the sign man" for his daily anti-abortion protests going back decades. Fellow pro-lifers knew him as a kindly 63-year-old devoted to the cause. He certainly wasn't a physical threat to anyone. James Pouillon often protested outside the high school.
My thoughts…(please note – MY OPIONION – parody at work)
I think it is ashamed that the Liberal Left is no longer willing to talk about abortion but instead has resorted to hate crime and the violent killing of innocent protestors to make their point.
It is now clear to me that those on the left do not need to posses firearms.
Their hate is now clear and their action upon their hate demonstrates where the left is mentally.
I am calling for all of those who are known democrats to check in your weapons.
In my opinion - it is now clear that abortion loving liberals on the left want pro-lifers dead!
Further, it is my opinion that the likes of Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow on networks like MSNBC that have raised such outrage in the people that this flashpoint of violence was inevitable.
Olberman and Maddow continue, in my opinion, to incite the left against the pro-life right by continually labeling them as evil, racist, non-caring people.
Well now we know…. the left wants people like me dead!
It is no surprise to me that this 33 year old suspect acted out on the brain washing that has been permutated from MSNBC for the last few years (my opinion). It is also no surprise to me that he felt it his duty to act in such a passionate manner, feeling helpless and hopeless.
In my opinion Oberman and Maddow have blood on their hands!!
They should be taken off the air immediately to prohibit any further encouragement of violence from liberal left activists such as the blood that was spilled on the ground in Owosso.
Serious thoughts…
Obama – calls a joint session of the House and Senate
Obama – tells a few fibs about his healthcare plan… mainly that it does not cover illegal aliens.
Joe Wilson – says during the speech “you lie!”
MSNBC – next day reports that the White House concedes illegal aliens will be covered. <CLICK HERE>
The press – labels Joe Wilson a radical racist that doesn’t speak for mainstream America.
One term president and all-time policy failure Jimmy “JackAss” Carter –labels Joe Wilson a racist.
The US House – formally reprimands Joe Wilson for saying “you lie” to the President even though the President was lying.
I SAY - JOE WILSON IS DOING WHAT NO ONE ELSE HAS DONE AND THAT IS…. HE SPOKE FOR ME!!!
I WRITE – A CHECK TO JOE WILSON for his reelection.
THANK YOU JOE!!!
Below is the list of the Texas house members and how they voted.
I am encouraging you to call and express your love to them.
Y by their name means they VOTED TO REPREIMAND JOE!! - BOOH!
N by their name means they supported Joe!!
So what are the missed points…
TEXAS House Reps….
Democrats -- Cuellar, Y; Doggett, Y; Edwards, Y; Gonzalez, Y; Green, Al, Y; Green, Gene, Y; Hinojosa, Y; Jackson-Lee, Y; Johnson, E. B., Y; Ortiz, Y; Reyes, Y; Rodriguez, Y.
Republicans -- Barton, N; Brady, N; Burgess, N; Carter, N; Conaway, X; Culberson, N; Gohmert, N; Granger, N; Hall, N; Hensarling, N; Johnson, Sam, N; Marchant, N; McCaul, N; Neugebauer, N; Olson, N; Paul, N; Poe, N; Sessions, N; Smith, N; Thornberry, N.
In Obama's speech before a joint session of Congress on 9/9/09, he lays out specific reasons why we need health care reform. Unfortunately, he gets them all wrong.
Finally, let’s address the canard of “14,000 people lose their health insurance every day.“ The number of people insured rose over the course of the year, by over a million, and those covered by government programs rose by almost 5 million. If 14,000 people lose their health insurance every day, it would amount to 5 million more uninsured for the year. Nothing in the new data gives that indication, and in fact shows that more people find health insurance now than lose it.
This is of course ObamaMath which is a class I skipped in High School and College, but you'll need to take that special class to understand Obamanomics and Obamacare. So, basically it's mathematically impossible to have 14,000 people losing their insurance each day while showing a net increase in the number of insured - just don't call him a liar.
Finally, he provides a statement which is - well - ridiculous. “Those who do have insurance have never had less security and stability than they do today.” Since the beginning of invention of insurance, we've never had less security and stability than today. Right. Beyond the lame statement, consider the fact that IF it WERE true - it'd be the governments fault. The one thing that creates instability and insecurity in health insurance is the fact that the government gives incentives tying health insurance to your employment and punishes you for carrying private insurance. The president's answer to this - more government interference.
Bottom line - don't expect someone who can't even diagnose the problem to be able to give you a cure. The president had an opportunity to be the uniter that he promised, but instead insulted the majority of Americans who are in opposition to government intrusion into our health care decisions, offered the same worn out leftist ideas that have failed everywhere they are tried and then told us to shut up and pass his yet to be defined detailed bill. Epic fail.

If you can answer the following questions logically and rationally then I want to hear from you:
The biggest questions of all:
Are you really naive enough to believe that our government can do this?
Closing SIMPLE statement:
Mr. Obama – if you can save 500 Billion in Medicare. Save it. Come back when you have the money in the bank. And quit thinking I am a fool.
Closing SIMPLE question:
Why in God’s name would we hand over the best health care system in the world to a government that is so jacked up?
(For those of you that think the Cuban plan is good – go to Cuba and leave me alone.)
It seems everyone is in an uproar about President Obama speaking to the nation’s youth. This may surprise you, but I think this is fine.
Let’s take a look at a few things before we get excited.
Most people are 100% OK with the government stepping right into their lives… what is one more intrusion? My God people, you are not raising your children now, why do care if OBAMA jumps in? Don’t you know he will speak and the masses will respond?
The main thing is this…
We are in a time of economic hardship perhaps as close tot he great depression as we will ever be.
President Obama wants to make sure that he can positively impact as many young children as possible so that when they grow up they will be productive little US citizens. Further, they will help keep the US on the right track! <Now, just for grins and giggles click here and read this.>
Things to think about are…
First thing… you can read a copy of his speech. <Click Here>
Second thing… you can see the lesson plans teachers are being given. <Click here for PreK-6> <Click here for 7-12>
Third thing… this is not a policy speech. (I know this because the US Department of Education has told us so… see the FAQ section of their website or click here. Since it is writing and on the web, it must be true.)
Fourth thing… George Bush did it so it must be good.
Things to consider carefully…
First thing… I think the President should address the following:
- The importance of birth certificates and school records;
- The corruption of Chicago politicians , ACORN and voter fraud;
- How and why the Constitution of the United States was written to protect against tyranny: and
- His personal relationship with the NEW PARTY…click here for info on the new party and click here for info about Obama and the New Party
Second thing… I think that each and every student that listens to the speech should read about Hitler’s youth. Click here for a good starting point. And no… I am not comparing Obama to Hitler…. only pointing out similar tendencies.
Third thing… I think that each person in this country should research the definition of fascism ie… government controlled media, government controlled industry, government controlled everything.
Last thing… In case you can’t tell, this post is riddled with sarcasm.
When President Bush addressed school children during the day I said then what I say now:
Government leaders do not need to address my children independent of my presence EXCEPT in a national emergency. This creates a dangerous precedent and can be used as tool of indoctrination leading to tyranny.
And yes… I said that… on the radio!!
So… this is not about race – it is about a government leader attempting to reach into the mind of my child.
When this occurs, it can become the beginning of more government interference into my life, and I don’t want that!
Barack Obama ran an unprecedented Presidential campaign - utilizing the power of design to help secure the seat of the President of the United States of America. However, his iconic emblem, the ever present "O", holds more power than even Obama knows.
In the following video Bill Whittle points out the dangers of branding an ideology with an icon and how, perhaps, the powerful symbol will be used against the very man it built up.

Let me start by saying this: JOHN MCCAIN MUST GO!
I want to show you a few reasons why I think it is time for Senator McCain to be removed from office.
I will call this little collection of ideas…
“Adventures in missing the point!”
First Adventure – When Senator McCain attended a town hall meeting in August he was asked a very simple question from a constituent. Click below to watch the clip.
VIDEO - McCain Booed for Constitutional Comment
Missing the point… John McCain describes his differences with Obama as merely philosophical. However, most people – as this lady does – see the differences as constitutional.
- There are no provisions in the constitution for a single payer or government provided health care system.
- There are no provision in the constitution for the appointment of Czars or an expansion of the “cabinet” without congressional approval.
- There are no provisions in the constitution for government ownership of private or public business.
- The constitution protects free speech… at least it did in the old America.
The point… it is about the constitution!
Second Adventure – At a town hall meeting in July 2008 McCain has protestor – an Obama supporter – removed.
VIDEO - John McCain Town Hall – July 2008
Missing the point… John McCain seems to have forgotten that free speech extends to everyone, not just to those with whom we agree.
The point… It is about the constitution!
Third Adventure – At a town hall meeting in August 2009, McCain explain many of the issues this nation faces. He does this very well. In fact, they are charted out nicely.
VIDEO - John McCain on the healthcare problem
Missing the point… McCain fails to mention that HE VOTED FOR THE FIRST ITEM ON THE LIST!!! Click here to see the record.
The point… You are part of the reason it is broken!
Fourth Adventure – John McCain appeared on the Conan O’Brein show. Between minutes 4 and 7 he indicates that what the nation really wants is a bipartisan effort.
VIDEO - John McCain on Conan O’Brein
Missing the point… People like me don’t give a crap about a bipartisan effort. We want you to stop spending our money and raising our taxes. To hell with you bipartisan mumbo jumbo!!
The point… YOU DON’T GET IT and YES – REPUBLICANS ARE GUILTY and MUST GO!!
Final Adventure – John McCain as a Senator.
I encourage everyone who reads this blog to simply send FIVE DOLLARS to his opponent in Arizona.
McCain’s opponent is Chris Simcox and his website is http://www.simcoxforsenate.com.
You may know him as founder of the Minute Men - http://www.minutemanhq.com/hq/.
Until we meet again, may God bless you and may God bless the USA!
This video of Fairfax County (VA) School District Police Officer Wesley Cheeks Jr., was taken on Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 at Rep. Jim Morans (D-VA) Town Hall meeting on Obama care.
The meeting was held at South Lakes High School in Reston, Virginia, in Fairfax County. Many people were left outside when the school filled to capacity.
Fairfax County School Police Officer Wesley Cheeks, Jr. did not approve of a protesters anti-Obamacare poster which used one of the Joker graphics.
Watch the video and see what happens when Officer Cheeks sees the anti-Obamacare poster.

May God help us all!!
Today I don’t feel like writing. Many of you may think that is a good thing, but I am just flat out concerned about where our nation is headed.
It is my estimation that so many people have their head buried in the sand as to what is happening in our country. Many of you will not read past this paragraph because this is nonsense to you.
OK… don’t read, don’t get involved, but remember - the German propaganda was nonsense, so was the Russian propaganda, and the middle eastern propaganda. Nothing ever came out of those propaganda producing machines. In fact, the holocaust was a lie, Russia remains the greatest nation in the world, and women in the middle east aren't stoned to death when their hubby doesn’t like them anymore.
Go ahead… live life like you know it…you have a good three years of freedom left. When they shut off the NFL, NBA, or MLB maybe you will wake the hell up.
When they shut off American Idol or Survivor maybe you will push hard enough to free your head.
Or – when they decide that little league shouldn't be allowed in the suburbs because there are no fields in the inner cities.
Or – when they decide children shouldn't keep score in games because it creates winners and losers and nobody should ever lose.
OH wait… that will never happen… this is America.
WRONG – that would not happen in your grandparent’s America – but it can darn sure happen here!
I talk to people daily that are willing to sacrifice their liberty for comfort of mind. (Healthcare). Even more scary… they are willing to sacrifice MY liberty for their comfort of mind (Cap and Trade and climate change). This goes back to George Bush (Homeland Security) and now to Hussein Obama (FCC control of airwaves.)
A few weeks ago I blogged a piece titled - “While you were sleeping.” So my first question to you is this…
ARE YOU SLEEPING?
If you hit the snooze button and don’t pay attention to what is happening right now I am afraid that what we call America will vanish before our eyes.
Those of you on the left who read this blog remember one thing… if you don’t stand for the most basic constitutional rights in this county for everyone, nobody will be left to stand for you when this county falls under Marxist control.
My second question is this:
WILL YOU DIE FOR MY RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH?
“I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it!” This is one of my favorite quotes. But I tell you with 100% honesty… I would die for your right to speak.
In late 1700 a group of men gathered and created a pack together. It was very simple – they banded together and committed to each other that they would die for each other and for the future of this nation so that we could all enjoy LIBERTY.
Will you die for liberty?
Will you die so that your political opponents can be heard?
Really? Will you die if Marxism goes on a full march in this nation? Really?
Will you take a bullet – will you – for your kids? For your nation?
I have NEVER called anyone on the left names, grouped them together or attempted to silence them. The reverse is simply not true. In the last few weeks I have been called a racist, an extremist, a leader in the vast right wing conspiracy, a homophobe and so no….
Why the names you may asked. Very simple – divide and conquer. If I can be grouped, I can be isolated.
Those on the extreme left would have people like me silenced.
Not yet… first they will take out Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Michel Berry, Fox News, and then people like me who oppose the ideas of big government.
IF YOU GET NOTHING ELSE FROM THIS WRITING – GET THIS – IT IS NOT THE FACT THAT I OPPOSE BIG GOVERNMENT OR HEALTCARE FOR ALL OR FCC REGULATION THAT WILL CAUSE ME TO ONE DAY BE SHUT DOWN – IT IS THE FACT I OPPOSE - PERIOD.
READ IT AGAIN – IT IS THE FACT I OPPOSE. The current administration is 100% comfortable shutting down opposing ideas. They have said so.
So… what happens when you oppose?
Again – two simple questions:
Are you sleeping?
Will you die for my right of free speech? Will you? Really?
I have been watching CNN and MSNBC the past few days.

Now before those of you on the left who know me write me and tell me how mean I am and that I have just misunderstood Keith O, Rachel M, and others…. just know that I have clip from CNN or MSNBC to back up each one of these comments from their highly intellectual journalists.
Until we meet again… may God bless you and may God bless the United States of America.
I saw this on a sign. I think it is fitting:
Now we know what change is:
- More Debt
- More Taxes
- More Welfare
- More Regulation
- More Government
- More Wasteful Spending
- More Corruption
Thanks Mr. Obama!
While you were sleeping…
On December 20th 1988 Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi was building a bomb.
While you were sleeping…
On December 21st 1988 that bomb was being placed on Pan Am Flight 103.
While you were sleeping…
In the evening of December 21st. 1988 flight Pan Am 103 exploded and pieces of the plane fell onto the Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing 259 people on the plane and 11 people on the ground.
MOST ON THE PLANE WERE AMERICANS
While you were sleeping…
Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, a Libyan government offical, was convicted of involvement in the bombing and sentenced to life imprisonment
And… while you were sleeping…
On 20 August 2009, the Scottish Government released him on "compassionate grounds" to return to Libya as he was suffering from terminal prostate cancer and had a life expectancy of less than 3 months.
And… while you were sleeping…
He returned home a hero to Libya a hero with a hero’s welcome.
And… while you were sleeping…
Your President, Secretary of State or Congress did nothing.
While you are sleeping tonight…
I hope you feel safe.

Americans died while you were sleeping and we have done nothing. Time to wake up!

Good afternoon all…
I want to bring two men to your attention.
First is Frank “Mazz” Mazzapica. He will be running against Gene Green in Congressional District 29. I have had several at length discussions with “Mazz” and he will represent District 29 very well.
It is time for Gene to go. Enough said.
Frank’s website is:
http://www.mazzapica4congress.com/
You can also find him on facebook.
Do not be surprised if you see me in District 29 helping this man move his ideals forward.
Second is John Faulk. He will be running against Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. I am just getting to know him.
John’s website is:
It is time for cell phone toting, funeral going SJL to go!
Both these men need help. Please visit their websites and consider getting involved. I will keep you posted on my work with each of their perspective campaigns!
Dig this…
On Tuesday, MSNBCs Contessa Brewer fretted over health care reform protesters legally carrying guns:
"A man at a pro-health care reform rally...wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip....there are questions about whether this has racial overtones....white people showing up with guns." Brewer failed to mention the man she described was black.
Click here to see the video showed and falsely reported on by CNN.
Click here to see the unedited version.
Following Brewers report, which occurred on the Morning Meeting program, host Dylan Ratigan and MSNBC pop culture analyst Toure discussed the supposed racism involved in the protests. Toure argued: "...there is tremendous anger in this country about government, the way government seems to be taking over the country, anger about a black person being president....we see these hate groups rising up and this is definitely part of that." Ratigan agreed: "...then they get the variable of a black president on top of all these other things and that's the move the cherry on top, if you will, to the accumulated frustration for folks."
Not only did Brewer, Ratigan, and Toure fail to point out the fact that the gun-toting protester that sparked the discussion was black, but the video footage shown of that protester was so edited, that it was impossible to see that he was black. The man appeared at a health care rally outside of President Obamas speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Phoenix, Arizona.

Until we meet again… may God bless you and may God bless the United States of America!!
TSA at its finest!
TSA… Transportation Secrets of America – no?
TSA… Terrible Security Administration – no?
TSA… Totally Screwed Americans – no?
TSA… Terrible Service Authority – no?
I am not sure what it actually stands for… and based on what I watch them do… I am not sure what they actually do!
As I write this I am sitting in Hobby Airport in Houston, Texas. I have just passed the screening area where three blue shirts are working and 15 blue shirts are doing nothing. YES - I counted… 15 blue shirts doing absolutely nothing.
Now as I traveled through the screening line, the person in front of me was thoroughly interrogated because she was dumb enough to keep mouthwash in her bag. Poor fool. By the reaction of the blue shirts one might think she had brought an atomic bomb into the airport.
So what prompted me to write this…
After I cleared the screening… leaving Scope girl behind… I entered into a gift shop near my gate. I did my usual perusal of books, magazine glances to check up on Brittani (by the way she has lost weight), and completed a purchase of gum and diet coke.
As cashier girl is swiping my card I look down and to my total shock and awe I see a bottle of Scope. Yes… scope. The same Scope for which Scope girl back the screening line was getting the wand. Yes… scope. Then, I noticed a full apothecary of personal hygiene items that I found very unique considering the TSA rules.
So… what was there at that counter… less that 50 feet from my gate?
Well, there was an 8 ounce bottle of alcohol based hand gel. (For those in San Francisco – this stuff is flammable.) But wait… don’t be alarmed… it was stored a safe distance from the cigarette lighters.
Yes… hand gel and lighters – 50 feet from the gate. Now the most amazing thing, and perhaps the most ironic, was Right Guard in aerosol form.
Now here is my question - have you ever seen the fire ball an aerosol spray is capable of producing? MY GOD – are you kidding me? This stuff is capable of making a blow torch that could kill an alligator.
So get this… lets say I buy the hand gel, a lighter and the spray deodorant. I then spread the gel on seats in the plane, fire the lighter up, and shoot a fireball on the gel. BAMN… Napalm in the sky.
All the while Scope girl is getting wanded and treated like crap.
After this, if any of you ask me why I don’t want government morons in charge of my health care… close your eyes, take a deep breath and get ready for me to hit you with my bat. (For my liberal friends – this is a joke. REPEAT, this is all a joke. I would never hit you with a bat. Fire a Right Guard blow torch at you maybe… but never the bat.)
On a side note, I showed my find to scope girl and she was a little ticked.
She bought a lighter and then wandered aimlessly away.
In closing… try this on for size:
“Trust me, I am with the government.”
Just saying…
Time to amend the US Constitution
This post is simple and sweet.
If I were a congressman my first work in office would be to offer amendments to the US Constitution. I want you to know that I deeply respect our founders and the intellect they brought to creating this nation, crafting the declaration of independence, and writing the constitution. That said… it is time for a few amendments.
So… if I were elected, these are the amendments I would offer:
Amendment 28 – Congressional Term Limits and Benefits
Section 1. No person shall be elected more than twice to the office of Senator with a maximum of time in office of 14 years.
No person shall be elected more than three times to the office of representative with a maximum of time in office of 7 years.
Section 2. No person who has held the office of Senator or Representative shall collect retirement or benefits from the United States after they have completed their term.
Section 3. Persons serving as members of the Congress shall be entitled to benefits matching but not exceeding the lowest US military pay grade.
Amendment 30 – Balanced Budget
Section 1. Prior to each fiscal year, the Congress shall adopt a statement of receipts and outlays for that year in which total outlays are no greater than total receipts. The Congress may amend such statement provided revised outlays are not greater than revised receipts. Whenever three-fifths of the whole number of both Houses shall deem it necessary, Congress in such statement may provide for a specific excess of outlays over receipts by a vote directly to that subject. The Congress and the President shall ensure that actual outlays do not exceed the outlays set forth in such statement.
Section 2. Total receipts for any fiscal year set forth in the statement adopted pursuant to this article shall not increase by a rate greater than the rate of increase in national income in the last calendar year ending before such fiscal year, unless a majority of the whole number of both Houses of Congress shall have passed a bill directed solely to approving specific additional receipts and such bill has become law.
Section 3. The Congress may waive the provisions of this article for any fiscal year in which a declaration of war is in effect.
Section 4. The Congress may not require that the states engage in additional activities without compensation equal to the additional costs.
Section 5. Total receipts shall include all receipts of the United States except those derived from borrowing and total outlays shall include all outlays of the United States except those for repayment of debt principal.
Section 6. This article shall take effect for the second fiscal year beginning after its ratification.
Amendment 31 – Tax
Section 1. All federal taxes are now abolished and Congress’s ability to levy and collect taxes is restricted to this amendment.
Section 2. The only taxes that Congress may levy is the US Federal Income Tax and National Sales Tax.
Section 3.The Congress may levy a Federal Income Tax not to exceed 10% to any one individual or business, public or private.
Section 4. The Congress may levy a National Sales Tax not to exceed 1% on the sale of goods and service sold in the United States and abroad.
Amendment 32 – Effects of Law
Congress cannot exempt themselves from the effects of any law of the United States.
Amendment 33 – Radio and Television Transmission
Congress shall make no law, pass no regulation that impacts radio or television transmissions if such are political in nature.
Amendment 34 – Federal Funding
Congress shall make no law restricting the utilization of federal funds offered to states to be contingent upon states adopting set standards or laws as a condition of receiving funds. Congress may restrict how funds are expended but not through contingency of a State adopting, passing, or creating laws or regulations.
I know these will need a little work… but it is a start!
Until we meet again… may God bless you and may God bless the USA!!
Involvement 101…
I want you all to know that I am planning on attending the town hall meeting sponsored by SJL.
The meeting is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM. If you plan to attend, I suggest you arrive no later that 7:00PM as it will be standing room only!
I know this next comment is going to shock you… but… I do have respect for SJL in that she – unlike Congressman Gene Green – has made a commitment to keep her meetings open to the general public!
Gene Green – Take a lesson from SJL
Hope to see there!
US Congressman Restricts Town Hall Meetings
US Congressman Gene Green has announced that he is restricting attendance at his town hall meetings based on where you live and your civility.
I never in my life thought I would see the day in this - supposedly free nation - when a congressman would restrict who was in attendance in an open forum based on their residence and civility.
I hope that if you get nothing else from this post get this… GENE GREEN has restricted MY right to free speech based on where I live and his definition of civil discussion! AND… SINCE HE HAS DONE IT TO ME, HE CAN SURE DO IT TO YOU!
I know this may be hard to believe when you consider this is America but take a look at the memo from Gene’s website :
“Town hall meetings are one of my favorite ways to communicate with constituents. I have held hundreds during my years of service in Congress and always welcomed everyone to attend. Unfortunately, due to a coordinated effort to disrupt our town hall meetings, we will be restricting further attendance to residents of the 29th Congressional District and verifying residency by requiring photo identification. Whether individuals agree or disagree, we must maintain order to have a civil discussion of the issues. While I regret this restriction, it is necessary for the safety and consideration of our constituents. Those who do not reside in the 29th Congressional should contact their Member of Congress to voice any concerns that they may have on issues before Congress.”
Blog Origination
If you are new reader please know that I started this blog to encourage political involvement.
My message now is this:
If you have been politically idle… get involved.
If you live in Gene’s district – you must stop this dictate.
If you have done nothing… do something.
If you want your freedom – fight for it now!
This must stop now before people like Gene push our country beyond the point of no return.
So… what I want you to know… the facts:
So you may be asking… what can I do… I am only one person:
Yesterday I wrote that our nation is really facing is about control NOT healthcare. Today I say it with more certainty… it is so.
It is my estimation that too many people are sitting idly by waiting for someone else to get their hands dirty. YOU MUST RISE…YOU MUST GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY - if you do not… there will be no one left to rise!!
If you are a constituent of Gene Green I beg you to show up at his next town hall meeting and raise your voice on his betrayal of the constitution.
Conclusion:
"First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up, because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me."
- Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)
No worries Ron - this will never happen here!
Until we meet again may God bless you and may God bless the United States!
