Passivity

Posted by Jr on March 27, 2010 at 12:00pm
Passivity does not work.
The violent always rules over the weak.
Thomas Jefferson made it clear that
Americans must act aggressively in order to preserve liberty and freedom.

In this day, simply whining and being passive will not work.
Voting has not worked.
Americans need to stand up and force the Gov. to preserve
our freedoms and liberties. If we don't, then we get 100 years of losing
our freedoms and liberties.

Americans must stand up and fight. Americans must stop worrying about
what they will lose in the process. Our founding father lost their
homes, their families, their lives. They did it so we could have liberty
and freedom.

Is their sacrifice in vain?

President Obama cares little for we the people

Posted by Robert Frattasio on March 27, 2010 at 11:28am
By Joe Fitzgerald | Saturday, March 27, 2010 | http://www.bostonherald.com

A powerful line appeared in a Life magazine review of the Vietnam War, years after that nightmare concluded.

“Americans were at war with themselves,” it observed, “and both sides lost.”

Indeed, national accord had been ruptured.

No one wants to see that happen again, but that’s the kind of antagonism spreading across the land today, a bitter divide created not only by the merits of Obamacare, but by the bureaucratic heavy-handedness that jammed it down the throats of a populace whose questions had not been answered and whose fears had not been allayed.

It was Washington telling us, “Government knows best,” and if there’s anything we know for sure, regardless of which party holds office, it’s that government can screw up a two-car funeral.

That’s why, in his first inaugural address, Ronald Reagan drew thunderous applause in proclaiming, “Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”

All these years later, thanks to a passionate civics teacher named Belle Strickland, this writer can quote such fundamental principles as, “Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

Yet Barack Obama exhibits disdain for those he governs.

Accustomed to the hosannas of fawning admirers, he turns a deaf ear to anyone suggesting he might not have all the answers.

He simply declared his presidency demanded passage of this controversial legislation, and Congress assured him it would comply, by any means necessary.

Americans will always have contentious debate over volatile issues, but at the end of the day we have time-honored ways to reach a consensus, which is what this president and this Congress totally disrespected, igniting a furious backlash.

“Find out what people will submit to,” Frederick Douglass, the famed abolitionist, noted a century ago, “and you’ll have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.”

So millions of Americans are now telling Washington they do not want to submit to Obamacare, and he’s pooh-poohing their recalcitrance as civil disobedience.

It’s no such thing. It’s just a reminder this government still belongs to the people, which is what most of us were correctly taught a long, long time ago.

The VAT Cometh

Posted by Cathy O'Brien on March 26, 2010 at 5:06pm

The only way to pay for the behemoth government takeover health care bill is with taxes, taxes and more taxes. You conveniently won't hear much about the upcoming taxes until after the November 2010 mid-term elections, and of course the tax increases already implemented will not hit until early 2011 either. The big push will be the european-style socialized Value Added Tax, more commonly known as VAT.

NOW IS THE TIME TO FOCUS THE TEA PARTY ON A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

Posted by Jeff Renner on March 26, 2010 at 11:30am

The short term Tea Party goals are important. We must remove irresponsible politicians from Washington DC and try to regain some measure of control over our government. This is only a stopgap measure, however, since the legal loopholes that allowed this gargantuan government to evolve are still in place.

We can argue about what we consider Constitutional until we are blue in the face, but as long as the Supreme Court rules in favor of big government with vague interpretations, the Republic will always be at risk.

The first time I saw a map with 38 states taking action to legally oppose Obamacare, it suddenly dawned on me: 38! Just the number of states needed to ratify an Amendment to the Constitution! We have the momentum and now support from the several states.

THE TIME IS RIGHT TO FOCUS THE TEA PARTY ON A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION TO ELIMINATE THE GENERAL WELFARE CLAUSE AND MODIFY THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE CLAUSE FOREVER

HERITAGE RESPONDS TO HEALTH CARE VOTE: REPEAL

Posted by Cathy O'Brien on March 25, 2010 at 4:27pm

Make no mistake, America is going through its second revolution. She has witnessed the full blown threat of government takeover, and this is not the foundation on which this country was based. This one is very different, because it's not blood in the street, but an awakened America engaged as never before at the polls, at TEA Party rallys, at town hall meetings, on the web, throwing their hat in the ring as a candidate, rounding up votes, holding meetings and seminars, sounding the alarm about backroom shenanigans, sounding off about losing education and freedom of religion in our schools, and becoming educated like never before in their lifetime. As Minority Speaker, John Boehner, said the other day, violence and threats are unacceptable.... channel it into positive change.

Healthcare reform still not fair! or is it regular Americans aren't good enough. So lets pass the

28th Amendment
Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to ...the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States of America.

We need to get laser focused.

Posted by Bob Casper on March 24, 2010 at 10:47pm
Hello my name is Bob Casper, as November approaches the first thing that needs to happen is that all of the seats up for election across the US need to be posted on this website; with the current incumbents. People need to become very familiar with them and know who they are voting out!!!

People need to visualize removing each one of them from office, think about it often, and consider ways that they can contribute to removing all of these individuals from office. We need not stop with just the Democrats; the Independents and Republicans also need to be in our sights. And everyone of them need to be vetted. They must be willing to sign a contract with the Tea Party constituent outlining their believes and what they are personally going to do to turn around Washington; the State, County, or City that they will be representing. If they can not or are unwilling to do this, then they are out, period!.

They must stand with the Tea Party convictions 100%, pro-life, be fiscally conservative (put plans in place to balance their budgets), reduce taxes at all levels, remove ALL earmarks, Deport illegal emigrants, Prison reform (make the criminals not want to be there), Use the same retirement and medical services that normal Americans use, change the law to only vote one bill per submission, change all of the term limits to two maximum, provide the constituents the ability to recall or dismiss elected officials who are not performing the job duties per their job description, and hold elected officials accountable for all expenditures up and to imprisonment if they are deemed to misappropriate the funds.

We then need to vet candidates that will fit the bill. They need to be vetted by the Tea Party, not the Republican Party, Independent Party, or the Democratic Party. If they are not vetted by the Tea Party then they do not qualify. We can not trust any of the parties to represent the Tea Parties needs.

We need to use social media to expose each one of them. This is not about smearing anyone. This is to clearly point out their service history and their believe system. They have every right to defend their position, but we will let their votes and behavior tell the real story. You see they can say what ever they want to, but their voting record will tell the truth. It is just like hiring someone for a job. If they don't fit, then you tell them that they are not what we are looking for and we simply tell them that they are not qualified, no thank you, and move on. There need be no arguing or bickering.

Our mission is very clear get the bad seeds out. We need to infiltrate each precinct, support the campaign for the right person in the precinct, put a captain in charge and move to the next one; until all of the precincts across the US have been covered.

Once this is complete we will use the social media to gain numbers and support needed in each location. People need to be will to canvass the entire precinct with literature needed to point out the truth and why these people need to go. We need to go to small business and canvass each one of them. Show them directly how the current politicians in Washington are destroying their business and their financial future.

This is not easy, but it is very doable. We need to show people in simple terms how we are going to take back the country and how this will improve their lives. We need to educate people on how capitalism really works and how it can work for them when the government is on their side.

It is sad because business ignorance has increased over the last three to four decades. This generation does not understand work ethic, saving for the future, helping others because you want to, not because you have to or are told too, or how to create or make money. They have only been taught how to get a job.

People need to truly understand the difference between capitalism andsocialism. People need to be shown in black and white why socialism eventually fails.Where as work books stating this information need to be created for computers, iphones, blackberrys, ipads, and the like so that people have this information at their finger tips.

We need to recruit individuals who are familiar with these media centers; so that they can communicate to people what needs to get out and is not being taught in our school systems. It is so sad that young adults are so clueless when it comes to making money in our capitalist society.

These people need to be lead by the hand with simple graphical presentations that shows why socialism eventually fails and why capitalism always succeeds. Capitalism has its draw backs as greed corrupts the process and there needs to be monitors in place to keep this in check, but the down side of socialism far exceeds the downside of capitalism. That is why the United States of America is the greatest nation in the world.

Enough for now....

BEWARE THE EMBOLDENED LEFT

Posted by Cathy O'Brien on March 24, 2010 at 3:35pm

As the left rejoices over their monumental victory, conservatives double down on the upcoming 2010 elections and their campaign strategy. "Repeal the Bill" is a good start, but should not be the focus, as it will be a difficult road and Obama will veto any attempt.

The eye-opening shenanigans by the left such as the backroom bribes, payoffs, and threats in their eternal quest for big government; the takeover of the private sector in financial institutions, the car industry, insurance companies, and now health care; their road to a socialistic re-distribution of wealth; the doubling and tripling our deficit .... should be their focus.

Writing a Play/Screenplay "2015"

Posted by William Quayle Jr on March 24, 2010 at 10:07am
I am a full time student taking theater arts I also write scripts. I am taking creative writing this semester. I am writing the play/screenplay 2015 that shows america under socalisum, the goverment running everyones life, and maybe people will wake up to reality. The screenplay I am writing goes back to the time of the battle of Trenton 1776 Washington crossing the Delaware. Look out for the title "Willie the Swashbuckler" in the future. It does have some fiction in it and I put some historical events to give a little bit of history.

I have been a insurance agent for 33 years forcing people to take out health insurance is wrong. If I did what the federal government is doing with health insurance I would be fined for doing so. Taking care of the causes of high premiums is the answer. I do like Congressman Wyman that voted aganst the bill on Sunday not all of them are bad.

FIVE REASONS NOT TO DESPAIR

Posted by Cathy O'Brien on March 23, 2010 at 8:18pm
We have much to be grateful for, and more importantly, a need to fight on for the all important November 2010 elections. They are only a short 7 months away, and as Erick Erickson of Red State said, the time for fence sitting is over. It's time to choose and campaign with all we've got, and keep our chin up.

WHERE THE CLICHÉ 'PYRRHIC VICTORY' COMES FROM

Posted by Cathy O'Brien on March 23, 2010 at 5:00pm

As we pick ourselves up from a gut-wrenching weekend, a battle has been won by Obama and company, but not the war on liberty. This is a new day, and there is no room for compromises. Bi-partisan should be removed from our language, because there is no such thing. The Libs would never compromise in any way, and neither should conservatives anymore. RINOs must be weeded out and defeated. We need to be bold. We need to be agressive. We need not compromise -- and lose. (Thank you Mark Levin for your inspiration)

George (Washington) must be turning over in his grave.....

Posted by Peary Perry on March 23, 2010 at 3:23pm
A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry(sign up for new columns at www.pearyperry.com)George (Washington) must be turning over in his grave…What a week. What a travesty to this country. Rarely has anyone currently alive observed such an abuse of the political process as that which we have seen these past few days. It is almost too unbelievable to describe. When Princess Pelosi said we were watching history in the making. She was right. We have never seen abuse such as this before and I pray we never will again in the future.Where to begin? There is so much to choose from. Let’s start with Vice President Biden who is always good for a laugh. He introduces the President and forgets that his microphone is own when he whispers to the anointed one that … “This is a big f****** deal.” Nice talk from the second in command of the United States. Here’s a role model for our kids. But I suppose our children shouldn’t be too upset, they hear this language on the television thanks to the liberals in Hollywood. Just another day at the office.Princess Nancy has been grinning so hard since Sunday; it appears her face is frozen. I love her remarks about us having to pass the bill just so we can see what is in it. I didn’t know it has been working this way. I guess I always assumed that our elected representatives were supposed to read and discuss, even debate, pieces of legislation first, before they made it into a law. It just goes to show you how much I know.Of course the special deals and perks which were given out in order to secure the 216 votes necessary to approve the legislation were just deemed as ‘ business as usual’. Nothing new, it’s done all of the time. Everyone does it. What’s the big deal?I’m sure they are correct, it probably is ‘done’ all the time, but that doesn’t make it right, does it? I want laws passed because the people writing and voting on them agree with them not because they give up their votes for bribes. I want lawmakers to make decisions and pass or vote down pieces of legislation because this is what the people in their districts tell them to do, not for what is given for their votes. I want people running this country who have ethics and morals, not thugs and gangsters who slip in and out of back rooms with sex, lies and videotapes. That may be too harsh, perhaps I should have just said judgeships, hospital dollars and special exemptions to the rules.Speaking of rules, how about that paragon of legislation named Alcee Hastings? While he is sitting on a rules committee the other day attempting to determine whether the healthcare bill would be legal to vote upon or not, he professes that “There are no rules, we have no rules, we make them up as we go along.” That really warms the cockles of my heart and I know it does yours as well.What is sad to me is the fact that a large portion of our country labors under the misapprehension that the government can take care of us all from the cradle to the grave for free. It ain’t going to happen. It didn’t happen in Russia, China, North Korea or other communistic/socialistic countries and it won’t happen here. As a friend of mine said this morning… “when everyone is riding on the wagon, who will be pulling?” Think about it. Adding 32 million more people to a healthcare system that is already broke isn’t the answer. Fixing the problem for the existing one and then making some changes is the answer. The democrats believe that selling watermelons for 50 cents each when they cost you a dollar each means you need to buy a bigger truck in order to make some money.The good news? The people are fired up and mad at what has just happened. Our challenge is to keep up the momentum and vote the rascals out. Keep those cards and letters coming, support anyone who is running that is not an incumbent at this time. Make those rallies….as they say in Texas….come early, stay late and be loud.Remember the (ALAMO)-----All Lawmakers Are Moving OutComments go to www.pearyperry.comComplaints go nowhere….

Judas Stupak Sold Abortion Vote For $700K Airport Funds / Loses Award

Posted by Barry 'Bigbare' Carson on March 22, 2010 at 12:40pm


March 21st 2010:
Stupak caves. Obama funds largest Abortion increase since '73.


We lost a great battle today in the quest to stop funding abortion with our tax-dollars.
But I say thank you, to all who joined our fax-campaign and sent nearly 1.4 million

petitions to Congress to save the unborn. Your voices are never in vain.
Ezekiel 3:19 declares,

"If you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way,

he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul."
Together we prophesied truth to power; their blood is not on our hands.

Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) and his 12 so-called"pro-life" Dems
caved in today, and sold their souls to vote"pro-abortion" and fund child-killing
on an unprecedented scale. While Stupak boasted his district suddenly received

over $700,000 for airport upgrades, he also dared to claim victory after trading his

vote for a phony executive order that President Obama knows cannot overrule his

new "health" care law that funds abortion.

Two Democrats both admitted the executive order is a sham,

that will not reduce abortion funds by even one penny.

The new abortion funds in the Senate bill, which just passed with HR 4872 on a
219-212 vote,"can't be changed by executive order, because an executive order
can't change the law," admitted pro-abortion Democrat Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL)

on Fox News.

Retiring Democrat Marion Berry (D-AR), one of just a handful to courageously vote

against the bill, agreed:"Despite the recently announced Executive Order addressing

this issue, I remain concerned that this legislation does not go far enough to satisfy

my concerns. As a pro-life Member of Congress, I believe that abortion is fundamentally

wrong, and taxpayer money should not be allowed to support it.

"If only Stupak had such a conscience as Berry.

Obama's proposed executive order contained two false statements:

1) "The Act maintains current Hyde Amendment restrictions governing
abortion policy and extends those restrictions to the newly-created health
insurance exchanges."
(The new law does no such thing, and never did, or there would be no need
for this misleading executive order, that won't stand up to any court challenge,
so abortions will be funded by law.)

2) "Under the Act, longstanding Federal laws to protect conscience
(such as the Church Amendment, 42 U.S.C.§300a-7, and the
Weldon Amendment, Pub. L. No. 111-8,§508d-1) remain intact...
prohibit[ing] discrimination against...health care providers because of
an unwillingness to provide...abortions."
(The National Right To Life Committee rebuked Obama's false statement, saying,
"Nor can the order correct the omission from the pending legislation of the
necessary conscience-protection language ... (the 'Weldon language').")

So no thanks to Bart Stupak, who caved in like the traitor Benedict Arnold,
or Judas Iscariot for his 30 pieces of silver, we must now all pray God will
change the government this November, to oust ALL who voted for this bill,
and demand its full repeal.

Stupak stripped of 'Defender of Life' award he was to receive this week
March 22, 2010,
by Bridget Johnson

An anti-abortion group has stripped Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) of a
"Defender of Life" award he was supposed to receive Wednesday night.

Stupak was to be honored at the annual Campaign for Life Gala of the
Susan B. Anthony List for his efforts to get the Stupak amendments
toughening up restrictions on abortion funding inserted into the healthcare
bill voted on Sunday night.

In an 11th hour negotiation, and refusal by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
to vote on side bills, Stupak accepted an executive order from President
Barack Obama to ensure funds wouldn't be used for abortions.

"By accepting this deal from the most pro-abortion President in American history,
Stupak has not only failed to stand strong for unborn children, but also for his

constituents and pro-life voters across the country,"
Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund President Marjorie Dannenfelser
said in a statement.

"Let me be clear: any representative, including Rep. Stupak, who votes for
this healthcare bill can no longer call themselves 'pro-life.'
The Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund will not endorse, or support in
any capacity, any Member of Congress who voted for this bill, or votes for
this bill in any future election."
