Hello again readers,
Here is my take on President's 2011 SOTU address. I thought it was a good speech and he spoke about a lot of issues. There is certainly no question about his ability to deliver a good speech; the content is a whole different issue. I still feel like he fails to connect with the American people. It sounded like another campaign speech full of promises he won't keep. The other thing that bothered me was how Obama tried to remove himself from any blame when it comes to playing politics. He tried to write if off as just party disagreements that he has nothing to do with. Let's look at the talking points. I put the President's words in quotations and typed my response below each section.
1. One Small Correction: "It’s no secret that those of us here tonight have had our differences over the last two years. The debates have been contentious; we have fought fiercely for our beliefs. And that’s a good thing. That’s what a robust democracy demands."
Actually Mr. President, We are not a democracy, we are a Republic. Just thought you might want to know that.
2.The AZ Tragedy: "That’s what helps set us apart as a nation.
But there's a reason the tragedy in Tucson gave us pause. Amid all the noise and passions and rancor of our public debate, Tucson reminded us that no matter who we are or where we come from, each of us is a part of something greater – something more consequential than party or political preference."
Mr. President, I agree with you that the shootings in AZ were a horrible tragedy. I also agree that there was a lot of political spin and finger pointing following the shooting. But let's be honest shall we? How can you possibly say that the tragedy reminds us that we are "something more consequential than party or political preference?" It was your party that just hours after, accused Sarah Palin of being the motive behind the AZ shooting. Where was your criticism of that? Remember this is also the same President that said "Republicans will have to ride in the back of the bus" I'm not buying his "unity" speech.
3. The Recovery: "We are poised for progress. Two years after the worst recession most of us have ever known, the stock market has come roaring back. Corporate profits are up. The economy is growing again. But we have never measured progress by these yardsticks alone. We measure progress by the success of our people. By the jobs they can find and the quality of life those jobs offer. By the prospects of a small business owner who dreams of turning a good idea into a thriving enterprise. By the opportunities for a better life that we pass on to our children."
How can he possibly say that corporate profits are a gauge for economic success? When for the past 2yrs he has taken every opportunity to tell us that corporations are evil and greedy. He likes to talk about the small business owner. Let's not forget it was just over 1 Month ago that Obama was trying to raise taxes on those very same "small business owners" Don't think that they will forget that in 2012 Mr. President.
4. Free Enterprise: "But because it’s not always profitable for companies to invest in basic research, throughout history our government has provided cutting-edge scientists and inventors with the support that they need. That’s what planted the seeds for the Internet. That’s what helped make possible things like computer chips and GPS."
I guess he's referring to the free market that he hates so much and has tried to kill over the last 2yrs. He really talks out of both sides of his mouth. You can't be a supporter of the free market and in the same breath say the Government has provided the support for innovation thought our history. I don't recall Henry Ford or Bill Gates giving the Government the credit for their success. I know it's hard to for a liberal to understand but, Government doesn't encourage innovation, it gets in the way.
5. Education: "The biggest impact on a child’s success comes from the man or woman at the front of the classroom. In South Korea, teachers are known as “nation builders.” Here in America, it’s time we treated the people who educate our children with the same level of respect. We want to reward good teachers and stop making excuses for bad ones."
I agree with everything he said here. I don't care for the comparison to South Korea, but I can live with that. The problem here is, that as we all know Obama is a big supporter of unions. If he truly wants to improve the quality of our teachers, we need to reform or better yet, get rid of teachers unions. Unions do exactly the opposite of what Mr. Obama wants to accomplish, they protect the under performers and lump everyone together in some kind of one size fits all labor contract. Most only reward teachers because of tenure not quality. They provide no incentive to strive for excellence. Before Obama talks about improving education, he better look at his union buddies first.
6. Jobs: "Our infrastructure used to be the best – but our lead has slipped. South Korean homes now have greater Internet access than we do. Countries in Europe and Russia invest more in their roads and railways than we do. China is building faster trains and newer airports. Meanwhile, when our own engineers graded our nation’s infrastructure, they gave us a “D.”
The President offered very little on the subject of unemployment. He pounded that same old infrastructure drum, roads, bridges and railroads. I thought that's what we spent almost 1 Trillion dollars for in 2008 with the Stimulus bill? How many times is he going to try to sell us on the myth that our economic recovery will be based on essentially road construction jobs? How about tax cuts or offshore drilling for starters? Or maybe look at a fair tax system. You can't expect our business owners to start hiring when they don't even know what their tax burden will be 2yrs from now. He really can't be that oblivious can he?
7. Health Care: "Now, I’ve heard rumors that a few of you have some concerns about the new health care law. So let me be the first to say that anything can be improved. If you have ideas about how to improve this law by making care better or more affordable, I am eager to work with you. We can start right now by correcting a flaw in the legislation that has placed an unnecessary bookkeeping burden on small businesses."
I can't stand the arrogance he showed by making a joke out of this. This one is simple. The American people don't want Obamacare. There is no doubt we need health reform, but not this kind. By the way Mr. President, if you were really interested in ideas, you would have included more people in the debate. You and your party passed the bill that you wanted simply because you could. Let's not try to act like you're interested in anyone else's opinion.
My summary is this: Obama once again missed an opportunity to change course and lead the Nation. He instead recycled old talking points and promises. He tried to appear more as a moderate President by talking about the free market ect.. But underneath the pretty words was the same socialistic ideology.

Join me in the New Year on Facebook
Hello Friends,
As we say goodbye to 2010 and welcome a New Year. The challenges we face as a Nation unfortunately do not end on December 31st. For many of us, the New Year brings the hope of a new start and the promise of a better day. There is nothing that can bring hope and promise the way Freedom can. It is our duty as Americans to fight for our Nation and preserve it for the next generation. Ronald Reagan said: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same” I invite you to join me in the New Year as we stand for Freedom together. Click “Like” on our Facebook page and please invite your friends to join. Together we will take back our Country. Thank you for your support…

Independence Day
On the eve of July 4th weekend, I thought it would be appropriate that the subject of this Blog post should be about Independence. Of course there is no better place to start than the document that serves as the blue print of our Nation, The Declaration of Independence.
One of the most famous sections of the Declaration reads: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". The problem is, we too seldom hear the words that immediately follow this famous section. The words read: "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly"
Let's look at this through the context of today.
1. "All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator"
From the very beginning of our Nation, the acknowledgement of God and the right to honor him without the interference of Government, is one of the main reasons our Country even exists. Our Founders felt this would be accomplished by forming a Nation that stood on Christian principals. That's what the separation of church and state is about, not the twisted interpretation that we see these days. I never thought I would see the day when The President of The United States would stand in front of the World and proclaim that "we are not a Christian Nation" Obama will not even recognize the National day of prayer. I know that there has been a coordinated effort by the left to remove God from every aspect of our lives, because Christian principals are the complete opposite and stand in the way of advancing the liberal agenda. We live in a very twisted time when all that is good becomes wrong, and all that is wrong is now acceptable. This is a very dangerous road we are on and we better wake up fast.
2. "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"
There has never been an Administration, or Congress that has had such disregard for the will of the people the way Obama and the rest of the Demo-Com party have. Just look at the Health Care disaster. There was a clear disregard for the overwhelming majority opposing the bill. How about the Cap & Trade bill, Obama's handling of National Security, The rights given to terrorists, the out of control spending. The fact is, that Obama doesn't care about the will or consent of the people, he only cares about advancing his left wing socialist agenda. That's what Obama's administration has always been about, it's never been about recovery or strengthening America. When he campaigned on a platform of "Change" he absolutely meant it.
3. "Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government"
Of course I am not calling for the abolishment of our Government; I am however calling for the abandonment of its current direction. If we continue on the path that Obama and the Demo-Com party are leading us down, we will find ourselves in an irreversible position that will reshape America. There is no doubt that our Government under the polices of the Obama administration has become destructive, therefore we must exercise our right to alter it beginning this November.
My friends, this is our moment to take a stand for freedom, this is the moment to take a stand for our children and future generations. Will you stand? will you fight? Never before has our liberty, our constitution and the very identity of America been under attack like it is today. Never before have we been faced with the possibility of losing America and becoming no different than any other country. We are an exceptional people that are blessed to live in an exceptional Nation.
I believe that the battle we are currently fighting, is America's second war of Independence. In the same way our ancestors stood up against an oppressive Government and declared Independence, so must we stand against all those who threaten our liberty. I cannot help but to have a certain degree of anxiety when I look to the future of our great Nation because of what is at risk. I pray that Americans from all over this land will continue to join together and with one voice say; This will not be the generation that allows freedom and liberty to die. Only by the grace of almighty God and the determination of this Nation shall we win this second war of Independence. I encourage my fellow Americans to raise the stars and stripes this 4th of July as a sign of unity for the cause of freedom. Mr. President, you campaigned as someone who would unite America, although not the way you anticipated, you have succeeded.

The Difference
My family and I have just returned from an incredible vacation in the Dominican Republic, where we spent time relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Punta Cana. As I soaked up some Sun and Dominican culture, I couldn't help but feel certain sense of pride every time someone asked me where I was from, it was a great feeling to say: The United Stated of America. One of the first things that I noticed during our stay was the rate of currency exchange, it was somewhere around 35 Dominican for each American dollar, but that wasn't the interesting part. The thing I found most interesting was the people in that Country preferred American dollars over their own Dominican currency. It was a great sense of pride to know that my Country's currency was so sought after even beyond our borders.
The second thing I noticed, was the outstanding level of customer service each resort employee provided and the pride they took in their job. This was true with everyone, waiters, janitors, cooks, landscapers, it didn't matter what position the was person held. I began to wonder why these people were so dedicated, and what the driving force was. I started asking questions to see if I could find out what the secret to success was at this resort and what the difference was. I found out a couple of things:
1. Almost every employee I spoke to said they were grateful to God for providing them with a good job. I know you Liberals who are reading this are probably angered just by the mention of God, but these people have the sense to recognize the Divine hand of God at work and give him thanks for his provisions. This is a lesson that we can all learn from.
2. The level of service they provided was so great, that I initially thought that it must be the compensation, however, this vacation was thousands less than comparable accommodations here in the U.S. Based on that, I wondered how much they could be paying their employees to keep them so engaged. I was surprised to find that the average monthly wage was between $400-$500 American dollars, I also found they depend greatly on tips to supplement their income. This is a very smart strategy on the part of the resort, it's essentially an incentive based pay structure, that is a great way to ensure great service. Furthermore, they work 12-14hr days and only receive 4 days off per Month. Despite all of this, they do their absolute best to serve the customer, because they take pride in what they do, and of course their tip and ultimately their income depend on it.
I know that this would be a great opportunity for Obama and other like minded liberals to apologize for America and our success. Needless to say, I didn't do that.
As I processed all of this in my head, I realized what the difference was, it was the lack of the Liberalism. For starters, the fact that these people honor God through their work is amazing. The Liberals have been on an anti-God campaign for years, and We have allowed them to remove God from from a large portion of our society, all for the sake of being politically correct. Despite what Obama and the libs say or do, our Nation's Founders built this Country on Christian principals. We would be wise take a lesson from our Founding Fathers and the Dominican people and allow God to be a bigger part of our society once again. I guarantee we would have a happier, less stressed and better work force.
The other thing that made the difference was, the lack of the entitlement attitude. The Liberals and their Union allies have brain washed Americans into believing that we are entitled to high wages, free health care, retirement benefits and the list goes on. Instead of being thankful for being employed, we seem to think that the employer should be thankful to us just for showing up, we place place no value in the quality of work. Just look at GM, they haven't built a decent car for decades, and despite the lack of quality, the Unions forced GM to pay higher wages, better benefits and better retirement plans, of course we see how that worked out. What ever happened getting paid based on what you do and how well you do it? This is one of the main problems with Liberalism, the Liberal/Socialist way of Government creates so many entitlement programs, that it provides no incentive to better yourself.Ronald Reagan had this to say about Government entitlements " We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added" America was founded upon the notion that the people have the ability to govern, provide for themselves and pursue dreams wherever they may lead. That's the difference between Obama's Socialist agenda and freedom.

The Highlights
Let me begin by saying, that over the past month or so, I have had a hard time deciding on a subject to Blog about. There has certainly not been a lack of worthy subjects, but just too many things going on in our Nation to just pick one. So, I decided to talk about the highlights that hit me the most. I hope you enjoy reading.
Let's begin with the appointment of current Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. With all do respect, each President is given the opportunity to nominate Supreme Court justices as positions become available. This President has had 2 such opportunities in less than 2 yrs. Both nominees are in my opinion mistakes and should never be considered for a seat on the highest court in the land. To be fair, Ms. Kagan has a very impressive resume and an academic career that few people can compare to. Behind all of the academic prestige and impressive job titles you will find, some serious concerns and some point of agreement with Ms. Kagan. In 1997 Ms. Kagan supported a ban on late term abortions that was not supported by the Demo-Com party leadership at that time. She also came under fire from the liberals for saying that she agreed with the section battlefield law that talks about indefinite detention without a trial, and she felt it should apply outside of traditional battlefields.Ms. Kagan was quoted saying: "that someone suspected of helping finance Al Qaeda should be subject to battlefield law — indefinite detention without a trial — even if he were captured in a place like the Philippines rather than a physical battle zone".
You could be thinking that maybe she's not that bad after all right? wrong, you see, here is the genius of the Obama machine at work. They have become masters of using smoke and mirrors to try and deceive the American people, this is no different. Obama is taking a person who very few people know anything about with no judicial experience and nominating her to the supreme court. have you asked yourself why? Ms. Kagan's limited political resume looks to be Conservative based on the examples I just gave you right? That's the beauty of it. It's hard for Conservatives to attack her as a liberal because of her record regardless how small it may be. If the GOP makes an attempt to stop her confirmation it will play right into the "party of no" label Obama is trying to place of the GOP. If they don't block her, then Conservatives may become upset at Republicans because they didn't fight back against Obama. I believe MS. Kagan is a liberal at heart and will be an advocate of Obama's agenda. How do I know? Simple, Obama hates Conservatism, he would never have nominated Ms. Kagan if he felt she had a Conservative point of view. Oh, and on a side note. Ms. Kagan sat on the board for none other than British Petroleum (BP) You know, the very same company and industry that Obama has done nothing but verbally destroy for the past few years. It's funny how you don't see that talked about in the media and how it seems to have disappeared from her Wikipedia profile.
Now, I would like to share something with you that has been on my mind as of late.
On the morning of September 11th 2001, our great Nation was viciously attacked. Attacked by a group of hate filled individuals with the sole purpose of murdering thousands of innocent people. It was that day and that moment in time that our Nation changed. Do you remember the shock of that day? Do you remember the sadness and hurt as you watched the smoke rise from the Twin Towers? Do you remember the fear you had for your family and the uncertainty of where they may strike next? The horror of watching people jump from the tower's windows. The numbness, anger and disbelief as the two towers fell. Do you remember the hope you had in your heart that more survivors would be found? you kept telling yourself, maybe more people made it out. You asked how this could be possible on the U.S. soil. Do you remember the sense of pride and Patriotism you had when the American flag was raised over ground zero? The hope we all had when The President of The United States stood on a pile of rubble and inspired the Nation. It was a relief to know The President was in charge and ready to defend America, regardless of who in the World may have disapproved. Do you remember hearing strange words most of us had never heard before like, Jihad, Taliban & extreme Islam. Suddenly names like Bin Laden became a regular topic of conversation. I can tell you for sure, I remember clearly.
Now only 9 yrs later, Obama wants us to forget about it. All in the name political correctness he wants us to forget our American pride. He wants us to forget why we are fighting and what freedom is all about. He wants us to embrace those who hate America and plot to kill us. He wants us to feel ashamed of who we are as a Nation and the privilege we Americans enjoy. Why would The President of The United States want us to forget and feel ashamed? because as we remember the fallen and the heroes, we remember liberty and what it means to be free and how scary it is when freedom is threatened. Don't forget, liberty and freedom are the sworn enemies of Obama's Socialist agenda. Friends, if we forget who we are, we will surrender our freedom. At his core, Obama is ashamed of America and I believe he hates what we stand for. He is a Muslim sympathizer because of his upbringing with His Father and Uncle both being Muslims. He spent 20yrs as member of Jeremiah Wright's church listening to Mr. Wright say things like "God D***" America. He has a core belief that America is an evil empire and it is his job to bring us down to size.
Just look at his actions. He has spent more time visiting Muslim countries than any others. He went on his apologize for America tour. He even allowed The President of foreign country (Mexico) stand in front of the White House and criticize Arizona's right to protect itself, and Obama agreed with him. He has made no attempt to defend America, he has only put America down every chance he gets.
My final point is about Memorial Day. As I raised the flag in my front yard today, I spent a moment to reflect on what Memorial Day was all about. I thought of all the men and women overseas right now in places I have never heard of. I though about men like Pat Tillman who gave up fame,fortune and his life for his country. I remembered my Grandfather who served in WWII, he was a hard working man who personified the American dream and could have cared less about politics. I find it sickening that Obama has decided to not attend the ceremony at Arlington cemetery to take a 3 day weekend. Not only does he apologize for America at every turn, he shows no respect for those who have served and given their life in defense of this great Nation. Obama is a disgrace to the Presidency. Mr. President, I am not ashamed of America, I am ashamed of YOU!!
Let's begin with the appointment of current Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. With all do respect, each President is given the opportunity to nominate Supreme Court justices as positions become available. This President has had 2 such opportunities in less than 2 yrs.

If the GOP makes an attempt to stop her confirmation it will play right into the "party of no" label Obama is trying to place of the GOP. If they don't block her, then Conservatives may become upset at Republicans because they didn't fight back against Obama. I believe MS. Kagan is a liberal at heart and will be an advocate of Obama's agenda. How do I know? Simple, Obama hates Conservatism, he would never have nominated Ms. Kagan if he felt she had a Conservative point of view. Oh, and on a side note. Ms. Kagan sat on the board for none other than British Petroleum (BP) You know, the very same company and industry that Obama has done nothing but verbally destroy for the past few years. It's funny how you don't see that talked about in the media and how it seems to have disappeared from her Wikipedia profile.
Now, I would like to share something with you that has been on my mind as of late.
On the morning of September 11th 2001, our great Nation was viciously attacked. Attacked by a group of hate filled individuals with the sole purpose of murdering thousands of innocent people. It was that day and that moment in time that our Nation changed. Do you remember the shock of that day? Do you remember the sadness and hurt as you watched the smoke rise from the Twin Towers? Do you remember the fear you had for your family and the uncertainty of where they may strike next? The horror of watching people jump from the tower's windows. The numbness, anger and disbelief as the two towers fell. Do you remember the hope you had in your heart that more survivors would be found? you kept telling yourself, maybe more people made it out. You asked how this could be possible on the U.S. soil. Do you remember the sense of pride and Patriotism you had when the American flag was raised over ground zero? The hope we all had when The President of The United States stood on a pile of rubble and inspired the Nation. It was a relief to know The President was in charge and ready to defend America, regardless of who in the World may have disapproved. Do you remember hearing strange words most of us had never heard before like, Jihad, Taliban & extreme Islam. Suddenly names like Bin Laden became a regular topic of conversation. I can tell you for sure, I remember clearly.
Now only 9 yrs later, Obama wants us to forget about it. All in the name political correctness he wants us to forget our American pride. He wants us to forget why we are fighting and what freedom is all about. He wants us to embrace those who hate America and plot to kill us. He wants us to feel ashamed of who we are as a Nation and the privilege we Americans enjoy. Why would The President of The United States want us to forget and feel ashamed? because as we remember the fallen and the heroes, we remember liberty and what it means to be free and how scary it is when freedom is threatened. Don't forget, liberty and freedom are the sworn enemies of Obama's Socialist agenda. Friends, if we forget who we are, we will surrender our freedom. At his core, Obama is ashamed of America and I believe he hates what we stand for. He is a Muslim sympathizer because of his upbringing with His Father and Uncle both being Muslims. He spent 20yrs as member of Jeremiah Wright's church listening to Mr. Wright say things like "God D***" America. He has a core belief that America is an evil empire and it is his job to bring us down to size.
Just look at his actions. He has spent more time visiting Muslim countries than any others. He went on his apologize for America tour. He even allowed The President of foreign country (Mexico) stand in front of the White House and criticize Arizona's right to protect itself, and Obama agreed with him. He has made no attempt to defend America, he has only put America down every chance he gets.
My final point is about Memorial Day. As I raised the flag in my front yard today, I spent a moment to reflect on what Memorial Day was all about. I thought of all the men and women overseas right now in places I have never heard of. I though about men like Pat Tillman who gave up fame,fortune and his life for his country. I remembered my Grandfather who served in WWII, he was a hard working man who personified the American dream and could have cared less about politics. I find it sickening that Obama has decided to not attend the ceremony at Arlington cemetery to take a 3 day weekend. Not only does he apologize for America at every turn, he shows no respect for those who have served and given their life in defense of this great Nation. Obama is a disgrace to the Presidency. Mr. President, I am not ashamed of America, I am ashamed of YOU!!

The Dems Desperation
I know it's been a while since my last post. I really appreciate all of the emails and phone calls asking when I was going to post something on this blog. It's nice to know that people support what I'm doing and I thank you for your kindness. The truth is, there have been so many things taking place over their last month I didn't know where to start. Well, this post is what I came up with, so her it goes......
As the Demo-Coms celebrate their so called "victory" after the Health Care vote. We The People are more energized and determined to take our Country back then ever before. I am so proud of my fellow Americans for taking a stand for Freedom, and not backing down from those who are intent on turning America into another oppressive socialist state. The left may have won the battle, but they will lose the war.
War? yes, in a sense. Not a war in the traditional Military sense, but just as important with a lot of the same reasons for fighting and consequences if we lose. Let me explain. This goes far beyond Health Care, the Demo-Coms or even Obama. This is a battle between two ideologies, and I don't necessarily mean Demo-Com vs. Republican. This is about Freedom vs. Government Oppression. Health Care is only a small piece of the liberal agenda. Ask yourself this question, Why have we gone to war in the past? There are a lot reasons, but you will find at the heart of every Military engagement the United States has participated in, there will be two principal causes, Freedom and Liberty. Whether it has been to defend our own Freedom, or deliver millions from oppressive regimes in countries all around the World, America has been on the front lines every single time.Why? because it is in our DNA as Americans, it is what defines us. This current battle is for our Freedom, our rights granted to us under the Constitution and to preserve our Country and all that is great about it. This is about who we are as a Nation, and what makes us the shining light of hope in the World. President Reagan said is best when he said; "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." This applies today more than ever. Although we are not fighting a Military war, we are still fighting for Freedom and the preservation of the American way of life.
This has obviously become very unsettling to some people as of late. The libs and their comrades in the media have now begun to attack American citizens for exercising their Right to free speech. The most recent campaign of lies by the left has targeted the Tea Party movement and is trying to portray them as violent, racist, sexist and a long list of ridiculous and baseless accusations. They say that what the Tea Party is doing can stir up anger, hate and anti Government movements, they have even compared Members to Timothy Mc Veigh and called them un American. My favorite part is that the libs are calling groups like the Tea "extremists" But Obama issued an order banning certain terms used to refer to Terrorist because we may offend them. So let me get this straight,It's ok to attack American citizens who are peacefully protesting government policies, but we must treat the Terrorist who are plotting to kill us with respect? How ridiculous is that? I just have one question for Obama, Clinton & the rest of the liberal propaganda machine. Where are the examples of violent behavior by the Tea Party? Let me help them with the answer, There are no examples. Mr. President, The Tea Party is not anti government, they are pro freedom! This is nothing but another attempt by the left to distort the truth and divert the attention away from the left wing hijacking of our Nation. Remember, it's not Tea Party members that have been convicted of voter fraud & intimidation like the liberal funded liberal group ACORN.
I never thought I would see the day when terrorist take priority and are treated in higher regard than American citizens. I guess that's the "Change We Can Believe In" right?
What the left doesn't realize, is they are actually helping us with these smear campaigns. Here's how, Liberals always let us know when and where we are being effective against them. When they feel threatened by anyone or any group, they mobilize the propaganda machine and begin attacking all those whom they fear and those who speak truth. Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, The Tea Party, just to name a few. The good news is, that the American people can see right through the smoke and mirrors that the libs are using to confuse and distort.
So with Obama's poll numbers down and almost every Demo-Com fighting for their job in November. The Demo-Coms are in panic mode and are pulling out all the tricks. They are playing to the environmentalist with the cap and tax bill, playing to the Hispanics by opposing the enforcement of our immigrations laws in Arizona, demonizing corporations like Goldman/Sachs despite the fact they gave Obama's Presidential campaign almost 1 Million dollars. They are trying to divide the Country on every front possible. The Dems are desperate, they know that the American people have rejected them and liberalism. Obama was supposed to be the great liberal Messiah, all he has turned out to be is the great liberal mess.
My friends, keep up the good work, but remember this is far from over. We have a long road ahead to 2012. This is our time to fight for freedom, so that our children can experience the same liberties that we have enjoyed. We cannot and will not be the generation that lets freedom become extinct. Thank you for reading and God Bless.

What Now?
Hello Friends,
Tonight is a very sad moment in the history our great Nation. We all watched the sickening display of disregard for the will of the people by our Government. For the first time in our 200 year history our Constitution was spit on and ignored by the very people who are supposed to uphold and protect it. The President of The United States stood in front of the American people and had the audacity to say; that the vote tonight shows that the Government works for the people. He applauded, condoned and endorsed the way this Congress has trampled on freedom and liberty.
Friends, I write this to you not in a spirit of defeat, but in resolve and confidence. The spirit of America that is grounded in freedom and liberty is alive and well in these GREAT! United States. This can be seen everywhere you look, the people of this great Nation are rising up to let their voices be heard. From the thousands who marched on Washington DC today to those who phoned their elected officials to oppose this Health Care bill. We have not seen a passion and pride for America like we are seeing now in decades. This is not the moment to lose hope and give up on our ideals. This is the time to unite as one people and fight back against this strong armed socialist, left wing agenda being forced upon us. It is time for us to be the generation that turns the tide.
Throughout our history, we have confronted all those who have threatened our freedom and liberty even beyond our borders. However, this threat is not from a foreign enemy, but is coming from within our borders and lead by our own Government. Once again we must stand tall against anyone that aims to impose their will and take away our rights. How do we do this?
1. Exercise our right to free speech to speak out against Obama and the Democrats.Get the message out. Tell you friends and family why this is so important.
2. Get involved. Find out who the Conservative candidates are running for Local, State & Federal positions. Go out and support them!
3. VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! Despite what Obama, Pelosi and Reid do in Washington. We still have the final say. It is our vote that can change the direction of our country. If you want Real "Change You Can Believe In" Go to the ballot box on November 2ND and fire Nancy Pelosi and all of her Socialist friends.
The passage of this Health Care bill is not the end, but only the beginning of our fight.
Our Nation has faced and overcome many challenged in the past and this will be no different. We will win this fight together. Thank you for reading and may God Bless you all.
