I don’t write much anymore, these are just random thoughts that I have had since the Health Care bill passed, and on most days it seems futile to rail against the Federal government and it’s supporters.

I don’t know how we got here, this past 10+ years have been like watching a train wreck called the Fedball-Express (no insult to the actual company by a similar name intended) that just wont go away, yet gets ever worse as time goes on.

If it’s not the Republicans throwing money around like drunken sailors, the Democrats not to be out done, take it to even greater extremes.

I’m in my mid 40’s now, so maybe I pay more attention, but growing up and even into my late 20’s it seems to me we had a Federal Government, but it was in DC, back then in Ohio, and on to other places I lived, it might as well have been on the Moon I guess. Maybe I was too busy trying to make my own way in the world to notice it.

I knew it did things like manage the EPA, and send our Military where it was needed to go, I was part of that same Military under both Regan, & Bush and then Clinton.

There was this abstract notion of taxes, but we all had to pay them and people didn’t seem to think about them like they do now. We didn’t always like the taxes I guess, but it wasn’t to the point people took to the streets in protest. The Federal Government was there, but it never seemed to touch our lives in the ways it has started to this last 2 decades. To me I guess it started more or less with Clinton.

None the less, I’ve more or less resigned myself to the fact that the Health care bill passed, the Federal government will take over health care, & we will loose another part of our freedoms. To me, it really comes as no surprise the Dem’s got their way, not when nearly half the country STILL approves of the job Obama is doing. And foolishly instead of thinking things though that same half of the country handed the entire economy, and the future of this nation to the feel good rhetoric of the snake oil salesmen over the last 4 years.

They wanted to teach those “republicans” a lesson. I guess they did. They wanted “change” I guess they got it.

Personally I expect I will see my health care costs and taxes rise significantly, I don’t believe for one second anything these people in DC are saying….

I’ll have to give up yet more of my life’s work & liberty in the interest of “social justice” so that others get a “fair chance” or at least that’s what Obama and his cohorts seem to want me to believe.

Obama said once words to the effect that “we all have to have some skin in this game”. Sorry no sale.

It’s not out of a sense of selfishness that I say that, but rather, simply put, I’ve had my skin in the game now almost 30 years, since I was only 15 working my 1st job. I’ve paid taxes, I’ve paid SSI, I’ve paid and paid..now they want more “skin”. Fact of the matter is, I don’t have much more “skin” to give.

Sometimes I wonder if these people in DC and on down the through the states and local governments just fail to realize that someone making average wages and average incomes just can’t afford the never ending array of additional taxes to fund their projects and wish lists.

I’ve long pondered the disconnect between me and my Federal Government, It’s almost like the political class are well off, and they truly think that is how everyone should be or even is, they see the world, and the country through a prism of their own successes and they think that is how it is for millions of us out there. Fact is they are way off the mark. They aren’t even in the ball park.

And I guess maybe if you’re Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid with net worth’s in the millions, paying more taxes doesn’t hurt nearly as much as it does the rest of us “common folk”. I think they just don’t understand that at all.

A more bitter thought is, that in fact, yes, they do know. They know damn well what it’s like for the middle class, and they simply do not care. Their agendas and their ideals, their thirst for power, and their dirty backroom deals to keep that power trump all else. They’ll lie to us and tell us how great our lives will be if they just get their agendas enacted…But in reality, They want us all dependent on the largess of the Federal Government, far more easy to control us that way.

And the in the end …the sum of it all…As this bill takes effect it’s highly likely the Federal government is going to make it just that much harder for me, my family, and millions of other middle class Americans to make ends meet.

We are told by the shrills on TV, and these people in DC that we are on the eve of a “sweeping reform” of the US Health-care system. It will be the eve of a new era of “American progress’ as the left is wont to hype, affordable and cheap health insurance for the masses. Prove it. I’m not buying.

The powers to be continue to crow about how great this reform will be, even with reports surfacing to the contrary, across a wide range of sources, that this bill will not cost what it was advertised as, but considerably more. But hey, that’s yet to be proven, so in the spirit of being a hard working American, lets just be neutral or attempt to be and ignore that part….and focus on what we know to be true. And what is true is the simple fact that the Federal government has a poor track record when it comes to management of …well almost everything.

Social Security is broke…raided by these same people that are selling us this “health-care reform”.
Our VA hospitals are a mess….ask any vet like me, most of us, unless desperate, wont go near the places.
Amtrak is bleeding red ink…
The US Postal service looses billions…and still cant seem to do half the job as Fed-Ex or UPS.
Billions in wasted funds for “No Child left behind” and still …Our schools are a joke….
Billions spent for “welfare for the needy” and still 1/3 of our population wallows in poverty, and the inner cities grow worse…
The IRS is drowning in red Ink…and still tax compliance cost this economy hundreds of billions every year.
Our federal courts are a joke…yet child predators and other psycho paths are running wild, our children preyed on like game.
We’re trillions of dollars in the hole as a country for Federal programs already underwater….and still they keep adding more debt.

Need I go on?

If an Obama supporter or a even an honest Democrat can come on here and point to ONE system the government runs that isn’t bleeding gallons of red ink, that is half efficient as a private run firm or facility, I’d sure feel a whole lot better about them running health care. Trouble is they can’t. It simply doesn’t exist.

It’s been over a year of wheeling, dealing, & shady political tricks in D.C. and it’s all come down to this point.

The Democrats are feeling “giddy” about things.

Really; did a elected statesman in our hallowed halls of government really say they were “giddy”? How quaint.

Perhaps that’s the whole problem with our nation today is that, we’re “giddy”……we’ve elected a bunch of ruffled pantie wearing school girls to run the country, rather than honest statesmen.
They “feel” more than they actually think.

The electorate is part to blame…seems the entire country has become nothing but “feelings” on the issues that face our country rather than being able to think critically. One only need to browse any of the comments on just about any new site to see the “feelings” on display.

Of course, the conservatives are “feeling” too…. feeling outrage.

No-one seems to knows how many people were in D.C. to protest this latest governmental decree, 10’s of thousands? But there was certainly outrage and anger out there, and it’s not going away any time soon from the looks of things.

The headlines are full of things like protesters hurling racial invectives and threats at elected officials, and of course not to be outdone, sneering jackass officials like Hastings (D) Florida, sarcastically snarling to the Republicans “the minority party knows what the country wants”.

And we grow more divided than ever despite the promises of this man in the the white house to the contrary.

Eve of a new era for America …Or maybe it’s the eve of an all out hot war against the entrenched political class in D.C. and their supporters?

RCP Polls show 60+ percent of the country says were heading in the wrong direction, & more disapprove of Obama than approve for the first time since his election. It varies by poll but as I mentioned above Americans STILL even after this boondoggle support this guy nearly by half. Madness.

Even worse is the congressional approval ratings and the fact that 68% of the respondents in a recent FOX news poll say they want to clean house and remove every current elected official in DC….that’s just two or three set of polls…some seriously bad numbers flying around out there but the DC Establishment , Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Graham, ….all of them Republican and Democrat alike seem oblivious. What’s it going to take, for these people to wake the hell up, blood shed?

And it might yet come down to that, Seems to me that it is only going to take one spark, an unruly crowd at a town hall, A Capitol Policeman with a nervous trigger finger, a whack job out there with a gun… a politician or one of their staff will get hurt, the Federal government will react badly ….and it will start. 10 elected officials reported death threats?… stop and think, that’s only what they reported, who knows how many of them are under threat of violence, at this stage, it wouldn’t surprise me that 90% of those senators and congressmen are in the cross hairs…The cracks are showing.

A Nigerian man just tried to bring down an airliner over Detroit. Had he succeeded, he would have murdered 350 Innocent people. Merry Christmas from the Religion of Peace I guess.

Janet Nappy-Headed-Ho Napalito(I can say that I’m not a hot shot radio jock, and this my blog.) Says “the system worked”…Huh? What? Come again? It did?

It worked for whom there Janet of the triple chins? The Islamic Jihadi bent on wanton murder and destruction of our fellow Americans? Your DHS Foo is weak Jan baby…

So I have a question.

Has the Obama administration and his Czar’s and god knows what else they have going on, figured out that despite all their touchy feely rhetoric, blaming America for the worlds ills, & kow-towing to every tin pot dictator in the world, that …..well Gee to be candid, their approach…well it doesn’t seem to be working all that well with our endless list of antagonists now does it? Well?

A Nigerian Man tries to down a jet full of people just trying to come home for the Holidays, Hugo Chavez spits out more drivel claiming he can still smell the devil or some other nonsense, (really that dude needs to catch a bullet already), and I read in one stock report, The Chinese are now pissed off because Obama just slapped a staggering 35% tariff on their oil pipes ….of course ..at the behest of and to protect his US Steel workers Union cronies…protectionist trade theory with, our biggest trading partner who by the way owns most of that 1.2 trillion in debt you’ve rung up…Gee that sure will help the economy Bambi…*snort*

So tell me again? How’s that “Hope -N-Change” working out for ya these days? I guess okay if your in the Steel Workers Union Boss cabal eh?

Better yet; tell me when Obama and his clown parade of cohorts are going to buy a clue and figure out how to do anything other than try to pin blame on the past for what is clearly their own short falls and continual errors? Anyone?

Happy New Years 2010….it’s gonna be a LONG year I think.

BAH!!

If I hear one more person accusing those of us that oppose this monstrosity called Health-Care reform of being “callous” “uncaring” (insert the insult of your choice here _________), one more time I swear I am going to punch someone in the face.

The whole mantra goes like this: “You’re selfish because you don’t want poor people to have health-care!” Or the ever popular “only a greedy conservative (I’ve noticed that on most forums…pointy headed posters seem to somehow think they get bonus points for skewing the spelling and making it “KKKonservative”) would deny those less fortunate than themselves health care!” “Only a racist would deny others Health-Care!” and on and on the litany goes.

So okay I’ll play the insult game with the liberals, and be all the nasty things they claim I am for refusing to hand over my very personal health care choices, not to mention a good chunk of my salary to some faceless donkey’s ass in Washington D.C.

You’re right my hysterical little friend….I DON’T CARE!!! I’M SELFISH!!

You want to know why I don’t care? Why I am so selfish? Well let me tell you why.

I started my Work life almost 30 years ago. You want to know what I was doing?

I was an orderly in a Nursing Home. I emptied fouled bedpans and cleaned shit off of the sheets and grandma, when grandma lost control of her bowels.
I cleaned up the puke and the blood and the urine when that was needed to be done too.
I watched old people die, alone, heartbroken, forgotten by the world.

From there I went onto the arcane art of morticians assistant. I’ve been in a morgue with the dead, helping to embalm them for burial, I’ve watched the mortician slide the embalming rods into their bellies and break up their internal organs and watched a pump as it sucked out the body fluids….. as a 17 year kid. (You do know that they do that don’t you? No? Watch an embalming someday..it’s a real screamer of a time let me tell you.)

Miraculously I never did end up in a fast food joint….Perish the thought.

Facing 18, and realizing I was going no where in life at breakneck speed, I decided it was time for a change. I joined the Navy.

So yeah, back then I was part of government controlled health care and I saw the best and worst of it all for 10 years. Being so young I had little use for it, but I did, at times, use it, and every single time I did, I seemingly ended up worse off then when I went in for whatever ailment I was seeking treatment for.

Now they want me to come back to that three ring circus? I don’t think so sparky.

When I left the Navy, I went with a private company with good benefits, and I still am to this day working for yet another private company with decent benefits.

Not making much money back then, I worked other jobs on the side. One job was unloading semis, lousy wages, long hot hours on a loading dock and back breaking work. But I did it.

I also worked on a Horse Farm in exchange for room and board during those first few years out of the military. I shoveled horse manure and mucked out urine soaked horse stalls at 4 am in freezing ass cold, and stifling heat. I’ve been bit, kicked, and stepped on, by horses so many times I lost count. But I did it. Go on call me a “red-neck” Because I am I’ve worked throwing hay into a barn or mending fences until the sun burned my neck to a crisp…I wear the moniker proudly.

I’ve watched the government pillage my check for Social Security which I will never see, I’ve seen them take 20% and more of my earnings, and then HALF of my hourly wages when I dared to work overtime in an effort to make my lot in life better….and now?…Now they want more. More Taxes, more health insurance costs, more, more, more. In short they are going to redistribute my wealth, what little I have scratched out thus far that is.. to others.

Nay!! I won’t stand for it!! It’s not theirs to give!!

So why don’t I care if someone else doesn’t have the same access to Health Care that I do?

Because I bleeping EARNED it that’s why.

I’ve worked my fingers to the bone in my life time, I’ve done probably some of the worst jobs in the world, and I scratched, clawed, and fought to get to the level I am today.

No-One handed me a job, A 401k, A college education, A Health Care plan…..I went out in the world and I EARNED THEM. I’ve paid my taxes, I’ve given to my fellow man, I’ve done my part. I’ve paid my dues as an American both in taxes and blood…..I will do NO MORE!

Until anyone that DARES accuse me of being selfish can point at someone …just one person out there that has worked as hard and a diligently in life as I have to overcome the odds, that has made the sacrifices in life that I have, that has busted their tail as I have to succeed in life, that hasn’t mewled and pissed and moaned about how they are being mistreated….. yet somehow just hasn’t made it….I don’t want to hear it.

Chances are you’re going to find it hard to find such a person in America. The fact remains America IS the land of opportunity…those that try succeed, those that don’t fail. It is that simple.

A true American takes one thing to heart. And that one thing is “Failure is not an option.”

Anyone else calling themselves an American that believes otherwise, that somehow it’s okay to fail because of the color of ones skin, or whatever other qualifier should give them special status over another American…is not a true American, they are a fraud, an impostor…. a dime store cowboy wannabe.

Yes! You’re right!! I simply don’t care. Because one simple fact in all the hysteria over health care and the “30 million suffering with out it” is this, of those 30 million probably less than 1 or 2 % of them are actually people that for whatever reason are truly in need, the rest of them are illegals, moochers, slackers, and free loaders and yeah they can go screw themselves….with a rusty nail embedded 2×4. I owe them nor any pandering jack ass in a suit from D.C. NOTHING.

Bottom line to all you bleeding hearts crying about the poor, about the minority flavor of the week, about whatever victim group is your cup of tea….is simply this:

I nor do millions of Americans like me owe the black man, the red man, the yellow man, the white man, or for that matter the man in the white house a damn thing…. they owe it themselves to make their own way in America.

And by the way? I don’t owe YOU anything either my bleeding heart friend …Election of your Poser in Chief and your so called “mandate” be damned.

Take note…and try to take that “something” by force at your peril… for I will not submit.

As I browsed through blogs, the news etc, I kept looking for information on the Coupe in Honduras, and the White house Kremlin reaction to it.
I fully expected Obambo to stick his foot in it once again, and predictably like the sun rises in the East, and right on cue heeeeer’s Barak!!
Well that didn’t take long I guess.

Obama came right out and said he denounced the overthrow of the Honduran president. Well that would be just swell 0-bamai except for one, well two little things:

1. The Honduran President Violated the Honduran Constitution

2. The Honduran President’s attempt to ram rod this was overruled by the Honduran Supreme court.

Yet the leader of the free world *gak* refused to support the Honduran people when they demanded that their elected President adhere to the Honduran Constitution.

Nice Obama, tell me, did you ever see a Constitution, ANY constitution you DID want upheld? I mean we know you don’t give a furry rat’s ass about ours, that much is now painfully obvious to all but the most mentally defective, but come on work with me here, Just ONE..?

Really, I’d like to see it, because not only do you routinely piss all over ours in your quest for remolding a country into whatever your arrogant over pampered terrorist coddling ass thinks is should be, now you’re off upholding two bit tin pot screw balls like this Honduran president that ran so afoul of his countries constitution they… forcefully removed him?

Jesus on a pogostick, can’t you do ANY thing right??

How in the blue fuck did you get elected in the first place? Oh right, ACORN and 52% of the country on Prozac or stoned to the gills watching American Idol, silly me, I forgot.

What; Maybe you’re a little worried ? Are you getting a little nagging feeling now that if it happened in Honduras, that maybe, just maybe, it could happen here?

And it should, you and that sorry excuse for a administration, and your cohorts in the house and Senate should be run out of DC at the end of a pitch fork.
Far as I’m concerned, it can’t happen fast enough.
Moron.

Here are some sobering numbers to read in direct opposition of the CBO, what the Media is reporting, and EPA’s, warm fuzzy rhetoric, of the C/T bill amounting to *only* the price of a “postage stamp per day”:

My congressional District, already well below national median income will see on average, a Cap and Trade cost of living increase, of 500.00 dollars a year. In my neck of the woods, that’s a death knell for almost every small business owner in the area who already live on razor thin profit margins.

That’s a “stamp” costing well over a dollar per day.

We’ll let the “inconvenient truth” slide for a second that this once again makes Barak Hussein Obama A liar. Oh screw it, ignoring the obvious won’ make it go away.

Barak Huessien Obama is a two faced, backstabbing, snake in the grass LIAR.

And I quote…”95% of Americans will receive a tax cut”

LIES, DAMN LIES, AND MORE LIES, You can’t defend it, you can’t justify it, you can’t deny it. Those are his EXACT words, yet this Cap and Trade tax doesn’t target some bogey man “fat cat rich white guy”, this tax doesn’t target the evil Haliburton KBR, Dick Cheney Cabal, it doesn’t target rich liberals in NYC and LA.

IT TARGETS YOU OBAMA VOTER.

500.00 Dollar electric bill just arrived? Little unsure just how you’re going to come up with that money?

How’s that feel pal? Not so good does it? Already out of work? Can’t pay the Electric bill this month, you better brace yourself, come 6 months from now you’ll be choosing between having electric for hot water and food for your children. You think the Utilities companies aren’t going to start hijacking rates early to protect themselves from this bullshit? No? You better think again.

Which incidentally, who is the nit wit mouth breathing moron that came up with that stamp a day garbage? I haven’t mailed a bill in over a decade, I pay everything including the US Governments extortion money, AKA taxes, online. My Parents as old fashioned as they may be, don’t use stamps much anymore, they have a computer, if they do it, I’m pretty sure 90% of Americans out there don’t buy a whole lot of stamps these days either. What alternate reality is that government drone living in?

Why do these lying weasels insist on trying to paint ‘purty pictures’ for the masses, and in doing so directly insult their intelligence? I wish I was standing with in striking range of that one, I really do, watching them pick their teeth up would give me great joy.

Alas, on to those numbers I mentioned, read em and weep…..This study was done by two PhD level Economists. And it appears on the Heritage Foundations Website

Link 1

Link 2

The Bill has passed the house, and is heading to the Senate. If this passes, we should be in the streets, armed to the teeth and looking for blood, enough is enough.

Sadly, as I watch the destruction of my homeland in utter dismay, my voice silenced, I lean ever closer and closer to the Militant. I think many Americans feel likewise, many are becoming unwilling to accept this governments actions, tolerate their abuses, nor will they continue to succumb to their vile agendas one more day.

It is an ever increasing worry, a nagging doubt that says; A point is rapidly being reached where negotiation and debate is no longer a viable alternative, we have no voice.

How many million Americans do not agree with the agenda being shoved down our throats by Obama and less than 1000 elected officials political elites, yet they refuse to listen?

So now, who are you going to believe?

(Strangely when I ask a Obama Supporter that very question, I get huffy nonsensical rhetoric).

Al Gore, with his souped up Power Point slide show and his claws in the carbon offset swindle, making him a wealthy man?

A political appointee of Obama’s in the CBO?

Another political appointee of Obama’s in the EPA?

Or the reality, the fact global warming is a farce, a myth concocted by radical environmentalists and Marxists?

In the end the “stamp a day” mentality is exactly what is wrong with our government, they have no qualms, none what so ever, of slapping additional burdens on the American people, they simply poo-poo it away with lofty rhetoric, and they refuse to understand that they are not by the constitution allowed to do so, they have no Legal right to do so, yet they do.

I have a choice to buy stamps, I choose not to, but with this bill I have no choice and sooner or later, when too many choices are taken away form the American people, there will be a reckoning, and I fear it will be bloody.

UPDATE **

The Bobo Files digs thru this abortion of a bill, and finds out, low income earners will get money, cash, shekles, call it what you will, placed directly into their bank accounts via the bill.

Worked and paid your electrical bills? Uncle Sam is going to take that money, and give it to the “poor”. In Cold hard Cash.

Just asking because, well you know, they are so much like the Democrats Communists these days, that it is almost impossible to distinguish between the two any more.

The GOP is having an exceedingly bad ..well last couple months, but this last week is a disaster.

Of course I’mwrting about  the scandal involving Governor Mark Sanford of S.C.

It reads like a bad bad dime store novel, a mistress, flying around the globe, cheating on his wife, lying to cover it all up, hiding the facts from his staff, it just goes on and on and on.

But the worst of it, is the damage done to the movement in the country to push for lower taxes, and smaller and a less intrusive government.

Sanford, was the poster child for the fight against the Federal Government that is out of check, ignores the Constitution at every turn and is on the verge of turning America into a Euro-Socialist State. He was supposed to be the limited government candidate, and by some reports a contender for a conservative run in 2012.

With this scandal, Sanford, not only did he disgrace himself, he also gave the Party of the ass a nuclear warhead and he plopped down the coordinates for the smaller government movements headquarters, more or less saying “shoot here”.

Make no doubt about it, the D’s will use this as a battering ram to demonize the smaller government movement in this country.

They will point out endlessly with an all to willing media to spotlight the hypocrisy, the lies, the fact that the Republicans, read conservatives,  just can’t be trusted.How could they, they engage in gay sex in men’s bathrooms, cheat on their wives, and hire call girls…

It matters not that they do the same thing, Eliot Spitzer anyone? It only matters that they can now use this issue to point out how little the GOP is to be trusted on any domestic issue ranging from Family, Abortion, Taxes, or Healthcare.After all, our so called champion can’t even keep his pants up long enough to honor his wedding vows, how can we trust any other limited government GOP member?

And of course I can’t even begin to defend it, I’ve said it before, the GOP is not my party. They never will be again if they continue on in this manner.

No I don’t want to hear about compassion, about the human condition, about the frailty of the human pysche, especially from the GOP. The only thing the GOP should do is toss this guy out on his ear, and start targeting the rest of the weak links in the  the party, until every last RINO, and “bi-partisan” hack in their ranks is gone.

Until they do so, the GOP is going to keep getting hammered on election day, they will loose more seats, more State Houses, and more local positions.

There are polls out there that indicate 28% of the voting population is now “independent” I’d wager a large chunk of those are disgruntled conservatives like me. And they aren’t ever going to change their minds when it comes to shenanigans like this. They and I will continue to vote against the GOP.

Thanks Sanford, I hope that it was worth it you turncoat. You’re a disgrace.

June 19th, 2009 by TNM

This has been making the rounds across the blog-o-sphere, I found it over at The Liberty Zone

The DC crowd should take heed, tea parties, 53 year old grandmothers, it matters not, the people own this country…not the half wits in DC and their flunkies in the Media…

Hello Mr. Obama? Congress? Are you listening ?!? I think you damn well  better…

I’m a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me.

Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you’re willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?

Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I’m not a racist. This isn’t to be confused with legal immigration.

Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don’t you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don’t you start there.

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don’t trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why ?? what do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we’ll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band?Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let’s have it. Let’s say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try ?? please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let’s just slow down and get some input from some non-politicians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law.

I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I’m busy. I’m busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course.

What happened?

You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance.

Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.

From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us.

We want our voice back.

You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington.

Our president often knows all the right buzzword[s and the latest] is ‘unsustainable’. Well, no kidding! How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don’t want your overpriced words.

Stop treating us like we’re morons.

We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you—not for long—because we are coming.

We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we’re so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work, pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you.

You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust.

We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish.

We didn’t ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when hewill rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don’t care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now.

We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back.

We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired.

Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you.

If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are.

If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one.

We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming.

We the people are coming.

Obama is a liar. But we know that don’t we?

But to add further proof,  he most certainly will be if he signs the Cap and Trade bill now making it’s way through the legislative branch.

Drafted by far left liberal H.Waxman (D) of where else, *sigh* California, and pushed by the radical environmentalist lobby the bill is one of Obama’s centerpiece campaign platforms, and is now being forced onto the American people by the liberals communists in the house and senate.

This bill is estimated by some to add up to a staggering 30% increase in over all energy bills for ALL Americans from every walk of life.

I would imagine the American Idol crowd will be quite upset when they see their electric bills go through the roof I’m sure, but typically, a dumbed down electorate, with the attention span of a retarded chipmunk will not blame Obama and his cronies. That wouldn’t be politically correct!

Instead they’ll scream about “greedy Utility companies”, and “greedy CEO’s” and how “UNNNNFAIR” it all is.

Screw em, I hope they  freeze.

“What did you just say?!?!?” you ask?

I hope they freeze. Screw ‘em, If Wanda Sykes can get up on national TV and say she hopes Rush has a kidney failure, then I can hope people like her freeze.

And I do, I hope her ass turns to a chocolate Popsicle. I’m done playing nice with idiotic Americans like her that can’t think for themselves but let retards like Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews tell them how to vote. Or worse yet vote the race card…Screw em’. You people that voted for this mouth breathing retard are every bit as stupid as he is, all of you.

I’m I being to0 harsh for you? Did I offend you, did I hurt your feelings? Outraged?  TOUGH!!

Here let me spell it out for you ….pay attention.

This isn’t a “tax on the rich”.

This isn’t a “tax on greedy capitalist corporate America”

This isn’t a “tax on Capital Gains on rich Wall Street tycoons”

This “Cap and Trade” is just a fancy way of saying T-A-X And that is what makes Barak Hussein Obama a bold face liar. He is on record loud and clear stating that there would be “tax cuts for 95% of America”.

“But-But he gave us rebates!!”…You sputter, Sure did, and This Cap and Trade bill  is nothing more than “Give a little with one hand and then take more with other”, meaning he’s nothing more than a typical greasy politician. A liar.

And you bought off on it, he gave you 13 measly dollars a week. Now he is going to slam you with an cost in energy increase, a  TAX,  that will stagger your budget, make paying your bills harder, make you work yet longer hours, and sacrifice more of your time that could have been spent with your family, just to keep up. Happy now?

I have to wonder about the one woman caught on camera gushing how she wouldn’t have to worry any more about things like filling her tank with Obama getting elected, How’s that working out for you? Still thinking “I’m not going to have to worry no more about how to put gas in my tank or pay my mortgage”?

If you are you’re dumber than a box of hammers.

Aren’t you proud of your vote?  Congratulations.

Newsflash: This is a tax on you Joe “It’s time for Change” America.

Congratulations, you voted this Communist empty suit into the White House, now you reap the rewards.

Too bad I have to suffer along with you. Thanks for that.

Enjoy those Tax “rebates” of 13 dollars a week (which BTW expire soon) and your electric bill is going to be 400.00 dollars a month.

Still can’t quite do all those big numbers and come up with the very clear conclusion that Obama just taxed you when he signs this bill into law? Here let me help you…

Lets say your electric bill is now 200.00 and it goes up 30% That is a 60.00 dollar increase in just your electric bill, those with Natural Gas or Heating Oil will get hit even harder. But for the sake of argument lets say you heat your home with electric.

Your rebate was 52 dollars a month. You just lost 8 dollars a month, soon to be the full 60 because those tax cuts are going to expire.

But Guess what? Cap and Trade doesn’t expire..Lets say you live in TN like I do, and TVA is now buying these Cap and Trade credits, they aren’t going to eat that cost Joe, they are going to pass that to Y-O-U and every other customer on their grid.That makes it a Tax. Call it whatever you want, you can’t polish a turd.

So now your electric bill is 260.00  a month. You’re not using any more electricity, in fact you might even use less to try to keep that bill under control. What did you get in return for that additional 60 dollars? Nothing that’s what.

If you can’t see this for what it is you are stupid. It is a massive  tax on EVERY AMERICAN, rich, poor and in between, and its not the utilities companies fault, it’s not some CEO of the local Power company making this call, It is Obama and his commie cronies in the house and Senate. And that makes it a tax. There’s no other way to say it.

Tell me Obamaphiles, How many middle class families in WI, MI, OH, and other Northern states are going to shiver through next winter because they cannot afford to heat their homes? If you voted for this ..I hope you feel good about it….and I hope you freeze.

Me, I have to go split some firewood, it promises to be a long cold winter again this year….

Although my posting has slowed considerably these days, it’s mostly because I’m ever more unable to write anything without flying into a profanity laced tirade directed at this collection of Marxist  morons called  Obama and his cabinet.

No I’m not joking, the revulsion and disgust I feel at those running this country to ruin, and the all too willing accomplices in the press is bordering on pure unadulterated hatred.

None the less I still lurk the web and maintain my daily visits to various blogs, And as always the author of “Taxes-Stupidity-And Death” has some great things to say.

I have to admit I draw a lot of inspiration from the “Imperial Consigliere” and this post is a home run.

It’s good to know one is not a lone voice in the wilderness some days. Now go read, shoo!

Hold Fast

Great Job BlackisWhite.

Been quiet around here at TNM I suppose, but Okay, devils advocate time here.

Like a lot of folks, I was pretty ticked off when I saw these headlines about the DHS and domestic terror reports. This coupled with Tax day and what looks to be a sneering reply from these horses ass so called political experts in regard to the Tea-Party rallies did not do anything to make me like Jugears or his democrats buddies one damn bit more, in fact, I grow more and more disgusted with him and his appointees day by day.

Of course now, Janet Napolitano is tripping over her heels (and rightly so) trying to pacify some seriously pissed off veterans groups, and it’s always a great time to watch dumb as a box of rocks people like her squirm, she, like a lot of this current crop of elites in D.C. are CLUE-LESS. Then, when the shi* hits the fan like this they make utter fools of themselves running around trying to do damage control.

Too late Janet, you own it …Good times!!

But I digress, setting my initial reaction aside, like most rational people do, I pinched my nose and read the thing in it’s entirety, and seriously, I’d have to say; Speaking from one with lots and lots, of years in some type of government service, Offensive on certain levels yes, but it is basically nothing more than boilerplate mish-mash government belly button gazing, more or less.

In fact I’ll say without reservation, it’s so overly broad and based on various far reaching assumptions, It’s even less worthy of serious consideration than the report that surfaced in MO. This is the work of some brain dead civil servant that must of spent a whole 20 minutes doing Google searches and spit out a paper on a Friday afternoon thinking about their weekend visit with the mother in law from hell.
Or, maybe that “servant” has the hots for Janet, that would explain it.

The DHS has been at this sort of thing for years since it’s inception, although one part is irritating to a US. Veteran like me:

DHS/I&A assesses that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and
radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of extremists—including lone wolves or small terrorist cells—to carry out violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today.

Now any rational person knows that if you look at the numbers of people in uniform the over all size of the military as a segment of our population is far less than 10% of the 300 Million estimated Americans. Add in a percentage of 40 plus million veterans and You MIGHT make that 10%, of the total population, maybe, but I doubt it. But’d you’d have to have an awful lot of folks running around getting ready to wage war on the US Government to even approach “a small percentage” of the entire military and veteran combined populations.

Where this report goes off the rails here is with that “small percentage” as most folks know “it’s only a small percentage of Muslims using terrorist attacks” Still equates to a pretty sizable faction of people…same principle here, only on a smaller scale, where this is wrong is that they threw out generalizations that could in fact be interpreted as numbers in the thousands, as there is well over a million people in uniform.

Sadly, It also has a central theme throughout the entire paper that keeps coming back to race, and that’s disturbing as well. To read this paper you’d think there are 10 million KKK Members getting ready to wage war on D.C. The government needs to get over this race baiting crap, again it paints this overly broad picture of people and you have to ask when the hell did you last see a KKK rally? Really? TNM LIVES in a stereotypical “racist” area, TN …and I’ve yet to see one single burning cross, no people in white customs running around…nothing. I see a lot of hard working frustrated people chaffing under the boot of a overreaching federal government, but there isn’t this bogeyman racist running around in fly over country. GIVE IT A REST already. Jesus!!

The DHS needs to take a hard look at this sort of language, it’s garbage and the person responsible for this report should be severely reprimanded. Maybe A fitting punishment ….ol Janet will show up in her rubber suit and stilettos …GAK!

The military is not some breeding ground for “right-wing” extremist thought, and it, on the contrary ,teaches more about tolerance, and equal opportunity then any sector private or government in the nation. 99.9999 % OF ALL PEOPLE IN THE MILITARY BELIEVE IN HONOR…that is something this current crop of morons in DC seem to have a hard time grasping with reports such as these. That is a FACT.

TNM doesn’t like the current crop of politicians, I think Obama and his cabal are a bunch of nincompoops. I own guns, and a fair amount of ammo, I also keep stores in my basement, for emergency use, furthermore TNM supports the military 100% and is a VET; so DHS am I at risk for becoming an extremist too? According to this I am…BOO!

Maybe I am, but maybe it has nothing to do with race, or the fact that I am a veteran, or that I am white, and live in “rural” areas, but everything to do with a Federal Government that has no moral compass, and bends over backwards to appease the true threats to this country, all the while painting the people that served her, bled for her, and died for her as a bunch of simple minded gullible fools, and as domestic terror threats that are running around the “rural areas” of America with Pipe Bombs.

Morons.
