A Fellow Blogger at independenceinexile.blogspot.com has been really staying on top of the Iran situation. All of the discussions about the situation are important to those here in the U.S. that feel our government is ignoring us. (more…)

What’s going on in Iran?
Posted by Richard on June 23rd, 2009
Fired…. for no good reason!
Posted by Richard on June 19th, 2009Imagine you come to work one day, let’s say a Wednesday, and all seems well. It is the middle of the week and you are going about your normal business when you get a phone call. You are surprised to hear a member of the President’s staff on the other end. They are demanding your resignation from your job! What would you do? Would you say OK and get to typing, or would you stand on principle and demand to find out what is going on?
Letter From True American!!!
Posted by Richard on June 18th, 2009This was a letter sent to Glenn Beck from a listener that he had on the radio program yesterday. Can you identify with this letter.
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- Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it.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 I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed.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 nonpoliticians 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 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.
Acorn Fraud Map
Posted by Nicholas on May 6th, 2009ElectionJournal.org has taken the time to put all of the places ACORN has been accused or convicted of voter fraud onto a Google Map. In case ACORN doesn’t sound familiar, ACORN recieved federal tax money to help poor people (ie, those who couldn’t afford them) get mortgages (sound like a problem that’s biting us now?), and is now being chosen by the President to help with the US census. What can possibly go wrong?
It takes a cheat……to catch one I guess!
Posted by Richard on May 4th, 2009Tim Geithner is going to catch the “tax cheats”. Isn’t that kind of like putting the fox in charge of protecting the hen house? Tim Geithner is one of the ones that was using the “loopholes” to keep more of his “hard earned” money. (more…)
Conservatives could be a homeland security threat!!!!
Posted by Richard on April 14th, 2009Do any of these criteria match you? : War veteran, gun owner, conservative, upset at our government, upset at politicians, Christian believer in the bible and Revelations; Then you might be a threat to the safety of our country. You might be “recruited” into an extremeist group!!
Tired of Welfare!
Posted by Richard on April 13th, 2009Personal story of my trip to Wal-Mart the other day. I stood in line and watched people on welfare purchase their groceries and was amazed to see the actual numbers. While in line I saw 3 people use the little American Flag “Credit card” that is the new welfare card. I only got to see one of the ladies total and what she had to pay, but it was amazing. Here are the stats;
Total Buggies of Goods: 3
Goods in buggy: Steaks, all name brand goods, Tide, Barrons Pizza, etc.
Total $ amount of goods: $494
Total lady had to pay out of her pocket: $131
She paid 26% of the total amount of her goods in her buggy and is eating better than I do. I buy almost all non-name brand goods and spend roughly $400.00 per month on food and other groceries. This is not right. We work hard and have to scrape to get by and these people get ridiculous help. This is another thing wrong with this country. Now they want to take more of the money from hard working people and give it to these types of people. BS, is all I have to say.
Did I mention she also bought clothes, purses, etc!
Thank you uncle SAM!
Taxes Voluntary???
Posted by Richard on April 10th, 2009Video Courtesy of: Clare St. Gabriel
What is your definition of voluntary? Are your taxes voluntary? This is why we have the problems we have in our economy. People like this and their “interpretations”. Watch this video and then ask yourself is our tax system voluntary?
Here is the Video
That’s not all that’s in the “Stimulus”
Posted by Richard on February 4th, 2009Just when you thought you got all of the items in the stimulus that should not be there, you find some more. (more…)
