The Lords vs The People

Jeff Pope does not mince words. And I think we'd better pay attention to them. He's got it exactly right. Something that We ThePeople, are starting to figure out.

His question, "Who Will Win?" is the most important one of our long and glorious history. Which way will we go...into the perdition our "leaders" are rushing to...or will we take back our country in spite of them?

If you don't read anything else this week, read this:

Representatives Must Pledge to Represent the People:
Here's how we can hold our leaders accountable to the freedom-loving voters who elect them.

"...The political class, however, regards this as naive and unsophisticated, the blathering of those who “don’t know how things really work.” To them it is the power game, both at the office-holding level and in the competition for position among themselves, which is the reality. Lying, strong-armed tactics, pork barrel bribery, midnight spending, personal privileges, and backroom corruption are all part of the game, and they admire those who do these things well. Within their ranks, it is most acceptable to act in a manner befitting a political aristocracy and to convey upon oneself the merit to belong in it. The rare politician who is driven by principle, and the one who really means the ethical statements he or she makes, is considered “a problem” to the leaders of their own party and a sop to the members of the other. So too the politician endeavoring to represent the wishes of his or her district against the directives of the party leadership."

"...The people have never been more angry and afraid; nor has the federal government been more intent on doing whatever it takes to force their power over us at every level. Therein lies the question that will determine the direction America will take in the next ten years: who will win?"

Pope presents a strategy for taking our country back. And it might even work. It's right out of the Glenn Beck playbook. It's time to stop doing the same old thing expecting different results.

Founding Fathers vs Clueless Tools

It's hard to imagine that the ghoul Waxman is of the same species as Thomas Jefferson.

Hmmm...maybe there's a clue there...

Who Thinks Government is the Answer??

From the mailbag:

To all 535 voting members of the Legislator.

It is now official: You are morons.

The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775 - you have had 234 years to get it right; it is broke.

Social Security was established in 1935 - you have had 74 years to get it right; it is broke.

Fannie Mae was established in 1938 - you have had 71 years to get it right; it is broke..

War on Poverty started in 1964 - you have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor"; it hasn't worked.

Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 - you've had 44 years to get it right; they're broke

Freddie Mac was established in 1970 - you have had 39 years to get it right; it is broke

Trillions of dollars in the massive political payoff called the TARP bill of 2009 shows NO sign of working.

And finally to set a new record:

"Cash for Clunkers" was established in 2009 and went broke in 2009!

So with a perfect 100% failure rate and a record that proves that "services" you shove down our throats are failing faster and faster, you want Americans to believe you can be trusted with a government-run health care system? 15% of our economy? Are you crazy?

Truly, the inmates are running the asylum! (And what does this say about voters who put such pond scum in office...hmmm? Maybe we need to let others in on this brilliant record before 2010 and just vote against incumbents.)

So once again... it's official, you are ALL morons.

Any questions?

How to Fix the Mess We're In

From a friend who's clear on the concept:

Limit all U.S. politicians to two terms: 

One in office and one in prison!

We already do this in Illinois.

Boxer...Book Signing Protest

OH. MY. GOD.

San Jose in August.

I just got back from the oven that is San Jose in August, overheated to within an inch of my life. This guarantees that it's NORTH for me when I get outta here. I just can't take the heat. At my age, I can't prance around in next to nothing, and next to nothing is what you'd have to wear to even come within lobbing distance of remotely comfortable.

That being said, it was great fun. Even with a couple Liberals who would insist on engaging me. Let's see. I was called a liar, and a Rush robot. One women with a baby told me that Rush Limbaugh trades on fear and hate. I suggested that if she actually listened to him she'd know that wasn't true. Naturally, she claimed she does.

Why do they do that when it's so clearly a lie?

Her man announced that the Constitution was written over 200 year ago, for agrarian times and didn't apply to our current modern culture. Seriously. HE. SAID. THAT.

I should have countered with, "Do you mean that individual liberty is an obsolete idea?", but he was beyond talking to at that point, and did I mention I was over-heated...?

Another sited Alexander Hamilton as proof that the "Founding Fathers" didn't consider government as the necessary-evil-enemy-of-the-people that they themselves made clear.

Sigh.

When I told him I'd rather have freedom than even "good" health care if it was run by the State....he just looked at me.

It's like "freedom" is a word in a foreign language that they don't understand.

Same guy insisted that Europe has great health care and that everybody there loves it. Faced with three different groups of people who said they had friends, especially in Britain, that hated it, he wasn't fazed at all. He's got the talking points down, and he's sticking to them. Facts be damned.

Here's more or less how his argument ran:

1) Liberal: "The health care system is horribly broken. We need to reform it."

2) Me:" I agreed that health care needs to be reformed, but not by turning it over to the State."

4) Liberal: "The STATE already runs over half of our health care, so what's the problem?"

5) Me: "I thought you said the system was horribly broken? If the STATE is running over half of it and it's horribly broken, why do you want to let them run MORE of it?"

6) Liberal: "Well, they probably run less than half, actually."

I don't think they think their arguments through very well.

But we far outnumbered them in any case, one estimate was that a thousand people showed up! So while we didn't invade Barnes & Noble, nor cause any problem, it's not possible that Babs didn't know we were there, and that's all that matters.

We did stick around until she left...there was a town crier going up and down the sidewalk giving us updates. And a big crowd gathered at the driveway when she was driven out...

All was peaceful and friendly and fun. Lot's of horn honking and waves and thumbs-up of approval from cars passing on the big street we lined.

Another day, another protest.

God, I rather be home playing with my cats, blogging and staying cool under the lovely overcast skies of my coastal town...

But, hey, the Republic is at stake, and considering that...and what the Founders risked to create this amazing, God-blessed, divinely inspired miracle called "America", and what so many more have fought and died to preserve and protect, it's the least we can do, right?

Get out there. Give them hell! And let's THROW THE BUMS OUT!

545 vs 300,000,000

I don't know if Charley Reese even exists. It doesn't matter. This is true no matter WHO wrote it.

545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-pickingthing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red ..

If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

Did He Just Say That?

Video of Conyers saying he can't understand Congressmen who think they should Read The Bill before voting YES on it. (It's so long, y'all—and complicated!)

I wonder if he knows he said this out loud...

Is this taxation without representation?

Well, at least by people born on this planet?

Are The Stars Aligning?

I don't know what to make of something so positive as this. My nerve-endings are not used to optimistic news.

Next year's elections are going to produce a political earthquake. That is because we currently suffer the most left-wing government in our nation's history.

These Blue Dog Democrats posing as conservatives provide the margin for the Democrat majority in the House. They are the most vulnerable to defeat in 2010. But it is not just them. A lot of liberal warhorses seemingly invincible today will go down in next year's elections. Challengers should especially check out the opportunities in wealthy limousine liberal districts that have been sending left-wing extremists to Washington for far too long. Some shocking surprises will quite likely come from those districts next year, given how they have been targeted for punitive tax increases and suffer greatly from the failing Obama/Democrat economic policies.

I'm not sure I believe. But it's nice to read something that isn't dripping with doom for a change.
