The TEA Party Spring

I have been watching my nation go all-in on the economic destruction of our society by our government.  Yeah, yeah, conspiracy theory bullshit and all that ... whatever ...

Any thinking American sees the truth, but cannot believe what is right in front them.  Our president has broken nearly every law he has bumped into.  He has disrespected the men and women that served their country with honor and sacrifice.  He has disrespected the working stiffs that bring energy to every part of this land.  He has disrespected minorities of all walks, sowing discord and animosity between Americans.  He has apologized to foreign kings and bowed before them, as if in supplication.  He has declared himself a Christian, while hailing the Islamic morning call to prayer as the most beautiful in the world.  He has violated the Constitution, its amendments and the Bill of Rights at will through the use of appointed-not-elected, unvetted, not congressionally approved czars and commissions; and the use of  "Executive Orders."

I can go on and on, but that's enough to suit my purpose.  The purpose itself ... to show that even the most uninformed voter can see, quite easily, if they take the time to look, that the country is being changed before them, and not for the better.

Will the People be able to stop this decline?  Are there enough informed Americans, ones that don't suckle on the pap of Wholly Leftist Owned network news and Hollywood entertainment.  Are there enough patriotic citizens to bring the slide of this Republic from Liberty into virtual slavery to the state, to a halt.

Is America ready for a TEA Party Spring?

The small-government, low-tax majority in this fight have been busy trying to save their homes and businesses,keeping the country going and paying higher and higher taxes to subsidize people that can, but don't work.  They have been hoping their elected officials would do the job they were paid to do ... preserve the founding documents, keep government in check, prevent disastrous legislation from becoming law, and protecting the American People from enemies, foreign and domestic.  Their chosen representatives, including the highest offices and lowest courts, have been bought and paid for, selling their souls for security and fortunes in land and treasure.  Treasure paid for by those same hard-working, blood, sweat and tears shedding law abiding citizens.

They can no longer put off action.  They can't put business first and they can't just hope for a George Washington or Thomas Jefferson.  Someone will have to step up.  Many, many someones.  We, the franchise owners, the mom-and-pop stores and shops, and especially the everyday worker with or without a job, does their best to provide for their family and friends.  The ones on food-stamps and medicare and WIC that don't want to live on the dole for all of their lives, and their children's lives.

The time has come for the TEA Party Spring, and I, for one, love the Springtime ...

Silent Long Enough ...

I have been silent long enough.

Out of respect, I have avoided writing this blog for more than a year.

One of my sons expressed deep concern over my attitude toward the government in general, and the Occupational Government of Barack Obama and his secular-progressive neo-communist Marxists in specific.

I am no longer bound by that respect.

Over a year ago, I received a letter from him.  In that letter:

     He denigrated my wife and hurt her feelings deeply when he had no idea what he was talking about.  This is the woman that saved me from insanity ... the woman that helped me overcome the prejudices of a lifetime of learning.  The woman that has never, even once, tried to make me forget my first wife, who was taken from our family too soon.  The woman that has shown nothing but respect and gratitude toward his late mother that MOST women would have tried to purge from existence.  The woman that has never asked me to take down or dispose of anything from my first life.  The woman that loves Debbie deeply, and respects her even more.

     He blamed all of his problems with his life on me, and took no responsibility for his own actions.

He, like a coward, sent a letter of accusation and blame  A letter that left no recourse for response.  A calculating and carefully written conviction without trial or court.

I have waited, patiently, for him to man-up and face his problems, and face me.

I am not waiting anymore.

I love you, son, but it is not my fault that you are the way you are.  I missed the formative years of your young life (the years that your blood-father abandoned you in, while he traipsed about the globe, knocking up women and cheating on his wife).  

For my part, I am at peace with his delusion.

I have a single demand for my son.  He must apologize to my wife, to her face and with sincerity.  There is no compromise.  Even if he decides he wants nothing to do with me until the day he dies and poisons my grandchild against me forever, he MUST apologize to her.

She had nothing to do with you or whatever imagined abuses he suffered, and deserves much better than what you have given her.

If he does not apologize to her, there will be consequences.

Son, if you want to abdicate your own responsibility and transfer it to someone else, look to the man that abandoned you, not to the man that took you into his life and tried to raise you as best he could.

I gave you everything I had ... blood, sweat, tears and pain ... and you have the gall to accuse me.

The matter is in his hands now.  My hope is that he accepts that he is a grown man and owns his actions, rather than trying to pin them on the one man that NEVER abandoned him.

I will no longer accept the blame.  He's a grown-up, and needs to act like it.

I will no longer refrain from calling out the government on its abuses and constitution-shredding policies just because he has the "I'm a perpetual victim, it isn't MY fault" mentality.

Hopefully he will learn that he is an adult and seriously needs to take responsibility for his actions, rather than laying blame on everyone BUT himself.

I am not responsible for his actions.  He is.

The ball is in your court, son.

Mr President, YOU Didn't Build That ...


My brain has been digesting the “You didn’t build that” comment made by our president.  The thought has been percolating for a little while, so I have refrained from commenting.  
You see, some of  my business was built using SBA dollars.  I am a retired enlisted military service member, and the “Patriot Express” program was made with people like me in mind.  I am not proud of using the program, as I don’t even feel right receiving ‘government’ money in my earned retirement check.  Someday, if my business is a success, I plan on donating all of my retirement to several charities.  So, the government did help me with money.  
Disclaimer complete.
The thing that Mr Obama seems to forget is, he didn’t build the government, We did.  All of his success is built on our backs.  The accomplishments he has enjoyed would never be possible without the government We, the People, built for him.
He forgets that, without our toil, our sweat, and our blood,  he would be nothing.  Without citizen votes he would not be in the position he now holds.
He speaks of roads and bridges and infrastructure and “somebody else made that happen.”
He is wrong.
We built those things.  I have built them, since the day I paid my first federal income tax.  Were my hands on the shovel?  Did I drive the forklifts and mine the gravel, and did I produce the asphalt?
No.
I provided the money, I served to protect the nation and the people that did.  I sacrificed, just like every American that pays taxes, for those things to happen.
Our government did not build this country.  It did not build the roads, it didn’t build the bridges, or the factories or the Wal-Mart or the locally-owned video game store.
We built those things, just as We built and maintained this nation through wars and depressions, recessions and turmoil, and We will continue to do those things.
You didn’t build those things, Mr President, We the People made that happen.

America-that-was ...

I am not sure, at this moment, what to think.  I know that the SCOTUS rules on constitutional matters.  What I do not know is how the justices can possibly rule that Obamacare is constitutional?  Taken from the Greek "Everyman" concept, a law can easily be seen as valid or invalid by just about anyone.  Based on our Founder's principles alone it is obvious (to all but the Lawyers) that the Federal Government cannot force you to buy a product.  The design of our system is supposed to prevent the Fed from interfering in our private lives.  This law stomps on that very fundamental principle.  As long as they call it a 'tax,' the Federal government can now force you, the individual American, to buy any product or service that 'they' feel you need - regardless of whether you actually need it, or not.  If you are deemed to fit into whatever category they feel applies, you have to buy the product or service, or face punitive fines, taxes and incarceration.

Even in the (now) extremely unlikely event that Obamacare is repealed by congress or even nullified by the state(s) through the Tenth Amendment to the Bill of Rights, it does nothing to prevent similar laws from being enacted now or in the future.

All they have to do is say "it is a tax."

Whether you can feel it yet, or not, the days in which America stood as a bastion of Freedom and Liberty in a world of dictators, despots and socialism, ended on Thursday, June 28th, 2012.

The Great Experiment has failed - welcome to the New World Order .

Lost time ...

I admit it ... I have been spending all of my time working instead of following politics and worrying about the state of disarray our united States is in.  While struggling to build a solid, stable business here in Texas (the only state I'd even try it in) and attempting to keep a roof over our heads and food in our bellies, I have only been giving cursory attention to all the other happenings in this great land.

Looking back, I see that much has happened while I have been wasting my time trying to do my part to use the opportunity provided by our Constitution to create a better world for my children.

Our president routinely bypasses: the congress of representatives elected by the People, the Laws of the Land, and the will of the Free American, by creating Laws via Executive Order and through powerful 'czars' that answer only to him.

Our congress has abdicated their duties by allowing the current administration to perform these unlawful acts.

Our system of Equal Justice Under the Law has been undermined and marginalized by the "Justice" Department, whose actions (and inaction) has directly resulted in the death of Americans in the US and Mexico, not to mention the thousands of murders of poor Mexican people.  The same Justice Department that literally exported weapons to insurgent forces in a friendly countryThe same Justice Department that dropped all charges (in an open-and-shut case, mind you) against racialist members of the Black Panthers that used threat of violence and intimidation to disenfranchise voters and negate the one thing all adult Americans have the implicit and explicit right to do ... choose their own leadership.

Our methods of redress and our right to petition our own government for its actions has been corrupted to the point that our entire election system may very well be compromised, and our system of laws, designed to create equal justice for everyone has been usurped by the radical ideas of "Social Justice," Economic Justice," and yes, even "Environmental Justice," where, again, literally one half of the population of the united States of America is completely supported by the other half.  That's what it means when only half of the country actually pays the taxes, and the other half collects them through redistributionist entitlement programs like Social Security, welfare and unemployment 'insurance.'

Many people forget that, when you get all of your money back on your tax-return, you did not pay taxes.


I paid taxes.  I will pay taxes this year, and I paid taxes last year.  In fact, it is hard for me to remember the last time I didn't pay taxes.

The plight of the underpaid and overworked employee has been co-opted by "Occupy" movements that punish the American employee and disrupt the course of business that keeps them out of the unemployment line.  I thought the idea was to help those people, but it isn't.

The idea is to force working stiffs to pay Union Bosses and political campaigns so that both can remain in power, and ensure the subjugation of the People.

Of late, I have actually been compared, not just by the media and the official administration spokespersons, but by family, to domestic terrorists!  The worst part, the one that hurts most and cuts deepest, is that the comparison was made by a member of our military forces, sworn to uphold the Constitution and protect its ideas.  I have been told that, by exercising my rights as an American Citizen, and by believing in those same rights, I am the same as a terrorist.

I have been asleep at the wheel ... time to exercise my Franchise.

Regardless of what that person said, I am not a believer in using violence to achieve my political goals.  I own a beer (it is in my refrigerator) and a car (in the driveway) but that does not mean I believe in driving drunk.  Just because I own a gun and a bullet, does not mean I want to shoot people.  I do not, and I hope I never, ever have to.  I own it for the protection of my family, my business, and my rights as an American.

I am a believer in the American Way.  I believe in all of the rights outlined in the Bill of Rights, and all of the restrictions placed on the power of the Federal Government by the Constitution of the united States of America.

Our politicians, from all parties, place their own wealth above the welfare of the people that elected them.  They line their pockets with union blood-money, line their coats with class-warfare communist ideals and hobble the American Dream by forcing socialist welfare on half of the population and making the other half pay for it; killing their ambition and enslaving more than 160 million people to the yoke of welfare and redistributing the wealth and hard work of the other 160 million people.

All for political power and monetary reward.

You can bet that when nearly all Americans (yes, The 99%) are forced onto the Dole, relying on government largess for their daily bread, the politicians will still be rich and powerful because the bulk of American laws no longer apply to them.

I will do everything necessary, within my rights, to change the political landscape and leadership from the current corrupt money-mad charlatans, to Constitutionalist American Patriots.

Obama is NOT Stupid ...

Many times I have heard the media, editorial commentators, web journalists, friends and family say things like "Obama is an idiot," and "How can he think that his actions will help the economy or unemployment (or any other platitude he expresses)?

You must know, by now, that none of this is true.

Mr Obama's intent has been clear from the beginning. He has stated his purposes on many occasions. He has declared his goals " ... energy prices would necessarily skyrocket," and his means (just check out any early radio appearance, interview or union speech he has given).

He made his ideals known long before he ran for the highest office.

If everyone would please quit acting like our president is even trying to stabilize our economy and lead our nation to prosperity, it would go a long way towards ensuring he held office for only a single term.

Stop saying his intentions are good. Stop saying that he has the best interests of the American People in mind. Stop believing the tripe that his "news media" puts out.

Why can't someone just tell the truth:

Obama is a Jihad sympathizer.

Obama is a Communo-Socialist Progressive with delusions of grandeur.

Obama does not like America or Americans.

Obama does not like Christians (real Christians, not Black Liberation Theology Christians).

Obama likes Sharia Law.

Obama loves Socialist Dictators like Hugo Chaves.

Obama believes that the world's troubles start and end with America.

Obama believes that America owes the world all of our riches because, by having them, we must have cheated someone else to get them. He believes we do not deserve them.

Obama believes that "rich" people do not deserve to keep that which they have worked hard for. There is one exception - the rich "elite" like him (Soros, Gore, etc). They get to keep their money because the government gave it to them, so it is 'redistributed' wealth.

Obama does not believe that America, or Americans, are exceptional.

Obama does not believe in the Constitution, but cites it for his purposes when necessary, like his recent "signing statement" that essentially ignored the budget deal that was created between the Senate, the House and the Administration. He was asked to eliminate four of his "Czar" positions as a critical element to the budget deal, and he agreed. Upon signing the bill, he issued a signing statement revealing that he would ignore the part about czars because it infringed upon his "Constitutional Authority."

He does not believe in, nor follow, the Constitution of the united States of America excepting as it serves his purposes.

Obama believes in dismantling the united States through economic destruction and social upheaval. He will destroy the economy, put millions more out of work, starve children and freeze energy production. He will manipulate the dollar through the Federal Reserve and the International Monetary Fund. He will print trillions of worthless dollars to create hyper inflation, and bankrupt the country by giving our wealth to third-world dictators and thugs. He will control employment through the thug-ocracy of government unions.

Obama will take your ability to defend yourselves by making it impossible to own a firearm or ammunition.

Obama will rule through "Executive Orders" and Presidential Fiat, smashing privacy and stealing your constitutional rights out from under you via regulation and penalties.

He will even control your life and your death through his "Healthcare" laws.

Obama does not believe that America should lead the world out of poverty through great works, study, or invention. He understands, but does not believe, that America is unique in the entire history of human civilization. That we are the first truly free people to have ever lived. That we are different than Europe, Asia, South America, Africa or the Middle East.

We are the first government "By the People and For the People." Such a thing did not exist before the united States of America.

Not even the Greeks had such liberty, regardless of their 'creation' of Democracy. They were still slave-owners and tyrants and overlords, crushing their people with taxes and conscripting them into wars of territory and plunder.

Britain, for all of its 'parliament' and electoral processes is still run by nobles in the House of Lords.

Obama does not believe in anything that I believe in.

In order to save our country and procure a future for our children, Obama must be exposed to the American People for who, and what, he truly is.

I believe that most Americans know who and what he is, but sit back and say "That can't happen in America, so why worry?"

I believe in the Constitution as written.

I believe in Amendments to the Constitution, not judicial legislation, as a way of updating our laws.

I believe in calling out the liars and the manipulators for what they are.

I believe in being honest with the American People about who and what we are. If you are a communist, tell us you are a communist and tell us what to expect from you. Tell us you are a socialist or progressive or libertarian or liberal or conservative or republican, and what your intentions are. Don't lie. Don't work in the shadows and the margins, using deception to implement your plans.

If your plans are workable, We, the People, will ensure they are implemented. If not, they will be abandoned.

I believe that you must do your work in the light, not the dark.

I believe that if your work must be done in the shadows because the American people would otherwise reject it, then your work cannot be good and must not be accomplished.

Heed this, Mr Obama. Heed this, progressives, liberals, populists, democrats, social conservatives, republicans, libertarians, isolationists and all other political factions and parties. Heed this, all who would subjugate us, the American People:

It does not matter how much of your agenda has been instituted, no matter what programs have been adopted or funded and no matter whom you have paid off, bribed or extorted - Your jobs are constitutional, our rights are divine.

The Americans you hope to control will not be controlled.

Our people are the only people in the world that know what self-determination and Freedom actually taste like.

Only Americans have ever been truly free.

I believe that, once real Freedom and Liberty have been tasted, there is no going back. Free people will fight until their last breath leaves their body, their blood no long courses through their veins and their guns fall from their cold, dead fingers.

America will be free, or it will be dead. There is no other possible outcome.

The Fire

I feel as if the world is covered in gunpowder and the sparks are flying.

The Middle-East, like a dropped cigarette in an old cotton-stuffed couch, has been smoldering for many years.  Like that couch, it will eventually flare up and burn the whole house down.  India and Pakistan are in constant conflict, trading bullets and bombs, while Pakistan is quickly being overtaken by Taliban influence and Radical Islamist terror.

Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Yemen ... all of them and more ... face a bloody and uncertain future.  The Middle-East is a monstrous powder-keg of conflict.  Nobody knows what future they have, only that the "Arab Spring," created by Radical Islamists (Al Queda, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc.), is designed to turn the entirety of the region into the next Caliphate and destroy Israel and the Jewish people altogether.

In Europe, from Britain to the Czech Republic, and Norway to Greece, the same Islamist terrorists threaten to overtake the population.  Paris is entirely ringed by vast Muslim communities whose populations grow at an alarming rate while non-Muslim birthrates have declined to the point of negative growth.

Socio-communist public sector Unions have bankrupted nearly every European nation with entitlement demands.

Europe stands on the brink of collapse, propping each other up with money they borrowed from their own banks (and ours, too, since B. Bernanke's Fed has been secretly dumping fake American money into that same pit).  Most places, if you borrow money from yourself, you end up paying all of the NSF fees to the bank AND the people you wrote the bad check to.

Not in our 'global' economy.

Here, you simply print more, or have the money electronically created so you just send some electrons from one bank to another across a network.

Valueless money from an empty bank to empty banks across the planet.  Nothing backs the money except hot air and rhetoric.  We all know that the rhetoric is useless hot air, as well.

Russia and its ally 'states' are governed by old-school communist leaders and their mafia.  Her people suffered under the USSR and continue to suffer under the current government.  There is very little hope for their near-future.

China continues it inexorable march toward subjugation of the planet with its "Thousand-year Plan" while nearly all of her people survive on a subsistence-level economy.  Taiwan's future is precarious at best, with China's army looming in the near distance.  India and Pakistan are in constant religious war with one-another.  Taiwan's future is precarious at best, with China's army looming in the near distance.

The Korean Peninsula faces one of two futures. Either many more years of conflict with their brethren, while the North and her people make bread from grass and weeds and the South prospers with Western influence; or they'll be faced with war and death until one or the other succeeds in unifying the peninsula.  The USA will be in the middle of that one until the end of time.

The Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and almost every other Pacific and Oceanic nation face the same fate as Asia and Africa - Communist takeover, Islamist takeover and economic destruction from within and without.

the African continent, birthplace of the human race, is in constant civil war.   Her shores are patrolled by pirates and her lands controlled by evil men.  Here, too, are the Muslim terrorists sowing the seeds of destruction.  No one seems to care about Africa.

South America, Central America and Mexico are endangered by socialist dictators, drug cartels, rebel insurgents, government imposed poverty, and class warfare on a massive scale.  Look anywhere in Brazil and  you will find islands of prosperity nestled behind high walls, surrounded by gigantic slums known as "Favelas."  Seldom are the differences so distinct and obvious as they are in Brazil.

Iceland crumbles under debt and volcanic ash, suffering the same future as Europe, crushed by the demands of socialist policies and public-sector union entitlements.

Who remains?

The States of America, once united in purpose, are now stumbling blindly along, leaving behind the blessings of Liberty, and absorbing the worst parts of the world's ills.  Among them: Europe's money problems, American Socialist and Communist politicians praise Mao, who once starved seventy million people (food farmers, no less) to death in order to feed his communist armies.  Public sector unions drain the coffers of their state tax accounts, garnering no-cost and low-cost health care plans provided by taxpayers that often have no insurance at all , lavish retirement packages that last well into the lives of their grandchildren, all the while the real producers and earners in America literally pay all of the taxes of the rest of the population.  In addition, it has come to light that we, the American Taxpayers, not only cover all of the taxes for 50% of America (those that, every year, pay no taxes at all), but we are also propping up friendly and unfriendly nations, without our knowledge or approval, with those same tax dollars.

Yes, the planet is covered in gunpowder, and sparks are everywhere.  If you have a God, now would be the time to pray to him or her or them or whoever.

My greatest hope for the future is that whatever follows our current situation will be a world of Liberty and Personal Freedom.

My greatest fear for the future is that it is the same as this present.
