Have you ever wondered if a group or groups of roman citizens were not to happy about Caesar becoming dictator for life. That maybe they send runners to the Senate asking them not to do this foolish thing not to lose the republic. Well we all know the history of what happened to Rome after the Senate did not heeds the words the republic failed as well as the empire.
I don’t know if this happened are not in my mind I think it may have, but to get to the point .I think we as a nation are headed that way! We as of right now have a Senate and a House that do not listen to the will of the people but think them selves smarted then the rest of us and “They “ know what is best for us . I am crying out to you folks black, white and brown do not let this happen to our republic lets not be another Rome. November is a long way off and a lot can happen what new laws they will push on to us no matter how much we yell. What I’m asking is a very simple thing keep the pressure up call, write and email tell the house and the Senate we want to keep “our” republic, No Demand That WE KEEP OUR GOD GIVEN FREEDOMS for if not come November if you don’t do this once more history may repeat its self lets hope and pray it dose not
Do you recall the school bully
Do you recall the school bully… You know the one who did what he /she wanted to do no matter what the rules said and them when someone or someones stood their ground how they would run home to mommy. Well the Dems in congress are a lot like that bully
They knew most of the people did not want this big bill they just pushed on to them every poll out there said as much but like the bully they did it any way. Then the people started pushing back in the form of the tea party and others they (the Dems)did what the school yard bullies do they started crying and moaning on how the other side was doing bad things to them like spitting on them and calling them names and other stuff.
Well Dems I will tell you what I have told bullies in the past and will say the same in the future “ GROW the “F” UP “ you and only you started this crap storm you are getting now knock your crap off and listen to the people do what they want and you might have a lot less name calling !!

The US should pull out of Washington
*/_Australian Shooter Magazine_/*
An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this
week, which I quote: "If you consider that there has been an
average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations
during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that
gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers
The firearm death rate in Washington , DC is 806 per 100,000 for the
same period. That means you are about 25 per cent more likely to be
shot and killed in the US capital,*_which has some of the strictest
gun control laws in the US_* , than you are in Iraq .
Conclusion: "The US should pull out of Washington ."

OF WATERMELON AND MEN
Of watermelons and men this last weekend Dan Rather made a poor choice of words when he refer to how the Republicans would try to portray Obama in 2012 as a person who couldn’t sell watermelons if you gave him(Obama)the state troopers to flag down the traffic. Mr. Rather has come out and apologize for his words, which was nice I must say but…………
I have two questions Mr. Rather was on the Chris (tingle up my leg for Obama) Matthews show why Matthews didn’t say Whoa! Dan stop man you just called my man Obama the “N” word or might as well have. but he didn’t he just let it roll but if this had happened on any other show he would have been tearing into them .
Question two Did Mr.Rather mean what he said? I am not sure but Mr,Rather was born in the south in the state of Texas as myself was and in the decades that we grew up in racism was very strong if you said watermelon and Black man in the same sentence I can tell you it was not something nice. So did Mr.Rather make a Freudian slip back to his boyhood I can’t tell for sure I will let you dear reader make that call.

A 5% pay cut for Congress
A 5% pay cut for Congress! Could it be? well if it is up to Rep.Ann Kirpatrick,D –Ariz .
I will give her this it’s a good start, Did you all know what a current member of Congress makes well its $174,000, Not bad considering that most of the rest of the U.S workforce makes less then $50,000 .
I think Ms. Kirpatrick is on the right trail but I’m thinking the pay cuts need to be more in the line of 50% which would bring their pay down to around $85,000 a year. Is this a fair pay I think so considering that most members of Congress are already part of the millionaire club or will be before they leave office
Ms. Kirpatrickis catching on both Democrats and Republican have signed on to this 21 so far .if this pay cut happens it will be the first in77 years do I think they are doing this out of the kindness of their heart ? No I don’t I think they (Congress) are trying to save their own skin with a overall approval rating of 20% Congress is grasping at straws for something to show us the votes that they are doing their part in hard times
It might be time to start worrying a little !
It might be time to start worrying a little ! When the second most left leanings news cable channel post this on their blog “Washington (CNN) – A majority of Americans think the federal government poses a threat to rights of Americans, according to a new national poll.
Fifty-six percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday say they think the federal government's become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens. Forty-four percent of those polled disagree.
The survey indicates a partisan divide on the question: only 37 percent of Democrats, 63 percent of Independents and nearly 7 in 10 Republicans say the federal government poses a threat to the rights of Americans.
According to CNN poll numbers released Sunday, Americans overwhelmingly think that the U.S. government is broken - though the public overwhelmingly holds out hope that what's broken can be fixed.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted February 12-15, with 1,023 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points for the overall survey.( From CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser)” I had to read x2 before I could believe what they had posted .are they starting to see what the rest of us have been saying for the past year are their eyes starting to open , we can only hope .
When the left starts putting stuff like this out will Obama listen will Nancy and Harry?
I bet not

Reconciliation has a nice sound to it
Reconciliation has a nice sound to it, just rolls off the tongue such a nice word.
Here is the problem do you know what it means “ Reconciliation is a procedural maneuver that allows the Senate to pass the health care bill with 51 votes rather than the 60 votes required to end a filibuster.” Well that will cover what I want to talk to you about here. The Demarcates will more then likely try this in the next coming weeks which will kill the career of a lot of them ,but Obama, Nancy and Harry don’t care they just want to get it done .
Now folks I am asking you to stop them and not for the reason you are thinking!
Yes its true I don’t support the heath bill as it is now but that not the reason. The reason is this if we the people let them use Reconciliation on this for if we do the next time ether party wants to do something and we the people say No they and I mean ether party may and will use this to force other thing s down our throats and we will yet again lose a freedom . So I'm asking you to contact your state senator and tell then that using Reconciliation is a very bad ideal
May God Bless You and yours
Word Crafting
No matter what side of the AISLE you're on, THIS is FUNNY and VERY telling!
Word Crafting, Truth telling, and other ways of expressing things..
It just all depends on how you look at some things...
Judy Wallman, a professional genealogy researcher in southern California , was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that Congressman Harry Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid share this common ancestor.
The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana territory:
On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: 'Remus Reid, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.'
So Judy recently e-mailed Congressman Harry Reid for information about their great-great uncle.
Believe it or not, Harry Reid's staff sent back the following biographical sketch for her genealogy research:
"Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory . His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."
NOW THAT's how it's done, Folks! That's real POLITICAL SPIN

I wish I had found this
Vat coming near you soon
Well folks next big thing is coming to you soon its called VAT or Value Added Tax yes yes its another tax but this one not only gets you and I but it start with the raw goods the manufacturer get and then it hits the retailer and then is pass to you and I .In other words it is a money machine for the government. If and I say if the government ran it right it could pull us out of the bad time we are in right now if not then as President Reagan said in 1985 “A value- added tax actually gives a government a chance to blindfold the people and grow in stature and size .” Now folks we have seen Obama already double the size of government in one year what do you think he will do with this? I’m not saying VAT is a bad ideal but not with this President or this congress, yes it may cost us to wait till we can vote this brunch out but over all it in my opinion will be well worth it . I’m not a fan of big government and I do think if we let Obama bring this in now we are surly going to lose more and more freedoms .
About time !!
Hello folks well here in California we just passed a law that giving parents some control over schools. The new law basely says if half the parents sign a petition a teacher, principal or for that matter the whole staff could be fired and the school closed or converted into a charter school . All I have to say so far is about time.
The main stream media is reporting this is making teachers very nervous, My question is why? If you are a good teacher and you are doing your job you have noting to worry about on the other hand if you are one of the teachers that are just setting on your hands drawing a paycheck well you might want to retire or get up and do your job .
The teachers union are blasting this saying it far too simple and shortsighted they ( the unions)are saying as well that parents an others think the unions are protecting bad teachers, Well as a former school board member I can tell you for a fact that’s exactly what they do. Here in California it takes up to three years and a minimum of $250,000
To fire a bad teacher thanks to the unions .Most school boards won’t spend that kind of money out of their already tight budgets soo the bad teacher stays.
More states are starting to look at this law all I can say lets hope this is one trend out of California makes it to the other 49

Hi there folks well today I want you all to meet Chuck DeVore , he’s running for a U.S Senator seat out here in California and I am going to support him in his race ! Why you might ask
He is not for Big Government, he thinks the Government is there to protect our right not baby sit us.
He believes Higher taxes and more regulations destroy jobs and reduce freedom.
He thinks Obamacre is the wrong thing and the so-called “public option” favored by President Barack Obama and Senator Barbara Boxer will make the problem worse.
He had my vote right there folks.
He has a solid record on sustaining traditional values when it comes to family.
Most importantly he consistent supporter of completing a border fence along our southern border. Every nation has a sovereign right to secure its borders against the threat of drug, weapon, and human smuggling.
SO folks lets kick Barbara Boxer nasty butt out and put a real person in her place.
A sneak attack is coming
A sneak attack is coming one you and I may not see coming but this is how I see it happening. On Feb 25 2010 president has invited congressional Republicans to sit down and talk through health care at a big "bipartisan summit" hopefully Republicans will show and be armed with some good ideals.
Now this dog and pony show will be televised so you and I can see it all .Obama will get up say a word or 3 and then open the floor for discussion, the Republicans will state their ideal the Democrats will nod their head in agreement and say yes but………and this will go for about hour for our entertainment then the show will close with a few more words out of Obama.
Now comes the sneak attack I was talking `about one maybe two days after this meeting Harry Reid and /or Nancy Pelosi will come out to the press with a statement something like this “We tried to have a bipartisan meeting and the Republicans would not corporate with us you saw it on tv so now we are going to have to use the 51 vote option to get heath care. “ You see folks the weeks leading up to Feb 25 Reid and Pelosi will be working hard to get the rest of the votes they need to get to 51 yes they will talk people into committing political suicide to make history and get some kind of medical bill. This folk is where you and I need to do to them what we did to Japan in WW2 , The sleeping giant needs to awake and crush Obama , Reid and Pelosi and their kind once and for all and for good and take back Our country God Bless the US of A.

5 little words
On Tuesday, a few days after Palin had mocked Obama for using a a teleprompter for all of his speeches presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs turned up at the White House briefing with a few talking points _ "hope" and "change" _ scrawled on his hand.
I have just one thing to say she (palin)only had 5 words wrote on her hand for a 45 min speech not bad i don't think many of us could pull that off .On the other hand Obama sets up a teleprompter to talk to a 6th grade class Soooooo! Tell me who do you think has more brains the one with just 5 words or the one who can't do a 10 min talk with out a teleprompter.
Robert Gibbs is the front runner for a$$ of the week.

A$$ of the week
This week a$$ is ……….. White House Chief of Staff Emanuel
For saying for liberal bloggers to attack centrist Democratic senators for being too moderate on health care would be “f - - - ing retarded” now this bothers me on two levels
First is the word f----ing when did this word be came socially accepted that we can just blare it out anytime we so feel like it.
The second the word retarded Mr. Emanuel tell me sir are you still in grade school sir?
Some on the left are saying it just a word its used all the time , it been around forever ! well so has been many word if Chief of Staff Emanuel had call then a brunch of worthless N------gers or a lot or sissy boys or worse yet a room full of F..gs he would not have a job today
All I’m trying to say here folks is people in public office need to watch their mouths we all have ears and I do expect better of them
. So Mr. Holder is sorted of
Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday he made the decision to charge the Christmas Day terror suspect in civilian court rather than the military system, with no objection from all the other relevant departments of the government HUH! Well the reason he had no objection from all the other relevant departments of the government
Is this National Intelligence Director Blair told the Senate committee that he was not consulted on whether Abdulmutallab should be questioned by the recently created High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group. Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano and the National Counterterrorism Center Director Leiter said they too were not consulted on the decision as to who should question Abdumutallab. So Mr. Holder is sorted of telling the truth just leaving out a few facts.
Now here a new one for you they are not blaming bush here but holding up some of the things he did as examples of why they charged him criminally (Abdulmutallab)here is one "The Bush administration used the criminal justice system to convict more than 300 individuals on terrorism-related charges," Holder wrote. The attorney general specifically mentioned the case of Richard Reid, who tried but failed to ignite a shoe bomb on a U.S.-bound trans-Atlantic jetliner.
"The practice of the U.S. government followed by prior and current administrations without a single exception has been to arrest and detain under federal criminal law all terrorist suspects who are apprehended inside the United States
So poor Brush is dammed if you do dammed if you don’t.
Abdumutallab has resume talking after the FBI brought members of his family to this country to help persuade him to cooperate again. But there are hints that some details have yet to be revealed that got him to talk .
Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee asked Wednesday for a hearing to question Holder about the case. The chairman, Sen. Pat Leahy, D-Vt., said he had been negotiating to bring Holder to testify since January and expected he would appear in March.
Hand in the cookie jar
Hand in the cookie jar seems that’s where Texas State Rep. Terri Hodge(D) been caught ‘
Hodge pleaded guilty to fraud and false statements on an income tax return, aces up to three years in prison, a $100,000 fine and restitution to the IRS. A sentencing date has not been set..
Hodge has agreed to never again to hold public office.. According to court documents, Hodge received more than $32,000 in rental subsidies, utilities and carpeting from an apartment developer who built complexes in her district. She never declared the funds as income on tax returns.
So crossing fingers here I’m hoping the people of her district we do the right thing and put a good strong Conservative in her place !

If you got the money honey
If you got the money I've got the time seems to be Nancy Pelosi’s theme song for you and I the taxpayer. last year along, she,her staff and family cost you and i a very scary sum in air travel alone, The Speaker’s military travel cost us the taxpayer $2,100,744.59 over a two-year period — $101,429.14 for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol. OK i want to stop here for a min or two I don't know about the rest of you but i don't have a income of $2,100,744.59 much less a food and alcohol budget of $101,429.14 .( that's a hella lot of booze.)
here are a few example of where Nancy spend the money.
Pelosi used Air Force aircraft to travel back to her district at an average cost of $28,210.51 per flight. The average cost of an international congressional delegation (CODEL) is $228,563.33. Of the 103 Pelosi-led CODELs, 31 trips included members of the House Speaker’s family. ( in other words she took them on vacation on our dine.) Tell me why Ms.Pelosi can't take her own private jet and pay for it herself.
One CODEL traveling from Washington, D.C. through Tel Aviv, Israel to Baghdad, Iraq from May 15-20, 2008, “to discuss matters of mutual concern with government leaders” included members of Congress and their spouses and cost $17,931 per hour in aircraft alone. Purchases for the CODEL included: Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey, Corona beer and several bottles of wine.( I'm thinking maybe just maybe Ms.Pelosi might have a drinking problem.)
According to a “Memo for Record” from a CODEL March 29 – April 7, 2007, that involved a stop in Israel, “CODEL could only bring Kosher items into the Hotel. Kosher alcohol for mixing beverages in the Delegation room was purchased on the local economy i.e. Bourbon, Whiskey, Scotch, Vodka, Gin, Triple Sec, Tequila, etc.”( once more anybody seeing a patten here.)
I'm thinking that Pelosi clearly believes she deserves special treatment at taxpayer expense. This message comes across loud and clear in the disrespect she has demonstrated towards the American taxpayer. But we can all hope and pray that very soon we can tell her good bye as well as a few others
Hunting season is upon us!
Hunting season is upon us! We need no gun or ammo but we do need pens and paper telephones and computers .What wild and scary beast are we hunting you may ask? It’s the wild and elusive Rino’s. The beast are rare and sometime hard to track but this midterm we are in luck there is a large group of them and with your help we might be able to thin the herd I will give a run down of the ones that we need to take down

We desperately need to have a fundamental restoration
We desperately need to have a fundamental restoration of our country before those who seek to fundamentally transform this nation have lasting success. In order to return to some of the founding principals that made this nation great, I believe we must understand what those foundational ideals are. Here are 11 principals that I believe sum up
what a true conservative is a about:
1. 'Government money' does not belong to government. It belongs to the taxpayers who worked hard for it, and who had funds deleted from their paychecks even before they got to see them.
2. The government that governs best governs LEAST.
3. Government normally does not solve problems. People do. Big government usually IS the problem.
4. Oppressive large governments are responsible for more murders of citizens than all of the wars in history.
5. The private sector is where the juice of society lies. There you will find ingenuity, creativity, and the creation of wealth--provided government gets out of the way.
6. Government social programs reward pathological dependency. True adults, unless hindered by debilitating physical impairment, seek independent living as free persons who are not stuck in an infantile dependency on the government nanny.
7. The one role of government mandated by the U.S. Constitution is to provide for the national defense.
8. Human rights are not granted by government. They are inherent and automatic. We are 'endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights.' Government can only choose to recognize and protect those inherent rights.
9. The right to self-defense, as encapsulated in the 2nd Amendment, is the key to all of the other rights described in the Bill of Rights. Free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and a free press are secured and kept secure by an armed citizenry.
10. Our form of government is NOT a 'pure democracy' or 'majority rule.' In a Constitutional Republic such as ours, the will of the majority is tempered and limited by the rights of the minority, which are always intact and unalienable regardless of the 'will of the majority.'
11. While we cannot legislate morality, we likewise CANNOT legislate or fund immorality.

9. The right to self-defense, as encapsulated in the 2nd Amendment, is the key to all of the other rights described in the Bill of Rights. Free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and a free press are secured and kept secure by an armed citizenry.
10. Our form of government is NOT a 'pure democracy' or 'majority rule.' In a Constitutional Republic such as ours, the will of the majority is tempered and limited by the rights of the minority, which are always intact and unalienable regardless of the 'will of the majority.'
11. While we cannot legislate morality, we likewise CANNOT legislate or fund immorality.
