Two Can Play At That Game

There is a video of Jason Mattera going undercover at Rep. Jim Moran's town hall meeting in Virginia posted out at Moonbattery.com. My, my. It seems two can play at this game, huh? My thoughts are that this video needs to be spread throughout the nation for multiple reasons.

1. It demonstrates the lack of knowledge that these people have about how this government is *supposed* to work.
2. It demonstrates the feeling of entitlement these people have--I wonder how much of their own property they freely give up (minus the crazy commune guy).
3. It PROVES that there are people in this nation trying to sabotage the conservative movement (which is expected). It is up to us to counter these acts of sabotage and get the word out that these people play DIRTY and want your freedoms taken away.

Enjoy.

Words of Wisdom

A friend sent me this statement in an email. Short and sweet. But how true it is. Read this, then stop and think about what it says. Profound, indeed. (emphasis mine)

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." * Adrian Rogers, 1931*

Freedom of Speech Only Applies...

Well, posting once a month is unacceptable and I deeply apologize. I will try to be more proactive with this blog--but I simply can't help but let the smell of fall and football just around the corner distract me from my obligations. Because, in case you haven't noticed...I love football. But enough about that. I do my daily reading of news stories (if you can call it that--"news"), and I check on my favorite blogs for updates and I find myself AMAZED at what some people will let this current administration and its goonies get away with.

Flag@whitehouse.gov? Seriously? Hey little ones, if you hear your mommy and daddy talking bad about our President or his policies, please let your good White House know. Remind you of anything else? Please note when that link was published. Yes--I saw (like many of you) the potential of similarities long before we elected this man into office. I say "we" in the most general sense of the word.

It's only proper to dissent when you disagree with W? But don't you dare oppose Obama and his goons. Never mind that they're trying to ram through legislation that our representatives have admitted to not reading (I don't think a link is necessary--as we've all seen the reports). I think one of my favorite quotes thus far comes from Dan Jeror (h/t John Hawkins at Townhall.com), "Why would you guys try to stuff a health care bill down our throats in three to four weeks when the President took six months to pick out a dog for his kids?" Ummm. Good question.

As I sit hear and ponder today's politics, I honestly get sick to my stomach that there are actually people that are accepting this type of behavior. Organizing for America is grassroots? Please. I pray daily that more and more Americans wake up to what is happening and let these fools know in D.C. that we are ON TO THEM. We are not a monarchy--and just because you're a Washington bureaucrat does NOT mean that you are better than me--so get over this Marie Antoinette attitude. My friends--I can only pray that we show up at the polls with fury and rage come November 2010 and let these bureaucrats know just who IS the boss in this good ol' USA.

I wish more than anything I could head to Washington on September 12th...but with stuff going on in my personal life and you know, my JOB (that apparently I am simply working to pay for Joe Blow the LOSER), I am unable to get away. I hope that some of you are able to make it. We need a STRONG showing to let D.C. know. We're not messing around anymore.

So--my hiatus has resulted in a long rant. I will try my very best to do some research and post more than once a month from here on out. Maybe The General will contribute, too? (hint, hint)

Hypocrisy at its Finest--Part 2

A comment on some "very" popular website:

"whoever just sent their 10 year old son up to the microphone at Ross's townhall with a written statement he obviously didn't write and couldn't even read well ought to be ASHAMED of themselves!!!!! Using your children as a sympathy card to fight your battles is DISGUSTING."

I suppose its only DISGUSTING when the 10 year old is opposing the healthcare plan, eh? (click here for another source of the little gal)

When are they going to take a step back and realize that the "conservative" movement is simply taking a page out of their own book. I can understand why this person (I know said person personally) believes that healthcare for all is a good idea--I can't understand why said person is so eager to give up freedoms for it.

*sigh* I lied. I apparently can't let this go, eh?

Hypocrisy at its Finest.

"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." --Norman Thomas

Liberalism--we love you. We'll do everything we can for you, including giving you FREE health care. What could be better than free health care? Well, nothing, of course. (side step--except your FREEDOM)

From someone in AR with Patriotic Resistance:

I write you this evening to ask for your help! Senator Blanche Lincoln has decided to deny the citizens of Arkansas a chance to be heard, we have called her office repeatedly and requested an audience to no avail. As recently as today I personally called and ask if there were ANY opportunities to meet with the Senator in a public forum, I was told 'NO'. Tonight just after 6pm I learned of a meeting Sen. Lincoln will be holding in Rogers, AR this Saturday.

http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/gpfcwv

She is speaking at a "Health Care Public Event". She has seen fit to evade her constituents, deny us our right to be properly represented and now slaps the voters in the face by appearing in our own back yard without the courtesy of an invitation or even a notice. Notice of this meeting as of tonight is NOT posted on any of her sites and appears to have only been sent to members of the OFA.

Please join hopefully HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of Arkansans to say ENOUGH! WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED! This may be our one and ONLY chance to express in MASS our dissatisfaction and concerns about the current issues facing our families!

This Saturday AUGUST 15th

3:30

Samaritan Community Center (Rogers, AR)

1211 W Hudson Rd., Rogers, AR 72756

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!

Not saying that I'm an Arkansas resident or anything...but if I were I sure know who I would NOT be voting for come 2010. I can't believe this woman has the gall to do this as she's up for re-election and has quite a few people running after her job!!

Furthermore, how is this entire country (libs, conservatives, republicans, democrats, libertarians) not ALL in an up roar of the way our current Congressman and Women and Senators are treating their constituents (see here and here) and refer to above (Lincoln).

I could continue to go on and on...but I choose not to right now. A) because its Friday and B)because I hate my job and can only be angry at one thing at a time.

Football...

So, rather than think about the double standards our government is now demonstrating on a daily basis... I choose to think about football. Thank goodness its almost here!! By the way, Congressman X moved his "town hall" meeting to the middle of the day--without much notice, maybe to prevent those astroturf mobs from showing up? Ha. They found him anyway.
