AMERICANS, RETURN TO YOUR SEAT OF POWER



Tired of weak Republicans who campaign as conservatives but vote like Democrats? WE NEED TO TAKE OUR PARTY BACK.  We need to elect real conservative leaders, not just campaigners with their side-show and scripted, nice sounding lines during campaigns.  Too many Americans make their choices based on who makes them feel good or gives the one liners that tell them what their "itching ears" want to hear. With their pockets full of donor money or their own, campaign ads are generated with the expertise of marketing experts to sway and swoon and grab the emotions.  They LEAVE OUT their real records and admissions of votes for bills they said they would fight. Time and time again, we have watched the Republicans, with the exception of a few brave souls, bow down to the wants of the democratic president and their party.

Why would a party that claims a different view give the democrats what they want time and again? They play the "fool the American" game of politics.  Some have deals that give them more wealth. Many give their donors their wishes. Some even cast a vote that will benefit a friend or family member in some way. They even work hardest to promote their "gang members" as their elections near, even having them cast "good" votes knowing full well the rest not up for election will make the votes for the real desired outcome.

When you allow the "club members" to be in seats of power decade after decade, the web of connections for personal gain covers the party and traps many.  Their pride overrides their conscience.  Their pride blinds them to the people back home and how it effects their lives. They become specialized players making decisions and choices that benefit the "club," and outside party members are empty vessels only swooned and "wined and dined" with a buffet of well calculated messages and promises that they never intend to fulfill.  The CLUB is first and foremost their anchor of self-advancement, power and wealth.

If WE are to be served by leaders who put us first, then we must elect people with proven histories of helping people, keeping law, exposing corruption, standing up for truth, and uniting for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and its security, law, and sustainment. To attain this goal, WE must remove the club leaders and replace them with people who come from the bowls of daily living under their cold, dark hearts without conscience. And then we must replace them often, less they, too, become spiders in the web of deceit and power and wealth.

Democrats need to radically take their party back, too, but they've gone so far left and been so hypnotized to stroking and freebies and handouts and flatterings, and taught to dislike anyone who would offer another opinion or choice for the nation. The dividing leaders of their party have separated them out from their fellow citizens and mesmerized them to look at party leaders as elevated, idol stars. Dazed, just a little crumb dropped becomes gold if it was given by their dreamy leaders...... stars of the "faded"red, white and blue in their "shows" of power.

The trusting American makes choices based on WHO makes them feel "good," or on party name alone, and even some by the color of skin or gender.  Those choices are straws without foundation, without substance for giving individuals the job to represent their best interest in government workings. WHO ARE THEY? Have they been consistent in their former leadership roles?  Fair?  Truth tellers? Defenders of truth? Defenders of the Constitution that protects you from government rule and power over you? Have they lied to you?  Have people been hurt under their leadership? Are you more prosperous, have opportunities for advancement in your choices? ARE YOU STILL FREE TO MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICES, TO SPEAK, TO BEAR ARMS, TO WORSHIP AS YOU CHOOSE?

Time is WAY PAST DUE to STOP ELEVATING these politicians like they are your Sugar Daddies or your saviors.  They are to be SERVANTS, HUMBLE SERVANTS who are grateful for your trust in them and who show you their gratitude every day they go into the chamber to work.... TO WORK FOR YOUR BENEFIT AND THE NATION'S BENEFIT ALONE.

As a living, legal, free citizen in America, YOU MUST PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS, DEFEND YOUR FREEDOMS AND SEND ANY ONE HOME who does not put YOU in front of all decisions and votes they will make. ANY ONE.  ANY PARTY.  ANY COLOR OF SKIN.  ANY GENDER.  ANY ONE.

A Classic: 545 vs. 300,000,000 People - By Charlie Reese

Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. It was written back on February 3, 1984, but you'll swear it was written yesterday. Writing such as this is called beautiful by writers such as myself, because it's brilliantly simplistic, and beautiful, brilliant, simplistic writing is timeless.

545 vs. 300,000,000 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-picking thing. 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? John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He 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 cannot 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 and Afghanistan it's because they want them in  Iraq and Afghanistan.
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.

What you do with this article now that you have read it is up to you. This might be funny if it weren't so  true.  Be sure to read all the way to the end:

Tax his tears.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
Taxes to pass
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid...
Put these words
Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me
to my doom...'
When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the heck happened?  Can you spell 'politicians?'
I hope this goes around THE USA at least 545 times! YOU can help it get there!!!
GO AHEAD. . .  BE AN AMERICAN

Are Politicians Really Trying To Destroy Our Country?









Have you ever asked why, as we watch our future that was once so bright, fade into the twilight of despair, do Barack Obama and our elected officials appear to be doing nothing to put our nation back on track to regain the ground we've lost?
