This is for all those Americans who keep telling me and others that the TSA is only violating our 4th Amendment rights to protect us from the terrorist. Really? How much time have you put into thinking this philosophy through? My guess is not much beyond what TSA Chief Pistole and DHS Sec. Napolitano has told you. If you took just a few moments more you would probably figure out what the terrorist already know. First, they know it is very difficult to smuggle anything on a plane. Second, they know it is difficult to smuggle anything into America, including terrorists. Third, they know that if they did get in again and get on a plane, they could NOT duplicate 9/11 or even come close. They and everyone in defense knows that if such a situation occurred again, before the planes could do any damage they would be blown out of the sky by F-16s.

So, on 9/11 they had specific targets in mind that could only be hit via the method they choose for that day. Certainly couldn’t have had 19 trucks drive to the White House, the Pentagon, the Capital building and the twin towers and blow up, doing the same type of damage. Remember…they tried the truck bomb on the Towers in “93 and it failed. Since the terrorist are smart enough to see where we are vulnerable they also are smart enough to see where we are not.

For example, let’s say they have another 19 terrorist here on U.S soil at the moment and these guys are looking to kill a few thousand Americans. Let’s also say they want to do some serious damage to our economy to further sink us in a recession or even a depression. What target or targets could they easily hit and not face ANY security checks, no scanning machines, no pat downs, nothing? Hum, anyone ever heard of Black Friday? Any of you “I’ll give up my 4th to say my ass Americans” ever gone down to the Wal-Mart on that day or any Mall? Let’s say these 19 terrorist put a few dozen bombs in a few dozen bags each…that’s 19 terrorist times 12 which I believe is 228 bombs. Now, split those guys up and send them to a few giant Malls around the country on Black Friday. They drop off two or three bombs at a Wal-Mart, drive down the street to a Mall drop off 3 more, repeat this until they each gone to 4 Malls or super shopping stores. Then they wait for the timers to detonate at say 8:00am when it’s going to be super busy.

I think a rough estimate for how many people would be killed is easily in the 10’s of thousands…not just 3000 as on 9/11. They would effectively shut down shopping all across America and our economy would be shut down along with it.

So, if they have more terrorist IN our nation, don’t look to the airports for their next strike. Look a little farther in these guys psyches and I think you will come to the same conclusion I have. “YOU CAN NOT STOP THEM AND STILL BE FREE” So, do you want to have strip searches at the malls? How many locations do you want to have the scanners placed? Because for every “security method” you introduce I CAN THINK OF A WAY TO BEAT IT! And the great thing is…I AM NOT a terrorist…so if I can think of these ideas it’s pretty certain the terrorist can and have also!

The bottom line is that I do not want to live in constant fear and in a police state. I don’t want to have to show ID everywhere I go and be subjected to pat downs and naked screenings even at Wal-Mart or the Mall. If that is what America is going to become then I believe I’ll be heading some place where the people are not morons incapable of understanding you don’t give up ALL your freedom for something the government can’t give you anyway, A guarantee of security!

 
 
Pelosi said in an interview with Politics Daily that, “We haven’t really gotten the credit for what we have done”. Explaining further that Democrats were aware of what they voted for but that the message wasn’t getting out to the voters. Pelosi went on to blame the struggle with messaging on the millions of dollars raised by candidates running against Democrats. Saying, “You have all those forces at work, pouring millions of millions of dollars into the media, and now into the campaigns to mischaracterize everything that we did”.

I can only dream of being the reporter who interviewed Pelosi, because I would have had a number of tough questions to ask her in response to her statement. First, I would have ask her how she can claim that Democrats were aware of what they voted for, when she herself said about the health care law, “We must pass it so that we can then learn what is in it”. Oddly enough, when democratic supporters of the now law are questioned about the contents of the law they seem either ignorant of the subject or very confused. For example, perhaps Pelosi should speak with New York Representative Anthony Weiner about who exactly is responsible for enforcing the mandatory insurance for Americans. Mr. Weiner seemed rather defensive when questioned about the addition of IRS agents to “police” this enforcement of the Health care law. While on the O’Reilly Factor Weiner became angry and at one point refused to respond to questions about who would enforce the mandatory requirement if it was not the additional IRS agents added via the new Health Care Law, as he repeatedly denied. When pressed by Mr. O’Reilly to answer who is was, Mr. Weiner simply said there were no agents who would be enforcing the requirement. So, it’s a voluntarily self-enforced mandatory law?

Speaker Pelosi might also want to talk with her friend in the Senate Mr. Harry Reid, who seems to think he has no blame in the unemployment rate of Nevada, his home state. Reid also seems to believe that rather than governing over the worse unemployment rate in the country after 24 years in congress, that “but for me, we’d be in a world-wide depression “. I believe that those without work in Nevada would have no problem giving the credit to Harry Reid for their states current economic status. After all, he was the majority leader in the Senate who governed over a super majority for the better half of a year and who has been in a Senate with a Democratic majority since 2006.

While Pelosi is out talking about not getting credit for the work she and fellow democrats have accomplished she might also drop by the state of Georgia. While there perhaps she could talk with Representative Hank Johnson who should be credited with telling a Naval Admiral in response to 7000 more marines and family being stationed on the Isle of Guam that, “My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize”. Perhaps the Speaker can explain how islands form and that they are safe from the same fates that say a boat or ship might face. Then she can skip on over to South Carolina and help give some credit to the Democratic nominee for the Senate Mr. Alvin Greene. The party seems to think he is a loser and although he is unemployed, lacks any experience, can not form a complete idea or illustrate any actual plans for improving South Carolinas economy, let alone the nations, a MSM anchor said after interviewing him that “He is still better than DeMint”. This after asking Greene a variety of questions in which Green repeated the same talking point of “DeMint started the recession, DeMint is responsible for the recession”.

Yes indeed, Speaker Pelosi you Democrats have not been given the credit you so richly deserve. Or put another way, you Democrats have not been given the blame you so richly deserve. However, I believe come November 3 you will have all the credit and reward you will need for at least another two years. Then we voters get the chance to “thank” your fearless leader President Obama with an election night he will not soon forget. Americans are about to introduce you to lots of “credit” for all you have done and you are going to get your just deserts. Count on it!

 
 
If you have attended or watched a debate or a town hall meeting, you’ve likely encountered heated exchanges among opposing groups. In some instances, fist fights and other forms of violence have been recorded. The case for civility has been replaced by the case for being heard, even if it’s by shouting over the candidates speaking.

I certainly would never advocate violence or disruptive behavior in settings that are clearly reserved for cooler or calmer heads, but I can understand how this behavior transpires. When a large group is repeatedly denied access to simply have their opinions heard, you are likely to see frustration build to an eruption like we have seen in these debates and town hall meetings. For over two years a large section of Americans have sought to have their grievances heard by their representative government and this group has been ignored, castigated, vilified, and even mocked. Finally, the group has reached the boiling point and their anger is spilling over in the form of outburst like we’ve seen at debates and town halls around the nation.

Child psychologist will quickly tell parents that if you ignore your children and allow the lines of communication to deteriorate they will lash out to get your attention. Marital counselors will expound upon the importance of two way communication to ensure a healthy marriage and spend countless hours counseling spouses on how to “listen” to your partner. In all relationships, when communication is halted or becomes a one way street, conflict arises.  So, why members of our government are shocked or appalled by the disruptive and sometimes violent reactions they are now seeing is stupefying.

When a large voter block calls your office, emails your office and snail-mails your office with their desire to be heard, you had better listen and then respond respectfully. Instead far too many of our supposed representatives have not only ignored their constituents but have gone so far as to blame them for policy failures. It is no secret that the group I’m referring to is none other than the Tea party. Americans who have joined this group are simply fed up with the over reach of a government bureaucracy that seems more interested in growing the size of its departments than in growing the size of our economy. A government that has put more time and spent more money for hypothetical climate change dangers than it has spent reducing factual real world unemployment.

Dear Representatives, if you do not like the way your constituents are yelling and screaming at you during your debates, perhaps you should have taken their calls when they were still willing to simply discuss their concerns. Perhaps you Representatives should have been available to reply to letters and email rather than running around celebrating your Hope and Change, while your constituents were left hopeless and with only change in their pockets. Finally, if you do not want voters picketing outside your office or your home, then perhaps you should remember that you were elected to represent that majority trying to get your attention. You were not elected to show your moral or intellectual superiority over voters, quite the contrary. You were elected to humble yourself in the service of those who entrusted you with their voice, putting aside your own personal desires to do the will of the people. If you cannot or do not wish to fulfill this form of representation, then you should excuse yourself from public service and make your way back to the private sector, where you are free (at least at the moment) to expound upon your own greatness.

 
 
When MTV agreed to set up a “Town Hall” for President Obama to talk candidly with the youth of America who knew they’d use a page from China’s oppressive regime. Understandably when the President is going to be face to face with the public it’s best to have an idea if there are any possible John Hinckley’s or John Wilkes Booths in the audience, but short of the Secret Service declaring that all males named John can’t attend…I doubt a questionnaire really ferrets out these type of individuals, nor does a photo of their faces or more specifically, their abs.

 

When the Chinese leadership agreed to have a town hall meeting with President Obama but then handpicked the college students and gave them the questions they were to ask on note cards, this action was decried by the President himself as typical of a regime stifling honest open debate. I suppose President Obama has learned from his socialist comrades and has now taken to supporting the implementation of this new tactic in an effort to boost his ratings. I’m sure the professional young black woman who stood and made the claim that she was growing, “Tired of defending you”…was both shocking and painful for the President of the United States, who takes criticism from any quarter very personally.

 

In the article Infiltrating the MTV Casting Call Evan Gassman takes us along as he attempts to gain access to the Presidential Town hall meeting via the MTV all call. Mr. Gassman astutely realizes that listing himself as a moderate is far more likely to gain him entrance than saying he is an enemy of the President, ah I mean, than saying he is a conservative…but then these days these two seem to be interchangeable. I am still uncertain as to how showing ones abs would demonstrate either support for or disapproval of the President or even pose as a threat, but then we are talking about MTV, so perhaps at this point the individual doing the interview was just looking for a date.

 

What startles me and should scare the heck out of Americans is that we are entering into the same types of “screening” that takes place in countries like China, North Korea, and Cuba. These incidentally, are all countries whose current form of government mirrors much of the policy President Obama and the Democrats are forcing upon Americans. God forbid that America should devolve into a Socialist or Communist nation before we are even able to vote this devastating regime out of office. There can be no acceptance of this type of tactic, and make no mistake about my motives. This type of action is not permissible by either party, Democrat or Republican. Though I am making light in some ways of this event I am also bringing to light how serious this issue and ones like are to the freedoms we Americans have come to take for granite. I fear that this attitude has lead to many of our freedoms now, simply being taken from us
 
 
Today I had a disappointing conversation with my own mother. We were discussing the unfortunate pregnancy of an unwed niece in the family. My position was and is that this niece needs to explain to the younger girls in our family that getting pregnant before you are married or financially able to care for a child is a mistake. At the time she became pregnant she was neither married nor financially able to care for herself, let alone a child.

Though she worked two part time jobs she could not afford the medical expense that comes with having a child. Her response to my concerns on this issue was to say she had Medicare/Medicaid and WIC(women, infants, & children) a type of food stamps for mothers & children. When I pressed her to understand relying on government to cover your medical expenses and food did not constitute being personally responsible she became angry. I am not sorry. Someone needs to explain to her and millions of other Americans that “WE” responsible taxpaying Americans are fed up with paying for your irresponsible behavior.

I am glad she elected to have the child and did not compound one mistake with another. I know there are many who may suggest she should have aborted the child, but I disagree as a Christian. I and my husband did offer to adopt the baby to alleviate the financial and personal responsibility of raising a child she cannot afford.  Not surprisingly, she declined our offer and elected to care for the child with help from our tax dollars and now lives with the father.

The conversation with my Mother on this topic was frustrating because I fear her attitude exemplifies far too many Americans. My mother has been a Sunday school teacher and active member in her church for as long as I can remember. She was always a very conservative person with straight forward Christian principles that were unwavering.  Until recently when she seems to have faltered in her faith and is hesitant to call a spade a spade.  She attempted to defend my nieces’ position by saying that my husband and I have medical care from the government as my husband is in the Army and when we had our son it was no different than our niece. Though she is correct that our medical costs are covered by the government, she is incorrect in all else…my husband EARNS the medical benefits he is paid and that cover our family. He earns it by working longer hours and in more difficult and dangerous conditions than nearly any other American worker.

We are giving to the government just like every other hard working American family and we give far more than we receive. If my husband were to leave the Army and work for a civilian company he would make nearly double his current salary and have benefits for our family. The attitude that the government owes all Americans a free pass is ludicrous. This type of thinking is destroying the very fabric of our nation. We were built upon hard work and entrepreneurship, not pandering beggars who held out their hand. My mother went on to explain that she believes in another 5 years 90% of Americans will be on some type of food stamp program or welfare. Well, I’m not sure what type of math she is using to pay for this enormous expense but according to all the equations I’ve seen and done it isn’t possible that 10% of our nation can support 90% doing nothing.

Though I would agree that we are very much headed in that direction under the leadership of Democrats and especially our Socialist leader President Obama, it does not mean it is going to be sustainable. At some point those “chickens” of which some have oft referred to will in fact, come home to roost.  I explained this to my dear Mother and then said rather emphatically, that I would die fighting against such an America and I meant it then and I mean it now. Under no circumstances do I want my son to be raised in a nation where welfare is welcomed as the norm and hard work is rewarded with higher taxes and bitter jealousy. Already our fearless leaders are attacking the wealthy and their “Evil, greedy, schemes” with more regulation and antipathy than ever before seen in history. No wonder so many companies have gone overseas to less regulated states and Union-free labor sources.

Apologies to those who are reading this rambling rant but it is my first personal rant as most of my posts are more political than personal. I just feel ashamed to see members of my own family giving in to the free lunch mentality and giving up on the Freedom from Government intervention. I do not pine for the days when every aspect of our lives will be dictated and directed from some “elite” in Washington DC who knows best how I should live my life. In fact I’d rather be in a “pine box” having fought against such tyranny…Lord please send us a George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams to help get our nation back on the right track. Or at least give those of us who still love the liberty they established the courage to fight in defense of our nation, even if it’s against domestic enemies rather than foreign ones.
 
 
BREAKING NEWS Obama Administration moves to change name of Dept of Justice to the Dept. of "Just Us" after Coates testifies on Black Panther polling case. Apparent reverse racism has become systemic problem dating back several years and growing more problematic. THIS is NOT the Dream of MLK!! Justice is supposed to be blind TO race, not blinded BY race.

Listening to Mr. Coates testify that he had been directed by superiors that no cases of voter intimidation against whites would be pursued was very disheartening. It was also frustrating to see that two of the named supervisors were themselves minorities. I believe that Dr. King fought to see equality for ALL men of ALL races. I do not believe that Dr. King fought to put men and women of color in charge so that they could “get whitey” ...pay back was NOT what MLK preached. Those who seek such pay back do so at the peril of the memory of such great Civil Rights leaders who fought and died to gain equality.

Dr. King taught that one day we could live in a world where people would “...not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”.  To attempt to judge under any other measure is to shame what the Civil Rights movement was about and what leaders like Dr. King ultimately died to attain. So I say “Shame on those in the Department of Justice who seek to distinguish whether a case is worthy of investigation based on the color of the victims skin”.

This case is a litmus test for President Obama, Eric Holder, and the rest of the administration. Should it go ignored and those guilty of enforcing such racist or reverse racist actions not be fired, it will be a mark on the Civil Rights crowning achievement of finally placing a man of color in the Oval Office. I do not support the agenda of President Obama, nor did I vote for him to be elected. I felt then and feel now that President Obama does not have the best plan for restoring our nation. The color of his skin never entered into my decision of why I would vote for the other candidate.

President Obama ran on a platform that in part declared he would be a uniter and not a divider and yet our country has never been more divided. He made many promises on his campaign trail, as have other candidates, and like many other candidates he has failed time and again to keep those promises. I would hope that the one promise he could find in his power to keep would be that of the one made to all the leaders whose shoulders he stands upon. Men like Dr. Martin Luther King, Mary M Bethune, Fredrick Douglass, Medgar Evans, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, and many others before him, it is to these people who President Obama and Eric Holder owe much of their success and it is to these leaders that they owe the honor of ensuring that justice is Finally Equal!
 
 
As the news breaks that the Ground Zero Imam has been tied to another Muslim leader who is a Truther, I am not shocked. Truther’s believe that the United States planned and then carried out the attacks on 9/11 for some nefarious reason I nor most others do not know. No one will likely be surprised to hear that the Imam has ties to Islamic leaders who are not moderates as he himself claims to be, and are in fact, fundamentalist.  But what concerns me most is the knee jerk reaction this information has the potential to stir and then promote into actual existence.

For instance, O’Reilly and others have begun demanding that the funding behind the Mosque be researched and forced into the light. My gut reaction to this is absolute agreement. Then my rational side kicks in and says how can we institute such a policy? It would require that any church or non-profit organization that wants to build in the United States openly disclose who or where their funds originate. This is a major violation of our Constitutional rights and before you say, “But if you have nothing to hide, what’s the issue?” Well, you are counting on our government to continue to use these types of laws for only the safety of its citizens.  Problem is…history shows that all it takes is one corrupt leader to get in office and then these laws designed to keep us safe actually begin to do us harm.

Now, if some individual group investigates the Mosque funding and discovers it is linked to radical Islamic organizations or individuals then I’d be the first to support that information being given to the FBI or Homeland Security and further investigated. However, I am leery of allowing our government to try and regulate an area that is supposed to be free from government controls. I mean, the idea of separation of church and state is not a one way street..it’s a two way street. Just as the church should not be allowed to control government or what it does in a democracy or republic, neither should government be able to dictate how a church is run or built.

Please share your thoughts and opinions on what you think is the best thing for us do to in order to safe guard our nation and keep our constitutional rights intact.
 
 
According to The Chosun Ilbo(the English version)A team of Korean scientists at Soongsil University reportedly “concluded that the ship was probably hit by a Chinese-made 206 kg-class Yu-3 heavy torpedo.” This evidence will be crucial in the decision of how to respond given by President Lee of South Korea who previously warned that if conclusive evidence proved the sinking of the naval vessel was by the North Koreans a retaliatory strike could be expected. I sincerely doubt Mr. Lee has the fortitude to follow through with this threat as he will no doubt find any support for such an action non-existent from the United States’ current Administration. Most likely we will see more verbal saber rattling and strong finger pointing followed by a long sustained raucous laugh from the North Koreans.

These types of tactics are not new or even escalatory from the North Koreans. In my three tours to South Korea beginning in 2002 on each duty station assignment the North Koreans either attacked, fired upon, or made attempted attacks at US soldiers or South Korean and US naval vessels. The response to North Korea has been consistent...we threaten to levy more sanctions and then end up bartering with Kim Jung Il to stop one thing or the other. We give him funding he needs to feed his people which really results in funding for his military rather than for food to the masses. For a few months Kim Jung Il will be on his best behavior and then once the funding has run out he will go back to the well again with new attacks/attempts and more black mailing…oh I mean, “bartering” with the West.

The definition of insanity is when someone repeats the same action or process and expects a different outcome. So when President Obama and President Lee of South Korea demand more sanctions be placed on North Korea we will just see a continuation of the same cyclical insanity. Until such time as a credible response is made towards North Korea we can expect these guerilla type attacks to continue and more deaths to occur for South Koreas’ military or the US military.

Given that President Obama is an appeaser and believer in his own hype as a great peace broker...we are bound to repeat these tragic steps again and again for at least the remainder of his term in office. I am not suggesting that another US President, i.e. John McCain would have responded much differently but I do find it curious that the last time a “major” attack such as the one that took place against the South Korean Naval ship Cheonan, it would have been the taking of the USS Pueblo, still in the possession of the North Koreans and proudly displayed in their propaganda war museum to demonstrate their superiority over the USA. President L.B Johnson (D) also did very little to retaliate against such an act of war. What he did do was finally allow the North to keep a US Naval ship in return for our dead and captured servicemen. This was a major victory for the North not only militarily but in the eyes of the world. While the US sunk further into a war in South Vietnam, North Korea took the opportunity to act in a way they were confident would have little risk. My how the times they aren’t a changing...currently the US is involved in two wars and North Korea is on the move again.

As you may recall if you are a student of history, the act of provocation that took us to war in WWI was the sinking of the Lusitania, a British cruise ship. I find it odd that while the sinking of another nation’s ship would be just cause for the United States to enter a World War, the taking of a US Naval ship would not. This brings me back to recent events in particular the sinking of The Cheonan a South Korean Naval Ship. One must wonder what type of military attack or provocation by the North Koreans exactly, will constitute a threat sufficient to warrant a military response? Or shall we continue to play the game of black Jack, in which the North Koreans hold all the cards and determine who gets what at the table. The US and S.Korea may pound their chests and decry the actions of the North while expounding how superior the allied forces are etc. but until such time as the North is the one getting “pounded upon” we will see no change in the tactics they use.
 
 
Is it just me or does anyone else think it’s pathetic that the only way to get the Federal government to defend our borders against illegal immigration is for STATES to enforce the Federal laws our government won’t? After years of watching crime escalate on the border many states have tired of endless calls for action from those in Washington. Along comes a Governor worth her weight in salt who says enough and takes the only step available to her. Governor Brewer should be hailed as a Leader on the issue of illegal immigration. She is certainly not racist as many on the left are trying to brand her and anyone else in support of the new AZ law.

On my twitter page I noted that liberals such as Al Sharpton have used the Race card so often it’s now faded from Black to Brown.  Clearly, this is NOT a question of race but a question of legal versus illegal. There are thousands of foreigners who come to the US seeking to become citizens each year and they do so legally. All we are asking is that those in Mexico follow the path that is legally required for them to become productive law abiding citizens. I mean, doesn’t the expression “Law Abiding Citizen” have a place in America anymore? Since when do we allow cheaters to cut to the front of the line without any consequences for their behavior? Many would argue that these illegal immigrants aren’t criminals but mere men and women seeking a better life for their families. However, this ignores one major point of fact, by violating our border laws they have broken the law and are therefore by definition, “Criminals”.

I realize that many on the left especially, will decry this categorizing of illegal immigrants as criminal as more evidence of racism. That tactic is simply ill informed and lacking in substance. How can the left ignore the situation in Juarez, MX which neighbors El Paso, TX? They have had estimates of 400 to 5000 women disappear and end up murdered since 1993. To date these murders and kidnappings have gone unsolved. Many Mexican residents of Juarez believe it is unsolved because their own police officers are behind the murders. How’s that for safety? Next since 2006 there have been over 19,000 murders in the so called “Drug War” That is significantly more than all deaths from all nations involved in both the Iraq War, the Afghanistan War, and the 9/11 attacks. The most shocking thing about that number is that the Mexican government says the high number of deaths shows they are making progress?! Well if that’s progress I hope they keep that progress in Mexico and it doesn’t spill into the USA. We have enough to handle without adding that sort of progress to our menu.

As a home owner and former resident of El Paso, TX I can tell you I’m glad to be able to say “Former” and not current resident. I visited Juarez on three different occasions and have had numerous friends travel there as a part of their normal routine. Those friends no longer make those routine trips and I haven’t been back into Juarez since 2007 and have no immediate or future plans to ever return. So, I am 100% behind the state of AZ in their efforts to protect the citizens of their state and our nation from violence and crime in general.

The federal government under both Republican and Democratic control has passed the buck of immigration reform for far too long. Political expediency has come at a high cost for those living along the border and for our nation as a whole since illegal immigration leads to job loss among Americans seeking unemployment, especially in the construction industry. If the government would at least truly penalize companies who hire illegal’s I think it would be a step in the right direction. Many may not agree with the steps taken by AZ and it’s Governor Brewer..but a step forward is better than standing idly by as illegal immigrants and potentially violent extremist pour into our country through the porous border with Mexico. We’ve tried standing by and doing nothing for twenty years..let’s give AZ’s radical law a chance!

 
 
 
Dear Fellow Americans,

If you are an American who is frustrated with the spending in Washington DC and the refusal of elected officials to represent the Will of the People, then let your voices be heard at TeaParty's planned around the country! This is a non-partisan group who started having their fill long before President Obama took office! We were fed up with the spending and lunacy of George Bush also and had already put things in motion to stop his 'Bailout Bill". Many on the left and on TV seem to be trying to make this a racial/divisive group but I know from all my dealings that is NOT true. I am not a racist and have NO..absolutely ZERO tolerance for anyone who is and so do all the other members I am affiliated with in the Teaparty.

Regardless of whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent..you are welcomed to join our call for government to be fiscally responsible and stop the out of control spending and inevitable taxation that will be used in an attempt to pay for poorly planned social entitlements! We DO NOT wish to see violence or attempt to incite violence. Any actions that appear to do so will not be supported or tolerated by the Teaparty movement members.

Please be civil to anyone who disagrees with you or me. My response to members of the liberal left who call me racist or say we are destroying our country...is to recite a quote from Voltaire, "I do not agree with a word you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." That sums up all I need to respond to any attempts to anger me or start an argument that isn't of value. If someone wants to debate on the merits of a particular point then know your facts and sources and stick to those while leaving personal attacks OUT!

For more information on how or where to go to get involved with the Teaparty check out the website www.teapartypatriots.org

God Bless America and the Patriots who first founded it and the ones now fighting to keep us Strong,
Shannon
