The rest of the time my radio is on. :/ Lately I have been getting robo calls from the Presidents campaigners that are irritating me, so I have to screen the calls. Definitely a great posting, enjoyed reading!Gossip_Grlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603645371306284338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-40381778058502276282012-09-27T22:45:45.071-04:002012-09-27T22:45:45.071-04:00Amen.Amen.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-31470279140727141282012-09-27T21:28:46.338-04:002012-09-27T21:28:46.338-04:00We are losing the country I grew to love so much. ...We are losing the country I grew to love so much. America is an idea, not a benevolent kingdom that generously feeds its dependents. America protects and provides for those who cannot fend for themselves, but it does not foster dependency.

Britain was in debt (sound familiar?) and decided that the solution was to raise taxes here. Well, that didn't go over so well. (As in really not so well.) It all came to a head at a little event now named The Boston Tea Party. It was America's way of letting Britain know that we were not going to pay their increased taxes. (They could basically take their tea and shove it.) Well, that didn't go over so well in Britain. Interestingly enough, many didn't actually want to separate from Britain. They considered themselves Loyalists. They simply wanted Britain to back down and drop the tax thing. However, that wasn't going to happen. And it erupted into something much bigger. Revolution. A document declaring our Independence from Britain. The people who signed that document were doing two things 1) establishing the most fair government that they could - a democratic republic - that protected the rights of everyone. It was very important, since they already knew what a lack of freedom felt like, and 2) they were signing their death warrant if they didn't succeed. It was a powerful document. They were brave men.<br /><br />You see, it is no coincidence that Washington started receiving tea bags by the load. It was a STRONG MESSAGE about taxation. It was a historical reference to The Boston Tea Party. However, the press called all those "nuts" tea baggers. Those same "nuts" would be everyone who signed The Declaration of Independence, for the record. The press giving them a silly name doesn't make their cause less worthy.<br /><br />And the more Washington ignores those people who are fed up with taxation, the worse it gets. The same way it got worse when Britain ignored America about taxation. How did that story end? Oh yeah. Revolution. I really hope that Barack Obama gets fired this November so that it doesn't come to that.<br /><br />Or this country might look a lot like JJ Abrams' TV show, Revolution, on NBC. But with the electricity. I hope. <br /><br />As far as what you said... Jasmine, the people will wake up. The only question is when. I have come to realize that sometimes people have to lose all of their freedoms in order to fight for them. In other words, people seem to need to learn things the hard way. And some people won't see Obama until the mask fully comes off (if he wins again, it will come off) and then they will know. And when he starts making deals with Russia and trading away our safety. And making deals with the Middle East and trading away our safety, and that of Israel, and he taxes everyone to the breaking point. Hands out favors to his friends, breaks all of his promises, wipes that smile off his face, dishonors our flag and everything it stands for completely, revolution will ensue. When he takes away our basic freedoms even the most rabid Obama supporter will know they were sold a false bill of goods. I don't know how much good it will do. I suspect he will put all of our troops in foreign countries so that they can't help us here at home. Quarantine them that are here. Use the police against us. Ration us. Everything you can imagine and more. It's a good thing we have the Middle East to protect us. And he will have brokered a deal with Russia. They have all been fine allies in the past.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-74182671992131391722012-09-27T13:55:43.649-04:002012-09-27T13:55:43.649-04:00Right now everyone is being bullied by the Preside...Right now everyone is being bullied by the President. If you don't do it his way you will be "destroyed" and have no political future or any future. He is using backroom Chicago politics to bully everyone to do it his way. I freakin' hate a bully. There are other bullies like Nancy Pelosi all too happy to step up to the plate. He has garnered other lobbyist bullies and given then seats of power to help distribute the punishment. But not every Democrat who is voting with the President is actually WITH the President. Some are just scared not to go along. That is no way to run a country! Not every Democrat is a BAD Democrat; some are just sitting and waiting and quietly hoping for a change. They are tired of being bullied by the President.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-15866102276816009842012-09-27T08:10:24.170-04:002012-09-27T08:10:24.170-04:00I have to disagree with the one Democrat statement...I have to disagree with the one Democrat statement.

For a while it was giving me terrible nightmares, and then I just decided that what would be would be. Sometimes you have to lose your freedom in order to understand that you had it at all. I never thought I would live to see a time when there would be guns in my streets. Now, I am almost certain I will. I just want to go down in a blaze of glory.

I think she is right. Unfortunately, Obama lied about everything on his 2008 platform, as Malkin details point by point in her book, and his actions are speaking very clearly about his LEADERSHIP now. As you said, the media is trying very hard to whitewash what he does.<br /><br />You are right about one thing. This country has never been more divided. And, for me, it isn't about Democrats vs Republicans. It is one Democrat. One person who is lying, cheating, making backroom deals, and slowly trying to bring this country to its knees. I have voted Democrat before, and if this country doesn't go into Revolution before this is all over, I may vote Democrat again. But never for this man. Obviously.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-21671861637508003642012-09-26T22:34:37.908-04:002012-09-26T22:34:37.908-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-30876543164745302802012-09-26T22:28:59.518-04:002012-09-26T22:28:59.518-04:00I agree with both of you.

It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."<br /><br />I do believe that we get to vote for those whom we feel can improve our country and move it forward.

I try to keep politics to a minimum but we all need to at least be aware of what's going on and have civil dialogue and make our decisions based on facts and the truth and that will not come through the lapdog media that has circled the wagons around Obama. The union people are just useful idiots. Do they think when the government runs everything and all people either work for the government or are dependent on the government there will be unions? I think not. Unions are just helping the liberals collapse the economy so they can take over the private sector. The dollar has lost 30% of its value and they continue to print money. He has time to appear on David Letterman and The View. He has time to hang out with Beyonce and JayZ while our embassies are on fire and our ambassador to Egypt and three others are killed. He even hides behind the cause being that video and it wasn't that at all. He has taken a stance of appeasement and apology rather than strength and has invited challenge. He is a very poor leader. I remember when he first got elected he said the Republicans drove us into the ditch now they can't have the keys. They can come along for the ride but have to sit in the back seat and can't say anything. That's leadership? That encourages cooperation? He is an arrogant narcissist who thinks his warmth and smile will make people like us. The last two years of the Bush administration there was a Democratic congress and at the beginning of Obama's administration he had it all, got what he wanted passed, and has made a royal mess of things. He always has someone to blame. Has this country ever been more divided? Four more years of him will be a disaster.downsizershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936040379217292517noreply@blogger.com
