      What is funny is that in order to say that the US is “insane” NOW….they must be able to point to somewhere in the PAST that was “sane” and restore THAT point. Isn’t that looking backwards? Didn’t Bill Maher say that the only reason there were Democrats was to “drag the other half of this country” forward? :-)

    You Can’t Fix Stupid – but you Can Vote ‘Em Out !!!

    Our great country was founded by and for the citizens of the thirteen colonies. It was designed to insure that a central government was controlled and limited by representatives of those citizens. It was given a limited amount of power, with many checks and balances, to secure the rights and freedoms for its citizens. They were making sure that an American Government would and could not become as Britian had. England enacted laws and taxes on their American subjects, but without allowing the colonies a say in their government. Ignoring the will of the people of America, they bullied and took away what limited rights they had and tried to force them to comply. Sound familiar? Yes, we don’t have to look far across the Atlantic at a despotic leader, we have only to look at the Oval Office in Washington, D. C. and to those whom we had entrusted the liberties of the people and the country. Our representatives, Senate and the House, are there to represent the will of the people. Instead, they have consistently lied to their constituents, both during campaigns and when in office. They have consistently robbed the American people, not only of their money, but also by stealing their liberties, little by little. The incumbent office holders allow themselves to be above the law, they allow themselves to steal by back-room corrupt deals and the like. They ignore the very people who put them in office, they even resort to passing laws, under cover of darkness. They hide laws and corrupt deals in the midst of thousand of pages of laws. This has always been a trick of unethical lawyers. Their mindset is to bog down any opposition by inudating them with mountains of paperwork. Then, they laugh and call the people stupid and ignorant, or worse! No doubt, I could go on and on. Their lack of character, morals and ethics makes them unfit to be employed anywhere, let alone entrusted with the security, freedom, and economic growth of this great country. They have taken your freedom to worship, especially targeting Christianity. They have tried to rewrite the American history, to further their agendas, just like the Moslems continue to do with Israel.

    Soon after deciding what sort of Government America was to become, that very question was asked of Benjamin Franklin. In reply Franklin said, “A Republic….if we can keep it”. This is a question that should be upon the lips of all true American patriots. If we can’t or more correctly, if we won’t, then we don’t deserve it. The choice is up to us, the American people, and the answer should be and must be yes we will!

    You’re probably asking how do we insure that we will keep this nation a free Republic. Oh, we voted for only those who promised no more taxes, no more spending, etc., etc. Of course they all were proven to be liars again (or should I have said they were just not quite forthcoming or perhaps they were a little disingenuious?). Then we did the “best of the two evils” choice. This was no different than the “Magician’s Choice” trick! We now know that there is no difference between Republicans and the Democrats when it comes to which is telling the truth. Neither has the best interest of America at heart, probably not even in mind! Their goal is simply to acquire power, money, more power and more money while doing and saying anything to remain in office.

    So what is the answer? They don’t listen when the people, overwhelmingly, protest and tries to voice their opposition. So the American people need to get their UNDIVIDED attention. How? WE THE PEOPLE, must vote any and all incumbents out of office. It doesn’t matter if they are better than most. If they haven’t been part of the solution, then they are part of the problem. THEY MUST KNOW AND WE MUST LET THEM KNOW THAT GOVERNMENT WILL NO LONGER BE RUN BY ROUGUE LAWYERS AND OPPORTUNISTS, PROGRESSIVES (AKA SOCIALISTS), ETC. THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN MODERN-DAY CARPETBAGGERS OR WANNA-BE DICTATORS. THEY MUST BE EDUCATED TO THE FACT THAT THEY WILL BE VOTED OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN, UNTIL THEY LEARN THAT OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO RUN THEIR OWN VERISON OF CRIME, INC.
    AND THOSE THAT ARE ELECTED TO OFFICE, BUT CONTINUE TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT WILL SOON LEARN THEY WILL HAVE ONLY ONE TERM IN OFFICE.

    We, the people, need to lobby our newly elected representatives to enact new laws to insure ALL our freedoms, our security, etc. Enact laws that ethical or criminal behavior of representatives will be prosecuted swiftly and severly, with no possibility of any pardon…not by a state Governor nor by a President! Enact laws or amendments to limit a President to one term only, ensuring that any damage to our country will not be as damaging as is obvious with this Government. Further limit the terms of our Representatives, both in the Senate and the House. Imperative to limit the term of all Supreme Court Justices to no more than an eight year term and make an amendment that the justices can no longer re-interpret the Constitution, but uphold the laws as it was written and intended by the original framers.

    So, the bottom line is this: unless the American people get the undivided attention of those in government…when you and your family members are homeless and hungry or at the very least jobless…remember, you have only yourselves to blame.

    THE ONLY WAY TO INSURE THAT YOUR FUTURE REPRESENTATIVES WILL LISTEN TO ITS CONSTITUENTS IS VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS!!! FROM THAT POINT ON, EACH REPRESENTATIVE MUST KNOW WE WILL VOTE THEM OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL WE HAVE RESPONSIBLE REPRESENTATIVES THAT UNDERSTAND THEY ARE THERE FOR THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

    You Can’t Fix Stupid – but you Can Vote ‘Em Out !!!

But they will claim many more attended than attended Beck’s rally. and after all, the most important count will be Tuesday night when they try to explain the absolute massacre the Dems will suffer at the polls. I can hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth as they rend their garments and Chris (tinkle down his leg) Mathews comes totally unglued on national (but not watched by many) television on MessNBC.

      Let‘s just keep in mind that it doesn’t really matter how many showed up . . . it’s far too many; even if it were a thousand.

      The truth is there are a lot of people on the Mall today taking part in the further corruptions of modern liberalism in action. But let’s make sure we’re all looking at the same things: These pictures of liberals on the Mall, they’re of a lot of people that have been deceived for most of their lives, led astray. We need to keep sight of the fact that their numbers are dangerously representative of a great population that also have deep rooted and corrupted convictions; convictions that motivated them to assemble in such show of force today.

      Our only perspective here should be to observe the intended and long term goal of this extravaganza, that it was clearly organized for intent purposes other than laughter. Most importantly, that would be to promote the atmosphere of their shared beliefs, to pass on the infamous “feeling,” to make it grow, even in the face of great contradictions as we so often see liberal pundits doing. But let’s be as close to real as possible. Embrace the idea that each and every one of these attendees is a source of liberal light as it is most certainly expected that they will pass along their liberal cultural DNA when they leave, to further grow the liberal mindset into future generations, indoctrinations . . . From that perspective, there’s a lot of work for the Tea Party to do, culturally.

      And then, from a foreword looking historical perspective, this event is more than we would like it to be for sure. But we acknowledge it, face it and then as a united GOP dismantle it with the same purposeful patience that it took for modern liberalism to cultivate itself into what it is in our modern era as the Democratic Party.

      Here, we can understand that over time we have grown a collective understanding for the patience that has accompanied the Democratic Party’s corrupt purpose; that out of the founding of the Democratic Party, of Martin Van Buren’s doing around 1820, the same deceptions and contradictions of Colbert and Stewart went on back then, as if it’s all from the same dust laden playbook used over and over again for a hundred and ninety years.

      And if we look at that era for just a moment, at the beginnings of the Democratic Party, to understand why and how it was created, we see how so many things have evolved in the ways in which they have. One small example is the fact that Van Buren, when organizing and promoting the party as a breakout of the ineffective “do nothing” Republicans of that time, had to do so by maintaining the culture of slavery in the South while still appearing to be anti-slavery himself being from the North, needing to maintain favor there and also in the expanding West as well . . . All that is of a another and greater story, but is very related, as is the continuance of slavery brought on by the actions of the Democratic Party, of its origination. In that, consider that perhaps one of the Democratic Party’s greatest lies, deceptions and contradictions was in the founding of themselves; they have been a sham from the very beginning and have been propagating the same lies for almost two centuries as Van Buren framed it back then as a pursuit of absolute power and nothing else.

      The point is the Democratic Party was built upon great deceptions and contradictions that required equally great showmanship and biased media attention of the time to glaze over and shield truths from the populations they targeted, appealed to; the people’s minds that they wished to cultivate into giving them the power that they sought.

      But that’s all if there’s any confusion over what is actually going on at the Mall today . . . contradictions, lies, deceptions . . . Stewart opening with the National Anthem for instance; the “feelings” of the liberal when they hear the words . . . so different from ours. They’ll tell us there’s nothing political about the event . . . but everything is political, everything, and they know it . . . They live by it.

      What’s up with Usuf? You notice John Stewart only introduced him as Cat Stevens and Usuf… careful not to finish his name and mention it it is ISLAM. That’s some diversity alright… considering that Usuf Islam (after converting to the Muslim religion) publicly stated that Salmon Rushdie should be killed/executed for writing a book they didn’t like. CENSORSHIP IS BAD ENOUGH, BUT LEAVE IT TO THE LIBS TO FIND SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES THAT WE SHOULD MURDER PEOPLE FOR FREE SPEECH… and have them sing PEACE train… absurd… blind leading the blind!

      Following Ayatollah Khomeini’s February 14, 1989 death threat fatwa against author Salman Rushdie, Cat Stevens (aka USUF ISLAM) addressed students at Kingston University in London about his conversion to Islam and was asked about the controversy in the Muslim world and the fatwa calling for Salman Rushdie’s execution. He replied, “He must be killed. The Qur’an makes it clear – if someone defames the prophet, then he must die.” ["Philadelphia Inquirer", February 24, 1989, p.5A, "Iran: West to blame Islam for forthcoming terrorism".]

      Gotta love the socialist left’s idea of “peace.” This was just a really bad variety show to pat the egos of Stewart and Colbert… while the libs played patty-cake with each other, thinking they were making fun of Glenn Beck. But all they really did was PROVE OUR POINT… they acted like silly brainwashed sheep, discussed nothing of value… partying while the ship goes down. Quite the opposite of the intellectual discussions of the Beck Rally, which was full of profound spiritual and political discussions, in an effort to save the nation from an impending fall.

      Here is to all those who think that 8/28 was about fear. Remove your head from a certian part of you body and take a deep breath. Nobody should ever fear their goverment, because goverment should not have that much power over your life. There is a difference in protecting people, and being interfearing. To all of those who are puppets of progressive radicals, if you let goverment tell you how to live your life from cradle to grave. Then prepare to be slaves.
