Effective Protest ?

The original tea party protest was the spear head event of a tax protest movement by the American colonist which quickly brought the English tea merchants to the brink of ruin. Like the tea party protest of old, our current protest may only be effective when the impact of our displeasure is felt in the pockets and investment portfolios of Washington politicians and bureaucrats. Of course the government can always print more money, as it has recently become accustomed to doing with abandon, to soften the blow of an actual tax revolt. However is an effective tax revolt possible? If all conservative patriots decided to no longer pay any tax at all, how would that work? The original tea party had teeth because the economic structure of a free market had yet to be tampered with by self seeking socialist ideologues. Our current tax policy is a great multi-tentacled octopus reaching into every area of life. Try to avoid paying your local, state and federal t...

Don't Fall For It

So the sleeping giant awakes. Of course after many years of slumber the giant appears to be grumpy and even angry. Look at all the freedoms that have been lost since we fell asleep. Apparently, we are risking the possibility of loosing more. Of course there is pent up frustration on the part of everyday Americans. Our elected leaders and representatives are not listening and not governing with wisdom and regard for the individual. Yes, there is a time for shouting and protesting. But we cannot descend to the tactics of the left without appearing as foolish as they are. When we are given the legitimate vehicle for debate and discussion we should take the opportunity and use it to our advantage. There are questions that need to be asked and need to be addressed directly. We do not need to give in to the premise that we have a health care crisis, or any crisis for that matter. Let's demand an investigation and find out who is responsible for creating crisis. This administration thrive...

Let's Grow Up - Part 3 - Robin Hoods Big Brother

Science fiction literature has always taken us on fantastic voyages of the imagination. The most memorable and effective of such literature use truth as its foundation and oppose it by taking dangerous ideas to the most extreme logical conclusions. This is the strength of George Orwells classic "1984". The iconic head of the fictional world power state of Oceania,"Big Brother", was always watching to make sure that you maintained the ideals of the "Party". Thought-crimes where not tolerated and severely punished. In our real world we have created the technology to approximate with amazing similarity the capacity for the state or any collective to track our every move and characterize and categorize our individual ideologies, and material and social preferences. Of course much of this capacity is due to our perception that these technologies help keep us safe from criminals, gives us flexibility in our methods of paying for transactions, makes our lives mo...

Let's Grow Up - Part 2 -There Are No Unions In Heaven

There is a story told about a landowner who went out at daybreak to hire workers for his vineyard. After agreeing to pay the workers the usual day's wages, he sent them to work in his vineyard. About 9 a.m. he saw others standing in the marketplace without work. He said to them, 'Work in my vineyard, and I'll give you whatever is right.' So they went. "He went out again about noon and 3 p.m. and did the same thing. About 5 p.m. he went out and found some others standing around. He said to them, 'Why are you standing here all day long without work?' " 'No one has hired us,' they answered him. "He said to them, 'Work in my vineyard.' "When evening came, the owner of the vineyard told the supervisor, 'Call the workers, and give them their wages. Start with the last, and end with the first.' "Those who started working about 5 p.m. came, and each received a day's wages. When those who had been hired first came, th...

Let's Grow Up

Hosea 4:6 " My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge :" The awe and devotion of both the state run media and its audience to the Obama administrations Robin Hood like antics is truly disturbing. It is not the fact that this administration misses no opportunity to expand its tax base and broaden its scope of power that is disturbing. What concerns the conservative patriot today is the number of child like devotees following merrily along behind the pied piper, little knowing or caring about the peril that lies ahead. What has bewitched these followers? How has their capacity to reason been handicapped? Why are they so easily deceived? Many of Obamas followers, who consider themselves intellectual contemporaries, have worked tirelessly for this very day. Finally, one of their own, the product of an educational system totally enamored by and directed toward the creation of a socialist utopia, has assumed the mantel of national leadership. They, along with mainstream state r...

Independence Day ?

As we reflect upon Independence Day 2009, keep in mind the enemies of our great nation are alive and well and are more emboldened than ever before. Many hold public office and positions of great influence in media, education and the marketplace. Many have been working diligently knowingly and un-knowingly to move the following agenda items forward. How many would you say have been successfully implemented? Congressional Record-- Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963 Current Communist Goals EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR.

At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Go...

Let us Pray

The National Day of Prayer was founded in 1952 by a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. It reveals the deep understanding that many Americans have that this country was founded upon Judeo-Christian ethics and receives its blessing from the God of heaven and the influence of His word the Bible. This years day of prayer holds much deeper meaning as we face the un-relenting encroachment of un-restrained government into the fabric and freedom of our lives. At risk is not only our economic freedoms but intellectual and religious freedom. These include most importantly freedom of conscience and expression and the right to speak the word of God regardless of who may be offended. Hate crimes legislation is on a fast track through the halls of leadership and may soon threaten our ability to protect ourselves and our children from a perverted sense of entitlement characteristic of those pursuing alternative sinful lifestyles. This is a spiritua...
