Can you imagine their sense of accomplishment as the oath is administered for the very first time? The thoughts and memories of life under Britian’s thumb in mind. The bloody cost of their freedom also fresh in their memories. The turmoil, the frustrations, the threat of imprisonment, the pain of those who sacrificed all … no doubt all these thoughts swirled in the their minds as the witnessed the dream of a FREE AMERICA come to pass.
We can only imagine what their thoughts would be today in light of the emerging tyranny in Washington. How might they advise us to avoid impending doom? How deeply might they travail in search of Divine wisdom to steer around devastating obstacles that lie in wait, some visible others yet hidden? The hope yet lies with the PEOPLE of the USA. Will we be the checking power that our FRAMERS deemed us to be? Or will we be lambs easily led to slaughter?
For too long “good people” WE-the-PEOPLE have gone about our daily lives, trusting our elected officials to do what they’re elected to do. We have not been vigilant as we were cautioned to be, and now we have a mess that only WE-the-PEOPLE can fix. Government cannot fix it because it is the problem! WE are the solution!
I believe we will rise to the occasion, as Americans have repeatedly done in the past. I believe there is yet a spark alive in enough of us to spread the fire of FREEDOM to our neighbors, our co-workers, and our fellow Americans. But we cannot be silent any longer.

GOOD NEWS, amidst all the negative, it’s nice to know some progress is being made to take back our FREEDOM!
He brings out an excellent point … it starts at the LOCAL Level! If there are no good, trustworthy people running for local office, consider a run yourself. I know I am!

The Pieces of Obama's Puzzle are becoming Clear
With the passing of each day, new evidence arises that demonstrates just exactly how “OPEN and HONEST and TRANSPARENT” this administration has truly been thus far. The puzzle pieces are starting to fit together and the image they create is quite disturbing!!! From the FEMA internment camps to the “Fast & Furious” operation designed to raise an outcry for stiffer gun control laws, the Obama regime is moving step by step closer to an actual COUP! From Solyndra to the Wall St bailouts, President Obama must be held accountable for the misappropriation of public funds which he squandered to his cronies under the table – exactly as he promised NOT to do in his campaign!
Congress appears to be lock-step in line with him, too, which is a startling discovery. The fact that only 7 of our Congressional Representatives voted to OPPOSE Senate Bill 1867, otherwise known as the National Defense Authorization Act, which passed in the Senate the other day on a vote of 93 to 7, is absolutely appalling to me! Is it to you??? Although this bill is HUGE – 926-page bill, but there are only two small sections that have people up in arms, including me.
The controversial components of the bill can be broken down into two parts. The first questionable portion of the bill (section 1031) explicitly exempts U.S. citizens, and according to Slate, states that the government would be mandated to place into military custody:
“any suspected member of Al Qaeda or one of its allies connected to a plot against the United States or its allies.. [and] would otherwise extend to arrests on United States soil. The executive branch could issue a waiver and keep such a prisoner in the civilian system.”
The second provision (section 1032), however, does not include an exemption for U.S. citizens, and would give the government “the legal authority to keep people suspected of terrorism in military custody, indefinitely and without trial.” CONTINUE READING
I see this provision of this bill as justification for his actions the taking of radical Yemeni-American Anwar al-Awlaqi in a U.S. drone strike without Congressional approval or notification. As much as I support the chasing down of known terrorists, Obama went about this in an un-Constitutional manner!
From the beginning of his reign, he has sought to divide the population, thus nullifying any awakening on our part to his actions. If only the OWS folks could get this picture …
There has always been a “Ruling class” and there will always be a “Ruling class!” What Obama’s Keynesian policies have done is eliminate the “MIDDLE CLASS” he so publicly supports! It is HIS policies that have taken our wealth for the ruling elite! They remain untouched. It is the Middle class that is sinking into the basement with those who either struggle to live from paycheck to paycheck on minimum wage or those who choose to be dependent on the Government handouts. There will always be the few who by reason of mental or physical limitation cannot earn a living wage … These are not in question or refused the help they require!
We must NOT allow Obama another term to “finish what he has started!” Get logical:
Name an amount that might be satisfactory to sustain every American at a reasonable level. Maybe $1500/mo … $2000/mo?
Do you really believe this would work in America any better than it has in Europe, in the former USSR, in China???

The goal is the sterilization of America! It is our INDIVIDUALITY that establishes our Freedom. Once we succumb to the neutralization of our INDIVIDUAL differences, our individual talents, our INDIVIDUAL property rights, we become just another number. If we then surrender to the fear the various agencies build around us, we become more inclined to sacrifice our INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES for the vague hope of SECURITY – whatever that means!
The disturbing part is this has been happening right under our dis-engaged, dis-interested noses.
