The woman is truly "unusual" to say the least as are many of the progressives in our nation's capital; however, I was pleased to say that she had no kind words of support for the Obummer either.  That he may receive black support and votes in the upcoming election when this group is one of the worst hurt by the progressive policies is beyond belief.  And little ole Maxine supported him, so I believe she is attempting to salvage her own job.................let's hope she is unsuccessful.   A happy note, has everyone taken note that Europe is handling things totally differently from Obummer.  They have stopped spending and all support balanced budget amendments (which would seem to be supportive of the bills put forth by the republicans in our congress..........).  They tried to tell Obummer that he had to stop trying to "stimulate" by spending borrowed money!

Politicians like this one need a injection of reality, I know California is a very liberal state, but the Tea Party must have some presence in this state.

We must rally around the California Tea Party to support any candidate that runs against  Ms. Maxine in 2012.

She has been a pain in the --- long enough.

I agree with JSC that we need a candidate that knows how to land a punch, and more importantly, knows & loves the founding principles of America. How can freedom compromise with socialism or even enslavement?

The socialist agenda has been underway here in America since the late 1800's and now, more than any point in our history, we are cognizant of this effort.  The fact that we are asserting constitutional principles, the antithesis of socialism, on our government has backed these socialist proponents into a corner.  Just as any cornered "animal" will become irrational to defend itself, the socialist in this republic are too.  Here is an interesting document from 1916 and link as well as an excerpt from the document.

Excerpt taken from “The Intercollegiate Socialist Volume 5 October – November 1916”

 

To be sure, the Socialist have never seen advantage in perpetuating a capitalist state as such; but they usually have seen very great advantage in preserving such of its machinery as can be used in furtherance of the cause of democracy; and in preserving even the capitalist state itself from chaos until it can be conquered from within by the ballot and economic pressure and converted from a capitalistic state into a co-operative commonwealth.

 

The Intercollegiate Socialist Society (ISS) is now known as the League of Industrial Democracy (LID) and seeks to place ownership of all production in the hands of a collective society.

What we need is THOMAS JEFFERSON!!!  Go to the books and read what Mr. Jefferson has said about big government -- to paraphrase:  when your rights come from the government and not from God, the government can take them away!   Again about freedom to carry weapons, the best insurance against a tyrannical government is the peoples; right to carry guns!"  About over spending, when the government spends more than it takes in the peoples' liberty is diminished.

 

I could go on about banking, welfare, but please do your homework and LEARN ABOUT OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES. 

I'm sorry that Ms. Waters who, despite being female and black, reached the pinnacle of success -- to serve We the People, and she has, with both hands, just thrown away the respect and honor that comes with that achievement. 

God bless the Tea Party which stands for those exceptional values, and GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Maxine Waters also states in the clip that she is not intimidated.  She is also not intimidated by the House ethics commission allegation that she improperly tried to get a federal bailout for a bank in which her husband owns stock while serving on the House finanancial services committee.

The fact that a House ethics commission exists at all is certifiable proof that some members of House are there for self-aggrandizement and nothing else.

This is yet another reminder that one of the goals of the Tea Party is to get rid of self-serving politicians and support candidates that put the country before their own interests.

Ms. Waters, we are not intimidated by you or your SEIU thug supporters.

A bit long, but worth it.

 

“Rooster” Cogburn for President

By Paul R. Hollrah

 

My wife does not often make suggestions for what I should write about, but today was an exception. As we watched a Fox News update on the field of Republican hopefuls for the 2012 presidential nomination, she said, “You know what we need to defeat Obama in 2012? We need someone with “true grit,” and we still don’t have a frontrunner who fits that description.” I could not agree more.

According to the official storyline in the movie True Grit, 14-year-old farm girl Mattie Ross arrived in Fort Smith , Arkansas , determined to track down and capture a former hired hand, Tom Chaney, who had murdered her father. To aid in her quest, she hired the roughest, toughest man she could find, a one-eyed U.S. marshal with "true grit" named Reuben J. “Rooster” Cogburn, to track Chaney into Indian Territory and bring him to justice.

Almost every moviegoer over age sixty will remember and appreciate the original version of the movie, starring John Wayne, which opened in movie theaters across the country in June 1969. Wayne won both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award as Best Actor for his portrayal of the one-eyed “Rooster” Cogburn.

But Wayne ’s portrayal of the curmudgeonly lawman was typical John Wayne. He swaggered, he cursed, and he swilled a little whiskey, but he came off looking more like a kindly father-figure catering to a strong-willed daughter or granddaughter. It was not until 2011, forty-one and a half years later, when the remake opened in theaters across the country, that moviegoers finally got to see what “true grit” really looks like. That was when actor Jeff Bridges reprised the role of “Rooster” Cogburn.

Thinking back on the Bridges performance, I can fully appreciate that “true grit” is the single most important quality the 2012 Republican candidate must have. “Nice,” “accommodating,” and “bipartisan” simply won’t cut it against a man who compares well to Lucifer himself, so no George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, or John McCain lookalikes need apply. And just in case some might be tempted to think that former Florida governor Jeb Bush might be a welcome change of pace, let’s just assume that the further we wade out into the Bush gene pool the shallower it gets. Some may be willing to gamble on a third Bush in the White House, but I’m not.
