JL & Pat

We can not AFFORD mentally, emotionally, or physically to be afraid of thugs and bullys. Too much is at stake.

I remember an episode from the ANY GRIFFITH SHOW when Opie was terrorized  by a bully that always took his milk money at the street corner before school. His father basically told him through a made up story about his experience with a childhood bully to stand up for himself. The kid hit him as promised,  but it didn't even hurt. As a matter of fact he laughed as he ripped into the Bully like a windmill in a tornado .

Well, at the end of the show Opie enters the station smiling with a black eye and proclaims "Ain't it a beaut?" tore in to him like a windmill in a tornado- you know what , a sandwich sure goes down better with milk ! "YOU WERE RIGHT , IT DIDN'T EVEN HURT"!

 We must face our fears, we must be accountable, we must take the initiative to stand our ground "when we're in the right." The lessons of this episode transcend bullys and milk money. The lessons of this episode are what we pride ourselves in as Americans. The pantheon of strong Americans, often carrying the plights of other nations and some of our own ill-motivated brethren were cast from the same fire Opie quelled.

See OPIE AND THE BULLY  on u tube. By far my favorite episode. -- keep Kleenex nearby.

Should of added POTUS made a statement last month that the American people were too, busy putting food on the table, that it all should be left up to 'Professional Politicians', that is what they are paid to do. I heard the same rhetoric in letters from Senator Bill Nelson, telling me that i can not understand difficult legislation that is what he is paid to do. Interesting to note that the Founding Fathers stated that once bills got too, big and too difficult for the average man to understand we have lost our freedoms, our government. I wish i could remember wish one stated that.

I don't think it will take a genius to clean it up. They have a great guide: US Constitution and all the Charters of Liberty and Freedom (a LOT shorter than the 2009 Stimulus bill and ObamaCare bill) Congress will have to repeal many bills, regulations, mandates, fees etc., plus go thru everything with a fine tooth comb (where have i heard that before?) and shut down many departments in the Federal government and go after waste and fraud. 

We will need a President, administration and Congress who wants to live up to a very hard challenge. Listened to Allen West tonight and he said we should be on DefCon1. He understands the President wants to spend time with his family and so do many thousands of soldiers in the theatre but they understand they must be away from their families to do the best job they can do for their country. Boy, he really knows how to put it in perspective because UNLIKE POTUS, he has been there.

 

You can spot the progressives so easy because they stiLL don'T GeT iT!

JL, and the folks who don't get it are the dictators and liberals from those countries, because the people themselves aren't allowed to have an opinion or at least not one they are allowed to voice.  That is what Mr. Obama would like for us and is why he wants to rewrite the constitution and bill of rights to make our country like their countries so he can continue destroying anything that passes for a free country!  He has etched away so much in such a short time, it will take a genius of sorts to clean it up and get us back to some sort of normal.  Heaven help us if we get someone who only wants to manage what this man has put in and doesn't have to back bone to make the kinds of cuts in the size and scope of the fedreral government needed and to revamp our tax system so people like Obama will never be able to use to tax code to penalize those who succeed and reward those who don't even bother trying to.

JLo&PaT & company...

I think that is WHY so many countries and ideologues don't understand, we are the only country to ever have a government of, by and for the people... WE THE PEOPLE. And they just can not wrap their heads around it. We don't respond the way they think we should, the Progressive Liberal Democrats don't GeT iT either!

Point well taken J. Lo!  Thank you for reminding us all of our past and how we stood proud and won!

Tea Party Members and the folks who side with us, are generally intelligent, brave, spiritual, and patriotic.  Dedicated to the principles and ideals which made this country the greatest ever in the history of the world. Our standard of living derived from evil capitalism has (had) no equal anywhere or at any time.

Bullies and thugs on the left can not comprehend our system of government or our resolve to break through to daylight and preserve our constitution at this very troubling time.

The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor hoping the "soft", easily scared, stupid  Americans would concede the Pacific region to them. They dared not strike the mainland because " there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass" Their words!

IT ONLY MADE US STRONGER AND MADDER. We walked into Tokyo less than 4 years later.

The 911 terrorists thought we would be horrified at the carnage and leave the Middle east with our tails between our legs. IT ONLY MADE US STRONGER AND MADDER. Ten years later we are STILL in the Middle East. (unfortunately)

In 1814 as the British troops, hell bent on burning Washington, D.C. to the ground, encountered a devastating freak tornado ripping through the middle of their camp killing more red coated troops than the American army. THEY HIGH TAILED IT BACK TO ENGLAND. Coincidence? I think not. Without getting into a spiritual discussion, lets just say that our war today is not solely based on flesh and blood.

Now, the progressives think we are not at optimum strength and still vulnerable so they need to strike at us HARD before we come into our stride . When you have no argument, violent threats are all that's left.

Stand Together

We WILL win!

Yeah man, they'll use that photo on the Jumbotron at the DNC convention with some Jay-Z thumpin' and jivin' rappin' shaking the walls and energizing the libtards to scream for four more years of glory.

Here is an interesting post just taken off a blog:

Thought some might enjoy the following; know there is more - much more - to this story. Be aware TP members have been paid visits, as have bloggers. Maybe you'll think of this next time you start yuc'in it up with a newbie.

HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW WE ARE BEING SET UP? Knowing one's enemy and being prepared for the possibilities is probably the most effective way to counter their tactics. Tea Party members are slowly being set up by the Left and it is extremely important we know about it. Please do not think that the recent incidences of democrats calling tea party members "domestic terorists" is a reflection of their ignorance. Absolutely not! It is carefully orchestrated and was started in 2009 with the Homeland Security report wherein anyone believing in limited federal authority was defined as a right wing extremist and subsequently a domestic terrorist.

Most of you know that if you call someone a name often enough, some people will start to believe it. And the term "domestic terrorist" is particularly egregious because it is the term used in the Patriot Act to define the charge which allows the government to lock one up indefinitely. It is a felony and renders one unable to "bear arms". Please understand that before the 2012 election is over, it is highly likely that tea party members and even some well known "personalities" will be arrested and locked up under the charge of domestic terrorism by the current administration as a warning to the rest of us. The media will be full of "I told you so" reports carefully designed to cast us as the evildoers.

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THIS?

Please warn your local members; exposing this plan is key to neutralizing it.
