Patriots of a New Era

Jan 20^th 2009

The night before I like millions of America went to bed, hoping that we would wake up the next day and realize that all that has happened was just a dream, but we woke up the next day realizing it was a nightmare, and it has gotten worse everyday since, yes Dorothy we are no longer in Kansas.

The socialization of America to me is unacceptable, while the elite in Washington, (I am not calling them that, they believe that) sit back and spend money like we can go out back and dig up some more, sell us, our children and our grandchildren out, thinking they will all live in a utopia while we all bare the burden for them and the rest of America who choose to live off the Government while we work and pay for them and their mistakes, like we are a third world country blessed by ignorance

Well I for one am not going to set around and wait for a Government handout, it is time we shout from every corner every place we can get a chance to speak, living rooms, internet, television, newspapers, radio where ever there is a forum, every form of government must realize they work for us, not us for them.

We must take back what is ours, if you want the Government to run your life, please pack your bags, and move to France, or China, or Russia, I am sure we can raise enough money for one way tickets for all those who wish to become socialist, or maybe we can just give you all California, there is plenty of choices for the welfare state, but your not going to get my Country.

Do you not see where they are headed, if they can get you to depend on them for education, food, health care, a government check, you will have no desire to work, or fend for yourself, you will have no survival skills, your children will be taught what they want them to know, there will be no values, family, marriage, life, love will have no meaning. They will be ideas that are outdated, and no longer needed, that means your no longer needed, with a government health care system, you get sick and are no longer needed your euthanized, your experimented on with drugs not yet safe your expendable, children will become a luxury, a pure race, no children born sick will survive only a strong child will be able to live, if you think I am making this up, ask any one who lived in Germany under Hitler, or Russia under Stalin, this is the path they all took, your library will contain books that are government approved, your news will be state run you will to have a special card or tag to buy and sell, everything you know and now have will be gone, if they control the banks they control the money if the control the money they tell you how much you can make and spend, if you set back and let this happen shame on you.

My grandfather came over from Germany and many of you have had family or maybe yourselves just came here, it can and is happening now, this is a call to action, America needs Patriots to rise up and say enough is enough, she needs someone to defend her from our enemies within, and Keep America Free.

When Obama was sworn in he took an Oath to defend and preserve the Constitution of the United States, not to rewrite it and make it his own, he is failing to preserve our rights as Americans, attacking our 1^st and 2^nd amendment rights as we set by and let him, we must rise up and fight, for your family, your family, for America.

We need Patriots now who have had enough, are you ready to give your all? Every Soldier lives by a code if I am going to die, I want to die with my boots on, to go down in a blaze of glory, and that is the way I am going, it is a time,no holds bared no backing down, stop them where they are.

George Washington the Father of our Nation gave a great speech as a final farewell, he published it in the newspapers, and gave America a lesson that still should be taught today, If any one should know how to run our Government it should be the men who framed the Declaration of Independence and wrote our Constitution, and set forth our system of government and we should learn from history that our leaders had it right and should heed their words of wisdom on Government and Morality, and that a people without Morals and a Government without morals will never make it. Maybe our outgoing and incoming leaders should set down and read the letter together, and figure out when and why our government went wrong.

Why each President has left a mark on this Country, History is what keeps us in check and reminds us of our human form, there is probably no greater job known to man, than to be the leader of the United States of America, and no greater stress or thankless job either. I would like to thank each one that has served, and pray for them. I have not agreed with them on every issue, and neither have you, and that is what makes this a great Nation we can disagree and let our leaders know without fear. Mr. Bush as you leave office you are not a perfect man, nor am I, you have served our Country well, not perfect and time and history will be your Judge. May your days be filled with peace and life with joy once more, Mr. Obama your turn to Govern us is soon, May God be your guide and may you serve this Country with honesty and truth and with duty and honor putting your fellow Americans above political party.

…….The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government. But the constitution which at any time exists until changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people is sacredly obligatory upon all. The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government
All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction; to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community, and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans, digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests.
However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things to become potent engines by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people, and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.

Toward the preservation of your government and the permanency of your present happy state, it is requisite not only that you steadily discountenance irregular oppositions to its acknowledged authority, but also that you resist with care the spirit of innovation upon its principles, however specious the pretexts. One method of assault may be to effect in the forms of the Constitution alterations which will impair the energy of the system, and thus to undermine what can not be directly overthrown. In all the changes to which you may be invited remember that time and habit are at least as necessary to fix the true character of governments as of other human institutions; that experience is the surest standard by which to test the real tendency of the existing constitution of a country; the facility in changes upon the credit of mere hypothesis and opinion exposes to perpetual change, from the endless variety of hypothesis and opinion; and remember especially that for the efficient management of your common interests in a country so extensive as ours a government of as much vigor as is consistent with the perfect security of liberty is indispensable. Liberty itself will find in such a government, with powers properly distributed and adjusted, its surest guardian. It is, indeed, little else than a name where the government is too feeble to withstand the enterprises of faction, to confine each member of the society within the limits prescribed by the laws, and to maintain all in the secure and tranquil enjoyment of the rights of persons and property.
I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the state, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally………
……Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.
It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another; foments occasional riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passion. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.
There is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the government, and serve to keep live the spirit of liberty. This within certain limits is probably true; and in governments of monarchical cast patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party, but in those of the popular character, in governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose; and there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be by force of public opinion to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.
It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those intrusted with its administration to confirm themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power and proneness to abuse it which predominates in the human heart is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position. The necessity of reciprocal checks in the exercise of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depositories, and constituting each the guardian of the public weal against invasions by others, has been evinced by experiments ancient and modern, some of them in our country and under our own eyes. To preserve them must be as necessary as to institute them. If in the opinion of the people the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates, but let there be no change by usurpation; for though this in one instance may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit which the use can at any time yield.
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness - these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked, Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule indeed extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? Promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened.
As a very important source of strength and security, cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is to use it as sparingly as possible, avoiding occasions of expense by cultivating peace, but remembering also that timely disbursements to prepare for danger frequently prevent much greater disbursements to repel it; avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning occasions of expense, but by vigorous exertions in time of peace to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars have occasioned, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burden which we ourselves ought to bear.
The execution of these maxims belongs to your representatives; but it is necessary that public opinion should cooperate. To facilitate to them the performance of their duty it is essential that you should practically bear in mind that toward the payment of debts there must be revenue; that to have revenue there must be taxes; that no taxes can be devised which are not more or less inconvenient and unpleasant; that the intrinsic embarrassment inseparable from the selection of the proper objects (which is always a choice of difficulties), ought to be a decisive motive for a candid construction of the conduct of the government in making it, and for a spirit of acquiescence in the measures for obtaining revenue which the public exigencies may at any time dictate.
Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality enjoin this conduct, and can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and at no distant period a great nation to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence.

I was born in the 60s a couple of years after JFK was assassinated, and by the time I really knew what was going on , I saw Richard Nixon say goodbye to our Nation in the midst of Watergate, I saw Gerald Ford on TV Get shot at, and I saw Jimmy Carter weaken this Nation. As a teen I fell in love with Ronald Reagan’s ideas and wisdom and had the chance to vote for him in his second term, I saw George Bush Sr. take over the reigns of Ronald Reagan and promise no new taxes, and I saw Ross Perot help defeat him on his attempt to run for a second term. I saw Bill Clinton change this nation to what it is today, and take credit for a lot of things that Ronald Reagan did. And I have seen George W. Bush slowly age in office, and change some of his values and ideas, for the good of the country I do not know yet, none of us do.

The party of JFK died with him I believe, I read about the democratic party and see some of the things they have done, but JFK restored values to office, although he was not perfect, he I believe was a good man, and could have changed the democratic party and this nation if given the chance to lead a few more years. And I believe that the Republican Party died with Ronald Reagan. There are hardly any Conservatives on either side of the isle who are willing to speak the truth and stick to thier values. It seems that the politics of politics has taken our nation down a long and winding road, and we have lost our way. Folks want to talk about values, and say they are for things but really they are not, they want you to believe that they feel the same way you do, and want to change things and make it better, and create bills and laws that on the surface seem good but are paved with ideas to take away our rights one by one.

We are told what we want to hear and are shown what they want us to see, and blindly we follow. I am a conservative and my beliefs go deep, I write what is on my heart and try not to give lip service but take action, everything legal I can. Speak out, write our elected officials recruit people to stand up for their rights teach them so they know their rights and what they can and can’t do. I do not want the world to think as I do, I want to provoke ideas and thoughts and have us see why something is a good or bad idea that is how we all learn. I do not want people to tell me how I should feel or write or talk about or how I believe. I do not want to play the game The Politics of Politics.

How do you feel?

What are issues that are important to you?

What should we talk about?

What should we do to change course and get America back on track?
