I just visited the Vietnam War Memorial here in our Capitol. 58,000 names on the Wall. How can this administration and it's followers so carelessly endanger everything that these men died for?
How could WE allow them to endanger it?
We have to become ACTIVE, we have to insist that our VOICES be heard, we have to INSIST on change, and we have to do all of this in numbers that have never been united with one single voice before. True "Shock and Awe"!!!!!
I love MY country!!!!!!

IN DC!!
1:40 in the morning here in our Nation's Capitol - and I can't sleep because I am SOOOOOO excited about marching down Pennsylvania Avenue in about 9 hours!!!!

EnRoute to DC. .....
GREAT NEWS!!! On my way to DC today, I got a call from a friend who decided at the last minute that he HAD to go too!!! So, I am waiting for him to catch up with me so we can park his car and head the rest of the way together!!!
What 9/12 is all about....
The 9/12Project is simply a group of Patriots that refuse to forget the feeling of pride, love, compassion, and unity that we all felt when we woke up the day after 9/11/2001. Do you remember how you felt? I do. And, unlike the Obamas, I was proud to be an American (remember, they said that, after Obama was elected , it was the first time in their lives they felt proud to be Americans - their words, not mine).
Today, I am headed out to show unity with others who feel the way I do, by marching on the US Capitol tomorrow. Although there are always a certain amount of crazies at any demonstration, the root of this movement is not that of the radical Right, or the radical Left. It is about Common Sense. Less Government. Less Taxes. Less Bail-outs. Less wasteful spending. Less "Washington as Usual". More "By the people". We seem to have forgotten who works for whom in this country.
If you cannot make it, please take a minute to catch some of the coverage on TV. Or, more importantly, take some time to reflect on how you felt that morning after 9/11. Did you run out and buy a flag and then not replace it a couple of years later when it wore out? Did you commit to not allowing the government to leave us that vulnerable again and then vote for "change" based on popularity? Or did you not sleep at night, cry real tears, and still find yourself with goose bumps 8 years later when you hear Alan Jackson sing "Where Were You When The World Stop Turning"???
I love this country. I refuse to let these Socialists take it from my kids.
I will try to BLOG a bit while I am at the rally - no promises though. It's hard to text while you are waving a flag!!!

Why does the richest country in the world still have poor people?
The single scariest quote I have heard since we entered the "Era of B.O." (yes, B.O. is short for Barack Obama, immature I know - I just can't help it) is from a woman at a B.O. rally that, scarily, represents the mindset of the majority of B.O. "followers". This pathetic excuse for an American, Peggy Joseph, actually said, and yes this is a quote, “I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage”.
So what does this have to do with my subject? As always, the issues go far deeper than the surface. The CULTURE is shifting. This woman's statement is a microcosm of the world B.O. would build if he were The Architect. In his self-absorbed mind, Obama truly believes the world will be better if there were NO separation in classes. No rich. No poor. He truly believes this. (Himself excluded, of course!)
This COMPLETELY goes against human nature though. Remember the slogan "Keeping up with the Jones'"? That mindset is so bred into our blood that we even let it be the cause of the current recession we are in. Having more, more, more has become so important to us that we are addicted to it. We truly do not know when to say "when". Bigger house, nicer car, more "stuff". It is why we are in the financial situation we are in. It is also why we will recover from this eventually and why we will be here again someday.
So if the desire to "move up a class level" is what causes our demise every few decades, why do we keep doing it? Why don't we embrace Socialism? That would make EVERYONE "the Jones'". We would ALL have the same house, the same car, the same "stuff". There would never be a recession because supply and demand would be stabilized and would remain completely predictable, indefinitely. Sounds great, right?
Never going to happen. We are too greedy. We are not willing to make the sacrifices it takes to live this way - UNIVERSALLY. Remember, we would ALL be EXACTLY the same. Drones. Robots. Humanless. We do not have it in us. We are entirely too competitive. No matter where "average" is established on the income totem-pole, there will always be those who want more - and that are actually willing and capable of doing what it takes to "get ahead". There will also always be those that say "I would give ANYTHING to play golf like Tiger Woods", but don't EVER give real consideration to the sacrifice and ability it takes to be able to golf like Tiger. Tiger EARNS every million he makes.
My all-time favorite is the person who complains non-stop about how tight they are on money and how evil those money-grubbing companies are that are making a fortune by over-charging them for the gas they put in their entirely-too-big-SUV, the rising costs of cigarettes, junk food, and alcohol ...... all while they eat their $10 burger and talk about how they wish they could lose 40-50 pounds.
Did you catch how many things are wrong with that description? Did you really? THAT is why there will always be poor people in the richest country in the world. Some people wish they could have others pay for their mortgage and gas while others would never dream of taking a single dime that they didn't EARN. "Classes" are inevitable in a Capitolist nation. Quit fighting it so much and spend that energy doing the things that rich people do - like WORKING, SACRIFICING, and SAVING THEIR MONEY!!
If you want more, shut up and go EARN IT. Leave me and my stuff alone. I pay taxes and give to charitable donations WILLINGLY. Please do not take my hard-earned money from my children and from the charitable organizations of my choice by taxing me to the point that I don't have a dime left-over. Stop Obama and his socialist inner-circle and his "followers". Contact your congressman and VOTE for CAPITOLISM in 2010!!
