Patriotism Is A Reality Of The Heart

michael spence — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 19:29:00 GMT

     I don't know why I am so patriotic. I sort of know, but it's hard to explain exactly why. The burning flame is in my heart and there is no way I could put it out even if I wanted to. I love it when I drive past a certain car dealership here in Las Vegas and see the Camp Pendleton headquarters' sized American flag waving in the wind. It's bigger than a house. I get choked up listening to the "Star Spangled Banner" being played at the high school football game and I am not the kind of person that wears emotions on their sleeve. I read books about the Founding Fathers and watch Patriotic movies and documentaries. I have visited nearly all of the historic sites in the country. I have seen the original copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. I have seen the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. They weren't just old buildings and old documents to me. They were fascinating to me. They are the tangible treasures that tell the story of America's greatness.

     Sure, I could say I love America because I'm American but that isn't enough for me. I was born an American and yes I love America for that reason, but everyone has pride and love for their homeland. If you take a look around the world and do your own research you see exactly why America is worth fighting for above any other place on earth. Even knowing that America is the best country on earth ever, still doesn't explain it though. People laugh at me because I spend alot of time thinking about it. Maybe they are right, maybe I do think too long and deeply about it, but I can't help it. I wrap myself in the flag always, not just when it's politically expedient or when it's popular. America is always popular in my eyes and there is nothing cliche about America to me. Defending America is defending God, family and freedom. America stands for all that is good and rejects all that is evil. We cannot forget this fact or refuse to believe that this status is as fragile as a newborn baby. In this day and age of evil in our political leadership, I feel all Americans including myself, have a profound duty to give all we can to preserve our country and way of life.

     I sometimes wish I could go back in time and tell all the Patriots at the founding that their actions have inspired the world for 200 plus years, and show them their creation as it is now. To shake their hands and tell them thank you. I would sit with George Washington and have a beer or whiskey he produced and show him his army as it is now. Washington didn't like to shake hands so I would have saluted him. Can you imagine sitting with Thomas Jefferson and getting his advice and insights on any philosophical subject. Picking his brain for knowledge would be indescribable. Imagine being there with Francis Scott Key in Baltimore harbor while the British were shelling Fort McHenry. I wish i could tell Lincoln that he is a personal hero for doing the hard things when it would have been alot easier to go the other route. These men became great because of their actions and love of America and are who I look up to for inspiration.

     There is no question that the founding generation was our greatest, but I also have great respect for the World War II generation. What they did to save our country and what they had to live through was rough to say the least. They endured The Great Depression as children, then as young adults fought a terrible, brutal war. No wonder the 1950's were the time of white picket fences and "Pleasantville". They couldn't take anymore bad. They did every thing they could to save and were happy for what they had and were able to work for. It's too bad that their children, the "Baby Boomers" turned out to be one of the worst generations to ever occupy space. My generation the X'ers and the next one the Y'ers are not much better. If any lesson is to be learned, it's that spoiling your children and concealing the hard knock lessons of life, produce spoiled brats that have no clue what it took to create what they take for granted. I feel if education doesn't work it will be tough reality and rock bottom misery that force Americans to wake up and realize how blessed they once were.

     Being a student of history fans the flames of love I have for this country. No other people have been free like we have for the amount of time we have. This freedom has created something that has never had an equal and probably never will. What we enjoy has been in peril since the founding. Presidents, Members of Congress as well as the Supreme Court in the past and present have tried to steal our freedoms. We have had to fight for them every step of the way. The allure of power especially for insecure leftists is all encompassing. Obama shows us this is his goal every time he does anything. He talks one way and does the exact opposite every time. He is going to push for a government health care take over no matter who he has to walk over or through to do it. He is going to take a political sword for it and doesn't care. That is evil and insane and it must be stopped. Obama doesn't love America, he hates America.

     "Why do you say these bad things about our President on your blog Michael?" Because it's true. If he truly loved America he would follow the will of the people. He will find out the hard way that he is a representative of the people not a ruler. George Bush would never have pushed anything through that 60% of Americans were against. He knew who he was there to serve. Obama doesn't care that the Constitution is his guideline, because he rejects the Constitution. Therefore, according to his actions I have to conclude that Obama is a power hungry narcissist and not an America loving Patriot. I don't forget that he refused until it was politically damaging to wear an American flag pin on his lapel or put his hand over his heart for the singing or playing of the National Anthem. I don't forget the campaign promises that turned into blatant lies. I won't forget his faithful supporters either. I will never watch NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN or MSNBC for anything except sports again. I reject anti-American rhetoric in any news or entertainment venue and refuse to finance supporters thereof. Obama and his allies remind me again of the past. History gives me insight because humans never change and Obama is dangerous if he gets anymore powerful.

     I have talked to hundreds if not thousands of people that tell me they are deeply afraid of the current government and their blatant power grab. People are starting to realize that the freedom we as a nation have enjoyed for two plus centuries is again in danger. We are not the first generation to have to fight for America. We must absolutely refuse to be the last. Every 40 or 50 years there is a new threat and this is it for us. The Tea Parties have shown me that there are millions of us that get it. The level of Patriotism in the past couple of years is more than I have seen in a long time. The democrat party has as I have said in the past become a symbol of socialism and government tyranny. This is a great sign that others are seeing what I have seen for ages. Also encouraging are the recent election results from some very leftist states. Our country needs us all. The time is now that every American must be introspective and do the right thing. True Patriots know that Patriotism is not a state of mind, it's a burning reality of the heart.

American Exceptionalism

michael spence — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 03:09:00 GMT

     American Exceptionalism is a fact, but it might sound arrogant to someone that doesn't understand why America is exceptional in the first place. Barack Obama is one of these people and loves to mock this fact. He doesn't believe America is exceptional any more than Sudan or Cambodia is exceptional. He doesn't want America to be exceptional. He has the typical leftist victim mentality that America became prosperous by stealing from the poor of the world. We all know this is a complete lie. His ilk claim we have stolen from others. We have never stolen, we have never invaded a country and permanently annexed it's land or stolen any foreign resources. However we have invaded and liberated the populations of countries from dictators. Every foreign resource we have ever acquired we have paid for and then some. Some countries we have invaded and liberated them, then helped them rebuild, and then became equal trading partners and purchased their products and resources.

     Do you think the Romans did that or the Mongols or the Arabs? They didn't, they conquered and took what they wanted at will. Even our best ally the UK, also known in the past as Great Britain, never did that. In fact Great Britain and the Netherlands were the countries that started the slave trade here before we were a country. Great Britain and the European powers were never liberators. They would colonize a country, subject it's citizens to martial law, then over years and years, extract their natural resources for their own financial gain. No other country in history has ever done what America has done. I don't understand how anyone could not see that America is exceptional now or compared to any other nation at any time in history. Some of my leftist colleagues like to repeat Obama. "We think we are exceptional like Greeks think Greece is exceptional". Then I counter with the question "what country is better than the United States of America to live in?" They certainly don't think Greece is better. Some say Canada some say France etc. but most of them have never visited those countries to see first hand even the cosmetic differences let alone the societal and governmental differences. Even if they had, they certainly would not want to move and leave America behind.

     You will never hear of boat loads of Americans washing up in Cuba or anywhere else, for their excellent health care and way of life. During the Cold War you didn't see American athletes defecting to Russia and China to live the good life. There are not large groups of Americans moving to other countries and setting up little America's in foreign cities. There might be the occasional retiree moving to Mexico to stretch the retirement dollars, or the occasional hippie or Hollywood actor moving to France but they give up alot more than they gain. Even Mexicans and Frenchmen will tell you that. I have been all over the world and when you mention you are from America their eyes light up. Even the people that do not like America are fascinated with it. The rest of the world apart from the leftists of the world are enamored with America. They all want to come here at least once in their lives. I would bet all of the money I have ever made that if a poll was taken of the rest of the inhabitants of the globe that aside from their home country, the vast majority of them would want to live in America. America is exceptional and we are made up of people from all over the earth. We have no special genetic advantage than others in the world. So, what is it that makes us exceptional? Let me explain, if you don't already know.

     America is exceptional for many reasons but the main reason is freedom. Our freedom is exceptional because our founding documents acknowledge that God gives us our freedoms. The Declaration of Independence written by Thomas Jefferson, eloquently but succinctly states that government cannot take away freedoms granted by God. This fact, hammered into the creation of our country, has allowed Americans and masses of immigrants the equal opportunity to achieve all they can achieve according to their own abilities and ingenuity. Freedom from government intrusion coupled with a free market society has made us the envy of the world. With that simple concept as our founding philosophy, we have achieved beyond anyone's wildest imaginations. We have created the highest standard of living any people have ever enjoyed. Our achievements in science and industry alone are legendary and we have only been here just under 234 years. The Chinese had dynasties that lasted for millennia and yet they have not advanced humanity more than America has. It wasn't that the Chinese couldn't have achieved what we have. They didn't because they didn't have the freedom we enjoy. If they had our government structure rather than feudal or communist rule they might have, but we will never know. Even now the Chinese are under Communist rule.

     "Ok Michael, so God gives us our freedoms. Why does that make us exceptional?" It makes us exceptional because in every other form of government your freedoms are given to you by the state and/or the majority. In the United States of America our freedoms stated in the Declaration of Independence cannot by law, be legislated or voted away. God given freedoms can only be taken by God whereas freedoms given by man can be taken by man. We have representatives not rulers. This little tidbit in the Declaration of Independence has allowed us to accomplish what we have. We have the freedom to enjoy all of the fruits of our labor. That is what motivates people to achieve. No one ever works as hard and long for a government or a collective as they would for themselves and their family. I have been to many foreign countries and none of them including Canada can come close to what we have here. We don't have all of the resources in the world but we have done better than anyone else with what we have and purchased what we didn't.

     The so called "poor" in this country live like the middle class in most countries in the world. What poor means in most countries is just that, without necessities to sustain life. The "poor" here are alot of times overweight, own televisions and telephones and can get free health care and free food from the government and/or a charity. We have shared our wealth with the less fortunate more than any other country and that charity has helped and saved the lives of many people all over the globe. We are always the first ones there in a tragedy or disaster and we always give the most. That anyone would hyphenate their nationality with an ancient country of origin makes me wonder if they know why their ancestors left the old country in the first place. Why would they chose America to come to? Why don't proud existing generations descended from immigrants move back to their ancient country of origin. The answer is simple. Their ancient countries of origin were not and continue to not be able to provide the opportunities for the quality of life we enjoy here. Anyone that says America is not exceptional is either ignorant or a hater or both. America will continue to be exceptional even if it means deporting all leftists to China.

The Tea Party Uprising Is Not In Peril

michael spence — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 02:05:00 GMT

     This past week I was watching television (FoxNews) or listening to the radio (Rush, Hannity or Levin) I can't remember which, but someone was stating that they were worried the Tea Party movement was without a solid leadership and direction. I don't know what the person was thinking when they said this, but they should not, and need not worry about the Tea Party movement. The so called "Tea Party" movement is not, and never should be a formal organization. It doesn't have a President and officers with meetings in minutes. The Tea Party movement is all of us. We are a very large group of Americans angry and fearful of the direction our federal government is leading us. The Tea Party movement is just a clever name slapped onto the millions of us. This movement does not need leadership because passion and conviction are truly what grass roots movements are all about. We are all the leaders. The whole thing started online and through word of mouth, then exploded. The fuel for the fire was there and getting together online first then in person was the spark. People had been angry for some time, motivated to have their voices heard, and were happy to know they were not alone, hence the Tea Parties that stormed the nation in spring and summer of 2009.

     The leftists in the democrat party would love to find anyway possible to diminish or split up what we have going. When ignoring it didn't work they started to attack it and now they are trying to counter and conquer it. Remember, they are the masters at divide and conquer. Any dirty trick you can think of will be tried, because as we all know, to the leftist the ends justify the means. I heard a rumor recently that someone is going to try to run a "Tea Party" candidate in the Senate race against Harry Reid here in Nevada. If they are truly "Tea Party" people, I would urge them not to waste their money, votes, or their time with a third party even one called the "Tea Party". Third parties never ever win, especially in federal races. However, I'd be willing to put money on the belief that this is a hoax. This is more than likely another clever back room Nevada deal between big money lobbyists and Harry Reid in an attempt to split the Conservative vote so corrupt ol' Harry can retain his seat. Nothing new for him. This sort of chicanery is more like tomfoolery now in this day and age when there are so many citizen journalists that hear all of the nasty details and tell the world online. Getting away with tricks is getting much harder as more and more people pay attention and question the status quo as well as the quid pro quo. Most of us are very informed people, but there are some that are not so informed and are caught up in the football game of politics. You know what I mean, Red state vs Blue state, donkey vs elephant etc.

     A political party is irrelevant in name, it is the ideology that counts not the temporary people representing the party. For example, President Gerald Ford was a Republican, but there is no way you could call him a Conservative in the same mold as Ronald Reagan, who was also a Republican. Just as you could never call Barack Obama a liberal in the same mold as John Kennedy. The political parties are just vehicles to political office. This is not say the parties are not important because they are important, we have to use them. My first interest in politics came during the 1980 election between Carter and Reagan. I was angry over our hostages being held in Iran for 444 days. Everyone else was angry as well and Reagan won in a landslide. What we got in that election was not only a resolution to the Iran hostage crisis, but the best Conservative since Lincoln. He showed us that leftists want control and the only way forward for America was Founding Fathers' style Conservatism. It was a blessing to be a Conservative in this time in history. I learned so very much from this great American. On the downside it has left me yearning for another leader of this caliber. There will never be another Ronald Reagan but we can come close and we can give the next one a better Congress to work with than what Reagan had.

     I can't say this enough to people, but in order to insure that we have quality Conservatives running in every race in the country, the local Conservatives must get involved in the local GOP and refuse to support RINO's. If you are a registered Republican, the local party is yours. Go there and take it from those that would give RINO's your money or speak for you. Vote these people out of their positions and fill the officer ranks with Conservatives only. It takes getting off the couch and attending the meetings. It can get boring and tedious with all of your regular day to day responsibilities, but the stakes are too high to let others take care of it for you. People are always asking me what they can do. I tell them to get down to the GOP Headquarters and make a difference, it's our country and way of life at stake. You might think that you cannot alone make a difference, but believe me when I say that you are not alone by any means. These local GOP offices are being reclaimed around the country. Years of neglect by Conservatives has brought us to this point. This year, finally 2010, is going to change all of that and be a house cleaning of RINO's and leftists in the GOP as well as the government of the like that no one alive has ever seen. The coming tsunami is enormous.

     This brings me back to the Tea Party movement, and the power it possesses. Many media elite as well as political elite despise the fact that ordinary hard working Americans can crush them with our numbers. This angers them more than our message. These people will do anything to destroy us. We know this upfront and given the anger and fear involved in this movement there is nothing they can do to stop it. We have and will continue to ignore the "pundits" and talking heads to forge ahead as we have for the past year. The looming spectre of Judgment Day 2010 is hanging in the air like the humidity in Louisiana. I say let the leftists sweat it out and continue to show just how devious and arrogant they truly are as they race around like rats trying to find a hole to crawl into. The leaders of our movement are "We The People" our platform is the Constitution of the United States of America as interpreted by the Founding Fathers and we get our providence from God. The media will never understand or acknowledge these principles because they reject them and the wisdom they hold. Nothing will make me happier than to see the leftist media announcing the landslide that is going to happen on Judgment Day. I want to see how smart Katie Couric, Chris Matthews and the rest of the dying press think they are after having their leftists dreams crushed. The watching of them announce it will be icing on the cake for me. That true satisfaction will be knowing that we have stopped the systematic destruction of our country. We will celebrate first, then we will immediately start to gear up for Judgment Day 2012. Yes I am counting chickens before they are hatched but these are American chickens and we never ever lose the important ones. Yippie-ki-yay!

The Miracle In Massachusetts Is Being Ignored

michael spence — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 04:05:00 GMT

     It's been a month since Scott Brown a Republican state Senator came out of nowhere and won the federal Senate seat that had previously been occupied by a Kennedy since 1952. If you had asked me to predict the outcome of this race 3 months ago, I would have confidently stated that a democrat mannequin could beat a resurrected Abraham Lincoln in that state. Massachusetts has been that far left for a long time, at least in federal elections. The last time a Republican won a senate race in Massachusetts was 1972. This win is incredibly significant in so many ways. The ramifications of this one election are going to be felt for many years and election cycles to come. January 19th, 2010 is going to go down in history as the day that the voice of all of America was channeled into one special election for a Senate seat.

     The Scott Brown win in Massachusetts was to everyone except the leftist political elite, a thunderclap of anger against the policies of President Obama and the democrat controlled Congress. You wouldn't know it by how they act now though, because they act to this day, like nothing ever happened. This doesn't surprise me in the least. These people are committed Marxists and will forge ahead no matter what. They were scheming before, during, and after this loss, on how to further their cause and minimize the damage. They are not going to take to heart the message that was sent by you and I and millions of other Americans this last year. They despise us and want nothing more than to permanently take control of us. Never ever forget that. I will say this until I die that we must continue to fight for our freedoms forever. We must always teach our children and anyone within earshot this truth. We are going to be constantly at war with the leftist ilk until the end of time. As long as there are insecure people that feel they are victims of society and deserve something from people that are self-confident, there will always be leftists trying to take what you have worked hard for, including your freedoms.

     I believe Obama was a God sent gift. Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean it "that" way. I meant it in the context that we have been rocked to sleep by leftists since Franklin Roosevelt, and Obama is the kick in the pants we all needed to make us think about what we really have here in this wonderful country. The leftists have been patient over time and have only nibbled away our freedoms slowly. Obama has shocked us all sober with an administration hell bent on getting the entire leftist wish list passed into law in record time, or at least as long as he had a filibuster proof Senate. This rush to turn America into something that we would never recognize has brought everyone out of a decades long funk. Obama came at the perfect time as well. The information age, where news on cable is 24/7 and accessible anywhere. We are also in a time where wireless phone service has given us instant communication. The internet is also a true God sent gift. Any information you have ever wanted to access to, is at your fingertips. The rapid access to information and the fear of losing our freedoms has created an enormous, pure, grass roots movement to shove back the leftist surge and move our country back to what the Founding Fathers envisioned. This would have never been possible this fast 15 years ago.

     What Scott Brown represents is a fear of losing everything our forefathers fought and died for. What Scott Brown's victory tells me is that people are learning that the leftists are liars. The leftists will tell you what you want to hear then ignore and diminish the Constitution. Obama is the epitome of the smiling, promising democrat politician that is going to solve all of your problems singing the populist tune, but turns out to be snake that is stalking your freedoms. My only hope is that this lesson is burned into our collective psyche for centuries. The Tea Party movement and the leftist reaction to it is responsible for this new age of enlightenment. Remember last summer when the elite left not only in government but in media and entertainment laughed at us and called us "Teabaggers"? Pretty funny until you lose your filibuster proof Senate majority. Judgment Day is coming for all of them and I am guessing that next Thanksgiving will not have alot of democrats giving thanks.

     Please do not let this one battle victory lull you into complacency. The leftists are hard at work pushing their agenda including refusing to let go of Obamacare. They still think we are stupid. If we stay focused and engaged we can be rid of most of them in 2010 and 2012. America is way too important to let be destroyed by evil. Do it for your children and their children and all that have fought and died for us. Just remember that George Washington. Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan are smiling on us in Heaven.

Conservatism Sells

michael spence — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 22:20:08 GMT

     I haven't seen the movie Avatar, and from what I have heard about it, I probably never will. I refuse to see a movie that puts our military in a bad light, period. More than one person has told me this movie portrays the military, particularly the Marines, as hired thugs that oppress native people for the purpose of exploitation by resource hungry Americans. I reject this premise and the people that made this movie. Our military is the best and most honorable in the history of the world and I refuse to hand my money over to see a movie that states or implies otherwise. I am so sick and tired of leftists telling lies about things they have no clue about. None of them have ever been in the military and none of them believe we have our freedoms because of the military. Evil from within, which are the leftists, must be defeated and their lies and insinuations like Avatar must be rebutted and not left to be undisputed. The movie from what I hear is a big hit but I believe that is due to the special effects and other aspects and not from it's underlying political message. Movies would be alot more fun for me if I were ignorant to the political jabs, but unfortunately I do not have the luxury of ignorant bliss. I can put up with some of that but I find myself less tolerant as time goes on. Hollywood keeps this up at it's own peril because sooner or later, like with leftist news, and alternative will emerge and crush them. I have a solution but not the means to accomplish it.

     Every Conservative I know can rattle off a list of actors that they will not pay to see because they are so blatantly anti-American. When I see American actors like Sean Penn and Danny Glover embracing leftist dictators like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro it instantly stops me from ever watching or paying to watch anything they are involved with artistically. It's not a boycott, it's simply funneling my discretionary entertainment money to actors that I believe are America lovers and not America haters. It's the same thing as if you had a bad experience with one car brand and a good experience with another. You are probably going to stick with the good experience and not go back to the bad. I wish I had the money and the know-how to create an alternative to Hollywood. What a success it would be. It would be a brand with a Conservative seal of approval that you could trust to be wholesome and fiercely loyal to God, Family, and America. Leftist Hollywood would wither and die with such an alternative. I propose a Conservative Hollywood if you will, located in a Conservative state, run and owned by Conservatives living the Conservative credo. Patriotic movies are what I want personally, and movies that are good for children and the whole family to see. Movies that point out American exceptionalism and promote it. Is that alot to ask for? I don't think it is. Most people do not want to see movies about people and their abhorrent lifestyles or anti-American movies or pot smoking movies. Very few of us want to see that, and no true Conservative wants to see that.

     It isn't just the movie business that the left has infiltrated and stained. Any venue or information source you can think of and the leftists are there trying to take over and turn them into outlets to convince people that Marxism re-labeled as "progressive" is the compassionate way to go. You name it, books, magazines, movies, television, newspapers, the internet, broadcast news, even school books are starting to spew their propaganda as fact. However, whenever there is a Conservative alternative, it destroys the leftist propaganda everytime. The FOXNews Channel is a shining example of this. I remember when FOXNews broadcast their first day because I was watching. It was incredible to finally get an alternative to all of the garbage that we all had been fed for decades. The cable news leader at the time was CNN and they were the Goliath to FOXNews' David. CNN is no longer the cable news leader, in fact some of FOX's one hour shows beat CNN's entire day for viewership. FOXNews is now rivaling the big three networks for news ratings. Something thought impossible not long ago. Ted Turner the former owner of CNN laughed when FOXNews was started and stated that CNN would crush them "like a bug". I guess he hasn't read the David and Goliath story. CNN is on it's death bed in the ratings and looking very much like the proverbial crushed bug. Rush Limbaugh is another shining, glorious example of how Conservatism sells.

     Rush Limbaugh entered talk radio post-Fairness Doctrine and has singlehandedly resurrected what was, for many years, a dead band of radio frequency. Not only did he revive talk radio but he created an entire wildly profitable industry that is absolutely dominated by Conservatives. Leftists have tried talk radio but have failed miserably. No one wants to hear that America sucks and class warfare is stylish. Rush on the other hand has millions listening to his show every day. He has a massive following that call themselves "Dittoheads" (ditto meaning Rush says what they are thinking and saying in their own lives). Rush has to be given credit for the radio careers of Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Roger Hedgecock, Rusty Humphries, Mike Gallagher and Laura Ingraham just to name a famous few, he created the genre. I personally listen to on average 5 to 7 hours of talk radio a day. My job allows for that of course. Talk radio and FOXNews have allowed for the Conservative point of view to be expressed in contrast to the leftist view and contrary to popular leftist belief and speak, Conservatives love to give leftists their say, so that you as the listener can compare the two. You'll never see that in a leftist controlled forum for obvious reasons. The media now has alternatives for Conservatives and of course they are under attack constantly but at least we have them. Thank God for Rush Limbaugh, Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes. Murdoch and Ailes are behind the creation of FOXNews.

     School books are what really disturb me. Revisionist history should be as criminal as lying to a Grand Jury. On top of that we are being forced to fund the leftist indoctrination of children and that makes me angrier than any of it. The destruction of federal control of education needs to happen. Most of the knowledge I have accumulated aside from advanced mathematics, has been self taught. Children would be better off being home schooled rather than be subjected to the public school bureaucracy and leftist indoctrination. Leftists cannot explain away the success of private and parochial schools in contrast to public schools in nearly every aspect. But then again they don't care about success they care about power. Education is the next mountain we must tackle. Vouchers and parental choice must be demanded. The Department of Education must be dissolved and the tax money we pay for that wasteful bureaucracy left in the states for local control. In spite of the government and the oppressive taxation we the people have created free market alternatives that destroy the public option in performance. Here in Nevada parochial and private schools are leaps and bounds above the performance of the public school system. If you pay for it for your family you are going to demand the best and expect the best. The government in Washington is the third party unaccounted for lead weight we have to drag around. They take our money before we see it then use it against us. We will win this battle too and not do it in secret but out in the open. It is the American way of freedom of choice and the triumph of our people over those that seek to rule us when they are supposed to represent us and look after our public assets.

     I am not Mormon but I love their commercials on television about family and the importance of being a good parent etc. Everytime I see one of them I think about an alternative to the entertainment industry that is full of sex, drugs and criminal violence and the glorification of them. I know something alternative and truly Conservative would be a hit. Look at the audience that FOXNews, Rush and Mel Gibson have tapped into. We are the majority in this country. It is incredible to me that a loud and aggressive few, the hard core leftists, have been able to hijack our country in nearly every aspect. Someone is going to tap into this market with an idea like this and become a billionaire. Think about Mel Gibson's "Passion Of The Christ". That movie was shunned by every major studio in California. Gibson then used his own money to finance the entire thing and a small distributor to distribute it. The movie ended up grossing more than 600 million worldwide when it was all said and done. Leftists hated it and did what they could to diminish it, but it's impact was huge. It was the 900 lb Gorilla in the room for them in 2004. We need more of that kind of movie, religious as well as true, non revisionist history movies. People would buy it just on the premise that it was certifiably clean family entertainment. Parents have too much to worry about in this world without having to screen entertainment or any other product for their family before consuming it.

     I try not to buy from companies that are aligned with the left. But it would be nice to have a conservative seal of approval from a reliable source so as to not have to do research everytime you purchase something or see a movie etc. That is going to happen someday soon because there is a market for it in our free market. Conservatism sells and sells big. Think about it.

2010 Patriots Defeat Marxist Democrats

michael spence — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 05:38:49 GMT

     Well here we are, it's 2010. "Judgment Day" for Congress is only 10 months away and the rats are already scurrying for cover ie; Byron Dorgan and Chris Dodd. They know that the exterminators are coming. Last year was an awful year and I'm not counting on this year being much better until November. The next 10 months are going to be alot of work. For me, it will be writing articles and continuing to involve myself with my own state Republican Party and the local Tea Party movement. This is on top of regular life duties, but I love every second of it, because I feel I am part of a movement that is going to save America from it's internal enemies. Everything we are doing is nothing compared to what the brave men and women of our military services are doing in Afghanistan. It is our duty to do the work here so they, the "Brave", have a "Home" to come back to. We will not let them down, because God and everyone else knows they have never let us down.

     This next election is one of the most important elections in our history and I know it goes without saying of course, but I am going to say it over and over again this year. We cannot forget, in the next ten months, that the Democrats want us to be a Marxist state controlled by them and that they have legislated to achieve that end. We cannot forget that government intervention into our lives on the scale that it even presently exists is intolerable and unconstitutional, and what the Democrats propose to do would send us on a path to complete destruction of everything that has been accomplished in the history of this country. I can't imagine what the Founding Fathers would think of the federal government as it operates now. I think Thomas Jefferson would be appalled by the encroachment of the federal government, on states and personal rights. James Madison the "Father of the Constitution" would be appalled at how phrases in the Constitution have been used seize the very power that the Constitution gives to We The People and the states. George Washington would be appalled by politicians pushing to be rulers rather than representatives. The Founders would not recognize this federal government. They went to war with England over less oppression than we are experiencing.

     We will not forget what happened in 2009 because it has frightened us to the core. I have never felt like this about our government in my life. I remember the feeling I got when I realized that despite a nearly 2 to 1 opposition to government health care that Congress was going to shove it down our throats and tell us we were going to get it anyway and that we should praise them for doing it. The Democrats attacked us and called us potential domestic terrorists. That frightens me to no end. That statement made by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security coupled with the power that the Democrats are hurriedly attempting to seize is a huge red flag for me. That kind of power would give them ultimate control over every aspect of economy, society, and our people. Possessing that kind of power ultimately leads to the suppression of dissent and that my fellow Americans is a totalitarian existence. Immediately, Thomas Jefferson and his quote about fearing government and tyranny came to my mind.

     "When the government fears the people there is liberty, When the people fear the government there is tyranny"

     Let that fear sink in and turn it into action. I have been informing everyone within earshot. We all must be the Paul Revere of our own area of influence. Make this last year's experience become a history textbook moment. Explain it to the ignorant and kick the laziness from the apathetic in your life. Teach your children how close we came to losing everything to tyrants like Obama, Reid and Pelosi. We MUST stay engaged with the same fervor that led 80 year old seniors to protest at Tea Parties. We must be the anti-NEA teachers for our children. We must get people to think logically and see the fear that we see. We cannot rest for one minute until the leftists are driven from government and our liberties restored. We must demand that the bureaucratic quagmire in Washington is dismantled and that all three branches of government are returned to the enumerated, not assumed powers, stated in the Constitution.

     We The People can turn this moment in history into a great moment in American history by turning a complete 180° direction course change from tyranny to liberty. The momentum and the overwhelming majority of Americans are on our side. The true Marxist/Alinsky leftists are a very small minority. "Well Michael if that is the truth then why are they in power?" They are in power because they lie very effectively and convincingly. They are masters of propaganda because they have to be to succeed. Conservatives do not need to use propaganda because we tell the truth and use logic not emotion to explain our points. We have the example of America to use as proof of the success of Conservative philosophy. They pretend to be like us but do not act like us when in power. Ben Nelson from Nebraska and Blanche Lincoln from Arkansas are two prime examples.

     "Democrat" is now a dirty word to me. It symbolizes anti-American thought and activities at this point in history. There is nothing "Patriotic" about the Democrat party whatsoever. In fact since the days of Woodrow Wilson the self proclaimed "progressive" Democrats have been nibbling away our freedoms and working toward complete control. Entitlement programs are the prime example. The Democrats emotionally pitch them and then enslave you to the government with the implementation of them and the mandatory taxation of everyone to support them. "How does that work?" Look at how many people depend on Social Security to sustain them in their retirement years. They have the seniors right where they want them. Let them have that control and they will have you where they want you too. "Well I don't count on Social Security anyway" Great, but you still had to pay into it. Wait until they mandate that you use the government services. Mandated health care is what they are forcing on us right now. You will go to jail if you don't buy their health care. So much for Obama's promise of you'll be able to keep what you have.

     If leftists honestly believe that Marxism is the best way to govern, then why not say that? Why not articulate your position and let the people decide? The reason they don't articulate their positions truthfully is because Marxism is not better for the people, it is better for them. The Soviet Union was a Marxist state. What happened to them you say? They ended up collapsing when the people finally had enough of the shortages in food and medicine and toilet paper and every other necessity that the government is charged with supplying in a Marxist system. The leftists hate our society and believe the only way to change it is to subjugate the population through government and change society by law and force. The example of this is the 4 or 5 states that allow gay marriage. All of these states have gay marriage because of politicians not the people of the state voted for it. Every time gay marriage is left to a vote it fails by a landslide. The leftists have been incrementally working on this takeover for decades and must be stopped. We are not going to allow that to happen and if it does there will be a civil war. However, that said, I know that Americans that elected Obama for the most part had no clue how radical he really was. This will teach them to not get caught in the hype and to do the necessary research before they pull the lever. I believe it was Plato that long ago, paraphrased by me, said "People that refuse to engage in politics are bound to be ruled by the inferior".

     Keep a sharp eye for leftist tricks. They will do anything to minimize the damage. Including changing laws then changing them back to help them politically. Chris Dodd a leftist crook Senator from Delaware is not going to run in November so that another Democrat that has a better reputation and a lead over Republican challengers can keep the seat for Democrats. Don't fall for this or let your family and peers fall for that. Democrats are all the same now, no matter what they tell you to their face. There is no "better" Democrat they are all liars. "How can you paint with such a broad brush?" Answer this question for yourself. Why would anyone that cares for the Constitution run for office representing a party that has pushed for Marxism? They have all been shown to follow the party line even after campaigning and promising to be Conservative on this issue or that issue. I do not and you should not trust them ever. They will lie to you every single time. Do not trust everyone just because they have an "R" after their name either. Arlen Specter, Colin Powell and Tom Ridge are examples of people with and "R" that lie and do the work of the devil with a "D" in their hearts. Make sure you do your research and make sure that your candidates are Conservatives and have always been Conservatives. Conservatism is the founding ideology. Conservatism is America.

     We have them on the run. Lets make sure the door hits them on the way out. Let's do this for our children and our grandchildren. Let's do this for the memory of the Founders and for all of the men and women that gave their lives to preserve our freedoms. Let's do this for America.

Infiltration And Indoctrination

michael spence — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 19:06:00 GMT

     The leftists, have infiltrated nearly every nook and cranny in America. Even the Republican party, the political party that is supposed to be Conservative must be purged of RINO's from time to time. It is a constant war that must be fought in order to preserve our rights guaranteed by God and the Constitution. Hollywood and the arts are always going to be flush with Che Guevara loving leftists, but my problem is that there is no other option than them. Public schools are populated with Marxist teachers trying to turn our children into the same America-hating heathens that they are. Granted there are exceptions as there are exceptions in Hollywood and the arts but the overwhelming majority of teachers and artists are leftists to some degree and control of the message is in their hands. We can always choose not to see a Hollywood movie that is overtly leftist, but anything to do with the government is forced upon us. Even if you send your children to a private school, you are bound by law to pay taxes to financially support the public school system that is indoctrinating every other child. Is that freedom to you? It isn't freedom to me!

     This has been happening for years in this country. The leftists feed on the ignorant and the apathetic like locusts. Misery loves company and they are recruiting people as fast as they can. Leftists like to think of themselves as intellectually superior and try to fool everyone with the act that politics and government are too complicated for the average American to understand. A complete lie that is perpetuated to make you think that they will do right by you at the time enslaving you to them. Think about how many people believe that the world is coming to an end if we keep driving SUV's. Al Gore said it himself that the polar ice caps would be completely melted in 5 years. So according to Al Gore in 2014 you will be able to sail to the North Pole. We all know that is also a lie, but leftists have no shame and a number of people believe this garbage. It's sad that I cannot go to a movie and not pick up some underlying message that America or the Military or the CIA is somehow responsible for every ill the planet has ever suffered. I want an alternative to that. I want the good versus evil movies but not where Americans are the villains, because we are not evil. Far from it. Where have all the cowboys gone? Where are the leaders and the men that stood up for what was right and demanded it? It has to be us or we will become the next footnote in history.

     The leftists, very quietly and very slowly over the last 100 years have gained control of and created bureaucracy that is very difficult to abolish. Take Social Security for example. Social Security was and still is a tax, plain and simple. More control over your money. I have no choice but to pay into Social Security and I probably will not see a dime of that money. Don't get me wrong, the people that receive Social Security for the most part paid into it their entire lives and deserve to get it back. The problem with a government entitlement like this is that the government did not save your money for you. They spent it, years ago. We, the workers and producers now are paying for it with funds that are supposed to be saved for us. The solution is for government to end mandatory enrollment into government entitlement programs and to stop spending the money. It's amazing to me the reactions I get when I tell my leftist friends this. They are so brainwashed into thinking that someone else is going to take care of you if you don't. That is a hard lesson to learn when you are retired past working age and broke.

     Everything the government provides for you must be taken with a hefty dose of skepticism and alternative preparedness. The fact that we are being stolen from on a bi-weekly basis by the IRS is criminal in the first place, let alone having money stolen in the guise that it is going to be given back in the future and squandered. Again I believe in paying my taxes and proudly do so when they are used for the duties of the government as declared in the Constitution, but I am more and more bitter about my taxes being stolen for bureaucracy and policy that I do not agree with and is used to strip us of our freedoms. Government has also been set up with a system of unions and civil service that virtually guarantees employment regardless of what you do. It takes an act of Congress to get fired from a government job. The heads of these departments are appointed and leave at the end of the presidential term so they really have no impact on the average worker there. Leftist workers and managers are entrenched in these places so even when a Conservative is elected President there is nothing they can do to purge them. Of course these workers and managers do their best to hamstring a Conservative President by leaking information for example and by being absolutely lazy and non-productive. Go to a federal government office with a problem you need to have resolved and 9 times out of 10 you are going to be angry when you leave. The system has to be brought back to the Constitution, because as it stands now the leftists and the bureaucrats have all of us by the throat.

     Obama and the Communist Congress are not being smart leftists. They are openly taking us to socialism with an eye on totalitarianism, providing us with evidence to show the doubters the contrast to the Constitution. In the past leftists were very sneaky, but not anymore. Obama came into office with some political capital but has overspent that by not fulfilling campaign promises to be different than what he was accusing Bush of being. Rather he is doing exactly what he accused Bush of doing. He has the full support of every bureaucrat and 90% of the media. That is another blessing in my opinion, because the media has always tried act like they were objective but are now showing their true leftist colors. The facade is finally being exposed for what it is and the ratings prove it. We know what the problem is and most of us always knew that there would be a tipping point where the lies and the truth would hit head on. This is it. We will also be provided with enormous political capital in the next two elections. What we demand be done with it will determine whether or not our children will continue to be indoctrinated by leftist teachers or whether illegal bureaucracies continue to exist.

     The American people also need to be slowly weaned from the many federal entitlement programs that now exist as well. I don't mean throwing grandmother in the street. I mean picking a year and children born that year will not have to be enrolled automatically in any federal entitlement. They will be free to choose where there money goes for their retirement. The states and the local governments will have control over social issues. This can happen. We can take the country back to where it was prosperous and free, but we have to demand it! We cannot allow leftists to control of government ever again. Politicians are like children, if you do not keep a close eye they are bound to get into trouble. When Conservatives regain power we must keep up the grassroots campaign to force them to live up to "OUR" expectations. We want government in Washington out of our lives. We demand that the government follow the Constitution and retract to that point. We are not going to put up with an institutional tyranny any longer, Infiltration and Indoctrination are going to end come Hell or high water.

The Dignity Is Lost On Obama

michael spence — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 01:53:00 GMT

     I don't know if any of you caught the Obama speech at the Brookings Institute, (a leftist think tank) it was a doozy. He was speaking to a very friendly crowd and the lies were flowing out of his mouth like Bill Clinton during Grand Jury testimony. The one thing that really annoys me about him beyond his radical Marxist agenda, is his lack of respect for the office of President. Over the previous 43 different administrations traditional protocol has been established and there are certain things you do not do. One of them is to bad mouth the previous administration in public. It is a political position but only 43 people have ever been President. (Yes it is 43, Grover Cleveland had two terms that were not consecutive and he is considered the 22nd and 24th President, Obama is the 44th). It is a very exclusive club and policy aside you do not want to be considered to have been a stain on that club, at least I wouldn't want to be. There are always surrogates that can surreptitiously voice your opinions without you having to.

     Most Presidents care about their legacy but Obama has broken that mold. Now that Obama is going to be considered a bane to the office, the other two living democrat former Presidents are following suit. Clinton's legacy was shot before he left office, but Carter despite having one of the most inept administrations ever was still considered a class act. Recently however he can no longer hold back and is showing his true unrefined far left colors and lack of respect for the office he once held. It is undignified to bad mouth your predecessor, but democrats have become emboldened and more and more radical as they can smell the health care bill passing. They hate being held back from being as crazy as they are by something as petty as protocol and etiquette. Forget about legacy, they could care less about legacy if they can get the leftist agenda advanced. The whole thing kind of saddens me because as a child I always looked up to the President. I remember thinking that the office of President was the zenith of accomplishments and only the most intelligent, capable and morally solid men would ever be able to get to that level. So much for childhood innocence and idealism.

     Another aspect of this is the stark contrast between President Bush and President Obama. President Bush never talked bad about Bill Clinton or his administration while in office. I don't think he did when he was campaigning in 2000 or 2004. It wasn't because he didn't want to point out that Clinton was an embarrassment to the office. He simply had the class to focus on what he would bring to the Presidency and not how much he could trash his predecessor. During his years in office he never lashed out at his vocal critics. He was quiet to the point that I think it hurt his presidency when lies were allowed to hang in the air with no response. President Bush was dignified in office and remains so to this day. It is also sad that society in general is not more appalled at the lack of dignity of our current President.

     To sit there and lie about something that everyone who pays attention for more than a fleeting second knows is a bald face lie, says alot about the man. He has been in office for almost a year and he still is blaming the Bush administration. The one thing Obama is going to learn is failure, because blaming Bush is only going to be able to be used for so long before there is a backlash. It is becoming very obvious that Conservatives were right about him and his radical ties, and what he had planned for us. I have no respect for Obama because to him the Presidency is a vehicle to become a ruler. I am different than a democrat though. If someone from another country trashes my President I would defend them and not let a foreigner talk bad about them. Even if they were trashing Obama. Americans can call them names but for a foreigner to do that is not appropriate to me as I would never trash their leaders.

     Obama himself is the exact opposite in that his job is to promote and stand up for America. He does neither rather goes overseas and trashes America and apologizes for us. It's embarrassing to me. At a time when we need a strong leader, we get an amateur community organizer. President Bush is a good man, a christian and a decent President and regardless of whether you agreed with his administration or not, he doesn't deserve to be trashed by a President. I didn't agree with a number of his policies but he never let me down by not being a dignified President. Obama is letting us all down in nearly every aspect. For all of the hype he has turned out to be an incredible mistake that I hope is burned into the minds of his regretful voters for life.

Hold Your Breath Exhaling Is Pollution

michael spence — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 03:00:00 GMT

     The hits just keep on a comin'. The EPA announced today that it was declaring CO2 a hazard to human health and that it was going to be regulated as such. Every week there is a new, bizarre announcement from the Obama government. In the face of cliff diving poll numbers the Obama administration and the Marxist Congress chug along implementing as much of the leftist wish list from the past 100 years as they can get done before they are all thrown out. I am incredulous at their blatant disregard for the will of the people, and when the majority of the American people figure out what they did today they will be incredulous as well. If Conservatives cannot take control of Congress or at least one of the two bodies of Congress next year we are in for bad times soon.

     "Global warming", "global cooling" and "man-made climate change" are all the same power grabbing lies that leftists have been spreading for years. No matter what man does we are still ants scurrying around on the jungle floor to the earth. We can affect local pollution levels but global climate change is way out of our realm. The sun is what controls our weather, not car or factory exhaust. The leftists are lying to all of us to steal our liberty and secure complete power. It all sounds like an Orwell novel but it's true, and you can prove it to yourself by reading their own words. Read Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" along with Karl Marx's "The Communist Manifesto" and you will see that Barack Obama and the Maxist Congress are following it step by Marxist step. The book explains propaganda techniques and what should be done in our system to seize control. Tyrants always publish their intentions then fulfill their prophecies in front of the noses of the people that should know better. We are in that place in our history right now.

     CO2 is not a hazard to our health. In fact CO2 is what we exhale and what plants need to produce Oxygen for us to breathe. We are all part of a big earth bio system that corrects and changes as it goes despite us. Nothing we do can hurt this planet long term. Even when we exploded dozens of nuclear and hydrogen bombs on the Pacific island of Bikini, life returned and radiation in the ocean was washed away. Nothing can stop mother nature. The fact that the EPA would declare CO2 hazardous to humans is simply too obvious a farce to be taken lightly. CO2 is hazardous to humans if that is all you have to breathe but then again so is oxygen. Water can be toxic if you drink too much of it, are they going to regulate water emissions? Like I said before, it is all part of the bigger "climate change" scam along with "cap & trade".

     This scam that will give them more power over private sector businesses. Factories will be restricted and taxed which will give them no choice but to charge more for services and products. The consumer is the one that is going to suffer and the government will blame it on business. See the pattern? It is happening as we speak. The leftists in government are blaming "BIG Insurance" and "BIG Oil" etc etc. They will villify them while stealing our freedoms. Before you know it we will have to ask the government permission to breathe and have to use one square of toilet paper per visit to the bathroom. This is no joke, and if we do not raise the alarm loud enough to overturn this government next year, America as we know it will quickly dissolve into something from a nightmare.

     I am not going to compare Obama to everything Hitler represents, but Hitler came to power through elections the same as Obama, and slowly grabbed power like Obama is attempting to do now. By the time the German people came around from their ignorant funk it was too late. Hitler was very incremental and slowly built his power until he controlled all of Germany one way or another. After that, there was no opposition left for fear of reprisal. Hitler was intimately involved in all aspects of the German economy. Remember every crazy leftist utterance by heart, because if they are left in power it will become law sooner or later. CO2 regulation is only the beginning, trust me. Stay tuned.

Abortion Is Disgusting Murder

michael spence — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:43:00 GMT

     My disgust of abortion is another "social issue" that has leftists and left leaning drones hating me, but I don't care. God forbid the world from turning if they can't murder another innocent American that should have the same rights as it's parents, but doesn't because it was conceived after a drunken one-nighter at the club. A mother with an unborn baby in the womb has the option to murder her own child because her "choice" to do so is elevated above the child's right to live according to the left. The sad part is that they were able to get the Supreme Court to vote their way in "Roe vs Wade". If you have ever had an abortion or seen video or pictures of an abortion proceedure you will understand what I mean. How any woman could do that to their own flesh and blood is beyond me.

     All of those people are going to have alot to answer to God for. It is the most disgusting, heart wrenching thing to know that a living baby was murdered and plopped out on a hospital pan like a tumor, then tossed in with the rest of the trash. Who has the right to do that? Who has the right to take a living human and end their life because they would have been inconvenient? Nobody does. Why don't the most innocent and vulnerable have an automatic right to a chance at life? It's a sick and twisted moral atmosphere we live in now, that's why. There are lots and lots of people who would love to have a baby but cannot conceive, yet they are denied the chance to raise that baby because a messed up girl or woman wants her baby dead rather than to have a chance at life with someone else to love them. What have we come to? Leftists think that criminal murderers, rapists and animals have more of a right to life than babies.

     The most fervent supporters of abortion are women and girls that have never ever actually had or witnessed an abortion, and also of course the leftist hardcore that want to destroy all that we hold dear, including life. Women and girls are fed lies about how the evil "right wing" want to take their rights away and make them die getting abortions in a back alley with a coat hanger. I have a better option. Don't become a slut and you won't have to worry about taking care of, or murdering a baby. In the days before the 60's moral disaster, having to get an abortion was attached with an enormous stigma. The shame that a family felt because their daughter had sex before marriage was enough to make anyone think twice. Shame is a good thing, the thought of shaming your family is even better, it keeps you balanced and moving forward not falling for the quick thrill but rather contemplating the future consequences of stupid actions. Leftists despise feeling ashamed about anything. They reject it, and their lives are chaotic and unhappy as a result. Leftists also reject God or the existence of God so they never have him to rely on when things are not going well for them or when they go home to suffer after having just murdered their own baby. God would give them a foundation for life. That would make them see that appreciating another human life allows you to truly appreciate your own.

     Science is the leftist God, unless of course the science doesn't go their way, then they make it up like "global warming". The problem with leftist scientists is that they think they are alot smarter than what they really are and it destroys their ability to be objective. Instead of trying to find out how things work, in their minds they already know, and work to convince people that theories that advance their leftist cause are "settled science". Well guess what, nothing is settled science, nothing. When they can definatively prove where life came from scientifically, and recreate it from scratch at will, only then will have they legitimacy. That will happen as fast as they can stop hurricanes and find bigfoot. Evolution is settled science to them and that cannot be proven no matter how many headlines that they have finally found the "missing link". They lie and don't have a problem with it. It all leads back to their theory that lightning struck a pond with chemicals in the right area and created life. Amazing isn't it. None of them were there to witness this or have ever been able to recreate it, but it's settled science to them nonetheless. Therefore, a baby is just a chemical reaction not a living breathing human with a soul.

     God creates life and only God can call life back to Heaven. Murderers are going to pay for doing what is God's right in the afterlife. I cannot condone in my mind the abortion of any life. However, I know there are situations that some deem necessary to abort a pregnancy in order to save the mother's life or the mental health of the mother as in the case of rape and incest. I cannot have children and cannot speculate as to what I would do or feel if I were a woman or girl in a rape or incest situation. The only advice I would give is to tell the victim to pray to God and he will let you know what to do. It should not be an automatic decision to end a life no matter how it was conceived. You never know what God has planned for that life, and if you truly have faith in God you know that he will not give you more than you can handle and he will decide. I know these are the sticking points in this whole argument even with God fearing Conservatives, but I can't imagine God condoning ending a life he created without his blessing and it would be wise to let him decide. If you are sincere in your faith, he will let you know what to do and take the burden from your shoulders.

     Politically, I have repeated over and over again that leftists want to destroy everything we would deem worthy to fight for. Their twisted minds believe that utopia would exist in a world where no one cares if the 50 year old neighbor impregnates your 12 year old daughter. They are sick people and they have chosen to pick this path for our entire country, whether you like it or not. The health care bill in whatever form it comes in is going to include government funded abortion. You can count on that. Who are they to use my money for something that I find morally reprehensible? They have no right to do that. Anyone that does not know or care to be involved, and does not see what the leftists have in mind for all of us, need to wake up and realize that sooner rather than later one of their boundaries will be crossed. I keep track of what is going on and anyone that reads this article keeps track of what is going on, and we are raising the alarm to as noisy a decibel as possible to wake up the ignorant and apathetic. If let go to their wishes, the left will have abortion as natural and accepted as drinking coffee in the morning, with all of us funding it. God is going to deal with evil in heaven and we have to stop the evil of abortion here on earth.

Sacrificing For America Has Been Hijacked

michael spence — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 14:25:00 GMT

     There used to be a time when sacrificing for the greater good was considered an honorable thing. There also used to be a time when you could walk down the street and every house had an American flag displayed. What happened to those times? Sacrificing for America was what you did naturally, just like sticking up for your siblings against neighborhood bullies. Sacrificing for America was never a question, now it is. Why? It's in question now because you don't know if you want to defend, the direction America is heading. No one thought things would get as skewed as they are. Society is now full of spoiled brats young and old that wouldn't know sacrifice if it slapped them in the face. Sacrificing for America now is pledging allegiance to Barack Obama and furthering the Marxist cause he has planned for this country. It's not mom and apple pie anymore. It's hookers and blow. It's not Norman Rockwell and John Wayne anymore. It's Larry Flynt and Sean Penn. Our society the way it is headed is not worth sacrificing for. A whole lot more needs to be done to correct the path we are on or we will end up a footnote in history.

     Please do not take this wrong. I am not saying America is not worth fighting for. I am bound by my own creed to defend America. I defend the America of George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Ronald Reagan. I defend the America that is spelled out in the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution. Millions of Americans sacrificed their time, money and sometimes alot more this past year protesting the evil that grips our country right now. If you are reading this you are sacrificing your time trying to educate yourself or to get a new or different perspective to combat the leftists you encounter. The people that put their hand over their heart when they hear the Star Spangled Banner, are the ones that understand what is going to happpen to America if we let it go down without a fight. Those people are sacrificing for all of us. It's not going to come to violence I hope, and we can assure that it doesn't by fighting back now and stopping the leftist democrats.

     The key is to educate people and point out that the democrat party of 2009 is not the democrat party of 1960.  The democrat leadership now wants to rule, not serve the country, and take us to a place devoid of the freedoms we have enjoyed for 233 years. These are the facts that must be taught to those that do not already know. Our time and money is what we will have to sacrifice which is alot better than sacrificing blood. The sacrifices that President Obama and Vice President Biden have in mind are paying more taxes so they can seize more of your liberties. They would love it also if you perpetuated the removal of your freedoms by working for criminal fronts like ACORN and the SEIU to commit voter fraud to try and rig elections and also to get more people dependent on government entitlements. The slavery of the 21st century.

     When the leftists talk about sacrificing for America, they mean help to destroy what we have built over the past 233 years and transform it into a depreciated quagmire run by guess who? That's right, leftist democrats. To the rank and file leftist its the idea of leftist utopia and the dream of peace and harmony, but to the leadership it is the dream of unmitigated rule. We all know the leftist utopia is not possible and leftist rule is not tolerable. Not on my watch is that going to happen. Not without a fight from me. America is the best country in the world because of the sacrifices of our ancestors, of blood, sweat and tears. To let it crumble is a slap in the face to anyone that died or lost the quality of their lives because they gave for America. Everyone in this country should go to Washington D.C. at least once in their lives. Not because of the White House or the Capitol Building or the Smithsonian etc, you should go to see the founding documents in the National Archives and then take a trip across the Potomac River to Arlington, Virginia and see the thousands that died keeping those documents salient. The people at Arlingtom sacrificed for America. They sacrificed everything they had or would ever have for America. Our honor would be gone if we allowed their efforts to be in vain.

     When I talk to people about this subject I usually get a strange look. Most people are not going to willingly sacrifice their lives for a concept or a flag, but Americans sacrifice for America not because of a flag but because of what America stands for. America stands for your family and God and the wonderful freedoms we have. America stands for victory in everything we put our minds to, and the best that the world has to offer. America stands for the opportunities that this country provides because we are a free people with a free market economy. You sacrifice and fight to preserve the right to drive your car when you want, or eat what you want and all the little things that we all have taken for granted for years. I am willing to sacrifice for America, but not for Obama's vision. Fighting Obama's vision, is sacrificing for America for me. He cannot fool all of us and we are the majority and we will be in the "super" majority when we complete the momumental task of educating everyone in America to what is going on. I will cherish that day in November of 2010 and again in 2012 when we will all be able to see the fruits of our labor and sacrifice. It is the least we could do for the ones that have sacrificed before us and the ones that are going to sacrifice after us.

Why Gay Marriage Isn't An Option

michael spence — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 23:20:23 GMT

     I abhor having to debate social issues like gay marriage. The reason why is that I see the bigger picture. I know that just like abortion, and pot smoking and a host of other issues, gay marriage is just another club leftists use to beat down and diminish what Americans consider dear to their hearts, and what has held our country together at the societal seams since the founding. The reason I hate to debate social issues is because the left has people so brainwashed into thinking that they are doing the good and decent thing, that the person you are trying to convince thinks you are way out of line at the very least or outright evil or racist, for having the opposite view in the first place. You end up having to first convince them you are not the devil, then you have to get them to think logically, and finally you can explain to them why you think the way you do. The process is long and very annoying depending on the combativeness of the brainwashed drone. Once you are able to explain why you feel the way you do and the logical reasoning behind how you feel, you can usually at the very least plant a seed in their thought process. It is the journey that is long, arduous, and most of the time futile.

     I first want to make it absolutely clear that I do not hate anyone, let alone gays. I do not wish them ill health or hell or any of a number of vile thoughts that leftists have created and attributed to Conservatives. I feel sorry for gays. I do not believe that there is a "gay gene" and that they are born gay. I believe that the state of being gay was caused by trauma suffered at an early age, particularly in the early developmental years between 2 and 5 yrs of age. This trauma could have been major trauma such as child abuse or sexual abuse or something as common as being yelled at by a parent or beat up by a sibling. Being gay is an acceptance of the feelings the person felt at the time of trauma. What I mean by this is that some people take a smack in the mouth by smacking the other person back or learning how and doing it later. Other people take a smack in the mouth and accept that they will always be smacked in the mouth, therefore they learn to exist and accept being in the bottom castes in their minds.

     The gay marriage movement has been propagated by gays that have yearned for the feeling of being accepted by everyone. It has to be "marriage" for them because it is not about attaining the same rights, but rather forcing everyone to accept their behavior as normal by law. I have no problem with two people doing what they want as consenting adults and being able to have the same rights legally for insurance, medical, death decisions and property dispersal etc. Two people can do that now legally without being a couple. It cannot be called "marriage" however, and you cannot force people to accept a behavior as normal by getting a law passed. Marriage was first established by God and recognized and sanctioned by the church. It is one of the holy sacraments. Governments later had to recognize marriage, and soon after found a way to tax it, ie; Marriage licenses. Marriage licenses are the sole reason government has a say in marriage at all. Some gays do not want gay marriage because they are happy with the niche they have created and do not want the spotlight on them. Gays for the most part are not happy people because of the baggage they carry from childhood, and the deep seeded insecurities they have. They also suffer for the fact that gay relationships never last because two insecure people can never form a solid foundation. Of course there are exceptions and yes lots of straight relationships do not last, but for the most part a gay relationship is fleeting. Individuals that are gay and want this are trying to create a positive in a completely negative atmosphere.

     Gay marriage by law for me would diminish what true marriage is. Marriage is the sacred loving bond between a man and a woman. A gift given to us by God so that we populate the earth and never be lonely without companionship. Gay marriage is not what God and nature intended, otherwise no one would ever be born. I cannot accept gay marriage according to my faith and I resent the fact that government could force me to accept it by law. Also no one ever thinks about the next assault on marriage, which would be polygamy and it is anyone's guess what else could be argued with the same arguments being used to propagate gay marriage. Gay marriage exists in 4 states as I write this article. Those states are New Hampshire, Iowa, Vermont and Massachusetts. All of those states were forced to accept gay marriage by law, not by vote but by extreme left politicians and judges. Everytime gay marriage has been put on a ballot in any state by referendum, it has been voted down, every single time. In California, home of the most extreme leftists in our country, the courts ruled in favor of gay marriage. In the next election voters were able to put the question on the ballot to change the Constitution of the State of California in order to stop judges from being able to make it legal again.

     "How does this have anything to do with politics?" Let me explain. Leftists love gay marriage because it is another way of destroying the foundations of society. If you read one of my first articles here "The Hardened Leftist" I explain that for the leftists in charge of the movement, destroying anything that we would be willing to fight for, will create an equal plane for everyone creating utopia on earth. I do mean everything you would fight for. Leftists want us to get to the point that we care about nothing including religion, family, private property etc. I know it sounds crazy but I am telling you the truth and if you read their own words eg; Saul Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals" and Karl Marx's "The Communist Manifesto" among the many, you see that they are deadly serious and that we must fight them to the end. They are also people that were traumatized somehow, but went headfirst into destroying what they deep down want to be accepted by. Actors and singers are the same type of people but they show it in art. All of them have troubled lives. If you look at the history of all of them, leftists, artists and gays, you see troubled lives. Some of them accumulate wealth beyond their wildest dreams and are still miserable and self destructive. Very few of these people could tell you the honest truth and say they were happy.

     Gay marriage and the reasons it has to be stopped can be explained to the girl in the office that believes that "gays have a right to be happy too". You just have to do it gently and let them know that you want the best for all people including gays, but not to the detriment of what makes the good of society, good.

Rush Limbaugh Is Not A Racist

michael spence — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 02:24:00 GMT

     I have grown tired of defending myself and other Conservatives from leftist attacks. Being called a racist is the most common and disgusting attack. Conservatism is rooted in basic "self-evident truths" eloquently displayed in our founding documents that unequivocally state all men are created equal. Equal opportunity must exist but not the guarantee of equal results. Not everyone is going to give 100% all of the time and reach their full potential. America is supposed to be the place where no matter what ethnic background you are from, you have an equal opportunity to be your best. The redistribution of wealth only angers the one that created it and enslaves the one who receives it. Conservatives live by a code of conduct and honor and it is an insult to me to be called a racist. To be a true Patriotic Conservative, there is no way that you could be a racist. I am sure that there are people that are racists that "claim" to be Conservatives, but we would never accept them as one of us. I have written extensively on this, and frankly I am sick of the subject. "So why are you writing about it again?" Good question.

     I still hear all kinds of people that never listen to Rush call him a racist. Of course there are the extreme leftist blogs that write vile things about him. The haters listen just to edit out a phrase to attack him with, then take what he said out of context or completely make a quote up. All of his loyal listeners have had to take flak from leftist people in their lives for listening to him. If those people would only listen themselves they would realize that he is the polar opposite of racist. Calling Rush racist is an emotional reaction to being charged up from propaganda that is false. Most Leftists come to their conclusions not from the security of knowledge that they have researched all sides of an issue and the history but from emotional insecurity of one form or another. Snap judgments are usually emotional reactions and usually wrong. The helplessness spawned by the insecurity in ones own abilities leads people to the leftist populism that promises revenge and retribution but never does deliver on the promised self esteem and security. I do feel sorry for leftists though because even if they had everything they think they wanted they would still be unhappy. Most supporters of the left do not realize that they support people that are going to drastically alter our way of life and make all of us, including them, subservient to the government. Everyone needs to rethink what they want and what implementation of all of their pet issues will mean to the existence and condition of our society.

     I feel sorry for Rush but I know what he would say, "You don't have to feel sorry for me, I let it roll off my back and continue on educating the masses at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies using skills on loan from God." Yes Rush is a big boy now and he has learned to deal with the constant barrage but it has to get annoying once in a while. I get annoyed alot, and I am no-where near as exposed as he is. The sad part is that Rush is not a racist but rather the exact opposite. He would say what I do, that as Conservatives we want everyone to reach their full potential with same opportunities using their own labor and brains. Everyone that has accomplished something wants to be able to say they did it on their own without a handout. It feels so much better that way than to receive a government check in the mail. Even toddlers want to do things on their own. It's human nature.

     The left wants to keep blacks, and every other group marginalized and locked into a victim mentality, then claim to be the saviors which in turn will keep them in power. If you believe that nothing you do will amount to anything because there is a secret racism lurking in every corner you are going to follow the people that play to your emotions. These are the people that hate Rush and hate that Rush points out the irony in every leftist argument including using the racism slur as a weapon. His call screener is Bo Snerdley a black man. Do you think an ignorant racist white man would hire a black man? It is slanderous to say he is racist and I felt the need to stick up for Rush Limbaugh. I cannot stand idle while the Left tries to make Conservatism and Rush Limbaugh synonymous with racism. It's the right thing to do. It's the Conservative way.

Obama And Holder Hate America

michael spence — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:58:00 GMT

     What else could it be? I find it very hard to believe that the two are stupid. Holder is not someone Obama picked up on the side of the road and offered the Office of Attorney General. He's a seasoned lawyer, in fact he has a conflict of interest when it comes to putting terrorists on trial, his law firm defended some of them. He knows better than to try the mastermind of 9/11 in a civilian court. So then why is he going to do it? Why did he go to Capitol Hill to defend this? I heard the audio of him stumbling over himself with no answers to very basic questions concerning this issue at the Senate. He didn't have an answer other than "to show the world that our system of law works" What the hell does that mean? Someone please write me and let me know because I can't figure that one out. As a matter of fact the number of enemy combatants captured in the field for "war crimes" and tried in civilian court in our history is zero. We have had 233 years of the most carefully fair jurisprudence the world has ever seen and he is going to be the first to try enemy war criminals in courts reserved for Americans. That is what he thinks of your rights as an American. Don't think for a second it is all Eric Holder either. Nothing happens this controversial in any executive cabinet that the President hasn't already approved. This is Obama's show and Eric Holder is a willing active participant. They both hate America and hate that you have the rights that you have. If it were up to them you would have no rights. Trust me on this.

     This entire fiasco is an incredible learning moment for anyone that doesn't have a clue but would like to understand. The majority of people I talk to seem to have no problem with this and that is sad. First and foremost these people are foreigners and do not deserve our rights given to us under the Constitution. If an American had been the mastermind of 9/11 they would get a trial in our courts with all of the rights guaranteed in the Constitution because they were American. A foreign enemy murderer of American civilians by all precedents is always tried by a military tribunal. Killing innocent civilians for the sake of terror is a war crime and not a civil crime. The Geneva convention, which the U.S. is a signatory, guarantees the terrorists are being treated properly with a fair military trial. They do not get American rights because they are not American. I keep hearing from leftists and liberals that this is ok because it will show the world that we have a fair and just system of justice. We do have a fair and just system of justice. The problem with putting terrorists on trial in civilian court is that the Marines and soldiers that captured them never ever have had to follow police rules. The military never gave the terrorists Miranda warnings because the terrorists were not American and the military has never ever had to do that. The chief terrorist of the group among others was water-boarded to get information from. Those techniques used to get information from them along with the lack of Miranda warnings are grounds for dismissal of the case in civilian court.

     If you don't think there are judges in the federal system that would throw the case out on a technicality you are mistaken. If that happens, then what? You can't retry them or you have double jeopardy issues. So then they have to be released according to U.S. law. Released where? Obama and Holder say not here, then where? The fact that there is a chance that these people could escape justice because Eric Holder wants to try them in civilian court is an outrage. Leftists and liberals who think that this is going to reflect good on us are stupid at best. In fact it is going to make us look like a banana republic, because by our civilian court laws the case should have been thrown out due to the lack of Miranda warnings and the water-boarding to extract information. Then if the case is thrown out or they are acquitted we have to let them go. If we don't we will look like hypocrites in the eyes of the world. Plus how fair is a civilian court trial with a predetermined outcome? What if the jury is full of sympathizers or leftists nuts that acquit them. It's not fair to the families of the 9/11 victims for terrorists to have a civilian court trial with the same Constitutional rights as their fallen family members.

     I cannot believe that there is not more of an outcry against this. Khalid Sheik Muhammad has already confessed and is proud of what he did. He wants to die and be martyred. A military trial would have granted him that immediately and without the lengthy appeals process in civilian court. Not to mention the enormous costs involved with trying them in New York and the incarceration and the appeals etc. Obama and Holder are not fit for the offices they currently hold. Neither of them seems to have a clue what they are doing other than following their leftist plan to the letter. Another tidbit in all of this is the right to discovery. Discovery is the right of the defense to view and investigate all of the evidence against them. This opens up top secret and classified material to the entire world. This will destroy our intelligence gathering capabilities because the defense will use anything to get their client acquitted. Including exposing methods of capturing them etc.

     No President in history would have done this. Obama and Holder are doing it for a reason. They are quickly trying to dismantle this country at every level and in every corner. They want to make the Bush administration look bad, which is foolish because Bush followed all the laws to the letter. How do I know this? If Bush had not, the leftists would already would have had all of them in court. This is just another example of leftists in control without any checks or balances. For the leftists it is just one more step to totalitarian socialism. Who are they to break the law of the Constitution? I wonder if Obama's hero Franklin Roosevelt would have tried Adolf Hitler in civilian court if we had captured him? The answer is no he wouldn't have. Roosevelt would have never taken the chance of a dismissal. People that are ignorant in this country need to stop drinking the Kool-Aid and start educating themselves. 2010 and 2012 cannot get here fast enough!

You Don't Need A Mammogram

michael spence — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:09:00 GMT

     This past week I heard that a panel of government scientists and doctors from the The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force had determined that women did not need to get mammograms on a yearly basis under 50 years old and after 50 only need a mammogram once every other year. I laughed when I heard that. I knew that was going to go over like a lead balloon. I have been sitting back waiting for the response and it is coming in fast and furious. I wonder how this sits with the pink crusaders on the left? I wonder how many women are putting 2 and 2 together now? I happen to personally know two women that are in remission from breast cancer and both are under 50 and one is under 40. Thank god they were checked earlier than 50 years old or they most likely wouldn't be alive today. Did you happen to get the name of the panel and who it is run by? "Government" would be the key word here. We have choices now. We can go and get mammograms or whatever else we want checked by picking up the phone and making an appointment with our personal doctors. The fact that some government panel tells us that mammograms are not needed doesn't affect any of us in the least right now. However, wait until we get that multi trillion dollar health care bill signed into law and up and running.

     If this isn't a wake up call to everyone, not just women, I don't know what will be. That is the way it will happen when government (an entity that does not produce anything) stamps out the competition of people that produce things. The government can set all the rules and will. When the federal government takes over health care for the leftists "single payer" system, there will be no recourse. There will be no other plan you can jump to because you might want to live a long life and happen to want a mammogram before you are 50. There will be some faceless "panel" that decides what health care you will get. If some government panel tells you that you that you cannot have a mammogram and you die before 50 from breast cancer, that is a "death panel". I don't think the supporters of government health care realize this, and if they do they are crazy. You also will not be able to sue the government because they are denying you care or care for a family member that would save their lives. Once you are dead it doesn't matter anyway, right?

     There is no way that a government that is bankrupting us right now with 12 trillion dollars in debt is going to be able to pay the health care costs of 300 million people with the same quality as we are accustomed to. It is not possible mathematically for government health care to work from the taxes of just the rich. Even to sustain a terrible government health care system it would take taxing all of us another double share of what they do now at the very least. Think about your taxes doubling and what that would do to you being able to eat and pay your mortgage and pay for Christmas and birthday presents. Forget about vacations and dining out at your favorite steakhouse or that new car or television you have been waiting to buy. The entitlements that the government is forcing us to bankroll now, the same ones that are all bankrupt, are making us work until May to pay for them in taxes. Imagine working over half the year just to give it to the government. The government being able to deliver proper health care is a myth, ask the women with breast cancer in the U.K.

     The lie that is government health care is being perpetuated by the very people that have already opted out of it. It will be irreversible once the bureaucracy is created. The Department of Energy and The Department of Education are two examples of bureaucracies created years ago to fix problems that continue to exist to this day with massive budgets. The problem is that they have never even come close to solving the problems they were created to solve in the first place, rather the problems are worse than before. Think about it, is public education good in this country? Are we energy independent yet? Freedom is the choice to pick your path and keep your property. The government is going to take that freedom away from the people that do not want to fund government health care and like their own insurance. How would you like it if a government official showed up and told you that you had to buy a certain car. Then they forced you to buy the car they picked, with your money, and if you refuse you go to jail. Everyone I know would start a revolution if that happened but some of those same people are happy to let the same government take their money and demand that they pay for and use government health care then jail you when you refuse.

     This is no joke, this is reality if the current government health care plan passes. The politicians that are doing this could care less about your health. This is about control, pure and simple. Let this happen and it won't be pretty I can assure you. Please tell all of your friends about this government recommendation and explain to them that these same faceless government panels will be the law when government takes over health care. No normal American that actually sits down and thinks about this wants this, especially when we could insure the actual number of 12 to 13 million chronically uninsured with tax breaks, tweaks to regulations, tax free health savings accounts and tort reform. A trillion dollar government health care fiasco will only mean disaster for us. Every woman and man should have felt the wind from that government shot across the bow. I hope the left leaning women stand up to this and forget loyalty to the left. Even they must see the storm that is going to hit them too.

Priorities After Judgment Day 2010

michael spence — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:08:00 GMT

     I think it is pretty safe to assume that the 2010 midterm elections are going to be a good for Conservative candidates. I am of course hoping that there isn't a democrat elected or re-elected in that election but I know that isn't going to happen. However, there is no reason we cannot take at least the House of Representatives and put a big dent in the Senate. Either way the leftists know that they must get everything they want passed between now and then. They will pull off every trick in the book to get their terrible agenda signed into law. We are doing the right thing now. We are protesting every step of this in numbers they have never seen from our side. The polls are on our side and politicians in safe areas before are seeing that they are extremely vulnerable now.

     I am extremely proud of the Republican leadership and the overwhelming majority of the rank and file Republicans in Congress. The few Republican RINO's that are voting like democrats are going to find out in a very rude manner, that they do not belong in our party. I cannot stress enough, the importance of Conservatives in blue states, getting involved in their local Republican party to insure the removal of RINO's by primary. It is essential to make sure that the contrast between the Republican candidate and the democrat candidate is very bold and very clear. The nomination of John McCain is the glaring example of how we lose when we put a RINO up against a democrat. This cannot happen again. Reject those that would sacrifice core Conservative principles for any reason. The next two elections are going to be landmark elections in our history, and could very well determine whether or not we survive as a nation.

     Everyone also must keep in mind that just taking the next election in big numbers is only going to stop the leftists from passing more legislation. The task at hand is enormous. Not only do we have to win overwhelmingly in the next two elections, we have to take control of both houses of Congress in order to overturn the damage they have done. Also, nothing is going to get overturned until Obama is voted out. He will veto anything that turns back his agenda and will also veto anything that comes from the Conservatives. A federal stalemate will be fine by me for two years. In order to advance we must keep the momentum powering along through the 2012 elections. I don't think that is a long time to fight when it means that we save the country from total collapse. The democrats were able to take over the Presidency and both houses of Congress in two elections and we are going to do the same. We will keep the fire on all politicians to do what they were sent there for.

     What I really feel good about is that many more people are paying attention now that never did before. I see it daily. We as politically knowledgeable people have to be the source of information for the ignorant. We have to be the people that make the leftists look like fools when they are spouting off lies. Leftists have gotten away with mouthing off without challenge forever. Not anymore. Never let them talk without challenging them. Always be the bigger person and treat them respectfully. Let them call you names and blame President Bush. Make them explain in detail what Bush did that was so bad and exactly what Obama is going to do and how it is going to work. Ask them why the "Stimulus" has not been very stimulating, rather things have spirlaled down since. I often ask them questions and make them explain in detail why their way is the best way. They cannot do that obviously because their way of solving problems is to make an emotional decision that never work. People on the sidelines pay attention to this and notice when you make sense. Arm yourself with logic and the Constitution and you will never lose. The worst thing to do is to let the leftists speak and not be challenged by logic. Point out the irony and hypocrisy of their arguments. It feels good to get the sideline people to think logically.

     The priorities for us after winning the 2010 elections is for one to keep the wave moving forward. We cannot allow politicians, even our own, to relax and not solve the problems they were sent there for. We must keep the tea-party uprising moving along until the federal government is returned to "We The People". We must press them to fix health care the right way, to close the borders, to stop deficit spending, to start the process of scaling back dependent entitlement programs and cutting the national debt to stabilize the dollar, to name a few. The issues are endless but I am going to explain them one by one here at The Patriot Journal. Anyone who reads this blog will know exactly what needs to be done to bring this country back from total disaster. Believe me when I say we are close to disaster. We can comeback from anything because we are hard working Americans but we can avoid having to comeback from total disaster by turning our political direction around. Ignorance is a sorry reason to have to endure infinitely more pain in the process.

     The Conservative uprising is proof that there are a majority of Americans that believe in the Constitution as interpreted by the Founding Fathers. These principles are the Founding Principles and they must be taught to everyone. The leftists have infiltrated every important aspect of our lives. The public education system must be abolished at the federal level. We cannot allow leftists from California and Massachusetts to determine what must be taught in a school in Texas or Alaska or any other state. The federal government has overstepped it's authority in this respect and the leftists have used it to indoctrinate and dumb down our children. We should not be forced to bankroll a system that is for one a complete failure and two teaching falsehoods and leftist principles. I do not want children learning about sex in school or alternative lifestyles. Education is a big one but the financial shape we are in must be the first priority addressed. There is no reason after 2010 that any deficit spending happens. I don't care if they have to shut the parks down and work by candlelight in Washington. There had better not be one dime spent in deficit after we take control.

     These are like I said just a few important issues, but as you can see we have alot of work ahead of us. Remember that they work for us with OUR money! They are not allowed to put us into bankruptcy. After 2010 we will have more politicians that listen and think like we do but we are the ones that have to keep track and make sure that they are getting done what we want done. 2010 will be an election that gives us back a roadblock for the leftists. 2012 will give us back power, but we have to keep going between now and then. After 2012 we will, if we have the right people in office, be able to repeal the leftist agenda and put forth a return to the Founding Principles. Even after 2012 if everything goes right we must make sure that the Founders agenda is restored. I feel good about the future because I know that I have millions upon millions of fellow Patriots fighting next to me. Our priorities are clear, it is up to us to get it done.

We Will Make The Democrats Pay

michael spence — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:55:00 GMT

     Amazingly after all the polls and all of the Tea Parties and the million plus march on Washington, the Democrats are still going to jam government health care down our throats. This is a bill that is not only going to bankrupt the treasury, but in the meantime it is going to give us what the British, the Canadians and many other countries already have, terrible health care. Not to mention that we are going to be taxed like we have never been taxed before. This is no joke. This is going to be a lifestyle killer in a huge way. I know I don't have to remind the readers of this blog about the spectre of this, however we all need to be reminded that if a battle is lost it does not mean the war is lost and we all have to be ready for the long haul. Other Patriots are counting on us, even the unborn but already in debt Patriots are counting on us.

     For every action there is a reaction. For this betrayal of all Americans and the supreme law of the land, the Constitution, there must be sledgehammer backlash. Every Democrat in the Senate and the House along with every RINO in both Houses must be voted out of office. I know that is not going to happen in certain districts that are full of government dependents, but even they must have serious Conservative challengers. Every Republican candidate in 2010 and 2012 must first be Conservative. We cannot have more Arlen Specter's in our party. You know, the one with an "R" next to their names but somehow seem to vote "D" every time. We have been lazy for too long in our own districts. Somehow I don't see that being a problem in the next couple of elections and that is a good thing. The momentum is on our side. We just have to be involved in our local Republican Parties.

     I have written many times about the exact same thing that happened in New York's 23rd District. The old party bosses decided on Scazzofava for a reason and it wasn't Conservatism or anything traditionally Republican. Something about power corrupts the best of people and the people that have power too long never seem to want to give it up. Ted Kennedy was on his death bed and was still trying to manipulate the manor in which he was going to be replaced. It's sickening to think about, but like i say it has been happening for years and years and they are now going too far with our liberties. This next year is going to be one long campaign. This is the best time to get involved with your local party headquarters and have your say in how your money is spent and who is going to represent us. That didn't happen in 2008 and that is why we got a RINO for a Presidential candidate. That is not going to happen next year and in 2012. It is not going to happen!

     We are not going to let a couple of big money people manipulate what happens to us in government. The Democrats are slimy deviants when it comes to this sort of thing. Like I have written before, the means are always justified for the end result to them. Lying, cheating and stealing never bother Leftists and now the entire Democrat party, as long as they get their way which is power. Obama lies every day on television and smiles as he is doing it. He'll tell you the sky is red and not care that everyone else sees blue. Government health care creates more dependents, illegal aliens that are given amnesty also gives them more dependents and that gives them lots more power. Woodrow Wilson started it with the Federal Reserve and Franklin Roosevelt kicked the dependent class into high gear with Social Security. Then Lyndon Johnson helped create more dependents with Medicaid and Medicare. What would most seniors do without it? It's all going to collapse someday, it doesn't take a rocket scientist or math genius to figure that out. We cannot allow it to go any further or we will go to the grave after giving our children a mess that only an armed revolution will solve.

     After we find suitable candidates we need to make sure that they are going to articulate their ideas. Which will be Conservative ideas. We cannot whisper quietly that tort reform, portability and health savings accounts are the answer. We must shout out loud our ideas and then articulate them to the masses and not be secretive like the Democrats. We must hammer the leftists and call them the liars that they are. Joe Wilson is a hero for his honesty. Barack Obama has no problem lying everyday on television and our candidates have to point that out. The time for reaching a hand out across the aisle is over, long over. The "My dear friend Senator or Congressman Leftist" crap is over for good. We have been sucker punched too many times. We cannot nominate candidates that are going to get flustered or cave in when the leftists start screaming lies either. The "No Blood for Oil" garbage and the "Global Warming" hoax must be exposed by the top leaders and to the faces of the liars in Congress. In other words we cannot have wimps or RINO's. Ronald Reagan destroyed leftists with great articulation of our simple principles. We must emulate him.

     We need to treat the Democrats like they have treated us. This group of leftists running the government are the epitome of the arrogant radical communists that our grandparents would have shot on sight. We simply need to take their power away and tell them and their ilk to "shut up" when they squawk. Especially when they lie through their teeth and spout out whatever incredible number of uninsured or dying in our streets etc, etc. They were easily ignored before, but we cannot ignore them anymore. More importantly we must demand that our candidates do not ignore them but rather stand up to them and call them out on their lies. We have to be leaders. The apathetic and the ignorant follow the leaders. Leftists are not the leaders they are the thieves.

     I have great expectations for America in November of 2010 and again in 2012. We will get this turned around but we have to hammer them every chance we get until then. I want the Democrats to be weary from our constant pounding on them not the other way around. I stand up to the leftists and the followers of them everywhere I go. I am never ever afraid to make them look like fools when they spout off about things they have no clue about. Turning the other cheek in politics will get your head chopped off. We have to hammer them hard. Judgement Day 2010 is going to be disasterous if you have a "D" after your name. Get ready for 2010 it's going to be a party on November 3rd!

The Letter And The Spirit Of The Law

michael spence — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:28:00 GMT

     Interpretation can be a tricky art. It happens everyday at work, at home and anywhere else where humans make contact and speak to one another. Something is said and most of the time everyone in earshot understands what is meant. However there are those times when something is said and each and every one believes something different was meant. It can be an occasional problem between spouses but that is a different article altogether. Interpreting something someone said in person is light years different from interpreting written words. The only way to properly interpret written words is to have more than one source to properly extract exactly what was meant from what was said. If it is a children's book no one cares but if it is an important document, say the Bible or the Constitution of the United States of America then you must have some cross referencing sources.

     Interpretation is so important because if what was written is law, it was written for a reason, and through the prism of experiences of the people that wrote it. In the case of the Constitution it was written for a nation to last forever. This is called the "Spirit of the Law". "Spirit" meaning what the authors actually meant by the words. Problems arise when the letter of the law is only practiced and the spirit of the law is ignored. "Thou shalt not kill" is very blunt. How could you possibly extrapolate anything other than do not kill out of that? Well as we all know killing is not always murder. Killing in self defense is allowed. Killing by accident is not always a culpable offense. Do you see how someone could take the 5th Commandment and complicate it? Lawyers do this for a living. Bill Clinton was able to complicate the single word "is". The parsing of words to get a desired outcome, is older than prostitution.

     The Second Amendment seems to be the eternal target of the left and I know why. It's not because they do not know the "spirit of the law" of the Second Amendment. They know what the Founding Fathers meant. The leftists want to change it from it's intended meaning to an alternate meaning in order to deny all of us the right to bear arms. Here are the actual letters of the law of the Second Amendment:

     "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

     It says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed and that is what they meant. The leftists say that only the military should keep and bear arms because the military is the Militia and they say also that the not only does it mean the military but because it says "well regulated Militia" it absolutely means just the "regulated" military. The only problem with the leftist lawyer argument is that nagging phrase "the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms".

     To properly understand what the Second Amendment means in it's entirety, you have to understand the circumstances and motivations of the people that wrote it. In the late 1700's when the Declaration of Independence was written, we didn't have the US Army or the Navy or the Marine Corps. General George Washington put together an army of Patriotic civilian volunteers. In fact, after the Revolutionary War all of the Army disbanded and went home. Very few of these men had any military training and considering this, it is a miracle they won. They won because along the way they learned military protocol and wanted to win more than the British troops. A well regulated Militia would have to have people that knew how to shoot straight and load fast. They would also have to be able to assemble quickly and know proper military protocol.

     The Second Amendment was written because the Founders hated tyranny and never wanted a central government in the U.S. to be able to subdue us by lawfully taking away our only means to crush tyranny, firearms. The Founders also did not envision the enormous standing army we now keep. However the law applies today as it did back then. Our only means of defeating a tyrannical government would be with firearms. The Founders believed that if it became necessary to again raise an army, the leaders of the time would gather up volunteer civilians and their firearms and go forward. There exists plenty of official and personal writing examples that prove that they intended for all law abiding citizens to have the right to keep and bear arms.

     The Constitution has been twisted by the leftists and now we have the problems that the Founders warned us about. The only way to stop them is to point out to everybody we run into that what is going on today will have a dramatic affect on the future of our country. We continue as the greatest country on earth or we retreat into the dustbin of history on the letter or the spirit of the law, the Constitution.
