FREEDOM is not a Gift.
FREEDOM is a Process of Education,
Action,and at times Standing your ground.
I will try to keep you Informed
I may even Call you to Action
But only you know if Your
FREEDOM is worth the Fight!

545 vs. 300,000,000 People -By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create
problems and then campaign against them. Have you
ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans
are against deficits,
WHY do we have deficits?Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are
against inflation and high taxes,
WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?You and I don't propose a federal budget.
The President does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority
to vote on appropriations.
The House of Representatives does.You and I don't write the tax code,
Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy,
Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy,
the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President,
and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings
out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually
responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because
that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress
delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to
a federally chartered, but private, central bank.I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.
They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator,
a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing.
I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.
The politician has the power to accept or reject it.
No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's
responsibility to determine how he votes.Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you
that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common
con regardless of party.What separates a politician from a normal human being is an
excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have
the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President
for creating deficits.
The President can only propose a budget.
He cannot force the Congress to accept it.The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land,
gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for
originating and approving appropriations and taxes.
Who is the speaker of the House? John Boehner.
He is the leader of the majority party.
He and fellow House members, not the President,can
approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it,
they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot
replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts --
of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single
domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.
When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise
the power of the federal government, then it must follow that
what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's
because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ..
If they do not receive social security but are on an
elite retirement plan not available to the people,
it's because they want it that way.There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats,
whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists,
whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators,
to whom they give the power to regulate and
from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists
disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics"
that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people
who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to
manage their own employees...We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.

NO NO NO NO
A friend of mine sent me a video last week
and as I watched it, it occurred to me that
every Congressman/women need to have
to watch this video everyday before they go
about the peoples business. Maybe then they
will get the message NO NO NO NO NO!!

Iowa Republican debate: Winners and losers
WINNERS
* Michele Bachmann: Bachmann is an underrated —
or maybe just overlooked — debater. Since a lull in
the early fall, she’s been very solid in these forums,
and put together a strong performance tonight.
For second tier candidates — like Bachmann —
debates are about fighting for air time and drawing
contrasts with the frontrunners. She did both.
Bachmann slammed Texas Rep. Ron Paul for his
position on Iran and hammered Gingrich for taking
money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
She also was forceful — and effective — when she
lashed out at Gingrich for repeatedly acting
dismissively toward her. A nice night for Bachmann.

We Shouldn’t Really Be Surprised When A Bureaucrat....
On Dec. 1, the story broke that Bethesda, Maryland-based
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where wounded veterans convalesce, apparently had banned visitors from bringing in Bibles or other religious items.
Walter Reed Chief of Staff C.W. Callahan issued a memo in September which said:
"No religious items (i.e. Bibles, reading material, and/or artifacts) are allowed
to be given away or used during a visit."
Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican, savaged the Obama Administration on the floor
of the House, saying, "The President of the United States should address this and
should excoriate the people who brought about this policy and the individual who
brought it about should be dismissed from the United States Military."
Yes, telling wounded soldiers and their families that their First Amendment
freedoms have been suspended should be a firing offense.
Rep. King, who serves on the House Subcommittee on the Constitution,
conveyed the gravity:
"The idea that these soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines that have fought
to defend our Constitution, and that includes our First Amendment rights
to religious liberty –would be denied that religious liberty when they are
lying in a hospital bed recovering from wounds incurred while defending that
liberty is the most bitter and offensive type of an irony that I can think of."
The policy was rescinded, but that it happened at all is a reminder of the culture
that Mr. Obama has fostered in the armed forces and executive agencies, where
extreme environmentalism, moral relativism, and sexual immorality have replaced traditional American values.
We shouldn’t really be surprised when a bureaucrat tries to bar Bibles in a
U.S. military stateside hospital while other bureaucrats make sure that
terrorists in Guantanamo Bay get copies of the Koran.
Announcing an end to the rule, Walter Reed public affairs officer Sandy Dean
said that a new policy "will be written to articulate our initial intention which
was to respect religious and cultural practices of our patients." Say what?
Dean went on to insist that the policy was "in no way meant to prohibit
family members from providing religious items to their loved ones at all."
Here’s more from the hapless Dean:
"We appreciate Congressman King bringing this to our attention.
We don’t want our instructions to be ambiguous."
Ambiguity is not the problem.
It’s the Obama Administration’s hostility to religion, except for Islam.
From the prevarications that helped sell Obamacare, to the lies surrounding
Fast and Furious, to the periodic emissions of horse pucky about Obama’s
“evolving” view of marriage while he’s sabotaging the Defense of Marriage Act,
it’s getting so bad that Obama Administration spokespeople really should
consider donning Groucho noses, glasses and mustaches.
That would help disguise them, at least, and pave their way to enter the
Witness Protection Program.
Should it be necessary to explain why wounded soldiers who risked their lives
be allowed to receive Bibles from their families?

We’re Going To Use Foreign Aid Money To Promote........
Hillary Clinton’s speech in Geneva on Dec. 6 announcing that
American taxpayers will be paying for homosexual activism
around the world through a $3 million Global Equality Fund.
That’s right. In a time when the United States is facing massive debt,
plus a rising China and militant Islam, we’re going to use foreign aid
money to promote “gay rights” to the world.
Speaking to a crowd of diplomats, many of whom do not equate race
or ethnicity with volitional sexual behavior that has moral implications,
Clinton urged everyone to come around to her point of view, while saying,
"I come here before you with respect, understanding, and humility."
(Now do what I tell you.)
Once upon a time, foreign aid was allocated as an incentive for other nations
to support the interests and security of the United States. Countries did not
get the money if they worked with our enemies.
But now, under leftwing Democrats, foreign aid is a tool to force a radical
agenda on the rest of the world, regardless of America’s interests.
Do Americans don’t want their country exporting the values of
Sodom and Gomorrah instead of Valley Forge?

A Coil of Rage
I read Obama's book, Audacity of Hope.
It was difficult to read considering his
attitude toward us and everything American.
Let me add a phrase he use to describe his
attitude toward whites.
He harbors a "COIL OF RAGE". His words not mine.
THIS IS OUR PRESIDENT --
HE'S RUNNING AGAIN, YOU KNOW!
Is anyone out there awake? Everyone of voting age should read these
two books by him: Don't buy them, just get
them from the library. From Dreams From My Father:
"I ceased to advertise my mother's race
at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to
suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating
myself to whites." From Dreams From My Father :
"I found a solace in nursing a pervasive
sense of grievance and animosity against
my mother's race." From Dreams From My Father:
"There was something about her that
made me wary, a little too sure of herself,
maybe and white." From Dreams From My Father:
"It remained necessary to prove which
side you were on, to show your loyalty
to the black masses, to strike out and
name names." From Dreams From My Father:
"I never emulate white men and brown
men whose fates didn't speak to my own.
It was into my father's image, the black
man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the
attributes I sought in myself: the attributes
of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela." And FINALLY .............. And most scary:
From Audacity of Hope:
"I will stand with the Muslims should the
political winds shift in an ugly direction."
We have someone with this mentality
running our GREAT nation! Keep your
eye on him and don't blink.
I don't care whether you are a Democrat,
I don't care whether you are a Democrat,
a Republican, a Conservative or a liberal,
be aware of the attitude and character of
this sitting President.
The character of any man
is defined by how he treats
his mother as the years pass ....
Need I say more about
this person below other than
there is no character,
no integrity but there
is a ton of attitude and
arrogance that defines
his shallow past and hollow
future ... I rest my case..
