The "We The People" Special Interest Group

President Ronald Reagan in his First Inaugural Address on January 20th, 1981, outlined many of the ills our country is now facing. His comments should resonate through those who believe that limited government and a free market economy, are the answers to many of our current problems. There should be concern in Washington for only one special interest group: "We The People"
"You and I, as individuals, can, by borrowing, live beyond our means, but for only a limited period of time. Why, then, should we think that collectively, as a nation, we're not bound by that same limitation? We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow. And let there be no misunderstanding: We are going to begin to act, beginning today. The economic ills we suffer have come upon us over several decades. They will not go away in days, weeks, or months, but they will go away. They will go away because we as Americans have the capacity now, as we've had in the past, to do whatever needs to be done to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom.

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.
From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.

We hear much of special interest groups.
Well, our concern must be for a special interest group that has been too long neglected. It knows no sectional boundaries or ethnic and racial divisions, and it crosses political party lines. It is made up of men and women who raise our food, patrol our streets, man our mines and factories, teach our children, keep our homes, and heal us when we're sick—professionals, industrialists, shopkeepers, clerks, cabbies, and truck drivers. They are, in short, "We the people," this breed called Americans."

Freedom First!

I wanted to post this old video, to help America remember its heritage. Have we forgotten what True Freedom is, or how we were able to obtain it? Will you pass on to your children, your grandchildren, neighbors and fellow Americans truth, or "A Torch With No Flame"?

The Left's Perpetual War To Destroy American Values

You hear it daily. "Stop shoving your religion and your values in my face!!!" Oh, excuse me. Did I offend? Just because some people, (THE MAJORITY), want to worship their god, and try to live by the principles they have placed their faith in, the Left makes them out to be the Scourge of the country. Bigotted racist radicals who are indoctrinating the weak minded to blindly follow in some mystical quest to a mythical promised land. Forget that the Western culture's laws and values are based on the Judeo-Christian heritage. Farbeit that we should work to uphold those principles which helped to build this nation and make it the world leader. How much longer will we be? Are we still? Can we maintain the status of being the shining light of democracy to the world as we travel treacherously down this road of collective socialism. The spinsters do their work. They intimidate, threaten, or bribe their intentions into existence. They have the power The liberties they exercise now, bought and paid for with the blood of sons and daughters, long ago...  and still, everyday. They have created their own gospel. They manipulate the media to report what they want reported. They pressure the businesses to do their will.  They march to a different drum then the ones heard at Concord or Bunker Hill. They labor endlessly, viciously  denouncing their fellow American's values and morals working to replace this democratic republic which was founded in the Greco-Roman forms of government with an already proven failed system. Ace describes it perfectly. The excerpt from Ace's blog below will describe the vile we are dealing with:
This is Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber all over again. The media does not even need to be instructed to destroy the left's opponents; Obama's men hardly had to threaten Chrysler debthoders with such a tactic. They do it because they now consider it their jobs. It's patriotic, you see, to destroy inconvenient citizens who oppose The Socialist, Progressive Good. Free speech is a quaint notion. It's about time everyone knew there would be serious, painful consequences for crossing the left. The thing is, of course, they fail once again. Their charges of "hypocrisy" are contrived to justify a simple vendetta. It should be noted that no one on the right -- or anywhere -- thought that Bristol Palin's pregnancy was a good thing, or that it reflected well on Sarah Palin; it reflected badly on her, albeit to a very, very minor extent. Like everyone except The One, Palin isn't perfect; sometimes she errs, or can't control her kinda-hot teenaged daughter's sexual behavior. Not good, per se, but so minor a "failing" that most people wouldn't give it three seconds thought.
Except if you're on the left, who, when they're not urging sexual libertinism to make Caligula blush, posture as the Keepers of the Moral Flame That Warms Our Fragile Society, letting us know precisely which right-leaning people have committed gross sins against God and Nature.
Lord, please have mercy on us as a nation. Help us to walk the path You have laid for us, and not stray to perverse tempatations and indescretions.
