"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. (George Orwell)"
I finally took a deep breath and calmed down some after suffering the revelations last weekend on Soros and his forces. It was like finding a nest of termites under my house....silent predators eating away at the foundations. One comforting fact is that 59,934,786 people voted against Obama. That is nearly 60 million of us who didn't get sucked into the muck.
The real mission now has to be to spread the word, take back the Republican Party from the Rinos if possible, and get yourself prepared to counter argue with every stupid liberal you come across. Speak up. I know it is hard to confront these people. Don't be afraid to tell liberals who they really are: Socialists. They demonize you, say ugly things about capitalism, talk about Christian faith as if it is the religion of the red-neck, gun-toting fringe, act as if you are passe, make you feel about an inch tall....etc. Because of that you have to get your arguments prepared. Listen to Rush Limbaugh. Read other conservative bloggers. (a list is growing in my link list to the right) Hold your head high and keep telling yourself....59,934,786 people voted against socialism. We need more enlightened people to vote against socialism. And we need them to get smart fast!!
I did promise I would give you some more on Soros, so below are some more links. I am late coming to the revelations here....many many smart people have been onto this from as far back as 2004. I just managed to find out about this lately. If you do a google search on "Obama and Soros" you will find zillions of articles connecting the newly elected president to Soros.

From Mr. Wizard to the Wizard of Oz
O.K. Toto...I get it now..
We aren't in Kansas anymore, that's for sure. I have been sent down a road...not a pretty yellow brick road, but more like a dark and treacherous alley of crooks, thieves, and manipulators. I should preface this with the fact that I am not normally a 'conspiracy theorist' type. I don't buy into the Freemasons surreptitiously working in the underworld to take over the world. That being said, I do have a possibly irritating quality of asking nagging questions. Mostly the "who, what, why, where, and how" questions. Statements made to me are met with skepticism, especially statements with premises that sound like there is a hidden agenda somewhere. That's me...I just can't let well enough alone. I have to find out where in the heck that came from.
So as the election year ticked on with the same talking points coming out of every left wing media outlet, I kept thinking..."where are they getting this crap?" and..."who in the heck believes this crap?" and.."who is feeding them this crap?" and..."how can so many people get sucked into this crap?" and..."why am I hearing the same crap on every media outlet and seeing it in every newspaper?" and..."what the heck did this or that person just say that was another piece of crap?"
The biggest question I kept coming up with is this one, "Who is pulling the strings behind the election and the economy that is causing this implosion we are seeing?" I ask this question because the simultaneous collapse of our economy, the global economy, and the emergence of the biggest socialist regime in the history of America cannot be a coincidence. Somebody somewhere is yanking us around and I had to find out who was behind it.
Well, folks...I have been spending a lot of time on the search for truth with my best friend, Mr. Google. (now my best friend Google is getting in bed with the Wizard of Oz, too...but that's another story.) My search has been fruitful, however, frightening in its outcome. In the dark alley there were doors. Behind every door was the same person....the same name, the same puppeteer. Behind the curtain was a billionaire named George Soros.
This is not surprising news to those who have been watching this thing for the last few years...but it was news to me. While I had heard the name, George Soros, I had no idea the extent of his collusion with the Democrats, the Socialist agenda, or his stated mission to take down the economy of the United States. Now I know. And I am going to share links with you guys on the subject of this man, who he is and his mega-maniacal powers.
It's hard to imagine that someone would have so much money and power that they could pull this off. In fact, as I have been learning this information I have felt the incredulous feeling of being smack in the middle of some geo-political thriller such as Dr. Strangelove, State of Fear, or one of the Bourne identity movies...or Enemy of the State. While this could seem just too too incredulous...it's more like, "Truth is stranger than fiction."
Below are links to the information I found. I know it takes time to read through all of this. I can't do anything about shortening that...but I revere the blood of our founding fathers who put their lives on the line to save us from just this kind of tyranny and, so therefore, I think the least we can do is take the time to get some smarts on who the enemy is, who the collaborators are, and prepare for the long fight ahead. I only wish it were as simple as throwing some boxes of tea in the nearest harbor. The links below are just the tip of the ever increasing iceberg in our (pseudo global warming / real economic ) crisis. I'll put more links to this diabolical monster next time. There is much more if you want to just google this: George Soros and the Democrat Party. Or Google: George Soros manipulates nations.
Please take a look at and read the links below...

New York hedge fund Ospraie Management has teamed up with billionaire financier George Soros to pay $2.8bn (€1.54bn) for the commodities trading and merchandising business of US-based ConAgra Foods, in what is thought to be the largest acquisition by a hedge fund.)
So let's see....this billionaire guy owns the Democrat Party, he owns a hedge fund that takes down nations, he owns a Socialist non-profit called Open Society Institute which is an umbrella / front for every leftist group you ever heard of, he controls media outlets by subterfuge, and now he owns a huge amount of the food distribution chain. We'll see how much more I can find, but welcome to Oz. You are just now meeting the Wizard..and he ain't Santa Claus.
Stay tuned....and vigilant.

Thank you Mr. Wizard!

Here's an idea...let's scare the beejeezus out of everybody, convince them the oceans are rising, the cities will fall, the beaches will be gone, life as we know it will stop, and ...unless they give us some big bucks to stop this catastrophe, the world is going to end!!!! Grab the closest lifeguard 'cause you are going into the drink without a life raft!!!!
So Wednesday morning this week I sat down to read the latest in my morning paper, when ,taking my second gulp of tea, my eyes fell upon this headline, "Report: N.C. among most at risk to rising seas." I quote,"Rising temperatures cause ocean waters to warm and expand, like water heated in a tea kettle. (gee. I hadn't noticed the ocean boiling lately, had you ??) In addition, rising temperatures near the poles cause massive ice sheets to melt, adding to the volume of water." (Hmmmm....seems to me I remember facts to the contrary from an old television friend, Mr. Wizard!)
I kid you not...that is exactly what the newspaper article says. So how many of you friends remember Mr. Wizard? Don Herbert was his real name and he was a wonderful science expert who had a show on television sponsored by General Electric. My brother and I watched this show when we were kids and loved to practice the science experiments that Mr. Wizard shared with us all. One of those experiments was using water and ice cubes in a glass of water to exhibit the fact that when the ice melts there is the same volume of water in the glass as before the ice melts.GREAT INFORMATION HERE..PLEASE READ THIS!
Today I am so thankful for Mr. Wizard...invaluable information today, especially, when I am faced with lies, lies, and more lies staring me right in the face from the Charlotte Observer. Bet you see this all of the time in your newspapers, too. How the oceans are rising because the ice bergs are melting and the coastlines will be four feet higher by 2020 and you better watch out cause the boogie man is gonna getcha unless you fork over more taxes to the State!!! Obama, Nancy Pelosi and all of the Democrats are going to save you from the big bad boogie man....oh, by the way, this is all your fault and the boogie man is YOU!! You are doomed without Obama and Al Gore coming to save the planet!! From yourselves! (Wasn't that Pogo's line, "I've seen the enemy... and the enemy is us!)
Well, I've seen the enemy, too....and the enemy is ignorance. How many people have no clue about the water / ice volume facts? And if people don't know this..how can they fight against the liars??? Spread the word, please, before all of our liberties are gone!!!!

Celebrating the Inauguration Day OXYMORON
It's Inauguration Day tomorrow and I'm celebrating one of my favorite words: Oxymoron
According to UrbanDictionary: A figure of speech in which incongruous or contradictory terms appear side by side; a compressed paradox. Adjective: oxymoronic.
Barrack Obama embodies a cruel paradox, irony, oxymoron, if you will, to Martin Luther King's Dream speech. In fact, Barrack Obama represents the exact opposite of liberty. So while people of color are celebrating an ascension to power one of their own, few of them have any understanding of how their liberties as citizens of the United States of America are being eroded every day by the very Socialist associates and 'comrads' of Barrack Obama.
African American liberty was, thankfully, achieved long long ago. Because of that the attainment of an African American rising to the position of President is not that big of a deal. Minorities have not only had every basic right of any American for decades, but have been given more than most Americans in the way of Affirmative Action and the Community Reinvestment Act, and countless other Federal program mandates.
What is a big deal is the ideology he brings to this office. And his ideology is the very antithesis of American liberty. How does a man of "color" try to associate himself with the mantle of Lincoln as "emancipator," when in fact he is about to enslave all Americans in the largest Federal government grab of power since FDR.
There are black men I admire. I'll name three.
1.Frederick R. Douglas, friend of Abraham Lincoln. Read about him here
2.Walter E. Williams, author / columnist, holds many doctorates, distinguished professor of economics at George Mason University. Discover his articles here
3.Thomas Sowell, Phd. in economics, currently a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, San Francisco, CA. Read his articles here
These three men understand the value of individual liberty over collective slavery, i.e. socialism. They understand it from the viewpoint of black men, yet they value it for every single American. this is something Barrack Obama knows nothing about nor does he care.
If you want to hear it from the horse's mouth you can go to this You Tube link....

Lament for the Uneducated Minds
This link is a pre-election You Tube video and now the vote is irrelevant, however, this video explains how the government screwed up the economy for the entire country. It has fun music, too! Just for fun...Go Here!
(caveat: I am not a big McCain fan at all...but this video does show that he and President Bush did try to stop this crisis from happening.)
I am dedicating this one to a close friend who just can't figure things out. I preface this with the fact that she has no computer and doesn't want one, hardly reads the newspapers, and only listens to MSNBC. She'll never see this post. She is shaking her head in disbelief and repeating the mainstream media mantras about how bad corporations and greedy capitalists are to blame for all of our woes. She wonders how did our dear devoted politicians let this happen. To her, politicians are the nanny she relies on to take care of everything. "They" are supposed to be benefactors, protectors, Santa Claus, and everything else warm and fuzzy. Need I tell you she voted for Obama? Need I tell you she thinks public / government schools are the answer to everything?
I used to tolerate this thinking as misguided and sad. I am not so tolerant these days. In fact, I am really angry that she represents a larger quantity of uneducated and thoughtless populous who want "the government" to do everything for them. Ignorance is bliss, as the saying goes. I guess it is bliss if you don't realize how that ignorance is taking down an entire country.
I have to give this example of her thinking to illustrate the point: One day she called me up to tell me about the disastrous plight of some wild horses that were being rounded up to be sent to the far east for horse meat. She knew I would be sympathetic to this because I am an animal lover. "Oh, something must be done," she implored. "This is horrible!" The ASPCA was involved in trying to save these American animals and needed money, she related to me. So I jumped on the internet, found out where to send money, and got back to her on where to send money to help the animals whose cause she was so desparately pleading. I called her with the information and boy, did I get an earful! "Oh," she said, " I didn't mean I was going to give any of my money to help them." "I meant I wanted the goverment to save them." "I can't give my own money to such things!" "The government should stop them!"
Further conversation revealed more of her thinking. She informed me that she doesn't find it necessary or compelling to give to charities because she pays taxes. Taxes, she says, are the charity of her choice. To her, "the government" is her charity organization. She believes that if "the government" will do the work, then there is no need for "charity."
Marx is dancing in his element at this moment! "From each according to his ability,to each according to his need." Force. Government force. She votes for it every time. What she really wants is the government to steal your money by force to do what she wants the government to do.
So let's say "Jimmy" wants to make himself look like a hero. Jimmy decides he wants all poor people to own houses. There's a champion idea! Well, I guess Jimmy cannot personally buy houses for all of the poor people in the country, so instead, Jimmy will create a "government" entity that will facilitate poor people to own houses. You vote for Jimmy and he will see to it that all of those poor people will be home owners! Yea!! Boy can Jimmy pat himself on the back for this one! He's a hero!!!! Oh, but wait, I forgot to tell you that Jimmy was going to take, by force, your money to buy those houses. Furthermore, Jimmy can take taxes and litigate lawsuits against those bad greedy corporations to pay for this. More of a hero!!! Wow, Jimmy is on a roll!! They'll give him a Nobel Prize for this!! He'll be the winner of accolades all over the country and the world!!
Funny how no one calls him a thief or a scam artist. Funny how the mainstream media doesn't call him what he really is, a destructive, lying, stealing, Marxist, cheat. Nevermind that the entire country is now full of bankrupt persons and businesses, thanks to Jimmy. He's a hero! He is.... Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and other democrat socialists.
And people just like the "friend" described above, voted for Jimmy and his chums, the socialist democrats (thieves) time and time again. And the really funny thing is...she just continues to shake her head and blame the bad greedy corporations and business executives. It's all their fault according to her.
I (the blogger) am in search of new friends, who, like me are going to speak up and stop this madness. And I (the blogger) hope to set some minds straight, so please pass this blog on to all who need to hear the truth. Maybe together we can start to turn the boat around and get back on track..if only we can educate some people.

Below is an editorial I wrote that was published recently by our local newspaper:
The Tyrants of Climate Change
The onslaught against nature, both human nature and the nature of the planet on which we live, by the powerful political environmentalist zealots continues to dismay, disappoint, and disgust me. In order to combat this din of lies and distortions, I am compelled to write to you in order to at least help to educate the public who is ultimately paying a terrible price for being duped.
Motive here is an important factor. Just when you think we have evolved past the elitist structure where royalty take the spoils of the land and from the people who do the labor, now we find ourselves in the largest power grab that has ever taken place in the history of civilization. Think about it. If you can take away and tax the very natural resources people need to live, then you have complete and total power over all of the masses. Cite any tyranny from history and you will see that, where force takes away basic abilities to survive in a particular environment, tyranny wins. The environmentalist movement of today is no different than the tyrannies of the past, taking away basic necessities from the needs of the people. It’s a power grab like you have never seen.
I know that for years the government schools have been indoctrinating students and misrepresenting facts in order to support the government funding they receive. But how can it be that the majority of the public has completely missed the most basic science lesson of photosynthesis? As any major tyrant will tell you, if you indoctrinate youth into your lies, distortions, and way of thinking, you can get away with anything.
If you use the illogic of the EPA taxing cow emissions, then you can most certainly tax humans for breathing. We inhale oxygen and exhale that horrible pollutant, carbon dioxide, i.e. CO2. Especially we need to come up with a very punitive tax on all those marathoners who are expelling tons of carbon dioxide while training and racing!! (Did you just sneeze? Bless you...Now give the EPA some more money.)
Oh, we’re a blight on the planet. First we’ll try to convince people to pay for “carbon credits” voluntarily. As soon as we get them used to that idea, then we can impose the tax through force. First though, to get the process started, let’s tax cow emissions! That way we can take money away from the people who need milk for strong bones and teeth, make it more expensive, reserve it for just those rich elitists who can afford it, and condemn those dastardly farmers who keep cows.
Now for the facts on Carbon Dioxide:
The following article is from SYLVAN H. WITTWER, professor emeritus of horticulture at Michigan State University, directed the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station for 20 years, and chaired the Board on Agriculture of the National Research Council. He is the author of the world's leading textbook on greenhouse vegetables, and is co-author, most recently, of Feeding a Billion: Frontiers in Chinese Agriculture.
“A fascinating report was published by scientists with the Finnish Forest Research Institute in the April 3, 1992 issue of Science magazine. The researchers reported a 25 to 30 percent increase in the growing stock of forests in Austria, Finland, France, Sweden, Switzerland, and West Germany between 1971 and 1990, and attributed this growth in part to a 9 percent increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide during the same period.
One of the best-kept secrets in the global warming debate is that the plant life of Planet Earth would benefit greatly from a higher level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere.
You read that correctly. Flowers, trees, and food crops love carbon dioxide, and the more they get of it, the more they love it. Carbon dioxide is the basic raw material that plants use in photosynthesis to convert solar energy into food, fiber, and other forms of biomass. Voluminous scientific evidence shows that if CO2 were to rise above its current ambient level of 360 parts per million, most plants would grow faster and larger because of more efficient photosynthesis and a reduction in water loss. There would also be many other benefits for plants, among them greater resistance to temperature extremes and other forms of stress, better growth at low light intensities, improved root/top ratios, less injury from air pollutants, and more nutrients in the soil as a result of more extensive nitrogen fixation.
This good news about carbon dioxide has been all but ignored in alarmist discussions about possible global climate changes. CO2-related benefits were barely mentioned at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June, where the rising level of carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" was decried as the world's greatest environmental threat. The Rio Summit ended with the United States and over 150 other nations signing a Framework Convention on Climate Change, committing themselves to stabilizing emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases at 1990 levels.”
Not to mention Al Gore’s total insanity and the dire promises of Obama to exacerbate this power grab, I will cite this government outrage: “William K. Reilly, President Bush's administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, defends the $20 billion in costs that the Clean Air Act of 1990 has imposed on the U.S. economy, in part on the grounds that it "will eliminate 56 billion pounds of pollutants annually, many of them greenhouse gases." (carbon dioxide / CO2)
And yet, for over 100 years, nurserymen have been adding carbon dioxide to their greenhouses to raise the yields of vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. And for decades, it has been well known among botanists, biochemists, agriculturalists, and foresters that a shortage of carbon dioxide is the most common limiting factor preventing photosynthesis from proceeding more efficiently.”
This article is only a small piece of the factual science that the public needs to know. When the masses are rendered so weak in knowledge, in sustaining food supplies and in financial resources, there is no ability to combat tyranny. I am very worried that we are beyond recompense. Is this national tragedy beyond anyone’s ability to fight back?
I leave you with this question: How can the people of the United States stand up against the new “royalty” of their politicians and bureaucratic administrators who are taking by force their liberty and fortunes, however large or small, from them? When and where is the tea party? Count me in!

Below is an editorial I wrote that was published recently by our local newspaper:
The Tyrants of Climate Change
The onslaught against nature, both human nature and the nature of the planet on which we live, by the powerful political environmentalist zealots continues to dismay, disappoint, and disgust me. In order to combat this din of lies and distortions, I am compelled to write to you in order to at least help to educate the public who is ultimately paying a terrible price for being duped.
Motive here is an important factor. Just when you think we have evolved past the elitist structure where royalty take the spoils of the land and from the people who do the labor, now we find ourselves in the largest power grab that has ever taken place in the history of civilization. Think about it. If you can take away and tax the very natural resources people need to live, then you have complete and total power over all of the masses. Cite any tyranny from history and you will see that, where force takes away basic abilities to survive in a particular environment, tyranny wins. The environmentalist movement of today is no different than the tyrannies of the past, taking away basic necessities from the needs of the people. It’s a power grab like you have never seen.
I know that for years the government schools have been indoctrinating students and misrepresenting facts in order to support the government funding they receive. But how can it be that the majority of the public has completely missed the most basic science lesson of photosynthesis? As any major tyrant will tell you, if you indoctrinate youth into your lies, distortions, and way of thinking, you can get away with anything.
If you use the illogic of the EPA taxing cow emissions, then you can most certainly tax humans for breathing. We inhale oxygen and exhale that horrible pollutant, carbon dioxide, i.e. CO2. Especially we need to come up with a very punitive tax on all those marathoners who are expelling tons of carbon dioxide while training and racing!! (Did you just sneeze? Bless you...Now give the EPA some more money.)
Oh, we’re a blight on the planet. First we’ll try to convince people to pay for “carbon credits” voluntarily. As soon as we get them used to that idea, then we can impose the tax through force. First though, to get the process started, let’s tax cow emissions! That way we can take money away from the people who need milk for strong bones and teeth, make it more expensive, reserve it for just those rich elitists who can afford it, and condemn those dastardly farmers who keep cows.

Good Intentions Pave the Road to Hell
I'm not quite through with Jimmy Carter....here are some more of my thoughts on this former President....
It's all very well to wish for a perfect world where everyone has exactly everything everyone else has...if you look at that as perfect. I don't ascribe to that theory, which brings to mind Mao pajamas and Communist gulags. If I were to give Jimmy Carter any benefit of the doubt, I could say that because he came from the South and wanted to compensate for injustices of the past, he decided to make reparations to the poor by manipulating the banking industry in favor of the poor and blacks (African Americans). That sounds so Christian and noble, doesn't it?? I suspect he thought he was climbing the stairway to heaven and the Community Reinvestment Act was a big step on that stairway.
Ironically, Mr. Carter can now be known as the father of the banking crisis that has taken down the mortgage industry, the banking industry, the middle class, businesses all over the country, and....most ironic of all...causing people to lose their homes all over the country. One man's convoluted sense of good intentions has paved the road to hell for a whole lot of Americans.
If I don't give him the benefit of the doubt, I go to another possibility..that it was merely a political scheme to get votes from minorities of the day. If I were guessing, I'd say it was a combination of both, 10% nobility, 90% political motivation.
Below are some quotes grabbed from other internet sources on the subject. You can research this yourself by doing a google search on Jimmy Carter Community Reinvestment Act. There is so much more to it...adding in Bill Clinton who walked in and strengthened the government's force on the banking industry, which put the pedal to the metal and sped up the process to hell. You can also find out how Acorn...Obama's favorite Community Organization Group is tied to this diabolical scheme that has bankrupted our country.
from: Jeffrey Kempe
"Born under Jimmy Carter in 1977, [Wikipedia here]< the intent was to end the practice of redlining, in which banks allegedly were not lending in certain neighborhoods. It was revised in 1995 under Bill Clinton, with provisions added that would force banks to meet certain goals of low-income lending. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were required to meet goals of their own in buying the high risk paper – less of a risk to the executives of those companies since their bonus was predicated on the profit that high risk brings - while the burden of any loss would be borne by the: taxpayer.
In 2004/2005 Republicans in the Congress saw red flags, and tried to apply stricter oversight to both Fannie and Freddie. Democrats objected, and nothing was ever done."

"There has been no free market in housing or finance. Government has long exercised massive control over the housing and financial markets--including its creation of Fannie Mae (nyse: FNM - news - people ) and Freddie Mac (nyse: FRE - news - people ) (which have now amassed $5 trillion in liabilities)--leading to many of the problems being blamed on the free market today.
Consider the low lending standards that were a significant component of the mortgage crisis. Lenders made millions of loans to borrowers who, under normal market conditions, weren't able to pay them off. These decisions have cost lenders, especially leading financial institutions, tens of billions of dollars.
The government has promoted bad loans not just through the stick of the CRA but through the carrot of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which purchase, securitize and guarantee loans made by lenders and whose debt is itself implicitly guaranteed by the federal government.
That's you and me, folks....the government...us...our money guaranteeing Jimmy Carter's road to hell....or was it heaven....or was it his heaven and our hell?? As I write this today, Jimmy Carter is in Communist China. Wonder what he's doing there.....hmmmmm..

Chickens Come Home to Roost...In the Wrong Coop
Over the weekend we learned that my daughter's job, in fact her division at Bank of America, is being eliminated. (our family is definitely the Wrong Coop) We didn't cause this. Who did? Thank you Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. The "Community Reinvestment Act," set up by Jimmy Carter, was (is) a recipe for disaster. To read Al Fin's entire account, please click on the link below.
I am pulling no punches in this post....so here I go...
I also want to thank all of those so called "friends" of mine who continually whine and moan about the big bad capitalist corporations, consistently vote for business hating democrats, vote for socialistic policies and candidates, and now are responsible for my daughter, along with how many other millions, losing their jobs, their investments, and their general abilities to survive in America. I'm frankly sick of the lot of you, while you pompously and arrogantly act like do-gooders when in fact you are tearing apart the very fabric of the American way of life. By American way of life, I mean the ideal to work hard and pursue self-sufficiency, to live in freedom, to believe in the goodness of American productivity, etc. etc.
This is personal. As it is for many people. And if you don't like my tone...well, guess what? You don't mess with my kids without suffering my anger. I'm angry. So to all of you who voted for Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and any of the other idiot democrat candidates who continue these anti-American policies....I don't appreciate it. I'm sick of it. I'm ready to write you all off as really stupid, misguided, and despicable. If you want to wise up on reality and figure out what you did to cause this...please read Al Fin's blog post below. You just might be able to put two and two together....(boy am I the optimist.)
Al Fin has a blog post entitled: "Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton Share Blame for Subprime Mortgage Recession, Government Overshoot"
Al Fin: Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton Share Blame for Subprime Mortgage Recession, Government Overshoot: "To hear today's Democrats, you'd think all this started in the last couple years. But the crisis began much earlier. The Carter-era Community Reinvestment Act forced banks to lend to uncreditworthy borrowers, mostly in minority areas."

My Personal Tea Party
Welcome to my Tea Party!!! This is just the beginning. I'm ready if you are!
Each day I wake up, grab my tea and the newspapers, and before I've had half of the cup, I am so angry and filled with frustrations, that I find I can hardly turn myself away to get on with a normal existence. This has been an incremental slog into hell, if you ask me.....i.e. "the slippery slope," "death by a thousand cuts," one little assault after another.
In an effort to find my way through what looks to be a disastrous turn of political events, I am deciding to keep a running "chronicle" of my inner explosions regarding the state of our country. I am not young, not ancient, somewhere in between. But I have been here long enough to have some personal and historical perspective on middle class life in America and I am smart enough to see through a lot of garbage that is being thrown at Americans by politicians. I am going to vent my anger and back it up with as much truth as I can give you.
Maybe as we go along we can help each other survive what appears to me to be the worst attacks on liberty I personally have ever seen. If you have any ideas whatsoever to stop this onslaught, short of going to prison, let me know. Please do let me know. Short of millions of people marching on Washington or refusing to pay taxes, I have no idea what to do other than this blog. Hopefully I will give you some very good things to think about. I don't wish to dampen anyone's spirits, but I am going to write my heart out on issues that a lot of poor unsuspecting citizens are being duped into believing and for which they are having to pay and pay and pay.
So get yourself a cup of tea and come along with me as I vent, expose, and hopefully enlighten some Americans who just don't "get it." I'll be back soon...and remember, you are invited! :-)
