UNITED? NOT SO MUCH.

Now we hear the leftists want seating at the State of the Union address to be mingled. Mingled as in, let's put the Republicans and Democrats all mixed up together so the American people won't be able to tell the difference between them and the respective sides of Congress won't be able to express their objections or support en masse, as a block if you will.

Isn't that just ducky? Let's all sing Kumbayah and Hail to the Chief as the media and the left want to shut everyone else in the country up. Since Republicans won the 2010 mid-term election, there seems to be quite a backlash from the left. First, they want you to believe that Sarah Palin and the Tea Party movement is responsible for a mass murder. Next we hear about some silly "no labels" idea, where elections should take place with no party labels so the public won't be able to have any inkling what the candidate may represent. Now we have this ridiculous idea that if we just make the Congresspersons all mixed up at the State of the Union speech, the little children will behave better. It's sort of like separating the two friends who sit together in class. "Now children, you mustn't let partisanship ruin the President's speech." What grade are we in?

Notice how loud and pronounced the left has gotten since Nov. last year. They have discovered that they truly are a minority and they don't like it one bit. Their response to this revelation is: "Shut up and sit down."

There is a reason we have two parties. It is because we do not all agree that Socialism is a good form of government. And the RINOs who have shown themselves to be wolves in sheep's clothing, are on notice that they will not be tolerated as well.

According to a recent Gallup poll, 78% of Republicans want the Health Care Bill repealed. Gallup.com According to the same poll 64% of Democrats want to let it stand. Ahem, I believe there lies a divide. Even so, 24% of Democrats want the monstrosity repealed. The margins show that a majority of Americans want the bill repealed. BUT, we must look like we support the President in his State of the Union Speech. And we must not look like we are divided. So we must hold hands and sing a cheerful little tune so the country thinks we are all so happy and together.

If image is everything, the leftists are kings of knowing how to create false images to fool people. I'm sure the Socialists in our Congress would like nothing more than to put forth the false image that we are all getting along just swell. Hiding the truth is one of their best plays.

No, we are not all on the same page with the President. No, we do not think his spending spree should be allowed to stand. No, we should not sing Kumbayah, holding hands and sitting next to those with whom we completely disagree. We should sit with like-minded people and show the leftists and the President that we do not approve of his Czars, his Socialism, his redistribution, his drilling moratorium, his federal take-over of private lands, his take-over of car manufacturers, his vision for a Statist controlled America.

Congressional Republicans need to get a spine. This business of trying to look like we are all going to play sweetie pies when the entire country is going straight down the tubes with unfunded liabilities and massive debts that will destroy our children's futures is just absurd.

United? No we are not.

BUSINESS AS USUAL

Can you tell the election is over?  

Today, Eric Cantor pretty much said the President, the Obams, is happy to work with Republicans to find "compromises" on the tax question.  (to re-instate the Bush tax plan or to raise taxes.)  Compromises with Socialists.  

Today John Boehner said Obama and Republicans are looking for "common ground."  Excuse me, but I can't think of any "common ground" with Obama and/or Socialists.  But they will find some and Americans will lose some more liberties.

Today, the Senate voted for S 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, which pretty much gives Monsanto a global lock on seeds and food production.  If Monsanto wants it, what does it matter what Americans want.  Right?  If Monsanto and the U.S. government want to control our food supplies, what do we matter? 

So, I ask myself, what is the point of contacting congresspersons to object to bills when they completely ignore us?  What is the point of a sweeping majority in the House if Boehner is helping Obama look for "common ground" where there is none?

In December the FCC take over of the internet is due for a vote.  Do you suppose our protests on the subject have any weight? 

So, all of the hoopla about tea parties and bringing the country back to conservative Constitutional principles is a joke.  There is no point.  It isn't going to happen.  Now or 2012.  You can't stop them.  I can't stop them.  We can write until our fingers are bleeding, it doesn't matter.  We can sing to the choir and get some small media coverage for our efforts, but we are not making any difference whatsoever. 

The power of the American people is gone.  2012 will be more of the same.  RINOs still survive.  Socialists still have their huge deficit spending programs.  The Constitution is dead.....or near dead.  The elected and the non-elected in our government don't give a rip about either the American people or the Constitution.  They are going to do what they want to do and we, we are just sitting ducks.  Sorry for the bad news...but reality has to sink in sooner or later.  Reality hit me today, smack in the forehead.  

I'm all for making huge efforts for the cause if it mattered.  I don't see how it matters.  Scream, holler, donate, work on campaigns, write the truth, and pray someone is listening.   You can put the truth right in front of everyone.  You can point out the lies.  You can prove whys and wherefores.  You can say the sky is blue and grass is green.  No one cares.  You can lead a horse to water.....as the saying goes.

So business as usual is back to the usual and we are again left out of the process, as usual.  Let's all sing Kumbayah and smile about all of the PROGRESS the SOCIALISTS are making.  Ain't it great?  Ain't it grand?  By all means, let's find "common ground" with Socialists.  And THAT is business as usual.   And that is how we got here from 100 years of Socialists engineering America. 

Can you tell I've had it up to my eyeballs?  Can you tell we have made so little impact with our votes that we are back to business as usual less than a month after the election??  Is it going to take another 100 years to gain back what we have lost? Or never? 

Can you tell the election is over? 

Looks like I am not the only one in a bad mood thanks to the Republicans doing "back to the usual" politics yesterday.  KE Campbell posted this on American Thinker today

And this quote from Mark Levin: 
"...[the meeting] was a mistake and I'll tell you why...Is there compromise or negotiations over the EPA's efforts to impose "cap and trade" on this nation? [No.] Is there compromise or negotiation over the ObamaCare legislation going on today? No. How about over the progressive income tax, which is [straight] out of the Communist Manifesto? No, no discussion on that. How about the elimination of a single federal agency or department? No. [Instead] we're negotiating on tax increases...but what's to negotiate?...We have already allowed the statists to set the priorities. Why are we negotiating with a defeated president and a defeated party, defeated in a massive landslide, a historic election? Why are we negotiating on their terms on our issues...rather than on our terms?..."

NOT WHO, NOT WHY, BUT HOW (TO STOP ELECTING SOCIALISTS IN AMERICA?)

This may be a dumb question, but do you wonder who it is voting Socialists into our government?  I do.  I have been wondering this for quite a few years now but, since the run-up to the 2008 election, the question nags at me every day like a bad toothache.  The existence of Socialists in our country is not news.  The news is that Socialists have lied, cheated, gerrymandered, and bribed their way into the American government to such an extent now that they are brazenly out in the open.  America finds itself on the brink, at the tipping point, that Socialists have been dreaming about for years.  The march toward a complete Socialist take-over, which began with Wilson and FDR, has now reached the moment of so much dependency on the State that a large portion of Americans are takers instead of tax payers.  info here  "As recently as the early 1980s, about 30% of Americans lived in households in which an individual was receiving Social Security, subsidized housing, jobless benefits or other government-provided benefits. By the third quarter of 2008, 44% of the public lived in such homes."  The takers will soon overwhelm the tax payers by such a plurality, especially under Obama Care, that Socialism will have taken over.  Dependency is the cocaine of the Socialists.  Get them hooked and the power is yours.

There is a good side to that awful news.  The good side IS the brazen, open arrogance of them.  No longer hiding in the shadows, they are bragging and swaggering and talking out loud in public about just how powerful they have become.  Yes, folks, the McCarthy era is over.  It's over because the vindicated McCarthy died young, because Hollywood glamorized Socialist ideology, and because Socialists took over the school system and indoctrinated millions of students over time into anti-American ideology.  From FDR to Obama, Socialists have undermined the United States Constitution and the very fabric of American life with all kinds of supposedly "feel good" welfare laws and programs.  Like snake oil salesmen and saleswomen, the Socialists have played the American public like patsies at a rigged back room poker game. 

So maybe my question is a little off.  Maybe my question should be: why are so many Americans patsies?  Who, with the sense God gave a dog, buys into the Socialist dogma?   Even if you never had one lesson in American government, would it make sense to buy into "spreading the wealth around?"  Even if you never heard of the Founding Fathers, would you vote to force your neighbors or grandchildren to pay for your house or your car?  Even if you never heard of the U.S. Constitution, would you actually believe in the "free lunch" promised by the Socialists?  Did you really think your taxes were supposed to pay for abortions in Africa?  When  you lose your job, your health care, your house, and your small retirement investment, when it is obvious the government policies caused those things, do you then turn around and vote to have that same government steal from someone else to bail you out?  Who are you?  What sort of person does that? 

And if you have voted for Socialist dogma up until now, is it possible you don't see the destruction those Socialists are causing? 

I have an understanding that older Democrats seem to think the Democrat Party is some sort of savior from the Great Depression.  There are Democrats who are linked into farm subsidies and various other props of big government.  I am picturing the Joad family in the Grapes of Wrath who, during the Great depression looked to the Federal Migrant Camps to save them from desperation.  And even that didn't work out too well.  Steinbeck, in his novel, never addressed the government policies that led to the Great Depression.  He focused solely on the Joad family's attempt to survive the Dust Bowl and the migration to California.  These are the kind of Democrats who always look to the government to save them, while not seeing the same government, or their own bad choices, caused the economic disaster in the first place.  Without that understanding of government manipulations, a person cannot comprehend the fact that the game is rigged against them.  And if they can't understand that, then they keep voting for the same disastrous Socialists over and over again.  The Democrat Party, gradually and so insidiously, became the Socialist Party.  Even those from the old school Democrats didn't recognize the lies and were sucked into the game....repeating the anti-American un-Constitutional policies until now...here we are at the brink of America off the cliff.

It is also a conundrum that some of these same people will complain about national debts for military spending, but think it is just fine to use their taxes for all kinds of insane projects.  (grants to study the drinking habits of Chinese prostitutes, to name just one absurd example)  Or, while they are complaining about military spending or corporate welfare, they will support the bottomless pit of money going toward streams of illegal immigrants who have no interest in assimilating into the laws and culture of our own country.  They will support endless wads of money going into subsidized housing,  buying into Cash for Clunkers, subsidized windmills and ethanol, greenways and parks, on and on.  But ask them to support the military necessary for defending our country and their eyes glaze over and they nearly pass out.  

We are one week away from possibly the final statement on America.  It is either the final statement of losing America.   Or it might be, at least, a statement of which Americans still "hold these truths to be self-evident."  I feel certain this election is going to be covered up with fraud from the left.  Some of the races are so close, a reflection of the takers vs. the tax payers, that George Soros' millions will be blanketing the polling places across the nation to assure the takers win the day.  Today we are already hearing of tampered voting machines across the country at early voting sites. With Acorn's newest incarnations, with the New Black Panthers hanging around, with buses taking the elderly and high school students to the polls, with dead people in Illinois on the rolls, this election promises to be the most contentious and worrisome election of our lives. 

I guess I know who.  I sort of know why.  People with scruples, morals, and who understand the U.S. Constitution will vote for the most ethical Constitutional conservatives they can find.  The rest of the voters are either on the take, want to be on the take, or lack the moral courage to defend their own country.  

Maybe I need better questions.  

How do you make them stop?  How do you fill Americans with the understanding of how precious liberty is?  How do you get people off the addiction of statist government dependency?  How do you stop voter fraud?  How do you cut the public schools off from Socialists? How do you get people to laugh off Soros and tell him to go fly his billion dollar kites somewhere else?  How do we eliminate government unions?  Etc.

Maybe that is the problem.  We know who.  We know why.  But do we know how?
