Ladies and Gentlemen,
The time has come for you to realize that the United States of America is made up of individuals who believe in Liberty, Freedom and Justice. It’s time those of you we asked to do a job, did that job.
Your job is not to tell ME how to behave, how to act, how to give my own money for others. If I want to give my money for a charitable cause I will do so on my own, without prompting.
It’s NOT your job to tell me how much gasoline to use, or electricity. If I want to drive an SUV across country, or fly on a private jet, I will. I do not and WILL NOT pay for an imaginary Carbon Foot Print. I REFUSE.
It isn’t your job to tell me whether I should or shouldn’t have health care. I don’t need to pay for someone else’s health care either. I’m in good shape. I take care of myself. I exercise, and I have a job and I have health insurance through my company. It is perfectly acceptable to myself and my family. Why do you want to change what I find acceptable? The right answer isn’t “Because others don’t find it acceptable”. Remember, I AM an American and an Individual! Others need to do for themselves what I have done for MYSELF and leave me alone.
It’s not your job to tell the Military how to act. It isn’t your job to cut military pay, to remove benefits or to stop our military from doing their jobs. I am a former military member, now retired. I don’t even get to draw my pay until I’m 60 thanks to the likes of you folks. Our retiree benefits have gone down the tubes over the years, a little here, a little there until we have practically nothing left. Military retirees have to pay for their medical care. Tell me, how much do YOU pay for yours?
Military members recently have been charged with crimes for simply doing their jobs. What kind of nonsense is that?
What I think you Ladies and Gentlemen have failed to realize in your zealotry to push this country into a view that is acceptable to yourselves that the view you see is unacceptable to most Americans. In fact, the majority of Americans might have so many different points of views that none of us are on the same team.
But, that doesn’t mean that YOU men and women of Congress should strive to make us all alike.
In fact, it is deplorable of you.
Congress lies. This is unacceptable.
Congress cheats. This is unacceptable
Congress steals from the people of this country. This is unacceptable.
Congress has tried and is trying at this very moment to usurp the Rights of Americans. Those Rights include the Right to keep and Bear Arms, the Right to Freedom of Speech, the Right to be free of search and seizure for no reason. This is unacceptable.
Congress has helped create and fund organizations like ACORN to help to cheat Americans by putting them in charge of the Census. This is unacceptable.
Congress has freely given our monies to FAILING companies - which are denigrated and hated by most on the Left anyway as ‘evil corporations’ and yet, hypocritically Congress gives those failing companies MY MONEY. This is unacceptable.
Congress has created with the help of the President a MASSIVE deficit that will force my Great-Grand Children to pay and pay and pay. This is unacceptable.
Congress continues to operate outside the laws they make for the People of this Country. They don’t see themselves as having to have the same rules applied, as in the case of health care, or pensions as the rest of Americans. This is unacceptable.
Congress has, in short, forgotten their original purpose, reason and the rules of the road. The people in Congress have gone there with an “Entitlement Attitude” when they are not entitled to anything. Congress has, in short, decided they are entitled - and American People are not. This is unacceptable.
Congress has forced Americans to begin to revolt - this was probably exactly what many of them wanted so now you have it. Americans are tired of being treated like second and third class citizens, ignored, despised by Congress members, denigrated for protesting, investigated if they question authority.
America is in the midst of an uprising.
What Congress has failed to realize is that we don’t run around with guns killing people like they do in third world countries. We stopped doing that with the Civil War. What we do, is we fire people. We remove them from office.
Congress - you are FIRED. Not one of you, most of you, if not all of you are going to be changed out. Especially the Marxists, those who support such ideals as Marxism and Socialism.
Congress - You are fired. Pack up and be prepared to leave and go back to your home towns. You are about to be removed from office, and we won’t have to have a Second American Revolution to do it.
The shots you will hear will be the sounds of people slapping down the voting switches on voting machines, snapping their pencils and pens down after filling in the voting card, and the shouts of JOY at seeing so many of you people being removed from office.
And some of us will be pushing to have your pensions removed to save money too…. we won’t forget that you cheated Americans and you will pay for it out of your own pockets.

Something you only appear to have become aware of in the course of this thread. Maybe this knowledge will prevent you from destroying your credibility so badly the next time you go on a rant.
I hope you feel better, at any rate. Have a good rest-of-the-day.
Repeal the 17th....

Restore original congressional apportionment from current 1:500000 to 1:30000.
This WILL limit consensus to the most important issues potentially affecting the state of the union...and not whether or not to treat granny’s hemmarroids...or “allow nature to take its course”
If you don't want anybody to take issue with your post, don't post it. Otherwise, leave it on your blog, which appears to be safely comment-free.
(Yeah, fine, which 3 or 4 voted against it again?)
Sorry, my mistake, obviously you weren't talking about the vote when you talked about voting.
I know what they were.
Your previous statements indicate otherwise.
How funny. So far no one has actually “taken issue” except a couple who really love their particular Congress people.
Those who’ve said “Idiot” and “you’re stupid” aren’t taking issue.
You, well, you picked out a couple of things and completely got lost because there are many more things to remove them ALL from Congress for doing (or not doing) than the few I pointed out.
You’re a fine example of a Leftist who likes to Obfuscate. Perhaps you’re not a Liberal, but you’re acting like one... and this just in.... from another post:
“The majority of voters (67%) continue to believe the nation is heading down the wrong track, the highest level found in 2009. However, in the weeks just prior to Barack Obama’s election, more than 80% of voters felt that way.”
Really? Wow. Let’s leave the status quo, shall we?
Go ahead. In two years, I won’t give a crap and you all can keep what you asked for.
Look here, Mister “I talk in the third person Rick.(dot)Donaldson” do not try to lecture me or call me daft. I get it, and I am not the enemy. You’ve posted your rant, and you got some replies, many of which you didn’t like. Tough.
My congressman is an entrenched member of the black caucus, so my “message” is money: donations to conservative candidates in other districts and states.
Have a nice day and a Happy New Year.
Well, we obviously have to vote in someone “better,” right? But that is not all we have to do - and that is what http://pushbackuntil.com/Mandates.htm describes. We can no longer trust our country to the whims of ideologues, utopians, socialists, and the like. As any decent, healthy company does, we need policies (”laws”) the ensure our Republic survives. I do not believe the founding fathers ever could have conceived that our “leaders” would destroy this country. We, the people, must stop them from doing this, and the only way we can do that for the long term is to pass these mandates. Maybe you have better ones, do not know. But at least these are a start.
“I went slow and deconstructed the stuff she was learning from the union where she worked.”
People are receptive to our ideas. Getting them to listen is the trick. It also takes knowing what you believe and paying attention.
Its easy to rant about throwing the bums out...not a dime’s worth of difference...blah, blah, blah. That takes no skill or intelligence - a VERY LAZY way of thinking, in my opinion. Convincing others is hard, but that is how you build a political movement.
