YES, SIR, I AM AN AMERICAN AND DAMN PROUD OF IT TOO
My quiet office ^ | 12/08/2004 | Myself

Posted on 12/08/2004 2:14:54 PM PST by B4Ranch

What would you think about starting an organization that will tell all State and Federal elected officials that we are demanding a B+ or better rating to qualify for the list we will all use for our personal voting decisions at every election from now on.

It would be easy to get the news into the newspapers and on television that State and Federal elected officials without a B+ rating will have no chance whatsoever to receive your vote.

I am recommending that we base their grades on three issues.

The socialist idea that American citizens should not be allowed to defend their person and property with firearms is a complete failure as we have seen in England.

Securing our national borders is something that should have been done on 9/12/01.

The United Nations is a blood sucking organization that is corrupt and ineffective.

Issue#1 Support for the 2nd Amendment (Molon Labe)

Issue#2 Support for bringing a rapid halt to the illegal alien invasion from all countries, not just Latin America.
This would of course include a drastic reduction in who can receive the taxpayer supported benefits, of all types! The removal of all who are not citizens or do not have authorization to be on American soil.

Support for a Bill that would halt anchor babies.

Issue#3 Support for removing the United States from the Nations and the removal of the United Nations from our soil.

The empty promises we receive from our legislators are not making AMERICA safer or stronger. Their slanted view of the 2nd Amendment is disgusting. The UN would have been bankrupt long ago if performance was considered.

When I study the performance of our State and Federal Legislators I am ashamed as well they should be, but ironically their standards have dropped so low that they think they are doing a fine job. When I look at their a performance report, I wouldn't hire one of them to work for me.

Legal excuses for their performance on these three issues, they all have, good ratings are quite rare. Let us voters raise the standards of we will accept, not humbly fall in line with what they say we are allowed to have.

I am extremely interested in hearing your ideas on such an idea because I am the father of two wonderful young adult daughters. I want these ladies to have a safe and secure future where will always be proud to say, "YES, SIR, I AM AN AMERICAN AND DAMN PROUD OF IT TOO"



I will never forget September 11th, 2001.

I think the possibilities of getting some legislators in who are conmcerned about the three issues I mentioned will bring men and women who will take care of your concerns without even thinking about it.

Legislators from both parties who think, "America FIRST!" are amazing people. We need more of them.

You'll have to throw out the XIV Amendment for this one.

Well, you wouldn't have to throw it out, but you would have to have another amendment to modify it, similar to the bolded below:

Section 1. All persons born [of legal residents] or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

What you are saying to the disgust of everyone who wants to give birth on American soil is that their 14th Amendment problem is certainly fixable with just a few sentences of English.






Amazing, huh? Judge*

No, what I am saying is that so-called "anchor babies" are unambiguously US citizens, per the XIV A. It would take another amendment to change this; no mere congressional bill of legislation would hold up under constitutional challenge.

If the women do not have authorization to be on American soil I think that it would be solvable.

Damn. I'm in.

You've got my numbers. My first consideration is: and this draws more consideration than the ACU rating because...

But then again, the three catagories you mention are in-and-of-themselves dear to many... and how many is the proof of this pudding.

As I said, I'm in.

By the time these sellout politicicans, and illegal aliens apologist from Texas get around to that, there will probably be another civil war.

That is the purpose of this! Making sure the sellouts don't get re-elected.

You are my hero.

I think it is a great idea and if it takes hold will drive home the message that what happened on November 2nd, 2004 was not a fluke and was not something orchestrated by a "religious right"...whatever the heck that is.

It will teach the Liberal leftist scumbags that we are taking our country back.

I fell a rant coming on...so I'd better hit 'post'.

Truthfully, I am surprised there hasn't been a lot more action on this thread.

If you are 110% satisfied with the way our State and Federal legislators are running the country now then I can understand your inacton but if you are not then may I ask just how in the heck do you think the situation is going to change unless we do something?

On the Open Border situation there is a growing group that rants and raves about what Washington is not doing to protect us and our families.

On the bang thread everyone constantly bitches and moans about the lack of support we get for the 2nd Amendment.

On threads that mention the UN, there is a larger group that whines continiously.

I am in all of these groups. I am pissed off at the poor performance I am seeing every day from our elected officials on a lot more than these three subjects.

The current method of polls and making telephone calls to our Congressmen isn't working at all. We are being ignored or don't you realize that?

I am offering one possible solution, if you have a better one then STAND UP and get it out here where we can debate it.

How do you ping the Bang List? AND, how do you ping California (for instance) Freepers? I tried that on a different thread tonight and horribly messed it up.

I know how to add a thread to the banglist but I don't think we have the capability of pinging groups such as you are talking about anymore, at least I don't know how to do it.

I know you can do it when you're first starting a thread, but I've been trying, with this thread...to no avail.
