To the Editor:
This is a clarion call to arms, not guns. We’ve been there and done that, but rather a call to hands and mouths in order to take back what we lived and died for.
We lived during or shortly after the “Great Depression” We fought and won World War II , fought in Korea and Vietnam freed tens of millions from dictatorial and repressive regimes, while losing millions of our fathers, brothers, uncles and cousins.
We built one of the greatest economic and strongest democratic nations that the world has ever seen and rebuilt the nations of our enemies while we were at it.
Over the last five decades, while we were working to improve our lifestyle, educate our children and plan for the rewards of a retirement without worry, we allowed socialist minded politicians and “elite academics” (in their own minds) who never did an honest days work, lived off their parents and feed at the troth of government to infiltrate our educational institutions and all levels of government to brainwash our children and grandchildren, demean the family, our Judeo-Christian values, steal our retirement, our legacy and our ability to leave our hard earned wealth to future generations.
Oh yes, not to mention these are the same (ashamed of their parents and our country) radicals, many of whom evaded the draft by going to college or joining the peace corps, marching in the streets, smoking dope, singing “Kumbaya,” gave comfort to our enemies and for the most part were responsible for our loss of the Vietnam War and the lives of tens of thousands more of our sons and brothers. Is history repeating itself?
These lying thieving, elitists, social engineers (regardless of party affiliation) are stealing our legacy and our money at the same time. As we watch, they are hocking the future of our grandchildren and great grandchildren with no end in sight. Time is running out!
Throwing our money into a never ending cesspool of failed social programs, jobs that provide excellent benefits and more unfunded liabilities. Instead of being “The Great Society,” it is now called a “Stimulus Package.”
I doubt that you will be stimulated in view of the fact that our elected representatives have been responsible for the loss of trillions of dollars of our hard earned wealth that, with tongue in check, means we may have to die earlier than we thought we would. Funny. But sad!
Time may be running out for us, and if we let it, time will run out for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
If you are not seriously infirmed or in long term care, instead of worrying that you’ll lose your social security (another Ponzi Scheme) or your Medicare and drug program and convinced you are helpless to do anything, think back to the ’30s and ’40s. We did it once we can do it again! Take back our government and educational institutions. Don’t allow them to scare us and take our eye off the ball.
Stay focused!. Write or call your representative, senator (state and federal), our colleges and universities. They want your vote and your money. You’re not some old person whose time has past. Express you displeasure. Hold their feet to the fire. Write to the Supreme Court. They’re letting it happen while we talk but don’t walk the walk. Don’t be all talk and take no action.
Have dialogue with your children and grand children. Tell them what you did and why you did it. They won’t learn that in school. They don’t realize it yet but their future is at risk.
All you have to do is call or write. Frustrating and fruitless as it may seem, the pen is mightier than the sword.
Well, I think it's pretty plain that the American people no longer have any political representation. What to do when those who we hire to uphold the rule of law are guilty of breaking it themselves?
Don't they realize that they can't seek refuge or protection in a shelter that has no roof?
Unfortunately, while there was much to admire about the GI Gen (I don’t like the term “Greatest”, both because it’s not AND I don’t like giving Brokaw the satisfaction of something HE coined), they DID gather at the trough (spelled correctly there) bleating after FDR’s promises. Never mind they raised the Spock-engineered Worst Generation (because of preponderance of loud-mouth Hippies).
So many of them voting with 0 is not a surprise.
this is our fault, we flee the public education system and decline to sit on school boards and local councils because we can't tolerate the libs, we should stay and fight hard, but we move out, meanwhile the libs spread like locusts destroying everything along the way, they are taking over and we sit back and watch and whine.
Oh I hate the gerrymandering. My district is shaped like an L and includes our bit of the suburbs to the south tied in with more older suburbs/rural to the east and straight through the CITY to the north of it! (Dems, of course.)
While counties is a nice general idea, I think we could work out a rule where district boundaries can be described with geometry where we need to have sensible right angles, etc, with area covered being significant % greater in absolute # than the perimeter/border, etc. Some mathematical person can describe it. As it is now, what can happen is geometrically “ugly”.
Geesh. Scary. And we wonder why the young are so ignorant?”
While you are at it,,,,,, PASSED instead of past.
My district is too .. except in my case, the repubs got it changed back from the mess the dems made and now I have a great repub representative.
But .. I still have Boxer and Feinstein .. which is just horrible.
The republican party is autistic.. if you’re a republican its time to make a new plan.. that is, if you CARE.. RINOs just want to make an appearance.. an attempt.. a gesture.. even a statement.. They are boot lickers.. like Germans in the 1930’s..
I've made sure that my children, and their spouses knew about Democrats, liberals, progressives (life stealers). And, I've always stressed the importance of voting and acting responsibly to them. Even to the point of threatening their inheritances, I'm afraid. Because, if they do not stop this madness, there won't be anything left for them to inherit - or for their children to inherit from them, for that matter.
I've told my daughter to keep her children out of voluntary public education (pre-K, etc.) as long as she can so she can teach them fairness and the value of working for something - anything. I've told her she should be saving as much money as she can to get her girls in a private school away from what will become education camps for Obamanation.
It is a sad, sad state we are now in, and it seems that we are going to get financial ruin on top of the massive loss of personal and individual freedom. The users of this nation wanted 'change', and it is change they shall have - only it is properly called by another name - tyranny.
Cynthia McKinney once had a district south of Atlanta that stretched damn near to Macon, in some parts only following a state highway or the banks of a river to connect with pockets of her “constituents” who had a racial connection in common with her.
A gullible New Yorker? I didn’t think there was such a thing.

You have the same problem with illegals from Mexico. If you look at the Mexican voter inside of Mexico, they vote for those that they feel will take care of them. Not those that are good for their country. They will do the same here.
I am old but strong, I can carry my end of the rail for anybody under three hundred pounds. You may need four men on the rail for the “Lion of the Senate”. Ride ‘em right on out of town.
I believe turkey feathers would me most appropriate, on the other hand buzzard feathers would be a strong competitor.

The worst 50 years for America as far as the road to liberal destruction was probably 1930 to 1980, especially 1935 to 1975.
I think that the people started regaining some control by the late 70s and if it hadn’t been for all of the previous Supreme Court decisions and irreversible legislation we would be winning the war against the left, what kills us is the 1965 immigration change that kept the democrats alive and cost us our nation as that voter replaces the conservative American voter.
Valid comparison, Mugabe to Obozo.
If his power is not checked, the result will be the same.
The difference is we are armed, and some of us will not be subjected.
Sounds at least ninety percent right to me.
“Our Founding Fathers designed the system to be an overlay on Judeo-Christian values. Once those Christian values are diminished or abandoned, the system will not sustain itself.”

I know an eighty seven year old retired preacher who said to me in a conversation, “I don’t care about the constitution”. The same man is a strong supporter of abortion rights. Judeo-Christian values are not always found among those who call themselves Christian.
I think that’s one of the reasons the left is so threatened by Sarah Palin. She doesn’t need government to take care of her family. The left cannot allow female role models who by example demonstrate strength and independance. Along with her faith in God and strong family ties, she leads by example. Dems & Socialists must keep women feeling vulnerable and frightened for their future.
Was that in there too? I noticed several errors, but just stuck with the 1st set.
Then I realized it was a LETTER to the Editor, instead of Editorial or article.
Can it get any worse than Mikulski (Butterball), Cardin and Sarbanes II?
