Well, it should be clear to all by now, that neither party is serious about cutting spending. We the people have been warning the politicians for decades that their big spending would lead us to bankruptcy. Well, guess what. We're nearly there. Obama has spent and committed more money than all of the presidents before him and now we're broke and will have problems borrowing more. Our credit rating will be hit, interest rates will rise, cost of government will soar even higher.

No matter what they say, we're in a deep recession. Millions of people unemployed. Businesses cutting back or shutting their doors. Too risky to invest or make long term plans. Too risky to expand or hire new employees. People everywhere are having to do with less, much less.

And our politicians are wringing their hands having no idea what to do about it. They're tossing one bill after another out there, but none of them do diddly squat about addressing the problem.

IT's THE SPENDING, STUPID!! And the solution is to CUT THE SPENDING, STUPID!!

CUT IT!! CUT IT DEEP!! CUT IT NOW!!

We the people have had to cut our spending, now it's time for the big spending government to cut theirs!!

It's time to shutter entire departments! It's time to cut the payroll! Cut the pensions! Cut the bennies! Strip the unconstitutional and unnecessary departments and programs!! Cut the bloated government! Bring our troops home! Abolish the EPA!! Abolish the TSA!! Abolish and shutter as many ABC departments as we possibly can!! REPEAL OBAMACARE!! ObamaCare is totally unnecessary, unwanted and unconstitutional. Pure socialist pork! REPEAL IT!! REPEAL IT NOW!!

When the government does these things, then we'll know they are serious!

Until then, a pox on the whole lot!

Call your congressional reps today and demand that they do not raise the debt ceiling under any circumstances whatsoever!! We're deep enough in debt already!! CUT THE SPENDING, DAMMIT!!

And if they refuse, vote the corrupt, big spending, business as usual bastards OUT!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

Go, TEA party!!

Oh, yeah, and please continue supporting FR if you can. We need FR in this fight, NOW more than ever!!

Yup. No one wants to be in middle of a gaffe and it’s hard to be polite to an idiot.

Obama chose him because he’s clueless. Biden is as lefty as they come but he’s no threat. Malleable comes to mind.......

The most sickening, most infuriating and agonizing thing is:

he and his food/fashion queenie PROMISED what they were going to do in the campaign.

Millions of Americans .. thousands here at FR who were in the forefront of sentinels .. warned people:

this man’s dangerous, his life is loaded with freaky and notably alarming affiliations and personal history, he’s uber radical and runs with an anti-American if not commie crowd, there’s no American outlook at his core .. don’t be fooled.

And yet, war fatigue, Bush fatigue, a mendacious, spineless opponent, what I believe was an engineered financial crisis, and bingo:

a simplistic slogan ~~ hope and change and soaring but empty rhetoric from a lying, radical adjunct professor ~~ became nirvana to the shallow tree huggers and ignorant/apathetic/uninformed/disengaged sheeple.

And, unless they’re in a govt job somewhere that’s immune from a pink slip, they’re gonna suffer right along with those of us who knew and were the sentries and blasted the warnings vehemently when it could’ve made a difference.

I can’t find one tiny mustard seed of sympathy for them. I’m sure I could locate a good swift kick.

Perhaps it had to come to this, this striking contrast of

blantant radical and unconstitutional designs, dismantling the Constitution directly, punishing and overarching govt intrusion and control, taxing to oblivion, prohibiting use of our very own God-given resources, weakening the 2nd amendment, pushing abhorrent and dependent lifestyles, shameless baby killing, marginalizing God and religion, weak US defense appeasing, liberalizing the courts, 50% entitlement culture, etc. etc. etc.

to clearly define the polarized ideologies (which differences on major issues aren’t as big as the state-run media endlessly pronounces) and burst the boil of this struggle for our generation and what the role of our govt really was meant to be and is.

Note: one govt survey puts the percentage of gay Americans at 4%

~ ~ ~

Note: Racial demographics of the US (per Wikipedia)

Race Number Percentage

White alone (of which 26.7 million are White Hispanic and Latino Americans, see table below.

Excluding these, this category comprises 63.7%
or 196.8 million) 223,553,265 72.4%

Black or African American alone 38,929,319 12.6%

Some other race alone
(Mestizo, Mulatto...) 19,107,368 6.2%

Asian alone 14,674,252 4.8%

Two or more races 9,009,073 2.9%

American Indian or Alaska Native alone 2,932,248 0.9%

Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander alone 540,013 0.2%

Total 308,745,538 100.0%

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States#Race_and_ethnicity

~~~~

4% are gay !! Nearly 19% are African-American or mixed AA!!

So, totally altering the biblical and, by our very physical nature, the design and definition of marriage and constantly using race as their political weapon constantly for these small numbers of our population are deserving of all this freaking legislation, societal angst, court rulings, national upset and discomfort, educational reworks, media and political barrages and constant haranguing of the rest of us .. the majority ????

NO! We’re being used and duped every day by the overlords of ideology and the agendae of those in the radical elite, liberal, political, media and academic establishments. They just want us to be like them and think like them. NO!

We clearly have the stinking contrast before us every single day.

I think it’s as huge a challenge as our beloved Founders faced. There’s just not a notable amount of blood in the streets .. yet.. and we’re the new, trusted media in the face of the state-run press, who’ve completely and willingly become this admin’s mouthpieces because they’re birds of a feather.

We know the fight for freedom has to be unrelenting and has been throughout time. And it appears that this is our time to fight another radical, powerful and power hungry interloper in our midst.

Only this time, he’s armed with most all the accepted ‘press,’ and the billions from Soros types, funding their hired cretins, stirring up their relatively small (but young)masses at orgs, websites, blogs, Twitter, social and other online media outlets, and the rest of the population: bulk of whom being older, unwired, soft, spoiled, lazy and/or the growing percentage of wounded citizenry who’re struggling and totally occupied with survival.

Thank God for Free Republic and Fox News, the ONLY reliable TV source for accurate news and truth. Our enemies .. and they truly are our enemies .. will never give up their attempts at destroying sources of truth. We’re annoying impediments to their agenda.

And, even though we DO outnumber them literally across this nation population wise, we have to begin to grow the younger set and at least equal them in all the wired ways of today: news and investigative websites, blogs, social media, forums, whatever. That’s where this generation lives, and that’s got to be the hope for this nation for the future.

Younger, courageous, engaged conservatives are vital, and have to be involved in this fight and activism as we age up.

I pray it’s not too late. I’m sure the Romans never felt their society could crumble and fall I just keep praying.

Sorry .. I guess I had a lot in there .. simmering .. ;)

"A patriot without religion in my estimation is as great a paradox as an honest Man without the fear of God.
Is it possible that he whom no moral obligations bind, can have any real Good Will towards Men?
Can he be a patriot who, by an openly vicious conduct, is undermining the very bonds of Society?
....The Scriptures tell us "righteousness exalteth a Nation."

— Abigail Adams
