Molting has been done and the cardinals are starting to get their bright red color back.

It Is Not To Late

Well it is beginning. A certain recently deceased senator who long served past his usefulness to America is being made into a saint by the media and his political party and his memory is being used to advance their most recent unpopular and deadly cause the nationalization of health services to eliminate another trumped up emergency.

Remember the emergency that led to the massive amount of money needed to save the economy. It has not done anything but help those who have made bad business choices and should have had to face the consequences for their irresponsible actions. It is not to late. Only a small amount of these funds that were needed under the pretense that if not spent immediately we would face the end of our economy. We still have an economy (though Washington is working to destroy it as we know it) and we still have the money awaiting the irresponsible decisions of our government to spend it. I urge all Americans to demand that the money be spent in the only reasonable way our situation demands. It be returned to the taxpayers (whose money after all it is) and used to retire its portion of the National Debt. Lets start demanding the same thing that applies to the average family in America. If I am responsible I cannot spend others money to pay for my responsibilities, if I am responsible and wish to remain solvent I must only spend that which I not only can afford but only that which I have. America we should demand no less of those who work for us.

No Comment

My heartfelt prayers to the Kennedy family for their loss. Since my mother raised me to speak well of the deceased I have no comment.

I Need to Confess

I need to confess something. For most of my life I have claimed to be neither democrat nor republican but American. Yet I find myself usually voting for the republican. Since I am trying to confess here let me be honest 99.9% of the time it was a vote for what I considered to be the lesser of the evils. Which brings me to my confession I will no longer vote this way but vote my convictions in this way I can at least feel I have risen above the problem that entraps us.
For anyone who cares, even those who are now watching our every move and calling us names that apply to most of them, this is what a candidate must believe to receive my vote.
First he or she must be willing to work for and accept term limits.
Second he or she must be willing to vote against all deficit spending and promise to work toward retiring our national debt all under a balanced yearly budget.
Third he or she must have shown that they have lived their life as if the accept and believe in and will support the Constitution of the Republic.
Lastly he or she must believe in and trust the American people. They must believe as did our forefathers that our people are our strength and hope, that power must come from the people, who can represent themselves through strong States Rights with a Federal Government limited to only those powers expressly named in the Constitution.
If I cannot find someone who holds these beliefs that I can vote for I pledge to vote out of power all those on my ballot who do not hold with these beliefs.
Would you not join me? Establish your own list of priorities, hold to them under God and take an active stance to rebuild our nation to greatness. Our forefathers warned us of the dangers of career politicians who become entrenched and seek only to insuring they are secure and prosperous.
