How in the World are we ever going to reduce our debt? Right not, our children and many generations in the future are goint to be responsible for our debt? Is that really the right thing to do to our children? Well frankly, I think most of the American people are talking out of both sides of their mouths! Yep, I said it, and I wish we had brave politicians who would say it too.
First off, most of the American people have not really paid attention to what their Representatives have done, and what they are doing now. I will admit though, we are paying much more attention, but the damage has been done. Its that simple. Now it's up to us to make some changes, but I say, we don't mean what we say. They did a survey where even Tea Party voters will tell you not to touch Medicare, Social Security, and a few other huge programs. Well folks, thats a problem. The entitlements are just way out of reach and Baby Boomers will start drawing Social Security, and the race to bankruptcy is on. Let's not forget to mention the countless numbers of people on SSI, which is Social Security's version of Disability. I can't tell you how many people who have barely contributed to Social Security are now drawing from the system. So you say, eliminate those people but unfortunately, we may have the guts to do that but that will not be enough, not even close!
What is really interesting is that most of the voters say that they deserve the Social Security money because they have paid into it all their lives! I am betting you feel the same. Heck, you have paid into a program all your life and now you dont get the money. Is that fair? I say you are talking out of both sides of your mouth! I bet that makes you unhappy, and that you are probably ready to stop reading, and saying I will never read anything he writes again. Well good, now you know how some politicians feel. You say you want honesty but I say you don't!
As a country, we have an unbelievable debt, and we MUST do something about it. We, as citizens, have allowed this to happen by either not paying attention or not caring, and in fact asking for more. We have NOT paid attention to our employees, the politicians, who have used our Nations Credit Card for their whims and our demands. If this were a real life situation with a Corporation we would say that it's the Corporate Leaders faults and that the stock holders better buck up. Well, we are those stock holders, and now its time to buck up. Heck, we have people who virtually own no stock in our country making decisions, and that's another story we can address in the future.
There is no rainy day fund. In fact, our nations credit card is maxed out! Simply put, our nation is broke. We allowed our employees to go crazy with OUR money and now we have to pay the bill. This means huge changes in our lives! Let's see just how many citizens are willing to forego their share of Social Security. Lets see how many citizens are willing to play tough love with the people who are draining our system. We cannot have one without the other. If we don't make these tough decisions, our country will end it's superiority and that is coming closer than we are willing to believe. I certainly would rather be the one in charge, then not being the one in charge. I say we are Americans, and that once we have leaders who we elected are brave enough to convey this message, then we will find if we are willing to do something about it.
Most of all, I look at all our children and see what we are leaving them. I look at my daughter, whose name is Reagan. How can we do this to Reagan! We cannot expect everyone else to do something and to leave ourselves out of the equation. We must demand and accept massive cuts in all spending and this will effect all of us. We may not get what we thought was coming to us, but that's the fault of our generation. Let's do what it takes to leave our kids and grandkids a country we can be proud of before it's too late, if it isn't already!

Tragedy in Arizona: The Left Loves This! Beware!
On Saturday morning in Tuscon, Arizona, some nut decided to gun down a Democrat U.S. Representative. It's truly a sad situation and should be recognized as such. Thankfully, Gabrielle Giffords is still hanging on and of course we all pray for her recovery. Not to be forgotten though, were the deaths of a U.S. Federal Judge, a 9 year old girl, Ms. Gifford's staff worker Gabrielle Giffords, and 3 others.
However, this is when the left is the most dangerous! After the performance of the leftist media, especially Keith Olbermann, we should be on high alert for the powers that be to quieth their opposition. This is utterly disgusting behavior from the left who ALWAYS uses a crisis to push their agenda. Many of the leftist politicians are using this tragedy to advance their agenda, and to quiet their opposition. Of anyone, the leftist politicians and people like Olberman are stirring up vitriol like I have never seen before since the Oklahoma City bombing. They are blaming Fox News and Talk Show Hosts such as Rush, Beck, and the rest for this tragedy. The Sheriff in Arizona, where this happened, was holding a news conference and blaming the radio people and TV people. It almost look like he had talking points that had just been handed to him by the left.
This is totally irresponsible! He didnt blame the shooter! Why is he blaming anyone but the gunman. Obviously, the facts didn't matter in this case except that fact that the left will used the crumbs they can find to blame this on the right, and especially the Tea Party. Personally, I didn't realize I was responsible for some nutcase in Arizona. However, the left will will spend all their time blaming the Tea Party to shut us up.
This is where we come in as Tea Party people, who have worked so hard to push our agenda of much less government and huge cuts in spending. This is where we must stay strong, and not stop our march to our goals. Take my word, you will see a massive move of using this tragedy to further the left's agenda and it will come in many ways. The facts dont matter to the left and never have. This is about pushing the emotion to limits beyond belief. After all, they own the emotional argument and are the experts, but we cannot be governed by emotion. That in itself is why we are where we are today.
My point to this today is to not be frightened by the left. Do not become a pawn of their game. It is too easy to fall into their trap and right now our country needs us more now than ever. Just in this case alone, the shooter isn't responsible, all on the right are. After all, there was a gun, and as we all know, anyone that owns a gun is a nut, according to the left. We must continue to show our strength. After all, we are making great headway in DC, and State and Local politics, and we must continue our very important march towards our goals.
I refuse to allow leftist dictate to me what I want for our country. The Tea Party people are the real patriots of our nation and the last thing we need to do is disappear or weaken. I realize I am repeating myself, but these words need to sink in. Congrats to all Tea Party members for being strong. Help those other Tea Party members who seem to weaken. This is NOT the time to slow anything down. I assure you that the left sure won't. They are putting together an agenda that will do all it can to shut us up. I for one, am not done talking!
One more point. I saw nothing but concern from all Tea Party member for the victims of the shooting in Arizona. After reading the leftist blogs and much of the media, I cannot say the same for them. As usual, the leftist bloggers and their comments were dispicable and were as hateful and as unthinking as I have ever seen. I am glad we didnt go that route. Congrats and many thanks to the good people of the Tea Party!

Don't Fall Asleep Now!
The normal powers that be in government are depending on us right now but it's not for not what we think. Simply put, they want us to fall asleep until the next election cycle. However, isn't that what got us here to begin with? A huge distration now is who to vote for next for the next election. I see them on TV giving us "their" choices of who we get to vote for. So, we have the media and both parties telling us who we get to vote for next and to start thinking about it. It's a brilliant move because most people fall for it and most don't even want to think about it right now. As soon as the General Election was over we got to hear the media tell us all our choices for President in the Republican Primary. Wait a minute, that's two years from now and we are already there? Who whats us to think about that already. Well, both parties do because they sure don't want us watching what they are doing right now!
Well, while we are all beating each other up, digging up former Candidates and Office Holders, the powers that be are making NEW Laws! They sure aren't getting rid of any of the old laws! Are they talking about that? Oh, you can maybe find some of it on TV, but in most cases they sneak up on us because we aren't paying attention. I do believe they call that a distraction. If you notice, some really bizarre things happen and the media jumps all over it. "Oh my God, did you see who in Hollywood broke up." Or, who in Hollywood was sent to rehab for the umpteenth time. For me, the only reason I know the name Lindsey Lohan is because the media brings it up day in and day out, like I really care? If you do, then you need a hobby! That would be if your present hobby isn't following the useless lives of meaningless people in the limelight.
Now don't ask most a political question, because most have no idea who they are, or what their voting record is, except for what that politician wants you to know. I find it fascinating how many Conservative people are running for office when many of their voting records do not reflect what they are proclaiming. Those people are well aware that the voters are simply uninformed and too lazy to check it out themselves. Whats worse is when you point out to a voter of the actual record of a Candidate, and that same voter still believes what the Candidate said on TV over what your research shows. Of course most won't take the time to look it up and that's the shame of it all.
So, it's time to start paying attention to what is really going on. If you can spend as much time learning how many yards Steven Jackson has, or what the completion percentage of Drew Brees is, or one of my favorites, how Princess Diana died and how the new investigation is going, and so on, then you can at least take some time to find out what your Representative is doing when he is taking money from your wallet every single week! In other words, let's pay attention to these people instead of letting them run hog wild and enjoying our employment of them without watching them. Always remember, it's YOUR money!
We are in the process of some major news that will truly bring some help to those of you that don't know where to go for honest assessment of our Politicians. On a personal note, I want our Representatives to answer questions and not just tell us what they want us to know! Too many politicians intimidate us into thinking that they don't have to answer our questions, and that we are supposed to wait for them to tell us what wonderful things they have done for us, at our expense, which they do seem to leave out! So be a good citizen, pay attention, and learn what your Representatives are doing. That's the only way we will get control back of OUR government. After all, this is OUR country, and if you have any care at all as a citizen, parent, or as a good moral person, then it is YOUR responsibility to do your job too! That is of course unless you like the job they are currently doing. How much in debt is our country in now? Think about it!
