This parties getting interesting.

I think this Tea Party idea has taken hold. Parties are springing up all over like prairie wild flower blooms in the spring. Most major cities are having one on the 15th of April. Nothing like a tax protest on national tax day. I'm going to host one as well.

I'm going to be in Austin Texas at the capitol steps on the 15th under my banner of 'One Angry Taxpayer'. This is not and will not have anything to with the Constitution Party. My local county party can't provide support for political reasons. I can't provide a better reason as I don't have one.

I ask you to be a 'One Angry Taxpayer' as well and join me in Austin, or be one on your capitol building as well. This protest needs to be at your capitol building if you can make it. We need to do this at the capitol for several reasons.

1. Time is short. Our 'leaders' in congress are moving at warp speed in Washington DC to implement the socialist takeover of America. They are not listening to us in small voices.

2. The dilution effect. Many small parties all over the state in towns and cities are easy to ignore. Time is short and we need a large visible party to be seen in the national news. Lets get as many folks as possible together in one spot.

3. Its where our state politicians are. Most legislatures are in session now and for them April 15th is a work day. Lets show up where they work. They need to see we are angry, not hear about it from some staffer at the home office, which may not be in your town.

With the exception of Texas, Alaska, and maybe California most folks can get to their capitol in an easy half a days travel. With our Governor and state reps there, I want them to see me and I want to see them. I will be gathering signatures on two petitions. One will be for the legislature to enforce the 10th amendment on states sovereignty. The other will be calling on the governor to reign in our state delegation in Washington DC.. Any one who votes for a bill they haven't read, like the latest 'stimulus' bill doesn't represent anyone.

I hope to see you there or on the news.

No Morale Authority

Our national leaders no longer have any morale authority to lead. They all recently passed on a spending bill without reading it. The neo-socialist democrats all said it was to important to delay. This 1100+ page bill was put out to our 'leaders' desks less than 24 hours before it was voted on. None of then stated that they had read the whole bill. I bet they only read the parts that dealt with the pork that they wanted in the bill. No other heavy reading is needed as long as you got yours in the bill. It's all good after that.

President obama proved he lied when it took him several days to sign the bill after it passed. President obama said he needed it now. He had a temper tantrum when the republicans didn't just sign off on it like his cronies did. He said they were not working in a bipartisan way. Excuse me but all republican proposals were rejected outright by his socialist democrats.

The republicans showed a surprising amount of back bone in standing firm against this bill. Except for three RINO's all of them rejected this bill. Too bad they didn't do that years ago, they might still be in power. Now if they would start purging their party of all the rino's people might start believing in them. This will not happen of course. This is why all of the politicians in washington must go. None of them can be trusted.

There are now calls for tea parties, as in the "Boston Tea Party" back in revolutionary times. Yesterday and today these rallies are being held around this nation. This is due to the details starting to come out to the public. A few governors are publicly rejecting this bill due to the strings attached to the money. Maybe the leftist press and these socialist politicians will pay attention and repent. I'm not going to hold my breath. They will just dismiss this as rhetoric of the bitter, bible believing, gun totting folks in flyover country. Just pass a few more stimulus bills and we will go away.

They can't be more wrong. History shows that socialism fails every time. Socialist however have never met a history lesson that they can't re-write. The only real question is will they be thrown out in 2010 and 2012, or will we descend into more despair and fracture as a republic. Given that the republicans can't be trusted to lead if in power I'm not real hopeful. Will we unite under a third party and throw the bums out? I've done my part and changed parties. Will you?

How evil is the left?

Yesterday, I got a lesson on just how evil the left really is. As many of you know I work as a paramedic in a hospital. I was taking a pregnant woman up to the labor and delivery floor. As we walked down the halls her husband complained that they had waited at LBJ hospital for four hours after being triaged and they had not been taken to L & D. LBJ is one of the county hospitals in Harris county Texas. He then espoused on how great the free medical care in Canada was. I tried to explain to him that nothing is free and waiting for months for medical test and surgery is not great. Canadians with the cash or insurance regularly come to the United States instead of waiting. As I was leaving after dropping her off he said it was so great that doctors made house calls to weed out people who didn't need to go to the hospital. I told him there wasn't enough doctors to make house calls for 300 million americans. His reply was that they should. I said doctors were not slaves. Thats when he said, "well, they should be".

Well, they should be? How bad has America gotten that what was once the most respected of professions are now to be enslaved? I am all for people getting good health care, but enslaving doctors and all medical staff? I don't think so! You and I have the right to health care, but we also have the duty to pay for it. I don't have to pay for your care. I am a free man, just like all the other 300 million plus american citizens. No one has the right to enslave another so they don't have to pay what they owe. No one has the right to put a gun to my head and say give me your money. That's called armed robbery. When the government does it it's called taxes.

This is what's wrong with the left and the entitlement class that they have created. They think they have the right to enslave others to do their will or fulfill their needs. This is why socialism is just plain evil. Now we are faced with what happens when folks forget their history. The left is prepared to enslave others all in the name of their needs. The former Republican party freed the slaves. The Democratic party formed the KKK to suppress the former slaves. The democrats then formed the entitlement class with the New Deal and the Great Society programs.

Now the socialist now have control of the government. The Republicans lost because they tried to become democrat lite to appeal to the entitlement class. They didn't point out as the economy tanked that the democrats implemented the policies that led to the foreclosure crisis. When the republicans made a weak attempt to reign in the spending it was the democrats that blocked it. The rest is history and you and I are paying for it.
