Do we really need a government that just doesn't listen to us? Is it time to say NO! to new laws, rules, taxes and fees? Where does it say congress must meet all the time? Would we be better off if we shut it down for a year?
Congress really only needs to pass a annual budget. They really don't do much else worth a hoot. The Texas legislature only meets every two years. It gives us a break from new laws and taxes for a while.

Does Walmart and others promote declining values?
Does Walmart and other retailers support the destruction of American values through their lack of willingness to stop shoplifting? How much is their lack of enforcement costing you and me? The answer appears to be YES and its costing us BILLIONS. Last year Walmart reported that they had lost 3 billion due to theft of products. That's just at Walmart. Most retailers reported losses in the same range for their market share. Given the poor economy I would expect this years losses to be much higher.
How is this happening? Two reasons: 1, Once a shoplifter makes it outside they are safe from store employees trying to detain them. 2, When was the last time they asked you for an ID when making a credit card purchase?
Just a few weeks ago I watched the door alarm go off and the criminal just kept on walking. All the door greeter did was say 'miss, come back'. All she did was flip me off when I shouted 'hey shoplifter come back'. She just kept on walking and the greeter just went back to checking bags of the compliant sheeple. Some retailers have even fired employees who have taken action to stop thieves. I read about one who only went out and got the thief's license plate to give to the police. Why would anyone risk their ability to feed their family for these companies? You and I are also paying the price when the thieves just walk out in higher prices to cover the losses, sales taxes lost and thieves embolden to continue their evil ways.
A couple of weeks ago, while vacationing in Hawaii, I was shocked when asked to produce an ID while making a credit card purchase from a small vendor. This was the first time that I had been asked for ID in a long time. I latter had to do it again at a t-shirt store! What's up with these small stores? Walmart, Target, and Home Depot in Hawaii never hassled me. Could it be that these small stores were tired of the credit card companies charging them back for this bad stolen debt and they are losing to much money? Nah, must be some other racist reason.
This is the promotion of corruption and is a crime against You and me. It cost us in our freedoms. It cost us in tax losses not paid. It cost us in the deterioration of our values and the honest American Way of Life. I say we could reverse this policy by removing the ability of these stores and banks to write off the losses on their corporate taxes. Nothing changes minds quicker than money.

So the Tea Party had a convention.
So the Tea Party had a small convention, or at least one faction did and it finally made the lamestream news stations. I don't think the establishment is taking us for granted anymore. I even see the GOP trying to take us over.
Sarah Palin was the keynote speaker on saturday. I wasn't there so I only got some reports on what she said. I'm sure it was that the tea party members wanted to hear. She is now on the primary campaign trail supporting John McCain in Arizona and Governor Rick Perry in Texas for their re-election bids. You got to love these politicians. Give them a little time and they will slip up. This is why ALL politicians need to be watched like hawks.
John McCain was the last election loser that was so thoroughly rejected by the american conservative electorate for being a left lite RINO. His McCain-Fiengold act outrage was just correctly overturned by the US Supreme Court. Rick Perry tried one of the biggest land grabs in Texas history with the Trans-Texas Corridor project. That would be the huge toll road to be built and operated by a foreign company until the outraged electorate changed his mind. This politician is really quite good and flopping with the political winds.
Some called for the Tea Party movement to form a PAC to support the GOP in electing conservative politicians. Why would we limit ourselves to the GOP? Isn't that what got us here in the first place, blind trust in the GOP? As we proved in the recent election of Scott Brown we can get anyone elected, even in the deep liberal yankee north. If we form a PAC we should support ALL candidates regardless of political affiliation. I for one refuse to be the lapdog of any political party, even the Constitution Party, of which I am an active dues paying member. We should support and vett ALL candidates that meet our beliefs, goals and objectives. Nothing would bring GOP politicians to heel like knowing that we would go outside the GOP to replace them as needed.
The other option is to form our own political party. As long as we can and WILL enforce party discipline I have no real problem with that either. The best way to ensure the politicians toe our line is to have them in our party where we can throw them out if they betray us like so many Republicans have. It would be a requirement to obey our platform or be kicked out of our party and caucus.
I know, I know many have said its to hard to start a party and that it would split the GOP ensuring a democrat win. I say hogwash. It would be a repeat of the history that the GOP would hate to see repeated, as it's their history. In 1854 the republican party was formed by dissatisfied members of the mainstream Whig party. In 1860 the republicans elected their first leader to the presidency, Abraham Lincoln. This was without the benefit of TV, Radio, air travel for campaigning, and Al Gore had yet to invent the internet. The mass means were the telegraph, newspapers, and the iron horse of the rail road. Lincoln didn't even campaign and he wasn't on the ballot in the south. Don't say it can't be done and done quickly.
We need to stop being polite too. Stop letting the GOP take ALL the blame for this depression. It was barney frank and chris dodd that blocked even the lame GOP attempts to reform fannie mae and freddie mac. They swore on a stack of bibles that all was fine and rosey with those institutions that had them in their pockets.
The local Tea Parties need to resist any attempts at a GOP takeover. We need to find local politicians that we can vett and send to the other Tea Parties to help with support. We need to make an example of those who misuse this trust.

Lets Roll!
Well there is no doubt that the Tea Parties are indeed a force in American politics. The democrats called it a fluke when they lost the governorships in New Jersey and Virginia. The loss at Massachusetts flipped them on their collective ears. So what do we do now? I say lets roll on even harder while we have the momentum. Now is not the time to rest on our laurels and wait and see what Sarah Palin and Scott Brown do now.
We need to be very watchful of our gains as we are now in a very dangerous time. The beast in Washington DC is awake and wounded by this ground swell of the people saying NO! It is not something that they are accustomed to hearing. The ruling elite of both parties are seeing a real threat to their base. We still have to push for the candidates that we want in 2010 by the march 2nd primaries. That is a real short time to work on replacing ALL the incumbents that are up for re-election. We also must watch those politicians that claim to support us.
Sarah Palin claims to be a rogue outsider of the GOP. She decided not to go to GOPAC this year but instead will be a keynote speaker at the Tea Party Convention this year. One big atta boy for that! She then comes out and endorses Rick Perry for governor of Texas! One big aw s#!+ for that. Rick Perry IS a politician. His speciality is seeing which way the wind is blowing and going with it. If we could harness the power in his flip flops we could do without a whole lot of wind farms. This is the guy who brought us the Trans-Texas corridor, to be built and toll operated by a spanish contractor, until public outrage killed it. Now he was against it all along. Note to Sarah, we are going against all incumbents. You might consider Debra Medina for your endorsement as she is a maverick like you and not an incumbent from Texas or Washington DC.
Scott Brown owes his seat directly to the effort of Tea Parties all across this nation. They really pulled it together to help him win. Who was the recipient of his first endorsement? John McCain! Are you kidding me? This is the RINO loser who lost to Obama. This is the guy who brought us McCain-Feingold act. Just recently Mr. Brown told the GOP leadership that he would not necessarily follow their leadership. Note to the Tea Parties, this guy is a moderate at best. He needs to be watched like a hawk over the next couple of months.
Obama has proven to be the Tea Parties Best friend. At the State of the Union address he made it clear that it's full speed ahead. Health care, Cap and Trade, Immigration reform are still alive and will be pushed by the democrats for all that they are worth. The biggest crack that we can exploit was Obama's diss to the Supreme Court. With issues like his birth certificate and the constitutionality of these bills it is unwise to piss off those who will decide on them.
We need to keep up if not increase the pressure against the beast of Washington DC. Lets start considering some national strikes. Push the states on nullification legislation. Change your withholding to limit the taxes going in to feed the beast. Support new and fresh candidates for office. We want to un-elect ALL incumbents. Lastly we need to consider becoming a full political party and a force to be reckoned with.

Under what authority?
Under what authority does the pay czar, Kenneth Feinberg, have to tell a private company how much compensation it's employees can receive? Where in the Constitution of the United States of America does this authority exist? When did Congress pass a law giving anyone in the administration this authority?
It is time to wake up folks and smell the burning coffee pot. This act is one of many that must be stopped and overthrown. It can not be allowed to go forward. If this is allowed under the guise of 'we bailed them out so we have the right' we allow it to further expand to everyone. Once a government rule starts it only grows until it covers everyone. That means YOU! Some bureaucrat will soon be telling you how much you can make. Is your job green enough? You might get a raise. Does you company support a favored political class? You might get a raise, just remember to contribute most if not all of it to the favored political class or you might end up with a full pay cut.
This headlong ride into socialism must stop NOW! It is past time to revolt against this overthrow of the United States. This coup must be overthrown by ALL means and its authors tried, convicted for treason, and fully dealt with.
Or you can just say yes master, your servant obeys you master, and go back to sleep.

Despicable conduct.
I have never seen a more despicable act by a president then I saw yesterday. I'm talking about barrak hussein obama's remark about the terrorist attack at Fort Hood on unarmed soldiers and civilians. When channel 2 tuned in bho was halfway through his prepared remarks after a department of the interior conference. I saw this yahoo shout out and wave a greeting to a friend before he finished the remarks off his teleprompter. When this disgrace was done he then said a few kind things about our fallen and wounded soldiers. I see today that he is going to visit Walter Reed Hospital, not the injured in Fort Hood.
Can you imagine GWB finishing a conference and closing remarks, giving a glad hand to Karl Rove, before remarking about the fall of the World Trade towers? Can you imagine GWB not going to the site of the tragedy , but instead going to some downtown with tall buildings, way away from the site to give remarks? Of course not! As much as I dislike GWB for his dismantling of the Constitution He would NEVER do anything so despicable.
This yahoo MUST go before he apologizes for the terrorist need to have killed these soldiers.

Lets start starving the beast.
Here's a couple of ideas to help starve the beast of a government that we have.
As soon as possible change your deductions on your W-4 to the max ALLOWED BY LAW! This will stop the interest free loan that most folks give the government every year when they get money back as a refund for over paying their taxes. On April 15th 2010 you will owe, which is how it should be. If you are getting a refund file as soon as possible. Your not getting any interest and the government may not give it back if they don't want to. Just ask any Californian what happened to their tax refunds last year. When you owe don't pay any sooner than april 14th.
Start withdrawing any EXCESS funds from your savings and turn it into silver or gold American Eagles and hide them somewhere safe, but not in a bank safe deposit box. If the bank closes the door is locked and you can't get your funds until the government examiners look through the banks assets including the vault. You just may find your box empty. Remember to keep your mouth shut that you keep silver or gold around. Should you need it you can go to the bank and convert it back to greenbacks. This will reduce the funds available for the banks to waste.
