"You supported Barack Obama in 2008. Why? Did you miss something?"
Last night on Hannity, that question was asked of Daniel Hannan, Member of European Parliament,who has been very critical of the policies of the U.S. government these last three years. He maintains that America is just a few years behind Europe in the financial crisis, just a few years behind Greece. Mr. Hannan is very conservative fiscally. Why did he support Barack Obama in 2008? Did he miss something?
"Part of that was I was incredibly underwhelmed by the Republican Party by the end of 2008. They had become a party of big spending, big deficits, bailouts, nationalizations. So I thought, how much worse can it get? Well, I had no idea how much worse it could get." ARE YOU LISTENING, REPUBLICANS? Mr Hannan says that one reason Obama won in 2008 was because the Republican Party was UNDERWHELMING. That is a very kind, British way of saying the Republican Party had nothing to offer different from Barack Obama. The Republican Party and the Democrat Party are birds of the same feather. Maybe there is a difference in the colors of the feathers, but they are the same species, "RULING CLASS", a class unto themselves, separate from the rest of the country. The Republicans are not really different from the Democrats, except the Republicans may not be so bold, so intense. They are just a mild form of the Democrats, Democrat-lite. In some ways, that makes them even worse than the Democrats, because they hide behind the skirts of the Democrats and then expect the voters to support them. What a crock!
Republicans, if you want the support of the grassroots movement, you better come out from behind the skirts of the Democrats. If you don't, the grassroots movement will move on without you, indeed opposed to you. Is that what you want? Stop supporting big government! Stop supporting government regulations for our lives! Stop using government to force your agenda down the throats of the American people! SHRINK GOVERNMENT!

Disapproval Process
Do you know that the in this bill just passed to raise the debt limit Congress included a statement that give BO the authority to raise the debt limit whenever and however he wants UNLESS Congress DISAPPROVES? This is called the "disapproval process." It is found on page 30 section 301 of the bill.
The Congress does this with anything they consider too hot for them to handle. They just turn it over to some bureaucrat. That way they can avoid having to vote on or even debate the question. It will take place automatically unless Congress disapproves. That way they can hide under the guise that they still maintain control when what they have really done is abdicated their control. BO can raise it anytime he wishes and any amount he wishes without ever letting anyone know.
Congress has done exactly the same with their pay. They passed a law some time ago that states their pay will automatically be raised unless Congress disapproves. How would you like to have your pay increase unless you disapprove? You see, that way they do not have to subject themselves to the embarrassing process of debating the pay raise. And so no one is aware of the raise unless they become aggressive and search for it. That is the "disapproval process."
That is why so many are jumping up and down and screaming whenever the grassroots freedom movement (GFM) starts asking questions. We are threatening their gravy train---automatic pay raises while shirking all their responsibilities. What the GFM is asking for is for Congress to take on their responsibilities. And members of Congress are screaming bloody murder, calling the GFM terrorists simply because the GFM wants Congress to take their responsibilities seriously.
Imagine what that says about those members of Congress that won election in '10 because of the awesome support of the GFM and then stabbed the GFM in the back by voting for this debt limit increase that goes on without end. Talk about traitors. No wonder the GFM is starting to have questions about some they supported previously. Indeed, anyone of the GFM that did not have questions about these back-stabbers would be fools.
Well, what do we do? We keep substituting others into the lineup until we find those who will do what is right and good for the country. That may take many elections but so be it. We cannot give up, because if we do we, like the back-stabbers, will be letting our country go right down the toilet. We must keep working for those we believe will do what is right. Then, if they fail us, as some will, we move on to some one else. We keep trying different parts until the parts work as they should. It is a very slow process, but at least this process is moving in the right direction unlike the Congress and executive and even the judicial branches are now heading.
WE HAVE OUR WORK CUT OUT FOR US. GO GFM!!!!!

The Brushfires Of Freedom
"It does not require a majority to prevail...but a tireless, irate minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." (Sam Adams) What is even more exciting is "freedom only needs to be started; slavery needs to be enforced." That is what scares the Progressives. The Tea Party is a brush fire and it is spreading like wild fire. They are working their tails off trying to put out this brush fire, but there is so much timber for this fire, it is getting out of control.
Isn't it interesting that the opponents of the Tea Party, the grassroots freedom movement, try to remind us that America and our founding fathers used to have slavery. That fact is true, but what the Progressives are saying is that the grassroots freedom movement (GFM) is not perfect. "See, their history has slavery in it which needed to be removed." Ah yes, that is correct. And removed it was.
But you do not see or hear anyone saying: "There was freedom in your past which needed to be corrected." No, everyone wants to be on the side of freedom. People flock to this country because it is the freest in the world. Nor do you ever hear it said: "There you finally got rid of that freedom."
What is really sad is that the Progressives are trying to enslave us again. Oh, they have not used the military yet, but they do use the IRS with its 16,000 new double barreled shotguns. They use government overspending to enslave us under horrendous debt. Reminds me of the "company towns" that were used to enslave mine workers---raise the prices of every necessary item so that the workers could not get away---they were always in debt. They use fear tactics: "What will you do if the government does not give you your welfare and Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid?...The USA economy will fail if we refuse to raise the debt limit." They raise taxes so that none of us can grow and succeed because if we do we will be a threat to their centralized planning, their Nazi/socialist state. They use guilt by accusing the GFM of not caring for the poor since the GFM does not want the government to cram wealth redistribution down the throats of the people through taxes and welfare. "The Tea Party is a bunch of hard hearted, gun-toting thugs," the Progressives say. (That sounds like a description of our present government, doesn't it? Can you say "projective identification"?)
So what do we do? We keep setting brushfires of freedom. Freedom is the desire of every human heart.
No one desires slavery, if they are given a choice. Slavery, whether by government or by individuals, has to enforced; it does not grow from the heart. It only grows in the hearts of people who want power, people who consider themselves much more intelligent than those who deserve slavery, people who have been trained at the Ivy-League schools which makes them superior to the rest of us. A person kidnapped and raped does not say: "I want more of that." A person robbed at the point of a gun (our government?) says: "Please, give me more of that robbery stuff." A person being shot by a gun does not say: "Please, shoot me again." Only mentally deranged people set free from prison say: "Please, imprison me again."
So, you see, what we need to do is to keeping the fires of freedom burning. There is plenty of "timber/brush" out there that will catch on fire and even though the Progressives may stem its spread, it will keep burning either out in the open in a wild fire or smoldering under cover waiting for another opportunity to flash into the open.
Man, that is kind of terrifying, isn't it? An explosive wild fire is just waiting to burst out into the open. Of course, it is only terrifying to the Progressives, those who do want freedom for themselves (note the exemptions the Congress/government gives itself and its friends/supporters whenever it passes a new law or regulation), but do not want freedom for the rest of us. Watch out, Progressives! The more pressure you put on the smoldering freedom fire, the more ferocious it will be each time it bursts into the open air.
For the rest of us (the GFM), it is not terrifying, but exciting and exhilarating! What a time to be alive! We are in a fight that promises freedom/real life to people world-wide. Keep up the good fight GFM!!!!
