Mind Numbed Robot

I was asked last week why I write about Obama and the current crop of lunatics running the country. I answered her at the time and got that glazed look that says "So? And your point is?" She said "I vote. That's my voice. What else can I do?" To which I replied simply "You don't get it, do you?" No, I guess not.

She didn't.

I didn't feel like I could enlighten her at the moment so, after the meeting, I was back at my office and decided to write a quick letter to try to explain to the uninitiated what drives me. It truly amazes me that someone can read what is on these pages and not understand why I do it.

The following is the letter and the link I sent to her:

I’ve been thinking about your question earlier. I don’t think I answered it to my satisfaction.

If you want to know why I blog or write about these things, Here is the bottom line. I love the ideas of the Founders. I love freedom and liberty and I know we are losing them. I want to lend a voice to the thousands/millions of others who wish to stop what is discussed in this article. It’s not the absolute best article I’ve found but it is does reference some law professors who agree that if these guys aren’t stopped, our country is quite probably doomed. They are setting precedent that will have future consequences impacting individual property and liberty. In other words, every aspect of your life.

That doesn’t scare you? It does me. And it makes me mad that I see it happening on such a large scale here. It makes me angrier to see liberals who gloat over the destruction of the very thing that enables their prosperity, the Constitution. Activism is needed. Not just at the ballot box. I know for some that is all they feel they can do. I happen to think they are wrong. The more I learn, the more I feel it is our duty as Americans to be informed about our country so as to defend it from these types of attacks. We’ve been asleep and inattentive as is needed by the form of government the founders set up for us. It requires our involvement.

I’ve had this conversation before and what I always find myself saying over and over again is: If I didn’t think I could change it, I would still do it because it’s what I feel I must do as an American.

Call me what you will, but I’m not crazy. These people are more power hungry than most realize. I don’t wish for anyone to live under oligarchy and I hate aristocracy. Both of those paths are tyrannical and often lead to dictatorships. For anyone to think it couldn’t happen here is, to me, not as aware as they should be. History does repeat itself.

I look at it this way, the left owns 90% of the main stream media. Bloggers are a part of the opposition to that misinformation. I’m proud to be a part of that opposition and have fun doing it most of the time. Believe me, sometimes I wish I was ignorant to what is happening. Ignorance may in fact be bliss, but now that I know some of it, now that I’ve gone down the rabbit hole as they say, I want to see it all and I might as well share it with whomever would listen.

OK, I’ll go back to work now boss,

God Bless.

FYI Boss, I posted this on my time, ;-)

     The United States is under siege. Make no mistake. The progressives / statists are not coming. They are here, behind our lines, already in the fight. They have impersonated the elected officials we voted for and stand ready to destroy our Constitution.
    The enemy launches attack after salvo after attack at our liberties. They play parlor tricks with class envy and condemn capitalism while distracting us from the slow erosion of our god given, inalienable rights: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness. Where men's governments are concerned there are no other entitlements but these.
     Wise men wrote those words. Wiser than I to be sure, and I respect the common sense and wisdom employed to arrive at their conclusions. I have read and am reading their letters, notes and manuscripts. They should be required reading for every United States Citizen. The current administration does not respect
those beliefs, in law or action. Obama, Reid, Pelosi and their ilk are busy setting fire to those beliefs.
     We are barraged daily with so many uncountable, unaccountable, unconstitutional, incomprehensible bailouts and takeovers and czars and executive and legislative and judiciary misfits that our heads are spinning from the onslaught. Yet these progressives have only begun. They want to own, and / or run the banks, the oil companies, the health care providers and the insurance companies! Then they want to continue to indoctrinate our children with this socialist / communist drivel! It has been happening for years, but it must be stopped! Please, God I pray that Obama and his cronies not be allowed to pass any legislation. Period. Amen.
     Conservatives and Libertarians, we must stand fast. We must be resolute. We must see through the smoke and mirrors. Our representatives need to understand that if they ignore us they will not be re-elected. Nothing they want can get turned into law. We must keep up the fight. The Tea Parties and Town Meetings are the trenches and we are winning this skirmish. Fifteen months from now will be a battle like has not been seen in the USA for a century or more. The progressives will have smelled victory only to be disappointed. This will anger them to no end. They will then press on with more intimidation like we have seen during the last few months. Indeed, since before the election. Do not be afraid. We must keep up the fight for Liberty. We must advance from the trenches to replace the imposters with true patriots. We The People have been lapse. Apathetic. You know it’s true. Apathy must change to activism. Patriotism.
     We must choose new representatives. We must, by careful evaluation, check that they truly represent "We the People" because we send them to a den of thieves. The new representatives must retain their honor in the face of much corruption.
     The new representatives are your friends and neighbors. They are outspoken but don't hold aspirations for office. These are the citizen soldiers. They are the "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington's".
     Public office should not be a free ticket for the rest of one's life. The elitist mentality must end. Like it or not, term limits should be required and an inevitable consequence of term limits is more people pushed to public service. That being written, we should prepare and educate ourselves, and our children to be mindful of politicians, and for the possibility of public office. "With great power comes great responsibility." Therefore, as the people in charge of the government, we must exercise that responsibility. More vigilance will be necessary. Current events obviously dictate why.
     Coming to the end of this battle (and this post), let's not be satisfied to merely beat back this onslaught. This is just one battle in an ongoing fight. Thomas Jefferson said: "Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny."
     I believe that we must repeal and revise almost a century of New World doctrine if we are to survive as The United States of America. In order to meet this challenge, we must teach our children the Founding Principles. That hard work is a source of pride and accomplishment, and that wealth and respect are not to be envied but earned.
