    Well done!

    I live in Jefferson’s home town. Monticello is right up on the hill overlooking the town. The town is a cesspool of leftists, Marxists, statists, and freeloaders. What a shame.

    Great Michelle …

    Thanks for that … :smile:

    I am surprised there hasn’t been a major earthquake as a direct result of all the founding fathers constantly turning over in their graves from all of this nonsense in DC …

    So many brave men and women have given their all for this country for over 200 years only to have this corrupt administration and its minions try to tear it all down in a matter of months …

    Simply losing an election and removing them from power is not enough for this treasonous lot currently in control of Washington …

    We have now seen a great new theme song. Every tea party should have this just blaring loud and clear.
    Thanks to those who produced this. Fox will pick this up.

    It is a crying shame that so few of our people really know the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, Federalist and Anti Federalist Papers and our history. We see it here on this blog
    “Living Constitution”, Evolving Understanding, New Rights–all code words for tyranny.
    The schools are somewhat to blame I am sure-but a lot of it has to do with pure laziness, “gimme” and other forms of sloth.

    Much like that song “If it Feels Good Do it”–cowards all. Scum such as Barney Frank depend on weaklings and cowards to hold power. If you do NOT have a pocket copy of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution

    print a copy
    Here

    and

    Here

    or just buy one at Amazon or such.

    What is left to love? How far will we be pushed?

    Isn’t it amazing those that are destroying the Constitution are the ones that swore an oath to protect it.I wonder if in my life time I will ever see the voters wake up and do the right thing.

    Moderate Taliban “LUV” Obama – - NOT!

    In the Wall Street Journal today:

    Pakistani Taliban Leader Vows Attack on Washington

    …Mr. Mehsud’s claim of credit added to the fears that militant violence which has engulfed much of northwestern Pakistan is now spreading to the nuclear-armed country’s eastern heartland, Punjab. The province had until recently been spared much of the violence, although some of Pakistan’s most potent Islamic militant groups originated in the region and still draw recruits from its poor, rural villages.

    Mr. Mehsud, the 35-year-old supreme commander of the Tehrik-e-Taliban, known as the Pakistan Taliban, also signaled that he may be seeking to widen the scope of his fight beyond Pakistan.

    “Soon we will launch an attack in Washington that will amaze everyone in the world,” he said in separate remarks to the Associated Press.

    Nope – not as long as *shudder* people like lgm are educating them.

    What we are going to see, I’m afraid, is an all-out revolution – the kind where people are killed for a principle. More heroes and martyrs.

    fortunately all 535 of them are all hat and no cattle. they will pass laws all day long to show the peasants they are doing something, but they won’t enforce anything, so it’s merely a suggestion. like pay your taxes, get rid of your assault rifles, keep funding the permanent welfare class, don’t take those jobs oversees.

    Some of my wealthy liberal friends have become more outraged now, than I have ever seen them. What strikes me as funny though, is why.

    Is it because of the recent actions taken by the Democrats in both houses, including Obama? Barney Frank? Chris Dodd? Pelosi? Reid? No.

    It’s because I (a strong conservative) have been predicting what was going to happen under liberal domination in the government, and they’ve had to admit that I was “right on.” It just galls them that a conservative could be right about anything!

    Funny, too, is that they are still willing to give Obama a chance to see if his ideas work out. Huh?

    By the way, 3 of these 4 friends are trust fund babies who inherited their wealth from hard working fathers. And, so like many others with a liberal entitlement mindset, they have no concept of what “hard work” means.

    Michelle, thank you for posting that. I loved it. I love my country and what it really stands for. This blog is the BEST! Major Tea Party Theme. John Rich (of Big & Rich) spoke of our founders having UNCOMMON SENSE. There’s a song there, too. I’ll write it if he doesn’t! APRIL 15th…. we take back our country… Let’s Roll!!!

    Yes, everything the founders warned of is coming true:

    We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude.

    The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.

    Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals — that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government — that it is not a charter _for_ government power, but a charter of the citizen’s protection _against_ the government. – Ayn Rand

    ”Give me American Idol or give me death!”

    Sad but true, and a bunch of them are in Congress :(

    But that “an attack in Washington that will amaze everyone in the world” sounds interesting–I bet it makes America’s Home Videos. There is a neat little coffee shop in DC I hope survives it, for the rest? 2 minutes of silence after I scream myself hoarse.

    Or is that “attack in Washington” merely Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi b!tch slapping each other again? Cindy McKinny is back?

    If Mehsud, or any other enemy wanted to crush American prosperity without crashing a planr or firing a shot, what would he do differently from what Obama, Geithner, Reid, and Pelosi are already doing?

    Nah, it’s still bad. All the free parking lots downtown that we once had are either parking garages or completely built up. And the traffic has gotten worse too.

    Michelle,
    Thanks for linking that. I think the title on your page needs to be corrected, though. What I heard was “Heaven help [singular] the fools who legislate our rights away,” as in “They need help due to their incompetence.” “Heaven helps…” suggests something else altogether, as we know most of the Democratic-controlled legislature already believes they’re doing God’s work.
    Thanks.

    The reaction to the oboman-antics is growing. The political leadership is fragmenting and fighting each other for power. The answer lies with the hard-working silent majority who had better vote overwhelmingly to reject the politics of international socialism and to return to the constitution.
