The Death of Freedom? Not on my watch.

The economy is on every ones radar right now. You cannot go an hour without hearing about the economy and how it is in a tail spin. You cannot turn on the TV or radio without some kind of bad news about the economy. In fact even when there is some good news (rare as it may seem) it is buried by all the bad news.

This would leave one to believe that we are in the days of the worst economy in history. Or at least the worst economy since the great depression, according to the messiah, President-elect Obama.

Now this brings me to my point of this post. The arrogance of our leaders is astounding. Not one of them (except for President Bush) is touting free markets. Not one of them (again except for President Bush) is talking about less government. No, our leaders are enthralled with the notion that more government, bigger government is the key to all our worries. Big government will fix our problems. Huge government is the answer to the stock market, Detroit auto makers, big banks and the mortgage mess, wall street greed and general "Main Street" economic decline.

How, I ask you, how can more government, more regulation by people who have never run private companies do anything more efficiently than the American people? They have proven though history that they cannot.

But this economy is the perfect vehicle for the "nanny state" proliferaters to take your freedom. They will immerse your business, your company, your employer in red tape. This red tape will eat at profits. This red tape will force people to fire workers. This red tape will force some companies on the edge to go out of business without the hope of being saved.

Oh, but wait, they can be saved only if they let the government take them over, buy them out and then tell them how to run. No, no, no. This is NOT what the Founding Fathers had in mind. This is what the Founding Fathers feared. This is what the Founding Fathers warned us about. They are shouting from their graves via their letters, notes, other writings and the Constitution.

"Government," as stated by Ronald Reagan, "all to often is not the answer. It is the problem."

Now think about this for a minute. There have been huge debates about who is responsible for the mortgage melt down. I think that if you looked at the evidence with an objective eye, you will see that most of the blame falls on the Liberal Democrats. Palosi, Reed, Dodd and even Obama all had a big hand in helping our economy turn on its ear and head for the pits of hell.

Yet these are the same people who are now saying they can FIX the problems of the world. They did this on purpose. They did this to get you to fear. They did this so you would let them take your freedom away from you.

The Liberal Democrats have tried for decades to grow government and take your liberty from you. Most of the time they did not succeed. But then, Democrats can learn from history as well. We now have the perfect storm of history, Democrats and radical ideas coming together. This storm was engineered from the beginning. This storm was planned and executed with precision and malice.

Hitler took the people of Germany down a path they would not have gone if it were not for the fact that the German people were scared to death of what was going to happen to them after first Great War. As things got worse for Germany, the more power Hitler was able to amass. He kept up his rhetoric and fear mongering until things got so bad that the German people gave Hitler exactly what he wanted.

Are we at that cross road now? Is this the storm that the Liberal Democrats have in store for us? You bet your bottom American dollar it is. Look at what they are doing now. Obama has won the White House. He is running around acting like he is already in office. This is unheard of. He does not take control until January 20, 2009 yet he is pushing Bush aside like he was nothing more than table scraps.

He has the audacity to tell a sitting President what he wants that President to do before he takes over. Unheard of.

Nancy and the gang are chomping at the bit to get the chance to investigate, prosecute and jail as many of the Bush team as possible. This is also unheard of. We the people cannot stand for this. This is not justice. This is not fairness. This is not peace. This is not the American way. This IS the new tone that those now in power intend to set.

Mark my words, if we do not stop them here, stop them now, we will not be able to stop them later. They will build momentum and enact laws that will make if hard if not impossible to stop them in the future.

No, America, this is not how a great nation continues to be great. We have a job to do and it won't be easy or pretty. And Obama was right, it will take sacrifice but not the kind of sacrifice that he wants from us. It will take guts, strength, wisdom and gumption that has not been seen on our land since the founding of this great country.

This is YOUR country. It does not belong to Palosi. It does not belong to Reed. It does not belong to Dodd. It does not belong to Frank. It does not belong to Obama. It belongs to YOU and to ME. And that is how the Founding Fathers intended it to be.

Benjamin Franklin said, "Those who give up liberty for security truly deserve neither."

I say you can only have security through liberty. Period.

Freedom is the cry of the oppressed

Some time ago, there was a man who came to us with the vision of freedom and equality for all.

No, I am not talking about Barack Obama. Although you would think that Obama, at first glance, would be a champion of freedom and liberty. But then you hear his words. His words like "spread the wealth around" are not the words of freedom. They are words of oppression.

I am talking about a great man. A man who did not live to see his DREAM become a reality. I am talking about a man who wanted us all to be equal under the laws of God. I am talking about a man who did not raise his fist in anger but in glory and power and peace. I am talking about Martin Luther King. Jr.

He had a dream. I have a dream. Do you have that dream?



Higher taxes are not the result of free men. Spreading the wealth around is not the action of a free man. The Fairness Doctrine is not a doctrine of free men. No, my fellow Americans that is not freedom.

We have gotten to the crest of that Mountain that Dr King envisioned. We have climbed long and hard to reach that mountain top. We have struggled and we have fought. We have suffered injury and casualty yet we still fought and we still climbed. We have overcome many an obstacle. We have fought back oppression and regression. We have stood in the face of evil and beat it back.

But now we come to the mountain top to see our freedom. To realize the dream. Only to have someone for whom that dream was meant, be raised to a position to strip that dream from us. We are so close, yet we are so far. It is as if that mountain was thrust upward another mile into the sky. But yet we will continue that climb.

We will rise above all that which wants to keep us low. We will climb. We will fight for all that is good and just. We will climb. We will have the holy wind of God at our backs even though the evil fire of Satin himself blows in our face. Yes, we will climb. We will climb that mountain. And when we reach that mountain top again, we will not let anyone keep us in the fog. No we will climb to a clear mountain top where the sky is bright and clear and we will see that freedom which all men long for. We will see the freedom that God intended for all men. We will see and fulfill that dream. The dream that Dr. King had. The dream that he passed on to his children. The dream that was given to him by God.

And when that day comes, we as a nation, as a people will sing "We are free at last, Thank God Almighty, we are FREE at last."

The Dangers of the Left again show up in Cali

Proposition 8 in California was approved by a majority of the voters in that state. The proposition is an amendment to the state's Constitution. It states that marriage is the union between one man and one woman and that California will not accept or recognize any union other than that no matter where or when that union took place.

In other words, gay marriage is now illegal in California and it is not just a law, the proposition actually adds an amendment to the Constitution which puts it off limits to activist judges. Or at least that is what those that support this law thought.

It would appear that there are those in California that do not want this law to go into effect. In fact they want to thwart the will of the people by using the courts again.

Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against gay people. In fact I have lots of friends who are gay. Surprising to me is the fact that many of them are not for gay marriage. Which goes to show that gays are not united on this issue as you have been lead to believe.

I for one, know that this nation was based on Judeo/Christian ethics by the Founding Fathers. Even though many of us may not like the idea but it is true, the bible does not allow for the union of a same sex couple. Although you could say that Jesus removed or fulfilled all the Lavitical laws, He did not do so for the 10 Commandments. One of those Commandments states that a man cannot lay or have sex with another man.

Now I will let theologians argue the merits of that issue. The other big issue is that the people of California have spoken. I find it amazing that when a minority thinks they have been wronged, they try and sue the majority. In effect, they hold the majority hostage. That was not the intent of the Constitution of any state or the Federal Government. The Constitutions do have provisions that keep the majority from pounding the minority into oblivion but that does not mean that the minority get to have their way whole sale.

This is how we get stupid laws dictated from the judicial bench. We get a few people who do not like what the majority have voted upon and thus take their losing case to the courts. The courts, in most cases, should toss these law suits out but liberal and activist judges have taken up the causes of the liberal minority and have thrust their rulings upon the majority thus holding the majority hostage.

This actually makes the majority the new minority. So would that mean we, the majority, are now the special protecties of the Constitution? We are being bullied by the minority. They bully us in court. They bully us in the press. And they try and bully us in the voting booth. They threaten to make your vote useless by taking every decision they don't like to a court. Talk about disenfranchised.

The point is this. The people of the state of California have spoken. If there is something you don't like about that vote, then you have the right to move. The Constitution does not give you the right to bully the majority when they do things legally. The courts have no jurisdiction on what can and cannot be added to the Constitution. It is time that some in the minority learn that if they keep fighting the will of the people, that those people will eventually give the minority something far more devastating than they expected.

This happened in California because when the people voted back in 2000 to make marriage between a man and a woman a plain law. The minority took them to court and a court forced something that the majority did not want. So the majority took matters into their hands and decided to do something radical. They decided to amend their Constitution which now makes it much more difficult if not impossible for gays to get their way. Good going to the minority of gays who have now just ruined life for the majority of gays.
