Comments Too Extreme? Perhaps...

I received some significant feedback from yesterdays blog that my comments and opinions may have been too extreme and even overboard. Perhaps, yet I do not apologize for my comments. I just don't know what it is going to take to get people involved and willing to take action to regain control of our country and our government. For too many years, the majority wishes have been ignored and brushed off as unimportant and meaningless. Our politicians and "progressive" idealists have treated us like we just don't know any better and it is their job, their right even, to drag us into their ideological world. I believe the Republicans at times have been just as guilty of this as the Democrats. I have been, more times than not, just as disillusioned by the Republicans as I have the Democrats. Though a registered Republican, I have probably been a registered Democrat for more years than a Republican (many of my younger years I spent as a Democrat - at least on paper). I am a registered Republican so I am allowed to vote in primary elections; however, I do not believe I have ever voted strict party lines in any election. I am fed up with being the "silent majority". I think more appropriately, those of us with common points of view, are the silenced majority. Our way of thinking just does not fit in with the progressives and we need to be kept quiet and in our place. We just don't know any better and we need to be shown the light by the progressives. I am not and never have been committed to either party's ideology. Instead I am a simple conservative. I believe in conservative, responsible fiscal policy; smaller government; strong individual entrepreneurial innovation, growth and development; lower taxes; a strong national defense; free market capitalism; and a government responsive to majority opinion that works for the people, not for whom the people work.

Everything in our country seems to be upside down and our eventual demise of the country we love seems inevitable. Over the past eleven months, we have experienced the greatest increase in the size of government and the greatest increase in spending and national debt than in any other time in our history. Politicians are blatantly ignoring the wishes of the majority and are pushing their personal and party ideologies down our throats. In essence we are told to sit down, be quiet, accept what is because they know best. Every minor faction in our country has more rights and more protection than the Judeo Christians who still comprise the majority in this country. We no longer have a voice. We cannot even celebrate Christmas or use the terminology Christmas season for fear of offending some faction or another. Yet the Judeo Christian majority comes under constant attack and criticism from all corners of the political spectrum. What have we become America? The progressives want to remove "In God We Trust" from our currency. We have already lost the right to express our religious views in any public forum and even our flag is under attack by the righteous and self-serving progressives. Yes. I blame both Republicans and Democrats for where we are. Who has truly stood up for us, the majority, over the past thirty years? Ronald Regan had us on the right path and we allowed our gains to be summarily destroyed at the end of his presidency. Shame on us America! Our children cannot say the pledge of allegiance in school; our children cannot pray nor show any religious symbols in our schools; yet, they are being taught, no brainwashed, about diversity, tolerance, homosexuality, the false science of climate change, and on and on and on. Who have we become America? What is our heritage? What fundamental policies have historically made our country great? Why are we running as fast and as far away from our fundamental beliefs as a nation as we can? From where did we come America? Do you remember? Do you care? How many lives over our history have been sacrificed to allow us to thrive as a nation? Are you really willing to allow all those who have sacrificed their lives for our country to have given the ultimate sacrifice in vain? I am not America and I just can't believe you are either. We are so conditioned to be victims we are not sure how to react or even if we can. We can America and we must! Failure to act will only result in loosing more of our rights, more of our freedoms, more of our opportunities! Why are you so accepting America? Three brave and courageous Marines are currently in the process of being court marshaled because when they risked their lives to capture a terrorist responsible for the killing of four Black Water contractors, the terrorist had a "fat lip". Who are you America? In what do you truly believe and are you finally willing to stand up and fight for it? We must America!

America you have to remember. You have to remember 9/11 and live and re-live all of the pain and devastation. Never put it out of your mind America! This is what we are fighting against. The terrorists have not changed or become more moderate. The terrorists want exactly the same thing today they wanted on 9/11: To destroy you, your way of life, your family, your freedoms, your opportunities, your religious beliefs, your country. What is an American? Do you, America, want your politicians to succumb to the terrorists and recognize their legitimacy? Do you want your government and your politicians to continue to take away your rights and your beliefs while all the time blaming you, America, for the behavior of the terrorists? Do you want to sit back America and be told lies about climate change so the government and the politicians can further their personal and political ideologies? Do you want to pay more in taxes America than you bring home to support government expansion and growth? Do you want your children and grandchildren America to pay for extravagant and unchecked spending by your elected officials today? Do you want to stand up America and take back your country and bring it back to the greatness it once was? The time for decision is now. The time for action is now. If we, America, allow this to continue because we are paralyzed and unwilling to act, we will have no one to blame but ourselves. Remember a time in the distant past America, before political correctness, when the individual was accountable for their actions, beliefs and behaviors. Remember a time in the distant past America when one of our underlying principals was personal responsibility. It is up to you America not the politicians to make the changes you want. It is up to you America, each and every individual, to stand up and say NO MORE! Even though "no" is now politically incorrect, particularly if you are saying no to the progressives, use it America. Stand up and simply say NO! This is not the country I love. This is not the right direction for our country. NO! I do not want to live under international law. NO! The terrorists are not victims. We are at war for our very existence. NO! I do not want the government and the politicians punishing our brave soldiers for doing their jobs and doing it very well. NO! I will not tolerate any more government expansion. NO! I will not tolerate any more government spending we cannot support. It is up to you America. What have we become America? Who have we become America? From where did we come America? Why are you so accepting America? Who are you America? And for each and every one of us in our personal time and space; who are you?
