I have a very liberal young friend who voted for Obama...the last two years he made record income and so did I...but I knew the Obama and Dem win meant they would do all the wrong things. So I went Galt....I took a job that is less taxing, less financially rewarding...but more stable and safe...and I told him to do the same. He thought and still thinks it is all Bush's fault like no one else worked in the govt for the last 16 years...sigh. He said tonight I should not blame the current Congress and Obama...it is all the fault of the previous president. Well he didn't listen and doesn't still...and he tried to stay in the old market as a contractor and has worked 7 weeks all year and is hurting...but he is still convinced they are right and I am wrong. Why can they not see the insanity going on...? <shaking head>
I will pass this on to my daytona beach group....however, I will be at the gun show in deland trying to make a few more converts....we are one ... remember...I have just begun to fight..and friends...I smell blood in the water. The numbers show it...the health care bill is losing support....Obama is losing support...the Congress is losing support....let's keep up the pressure, we are making a difference day by day.
If you will permit me to post the end of this work of fiction ...which has inspired me half my life and many others I am sure...it is one of the finest speeches in Shakespeare's Henry the Fifth:
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
Let us all remember this and make the extra effort to be there on 9-12... goodnight and God bless.
I won't back down...you can stand me up at the gates of hell...but I won't back down. Oh, Johnny...even as an old man...you wrote a good song. We should march up to the capitol singing...I won't back down...I stand my ground...yeah Johnny. I have not had enough motivation to lose the weight I need to....today, I think I found it. I need to lose the weight because I want to be able to stand tall...all of my 5'3"...years. I will be at the 911 memorial at the pentagon...I hope you are all there with me. I am going to all the war memorials that day and leaving behind flowers for the good men and women who fought for our freedoms...and one stop I am making is at the grave of my uncle in Arlington...he rests just behind the unknowns in a very special space...and I am so proud his son Lt. Col. Paul Griffith...is going to be marrying my daughter. I am proud of every man and woman who ever served and many is the day I cursed the fear that held me back when the Marines came on campus and asked this math major to stand and be counted...maybe it is time to make up in some small way. I am reminded of Shakespeare...
By the way, I am bringing copies of the Constitution to hand out in DC...they don't know what it looks like there...hope others are bringing them too.
courage brother you do not walk alone...we shall walk with you...and sing, your spirit home... I am listening to old favorites of Craven Spirit and a thought just popped into my head...they want to enslave us in socialism's chains...or at the least a fascist regime. We all know that the normal news media is not reporting the muslim terrorism conference in Chicago...this is all a theme...they will tolerate a totalitarian idea by our enemies...but not a message of liberty by God-fearing, generous Christians. So...perhaps we need to think of some symbols to carry on 912...to remind them who we are...I don't think that means tea bags. Part of me is tempted to ask a group to go to Disney and get plastic chains in the Pirates area...and join ourselves with the chains of oppression...but then, I don't believe that anyone should ever by word or deed show any acceptance of oppression. So tell me...what symbols...say, we are one...in our spirit, one in our belief in liberty and the greatness of America...I am thinking perhaps I am going to sew up a colonial dress for myself...and embody the spirit of 1776. But, I would love to hear from you.
Okay, this is an appeal from one concerned conservative to the rest of you. I want everyone who sees this...to get everyone they know, to wear black on the 4th in mourning and anger for the loss of our liberties, our rights, our voice in congress (deliberately little), worst of all the poor mangled, wounded and bleeding Constitution. I want everyone to express their outrage by wearing black whether you go to a tea party or not. I would love it if you would put a pin or something on that says...something about this anger. I am debating carrying a small casket for our country which they are killing...but for now I am thinking it is on life support and hanging in there...express your anger. If all of you spread the word to a dozen more...we can be millions strong in black...what do you say...does the idea sound good...if it does...join me!
I would love to see a sea of people in black that day, at the tea parties, at the grocery, in front of city hall...black, many with signs...stop killing my country.... come on...let's get it in gear...we have a few days and can still pull it off.
I have proposed this to Glenn Beck and I guess I am one of thousands...but I have an idea. How many of us say...why are people not in the streets. Why is there apathy? I do think that people are so busy that many are not informing themselves and mainstream media is saying pay no attention to those crazy people over there. But, not everyone can go to a tea party or some other protest.
So, I was thinking, how do we make a statement we are mad as heck, that we mourn our lost liberty, that we think they are out of control and shredding the Constitution...in a way that everyone who knows what is going on can see? On the fourth of July a lot will be wearing red, white, and blue. I have nothing against a flag pin, scarf, hat, or tie. But how about we show our anger and our mourning for this country's loss...by wearing black and limiting our red, white, and blue to a few small symbols. Those in black will be able to see others who share their dismay ...just a silent statement of our concern. If by some chance, we got millions and millions to do it...Think of the statement that would make ...I am curious how others feel.
I am feeling so frustrated tonight. I have tried hard to lead. I am not a leader, but I put myself out there to create a local group and work hard to maintain the meetup.com site and work on flyers and get business cards to help us spread the word. I set up study groups and people say they are coming..but then don't. It is hard to keep up my spirits when it seems that no one cares we are rushing toward the cliff and about to fail as a country. I want to cry sometimes when I think how little people seem to even pay attention...or how even those who know this is wrong, don't seem to want to do anything. Our founders were giants compared to the men and women I see in government or in our political parties today...but we are dying by apathy...and Pravda is right...Capitalism is dying without a whimper.
