Waking up and Overcoming Disappointment

Nebraska looking at the poll results …deep sigh….looks like the ho hum Nebraska nice status quo is what this state wants… Guess we now have a shot at 1st place in the race to worst state for taxes.

Disappointed is the nicest word I can think of…… Back to work I have millions of federal and state programs to pay for ..

… Has liberty and the pursuit of happiness completely been killed off?? Are we so blind that we can’t see the dirty two party system not only fails us but ruins the chance at a bright future for our children? Seriously not only disappointed at the results, but the numbers, it’s your duty to vote, no excuses to not. I will aspire to wake up tomorrow with the thought the battle may be lost but the war is not over. When will you join in the fight to reclaim our God given rights and liberties? Or will you be content to leave your children with the debts they can never repay, with the loss of freedoms, happiness and a chance to be all that they can and want to be. I implore those who can wake up and join us before we all end up facing the fate of the masses that have gone before us, always thinking it cannot get worse, later weeping and wailing as they try to explain to their offspring that they never knew it would get this bad. It can it will if you do not take the time to get involved, the powers that be are insuring it through elections such as this.

If we continue on as we do with a few people getting involved, even less voting we are sealing our fate. It just takes 1 action by each person to turn this around. Are our kids not worth our best efforts? Social media, letters to elected officials, letters to editors, showing up at meetings, heeding the call to speak out and be heard at our capitals…take your pick do one and help us help ourselves, our children our future.

Am I Alice? Is this Wonderland?

Just when I feel as if the view of our world, our nation cannot possibly get any more skewed, I open up the paper and read an report with comments from Democratic Senator Keith Ellison of Minnesota.  Mr. Ellison claims that Americans should embrace working less, and that in working less hours we will have more time with our families, the ability to eat dinner at our dining room tables and the ability to cook at home and not worry about grabbing take out in our rush home in the evenings.

I had to sit and ponder, have I slipped through a rabbit hole? A worm hole?  Does he believe this nonsense he is spouting? Does the public believe this crap being shoved down our throat?  If so your children and my children will look back and ponder at the madness that we are allowing ourselves to be duped by.

Less hours at work will mean very little to the family who sits down to a barren empty dinner table.  Retiring when working and living paycheck to paycheck is but a fleeting vision for many American households.  Increasing your public welfare programs, the largest which is the Ponzi scheme of Obamacare, and the increasing tax burdens being place on Americans backs leads me to agree with Mr. Ellison on one thing. That yes Americans will have less working hours and more hours to sit and wonder how it all went so wrong, thoughts of what we once had, and what we now need, food for our families, a good paying job that brings self worth and pride, creature comforts, home ownership, you know all the little things that are being stripped from Americans on a daily basis, the lists go on and on. Oh the hours we will have free to dwell on those things. 

The criminals and fools who will continue to bleat out this propaganda should be ashamed. The remainder of the elected officials who sit quietly while pretending to faintly bleat out small protests and continue to feed off the conservative voting base, you will also be held responsible.  Prepare to join all the happy folk who love not working more hours who love sitting back and thinking of what was.  I see your future and it looks UNEMPLOYED.

 

Republican Democrat American Citizen WAKE up NOTICE

The working Americans complacency has come to an end. Regardless of which side of the political spectrum you sit on.  With no end in sight, the administration has gone from irritating, irresponsible to unstable, and clearly offensive and delusional if not treasonous.  Stating that people should be happy that they no longer will be stuck in jobs they weren’t happy with is not only offensive but absurd.

Both parties Republican and Democrat have been complicit in letting this rogue administration run wild, and for both to sit silent after the sitting President states he clearly needs neither of you to approve or enact his agenda, is highly suspicious.

We have been led down a road of compromise, promises of a brighter tomorrow only to have people slowly begin awakening to the sorrows that are here today and that will soon be facing us all tomorrow.

You were elected to represent us, the working class Americans, not to rule us.  Not to subject us to unconstitutional, irrational, and abusive programs that further burden working American men and women. You are both party to the erosion of our rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  You happily and greedily dig thru our pockets, our homes, our lives to further your own gain while releasing said plunder in spurts to those who abuse the very system given to them by fraud, misuse and misunderstanding.

You cannot talk about jobs when the administration who cannot be trusted who lies at every turn, says that 2.5 million jobs will be lost, but that’s fine and dandy and those who lose said jobs should be happy.  This number is most likely grossly underestimated, due to the lies and misleading information that the administration frequently releases. 

You cannot talk about campaigns and donations both financially, spiritually and physically when the American working man and woman are being taxed to death and literally taxed beyond death.

I ask you who are in office, you who are running to be elected, are you man or woman enough to be uncorrupted, to quit handling the political office as a business, a corrupt business at that, and to run for what this office was intended to be a helpmate and guard of the American people, to further us as a nation among nations, rather than the joke heard round the world.

This is your interview and we the people are listening. What are you going to different, because as it stands now, most of you need to be dismissed from this job, and possibly brought to trial.  You ask for our vote, I am asking for your allegiance, your allegiance to the Constitution of These United States and to the people, not to corporations, not to fellow politicians on either side of the aisle, but to us.

Anything other then your complete devotion to the  Constitution and to its tax burdened people is not only offensive but could be considered criminal. 

What will you do to improve my outlook, my children’s futures and the future of this United States of America?  From where I sit now the future looks grim and the majority of you are receiving a failing grade or review.  We want you on board with us or we want you gone.  Take your pick.  America is re-awakening.

Post note to Americans:  you like your football, Nascar, fashion shows, groceries, fun, games, personal space, computers and more? then get up off your hind ends and start showing you care and that you want a prosperous future, if you do not then I hope you know your are a part of the problem and you are allowing the ruling leaders to decide what and when your children will be anything if anything.  We few who constantly work at holding our elected officials responsible cannot do this with out you.  You too must show up at meetings, the meetings big and small, local, state and federal, you must not only write letters, twitter, Facebook.  You cannot whine and complain to others,  you must be part of the solution and not the complacent problem, you are part of the problem if you do nothing, you are a politicians best friend, someone they can tax, subject and made to obey their every whim.  Please help us help you.

Super Bowl game VS the next Big Game

So while many people are preparing for this Sunday’s Super Bowl, I have been sitting and reflecting on the next Big Game that’s coming up, this year’s elections.

Did you know that in 2012 167 million people tuned in and spent hours watching the Super Bowl.  In comparison the 2008 Presidential election garnered the interest of a whopping 131 million voters, of whom some were dead, voting multiple times, and voting illegally.

Those facts alone cause me to just cringe when people starting talking about the Big Game.  I know they are not talking about any election that will impact their lives in every which way, but they are talking about a game that will have no impact whatsoever in improving my life or anyone else’s.

Something else that makes me cringe?  The word Republican…   see I can snicker and laugh at the word Democrat, I either take them seriously or depending on who they are I don’t.  However say Republican and I like many many many others I can’t laugh. I can barely hold back a sneer.  I had actively been Republican and supported the GOP since the age of 10.  And then approximately 5 years ago I resigned membership from the GOP and became an Independent.  I have been disappointed, discouraged and betrayed way to many times to continue throwing any time, money or effort on a party that was not only ineffective but actively betraying its own base.

Why do I write all this…well because I have a small smidgeon of hope that the party can be reclaimed from the Republicrats and become the party it was intended to be.  A party that has spawned numerous tea party, independent and libertarian groups who were able to meet on common grounds and whom fled and are continuing to flee from the broken, outright disgraceful party we today know, or should I say don’t know and don’t recognize.  

My hope is for candidates and officials such as Ted Cruz, are you career Republicans and Republican candidates even paying attention to what is going on around you??  How many of you would have stood next to Ted Cruz as he fought for the American people, his voters and the voters in other states who begged someone, anyone to stand up and fight the tyranny that is the unconstitutional mandate that is Obamacare.  WE WANT MORE Teds’ not traitors, not compromise, not one more tax, not one more cut to the military men and women who are serving, no more sacrificing our children to common core, no more Medicaid expansion, advertising of a US Food Stamp program on foreign soil.  Not one more betrayal of the conservative value we all hold so dear.

And if you don’t believe me, and if you don’t want my help, just look at Ted Cruz’s fundraising totals.  Forget big corporation donations, forget the dyed in wool old time party member who still has money to throw at you, look instead at his donors of less than $100.00, 41,000 of them.  30,000 of the 41,000 are first time donors!!!!   Are you even close to this.  I can almost guarantee that of those 41,000 people many of them could barely afford to donate the $100.00 or less, but in seeing the words and ACTIONS of Ted Cruz they saw hope, they see hope and this is why I can hope he will remain in his elected capacity. However for any man to stand as strongly as he had against opponents not across the aisle, but against the opponents in his own party brings me to another point.

Most likely the Republican party lives or dies in the next few elections, if it even makes it past the upcoming election.  To turn the party around you must regain former Republicans trust,  as well as any money they can afford to donate, and believe you me we don’t have much.  There are 5 voter categories that I wont even get into now, but know this you only have 1 of those categories sown up.  If you want the rest its going to be an uphill battle, a battle I would like to help with, in hopes that a few good men and women can help save what was once a great American party.  But you need us, you need me and remember you work for us, its not the other way around. 

You want to win, let me know, it can be done.  Or continue on the path the party has chosen and most likely Republicans of my lifetime will not be remembered fondly, if they are remembered at all.

 

I end with my favorite quote by Jefferson ” The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”

Where do you think we are and how, Nebraska Candidates, any and all nationwide candidates what do you say to that quote?? The one question I ask every politician I meet: ” Why should I ever tell or teach my children to work?? GIVE ME A REASON!!! (keep in mind by my very actions they will work, however I am starting to question why, honest to God why they should, so they can pay the tax man, have less, have more pay taken and given away, blown away, wasted and then what, die of a heart attack from working so hard in dismay and disgust?????)

Anyone want to answer let me know. Want to win, the hearts and minds, as well as the pocket book ( tiny as they are) of the middle class, let me know, find me, it can be done, although you have left it a little late….. its not too late, the Big Game is almost here.
