My Rant

Posted on Saturday, November 21, 2009 11:06:16 PM by LTC.Ret

It's time.

No, I am not some crazy fringe lunatic. I am one of the most law abiding citizens around. I don't even have any moving traffic violations ever, in 40 years of driving, only a ticket once in college for an unnoticed (by me) expired inspection sticker. Never drank, never smoked, never tried drugs. I am the LAST person anyone would expect to say NO, NO MORE, NO WAY!!!

But it's time.

I served my country voluntarily for 31 years, and did my level best to give back to the Army and my soldiers more than they gave me. I have been awarded and decorated. I have served under Democrats and Republicans alike, with never a single disciplinary strike against me.

But it's time.

I started my small business from scratch and have provided jobs for lots of people along the way. I serve on the Chamber of Commerce and other civic organizations, and spent 18 years working with a nonprofit. I have dedicated myself to improving my community and making a positive impact, NOT making waves.

But it's time, and I CHOOSE LIBERTY.

If the powers that be in Washington can make law-and-order ME so uncomfortable with the direction they are taking that I am thinking of civil disobedience, then they don't know how close they are to a civil upheaval of the masses.

I will be the next "Rosa Parks", if that's what it takes. I will say NO, NO MORE, NO WAY!!! The government has NO RIGHT to MAKE me buy health insurance. The government has NO RIGHT to FINE me or JAIL me for NOT BUYING health insurance. Perhaps if people see government injustice happening to me so undeservedly, while standing up for my Constitutional rights, then they will be rallied to rise up and reclaim our government with freedom and liberty guaranteed once again.

It is time for me to ask my state to give serious consideration to SECESSION if the unconstitutional Washington power grab can not be stopped NOW. I will be on the phone Monday talking to everyone who will listen to try to get that started.

It is time to TAKE AWAY the voting rights of anyone who is not directly paying income/property taxes, so that all voters will have "skin in the game" as they say.

If you are a PRODUCER who WORKS for a living, move here to this state and WELCOME. If you are a TAKER --- GO AWAY!!! It's time to CULL THE HERD!!! Too many have taken advantage of this nation's largess for far too long.

We need to do away with WELFARE and other entitlements in this state and others, so that it will be a good place once again for PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY to grow and flourish. If someone isn't working and is in need, they had better hope they are attending a CHURCH or have FAMILY/friends that are willing to help them out, because it is NOT government's job to do it and we need to STOP it NOW!!!

It's time we stop government by bribery and prostitution:

Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., asked Madam Mary Landrieu of Louisiana if she would do IT for a 100 MILLION dollars.

Madam Landrieu of Louisiana replied "YES", she would do IT for a 100 MILLION dollars.

So Reid asked Madam Landrieu if she would do IT for one MILLION dollars.

Madam Landrieu replied, "What kind of a woman do you think I am?"

Reid answered, "We've already established that, now we're just negotiating the price!"

Madam Landrieu, you were bought and paid for, so don't quibble and blame others for the label you earned! And she wasn't the only one. But it wasn't even Majority Leader Harry Reid's money --- it was MY money and YOUR money that Harry Reid bought her with, and WE didn't get anything for that cash!!!

It needs to STOP here and now. We get LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS --- and NOTHING ELSE. No More FREE RIDES!!!

Speak the TRUTH. No more political correctness. If you can't handle the TRUTH --- TOUGH. Find some other country to ruin, but I want my USA back!!!

"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country" --- NEVER TRUER!!!
