What I absolutely did not envision was how divisive and absolutely devoid of any redeeming qualities the current administration would be. Administration would only cast these doubts on the President, and my contemptuous view of government includes Congress and our state governments, inept at doing most anything constructive at the moment. Apparently I was not alone in these thoughts, as I witnessed first hand at a Tea Party event in Sacramento.
But folks, the governing class just don't seem to get it...and again i am not alone in thinking that, since today I stumbled upon this online:
We elected you on a promise of hope and change. You've disappointed us. In 2010, we are taking the country back. Blue collar democrats, independents, and conservatives. We love our country. We are proud of our founders. And we will fight to protect our traditions. We don't want your revolution.
Here is the video on the same blog:
PS. from YouTube
;"This video..is powerful. It hit me hard. It echoes the sentiment that many of us have been dealing with over the past year.
Originally created by the former YouTube user "buckrush", this video has been repeatedly attacked by Obots and removed by YouTube several times.
.Many have been called racists and have received threats for putting this video up.
My name is obvious, it's not too hard to find out where I live..so if you want to threaten me- I Say, Bring It.Maybe YouTube will take this video down..Bookmark it to see how long it stays up and monitor the view count. Download this video and upload it to your own account to show you've had enough.. if you don't know how to download YT videos, you can download the entire video at my website link below.

Excellent post!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't think the video is all that effective and I don't see why YouTube would be concern over its content. It is true that most of America either brought into the razzle dazzle, or the racism coercion. Then again there were those like myself that could see the truth. I am not surprised at the outcome, I expected it. I had some hope that Obama would be removed from office, but when it was proved that the courts were in his corner, all hope was lost. The courts even stated that Americans have no standing to protect their Constitution from those who would see its demise. That was a very sad day indeed, because without protection in the courts, we are truly lost.
ReplyDeletePolitics as usual. Whoever is behind this video is obviously a Republican.
ReplyDeleteGovernment is a necessary evil. It is both necessary and evil. Question authority. You are an American. This is not a Republican versus Democrat issue. It is a politician versus people issue. It is about integrity and statesmenship. Statesmen is a word that is never heard any more.
The problem is that there are no leaders worth a tinker's damn on either side of the aisle. The problems are enormous and NO ONE in Washington knows what to do about them really. And if they did I am not sure they would anyway.
I would encourage Republicans to do everything in thier power to require the current elected government to account to Americans for it's actions. I would encourage every Democrat to require the current elected government to account for it's actions. Get it?
It is not the government's America. It is our America.
The People in a Democracy are ultmately our governors through representation. This is a great power of American Democracy. With great power comes great responsibility.
We have become a nation of sheep. We take revenge every four years by voting but do nothing in between elections.
DO SOMETHING BETWEEN ELECTIONS.
That is Your responsibility. The highest office in a Democracy is the office of Citizen. It is also the greatest responsiblity.
I agree with this statement.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome : )
ReplyDeleteWell said Jerome. It would help immensely if people would turn off the damn "reality shows" and GET REAL THEMSELVES. Learn how government works...learn the basic divide in political theory...collectivism and individualism. Learn The difference between socialism and capitalism. Our lives and the lives of our children and all future generations hang on what WE choose to do...or NOT to do.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that America will wake up before it is too late. It is time to end the dominance of the one party system know as Democrat-Republican. We had other choices during the last presidential campaign, let's wake up America and let them know they have choices!
