It is clear that the majority (Democrats) in Washington D.C. are not listening to the majority of the American people. We know this, and they do not care. Republicans on the “Hill” seem to have grasped reality in the past year and are listening, most of them anyway. We’ve all heard about the backroom sweetheart deals the President made in trying to pass the health care bill, and I’m sure there are more to come on any legislation he wants passed.

This raises a question; should America start over? Not start over from the beginning with the Declaration and Constitution of course, but start over with a new congress. That being the people in it. And in a rare moment of trying to sound NON- PARTISAN I’m talking about both sides, and that includes the newly elected Scott Brown (R-Mass) who voted right away with Democrats on the “Jobs bill.”

A sweeping movement that would send every incumbent home, with the same message on both sides, “We’re not going to take this anymore!” Now there are some brilliant Republicans that have been fighting tooth and nail against the current administrations power grab. John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Lamar Alexander, Lindsey Graham, to name a few that I personally would like to see stay, But it wouldn’t be fair, If we’re going to start over, we’ve got to start 100% clean.

If you read a little history you would find that it wasn’t always a full time job being a politician.

Politicians used to be farmers and what have you that would spend their time in Washington and then go home to their families and go back to work. Something that helped keep them honest in my humble opinion, at least to some degree, for they would have their constituent’s right there.

I personally would like to see a man enter congress that has calloused hands like mine, someone who knows what its like to break your back and figure out the bills. I think it would be refreshing to have an everyday American step into the house and senate and govern with the experience of having worked for his/her money, and the experience of having been governed by those who have not.

So I am putting the question out there, And would like to hear from the left, center and right on this. I am hoping to have good discussion here on this one, and I think both sides should have plenty to say.

Should America start over?

Beware! The Last Free Outpost, the internet, is under attack!

The government wants to control what you see, watch, read, and buy on the web 

Never mind turning on parental control for your kids, the gov. will have parental control over YOU!

The gov. has been drooling over internet control and censorship for years.

The web is the last place to actually learn true facts. When your kids teacher cuts half the history book out of the classroom, you can always go to the web and find the real truth. Kids go to the web to do their homework, research and write their papers all the time.

This isn’t good for the radical left. The government has control over the schools but not over the web.

If the gov. passes the “Net Neutrality” bill, Kids will get the same half-assed, bias information as they do in the classroom.

Can you imagine if it were mandatory that your homepage be “whitehouse .gov”?

Imagine that the address bar and search bar no longer exist; now you choose from a government approved list of sites. Imagine the fines you’ll pay for non-compliance or the extra federal fees on you cable bill.

How about having to submit your browser history with your taxes every year?

Or applying a “cap and trade” system to your bandwidth or paying an extra tax for going over you monthly download quota?  Sound far fetched? It’s not that far once they get their foot in the door. The door will be wide open.

These are all things that the government dreams about applying to the internet. But make absolutely no mistake, this bill is all about the kids.  I’ve said for a long time now that “kids can get a better education on the web than in the classroom. The radical left knows this! And the radical left is in control of the government right now. “Net Neutrality” is coming if we don’t stop it!

Now that “climate change” is in total meltdown, (because the people learned the facts on the internet) look for this to be Al Gore’s new baby.  Remember, Al Gore “invented” the internet, and now it has destroyed him. He’s pissed!

Wait for this one…..”The internet is killing polar bears!’

Update:  A  N.C. school district is proposing to cut “early American history”(our founding) from middle and high school classes. If they do this, look for other districts around the country to follow.

I wouldn’t be surprised if those classes are replaced with classes called “America’s Mistakes” and “Understanding Middle Eastern Culture”.

Gun ownership at record highs, national crime rate at record lows since the 1960′s.
Remember, the more law abiding citizens with licenses to carry, the less crime. It’s a natural cause and effect. Crime is down the most since the 60′s and gun ownership is way way up! Why? Because criminals with guns are cowards. Most shootings happen in places where guns are not permitted like schools. When is the last time you heard of a shooting at a gun show or an NRA convention or a shooting range or gun shop? Almost Never! Because 10 people would have 15 different weapons pointing at the bastards head!  These places are the safest places to be! Now let’s multiply that safety and spread it out!

The gun is not your enemy! The person holding it is. If I wanted to kill people, I could get behind the wheel of a car and kill 50 times as many people than with a gun. And all it would take is 1 bullet to stop me! 1 bullet to stop the rapist. 1 bullet to stop that guy in the van from taking your kid. And just 1 bullet to stop that radical professor, Amy Bishop, from first killing her brother and then four fellow professors.

The gun control freaks are very similar to the green freaks. They are not out to protect anyone or save anyone’s life. You can put as many facts and statistics in front of their face, it will not matter. They hate guns because they can’t “control” people who can defend themselves! The gun control movement’s agenda is controlling you, not guns. You can see it in every radical left movement or policy. Healthcare control. Climate control. Gun control. Emissions’ control. Nutrition control. And soon Internet control. It’s NOT about controlling the x-Ray machine, the weather, guns, food ingredients, or a computer. These things inadiment or uncontrollable objects. It’s all about controlling me and you, the people. It’s about controlling what people do, when they do it, how they do it, why they do it and how often.  Are you still free, Of course not. We’re barely free now!

A person can hate guns and never want to touch one, that’s fine, I don’t mind. That’s their right. But please don’t take away my right to defend myself and my family and maybe someday even you. One of my favorite sayings is, “If guns kill people, do pens misspell words?” I love that one! By the way, I can kill someone with a pen if I had to! I can also save someone’s life with a pen of I had to. The point is, whether it’s the barrel of a gun or the barrel of a pen, both can save lives and both can take lives. A fire in the fireplace keeps us warm and cozy yet fire kills millions a year. If someone is DWI and kills someone else, do we punish the driver or the car? If someone commits arson, do we punish the arsonist or the fire? If a serial killer dismembers his victims, do we punish the killer or the chainsaw? If someone shoots someone else, do we punish the shooter or the gun?  It’s very easy to become stupid in the world we live in today.

Guns are made out to be so evil and have such a stigma to them, but they are the reason why we are a free people today! They are the ultimate tool of freedom. This is why people are so passionate about their guns.  Here’s a personal story to enlighten some of the people out there about gun ownership and the license process. Just to be considered for a license I had to fill out a 5 page application in copies of 3, including everything on a job application PLUS- every crime, misdemeanor and traffic ticket ever committed, including any cases that were sealed or dismissed. A printout of my DMV report. A signed waiver for the FBI to look at my medical history and mental history. Every job I ever held. Every school I ever attended and every address I ever lived at. A copy of my birth certificate. Any and all medication I take or ever took. 3 passport photos of my face taken within 6 months. List all tattoos and scares on my body. Have four non family, non law enforcement, references that I’ve known for more than 1 year, fill out character reference forms and write a short essay about me, each of them signing before a notary public. After about a month of getting my application together, I sign everything in front a notary. I then take my app. to police headquarters where I pay $97 for 3 sets of fingerprints and a $200 app. Fee. All non refundable even if denied. I then waited a full 12 months for local, state and federal authorities to investigate me from the day I was born to the day I handed in the application. If one thing I wrote did not match, I would be denied. (Any DWI, any felony or any domestic incident or mental history, ever, don’t even bother). Finally I got my license. I go back to police HQ to get a purchase document good for 10 days. Then I go to the gun dealer, pick my favorite gun, $700 (that’s mid-price). I then go back to police HQ with my gun to have it registered and added to my license and demonstrate safe handling. I won’t bore you further with the voluntary safety and self defense training. My license status is a matter of public record.  My license and gun is revokable at any time for any reason. If my license is revoked, they take my gun or gun’s, no questions asked.  I have to renew my license and be checked every five years. If I change my address I have to notify P.D. Within 10 days. If I get traffic ticket anywhere in the country, the pistol bureau is immediately notified for review. If for any reason the police are called to my house for a domestic dispute, even if the call is “unfounded”, goodbye license, goodbye guns. By law, I must carry concealed. If I’m carrying and I reach up to grab something off a shelf, bend down to put air in my tire or the wind blows my jacket open and someone see my gun, my license can be revoked for “unnecessary display of a weapon”. If my gun is stolen (never gonna happen) and it’s used in a crime, I could be charged with “failing to safeguard a weapon”. Now If I were me, I wouldn’t mind at all having me for a neighbor. Talk about law abiding, you’ll never meet anyone more law abiding than a gun owner. Now you can understand why gun owners are so passionate, so defensive. We are constantly under attack and defending ourselves and our rights against ignorant, ill-informed people. Do we need more regulations, laws and fees put upon us? This is our second amendment right! Look what we already have to go through. Look at the fine line we have to walk. If the gov. comes to take my guns, they take my liberty at the same time! So the next time some anti-gun freak whines about more laws, rules, and regulation, try not to laugh at their ignorance and just shrug them off!

Q: How can I support the Second Amendment?

A: Support the NRA. Member or not, gun owner or not.

Q: where can I learn the facts?

A: At any of these links.

On your last post you said we are in war with the left. What are the Left? I will give my definition and look to see if you will add to it, correct it, or agree with it. I will start my history at the turn of the century for this definition. A leftist believed that the government should be there to help all individuals maintain their freedom to live by supplying many social economic programs for the less fortunate and elderly. At the time, we had large amounts of European immigration from many less fortunate and oppressed individuals. These programs started Unions, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, etc. It all led to the creation of the income tax, (something had to support these programs). Now as time went by, so did the social economic diversification in America. Especially in the last 30 Years. Although the country is not perfect, unfortunately it never will be, in the last 30 years we have seen a true melting pot in social economics. There is still a large division between upper class and middle class, but the separation between middle class and lower class has shrunk. The Racial and Sexual economic discrimination inside these classes have diminished. Now we know that SS, Medicare and Medicaid are on the brink of bankruptcy, (understatement), but these as well as unions themselves are separating the middle class from the upper class. Actually creating road blocks from people jumping into other classes. To make it worse, expansion of social economic programs, (Leftists agenda) will make it nearly impossible for one to jump into another class, aka “accomplish the American dream”. So racism and sexism in the workforce is declining, but their will be two classes in the near future whose discrimination will hit all time highs, the are the Have and the Have Nots. It order to eliminate this, you need let people take chances, make mistakes with ramifications, learn and grow and create, not control. Government should guide their children (citizens), not control them. Leftist agenda’s are based on a beautiful Utopian theory, but realistically they are just chaining down the American people. This is my view and maybe I am wrong, so Justin and others, please Educate Me!!!

This excerpt from a New York Times online article on Feb. 20, 2010 called

(The New Poor) inspired this post. The excerpt reads:

“Call them the new poor: people long accustomed to the comforts of middle-class life who are now relying on public assistance for the first time in their lives — potentially for years to come.”

If you want to know what “economic justice” means, This Is It! President Obama has called the American people “arrogant”. He has said that we’ve been “living beyond our means for many years”. This single excerpt from the Times exemplifies two of Obama’s biggest objectives.

One, to spread economic justice, which means to bring everybody “down” to the same level, poor.  Some people may ask, why not bring everybody “up” to the same level? 

This brings us to his second objective. Obama wants the American people to be “dependant” on the government, a welfare state. This way, the government will have control over the people so the things people “need” can be rationed. This way, the stupid people don’t live beyond their means according to government.

This quote fron the Times is Obama’s quintessential goal.

One important thing to remember though, the government is incapable of making money. The working people support the government and all of its policies.  This will mean that the few rich will support the vast poor, which can never work. The rich will no longer be rich. Ahh!….Justice! This “does” work for Obama’s agenda. This is called economic justice. Remember, we’ve been living beyond our means for so long, it’s time to knock us down. It’s time to humble the arrogant, greedy American citizens. When Obama cries “Equality”, He means everybody equally poor, equally controlled.

Ladies and Gentlemen , I would like to introduce something a little different today. Below is an e-mail thread of a small debate/argument with a Liberal. After this I came up with a brilliant idea! For my brain is always working. Today I will introduce “Laugh at a Liberal.” Something I will be doing once a month from now on. I will search high and low for these Liberals and will deliver the much needed laugh we all need in these woeful times. As you read I will be commenting here and there between the responses. Just imagine my soft voice guiding you through a safari. Please enjoy.

Ok, this first e-mail is a direct response to my article “the great Depender.”It was sent to her by a friend of mine.

 Notice the contempt she holds for all “racist Republicans, Middle America, and Long Islanders?” And how it all comes down to race. Or how she assumes that all conservative/republicans watch FOXNEWS? This Liberal happens to live in Queens N.Y. It seems it has been a while since she looked at a map. Queens is on Long Island.

Do you have health care? Do you pay too much for it? When u get sick will they still cover you? And how about our troops… Obama is burning all the crops (heroin) in Afghanistan that r funding the terrorists- his ideas were once other politicians ideas including republicans (healthcare reform was first a republican idea) but now that Obama is for it it’s a horrible idea- a socialists idea- a Nazi idea!!! Ridiculous!!!!  

 I have searched for this “burning of crops” and have come up empty handed. But I will continue to do so. 

 Again she brings the main point to “race.” Now below is my first reply.It was not my intention to put my personal life out there, but when it comes to being labeled as a “racist” I take a deep personal offense. So I did. 

Justin Grecco February 16 at 7:48pm  

 As for Long Island….. Where do you live???????? The five boroughs and long island are DEMOCRATIC!!!!!!!!!!! In fact the last conservative/republican to win New York State was Ronald Reagan.
You really don’t know your stuff! 

 First of all why are u taking this so personal- I was replying on a general leek not to YOU personally! I got this message from Tracy not YOU! And I don’t care how many black friends u have- I’m not even going to sink to ur level to rebut the rest of the same ‘ol same ‘ol argument u just made- food for thought it’s a debate not a fight!!! Relax or better yet why don’t u make a Obama/ Hitler poster and go join the tea baggers! 

 Notice how after she is informed of my race relations, it is MY level she will not sink to. I believe it was her level; she did say it all comes down to race right? Also notice the term “Tea baggers” that liberals use for the conservative movement. An attempt to discredit it by using some vile sexual term. so eloquent and classy. Also notice how she does not attempt to address any of the facts I presented.

Some people really have no business sharing their ignorance, because it makes me feel dumber just reading it. The only thing that Obama has done for this country is … oh wait, I can’t think of anything.

This is where she starts to feel silly.  

 Not really, “And it all comes down to race. But they are too ashamed to admit it so they keep repeating the same MADE UP nonsense until enough ppl buy it…” that is what you wrote. Your words not mine. Sorry, but I think this one goes to me. Conservatives 1 – Fascists 0 

Honestly, I don’t get very involved in politics. Not because I don’t care or I’m not interested but because as a single mother of two young children, I already have plenty on my plate. Politics can get very heavy and become an ugly burden. I’ll read up on certain things here and there and I keep up with it as much as I can but I keep it light.  Bottom line, I just don’t have the energy to spear for it.

With that being said,  I am so incredibly PISSED at the Obama administration for even CONSIDERING, not only to have these terrorists tried in my beautiful city of New York, but in civilian court? Really? We are going to give these animals the same rights as a basic thug who decided to knock over the local bodega down the block? You’ve got to be KIDDING me!  We have seen ENOUGH of these bastards and have suffered enough because of them.

New Yorkers still face the pain every day from what those terrorists did to our city. Tore down our buildings along with our parents, sisters, brothers, spouses, children, grandchildren and friends. The people that have been left here to deal with the pain of losing their loved ones on that day live with it day in and day out. We all still have to continue to get on NYC trains to get to our jobs and not a day goes by that we don’t think about what could happen underground. “Will today be the day?” Don’t get me wrong, I do what I have to do and I live my life. I haven’t let those bastards win by living my life in fear. But the thought is present every day.

And then we have Eric Holder saying that terrorists are NOT war criminals. Seriously? So basically they are on the same level as some jerk that runs off with your bag as you’re walking home from the store? Yeah right! Here, let’s give Abdulmutallab Miranda rights and a lawyer. He’ll be tried right after the thug who got away with your grandmother’s $200 SSI check! I ask you, is that the right thing to do? I say absolutely not!

So these terrorists now have the same rights as American citizens? Never mind our freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc…etc… What about our right as HUMAN BEINGS to live our lives and be prosperous? Did these terrorists give the almost 3,000 people they killed on September 11, 2001 that right? I think not!

I am absolutely disgusted by this whole thing. And let me tell you, it is a sad, sad day when you realize that your President and his administration has let you down.
