Do Democrats Really Want To Share Credit With Republicans On Good Ideas?

What is your honest answer to this question?  The Democrats don't need any help from Republicans in the House to get anything passed.  The Democrats in the Senate don't need any help from the Republicans to get a big majority of the votes.

The facts are that the Democrats have all the votes they need to pass ANY bill they want to pass.  After it is passed they have a Democrat President to sign that bill.

WHY then are Democrats working so hard to attempt to get Republicans on board?  They want their ideas.  Hardly?  Did Ms. Pelosi give the Republicans any chance to put their ideas into the bill?  You know the answer to that.

So if this Pork Package is such a good bill and will work so good, then why worry about getting Republicans on board?  Is it because the Democrats want to make sure the Republicans also get credit for this great bill?  You know the answer to that too.

The Democrats are afraid and aren't confident that this Pork Package will work.  They want Republicans on board so if it doesn't work they will be able to say it wasn't only them.

The facts are this.  If a few Republicans come on board and this Pork Package is a success the Republicans won't get credit for it.  If it isn't a success then they will get the blame for it.  So if a bad idea won't get you credit if it turns out good, then why put yourself up to take part of the blame?

It is time for Conservative Republicans to take a stand and it is time for Pretend Republicans like Arlan Specter and Ms. Collins to change parties or take a hike because they are Republicans in name ONLY.

Use a little common sense.  The Democrats DON'T need Republicans to get bills passed.  Then WHY if their ideas and bill is so good are they trying so hard to get Republicans on board?  It is for cover.

How smart are the Real Conservative Republicans?  I guess we will find out.

Do Republicans Really Want To Be In Power?

What kind of question is this you may ask?  The problem was that they wanted to stay in power so bad that they stopped governing the way they were elected to govern.  They weren't thrown out of office because they governed with conservative values BUT because they didn't govern with those values.

It appeared that the republicans were more concerned about getting along and going along with democrats then to govern with the values that got them elected in the first place.  Now they want to change things yet the leadership is the same.  When the conservative republicans truly want to be back in power, then they will change their leadership.

Maybe then we can believe them when they say they learned their lesson and will govern with the conservative values they had campaigned on.  If conservative republicans want to regain power then they need to be conservative and not compromise those values to gain favor with the press or democrats.  Those groups don't want them in power anyway.

At least the House Republicans stood up for conservative values and the people when  everyone of them voted against the Pork Package Obama and Pelosi is trying to force down everyone's throats.

Now the Senate is trying to come to an agreement on the Pork Package.  Two so called Republicans have come on board.  Ms. Collins and Mr. Specter.  I believe Mr. Specter will be up for re-election soon.  The last time he had a tough battle to get his parties nomination.  Getting on board with this Pock Package may very well cost him his parties nomination.  I for one will not forget this.

Remember last fall when the TARP bill HAD to be passed.  When it finally passed look what has happened.  NOW this one really has to pass.

If Republicans really want to be in power again then they need to stand together and oppose this pork package.  This won't work and will only makes things worse.  Why put your name on it?

A Chance To Be A Great President


Without a doubt history was made last night in our great country.  Great things can come from that night if only one person decides he WILL BE the President for all of us.  The power is in President-Elect Obama's hands.

If he makes the decision to be everyone's President, there are some people that he will have to go against.  The very same people that helped get him elected, but to truly be America's President he will have to do that.  With his margin of victory he has the power to do that if only he will take it.

Nancy Pelosi doesn't represent main street America.  She represents San Francisco.  San Francisco isn't main street America.  Harry Reid doesn't represent main street America.  Neither does Chris Dodd, Barney Frank or Charlie Rangle.

President-Elect Obama can not represent main street America or be a great President if he listens too and or follows their advice and lead.  Right now he has the power and he doesn't HAVE too.  It he does it is because he WANTS too.

People have asked for a change.  Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Frank, and Rangle aren't change and aren't new.  They will attempt to drag him as far left as possible.  If he allows that, he can't and won't be President of all of the people.

The vicious way politics have become with attempting to destroy the opposition no matter what has gotten completely out of hand.  President-Elect Obama truly has the chance and the power to change that.  Not by attempting to destroy common citizens like Joe The Plumber, but by saying enough is enough.  By him demanding people in his party STOP it.  He has that power right now.  It will mean putting a leash on Pelosi and Reid and the like, but right now he has the power to do that.

President-Elect Obama has the chance to be a Great President, but only if he TRULY puts party politics aside and think and do what is TRULY best for the country and her people.  He has the power and we should give him the chance to prove himself.

As we give him that chance it is not too turn a blind eye to what he is doing or to whose advice he is taking.  Let us hope he does make a Great President, but let us not fear to speak out when he isn't preforming for Main Street America.

Good Luck President-Elect Obama, may your actions be as great as your words.  Don't forget you are representing the ones who didn't vote for you also.

The Truth Has Been Shown


It is less then 24 hours before the election of 2008 will take place.  If you love this country and if you love the freedom you have in this country, you may want to read this.

Everyone is caught up in this election and it's importance.   So many have picked sides and there is no changing their minds.  It is time for change and nothing less is acceptable.

Let us just for a while try to use a little common sense and actually think for a few minutes on our own, without being influenced by the media and such that are in the tank for a candidate.

First,  Change just for the sake of change is not always the best thing to happen.  Remember this.  Now remember Joe The Plumber.

Barack Obama always talks the words of helping the middle class and lower then middle class people.  Obama says the words about helping these people each and every day, many times a day.  Just Words?

Here is where the common sense comes in.  Obama speaks these words, but remember the saying "actions speak louder then words"?  What actions did Obama take with Joe The Plumber?

Barack Obama came to Joe The Plumber's neighborhood and his house as he was canvassing the neighborhood.  All Joe The Plumber did was ask Obama a question and followed up on Obama's answer.

This issue that came around because of Joe The Plumber's question had nothing to do with Joe The Plumber and everything to do with Barack Obama's answer.

Yet Barack Obama, Joe Biden and the people that speak for them attempted to make it about Joe The Plumber.  They made fun of him and tried to demean him.  Supporters of Obama have even run back ground checks on Joe The Plumber.  And Barack Obama ALLOWED it.

It wouldn't matter if Joe The Plumber was an ax murderer, that isn't the issue.  Yet Obama and his crew are and have tried to make that the issue.  Trying to discredit Joe The Plumber.  Yet all Joe did was ask a question in his neighborhood that Obama was visiting.  That is all he did.  The ISSUE was the ANSWER, or at least should have been.  Yet Obama and his supporters wanted to make Joe The Plumber the issue.  WHY?

So using common sense if Barack Obama will go after and ALLOW his people to go after a common middle class person that ONLY asked a question, then what will he do TO you?

The FACTS ARE Obama and his machine went after a TRUE middle class citizen that ONLY asked a question.  Is this the SAME Obama that will stand and fight for the middle class?  Is this the SAME Obama that will help the middle class.  Would you want the help he tried to give Joe The Plumber?  A true member of the middle class that has dreams of doing better.

Obama is a socialist and maybe worse.  Don't get so caught up in the words calling for change that you don't hear what he is really saying and not saying.  Use some common sense then just think for a minute what Obama and his machine did to a simple middle class person that only asked a question from his neighborhood that Obama was visiting.  Obama came to him, and after Obama's true thoughts came out in his answer, Obama and his machine attempted to destroy the middle class American citizen that only asked a question.

That is a fact and that IS an action, not just words.  Obama proved and showed what he would do to anyone that gets in his way.

All I can say is BEWARE and THINK before it is too late.

Remember Partial Birth and Remember Birth Certificate.

  And remember what Patrick Henry said;   "I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging the future but by the past."

Also by Patrick Henry; "It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope"



"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men,
undergo the fatigues of supporting it."

-- Thomas Paine (The Crisis, no. 4, 11 September 1777)


"Our hope will become the light that will shine the way to pave the road for our children.  The road of our children has to be a road of freedom." Gideon Henry

Socialist America - How Close Are We??

Socialist Democrats can now welcome the Socialist Republican to their ranks. 

In 2006 I told people if the Republicans give you headaches by not governing under the principals that they ran for office, then vote Democrat.  They might not govern the may you would like but at least you wouldn't be surprised.

Is it a coincidence that the economy had tanked in the last  20 months or so?  I don't believe in coincidences.  There is always a reason.

I have warned people over and over again that there is more then what is obvious to even the blindest of us.  (Is that a word?)  I have warned that we need to act while we still are able to make our voices heard.  I have warned that in time if we do nothing or ignore being ignored that it time we wouldn't be able to do anything.  That time may be closer then any of us think.

Always remember that there is MORE to it then what you can see.  Always remember people in power uses fear to keep power and to obtain more power.  Always remember the people in power want us at each others throats so we aren't paying attention to them.

Always remember that a good puppet master you will never see.

We made our desires known to congress with this bail out.  After the 777 dow drop all they talked about was the large loss.  No mention was made of the big gain the next day.  Only the big loss.  One representative stated that the opposition to the bail out went from 30 to 1 against to 10 to 1 against.  Acting like that was a sign he should support the bail out.  The fact is it was STILL 10 to 1 against the bail out.

The Senate and the House of Representatives decided they knew best what the  American people needed.  One made the statement they had to do what was best for us even if we didn't want or like it.

Now since Both houses of congress has refused to listen to our desires and passed this bill, even though all they could say was: "we hope it will work", "we don't know if it will work", "maybe it will work", "it may stop the bleeding, but we will have to do more", "it could work", "it might work", "if we do nothing it will only get worse", "action has too be taken now", blah, blah, blah.

THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE!!!!

They talked about the over 1,000,000,000,000 loss with the 777 dow drop but said nothing about the big rebound the next day.  But now it is over 2,000,000,000,000 losses and counting.  Now where are our so called Representatives.  If over $1,000,000,000,000 in losses was such a crisis that had to be taken care of then why isn't over $2,000,000,000,000 in losses even a bigger crisis?

Now the government is buying stock in banks?  When will they take over McDonald's other businesses the government wants to have their finger in?

Socialism is not good.  You have Socialist Democratic Leaders of Congress and now it appears you have Socialist Republican Leaders of Congress.  Pelosi and Reid DOESN'T speak for the majority of Americans.  For God's Sake she represents San Francisco and he is from a state that ranks 35th in population and is famous for gambling and hookers.  Don't get offended Nevada that is the truth.  Vegas is a great place to visit but ask 100, or 1,000 or 1,000,000,000,000 what is Nevada known for and see how many answers you get of Legal Gambling or Vegas and Prostitution.

These are the two people leading the congress?  Give me a break.  Democrats need to take their party back and put people in power with common sense.  But no you have the leaders mentions plus other so called Representatives like Give me a mortgage, C Dodd and  nothing is wrong with fannie or freddy, B Frank.

Remember a time when both parties seemed to be working for the good of the country instead of the good of their own personal pocketbooks?  The leaders need to go.  We need fresh blood on both sides.  People who WANT to represent the people not the money.

If you have read me you know I don't care for Juan McCain.  But I care less for a Pelosi - Reid led congress with a president called Obama.  If you are thinking what is happening right now seems or is socialist just wait.

What we as Americans that love our freedom and rights need to do is to concentrate on the House of Representatives and Senate.  We need to put people in that at least says they will stop some of this.  If this doesn't happen how can you as Americans have any hope of stopping the Socialist Express that is coming around the bend??

If we don't stop barking at each other and realize our attention should be focused on the Socialists (both parties) raiding our tax dollars then many that have never prayed to God may find themselves doing so when our rights and freedoms continue to disappear.

Wake up America, Wake up Patriots, Wake up Free People, the Socialists are coming, the Socialists are coming.  Make lite of it but think, get your ego out of the way and think.  If we are going to remain free we must work together.  If we don't we will suffer together.

Sometimes maybe we should go back and read what some of our founding fathers said.  We can STILL listen and learn from them.

"A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader." -- Samuel Adams (letter to James Warren, 12 February 1779)

If You Watched Sarah Palin's Speech  You Have Seen History

Sarah Palin may not be the first woman vice president for the United States.  But if you watched her speech last night at the Republican Convention, you did watch the First Woman President of the United States give a speech.  She just doesn't have the title yet.

Who would have thought that John McCain could have picked someone that could actually get Republicans excited about the election?  McCain is not going to excite people and the so called base has a lot of problems with him.  Whether is was genius on his part, or pure luck, John McCain has changed the face of politics by introducing the world to Sarah Palin.

Our country, the Patriot Americans need to unite and work together to take the power of the country back from the elite power brokers that call DC home.  With someone like Sarah Palin, the Patriots of this country have hope.  And with that hope for them comes hope for America.

A REAL person is running for a high office.  Let us embrace that and support her and help her remain REAL.  America is broke (in more ways then one) and it is not because of REAL PEOPLE.  Let's encourage one Real Person who can and will speak for us.

This COULD be the start of  Real People Taking Back Control Of The Government.  We NEED to do it BEFORE it is too late.  If we wait long enough, it will be too late.

God Bless America and God Bless Sarah Palin and her family.

I have been quite just watching and listening and observing.  It is time for all of us to start speaking. 

I am posting this article again because he has brought out so many emotions.  I have posted some and others were not put through.  PLEASE if you read this again or for the first time do not let a word or two color what you THINK I am trying to say.

Look at the categories and what is used. "What Is Real?" Look at the name Juan for John. Then think back about what John McCain has said and done. If you think about those things and keep your emotions in check you may see and understand some of the points I was attempting to make in this writing.  Anyone is welcome to make any comments about things they either agree with or disagree with,  but please we can do it without the @#$^#$#$%.  If that is the only way you can communicate then you don't have anything worth listening too.  And please let's not tear others down if a typo is made or a mistake is made in spelling.  It takes courage for people to step out and speak.  A lot won't just for reasons of the fear of being made fun of.

In the end we are going to need each other to save our freedoms. Don't think people aren't trying to take them away from us. Even though we all don't speak with the same voice, at least let us speak.

Is Juan McCain The Anti-Christ?

How dare I ask such a question?  Is John McCain a TRUE war hero?  How dare I ask that question also?

I have liked Ann Coulter because she will make statements that will make you think.  After her radio spot with Sean Hannity last Friday I may love her.  Mr. Hannity couldn't stand it that she was saying she would campaign for Hillary if McCain was running against her.  Mr. Hannity couldn't get past her statement of support to hear her valid reasons for such a move.

Have you noticed or seen John McCain's new ads?  According to him he is the TRUE Conservative.  Since he wants to use the word True, maybe we should ask if he is a True War Hero.  How dare I even consider to ask such a question?  Go back and read this, then you decide if it is a fair question. http://blog.commonsensepatriot.com/2008/01/27/what-is-a-war-hero.aspx      

Is John McCain the Anti Christ?  How can I ask such a question?  Part is with tongue in cheek but not entirely.    He is the Anti-Reagan.  He claims to be a TRUE conservative and attempts to present himself in the mold of Reagan.

So does anything that is said about the Anti-Christ in the bible ring in tune with the Anti-Reagan called John (Juan) McCain?  Have fun and read and think:

The Crisis of the Crisis

How Good Is Your Memory?

Doesn't it seem like there is always SOME type of Crisis that we need to deal with.  Or should I say that the government will have to deal with.  Some of the ways government remains and gains power is by presenting fear to the general population.  Fear about something that ONLY the government will be able to handle in the proper way.  This will be the first in a series of articles about Crisis.

THE TRUTH THAT WILL SET YOU FREE!
It IS ALL about the power.  There is no such thing as coincidence.  Very FEW will step in front of another to stop a bullet. 
Those who drink from the grapes of power have trouble saying NO to one more glass of wine.  You have freedom as long as you do what the government says you should do.  Is that the freedom our founding fathers envisioned?
Government gains more power and is questioned less when fear and safety is brought into the picture.  Once people have tasted power, they don't want to give up that taste.  After tasting the grapes of power for too long, people start believing that it is THEIR right to continue to taste that wine.  Not their honor, their right.  When they get to that mindset, their actions are more about keeping themselves in power then doing what is best and right for the people.

The Crisis of the War on Terror!
I will deal with many crisis but the first one, let it be the so called War On Terror!  What has that war brought to this country?  I guess I could say thank goodness we invaded Iraq, can you image how high gas prices would have been by now if we had stayed in our own country?

What the war on terror has brought us.  We have to wear socks now that are clean and no holes if we are going to fly.  We don't actually have to, but it could be embarrassing.  Depending on the mood of the people in charge we may or may not be able to take shampoo, toothpaste, nail cllppers etc. with us on our flight.

The War on Terror have gotten a great word ,PATRIOT,  hijacked by congress in passing laws that take our rights away.  By calling it the Patriot Act they attempt to make it so that anyone that would oppose it would BE, UNPATRIOTIC.  A good way to keep people in check and quite.

As soon as this act or parts of it are due to expire, then we hear how much MORE in danger we will be if it isn't renewed.  But in truth what is in more danger is OUR rights as AMERICANS.  The very people who would and who have killed our people.  The very people who would take our freedoms away from us have had to do nothing more then fly the planes into the buildings.  Our elected representatives have done the rest as far as taking some of our rights and freedoms away from us.

If Bin Laden was so important in this War of Terror, then why did we not continue with him until we found him?  Could it be because he would be more valuable to the people in power alive and free then dead or captured?  Why go into Iraq before the job with Bin Laden was finished?  Wouldn't there have been time after that job was finished to then go after Iraq?

Do you remember why we went into Iraq?  Weapons of Mass Destruction.  WMD's.  Now after none were found I REMEMBER the people in power saying there were more reasons then JUST WMD's for going into Iraq.  The trouble with that is that I ALSO REMEMBER Colin Powell going to the United Nations outlining the reason for going into Iraq.  WMD's was the reason.  Once they didn't find WMD's they changed their story or reasons.  The ONLY problem with that is that I REMEMBER Powell's talk at the United Nations.  Some of this stuff would be so much easier to believe if my memory wasn't so good.

So once no WMD's were found and Saddam was pulled out of the Rat Hole I had a simple solution to the problem.  Put him back in power.  Don't you think he would have played ball with us?  Let HIM get his country back into control and remember we dug you out of a rat hole, we can do it again.  But no that would have been too simple.  Instead it was very important to make sure he was dead.  What was such the rush?  As far as that goes what was such the rush of killing the Oklahoma City  Bomber?  Both people still had much information, so why such the rush to close the lips of that information?  Remember there are no coincidences.

The war on terror has been a very high cost of blood and treasure.  The dems like to use that wording a lot.  But billions and billions of dollars have been sent to a country we invaded.  Thousands of our young people have lost their life's, and many more thousands have lost body parts.  Remember Viet Nam?  I do and back then you had old men and some not so old playing with the lives of young American boys sending them to fight a war that was NEVER declared.  Have we actually declared war on Iraq???

NOW the difference is that we have old men and some not so old, and old women and some not so old, playing with the lives of our young American boys and girls in a war (was it ever declared?).  So I guess the BIG question I HAVE to ask about the War On Terror is this.  If the War on Terror is SO important, and if the main reason is too keep our country and people safe, then WHY after 6 1/2 years since 911 are our borders STILL SO OPEN!!!!!!

IF IT IS about keeping our people safe and our country safe, wouldn't one of the first things you do is make SURE it is difficult for people to enter our country without us knowing about it???  It just makes common sense to me that closing our borders would be one of the FIRST things we should do.  I would think that most of our young people would rather be protecting our borders from invasion then being the invaders.  If the terrorists can't get here, then won't it be harder for them to hurt us?  If our young people are going to have to serve in a desert wouldn't most rather be closer to home?  At least this way maybe they could get home more to see their families and be serving in a safer place.

The problem is NOT our young people serving.  They will protect us, they have already given so much.  The problem is not with them.  The problem is with the people in power on BOTH sides , that are playing with their lives.  Making them serve tour after tour of duty.

The Crisis Of The War On Terror!
If it is such a big deal then WHY aren't our borders closed?  WHY?  You can't say we haven't had enough time to close them.  We have had over six years.  If our safety and the safety of our country is so important to take away people's rights and freedoms (such as the Patriot Act), then WHY isn't it important enough to seal our borders??? 

How can it be a crisis, how can it be a war on terror, when one of the most important things to do to assure our safety ISN'T done?  Is it as much a War On Terror or is it more a War On The Rights Of Americans?
