I have never felt the need to attend a protest and was not able this 4th of July to attend a TEA party in my neck of the woods. I was attending the joyous event of a nephew’s baptism. I, will, however, attend the event I have heard about in Washington, D.C. in September. It will be a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday to be able to rail against this administration with my fellow true Americans. I was never very interested in politics until 2006 when I started to feel the pinch the new democratic majority was putting on my family.

Virginia 1634,
Bravo! Pelosi and the President don’t understand John Galt, but you do. Millions of Americans are following the same path. They have pulled back on spending because they see the uncertain conditions the liberals are putting in place and are voting no confidence. The ivory tower elites who know nothing of economics only socialist theory, are totally in control. They literally don’t understand why their political payoffs aren’t making things better. They are going to find out in the next 18 months or so just what the consequences of adherence to Keynesian policy costs.

One further thought. What does it matter if the Dems continue to rule or get the boot? The Republicans are unlikely to do anything to change the overall direction we are heading. Libertarians aren’t a factor because they would do away with entitlements, and Americans won’t give those up.

It’s appropriate that I read and comment on this piece on Independence Day, because Barack Obama and his party don’t want us to be independent of them and their government programs. They promise us jobs, but they really want to decide for us how we will live and what we will earn, pay and keep.

Jobs are not a right. Neither is an education, a home, an income, medical care or any given standard of living. We need to see ourselves as not dependent on anyone or any government program. We need to know how to get along in a world where nobody owes us a living. We need to see opportunities and go for them, whatever the effort required. Basically, the world is a lot like a wilderness in which we must learn to survive, by being responsible for ourselves and when we are blessed by a society that makes that struggle easier, we should give back by building on what we found, by creating families and teaching them to be independent and to give back as others taught us.

Unless we wake up and rededicate ourselves to our independence, not just freedom, we will lose a great inheritance.

81. Never For Obama:

“I confess little sympathy for the unemployed zerO voter masses. they wanted to live on “hope-n-change”. they got lots of change.”

Have you heard of schadenfreude, a German word, that means enjoying the misery of others? Well, about everyday, I am reveling in schadenfreude when I hear about another Obama voter losing their job in Obama’s C”hanged” economy.

~~~~~~
It is not schadenfreude I feel. It is the resignation of an adult who has tried to teach an obstinate teen about reality, but the teen knowing better, smacks headfirst into it – The adult may be sorry they hurt their head, but callus enough to let them feel the pain so it will make an impression – and hoping THAT will teach the cocky teen that reality bites.

Reality keeps a hard school, and a fool will learn in no other.

I hope the fools will learn in the school of their own making, but I’m not holding my breath. In reality, I have much more concern for the useful idiots than the elitists on the left – I’d like them to have happy and prosperous lives, but that will only happen if they act like an adult and make responsible, and intelligent choices. Their lives won’t get better if they keep making STUPID choices. The left – with their oh-so-smarmy-”compassion”, does nothing but enable the drunk by giving him alcohol, and struts around telling everyone who will listen how “compassionate” they really are.

Obama (I will NOT call him President, until he acts appropriately) and his VENDETTA excuse me AGENDA for America, is to wreak as much havoc upon this nation. Bringing the American Citizens to their collective knees, so he and the duplicitous Congress can cut our heads off, all to make points with the special interest groups that helped to subversively get him into the position he now holds.
Hey Never For Obama, I didn’t vote for him and lost my job because of the massive influx of Illegal Aliens flooding this country, and our Governor and State Legislature coddling the Illegals. This is reprehensible behavior on the part of the California Legislature. This is the first time in 35 years that I do not have a job.

Marc Malone, I hope you’re right; Cap & Tax should be killed in the Senate. But President Obama will attempt to use his so-called magic words to persuade otherwise. Obama is slowly falling to Earth, yet he seems oblivious to the real world. He wants to be Dictator Obama–not President Obama. The Congress has to stop Obama from crashing the United States into endless debt for his Alinsky Dreams of Socialism. After Obama, the Democrats will be decimated for several years. The damage he will do & has done will take years to repair. 2010 should be a bloodbath for the Democrats…

J-O-B-S is a four letter word to Democrats… except to Biden, who can only count to three.
