Look Behind the Curtain

Hey Folks,

Well the midterm elections are over and the Republicans did very well; let’s hope they are as conservative as they claim. What amazes me however, is the fact that not all the Democrats are getting the message as shown by the re-election of Nancy Pelosi to the top leadership position in the house for their party. Did you hear Uncle Joe’s (Biden) reasoning about why we don’t get along with the President? It’s because “he’s so brilliant. He is an intellectual.” Are you trying to tell us we’re idiots Uncle Joe? Here is a link to the GQ interview: Biden GQ interview (http://www.gq.com/news-politics/politics/201012/joe-biden-interview-vice-president-obama?printable=true ).

Now I am sure that all of you have been hearing about the TSA groping that violates the 4th amendment big time, and you’ve probably heard about the Federal Reserve running the printing presses at full speed, devaluing our dollar further, but remember Rodney and I telling you to watch what the other hand was doing? How many of you heard about our $60 billion dollar deal with Saudi Arabia to sell them Fighter Jets and Helicopters slipped in while Congress was in recess. That’s correct; Congress did not approve of this the Administration just did it. Just a reminder, Saudi Arabia is the birth place of Wahhabi Islam which really doesn’t like us very much, as a matter of fact, they want to kill everyone who is not one of them. The Wahhabists have built Mosques all over the world to spread their terror and hate but what’s $60 billion worth of killing machines between friends? Here is the ABC article about the deal: $60 Billion Arms deal to Saudi Arabia (http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/critics-slam-obama-administration-hiding-massive-saudi-arms/story?id=12192558 ).

Did you hear about the COICA bill that went the Senate Judiciary Committee passed that gives the Attorney General the right to shut down websites “suspected” of copyright infringement without due process, and much to my surprise even the ACLU is against this bill. Here is a link to the bill S 3804 ( http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:s3804rs.txt.pdf ).

And speaking of the web, the FCC is trying to bring back “Net-Neutrality” just in time for Christmas (that’s right. I said “CHRISTMAS” ACLU). Here’s the link to this story: FCC may regulate internet before Christmas (http://thehill.com/blogs/hillicon-valley/technology/130197-fcc-may-regulate-internet-lines-days-before-christmas ).

Folks, like a wounded animal that has been cornered, the Liberals are fighting back with all they have. In the days and weeks to come they are going to try and push everything they want through because they know the new congress will not go for their B.S. We need to be extra vigilant in these last few days of 2010. Whatever the big story in the mainstream media is, look behind the curtain and see what they are really up to.

Who Did They Hear?

“We’ve been given a second chance and a golden opportunity.” “People want to see results.” -Eric Cantor, VA. (R)



Hello all,


Well, for the most part, the mid term elections are now over. Overall, Republican Candidates did very well. It wasn’t a total sweep but gaining 6 Senate seats, 7 Governorships, and 65+ House seats isn’t too bad. I’ve read it’s the largest midterm gain by one party since WWII. Congratulations to the Republican winners on Tuesday. Hopefully, this is but the first of many waves to sweep across the country and wash away the crap that is still deeply rooted in Washington DC. Now, lets roll up the sleeves, its time to get to work.

Eric Cantor’s quote at the beginning of this newsletter sums it up. We, the people have sent a message; its time for you to do the people’s work. You work for us, if you don’t do what the people want, you will be fired. Our message to the newly elected officials is this; we sent you to Washington with mandates. They are: Significantly cut government spending, repeal “ObamaCare”, stop all tax increases, defend our nation’s security and stop bowing to foreign dictators, and put elected officials back in charge by reining in abuses by executive branch agencies like the EPA and its job killing cap and trade plan.


You should begin working on these mandates immediately. We do not expect everything done overnight, but you must make great progress sooner rather than later. If you fail with these mandates, then you will be swept out of office by that wave that put you there; the people. To the established incumbent politicians, our message is this; this past Tuesday, the people of the United States began to take our country back. It might be a good idea if you started listening to us. If you decide to pursue your own agenda, contribute to back room deals, continue to spend our money without thought, or decide to not read another bill before you vote on it, then your backside will be the next one removed from our employment.



Did anyone listen to president Obama on Wednesday? I did, and you know what? He sounded very humble. He said that the American people have spoken and he has heard them. He then goes on about being open to “tweaking” a few things in the Healthcare bill… THE MAN STILL DOESN’T GET IT! I don’t get how he believes that the people still want his healthcare bill at all. Oh, but he is open to a little “tweaking” here and there. The President said he heard the American people. Now, I wonder what the hell did he hear. Lord, have mercy! He is so frustrating.



Today I heard on the radio, this guy had called into the talk show I was listening to, and he said that people should be afraid of that racist Tea Party who has bought out the Republican Party (did you all buy something without telling me). To this day I still have to chuckle at being called and being associated with a bunch of racists. Never mind that with this past election we have added two black Congressmen; Allen West (Florida) and Tim Scott (South Carolina). Two Hispanics; Senator elect Marco Rubio (Florida) and Susanna Martinez, Governor elect of New Mexico, and one Sikh Indian; Nikki Haley, Governor elect of South Carolina. Finally, I hear that Nancy Pelosi, yes that Nancy Pelosi, is running for House Minority Leader. Again, I don’t know who some of these folks are listening to, but it’s not the American people. Lord, take me now! Folks, we have our work cut out for us.



Join us on our website thepeopleofliberty.com. A lot of good information is there. Oh, before I forget, here is my newsletter question; What do you think should be the first thing the newly elected Congress does?




-Until next time, Rodney

Always Vote for Principle

Always Vote for Principle
Hey Folks,

Well, it is election time and I hope that all of you and everyone you know are going to vote in this historic election. While I was voting the other day (yes, I am an absentee voter) I once again saw that my choices were the better of two evils, very disheartening. I began wondering, again, how the heck did we get to this point from where our Founders started? I mean really, most of the ads are “look how bad my opponent is, at least I’m not as bad as them”, seriously, is this what we’ve come to? What happened to the reluctant politicians like George Washington? Why is it that all we appear to have any more are those wanting to be “Career Politicians?” It’s no wonder that American voter turnout is so much lower than Iraqi voter turnout (America 2006 midterm= 37.1%, Iraq 2010= 62.9% to 70%; one would almost think we were the ones being threatened with death for voting.

Rodney and I made a decision awhile back not to endorse any candidates, for which we caught some flack. Recently other Tea-Parties have put out voter guides and moved whole-heartedly behind select candidates, I will not say anything bad about this practice but I will clarify our position. First let me say that I believe there are some great sounding candidates out there, key word being “sounding”, the point here is that Americans have been burned by politicians for over a century now and most of those that burned us all sounded great hence being elected. One of my favorite founders, Thomas Jefferson, stated that “Power is not alluring to pure minds”, now what I glean from this is that those wanting the power most likely have something on their mind other than what is pure as history has proven time and time again. A good question for any candidate I think would be; what did you want to become when you where younger? What do you want to be now? If the answer to either of these is “A Politician” I would probably steer clear of that candidate.

What are the “DNC” and the “RNC” except breading grounds for Career Politicians? They are the groups who decide what candidate suits them and their agenda best. For decades we have been told not to waste our votes on third party candidates because they could not win but I ask you, where has this thinking gotten us? If we believe that our politicians are supposed to “Protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic” why would you limit yourself to only two that appear wishy-washy on that concept? Politicians from both of the “Politician Mills” of the DNC and the RNC have brought us to the point we are at, we need “Change We Can Truly Believe In” (to coin a phrase from someone) now more than ever. Vote for who you believe will get us back to where we need to be, regardless of party affiliation.

“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. “ ~ John Quincy Adams

Have you read the small print on some of the ads these politicians are running? Those are the people who have bought that candidate usually. Our political process has become so corrupted by the not so “Mighty Dollar” that politicians are beholden to whoever holds the purse strings for their continued election. Do any of you think this is the way our founders wanted it to be? Of course not! This is so far from what they believed they must be spinning in their graves.
I believe the aforementioned issues are what turn off most Americans from voting but that’s not the reason we are in this mess. The reason we are in this mess is you and me! We were to guard our public liberty like a precious jewel, did we? We were supposed to be its “safe depository”, were we? No, we were not. We let this happen.

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel.” ~ Patrick Henry

“Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

Have you ever heard that the majority of Americans are center-right when it comes to politics? If that is so, why do all the Looney Progressives (from both parties) keep getting elected? I believe it is the “Silent Majority Syndrome”. Most of the silent majority types are very polite, don’t talk politics or religion (it’s personal, you know), and usually have a lot of stuff to do and worry about other things more than electing some lawyer type into office. Now these people are not stupid, nor are they ignorant as so many on the minority side paint them, they are America, the heart, soul, and backbone of this great nation. They do not all live in the Midwest or the South, they are all over doing all they can to make ends meet and feed their families. If this is America why is it our politicians are so out of touch with these folks? Could it be that, well, they’re silent? I mean think about it, the Liberals and Progressives protest constantly and at times get violent (G-20 and such), they are loud and obnoxious, and they’ve been practicing since the 60’s, think of it as “The squeaky wheel gets the oil” trick. Now look at the rest of us, some of us are trying our hand at the protest thing, we are, for the most part, calm and orderly, pick up after ourselves, cooperate with the authorities, and love America. We are starting to gain a lot more respect and recognition but, we need to stay true to who we are, America. People, this election is our first major battle, win or lose we must continue the fight and hold every single politician accountable to the Constitution.

We need everybody to get out there and vote, especially the “Silent Majority”, your country is calling for your help, will you???

Mike
