Be nothing less than more than Grand.

A friend and I were talking the other day about the possibilities that may come to pass if the politicians get their way. Some questions that came up were what will we tell our children once they grow and find themselves indentured servants to the government? What will we tell them when they ask what did we do to try and stop it from happening? Why didn’t we try harder? Will our children know the Freedom that we knew? Then we looked at each other and asked “How do we get people to listen and take action?” One thing I learned awhile ago (a bit late for me, but that’s another story) was that if you try to control that which you cannot you will be angry and miserable as long as you believe you have the control. When I tell people this they think I am a hypocrite because they believe I am trying to control The President, The Congress, The politicians, I may be a hypocrite in other parts of my life (I really don’t exercise as much as I tell others to exercise) but not here. I am not trying to control that which I can’t, I have the freedom of speech to voice my opinion, I have a vote in how things get done, and who is elected, as do YOU! We all believe the Politicians are corrupt yet; we shrug our shoulders, plug our nose, and vote for the lesser of two evils each time, WHY?
It appears to me that most people are happy as long as they have a job, an SUV, Costco, Soccer practice for the kids, and Football on Sundays; “all is good, leave me alone.” Many of you don’t really follow politics unless it’s an issue close to you. I receive e-mail from some of you ranging from amendments under assault to Islam to “Gore-bull Warming”, and there are a lot of issues out there at this moment in history and, we should be concerned with all of them. What we don’t seem to understand is that the far-left politicians believe they have a sort of “Perfect Storm” for getting through their wish list of the last 40 years pushed through no matter what. It seems they are at a point where they are going to try to pass everything at once and if we pay attention to one thing, let’s say the Health-Care bill; they believe the Cap and Tax bill or the Copenhagen Treaty, for instance, will pass unnoticed. These people are extremely smart and they believe we are very stupid and extremely lazy, like many who voted for them believing they would get handouts and never have to worry about “putting gas in their car or their house payment anymore”.
I am not William Wallace of “Brave Heart” fame; I am not the “Great Orator” Ronald Reagan; and thank God I am not Barack Obama however I believe some of you may need some inspiration from time to time. The following is a poem from my first book “Poems of the Errant Knight”;

Apathy’s Child

A life of wasted chances,
Excuses and passing glances,
From now until forevermore,
Wasted time, oh nevermore.

Can you feel the fire, that burning need,
Full of desire for daring deed?
Life calls, will you heed?

There you sit, Apathy’s child,
Deafened to the call of the wild.
Why do you refuse to be great?
To truly live why do you wait?

Can you feel the fire, that burning need,
Full of desire for daring deed?
Life calls, will you heed?

It’s your life, take a stand.
Be nothing less than more than grand.
Strive to be the best at what you do.
It’s your life, it depends on you.

Can you feel the fire, that burning need,
Full of desire for daring deed?
Life calls, will you heed?

People, the pressure is working, many who would have voted for the Health-Care bill are now not going to vote for it because of our combined voices, now is not the time to shirk your RESPONSIBILITY of VIGILANCE!!! I have posted the Health-Care bill and the Copenhagen Treaty on our website www.ThePeopleofLiberty.com in the Armory section and also on the Facebook site. I know reading them is a real pain in the arse but, what is your children or grandchildren’s future worth? Shouldn’t you know what is in the bill’s your Representatives or your President are about to make law so you can enlighten others? What answers will you give to your kids when they ask those questions bantered about by Rodney and me? “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” This is your first step, Let the politicians know who’s in charge, YOU!
