Colorado Capone here. My apologies to all… I started blogging a lot in the beginning, but school started up again and balancing school and a full-time job is no easy feat. Be that as it may.

I wanted to throw out some ideas here for all. And these ideas are reflective upon the lack of time we have:

1. Why are you not voicing your opinion?
I have seen a drastic downtick on contacting elected representatives by TEA Party movement members. We cannot allow ourselves to succumb to complacency, which is what is taking place. Write your senators, write your congressman; we can NOT allow ourselves to let the powerful go unchecked. Lord knows we don’t have the fourth-estate media as they are already in the tank for the left-leaning establishment.

2. Re-taking the free-market “high ground”.
Our system of free-enterprise economics is by no means perfect. We all know this; however, when you look at the other type of system being rapidly introduced, including government-run health care and cap-and-tax legislation, we’re seeing the decline of freedom and the rise of socialist overtones coming from the halls of Congress and even our fellow citizens who support such short-sighted legislation. DO YOUR RESEARCH! Learn about the legislation coming forth, including the Senate Finance Committee’s health care legislation that recently pass committee. Arming yourself with knowledge allows you to attack and push back that which puts us all on the brink of losing our great Nation. This should get you started.

3. Lastly, all politics is local.
We’ve heard this before. Well, it deserves to be said once again. The strength of the TEA Party movement, in my opinion, is that it rallies everyday Americans to become part of the political landscape in their own, small way. And what better way to make a difference than to get involved with local politics. Here in Colorado Springs, we have significant pieces of legislation affecting the local political environment, including a citizen petition known as “Issue 300.” Here’s a link to learn more about this issue, but basically one of our local lower tax patriots, Douglas Bruce, is fighting for the people by taking away the “fees” imposed by the city which are hidden taxes. Long story short, GET INVOLVED! Find out what issues are affecting your local government and citizenry, and become part of the solution, versus being a by-standard. This is the core task for TEA Party Patriots …. motivated, ordinary citizens fed up with not having a voice in the poisonous cesspool of today’s political environment.

Until next time, my fellow mobsters…

Well they can’t dress up that  pig of a Health Care Bill enough to fool the American People, so now they are going to try to get our minds off the health care issue, by skewering our ONE agency that keeps us safe: THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY.

The Democratic Party has slunk to a new low; and you thought they had slunk as low as they could go!!!  I am so dumb struck by their sleazy gutter methods, that it almost escapes me that they are also actually really DUMB…

After the HEALTH CARE ISSUE, what is absolutely NEXT on the list of important issues to the American People ?????  YOU GOT IT, KEEPING THE COUNTRY SAFE!!  And in poll after poll, the American People have come down on the side of safety – WE DON’T WANT ANOTHER 9/11 leave the people doing their jobs ALONE!!

This most recent decision to go after those men who were charged with getting information for our safety, is TRANSPARENT… And I believe that THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE KNOW AS I, THAT THE CIA SAVED US MORE GRIEF AND MISERY… SO TRYING TO SKEWER THEM NOW, JUST TO SAVE THEIR POLITICAL ASSES IS PERFIDY AT IT’S MOST TOXIC.

YES, THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOW SO DESPERATE AS TO RISK OUR SECURITY TO GET THEIR WAY….. I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT THE RANK AND FILE DEMOCRATS (NOT THE PAID THUGS) THE VOTERS, WILL SUPPORT THIS PATHETIC SHOW OF EFFETE SUPERIORITY…

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WHITEHOUSE FOR SINKING TO A NEW LOW!!!!

This morning as I was going over the daily blah, blah, blah of the blogging community both left and right, and last night Glen Beck had mentioned a piece at salon.com, so I headed over and took a look.  It was actually not the usual hack job, but still not a glowing review of those that are opposing the “Total Facelift of American Life”, a la Obama, but still not bad considering the source.

The writings, aptly named “WAR ROOM” are bylined by Alex Koppleman, it was not a nice article, but it was not as bad as most when liberals take to pen.  He went on about the people being “followers” of Glen Beck and talked about the show, etc.  He didn’t use to many big words but couldn’t resist putting in a few, like hyperbolic. But I was caught up about midway through by an ad on the side for Joan Walsh’s blog…..  No offense to Koppleman, but his article was tame, trying to paint Glen Beck in a bad light; just like every other liberal in the universe and the tag line of the new left wing warrior was much more incendiary ….Joan Walsh.. a blogger at Salon.com. Now this should wake me up! Since I was more interested in what was being said by the blogosphere rather than the canned article, I clicked on over.– and woohoo, she’s on fire!!

I was insulted after the first five words she penned, she called Americans voicing their opinions; “Astroturf”…. And it was down hill from there.  I hope Merriam smiles when I tell you that her article was banal, her sentences trite and her conclusions dull.  In total the piece was entirely flat and my hint to the author is; it’s time to stop writing such inane comments and start by putting a little journalistic objectivity in your pieces if you ever want to be taken seriously….

I want to start something, I want everyone when they see these foolish tag names, or mean spirited goofy labels (like astroturf!), click on the send email and send them one thing, “a virtual slap!”  “SMACK” YOU’VE BEEN VIRTUALLY SLAPPED FOR YOUR DUMB NAME CALLING!

PS – Start with Alex Koppleman and Joan Walsh at salon.com

PPS – Shameless plug, I have a really good blog at www.rvsisters.ning.com, which is my people network, you can join and do stuff.  I also have a travel log I am working on because  I have been touring the USA since 2006 with my sister.  Drop by..

I am thinking “health care reform” is the wrong phrase to use when describing Obamacare.

What it REALLY is? “Health Care Control”. Let’s stop their pretense about…care. They want to control the rationing of treatments, surgeries, hospital stays, drugs, etc, all determined by the government. They want to fund abortions and deny care to our elders. They want to come into your home and tell you how to raise your children. They want to raise your taxes. They want you to have no recourse against their decisions – you can’t “sue” them. They want access to all your personal records. They want to unconstitutional implement “law” without going thru Congress. You will lose all control of your health care decisions.

So let’s correct their blather about “care”. Call them out on their fake compassion. From now on, I’m calling Obamacare what it truly is.

Health Care Control

It is our daughters’ birthday today and we are planning a nice dinner for her and her friends. As I was rushing around this morning, trying to get several things done at once, trying to reflect on what a great young woman she has grown to be, I grew increasingly irritated by the attention I have to give to the menace of government. Listening to talk radio, keeping up with blogs, trying to keep less attentive family and friends “in the loop, writing letters, calling offices, scheduling town hall meetings to attend. It’s time consuming and annoying. It’s frustrating and inconvenient to be on the alert to the nefarious dealings of our President, his advisors and “czars”, and our Congress. Not a day…no, make that an HOUR goes by that some fresh outrage occurs that I learn about, then I spend time pondering it and trying to figure out how to act on it. I rant (mainly to my poor husband) that it’s crazy that a completely average citizen has to act and think in this matter. I falsely imagined that even as we lived in a country with differing opinions, we were essential safe and secure, our Constitutional rights preserved by people that “knew better” than I.

All of those naïve assumptions are out the window. I am now demanded to man up and act as millions of Patriots before me have acted. I will NOT let my children down without a serious fight. I really could less if Nancy Pelosi calls it “un-American”….that woman is a walking definition of un-American.

All patriots called to do battle with the “ruling” elite class are reluctant. We Americans are slow to anger at our own citizens…we want to give everyone, even those we disagree with, benefit of the doubt. “He can’t really mean that…let’s just see what happens”. Or, “well, I don’t know what I can do about this…I’m only one person”. But when the hits just keep coming, to the determent of our freedom and liberties, the Patriot rises in defense of his freedom. And once aroused, the Patriot doesn’t back down.

It’s hard, frustrating, time-consuming work. But compared to the Patriots that fought for our freedoms, as well as every soldier who sacrificed to preserve those freedoms – our work is very easy. We need to educate ourselves in a way that we have neglected over the years of benign acceptance that our government would do right by us. They are NOT interested in our well being. It’s clear to me now. We need to continue to be diligent and confrontational. The administration is hoping very very very hard that we will lose interest and want to return to the safety and comfort of our homes and that we will be intimidating by all the bullying by our Congressman, the media, and others.

I say, be a Patriot. The other option isn’t acceptable.

Just when you thought you knew what was going to be posted next here (if you guessed health care, your half way on the mark), that’s the exact time I hit you with a sidewinder kick and blast you through the sky! That is, of course, if I were Chuck Norris.

Chuck, a guest columnist on the conservative-leaning site Townhall.com, wrote an interesting piece that I don’t think ANYONE should miss. Obamacare has many, MANY areas of concern in it (referring to House Bill 3200). From perceived end-of-life “treatment” to rationing of health care (after all, if $1.3 Trillion dollars worth of care is needed, but only $1 Trillion is available, they aren’t going to waste perfectly-good deficit spending on you and me), H.R. 3200 scares everyone of us. But if you aren’t shaking in your boots yet, Chuck throws this at us.

In his blog, which you can visit here, Chuck identifies Page 838 of the bill, under Sections 440 and 1908, which has the heading of “home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children.” Chuck explains that “well-trained and competent staff” (See: ‘government workers’) provide “parents with knowledge of age-appropriate child development in cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains … modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices,” and “skills to interact with their child to enhance age-appropriate development.”

Did you get all that? It’s a mouth full… a mouth full of horse hockey. The government is planning for when they will come into your home and “provide” you with all the information on how to “properly” raise your child. Assuming you’re raising your child in a post-Obama America.

Now, a reasonable thinker would say “that’s not mandatory… they can’t just come in. Stop stoking fears you right-wing wharggggbldglglejgflg….” (You get the idea).

But, language in the bill might just allow the government to do that. Let’s see page 840 now: “The state shall identify and prioritize serving communities that are in high need of such services, especially communities with a high proportion of low-income families.” The government already has a target for it’s Nationalized Child Care program.

Well, read the rest of Chuck’s blog for all the juicy details. After all, he did the work. But I thought you should know as well.

Til next time…
