Celebrating the 4th

This weekend we celebrate Independence Day, usually just called the 4th of July, to commemorate our independence from Great Britain.

I find it perverse that while we drink beer and watch fireworks, we have a president who is doing everything in his power to enslave us to a federal government in ways that are unconstitutional. And there are people out there who think this is a great idea!

Just for fun, ask 10 people under the age of 30 if they even know what we are celebrating on the 4th. I think you may be surprised at how many of our young people "educated" at our government run schools don't have a clue. It's just an excuse for a party.

Obama is not going to be satisfied until he has complete control of your schools, your health care, your money, and your life. Don't sit back and allow this to happen. Our forefathers fought for our independence and you have a responsibility to protect and guard the constitution of this great country.

While doing his best with one hand to confiscate, no - make that steal, the largest hunk of money ever in the history of this country by attempting to pass Cap and Trade, he is reaching around behind you with the other hand grabbing at your freedom to make your own health care decisions. And woe to those who don't buy into this garbage. Our benevolent government is going to fine you $1000.00. That is outrageous!



Cap and Trade: The Big Con


Masquerading as an instrument of environmental salvation, the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill will result in one of the largest seizures of wealth in human history. The legislation will wreak havoc on American manufacturing and industry, and coerce the conformity of an already economically squeezed populace. The bill is a transparent power grab, based on a fictional crisis-the left's ever-dependable threat of global warming.

If kids don't know what Independence Day is, what would that say about their parents?

Here's an interesting article about our current health insurance system:

Happy belated 4th of July!

Thanks for the links to the information on cap and trade. Why am I not surprised at the way things are working out?

Hope that all is well.
