Listen and you will learn!

On today’s date in 1789 the first Congress of the new United States of America adjourned, I can assure you that it was a lot better than the one we have now.


Listen to the rhetoric. Listen to President Obama. He is still blaming President Bush. Listen to former President Clinton he is knocking the Tea Party candidates and telling us it’s like Alice in Wonderland. Listen to who is out there trying to convince us to vote for the Democrats. They cannot run on their record and convince us that their ideas and their style of governing works.

Senator John Kerry blamed voters with short attention spans for the uphill battle beleaguered Democrats are facing against Republicans across the nation. He said, “We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening.” He made these comments to the Boston Herald.


When Bill Clinton and John Kerry are comfortable, knocking down the opposition with distorted words, you know something is up. We are witnessing the political reduction of the President, his office and the Democratic Party itself. It is not the Republican’s fault; it is not the Tea Party movement’s fault or is it the Independent’s fault. The fault remains in the lap of the elitist and the advisors to the President who are now running like rats from a sinking ship.

This is a good thing, but it is also a dangerous thing. This is when people get desperate and this is when accusations are made and this is when unscrupulous politicians like Clinton and Kerry get an additional 15 minutes of fame. Unfortunately, they get press time and the number one spots on the nightly news cycles.

The president is now saying, to the few that come out to see him, to “buck up.” Mr. President, could it be that and you are the reason why jobs are not being created? It’s not a matter of money, it’s a matter of confidence. Maybe you should start saying that you overreached your vision and it is different from the mainstream.

For those who down talk the patriots in the Tea Party, the patriots who are running for office and those who have come from outside the party structures: what have they done to you? Have they taken away your freedom or your liberty? Have they taken away our posterities chance to enjoy what this country was founded on? Have they organized groups who are hateful and who blame others for their downfall? The new patriot has done nothing, except to wake up and do what they have the right to do.

Maybe we should start telling the president to just “buck up”. Maybe we should be telling him that members of his cabinet and party are like the characters in Alice in Wonderland. Maybe we should start telling Democrats that they don’t pay attention. It is not in our character, nor do I recommend doing that. What I do recommend is making sure you get the vote out and that you remain involved, because what we have going on in our government now should never happen again, never again.
In every race, in the up coming midterms, the new faces of patriots have emerged. The old faces like Rangel, Frank, Boxer, Reid and the others are now feeling the errors of their ways. It is not the fault of an electorate that doesn’t know better. It is the fault of ideas that have not worked in the past and will not work now.

Those who favored the passage of healthcare like Senator Tom Harkin (D) Iowa said: “healthcare is not a privilege, it is an inalienable right.” Congress can not pass inalienable rights. However, they can pass laws that will be interpreted as rights and that is why the President and his party is in trouble. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out what is wrong. However it does take elitists to perpetrate what has been done in the last two years.

The president is now out on the campaign trail talking to the youth of the country. This is where they are targeting new voters. This is where they targeted those that got excited over the words that were used. If there is any communicating that must be done it is to the youth. We have enough good history and enough bad history to tell the story of what has made us great. Part of the story is not what the likes of Frank, Kerry, Clinton, Reid, Boxer and now Obama has done. It is not what Sarah Palin says, it is what our founding fathers have laid out before us that must be communicated. It is about what our true inalienable rights are; life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This is a good starting point. This is what the other side is afraid to talk about!

A footnote: There are 34 days to engage the youth and 34 days to ask someone if they need a ride to the poles. Just tell anyone - listen and you will learn.
