The situation in our nation today takes me back many years to the
early days of a sit-com called “The Beverly Hillbillies”. I remember
the Clampetts hooking up with “Honest John” Shafer, played by long time
comedian Phil
Silvers. “Honest John” sold them every monu
ment
in Washington, D C (De Cesspool). Those “dumb ole’ Clampetts” just kept
giving “Honest John” Shafer checks made out to “C.A.S.H.” If you grew
up with the Clampetts, Milburn Drysdale, and Jane Hathaway you will
understand. Congress and the ruling elite are “Honest John” Shafer and
We the People are the Clampetts. We are being conned by experts who
make it their lifelong career to scam us into giving them everything we
have while thinking they are taking care of us and “looking out for our
best interests”.
Senator Tom Coburn (R-Ok) has come out with what he calls “Back in Black: A Deficit Reduction
Plan”.
In this plan Coburn points out numerous places where millions of our
tax dollars are wasted. But who else in Congress has looked at his
plan? What leadership, in either party, has paid one second of
attention to it? They ignore it because Coburn’s plan will actually
benefit the “Clampetts” to the detriment of “Honest John Shafer”!!
This is our problem,
America. We have a plan to cut $9 trillion dollars without cutting back on anything that is necessary for life in America
to improve. We sit here and watch Obama, then Boehner, then Reid, then
McConnell, then Pelosi, then the usual Idiot Corp of the government
bureaucracy stroll out to tell We the People how much we are going to
suffer. They are even worried about the Island of
Guam tipping over. Oh, wait, that was last time. This time Maxine Waters
said
we were going to lose 170 million of the 140 million jobs currently in
the United States. Again I quote the Aflac duck:” HUH?????????”
So, I am wondering why, when Sen. Coburn has this long list of waste
items that can be cut, that none of these cuts ever get made? Why
doesn’t either political party make even the most minor of efforts to
remove this wasteful spending? Why is it that every time we come to
this point, as we do on a regular basis, it is always the same things
being cut, always the things that are going to cause the most pain to
the lives of We the People? Why are we giving billions of dollars to
Egypt in the form of Abrams tanks and F-16 Falcon fighter/bombers? Why
are we giving arms and money to the Syrian ”rebels”, actually Al Qaeda,
when that money could stop the closure of airports, daycare centers,
free medical clinics, etc.? Compassion for the poor??
And, what about the billions being given to the United Nations? What
about the foreign aid to Saudi Arabia? Saudi Arabia???? Don’t they
make trillions every year selling us oil at preposterous rates????
These things can’t be cut but we can cut money going to Social Security,
Medicare, Medicaid, soldiers and sailors serving their nation in far
off lands? Come on America, don’t tell me you still buy this crap from these party oriented confidence men!!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen of America, you are being conned by people who
only care about themselves; their power, their prestige, and how they
are going to continue to rule us. Our nation is being bled dry;
financially, morally, and Constitutionally by people in both political
parties who care nothing about We the People, the Constitution, and the
future of our Republic.
Barack Obama continues to fly around the nation at great expense.
Nothing is too grand for “der leader”!!! No one in Congress,
other
than Rand Paul and Tom Coburn, has cut any money out of their office
budgets to turn back to We the People. No one in “leadership” has done
anything to actually lead by example. Michelle Obama sticks her nose
into anything and everything like she is royalty. We daily hear all the
horror stories about how America is going to suffer; yet we spend $1.4
BILLION per year to keep “The Jeffersons” in the White House, not to
mention their numerous Five-Star resort vacation trips and separate
planes for the family dog!!! Don’t tell me we can’t cut expenses
without hurting the citizens!!!
Sen. Coburn has the answers to many of our problems right there in
his “black book” but no one in the leadership of either political party
will allow any of it to come up for consideration. Why does this go on
if they are as concerned as they all say they are about the well-being
of American citizens? Well, I guess the political class does have an
answer, more government; more of what caused the problems in the first
place.
This is a Republican Party problem; this is a Democrat Party problem;
this is a political opportunism problem. Political opportunists in
both parties are pitting We the People against one another. The
political ruling class has joined fo
rces to frighten and intimidate citizens into acquiescing to their agenda of continued tighter control of our lives.
I
wrote a few days ago about the need for a political party to represent the 67% of We the People who identify as TE
A
Party conservatives. Neither political party has shown any desire to
actually fix the problems our nation faces. It is more about pointing
fingers and placing blame so nothing ever gets fixed. There are good
people in Washington but they are outnumbered terribly. They need us as
much as we need them. We are a team!!!
There is a light at the end of the tunnel still. I am proud of and
encouraged by my fellow Americans who are stepping up now. The sheriffs
and police chiefs who have pledged to refuse to disarm citizens are a
breath of freedom. We need a wholesale change of perspective, to one
based on The Constitution. I see it beginning at the county level with
these sheriffs and their constituents. We can take this unity to
Washington if we will band together in mutual protection, and support
those people in Congress who will speak out for us. This is a call to
action for YOU. Contact your Senator, your Congressman, and demand they
get on board with this.
I submit this in the name of the Most Holy Trinity, in faith, with
the responsibility given to me by Almighty God to honor his work and not
let it die from neglect.
