This morning I read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and wept. How in just 235 years we have gone so far off path from our founding Fathers and from God? Independence Day is not about hot dogs, potato salad, baseball and fireworks. It should be more about reflection and prayer as to how we need to strive to remain on the path our forefathers started us on. How men (and oh YES women too) died so that we might be able to disagree with one another yet still respect each others right to DISAGREE. We are free men and women, not slaves to our government or a hand full that feel they should decide what's right our wrong for the majority.
I feel unless we stand up to the Tyrants in Washington (yes both Liberal and Conservative tyrants) that have decided "I know what's best for America not my constituents" attitude. Mr Congressman or Congresswoman you seem to forget you were elected to represent ME and my views, not your own views.
I am willing to give the Ballot box one more try, (2012) but if there is even a small impropriety of voter fraud I feel I shall have to pick up my gun and march on the capital of my country. They do not seem to grasp the ideal behind the Declaration of Independence & The Constitution.

Put me in charge
A reader sent this. Apparently this appeared in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, Texas, on November 18, 2010.

Put me in charge ...
Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.
Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your “home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good.”
Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.. Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.
If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.
