“Who are these ‘Tea Partiers?’  We want to bring them into the Party.”  

I’ve heard that same question asked by Republican leadership about four separate times now.   And every time I hear it I smile.   When we get down to the brass tacks, I think it’s safe to say that the Republican leaders wouldn’t know a Tea Partier if she was sitting right ...

The dream sequence begins thusly:

 

The clock chimes 5:00 and my husband walks into the house as I am just pulling a fine crown roast out of the oven. (That is how you can be certain that it is a dream sequence, by the way.)  “Hi honey! I’m home!”

Living in Illinois, one becomes accustomed to the unconstitutional behavior for which Illinois State government has become famous.   Mayor Richard Daley, for instance, shut down Miggs Field and destroyed the runways while everyone was sleeping. That was an illegal action, on for which he ought to be impeached.   And the response to this was, “Oh well.   Can’t do anything about that.   The Democrats are ...

Absolutely sublime!  If this doesn't put a smile on your face then you might want to consider Prozac...

We’re having one of those “We the People” moments as one lonely Senator stands between us and the Cannibals that were once known as the Democratic Party.  A very lonely Jim Bunning has bravely decided to block an extension of benefits for the country’s unemployed because he wants Congress to live up to the promise it made regarding Pay Go.  Political suicide... which is why no other Republican is willing to stand with him.  You see, Bunning has fallen into the Democrat's nasty snare.  They wring their clammy and gnarly little hands and provocatively wonder aloud, “How can anyone be so cruel?  Doesn’t Bunning know that people are suffering?” 

 

It may seem hyperbolic to your weary eyes, but Cannibals are exactly what the Democrats are, and lustfully they’ve laid the traps for how to entrap their next meal – The best thing We the People can do is remember that the Democrats are the ones who brought us to this little nightmare of a party.  One should not to trust their poisoned rhetoric, and if your head is spinning from all their malevolent distractions, let me remind you about how we ended up in this mess. 

 

Having steered our economic ship to an uncharted island, they smashed our GPS and told us we were lost.  They assured us that there would be a search and rescue vessel any day now, so not only should we not search for food and drink, but we should use what provisions we had to have a little party for the working people of the country.  As resources dwindled, the country weakened and people started to panic.  When voters complained about the cold and dark night falling upon us, conservative Republicans suggested that we should look for fire wood.  “How can you be so cruel?” screeched the Dems with acidic distain.  “Can’t you see these people are weak from hunger?  We can smash the boat and use it for fuel.”  And against Conservative advice, Americans did just that. 

 

“See how warm we are?  The Republicans wanted you to freeze,” cried the Democrats.  And the tired and hungry electorate dimly nodded, remembering how cruel the Republicans had been.  But then the last of the wood was burned.  And the Democrats looked to the voters and said, “Those Republicans always want you to go without.  They never have any good ideas for keeping us warm and dry.” 

 

With food scarce and fear and weakness at an all time high, Democrats are now sizing up the group and whispering into the ears of their fellow Americans.  “We’re hungry.  We have no choice.  If we want to survive, we must eat someone.  We’ll just eat one.  Someone small.  We have no choice.”  And, sadly, not for the first time in our collective histories, Americans are actually willing follow these self-destructive Democratic initiatives.  They are selling their souls and our country’s future for a momentary comfort.  To be sure, the comfort will be fleeting. Soon the Democrats will be back to whisper in the American ear, “It wasn’t so bad eating a person.  If we do it again, we should pick someone bigger.  We really have no choice.”

 

My friends, there is always a choice to do what is right.  We the People know that the only way out of this mess is through the knowledge that our Republic will weather this crisis without eroding our Constitutional principles.  A democratically elected Congress enacted Pay-Go as an assurance to the American people that we will no longer spend money we don’t have.  It is imperative that they honor their promise.  If they don’t live by their own rules then this country will have entered a period of legislative anarchy from which our Constitution may never recover.  We must not let them slither away from the truth.  We must hold them to their word.  We the people do have a choice.  We can choose to tell the Democrats – not “no,” but “Hell no.”         

  

Time to start gearing up for this year’s Tea Party.  If you are a conservative blogger in Illinois, Please join www.blogcatalog.com

 

It is a networking group for fellow bloggers.  When you have signed up as a member, mosey on over to the Illinois Conservative Coalition – this is a group of Illinois bloggers who are interested in moving the conservative agenda and the political discussion forward.

  

Here’s a funny little item.  According to a CNN poll, 56% of Americans believe that the Government poses a threat to personal liberties.  And yes, I said CNN.  I know, right?  CNN actually got one!  Of course, we know that if CNN said 56% then it’s probably more like 60%, but we’ll take what we can get. 

Let me stray from what I would like to write for one quick moment, because I enjoyed this little spin from

Paul Steinhauser of CNN:

“The survey indicates a partisan divide on the question: only 37 percent of Democrats, 63 percent of Independents and nearly 7 in 10 Republicans say the federal government poses a threat to the rights of Americans.”

Now, bless his heart.  The fact that Independents are included in this survey should illustrate the fine point that this is NOT strictly partisan…unless, could it be?  Is Mr. Steinhauser admitting that most “Independents” are actually Conservative in nature?  Why, that would mean that most Americans  have more in common with the Republican Party than with the Democratic Party.  Wow.  Who knew?

Well.  I did, but I digress.

Let’s get back to the meat of the matter, which is that most Americans fear that their individual freedoms are in jeopardy.  I'll extrapolate, because I assume that this means most people believe the government is working against their best interests.   And what’s more, there may even be a universal fear that the government would be willing to put citizens down if they complain about it. We have finally come to that moment in our history from which our forefathers worked so hard to protect us.  Human nature being what it is, it was inevitable.  

It is now time for a great awakening in this nation, because asleep is what we have been.  Comfortable, compliant and non-confrontational.  But in waking up, we can now leave behind this quasi dream-state and remember that it is not our Government that makes us unique in a world of nations.  It is our Constitution.  If we find that our government intimidates us, we must use our Constitution to push it back into the corner where it belongs.  And for once, I find myself echoing the Democrats when I say, “It’s for the children.”       

  

 

President Obama wants to be clear.  He wants you to know that he is not a Socialist.

 

Okay, I’ll play.

 

In the year that you have been President, you have orchestrated the takeover of General Motors.  You are attempting to nationalize the health care system.  You have decimated the dollar, undermined the economy, spent us into a level debt that can only be called insurmountable, forced millions of people into the kind of unemployment that looks to be never-ending -  is that it?  Gosh, I feel like I’m missing something.  And man, has this been a long year or what?

 

So if you are not a Socialist then you are... help me out here.

 

“Contrary to the claims of some of my critics (all of your critics, Mr. President), I am and ardent believer in the free market.”

 

Yes.  And I am an ardent believer in soufflés, duck a la orange and a nice cabernet.  But tonight we’re riding the Mc Nugget express.  What’s your point?  You know what would help me with my doubts about your economic intentions?  If you are truly NOT a Socialist, then stop acting like a Socialist.  Stop doing all those things that Socialists do and do some things that Capitalists do.  Here’s some ideas.  Cut taxes.  Leave my health care alone.  Stop spending money that we don’t have.

 

 Why is that so difficult to understand. 

 

  

This will be quite an adventure...
