We had our leftist terrorist riots and burnings and bombings in 1970’s. Defeated, they went “establishment” and like Ayers they also went Academic. But the rest of us stayed calm and organized. President Obama may be their man, a community organizer, who organized to bring the radical left into control of the government. But this IS America and there are fifty sovereign States, with fifty Governors and fifty legislatures. So, the rest of us stayed calm, and now we have organized behind the movement of ” Tea Party” activists who can pack the Mall in Washington, D.C. and can organize the voters in Primaries and the General Election. Let ALL elected officials beware, the police will not baton us, the Army will not quell us, because we will not riot, but we will organize, recruit and we definitely will vote. So, Senator Lugar is wrong to tell the citizens to “get real”. Who’s reality is he talking about? Obviously, at 78 years old, he thinks that his opinion and mode of operation is “real’! In fact, he thinks it is the only reality. Well, let’s prove to him that he needs to retire, as does Olympia Snow and Scott Brown, and Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid, and of course, NANCY and all the rest of the elected officials who put themselves and their personal opinions before the intent and directions of the people. We may not pitch our tents in the square before the White House, but we sure know how to get out the vote.

About Senator Scott Brown
Sad story and I am sorry for him and now that (for whatever reason) he has gone public, I am sorry for his family. Look, I am a Republican and I just don’t see what his abuse has to do with anything or anyone, other than himself. Now, let me say. I was not abused. But I was disciplined. I was not abused but I witnessed domestic fighting and hollering and even physical pushing and knocking around. I was not abused but I witnessed the use of the strap and it was not pretty. I was not abused but I saw the destructive efforts of alcohol. So I must ask the question, why does someone go public with their very sad and horrific story of abuse? I really am confused. Look, we know it happens. We know it is bad. We have plenty of educational material and social service, religious and governmental agencies to address it. And let me be very clear, I do not believe it should ever be in the closet. None the less, what’s the point for Senator Scott Brown to make these revelations, now? I don’t understand. It seemed like he had handled it all. It seemed like he was a well adjusted individual who had coped with the problems of his life, come out on top and moved on. Now we see it differently. And Yes, I am sorry for him and as I said, for his family. But what’s the point? Are we supposed to take his example as our example and all rush out and confess and lament about all of the various forms of difficulty we survived as children. Hell, I could do that. But I am not a Senator and I just don’t see the point. I mean there is a trace of self centeredness in public officials revelations of their childhood trauma. So, what? I really don’t know what to make of this?! I am sorry for him, but although some would say he was courageous to “out” this private and personal information, I do not call that courage. Yes, if he privately told his wife. And Yes, if he prepared and warned his children. But to go to the public media and tell your story. What’s the point?
Does Obama Love America?
One question keeps repeating itself. Does Barack Obama love America? It seems that all we hear is Mr. Obama criticizing America. He has said that we eat too much, that we are fat and that it is his job and that of his wife to regulate what we are allowed to choose to eat!
He has said that our police are acting foolishly when we help black college professors protect their homes and then arrest the professor when he verbally assaults the officers who are helping him.
He has said that we love to cling to our guns and our religion. This reference to Pennsylvania citizens categorized them as backward, non thinking reactionaries who are ignorant, refuse to listen to “reason” and who prefer guns and Christianity to Washingtonian liberalism.
He has said that the legally elected Republican officials of the Congress can go along for the ride but they will need to stay in the back of the bus. This reference to Republican Representatives and Senators was before the 2010 election. In that election the citizens of America sent the Obama toadies back home and elected Republicans who promised to listen to their constituents and do what the people said that the people wanted.
He referred to the Republican congress people as the enemy. He said that the voters should regard all non democrats as enemies and treat them as such. This very devisive comment deepened and strengthened the antagonism of those who hate other people.
After refusing to participate in the National Day of Prayer and stating that such participation on his part would be a wrongful action of a non partisan US government official, he goes this year and gives an overt display of religious conviction. One cannot but help wonder why last year it was wrong to be publically a Christian but this year it is okay!
He bows to a Saudi king and the Son of a Japanese Emperor. While claiming this was only good manners, one can only wonder what a US President is thinking when he profoundly bows before a feudal Saudi king and deeply bows before the son of a former war time enemy. Strange that he and Mrs. Obama should merely hug the Queen of England!
He shares books with Hugo Chavez but denounces Hosni Mubarak. Is Hugo a democratic leader or a dictator? Why is Hugo okay but Hosni is not okay?
The list could go on and on. However, the point is clear. The President of the United States of America does not love the nation of which is he the elected leader. He scolds Americans, criticizes Americans and hold citizens in contempt.
In the next election the citizens should send him into retirement.
