Ok, so I've been gone for awhile. I could use the excuse that there were the Holidays, and, work, and etc.etc., but the truth is that I think that many of us, including me, may have had an overload of current events that left us speechless. That, and the fact that I didn't think anyone was listening, or in this case, reading, anyway.
A lot has happened in the last few months. A lot that we thought was not possible in the United States.
We have pretty much trashed the idea of rule by the people. We have changed the structure of the House and Senate, and behaved in a manner unheard of in the history of the country.
We have alienated friends, and embraced long standing regimes that we once abhorred.
It would take me quite awhile to update my section on "Disturbing Quotes of Our Time", but, I will try to catch up.
A few of the most amazingly, disturbing quotes, have happened within the last month.
These are paraphrased but, you get the gist.
Al Sharpton on the events of the day, explained to America that we shouldn't be so astounded at recent developments, since we knew that Obama was running on a Socialist platform and yet, we elected him. Why then, are we so upset when he initiates these proposals.
Well! I thought that when the conservatives mentioned Socialism in the past, that it was an outrageous and bizarre part of our collective imaginations.
Both Pelosi and the Prez stated vehemently and, with little tolerance for the rest of the country's apparent stupidity, that if we would only listen to them once in awhile, we would know that once the Health Care Reform bill was passed, then we, and they, would actually get to see what is in it.
When did Bills, and, eventually laws of the land become demoted to surprise grab bags?
We have been informed by the elected officials of our land themselves that votes now depend on the so called "sweetheart deals", or on the flip side, whatever dirt can be dug up on the official that might just sway his or her vote. No one seems to be embarrassed by this method of vote gathering.
Then, of course, there is the latest Bidenism. What can I say? Biden chooses to use a certain, "non acceptable in public" word, in a very public place, during a very public press conference, and, the Prez thinks it was the best part of the day.
Give me strength!

I am a conservative and a patriot. I believe in the original concept of Democracy. This country worked hard for it, sacrificed many lives for it, and set an example for the world. We do not need a "remake". As with any government, or society, there is always room for improvement. There are always wrongs that need righted. However, the concept of throwing 200 years of struggle for our way of life away for a massive world socialist dream is unacceptable. So is talking down our country, which has done more for the world, contributed more in physical and monetary aid than any other country, and sacrificed more lives for the salvation of others than any other nation.
The Executive and Legislative branches of our government are elected offices, presumably for the benefit of all the people and the preservation of our country. They are trusted positions, not to be taken lightly, not to be used as a "playground" for partying and spending. In theory, these people are supposed to be in touch with the people, and, at the very least, they are required to understand the policies that they vote on. If they don't have the time or the intellect to do their jobs, then maybe it's time they were replaced. Elections are coming.
If we are asked, in the future, to put our country in the hands of the intellectual elite, we are in big trouble.
We have carried political correctness and fear to the point of distorting history itself. We are furthering our own agendas by altering text books, apologizing for our past, denigrating ourselves in the eyes of the world. When the truth is, the world does not want a weak America. To many around the world, we are the dream that they want to come too, a last bastion of hope, and rightly so.
I intend to include some historical distortions that have appeared as historical documentaries.
I also included some disturbing quotes of our time.
Whatever else we can say, we cannot say that we weren't warned. The question now is, "Do we care enough to stand up for our country?"
