"THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO RESTRAIN THE PEOPLE, IT IS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE PEOPLE  TO RESTRAIN THE GOVERNMENT LEST- (GOVERNMENT) COME TO DOMINATE OUR LIVES AND INTEREST."  PATRICK HENRY

Gotta love Thomas Jefferson.  Many know he was one of our most prolific Presidents of all time but lately I'm starting to see his prophetic side as well.  He warned us about a too large government saying "a government that is big enough to give you all you want is also big enough to take all you have."  I saw this Jefferson quote today in our local paper  and thought again how prophetic he seemed to be given the signs of the times: "The two en...

I came across this quote the other day in my reading.  It was written by Thomas Macauley, a British Parliamentarian who wrote these words concerning the United States in 1857: "Your Republic will be as fearfully plundered and laid waste by barbarians in the 20th century as the Roman Empire was in the 5th Century, with this difference-the Huns and Vandals who ravaged the Roman Empire came from without and your Huns and Vandals will have been engendered within your own country."   ...

I'd love to give credit to whom credit is due.....sent to me by a friend.  Couldn't say it better myself:   This is difficult for me to admit but, admit it I have to: My liberal friends were right.              They told me if I voted for McCain, the nation's hope would deteriorate, and sure enough there has been a 20 point drop in the Consumer Confidence Index since the election, reaching a lower point ...

I'm absolutely shocked that we haven't had a revolution by now.  But I think what we have here is the whole boiling frog theory.  We didn't see this happening at first and now we're cooked.  And the new laws and taxes just keep on coming with no end in sight.  Sent to me by a friend:   This may seem funny at first, but by the end, you'll realize the awful truth of our taxation system and what big government is costing us. ...

I don't get Fox News on my cable plan but am hoping to change that soon.  So I miss all the good stuff when it first comes out.  I don't trust the liberal media although it's all I mainly watch for lack of anything better.  I take it with a grain of salt.  I know it's truth mixed with a very strong dose of bias and a dash of downright error.  Anyhow a friend sent this along since I didn't see it broadcast.  My first thought is Barney Frank and Chuck Schu...

Earlier I posted an article on throwing a big tea party.  http://kfc.joeuser.com/article/342738/Lets_Throw_A_Tea_Party#comments Today a friend sent me a really good video that must have started the whole tea party idea going.   At the time of my earlier posting I didn't know about the video but think it's worth a look.   I wish I had seen this earlier.  If you haven't seen it, it's worth a few minutes to check out.  "Thomas Paine" see...

Let's have a tea party.  Why not?  It can't hurt.  This is a non-violent, non threatening way to make our voices heard.  It doesn't take alot of effort but gets the message across loud and clear.  I've got lots of tea I can spare.  Sent to me by a friend.  There's a storm abrewin'.  What happens when good, responsible people keep quiet?  Washington has forgotten they work for us.  We don't work for them.  Throwing...

  This is short and true.......says it all. Luke ''The Drifter '' says : "We Americans were tired of being thought of as dumb by the rest of the world . So we went to the polls in November and removed all doubt."

Hopefully Obama looks at these results and realizes that the country may have elected him President, but they are still in favor of "conservative" values especially when it comes to the definition of marriage:   Arizona, California, and Florida all voted to ban homosexual marriage (thats 100% of the states where this type of vote was on the ballot).  Yay Florida!  Nebraska voted to end affirmitive action (Colorado is still a toss up).   Unfortunately you can n...

I was not happy that we were forced to watch Obama last night.  I mean sure, we could turn off the set but maybe, just maybe we wanted to watch our regular programs.  I sure, as heck, didn't sit in front of TV with baited breath inhaling every word that spilled from his mouth.  He must really think himself worthy to do such a thing.  Did you catch Obama's comment about how the Republicans are calling him a socialist probably because he shared his toys in kindergarten? ...

How about a little JU poll to make the election even more interesting?  Since we live all over the country it would be informative to check each one of our states and see if we can report who has the edge in their perspective state.  The national polls and maps I've seen so far have Florida as a blue state.  I was very surprised at this because here I was thinking I left a blue state for a red one only to see these latest polls, until today.  So it's looking like Flori...

My friend sent me this and I agree.  Let's just put it right out in the open.  Let's find out who's bribing who.  It might help us  to make better informed decisions.      Members of Congress should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers, so we could identify their corporate sponsors.

Fair Warning to Palin By Robert Knight Well, don't say she hasn't been warned. Sarah Palin cannot make even one mistake in Thursday's debate or she will be cooked.    George Stephanopoulos said so Monday on ABC's Good Morning America : "Picking up on what Kevin Madden said in David Wright's piece: Number one for Sarah Palin, she cannot make a mistake. A major mistake particularly on foreign policy would be absolutely fatal to her candidacy." Good Morning...
