I cried today because our country is disintegrating before our eyes. I cried today because I am sad and outraged by some of the proposals I have heard from Obama, Pelosi and the other Commie clowns. Tracking miles driven via GPS? Threats to tax 100% of someone's earnings if they don't do what they want? What kind of insanity is this? Is this like the beginning of a fascist regime?

I also cried for my cousin Chad who died in Iraq last year, one of the best Americans you will ever meet. Raised in a small town in Nebraska, we travelled together to Europe and Asia in 2000 and I remember telling Chad about how grateful and proud I felt to call the USA home, truth is, there is no country like the USA! My cousin truly loved this country and he talked about making the ultimate sacrifice if necessary because he believed 100% in what America stands for: Freedom, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness, and sure enough he did not make the sacrifice for some stupid Socialist, Communist, Big Government Third World tyranny like what these people are trying to establish.

We both loved country music and he told me that if he ever died to always remember a verse of one of his favorite songs, Chicken Fried by Zac Brown Band, this verse defines the true American he was:


I Thank God for my life
And for the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly, let it ring
Salute the ones who died
And the ones that give their lives,
so we don't have to sacrifice
All the things we love

Tyranny is short lived and freedom will always prevail! I cried today for the country I love.

Kudos to you! Thank you for that post, and I thank your cousin for his sacrifice.

This is a time for action. We must stand up for what we believe in, so the brave men and women who have made that ultimate sacrifice shall not have died in vain.

We cannot let Obama succeed. To do so is to give up the country we have all know and loved.

Our representatives in Congress swore an oath to protect, defend, and uphold the Constitution of the United States. We need to hold their feet to the fire, and insist that they do that job.

There job is not to "fundamentally change" America. It is to preserve and protect it.

I have been told that calling your representatives is better than writing (even using their Web forms). Call them, and call them often, and express your dislike for the direction they are taking us, and for the out of control spending that Obama and the Democrats are shoving down our throats.

This spending will be our ruination. It has to be stopped at once.

Insist upon a capital gains tax reduction, or elimination altogether. We know what works. This would jump start the economy in a big way, and prevent job losses.

These Obama proposals must be rolled back. He has done nothing good, but only harm.

Many Democrats are becoming nervous. Good. Call them. Make your voice loud and clear.

I have called, and I will call again and again.

I'm sure you miss him terribly. The people in Iraq, like all people, deserve the basic freedoms we take for granted here. When all the finger pointing is done and all the politicizing of the war is over, the people over there will have something they could have never experienced without courageous and devoted young men like your cousin making it all possible.

I agree with your sentiment, but instead of crying, I get mad....and I plan to do something. The 2010 election is coming up faster than we think. We need to work to get these clowns out of the House and Senate, and then concentrate on Obama in 2012. If we see a big Democrat loss in the mid-term election, my hope is that a message will be sent and from a practical point of view some of this nonsense can be stopped.

The federal government must start to live within its means and act like the 50 states who have to balance their budgets. This idea of spending whatever you want and just talking about soaking the rich is taking us down a primrose path. We're getting to the point where even if we taxed the top wage earners at 100%, we couldn't close the budget gap. The spending has to stop.

I share so many of the same sentiments that all of you have stated. However, the upcoming election will do very little change anything. It's long past time for a third party and term limits in our government.

The two party system simply continues to perpetuate infighting and repeating the cycle of having the same clowns, performing in a slightly different circus. It's long past time to wake up America.

My my aren't we all so melodramatic?

When something doesn't go your way you call it a fascist regime? It seems that the little spoilt brats we went to kindergarten with finally grew up ...and turned into big spoilt brats. Wah wah.

And it was Bushie that sent your cousin to Iraq.

And I suppose that the Congressional resolution authorizing use of force in Iraq means nothing? All the key Democrats voted in favor, including the current Sec of State and the 2004 Presidential Candidate. Try listening to the floor speeches by these same Democrats using the same rationale as the President. Learn some history, including the end of the Gulf War in 1991, the Clinton years and Iraq, and what happened on 9/11/01.

I just love the convenient loss of memory on this subject.

Like the convenient misuse of the word fascist? I've heard the floor speeches. But it was Bush that declared War.

And can we please freaking stop mentioning 9/11? That was a sad attack but what the HELL does that have ANYTHING to do with putting his cousin to death in Iraq? Red herrings seem to be what the blind cheerleaders do best.
