I'm tired of business owners and CEOs being demonized by millionaires and billionaires that made their money in a b/s industry: entertainment. Business owners provide jobs and drive innovation, so they earn the money they make. How does Michael Moore, Tim Robbins, Johnny Depp, Alec Baldwin, etc help anything? They do not provide full time jobs. They do not spur innovation. They do not help people get ahead in life. They do not invest in other businesses and other markets, which lead to more businesses being created, more jobs, and more innovation. They make money by pretending to be someone else, and then have the audacity to criticize business owners who EARN their money.

I don't care if AIG is going down, they have a right to give bonuses to whoever they want as they are a private business. Of course, the stimulus money that they got(even though I disagree with it) should have had strings attached. But Dodd, Pelosi, Reid, and Frank had to pay off the people that helped their power grab. If I was a business owner who was forced to take money while my business was collapsing, I would give a lot out to my execs and employees and escape while I can. But of course, the democrats wanted to filter money through AIG to Bank of America(who already received stimulus money) and other American and European banks. So they couldn't let AIG collapse. Then they ask a well-known CEO to step in and save AIG. He is getting paid $1 a year to try and bring this company back to life. The second it begins to fall apart more, he gets blamed for it. Long story short, the democrats have grabbed alot of power by knocking AIG down and putting all of the blame on the CEO that they begged to help AIG.

Just look at the policies they are passing and control they are grabbing as the auto industry goes down and as AIG, Fannie Mae, and Feddie Mac have been going down. The public is backing these policies because the public freaking out and has too much trust in the government. We are beginning to be forced to rely on the government. As more government jobs are created, the more we will rely on them. The more we rely on them, the more control they have. If they control a good percentage of the jobs, control private sector industries, control health care, and control energy, we can not say anything about what they do. We can not stop them from doing anything, we just have to go along with it. Also, notice the decline in innovation. Investors Business Daily often writes about the sharp decline in innovation. Innovation drives our market. No innovation, no market. No market, we rely more on the government to save us and help us. This is what we are heading towards. And god knows Obama is an idiot, so its not him I'm blaming. It's whoever is pulling his string. It's a one way road to hell unless we can show them that we are not going to take it.

Geraldo Rivera is an idiot anyways. Wasn't it like 10-15 years ago when he did a special on the opening of Al Capone's safe? And it ended up being empty, making him look like another idiot with a ridiculous mustache.

Haven't you seen some of my other posts? Whenever I say anything about the Constitution, I make sure to mention that I probably just got flagged by DHS.

But I agree with everyone else, I hope that are monitoring this website. If not, why am I bothering to say anything on here? haha I just want to see if I do get flagged. Maybe I'll get to see Guantanamo before it closes. According to Miss Universe, it's really nice there.

I guess it is too bad for them that trees breath carbon dioxide and that carbon dioxide is needed in our atmosphere to sustain life. Does anyone else remember when they were talking about firing trash into the sky to reflect sunlight because global cooling was running rampant? Or when these same "scientists" wanted to dust the ice caps with ash to reduce global cooling?

They tried once to get people with this stuff, now it looks like they are making it stick. It has actually been proven, by different "scientists" that the earth is, and has been, cooling for a long time now. I know that in North Carolina we had more record lows last year than record highs. I guess global warming is supposed to drop the temperature?? That doesn't make sense....

Well lets use that as fuel for the fire. Lets get on this and make the next one bigger. And then make the next one even bigger. Lets keep growing this as much as possible until it DOES accomplish something. If these rallies accomplish anything at all, it would be more than anyone ever expected it to. I honestly thought these TEA Parties would amount to nothing. I figured a few thousand would show up across the country, maybe even in the tens of thousands. But thats how many people Britney Spears can get to come to her concerts, so that wouldn't be anything of consequence.

I was surprised on April 15th as I watched Fox News and I watched hundreds of thousands of people coming out to celebrate what America really is. And as I watched Glenn Beck stand in front of 15-20,000 people, I knew that this is not some small, pointless event. As I watched some silly little CNN "reporter" act like she was being beaten, I knew it was something special. I remember watching that video, when she was interviewing that guy, the entire crowd of probably 5-10,000 got silent. When she rebuked him, EVERYONE started yelling at her to let him speak. Thats when I knew that this could truly be something amazing. All of those Americans, showing their pride, showing that they still believe in America, backing that guy up when he was basically attacked by the reporter, it did remind me of 9/12.

It made me remember America coming together. It made me remember our President standing tall, as if he had all of us on his shoulders, but refusing to let us fall. It made me remember our President throwing out the first pitch in the first world series game and how the crowd erupted. It made me remember the first, and only, time I was rooting for the Yankees because New York needed that to try and put 9/11 in the back of their minds, even if just for a few hours. It made me remember the pride I saw in our country. American flags on every house, strangers being polite to each other just because we were all in this together. We stood strong and proud, together, as Americans.

On 9/12, there were not any African-Americans, Asian-Americans, European-Americans, poor, rich, white, or black. There were only Americans. I have always been proud of this country and I have always loved this country, but in the year or 2 after 9/11, I was more proud than I probably ever will be. We came together for each other, to save this country. I don't care if you are republican or democrat, we had the right man in office. He stood tall, he never waivered. He didn't make any empty threats. He didn't back down. He gave the world an ultimatum. If he backed down from that, we would have lost the world's respect and no other countries would be helping us fight terrorism today. But he didn't. The UN couldn't pass any substantial resolution, so our President made our enemies feel our pain. The world could come with us and help us, or we would go alone. Either way, we were going to get them.

Bringing that feeling back to me, that same feeling of pride and love for my country, that is what these TEA Parties accomplished, if only just for me. And that is why we need to continue this. We need to fight to win OUR country back. They need to know that we will not be silenced, we will never be silenced. I want ALL Americans to feel the same pride and the same strength that we did on 9/12. I want all Americans to remember when we were helping each other up, and when needed, holding each other up. I want all Americans to put aside their differences and take our country back, together.

These TEA Parties can be one of two things: They can be something that in 10 years is only remembered on one line of a history book or they can be something that is remembered in the hearts of all who call themselves Americans. You tell me, which one will it be? I hope everyone has the time to read this, and I hope that all of you can post what you felt on April 15th.

Try getting that through congress and through the supreme court. I don't care if they are republican or democrat, no supreme court justice would be ok with that. We do not have any George Washington's in America anymore. We just have democrats who are trying to overturn term limits across the country.

I would like to have everyone's opinion on this. For far too long, liberals have been getting out and looking like they are the majority. Conservatives have been the silent majority since I began caring about politics. I am not suggesting we fight dirty like them, but we need more rallies. We need to show our numbers. We need to let EVERY conservative in this country know that they are not alone. We needs tens of thousands of people in the streets of all major cities at least twice a year. We need to show the liberals that we will not be backed into a corner and we will not let the America that we all know and love disappear. We need huge rallies that the media will NOT be able to ignore. I am not saying that we need violence or rioting like the liberals.

What we need is a nationwide rally to support our beliefs, support America's heritage, and most importantly support our soldiers so that they know we will never forget about them. I know this has been talked about, but July 4th would be absolutely perfect. I estimate that on April 15th over 1 million people went to TEA Parties across the country. Most of these were held around noon. On July 4th, almost no one will be at work so I can make a fair estimation that we could have 5 million, if not more, out in the streets showing America that we have not gone away and showing the liberals that we will never go away and we will NEVER give in to the desecration of our Constitution. I want to set up a website to help organize this and start ASAP. I want to have organizers in EVERY city across the country with more than 50,000 people. I want our voices to be so loud that no one will be able to hear the voices of ACORN.

I am not talking about starting a new political party or anything like that. I just want to get back to the principles of the constitution. I want the government to know that they can not do anything without our say. I want them to know that before they eat dinner, they have to ask us first because they work for US. I want them to know that the Constitution is the most important and sacred document to this great nation.

Basically, I want them to know that we are here. Please, give me your input, let me know what you think. Any ideas, suggestions, comments, questions, please post them. And if you are a liberal, I guess do what you always do when you have nothing to say and attack me with insults and incomprehensible rants.
