Many have lived it and others go through life depending on it to be fact and sometimes never have to stand on that faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am living this today. I am standing on the faith that God will see us through our troubles and continue to bless us with the amazing grace He has shown all the prior days of our lives. I guess I'll explain what has happened, what is happening and the outcome, as far as we know it now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have never been one to share my personal strife or trials online or in person unless the one with whom I am sharing is a very close family member, IE: Mother, sister, wife. That being said, I am changing my policy because of the support we have received for our mission with the 9-12 Project Truck. The story goes as follows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the 17th of October, on our way from Salt Lake City UT to Atlanta GA I was driving through the Smokey Mountains in TN between Chattanooga and Nashville. Mont eagle is the town at the top of the mountain. &lt;iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;amp;source=s_q&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;q=Monteagle,+Marion,+Tennessee&amp;amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;amp;sspn=47.972233,112.675781&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;oi=geospell&amp;amp;cd=1&amp;amp;geocode=FZG4GQIdrjDi-g&amp;amp;split=0&amp;amp;hq=&amp;amp;hnear=Monteagle,+Marion,+Tennessee&amp;amp;ll=35.240081,-85.839698&amp;amp;spn=6.228043,14.084473&amp;amp;t=h&amp;amp;z=7&amp;amp;output=embed"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;amp;source=embed&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;q=Monteagle,+Marion,+Tennessee&amp;amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;amp;sspn=47.972233,112.675781&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;oi=geospell&amp;amp;cd=1&amp;amp;geocode=FZG4GQIdrjDi-g&amp;amp;split=0&amp;amp;hq=&amp;amp;hnear=Monteagle,+Marion,+Tennessee&amp;amp;ll=35.240081,-85.839698&amp;amp;spn=6.228043,14.084473&amp;amp;t=h&amp;amp;z=7" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left"&gt;View Larger Map&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you descend the mountain headed southeast, the scenery is unbelievable at all times of year but this morning seemed especially gorgeous. It was mid October, the leaves were changing, the sun was just cresting the mountain tops to the East, and it was cold enough that there was a heavy frost on most surfaces. The air was brisk but refreshingly clean with the windows of the truck cracked just enough to feel the cool breeze. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had the radio on and had, just prior to topping the mountain, been listening to Cowboy Church on&lt;a href="http://www.xmradio.com/williesplace/"&gt; XM 13 (Willies Place)&lt;/a&gt;, now renamed &lt;a href="http://cowboycampmeetingusa.com/"&gt;Cowboy Camp Meeting&lt;/a&gt; I believe. By the time I started down the hill on the south east side, &lt;a href="http://billmackcountry.com/"&gt;Bill Mack's Sunday Social&lt;/a&gt; had started on that same channel. I was looking out the window in awe of the beauty that morning. The sun was heating up just enough to start to warm the roofs of the few buildings you can see off to the south east. Many of the leaves had already begun to fall off the trees and that made the view of those buildings somewhat better though still a bit obscure. As the sun was warming the roofs the frost had started to melt and a fog or steam from that was rising off the roof of an old, somewhat dilapidated, small metal shed and the song below came on the radio behind &lt;a href="http://billmackcountry.com/"&gt;Bill Mack's&lt;/a&gt; booming, easily recognizable voice. The song is Kris Kristofferson's "Why Me".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/g2u_rEcWW8M?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/g2u_rEcWW8M?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure how any one man can be so blessed but in that moment, and actually in retrospect all moments, I feel I was and am the most blessed man on earth. Since I started driving I had always wanted to be in the Smokey Mountains at this time of year and under these conditions because I had always heard about the beauty that abounds. Words can do it NO justice. Even pictures cannot capture all the many facets of nature's beauty and God's gracious gifts. I could go on about this five minutes for a lifetime...but I'll not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We continued down the road and near Atlanta I noticed an SUV riding beside me and reading the side of the truck. The road there, reading, taking pictures and waiving for several miles, probably 10 miles or more in all reality. Finally I decided, in the interest of safety and traffic flow, to pull off the road and talk to the people and let them take some good pictures and learn about the 9-12 Project. I pulled off on an off ramp, exited the truck and gave them some reading materials. They signed the truck and allowed me to take a picture of them and their family. This was a very kind Christian family that was eager to learn about the mission.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TPwNcpdESAI/AAAAAAAAAVA/sQ7zN1t1HV0/s1600/IMG_1837.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TPwNcpdESAI/AAAAAAAAAVA/sQ7zN1t1HV0/s320/IMG_1837.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547323626828875778" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following a brief exchange we all moved on and Tina and I continued on to our Atlanta terminal for a Sunday afternoon delivery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After arriving at the Atlanta terminal we were asked to run a load into Miami that evening for Monday morning. The load was to be ready at 2100. We received a call at about 1600 that there was an earlier Miami load and asked if we could pull it instead of the later one. We complied and off to Miami we headed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE "UNWANTED SOBATICAL" CAUSING EVENT:&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Just south of Macon, at mile post 133, I pulled off the road due to shoulder, jaw and neck pain, and blurred vision. Any guesses? That's right, I was having a heart attack. Tina called 911 and I was picked up by an &lt;a href="http://tn-erin.doctors.at/dr/houston-county-ems-houstoncountyems"&gt;ambulance&lt;/a&gt; and transported to &lt;a href="http://www.mccg.org/"&gt;Medical Center of Central Georgia&lt;/a&gt; and into the emergency room. After some tests and preparatory procedures they rushed me to the Heart catheter unit and placed a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_stent"&gt;stent &lt;/a&gt;in one of the coronary arteries. The artery was 100% blocked by a clot that had broken loose from another location and moved to the heart causing a blockage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; On the night of the 17th of October, after all was said and done, the attending physician informed Tina and me that I had suffered a significant Heart attack but that most of the damage had seemingly been averted with prompt action by the &lt;a href="http://tn-erin.doctors.at/dr/houston-county-ems-houstoncountyems"&gt;first responders&lt;/a&gt; and my quick recognition of a problem, not to mention the amazing Emergency room team and the team in the heart catheter lab. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stayed in the hospital until the 22nd and was released to go home. Tina drove and we arrived there late Friday evening. Since that time, the news has gotten somewhat worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After much testing and many doctors visits, it has been determined that I have suffered a massive heart attack with substantial heart damage. The damage that I have encountered is bad enough that the &lt;a href="http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/documents/cardio.pdf"&gt;F.M.C.S.A.&lt;/a&gt; (page 94/95)will not allow my re-certification as a commercial driver. Further, it appears at this point that I will need an &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implantable_cardioverter-defibrillator"&gt;I.C.D. device&lt;/a&gt; implanted to regulate when necessary and shock when necessary, my heart function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving forward:&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Unfortunately, as mentioned above, the &lt;a href="http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/documents/cardio.pdf"&gt;F.M.C.S.A.&lt;/a&gt; will not allow me to be re-certified as a commercial driver with the condition of my heart nor will they permit driving with an icd. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find it heartbreaking that we will have to sell the 9-12 Project Truck. Many of you know our passion for the&lt;a href="http://www.the912project.com/"&gt; 9-12 Project&lt;/a&gt; and for the mission at hand of helping to wake up and educate the public on the demise of liberty as granted by God to our country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said, when God closes a door He opens a window. I am faithful in the belief that God will provide the path that we are to follow and will lead us down that very path through fervent prayer and his answers thereof. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, though the 9-12 Truck as you have grown to know it will no longer be on the road, at least not with the same vigor as before we will, in whatever endeavor we partake, be promoting, advertising and continue to espouse the &lt;a href="http://www.the912project.com/"&gt;Principles and values&lt;/a&gt; of the&lt;a href="http://www.the912project.com/"&gt; 9-12 Project&lt;/a&gt;, and we will be as loud and boisterous about it, just like before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will still, in the future be posting at &lt;a href="http://www.stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/"&gt;Stop the Destruction of America&lt;/a&gt; about current events and my disgust for our out of control government, local, county, state, and national entities all. Please follow along and find out, when I do, about our next venture. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing...May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back.

We must treat it as a precious piece of equipment, supplied for our use, and it must be taken care of like it is your only worry in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will be posting here from time to time in case you care to continue reading but there will be little news on the issue of the truck travels. I am going to try to arrange with the company to whom we are leased, for me to make the truck available, as well as myself, for appearances at venues and gatherings where we might be invited. If you have a gathering which you would like the 9/12 Truck, myself and or both to attend, please let me know here or at my &lt;a href="http://api.twitter.com/912Truck"&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/art.wayland"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; page and I will do what I can to see to it that we are there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately these appearances can no longer go uncompensated. It does cost a lot of money to run the truck up and down the highways but our fees will be as reasonable as can be expected with this administrations energy policies driving up fuel prices and the cost of living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you will all continue to check back often to see when the 9/12 Truck will be up and running again. Again, thanks for all your continued support. It is truly appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the mean time...&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Here is a novel item for the coming election year. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When The Politicians Are On TV, Blowing Hot Air And You Want To Scream, Just Grab Your Doll And Give It A Fling, Let Them Know...Hey, You Work For Me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.conservabid.com/ScreamnFling-Dolls,name,100491,auction_id,auction_details"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A useful, bipartisan doll to give you something to throw while watching the news and listening to the politicians lie with every motion of their lips.

I suspected it was going to be tough to get the time off after just having 3 weeks the month before but we made the request anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.forwardair.com/"&gt;company to whom we are leased&lt;/a&gt; and specifically Todd Haerr not only authorized the time off but made a special effort to help us arrive there in time to get the truck ready for the event. Thanks Todd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We got to the St Louis area on Friday morning, we went to my mother's place south east about 50 miles and spent Friday working on and cleaning the truck to get it ready. I also had a great visit with my mother as Tina did with her family. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Early Saturday morning we got up and headed back north to Collinsville to the &lt;a href="http://www.legion365.org/"&gt;American Legion Hall&lt;/a&gt;. What a great group of Veterans there is at that &lt;a href="http://www.legion365.org/"&gt;hall&lt;/a&gt;. The memorial out front of this&lt;a href="http://www.legion365.org/"&gt; hall&lt;/a&gt; is amazing. I neglected to get pictures but it was and is one of the nicest I have seen. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TKqam0p_ccI/AAAAAAAAAS4/1ICh5kzFk9w/s1600/IMG_1755.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TKqam0p_ccI/AAAAAAAAAS4/1ICh5kzFk9w/s320/IMG_1755.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524397884683809218" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The event started at about 1400 with some young ladies called the &lt;a href="http://gatewaygirls.com/"&gt;Gateway Girls &lt;/a&gt;singing and dancing for the crowd. I actually compiled the following video from many clips shot on that day. They didn't just stand and sing for 12 minutes or so, they would sing, then a speaker would babble on about something and they would sing some more. Here is the video of their songs on that day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jc9WOcFgKlI?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jc9WOcFgKlI?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the star Spangled Banner was performed by these &lt;a href="http://gatewaygirls.com/"&gt;amazing young ladies&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://imeanreally-im-mto.blogspot.com/"&gt;Mike Ortiz, a Tea Party Organizer and 9/12 organizer and conservative blogger from Danville Il&lt;/a&gt;, spoke to the crowd about the NRA's recent capitulation on the 1st amendment and then He spoke about what is known as "The National Popular Vote" &lt;a href="http://imeanreally-im-mto.blogspot.com/"&gt;Mike's&lt;/a&gt; speech is below in it's entirety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iXhJ4sKq-nM?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iXhJ4sKq-nM?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had another speaker who spoke about constitutional law but his was more of a hawk for his personal website than a speech about the constitutionality of what is going on in America so I chose not to include it here, nor will I mention his name or website. I believe he is a hindrance to the conservative movement and certainly to constitutional law. I just don't believe He knows more about the constitution than &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/David-BartonWallBuilders/101762193194695"&gt;David Barton&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href="http://www.wallbuilders.com/"&gt;WallBuilders&lt;/a&gt; does but he certainly made some disparaging remarks about&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/David-BartonWallBuilders/101762193194695"&gt; Mr. Barton&lt;/a&gt; who wasn't there to defend himself. It is certainly easy to attack what someone says or their person when they aren't there to defend themselves. Just another shameless, slimy attorney looking to make a name for himself. I will not be a party to furthering his cause, which seems to be Himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After my sister spoke for a few more minutes it was my turn. I was asked to speak about activism and activism with honor. My speech, in it's 3 part, 20 minute, entirety follows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_mc_K4K0LeE?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_mc_K4K0LeE?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iabXVxlBON4?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iabXVxlBON4?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/InJZCuefdts?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/InJZCuefdts?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the&lt;a href="http://gatewaygirls.com/"&gt; singing and dancing&lt;/a&gt;, the speaking and babbling was all said and done we mingled and had some great visitation and fellowship. I so love being around folks of like mind and those who are working towards the same goal... that being, Stopping the Destruction of America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few pictures of some of the folks who attended and some of those who signed the 9/12 Truck. The first two here are family members of Tina's. The lady in the red top is an avid reader of my pointless ramblings, she is Tina's Aunt Marlene. The second lady here, in the peach colored top, a life long Democrat, is one of Tina's cousins, Janet.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TKtlmQ1NBKI/AAAAAAAAATI/rJGc0kWITlI/s1600/IMG_1759.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TKtlmQ1NBKI/AAAAAAAAATI/rJGc0kWITlI/s320/IMG_1759.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524621075927598242" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TKtll5onqhI/AAAAAAAAATA/XkK4c--nMjw/s1600/IMG_1757.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TKtll5onqhI/AAAAAAAAATA/XkK4c--nMjw/s320/IMG_1757.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524621069700803090" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of attorney's, here is Carment Durso of Durso Law Offices in Belleville IL.

All he had to say about that idea was that they have the constitutional right to build the Mosque. He didn't ask the Imam not to build the mosque, he didn't say it was a bad or ill conceived idea, he didn't say anything but that Rauf has the constitutional right to build. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, along comes an American, Terry Jones, and no matter how whacked this guy may seem or be, I believe he too has the constitutional right to Burn this book...Not that he should but he does have the right. The President now comes out against this idea, against this pastor and says he should stand down. He didn't say that the pastor has the constitutional right to burn the quran, he simply said it was a bad idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really!!!! Why is it a bad idea for the pastor to to burn the quran in defiance of the Muslim religion being shoved down our throats but the Imam Rauf has the constitutional right to forge ahead with his &lt;a href="http://blog.park51.org/"&gt;Cordoba House project&lt;/a&gt;, no matter how incendiary?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, in my humble, usually less than popular opinion, the President knows that Christians aren't going to cut off heads to stop the &lt;a href="http://blog.park51.org/"&gt;Cordoba project&lt;/a&gt; and that the hate filled, religiously misguided, intolerant Muslims will do just that to stop or to protest the burning the Quran. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe it's time that Christians stand up and be counted. Maybe it's time that we let these intolerant people of a hateful religious cult that we are tired of them coming here and telling us that WE are the intolerant group. Is it really intolerant to say you disagree or more so to show your disagreement by killing the opposition?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't agree with Pastor Terry Jones intention of burning the quran or any other religious symbol of any group for that matter, but I do absolutely believe that we as Christians had better stand up and be heard, regardless of the backlash. The backlash at the second coming of Christ will be far worse for not standing for Christ than being murdered by a group of hateful cultists for burning a &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;book&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, I definitely believe that if the President is going to ask the Pastor Terry Jones to stand down on the burning of the quran, I believe that he should also ask the Imam Rauf to stand down on the building of the&lt;a href="http://blog.park51.org/"&gt; Cordoba House&lt;/a&gt; as a Temple of Conquer of the Trade Towers. And make no mistake, that is the whole meaning of the Cordoba House Project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is just no consistency in this administration. Well, that isn't exactly true. The consistency is in the idea that the administration must do anything they can to make the United States and her Judea Christian populous look weak or intolerant or even abusive and in making all others feel or look like the down trodden or abused. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wake up Mr President, love America or get the hell out, and that goes for everybody.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In GOD I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-3021669404302827929?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/3021669404302827929/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=3021669404302827929&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/3021669404302827929'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/3021669404302827929'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2010/09/why-in-world-would-president-of-united.html' title='Burning the Quran, Building the Mosque, Is there a Difference?'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-1668826565511027066</id><published>2010-09-07T14:26:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-07T14:33:11.777-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Restoring honor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='912 truck'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Glenn Beck'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='resort'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tea Party'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='912 project'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thomas jefferson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rally'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='james monroe'/><title type='text'>Our Vacation was Great</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaEXOj0zNI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/u1Wa3oUznSU/s1600/IMG_1662.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaEXOj0zNI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/u1Wa3oUznSU/s320/IMG_1662.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514240328341966034" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaEWjg3WtI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/3c7hus1iPCk/s1600/IMG_1646.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaEWjg3WtI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/3c7hus1iPCk/s320/IMG_1646.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514240316786825938" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaEWDtEOoI/AAAAAAAAAQs/OJWercMD1ZY/s1600/IMG_1645.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaEWDtEOoI/AAAAAAAAAQs/OJWercMD1ZY/s320/IMG_1645.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514240308248066690" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow, what a vacation. Busy, busy, busy but very rewarding. We spent the first week, from the 14th to the 19th or so, catching up on things at home. Collecting the mail, making emergency well repairs, again, and finding someone to mow the unkept mess that we call a lawn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second week, at least the first part of the week was spent getting ready for the "Restoring Honor" rally in D.C.. Words are inadequate to make known the true impact of this event. The estimates as seen in the Lame stream media of 87000 to 300,000 are absolutely ludicrous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though I have no experience or hidden abilities to count or estimate a crowd size, I can tell you that I think even I can tell the difference between 87000 "normal roamers" on the mall and what is to be believed as well over 600,000 attendees standing around enjoying an onstage event. Never the less, here are some pictures so that you can decide for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaIqdEzMoI/AAAAAAAAARU/JRtybEQuxq4/s1600/IMG_1603.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaIqdEzMoI/AAAAAAAAARU/JRtybEQuxq4/s320/IMG_1603.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514245056702395010" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaIp3Im3SI/AAAAAAAAARM/DmaV7lsmtdo/s1600/IMG_1607.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaIp3Im3SI/AAAAAAAAARM/DmaV7lsmtdo/s320/IMG_1607.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514245046517816610" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaIpRMbr9I/AAAAAAAAARE/ZxQ8e9bfemw/s1600/IMG_1642.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaIpRMbr9I/AAAAAAAAARE/ZxQ8e9bfemw/s320/IMG_1642.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514245036333314002" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While we were away from home for the rally, we stayed at a lodge type resort in Gordonsville VA, about 90 miles or so south of D.C.. This lodge was amazing. We had with us my sister, her husband and a long time friend and his wife. We rented a 2 bedroom 2 bath log cabin with a hide-a-bed couch at the resort which was called "Shenandoah Crossing". Man, what a beautiful, well kept, scenic, even all inclusive resort. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The top picture is of one of the three pool areas. Obviously, this is one of the outside area, but there also 2 others and they have indoor pool areas as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next photo is the view from our living room area at or near sunset. We had a screened in deck with a barbecue, a full kitchen, all the amenities for which you could ask. The third picture down is a picture of the outside of the cabin we rented. Honestly, this place was phenomenal. We could not have asked for a better place to stay, or for better company with which to spend our week of solitude. An entire week of no truck talk, very little political talk, no work, no worries other than where to go, what to eat, who's historical home site to visit, and where to spend next years time off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We met some great people in and around Gordonsville VA and Charlottesville VA area while we were there visiting Thomas Jefferson's palatial estate&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaRGvkEM5I/AAAAAAAAARo/b_2FeRXVdso/s1600/IMG_1625.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaRGvkEM5I/AAAAAAAAARo/b_2FeRXVdso/s320/IMG_1625.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514254338794730386" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and James Monroe's place as well.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaSb-h4AGI/AAAAAAAAARw/RDWcf9V9DLc/s1600/IMG_1640.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaSb-h4AGI/AAAAAAAAARw/RDWcf9V9DLc/s320/IMG_1640.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514255803100954722" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; It seemed that everywhere we went, we met and spoke to several people that were going to attend the "Restoring Honor" rally in D.C.. Even though we were at least 90 miles from D.C., there was no shortage of God fearing, Bible toting, America loving Patriots ready for an amazing day of "Restoring Honor". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We met Charles F Knight and his wife of &lt;a href="http://www.logs.net/index.html"&gt;Cedar Log Systems&lt;/a&gt; who came all the way from Colorado to be at the rally. Again, even 90miles south of D.C., it was as if everyone we visited with came for the rally on Saturday. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaT8-8uZYI/AAAAAAAAAR4/7MMT2E1ctYg/s1600/IMG_1622.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TIaT8-8uZYI/AAAAAAAAAR4/7MMT2E1ctYg/s320/IMG_1622.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514257469660882306" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third picture here is a picture in this group of a couple of young ladies we met while touring Thomas Jefferson's home in Charlottesville VA. They are Alyssa on the left and Angie on the right. What a great couple of nice young ladies touring and learning about one of America's great founders and presidents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday morning, after the rally on Saturday, it was time for us all to head our separate ways. Head for the house. After breakfast at the lodge restaurant, we, Tina and I, took the other four in our party to the&lt;a href="http://www.gocho.com/"&gt; airport in Charlottesville VA&lt;/a&gt; and we headed south in our rental van from Enterprise RAC. The other flew into St Louis and then drove the last 50 miles or so from there to their respective houses. Tina and I arrived home on Monday morning at about 0200 and went directly to bed. We needed a day or so to catch up on rest after our time in D.C.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a quick programing note here. We have been invited to speak at a Tea Party event in &lt;a href="http://www.legion365.org/"&gt;Collinsville IL. at the American Legion Hall&lt;/a&gt;. We will be there, with the 912 Truck and it would be great to see some of my truck driving friends and area 9/12er's and Tea party Patriots alike. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will be attempting to speak on honor and honor in activism. I hope to see some of you there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the mean time...&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Here is a novel item for the coming election year. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When The Politicians Are On TV, Blowing Hot Air And You Want To Scream, Just Grab Your Doll And Give It A Fling, Let Them Know...Hey, You Work For Me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.conservabid.com/ScreamnFling-Dolls,name,100491,auction_id,auction_details"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A useful, bipartisan doll to give you something to throw while watching the news and listening to the politicians lie with every motion of their lips.

The best definition I can find is in &lt;a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/"&gt;Miriam Webster's online dictionary&lt;/a&gt;. Following are the definitions. Just click the words for the definitions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/religion"&gt;Religion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/religious"&gt;Religious&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many years ago, I remember a preacher preaching a sermon on religion. I remember the point being that to be religious, one only has to do something, anything, including going to church to Worship God, with devotion and or regularity. The point being that anything can be done religiously. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've all heard sayings or phrases like, "he goes to the bank religiously on Friday evening", or "I take my health supplements religiously". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This word, like many in our vocabulary, has been morphed into things not necessarily intended for it's original meaning. I'm not nor do I intend to imply here that being religious is not a good thing. I believe it depends on what one is religious about and ones goals and beliefs as to whether or not it is a good religion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More to the point is to figure out what we believe "O"'s religious beliefs are or what "O" is religious about these days. Following is my observation concerning "O"'s religion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe Barack Obama worships at the alter of power. Power being his only god. I further believe that his only religion is politics. Stay with me here. You see, Obama's ride, or vehicle, to power is politics just as Christianity through Jesus Christ is our, or at least is my ride, or vehicle to God which is who's alter at which I worship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we watch Obama, we invariably see that his faith depends on to whom he is speaking. When he speaks to the Muslims, it seams that he likes to talk about his deep rooted Muslim back ground from his father's. When he speaks to a Christian audience, he likes to talk about his Christian mother and how his faith is grounded in Christian beliefs. Though I haven't seen, because I refuse to watch all his speeches, I suspect the same is true at speeches in front of Catholics, Jews, Budists, Etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being not sure whether I've made my point, let me say here, Obama is a panderer. He worships at the alter of&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt; politics&lt;/span&gt;, meaning whichever god is politically expedient to the audience to whom he is speaking. Pandering is&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt; politics&lt;/span&gt;. That makes&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt; politics&lt;/span&gt; Obama's only real religion and &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;power&lt;/span&gt; his only god.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-1388735714951194406?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/1388735714951194406/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=1388735714951194406&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/1388735714951194406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/1388735714951194406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2010/08/obamas-religionnot-muslim-not-budism.html' title='Obama&apos;s Religion...Not Muslim, Not Buddhism, Definately Not Christian'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-7247613599728629700</id><published>2010-08-22T09:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-22T09:35:08.635-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Judge Andrew Napolitano Natural rights Patriot Act  - Part 3 of 3</title><content type='html'>This is an absolutely must see video.

Man was I wrong. My goodness, how stupid of me to think that because we may disagree in one are or more that we can't agree in others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that in mind, I compiled a list of rules. This is an ever growing list and one that has been in the making since my political awakening 10 years or so ago. The more I learn about "the other end of the spectrum", the more rules I add.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the statement that sparked the compilation of the list. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"By looking at your page I really don't think you want to add me. You claim to be ultra conservative and I am at the other end of the spectrum. You claim that god rules your life and I think he is a really good fairy tale. Not to mention that I am also a Lesbian and think that one groups god should not rule everyone's life."&lt;br /&gt;Rene&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, The list...10 Rules for All Conservatives No 11 Rules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule #1.

Diversity can only be required of Conservatives BY those from "the other end of the spectrum."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule #3. No Ultra Conservative Christian my be friends with a God denying person from "the other end of the spectrum"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule #4. Those of other than "the other end of the spectrum" minds must not ever befriend those from "the other end of the spectrum"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule #5. We must introduce ourselves as heterosexual, God Fearing, Bible Thumping, Conservative, gay bashing, homophobic, haters when approaching a lesbian, homosexual, or bisexual, God denying person from "the other end of the spectrum...but only when asked to do so by the person from "the other end of the spectrum as not to be deemed presumptuous of ones beliefs or sexual orientations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule #6. Freedom of speech only applies to those from "the other end of the spectrum"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule #7. Profiling is only allowed by those from"the other end of the spectrum" to place all non lesbian, non Homosexual, non bi sexual, non God denying, Christian, Conservatives in one barrel. That would be the hater barrel according to those from "the other end of the spectrum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule #8. There is no allowance for like mindedness unless ALL opinions on ALL subjects are ALL the same as those from "the other end of the spectrum"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule #9. Difference of opinion or a different viewpoint is only hate when applied to the ones who disagree with those from "the other end of the spectrum". Otherwise it is only a difference of opinion or a different view point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule #10. When all else fails, refer to Rule #1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule #11. Always assume that when our message can no longer be attacked by those from "the other end of the spectrum" with facts, that the discussion will end with a hateful, usually vial or vulgar slur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, my response to the one I approached and to whom prompted this list and the eventual posting of the list...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously, I find it terribly disappointing that you believe that because my principles and values are different than yours that we can't have likes or dislikes that are in agreement in other areas of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Likewise, I find it discouraging that in an America that preaches diversity of opinion and lifestyle, even thrives on it, that two people who disagree on the existence of God or difference in policy or in politics not only can't but some are even unwilling to search out some like-mindedness in other areas of our lives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and I don't believe, in any way, that My God belongs to any one group, as you implied. Salvation, Redemption is there for all who are willing to ask and make an effort to live for the God to whom they look for that Redemption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be Well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So for all you folks out there who may not have the list, feel free to copy as necessary or refer to this site as often as you like. For those of you who wish to add a rule to the list, please leave a comment and once someone from "the other end of the spectrum" is consulted and agrees, I will add it to the list appropriately. &lt;br /&gt;Thanks for your input.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;This is their response to the rules...I have tried to remove the vulgarity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Well actually I was just trying to save you from being offended when at some point or another someone pisses me off and I post as my status message "I really wish all those god loving bible thumpers would go be with their god and leave me the f^@# alone". But I ended up offending you anyway just trying to save you from that. I guess thats what I get for trying to be nice.&lt;br /&gt;My bad!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;My response to their response to the rules and Rule #11&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well now, imagine that, someone from "the other end of the spectrum" taking it upon themselves to make decisions for others. Isn't that kind of the mantra of those from "the other end of the spectrum"? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems that those from "the other end of the spectrum" believe that we, conservative Christians or capitalists, or anyone else with whom they disagree, just aren't smart enough to fend for ourselves so they, those from "the other end of the spectrum" are always setting up blockades to avoid allowing the downtrodden, the simple mined, the less fortunate among us to learn from their perceived mistakes. I just didn't realize that I, as a Conservative Christian, was so fragile of mind, so unable to protect myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quite honestly, madam, what you need to know is this. I am never offended. You see, to be offended one must wear a chip on ones shoulder. To wear a chip on ones shoulder, one must have something in ones life of which they are ashamed or about which they are confused. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could never be "offended" by anyone's lack of mental clarity, their confusion about or shame of something in their life, not by ones choice of sexual preference, and not even by ones inability to think clearly past a vulgar, filthy diatribe almost always ending in conservative or God, or Bible thumping hater, or homophobe or the most commonly used bigot or racist. You, madam trucker, could never offend me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further, I need not any salvation that might be offered by a truck driving lesbian from "the other end of the spectrum". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, While I would never invite an unarmed assailant into my house and start shooting, my partner has advised me that I should not continue a battle of wits with an obviously unarmed assailant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good Day Madam and Be Well&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, with every proverbial dip of your quill you seem to provide another rule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Rule #11 for All Conservatives&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule #11. Always assume that when our message can no longer be attacked by those from "the other end of the spectrum" with facts, that the discussion will end with a hateful, usually vial or vulgar slur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be well and God Bless You and Yours&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-1124912993533273655?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/1124912993533273655/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=1124912993533273655&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/1124912993533273655'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/1124912993533273655'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2010/08/10-rules-for-all-conservatives.html' title='10 Rules for All Conservatives.'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-832709031746074032</id><published>2010-07-30T19:23:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-30T19:30:10.088-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='liberals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='independence day'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='progressive'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='America'/><title type='text'>Who is this Guy, I Don't Think Even He Knows.</title><content type='html'>I was roaming around a bit ago on the net and found a couple of posts from the same guy that are so diametrically opposed to one another you'd think they came from two different people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't figure out how this guy can reconcile these beliefs in his little pea brain. It is obvious to me that he has no idea as to what he truly believes and why he has those beliefs.

The law is to go into effect on the 19th of July barring a stay from the courts.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TEDlHyW3bSI/AAAAAAAAAOc/WUHsnZj1A84/s1600/illegal+aliens.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 215px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/TEDlHyW3bSI/AAAAAAAAAOc/WUHsnZj1A84/s320/illegal+aliens.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494643467331530018" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if I.C.E. won't work with Arizona for deportation, I say Jan Brewer should put out a call to all illegal aliens and say that if they will come forward between now and the 19th of July, that the state will purchase for them a &lt;a href="http://www.greyhound.com/home/"&gt;Greyhound Bus Ticket&lt;/a&gt; to any &lt;a href="http://www.ojjpac.org/sanctuary.asp"&gt;Sanctuary city&lt;/a&gt; in the country with no fear of prosecution by the state of Arizona. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that if she would start broadcasting now and promise a ticket to any "&lt;a href="http://www.ojjpac.org/sanctuary.asp"&gt;sanctuary city&lt;/a&gt;' or back to Mexico, their choice, that most illegal aliens would come forward in lieu of capture and prosecution at a later date. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If these tickets were bought 21 days in advance or if buses were chartered they expense, in my humble opinion would be far less than the drain on the state by letting them stay. A ticket form Phoenix to &lt;a href="http://www.ojjpac.org/sanctuary.asp"&gt;Portland ME&lt;/a&gt; would cost about $128.00 if purchased in advance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I further believe that if they don't come forward on their own and are caught sometime in the future in the state illegally, that they should be jailed, put on work crews in the fields and made to work for their keep in jail. The pay that they would normally receive from an employer, who would be employing them illegally, should be paid to the state by the person whose field in which they are working.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An added portion of the law, if not already there, should be back breaking, crippling fines to the employers caught employing any illegal alien. Between these fines and the wages paid to the state for the work crews, the costs could be offset.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;MR.

That being said, where does the responsibility of the parents and the personal responsibility of the young lady who killed herself come into play?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe the key words here are suicide, killed herself, and personal responsibility. Some people have weak minds. Some people just can't deal with life. I have seen many times in the past where someone tries to commit suicide, they fail, and are placed in a mental ward or forced to undergo counseling and placed on medication to "cure" them. I don't know, has anyone who tried to commit suicide and failed ever been successful in placing the blame and getting a conviction of someone driving them to that suicide? My guess is no. So what's the difference?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, in my little pea brain there is none, but to the politically motivated prosecutor, the law suit weary school, and the accusatory parents, it must be someones fault other than the poor little dead girls. I believe the "9 mean girls" are guilty...just not of murder. I think they a bullies and should probably suffer some consequences for the crimes they committed. I think if they threw a can of Red Bull at the young lady, they should suffer whatever consequences that crime holds, If they pushed her, shoved her, beat her, or otherwise assaulted her, those things have legal consequences. I don't believe, however, that they should be convicted of, indicted for, or even accused of murder if they didn't place the rope around the girls neck and remove her sound footing from where she stood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I too was bullied in school. I think everyone, at some point, was bullied. Everyone has someone with whom they disagreed. That usually led to some level of bullying by one or the other. I can't tell you how many time I had my rear end kicked in school. I had a gang of guys who were a year or so older than me, who just had to back me into a corner once a day or their day wasn't complete. Sometimes I fought my way out. Other times a teacher or some of my friends helped me get out, but either way, I usually ended up black eyed or bloody nosed. I had a group of guys who done the same things to a couple other guys smaller, fatter, uglier, smarter, richer, poorer weaker than we were. It's a kid thing. It wasn't something we killed ourselves over though. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bullying is just a part of life, sometimes you bully, other times you get bullied. We grow up and grow out of it, or we become a politician where bullying your constituents has seemingly become the way of governance in today's government. I don't see the constituency, for the most part, committing suicide though. However, if they did, and left a suicide note that said they were just tired of being bullied, pushed around, and harassed by the government, would the government be prosecuted for murder? I had a friend, a close friend, who committed suicide because he owed the IRS a bunch of money and they continuously harassed him by phone and mail for payment. Are those IRS agents culpable in his death? I mean...I'm just sayin'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you tell me. When is suicide murder?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-3742540937069057429?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/3742540937069057429/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=3742540937069057429&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/3742540937069057429'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/3742540937069057429'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2010/04/when-is-suicide-murder.html' title='When is Suicide, Murder?'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-5972273607505694423</id><published>2010-03-12T17:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-12T17:08:02.886-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Health care bill'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health care reform'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='suicide vest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='suicide bomber'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reform HCR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='osama'/><title type='text'>Is the Health care Bill a Suicide Vest?</title><content type='html'>Okay, so here’s the scenario.  Barack Obama is the leader, Osama Bin Laden. Nancy Pelosi is Ayman al-Zawahir and Harry Reid is Abu Yazid, Al Qaida’s number 3 man. The 435 House of Representative members and the 100 Senators are all their minions, the suicide bombers and the 2700 page health care bill that is on the table is the suicide vest meant to steal liberties, and reek financial ruin throughout America while leaving the masses stunned and dumb founded . The 72 virgins are being represented by the power and or job that each of the minions is being promised in exchange for the vote or strapping on the vest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the leaders, the ones who are pretty safe at this point are all standing at point telling the minions, it’s for you country, it’s for your party, it’s for the poor, the wretched, the downtrodden, the children. We’ve got your back, we’ll see to it that you and your family are cared for in the end. The voters will forget by November. Just strap on the vest run in there and carry it across the line for us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We the people know what will happen if the vote yes. We know we won’t forget. We know that some, most of us will survive regardless. We know that many will be hurt. Many of the ones that get hurt will be those that can least afford to be hurt. We’re screaming at the suicide bombers, don’t do it, do strap the vest on, don’t you dare strike out at America in favor of your party politics. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They continue to listen, most of them, to their party leaders, Osama, Zawahir and Yazid. They keep suiting up, strapping on the vest, and right now it appears that they are headed for town square to hurt and maim as many Americans as possible. All in the hopes of more virgins or in this case more power or a job with the administration after the November elections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, if the bill passes, all 435 jobs of the House of Representatives and 30+ Senators are in trouble. Two of the three leaders are without a doubt secure in their positions and the third, if he loses his Senate seat, will be placed among the other appointed leaders in the administration. I just wonder if it will be worth answering to the true supreme leader when the time comes for them.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who, who will or will anyone be able to stop the “hell bent on destroying America” suicide bombers. What else can we do to make a final stand? I feel as if we need to make a final march on D.C. the week of the 22nd. I can’t be there before then, but if anyone is willing to go with me, I am in the planning stages now to make that trip if the bill doesn’t pass by the 19th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-5972273607505694423?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/5972273607505694423/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=5972273607505694423&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/5972273607505694423'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/5972273607505694423'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2010/03/is-health-care-bill-suicide-vest.html' title='Is the Health care Bill a Suicide Vest?'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-2294864449239719105</id><published>2010-03-09T08:08:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-09T08:10:06.419-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='brad keselowski'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bb guns'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='massa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='carl edwards'/><title type='text'>It Was Funny “till an Eye Got Put Out”</title><content type='html'>I remember one time when I was young, my younger brother and I and a few neighbors were having a Bottle rocket war. We were aiming and shooting bottle rockets at each other and having a blast, no pun intended. My mother came out and after a few choice words she demanded we stop shooting bottle rockets at each other before someone got an eye put out. We complied, it was that or suffer the consequences, and I don’t mean standing in a corner for 10 minutes with no toys. Our consequences were real and showed real results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day, mothers at work, we decided to have a BB gun fight. Now, most men my age have done this. That isn’t to say it was smart but we were all John Wayne wanna be’s at one time. About 30 minutes or so into the fight someone got hit, near the eye. It’s been so long ago now, I don‘t even remember who, but the BB was actually embedded into the skin and we had to remove it before our mothers got home from work. No doctors, no Emergency room, no DCFS worker arresting anyone and taking us to a foster home, none of that, but it was fun until an eye nearly got put out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best I can tell, there may have been two similar incidents over the weekend. The first one I’ll mention is Carl Edwards in NASCAR purposely wrecking Brad Keselowski after Keselowski seemingly caused Edwards to wreck and destroy an otherwise good chance at a win. Edwards, after his team repaired his ride well enough to get back onto the track and finish the race, purposely waited until Keselowski got near him and without thinking of all the possible outcomes, bumped Keselowski in the left rear ¼ panel area, Keselowski went air born and came down on the driver’s side roof area. Potentially, a very dangerous way to land, luckily, a safe landing and probably a good lesson learned for Keselowski. Now, right or wrong, Edwards couldn’t have known the outcome of his actions, but at 195 mph, anything can happen. It’s kinda like shooting at you neighbors with a BB gun. Somebody is gonna get an eye put out if the horseplay continues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second incident involves Congressman Massa from New York. Massa was all about playing the political games, switching parties, giving and getting what he wanted or needed until he was poked in or near the eye. Now I don’t have any idea what happened as far as his votes or his sexual innuendos towards male staffers, or whatever, but my guess is that both sides were playing pretty rough. It certainly appears, on the surface that when he nearly got his eye put out, the game was no longer fun. It was funny ‘till an eye got put out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-2294864449239719105?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/2294864449239719105/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=2294864449239719105&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/2294864449239719105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/2294864449239719105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2010/03/it-was-funny-till-eye-got-put-out.html' title='It Was Funny “till an Eye Got Put Out”'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-2877893285548676331</id><published>2010-02-07T15:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-07T15:25:09.725-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='social security'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='superbowl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terrorists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='police force'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cameras'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie theater'/><title type='text'>Have the Terrorists Already Won?</title><content type='html'>Have you seen the security at the Superbowl? Have you noticed security at different venues when a crowd exists?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wife and I were in Miami last Saturday night, early Sunday morning before the Pro Bowl. On the way to our terminal we pass by the stadium in Miami. When I passed the stadium, I looked and seen a massive show of force of homeland security, Miami Dade Police, State Troopers etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, i was on the phone with a friend of mine who is at the Superbowl which is being held in the same venue as the Pro Bowl last week. He said that the show of force, the unbelievable show of a near militia type police presence is amazing. Armed with automatic weapons, bomb dogs, military like movement throughout. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look around and we have cameras everywhere, from street cams to stop light cams, security cameras on seemingly every corner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have they, the terrorists, already won and we are just too stubborn, proud, mindless to acknowledge the win? I have friends who laugh at me because I won't go to a movie theater with them. I try to stay out of shopping malls and other crowded arenas. Scared, not really, just pessimistically cautious I think. I just would rather not be on every security camera, in the line of every police officer, seen by every security force that exists. I feel invaded every time I have to go into an area that requires that I show I.D. that I wouldn't have had to show before 9/11.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You tell me, have they already won?

Why does it cost us taxpayer money to not ask and not tell that someone is gay?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just don't get it. My guess is that it will cost more taxpayer money to get this bill, that Congresswoman Gillibrand has apparently introduced, defunded or to stop it's funding than the policy itself costs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How much can it possibly cost for me not to ask and you not to tell?

I don't want to be involved with him more than to defend his life or he defend mine, but his choices in life are his. He has his God to answer to, he need not answer to me. My belief is that if the military has vetted him, trained him, and moved him forward with his training in the defense of our country, I can trust him to fight when needed and die if asked.

These folks will not only waste taxpayer funds on hand, but they are now wasting borrowed taxpayer funds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm begging you folks, anyone in America, who cares about America, get these dirt bag, spend thrift, low life, caterwauling, thieving, misguided, miscreants out of Washington D.C., out of our seats, out of power, and back to the failing households from whence they come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-1345236977110363695?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/1345236977110363695/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=1345236977110363695&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/1345236977110363695'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/1345236977110363695'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2010/02/what-thestop-funding-dont-ask-dont-tell.html' title='What the???Stop funding &quot;Don&apos;t Ask, Don&apos;t Tell&quot;'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-8524281669551886061</id><published>2010-01-21T11:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-21T11:41:40.236-08:00</updated><title type='text'>My Brain is Tired</title><content type='html'>I am truly sorry for the lack of posting to this site.

Judge Them by Their Works</title><content type='html'>Usually, when one goes for a job interview, their past is researched to find at what level of performance the person performed. Many things are taken into consideration. Length of employment, at each job prior, job performance, attitude, attendance, pay scale and increases, etc.. that being said, let's have a look at the job performance of our U.S. Government and determine whether or not they should be allowed to control 1/6th of the largest economy on earth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1775 the United States Postal Service was created. It was created to stand on it's own. Money derived from revenue to be reused as operating funds. It is said, on the USPS website, that they get no tax dollars to operate, however stamps go up consistently to cover the red ink of the prior years. 235 years later, not much more efficient than 1775 and still broken. I was always fired when I didn't make money for the company in the current year.  I didn't get the next year to cover my rior losses. Where's congress? Still on the horse, runnin' the mail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1935 the Social Security Administration was created to start stealing your tax dollars and redistributing them to the folks who didn't work, wouldn't work, wouldn't work hard enough or couldn't seem to save enough for retirement. This started a, now 75 year old, Ponzi Scheme destined to fail when the retired outnumber those contributing. Today,we are about 7 years from the tipping point. Bernie Madoff went to jail for his job performance. Where's congress? Well, they are still at the helm stealing and spending, frivolously, your tax dollars. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;F.D.R. has his place in history, on several occasions, but one of the most famous was Fannie Mae. Fannie Mae was created in 1938, during the Great Depression, to make more available, mortgages, to low-income families during the Great Depression. In 1968, the Government converted Fannie Mae to a private, share-holder owned corporation. In 2008, the government bailed out the "private share holder corporation, fired its ceo's, and now owns about 80% in preferred stock against the, hmmmhmmmm, private share holder corporation. Where's congress? 72 years later they are still running the organization into the ground, guaranteeing mortgages, with your stolen tax dollars, that shouldn't be made, for folks who shouldn't have a mortgage and blaming the problem on conservatism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1964, Congress passed the "Economic Opportunity Act" which culminated from Lyndon B. Johnson's, Jan 8, 1964, State of the Union address. This created the Office of Economic Opportunity to steal and re-distribute, locally, your federal tax dollars to combat poverty. Thus, the War on Poverty was declared. 46 years later, the war is still on, it seems to be expanding to a "Global War on Poverty", and we are still losing the war. Those who won't, continue to want, those who do, continue to contribute to those who want and won't. Where's congress? Stealing more tax dollars from those who work, for those who won't. It seems they have found a way to stay in the peoples employ. They'll just fund the ones that won't, with the stolen tax dollars from those who do.&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;-(I know mother, I ended that one in a prep. so what?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another of Lyndon B Johnson's miscarriages was Medicare and Medicaid for the elderly and indigent.Created in 1965 as part of the Social Security Act, and that started us on a downhill roll headed for...well you know. Today, Medicare and Medicaid, have been expanded over the years to cover, poor, indigent, disabled, unwilling, unable, and it's for the children too, through SCHIP. Where's Congress now? 45 years later, still trying to cover more people with less money and stealing more of your tax dollars for funding these intellectually challenged programs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A replacement for Fannie Mae was created in 1970 in the form of a younger brother, Freddie Mac. It was destined to fail, and that destiny is reached each year.Where's Congress? 40 years later, still funding, with more of your stolen tax money, and still reaching is destiny of failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1977, Jimmy Carter birthed, from the many subsequent agencies that followed the Atomic Energy Commission after WWII, the Department of Energy. The real purpose of this, as stated by Jimmy himself, was to reduce and eventually eliminate the need for foreign oil. Where's Congress today? Today, that cabinet level department of the United States Government, consists of about 16000 employees, another 93,100 contractors and about 24 billion dollars in funding from your stolen tax dollars. We are no closer to energy independence today than in 1977, as a matter of fact, we import more oil today than ever, all the while, more oil rich land, and sea floor, is discovered in this country, nearly daily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1979, oh yeah, another Carter abomination, the Department of education was created. The department of education was charged with creating programs to generate funds for education and for the enforcement of privacy and civil rights laws...according to Wikipedia. Now, I'm not sure what the enforcement of privacy and civil rights laws has to do with education so I suppose I'll leave that alone. Where's congress today? Though this is supposedly the smallest of the cabinet level departments, it housed about 5000 full time employees in 2007 and has an annual budget of nearly 63 billion dollars and another 97 billion in funding from the ARRA "American Reinvestment and Recovery Act" of 2009. That's 160 billion dollars for the Department of Education, and in 2008 the United States ranked 21st out of 27 industrialized nations for a graduation rate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ARRA, "American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009" 787 billion dollars of stolen tax dollars, was to keep the unemployment rate below 8%. That promise was made by Barak Obama. Today, the government reports an unemployment rate of around 10%, yes 2 full points above the promise. But if that isn't bad enough, the realistic number stands at about 17%, when you include those who have given up looking for work, run out of benefits, are working part time(underemployed), and those that have never looked for work on welfare, homeless etc. Where is Congress? They continue to insist that a 2nd stimulus package is needed, more tax dollars for the needy, from the working. They continue to pump your stolen tax dollars into the unemployment benefits program and all that does is encourage the out of work to stay that way. The unemployed, now, can draw nearly 2 years of benefits, at least they can in Illinois.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, our, America's unfunded Liabilities total about 112 trillion dollars. Unfunded liabilities are entitlements are entitlement programs that have been promised but aren't yet funded. Would you still have a job if you ran a deficit of 112 trillion dollars over what you had money. I would suggest your job would be in jeopardy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why all the afore mentioned failures? Again, when we go for a job interview, our past is researched, when we apply for a Concealed Carry permit, our past is scrutinized, If I, as a Commercial Vehicle Driver, apply for a Hazardous Materials endorsement to be added to my license, I am fingerprinted and a background check is performed by the FBI. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congress has applied for the job of reforming Health Care in the United States, I have given you here, a brief summary of a minuscule number of the many failures of our United States Government. This summary doesn't even touch on absenteeism, pay, attitude, budget overruns etc.. Are you really considering hiring this bunch of incompetent miscreants to overhaul and administer your health care in America? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-2014277096866686247?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/2014277096866686247/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=2014277096866686247&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/2014277096866686247'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/2014277096866686247'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2010/01/health-care-judge-them-by-their-works.html' title='Health Care?

He promptly, okay, not so promptly, but he appointed a new General to head up the operations there. HE asked General McChrystal to assess the operations and come up with a strategy to win that war. General McChrystal, true to his nature, done just as was asked of him and came up with a strategy to win and get out. President Obama though, seems to want to second Guess the General that he entrusted with the assignment. He thinks he is smarter about war than a man who has studied war strategy all his life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most any police officer or military strategist you hear will always tell you that swift and overwhelming force is what it takes to gain control of most any situation. Just watch around our own country and see how the police forces and first responder garner control over a crowd. Swift and overwhelming force. That type of action shows resolve. It shows you mean business and aren't going to back down but are going to take control. I think this, what this president is doing, the delay of action, the rumored slow steady deployment of 35000 or so troops, the indecisiveness of his actions are treasonous, murderous, and dangerous. I also believe it is demeaning to the troops, I think it is or will cause moral to sink. I mean, why fight if you know the heart and soul of your Commander in Chief isn't one with the mission and with those you are putting in harms way to carry out the mission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am of the opinion that if you hire someone to do a job, you generally have trust in the ability of the person you hire. I am also of the very strong opinion that if you are going to fight a war, give the men that are doing the fighting everything they need to win, And let them go to work...killing the bad guys.&lt;br /&gt;All the above being true, why in the world would you take 90+ days to make a decision based on intelligence that tells you troops are and will die if not acted upon quickly? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One reason is because this President is obviously an appeaser. Another, and more likely reason, might be because he hates the troops and for what they stand. He also wants out of Afghanistan. He wants to fulfill his promise to his leftist base. I think he is killing the troops on purpose. I think he is allowing them to be killed so that America will grow more and more weary of the war and just demand we remove our young men and women...at all costs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the President might just as well pick up a gun and start shooting the troops himself. I believe he is that culpable. The problem with that though, is that his hatred towards the military would be far too obvious. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This man is Dangerous for America. Bowing to foreign leaders, cowtowing to the U.N.. Treating terrorists as common criminals rather than terrorists. Jumping to conclusions when it is time to spend trillions of dollars to usurp our liberties but not when it comes time for swift and absolute justice against a known enemy combatant. Jumping to conclusions when it comes time to condemn a police officer for doing his or her job but not to condemn a terrorist to the same resolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Murderer, troop killer, treasonous, I think so. We shall see tomorrow night, what the resolve of this president is on this war. We shall see how determined he might be to win. We shall see if he is resolute in his promise to win in Afghanistan. What we shall not see are the faces and names of the  Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailors who have died since august 30 when McChrystal submitted his report.

States all the time require people to have driver’s licenses. I think that this is a bit of a spurious argument that’s being made by some folks.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, for those of you that don't know, a "spurious argument" is an argument that isn't valid but made to sound valid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact of the matter is that you don't have to have a driver's license if you choose not to drive, nor do you have to have auto insurance to own or drive a car. The last I knew, participation in the use of Medicare or Medicare is also not required. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most states, and all the states in which I have lived, have a provision for self insurance of an automobile. In other words, if you can show means of financial responsibility, you can escrow a given amount of cash and use that as your automotive liability coverage. I have no idea what he is talking about when he says the states mandate everyone have a driver's license. Driving is a privilege. If you want to drive on public highways and roads, the state mandates the conditions that make that legal. However, if you care not to drive, then you are never forced or mandated by anyone, to get a driver's license just to be a citizen of that state. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By forcing or mandating that everyone buy health insurance, they are putting conditions on life and or citizenship. Well, unless you are here illegally or if you've been  held down by "the man" and can't afford it then the Government will provide your insurance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think Warner's arguments are most certainly "spurious" in nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;MARK MY WORDS...&lt;/span&gt;I will absolutely NOT go onto the government dole. I will not buy any kind of "mandated" insurance. I currently have insurance, for which I work my a#@ off to pay.

Below is the culmination of that conversation. This video was put together, in amazing fashion by the curator of&lt;a href="http://www.annieoakley.org/"&gt; annieoakley.org&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://conservabid.com/"&gt;conservabid.com&lt;/a&gt;. Please do all you can to show your support for her and all or her endeavors. Not only is she a talented video producer, she is a gifted writer as well. Karen also writes over at &lt;a href="http://www.thepalination.com/"&gt;ThePalinNation.com&lt;/a&gt;. I would just ask that you watch this video and consider the amazing work, the talent, and the hours involved in it's creation. This is truly a highly talented, blessed young lady. Thanks again Karen and thanks to LaDonna Curzon at Sarah Palin Radio for speaking with Art and Tina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="400" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_djZ7MWB7ms&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;hd=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_djZ7MWB7ms&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks again Karen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-6901231155499473165?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/6901231155499473165/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=6901231155499473165&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/6901231155499473165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/6901231155499473165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/11/sarah-palin-radio-talks-with-912-truck.html' title='Sarah Palin Radio Talks With the 912 Truck Owners'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-6195109521211746194</id><published>2009-11-10T14:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-10T14:20:44.634-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='President'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='support'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='birthday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Country'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Freedom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='marines'/><title type='text'>Happy Birthday Marines!!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MARINES, ALL PAST AND PRESENT.

We mustn't rush to a conclusion while Russia is invading one of our closest allies, who is Georgia, but we must vote immediately on a 787 billion dollar stimulus plan or the world will come crashing down around our heads. I realize that "O" wasn't our President when Russia invaded Georgia, but he did make a "don't rush to judgment" statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had to act immediately, even so urgently as to stop campaigning and go to Washington to help design, advocate, and vote for the TARP plan, but let's not jump to conclusions when it comes to how to handle the Palestinian/Israel conflicts and while innocent Israelis are being RPG'd at an incredibly rapid pace. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let's not rush to an uneducated decision on sending troops to Afghanistan while our troops are dying but we have to act with record speed when it comes to taking over banks, auto manufacturers, the tobacco industry and reforming our regulatory system on Wall street. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can't rush to judgment when Iran defies every U.N. treaty or resolution that has been passed against them and their nuclear ambitions and while they are sending small arms and bombs into Iraq, again to kill our troops, but we must act NOW on cap and trade, global warming legislation, and the KYOTO Treaty to save the earth and stop global warming, or global climate change, or whatever the flavor of global destruction we have today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And finally, we can't rush to decisions about a Muslim terrorist killing our young men and women, here, at home, on one of OUR military installations, but we must act right now, there is no time to waste, to spend 1.2+ trillion dollars to usurp our liberties and take over the best health care system in the world and place it under the control of the U.S. Government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a thought here. As if you thought I wouldn't have. As long as the government controls health care, they control who gets health care. As long as they control who gets health care, they can see to it that their lazy, fat a%&amp;, non working, blood sucking voting constituents get the necessary care and avoid caring for those who are less friendly to the administration. I mean, we must act now, right now, to make abortion available to hard working, females who can't afford another baby and make just a little too much to qualify for food stamps but let's give food stamps to the ones who won't work and are staying home with their babies, and continue to pop out kids like a healthy rabbit, they'll vote for our reelection. The more of those we can make, the better our chances of staying in office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt my heart hurt last night when the vote was announced on this health care debacle. We went to Washington in September in mass numbers to let them know that we didn't want this, more folks went again last week on Thursday, still more on Saturday, the House chamber was full of onlookers to see how the debate and impending vote on the bill would go, and still, in an incredible show of arrogance, these power drunk, liberty thieves passed the bill. A bill that was unquestionably rejected by 85+% of Americans. A bill that absolutely robs us of many of our freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This bill will impose fines of up to $15000.00 if we don't purchase health care insurance at 2.5% of our income and of the policy structure that the government sees fit. If we don't pay the fine we can be imprisoned for up to five years. Now, our prisons are full and bursting at the seems now with drug dealers, illegal alien murderers, and pedophiles. My guess is that since this is a liberal Democrat administration, we will turn loose the "non violent" illegal alien murderers, the pedophiles, and the drug dealers in lieu of imprisonment of the horribly radical, right winged, non fine paying, health care insurance non-purchasers. I mean, who is going to be more friendly to the administration at election time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe this administration, all it's minions, czars, and sheeple, the speaker of the house and Senate Majority Leader are as much a terrorist to our monetary and financial systems, our political structure, our judicial system and our liberties as Freedom Loving Americans as any bomber, shooter, or air plane hijacker that has ever struck the United States of America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think NOW is the time to hurry. there is absolutely no time to waste. We must stop these America hating, power drunk, liberty stealing thugs now. This is a true emergency. I think we should all look into recalling our elected officials where our state constitutions provide such a device. Where we aren't afforded that opportunity, I think we must find a way to render them ineffective or powerless. I believe we must research all avenues to stop the terror they are imposing on us as Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wake up, Stand up, Rise up, and Speak up. Now is the time to be seen and heard America. Above all pray, while we still are allowed, please pray fervently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-2473630858668107208?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/2473630858668107208/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=2473630858668107208&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/2473630858668107208'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/2473630858668107208'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/11/dont-rush-to-conclusions-but-debate-is.html' title='Don&apos;t Rush to Conclusions But the Debate Is Over and We Must Act Quickly!!!!'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-9204890861710669769</id><published>2009-11-05T13:51:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-08T09:17:36.900-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='salt lake cit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='912 truck'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='eagar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='eagar 4 senate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ut'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='load'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='912 candidates'/><title type='text'>A Day in Salt Lake City, An Hour with a 912 Candidate</title><content type='html'>We, Tina and I were able to make contact with the &lt;a href="http://www.eagarforsenate.com/"&gt;Cherilyn Eagar for Senate &lt;/a&gt;campaign here in Salt Lake City today. David Kyle, &lt;a href="http://www.eagarforsenate.com/"&gt;Ms. Eagar's&lt;/a&gt; campaign manager, was ever so helpful in arranging a time for us to meet with and talk to this &lt;a href="http://912candidates.org/"&gt;912 candidate&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.eagarforsenate.com/"&gt;Ms Eagar&lt;/a&gt; also was more than happy to sign the truck and grant us enough time to video our conversation with her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to wash the truck to make it presentable, so we ran out to the Flying J Travel Plaza and had breakfast and filled the water tank. We went back to our terminal over off Bangerter and 201 and I proceeded to do the quickest 1 person truck wash in the history of truck washes. Now, granted, it wasn't a full on detail type wash but I was able to make it look like Little Sisters in Eloy had done the wash in just over 30 minutes. As long as you didn't look too closely and inspect all the nooks and crannies that truck drivers like to gripe about, it looked pretty darned good, tire dressing and all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After I was done washing the truck, we rushed back to the truck stop, the Flying J, and waited for &lt;a href="http://www.eagarforsenate.com/"&gt;Ms Eagar &lt;/a&gt;and her &lt;a href="http://www.eagarforsenate.com/"&gt;campaign team &lt;/a&gt;to arrive.

I just wonder how in the world he will ever be able to explain away the fact that he endorsed a liberal running as a Republican, who was also back by an Acorn affiliate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have never been a real big fan of Gingrich's, but for him to back a liberal like Scozzafava, just because that is who "the local party leaders" picked, I think is pretty close to being on the fringe of loving the party more than the cause, well, that is unless the cause has become Newt. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also find it amazingly interesting that Newt hasn't been heard from, verbally. Well, I mean that he has had no verbal comment whatsoever about what has transpired in the last few days, since being stabbed in the back. Gingrich endorses Scozzafava, Acorn endorses Scozzafava, Scozzafava couldn't muster the votes, even with those two &lt;em&gt;fantastic&lt;/em&gt; endorsements, so she withdraws from the race and she, yes Scozzafava, endorses the only slightly more liberal Democrat rather than supporting the conservative, &lt;a href="http://www.doughoffmanforcongress.com/"&gt;Doug Hoffman&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newt has since came out for Doug Hoffman, who I think should ask Gingrich to remove or redact his endorsement, and Newt has slammed Scozzafava, as if the original endorsement never even took place. There is no mention on Gingrich's web site that he had first endorsed Scozzafava and then Hoffman, just that &lt;a href="http://newt.org/tabid/193/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/4629/I-Am-Endorsing-Doug-Hoffman.aspx#comments"&gt;he is endorsing Hoffman&lt;/a&gt;. The scathing comments there at that link are pretty telling as to how the people feel about being stabbed in the back by Gingrich. All I can say is look out Mr. Hoffman, my guess is that he will slam you at his earliest convenience, for having not agreed with him, on any given issue, after he endorsed you. No honor among thieves.

I hope he doesn't mind that I call him a friend. He is one of the many amazing Patriots I have met via the internet since our immersion into the world of politics. I have met some amazing people online and hope to , someday, be able to meet them in person. While I can't say they are close personal friends, they are seemingly some of the best internet friends one could ever know. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had no idea that this friend had this kind of a connection to the health care debate. Needless to say, when I seen this I thought it was a powerful testimony for the need for health care reform, but not the Democrat Plan for Health Care Reform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VB7S9ZbH9V8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VB7S9ZbH9V8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks again to Michael and his Mother and their story.

This President hand picked this General to take charge of this mission. I thought, no I had hoped, that this President, if he did nothing else, would fight the "war of necessity", called so by himself, and fight it to win. I, personally, cannot understand, having our young men and women fight and die, to install a government that is "Good Enough", in the words of John &lt;em&gt;turncoat&lt;/em&gt; Kerry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the VETERAN not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the VETERAN not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the VETERAN not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the VETERAN not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the VETERAN not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the VETERAN not the politician, who has given us the right to vote. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the VETERAN who salutes the Flag, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the VETERAN who serves under the Flag, &lt;br /&gt;It's the VETERAN who is buried under the Flag. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr President, either define the mission, give the troops on the ground what they need to accomplish that mission and to kill the enemy or bring our troops home. STOP KILLING OUR TROOPS! That is just exactly what this indecisive, incompetent, irresponsible, President is doing by not giving General McChrystal the troops for which he asked. Call the White House today, at 202-456-1111, and tell this jerk to crap or get off the pot. We are tired of our young men and women dying due to his incompetence or lack of political fortitude.

The other day I was riding along listening to the radio and heard, in a short 10 second sound bit, a &lt;a href="http://www.thesunnews.com/621/story/1129483.html"&gt;story about Louisville Slugger being sued&lt;/a&gt;. The &lt;a href="http://www.thesunnews.com/621/story/1129483.html"&gt;story&lt;/a&gt; caught my ear because I have toured their impressive manufacturing plant in Louisville KY and look forward, someday, to touring their aluminum bat plant in Ontario, CA. All I heard on the radio at that point though, was that the company was being sued in Helena MT. I later looked up the &lt;a href="http://www.thesunnews.com/621/story/1129483.html"&gt;story&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a very brief summary, the suit alleges that the bat manufacturer knew of the inherent problems with the bat causing the ball to come off the bat too fast. WHAT? Isn't a bat made to hit the ball fast and hard? As I read the story, I just couldn't help but see the grieving family, not know what to do, where to turn, and this ambulance chaser coming along and saying something like, you know, they knew that was bound to happen, you should make them pay. Those evil corporations. They have insurance, that what insurance is for, right? It's Big Bat's fault. Now, I don't know if this is how this suit came about, but I have my feelings about attorney's, for my own reasons, and my mind will likely not be swayed from those feelings. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More to the point though, is this. What's next? Do we sue the Field groomer, for having not groomed the field in such a way to cause a draft to slow the ball, sue the umpire for having not stopped the game for faulty or improper equipment, sue the league for having not required a pitching helmet, sue the ball designer for having designed the ball with the stitching in such a way as to cause serious bodily injury or death. What happens the next time a boxer gets his brains scram?bled by a hard punch? Do we sue the glove manufacturer because he made an 8oz glove available rather than a 12oz glove? Do we sue the winning fighter’s trainer because he taught the guy how to swing with a harder upper?cut than the other fighters? What about the manufacturer of a BBQ grill? Do we sue them because they knew we were going to cook greasy food and cause our arteries to clog? Oh here's one, what if someone buys a cup of coffee, spills it on themselves and then sues because the coffee was hot? Oh wait, that already happened, but you get the point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To what have we stooped as a nation when we will sue, and allow suit of, a manufaturer of a product that performs as designed, but causes a freak and unintended accident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This story is truly tragic. I personally can't imagine losing a child. I've don't have any children and some tell me that skews my thought process in these cases. I'm here to tell you that that just isn't true. I care not to elaborate, but suffice to say, loss is something to which I can relate. C’mon people, this has to stop some?where. Grow up, take responsibility for your own actions, and accept the consequences for playing rough or using utinsels that could have unintended consequences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-6745992486302294574?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/6745992486302294574/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=6745992486302294574&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/6745992486302294574'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/6745992486302294574'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/10/baseball-helmets-for-everybody.html' title='Baseball Helmets for Everybody'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-8107677045667150633</id><published>2009-10-15T15:36:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-15T16:07:04.907-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='liberals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='RNC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michael steele'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='villain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='conservatives'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='republican party'/><title type='text'>Republican Party has Identified a Villian for 2010 Elections</title><content type='html'>Did I hear this correctly? Did I hear the news, or what is called the news, say that the RNC had Identified a "Villain" for the 2010 midterm elections? Nancy Pelosi has been tagged as "you're it" by the Republican National Committee and Michael Steele. Michael, wake up pal, we(America) do not want or need a villain, we want and need a hero, someone to look up to not to villainize. We have plenty of villains in D.C., just pick one of any 536 plus all the aids and staff. There is no shortage of people to attack, let's pick someone, just one, on which we can build America and stop trying to destroy people. They are doing a good enough job of destruction themselves... Aren't they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, look, I guess I am going to get myself in trouble here but Michael Steele is an idiot. I would guess that the only reason Michael Steele was picked or "chosen" to head the RNC was so that the Republican Party cool aid drinkers could say that they aren't racists. They can say look, we're not racists, we have a black man leading our party too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael Steele was one of the few black men who was a registered Republican so he can be called a conservative yet liberal enough for the party to accept. If they really wanted a conservative black person to lead the party, why not go after Charles Payne from Fox news or Condolezza Rice? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? Because they are too conservative, that isn't what the party wants. The party wants to move left with the perception of conservatism. You see, they believe if they call themselves conservatives, and attach that to the Republican party, with a black man at the helm, all the cool aid drinkers will follow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess what RNC, it ain't gonna happen. Not this time. We will not be made to believe that liberal lite is better than liberal. If we continue to pick between the lesser of two evils, evil still wins. Not this time. Michael Steele needs to resign and we need to, if we want to save the Republican Party, put a true conservative in charge. Black, red, white, yellow, or purple, I don't care, just a true conservative. That is if the party is to be saved. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I couldn't care less, I am not registered as a Republican so you all do what you want, and I'll do the same. Just please stop calling yourselves conservatives and associating that with Republicans. Most of us "Conservatives" left the "Republicans" long ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-8107677045667150633?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/8107677045667150633/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=8107677045667150633&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/8107677045667150633'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/8107677045667150633'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/10/republican-party-has-identified-villian.html' title='Republican Party has Identified a Villian for 2010 Elections'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-1586919377481941054</id><published>2009-10-15T14:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-15T15:33:29.624-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NFL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jackson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sharpton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rush Limbaugh'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='consortium'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Franchise'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reverend'/><title type='text'>Limbaugh "Rammed" out of Consortium</title><content type='html'>After a group of investors came to Rush Limbaugh and asked him to participate on the purchase of the loss besieged, St. Louis Rams, football franchise, the same group asked him to resign from the consortium and when he refused, he was fired. Amid a firestorm of hate filled, racist accusations of racism, the consortium folded like a cheap card table and demanded Rush step back and step down form the group. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us not forget that the consortium was forewarned of the attacks that were to follow and their response was that they were ready for the criticism. Let us not forget that they came to Rush, not the other way around. And, let us not forget that all of the accusations of racism were false and inflammatory, produced mostly by racists, themselves. The only remark that could be produced by the race baitors was that Donovan McNabb was only a great quarterback because the press wanted a black man to succeed. Kind of like our President...but I digress. The fact of the matter is, that I had said the same thing only a few weeks before Limbaugh verbalized the same thought, on national television. Really, about that, I see nothing racist. Inflamatory? Controversial? Maybe. Definately not racist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh, mostly because I haven't found him on XM yet, but I like the guy. I think he says what he means, and believes everything he says. I know that he is a great football fan, and fan of the amazing athletes that make the game great. I am also not a Rams fan. So I really have no dog in this fight except to say that I am tired of the politically charged, race baiting, comments from the left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My gripe here, is not really that they forced Rush out, but that if the tables were turned and Jackson or Sharpton were to join a group ti purchase the same franchise, that they would be ushered in like a prom queen or like the first, incompetent, black, American President. Not to mention, if there were any descent, from anyone, in or out of the NFL arena, those dissenters would be the racists, not Sharpton or Jackson. These two, so called reverends, have done more to divide America and made more racist remarks than David Duke, but then again, they're black, they can't be racists.

This is 4 years, and a full administration, after the original hurricane Katrina devastated the flood stricken area. I suppose it isn't a bad idea for "O" top visit the area, make sure repairs and reconstruction are going as planned, but why only after 4 years, 9 months into his presidential rein, and never during his time as a caring, powerful Senator or Acorn attorney or even community organizer. Makes you say hmmm, doesn't it? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and then it is off to San Francisco, CA to a DNC fundraiser, on your taxpayer dime. While folks in this country are hungry, homeless, jobless and mad as hell about this out of control government forcing health care reform, auto, bank, and financial institution bailouts,and a non-stimulating stimulus package down our collective throats, this administration is still campaign mode. Wait there's more, we have soldiers in Afghanistan dying because this indecisive, imbecilic, boob running off to the SFO Bay area to do some more campaigning for future elections, both his and his congressional cronies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if that isn't enough, now "O" is pushing for a 13 billion dollar infusion to Social Security for payments to recipients of the entitlement slavery inducing, monthly payment, to make up for them not receiving a cost of living increase for the year. What the hell is that? Of course there is no cost of living increase, their cost of living has gone down. Inflation, which is what the cost of living increase is based upon, is negative. Why the hell would you get a cost of living increase when your cost of living has decreased? I submit, to purchase your vote. This way, "O" can say, well, you didn't have a raise coming but we helped you, we cared enough to recognize your hardships to give you a second $250.00 payment in the second half of my administration. We done that to help. We done that to show our concern.I say, my a%# you did. You did that to purchase, to have something to hold over their heads for their next vote in 2010 so that you can try to keep your majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please call your Reps and Senators. Please tell them not to pass another money infusion of any kind to anyone or any special interest group. This government is all about buying votes and or paying for votes already delivered. Let your reps know that a vote for another 13 billion dollars to seniors will be another nail in their political coffins. Let them know that if your mother, dad, grandparents or whomever needs another $250.00 to make it through the year that you will be the one to give it to them, just like God, and our founders wanted. &lt;strong&gt;WAKE UP, STAND UP, RISE UP, AND SPEAK UP AMERICA.

It is called "Barstool Economics" and goes like this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barstool Economics&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.&lt;br /&gt;The fifth would pay $1.&lt;br /&gt;The sixth would pay $3.&lt;br /&gt;The seventh would pay $7.&lt;br /&gt;The eighth would pay $12.&lt;br /&gt;The ninth would pay $18.&lt;br /&gt;The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, that's what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve.&lt;br /&gt;"Since you are all such good customers", he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20". Drinks for the ten now cost just $80. &lt;br /&gt;The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his "fair share?"&lt;br /&gt;They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so:&lt;br /&gt;The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).&lt;br /&gt;The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).&lt;br /&gt;The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).&lt;br /&gt;The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).&lt;br /&gt;The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).&lt;br /&gt;The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.&lt;br /&gt;"I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, "but he got $10!"&lt;br /&gt;"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!"&lt;br /&gt;"That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!"&lt;br /&gt;"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"&lt;br /&gt;The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.&lt;br /&gt;The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important.

Get Some Guts</title><content type='html'>You know, I ride along here, in our truck, while listening to what is misnamed as news and wonder why no-one will stand up and speak out. I mean, money is nice, power can cause great drunkenness, having your name on buildings, streets, colleges, parks, bridges, airports, etc., all that, I'm sure, can be very mesmerizing, but isn't your integrity, your honor, your country and countrymen worth something? Personally, I think it is worth more than all the other, of course I've had none of the other so I can't say one way or another, but I know what I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am just wondering when someone in D.C. will grow a pair, get some guts and stand up on national television, every time they get the opportunity and tell the folks across America how unconstitutional this health care bill, among other things,really is. (I know I just ended a sentence in a preposition, and to my mother, I apologize, sometimes it seems a must, but I digress...). Back to the point here, Who is the federal government, who works for us, the citizens of the United States of America, to tell us that they are &lt;strong&gt;mandating health insurance for all&lt;/strong&gt;? And who the hell do they think they are to tell us we won't be forced to give up the insurance we have? They work for us and they need to know that. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but maybe one, just one, derelict in Washington will stumble upon this and realize that they are selling their souls for 1 quick drink. Hell, I'd bet that WE THE PEOPLE would buy you drinks for the rest of your life if you'd just grow a pair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, I think Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins are the worst representatives in the Senate. These two are the most liberal of the republican party and should not be financed by any conservative or any RNC funds for their re-election bids. I obviously have no say in what the RNC does with their money, since I don't give to parties, but rather to individual candidates, but these to are the reason for that particular choice in my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone please wake up. Use all the money you have stolen, over time and during your rein as Senator or House Rep, buy a bunch of radio, television and newspaper space and billboard space and tell the folks in America how you have awakened and that the crap Congress is doing is totally unconstitutional and even treasonous to the United States of America. My guess is that it will come back to you 10 fold and you will definitely be a better person, if not a more monetarily wealthy person for your truthfulness. Oh it will probably cost you a lot of clout in congress, maybe even your seat, but you will have "WE THE PEOPLE" behind you. Don't believe me? Look at Joe Wilson. Of course Joe got in trouble for what he done and appears to have his tail between his legs in retreat now. &lt;strong&gt;STAND UP!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing, we hope that you can find it in your budget to help with a small purchase or a donation in support of our mission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cafepress.com/912truck"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SpaspwQCn4I/AAAAAAAAAGk/7mAZR9JxgEw/s1600-h/912+truck++t-shirt.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 180px; height: 180px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SpaspwQCn4I/AAAAAAAAAGk/7mAZR9JxgEw/s200/912+truck++t-shirt.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374673038640062338" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We have launched into a couple of apparel stores so that everyone can show their support of the 912 Truck.

Lynn, a manager for a local delivery company, showed a grand Love of Country, and true concern for the direction this administration has taken this Country. Lynn signed our truck, pics to be posted at the &lt;a href="http://www.912truck.blogspot.com"&gt;912 Truck blog site&lt;/a&gt; when &lt;em&gt;our computer&lt;/em&gt; is returned to operating condition and I can return this one to it's rightful owner. I appreciate the use but this thing is a true "piece". Anyway, Lynn was kind enough to forward a story to me and I thought I'd post it here. It follows...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dinner with Obama, a Parable ......&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once upon a time, I was invited to the White House for a private dinner with the President. &lt;br /&gt;I am a respected businessman, with a factory that produces memory chips for computers and portable electronics. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was some talk that my industry was being scrutinized by the administration, &lt;br /&gt;but I paid it no mind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I live in a free country. There's nothing &lt;br /&gt;that the government can do to me if I've broken no laws. &lt;br /&gt;My wealth was earned honestly, and an invitation to dinner with an American President is an honor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I checked my coat, was greeted by the Chief of Staff, &lt;br /&gt;and joined the President in a yellow dining room. &lt;br /&gt;We sat across from each other at a table draped in white linen. &lt;br /&gt;The Great Seal was embossed on the China. Uniformed staff served our dinner. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The meal was served, and I was startled when my waiter suddenly reached out, &lt;br /&gt;plucked a dinner roll off my plate, and began nibbling it as he walked back to the kitchen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sorry about that," said the President. "Andrew is very hungry." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I don't appreciate..." I began, but as I looked into the calm brown eyes across from me, &lt;br /&gt;I felt immediately guilty and petty. It was just a dinner roll. &lt;br /&gt;"Of course," I concluded, and reached for my glass. &lt;br /&gt;Before I could, however, another waiter reached forward, took the glass away and swallowed the wine in a single gulp. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And his brother Eric is very thirsty." said the President I didn't say anything. &lt;br /&gt;The President is testing my compassion, I thought. I will play along. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't want to seem unkind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My plate was whisked away before I had tasted a bite. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Eric's children are also quite hungry." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a lurch, I crashed to the floor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My chair had been pulled out from under me. I stood, brushing myself off angrily, &lt;br /&gt;and watched as it was carried from the room. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And their grandmother can't stand for long." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I excused myself, smiling outwardly, but inside feeling like a fool. &lt;br /&gt;Obviously I had been invited to the White House to be sport for some game. &lt;br /&gt;I reached for my coat, to find that it had been taken. &lt;br /&gt;I turned back to t he President. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their grandfather doesn't like the cold." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to shout- that was my coat! &lt;br /&gt;But again, I looked at the placid smiling face of my host and decided I was being a poor sport. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spread my hands helplessly and chuckled. &lt;br /&gt;Then I felt my hip pocket and realized my wallet was gone. &lt;br /&gt;I excused myself and walked to a phone on an elegant side table. &lt;br /&gt;I learned shortly that my credit cards had been maxed out, my bank accounts emptied, &lt;br /&gt;my retirement and equity portfolios had vanished, and my wife had been thrown out of our home. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently, the waiters and their families were moving in. &lt;br /&gt;The President hadn't moved or spoken as I learned all this, &lt;br /&gt;but finally I lowered the phone into its cradle and turned to face him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Andrew's whole family has made bad financial decisions. &lt;br /&gt;They haven't planned for retirement, and they need a house.. T &lt;br /&gt;hey recently defaulted on a sub-prime mortgage. &lt;br /&gt;I told them they could have your home. They need it more than you do." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My hands were shaking. I felt faint. I stumbled back to the table and knelt on the floor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The President cheerfully cut his meat, ate his steak and drank his wine.. &lt;br /&gt;"By the way," He added, "I have just signed an Executive Order nationalizing your factories. &lt;br /&gt;I'm firing you as head of your business. I'll be operating the firm now for the benefit of all mankind. &lt;br /&gt;There's a whole bunch of Erics and Andrews out there and they can't come to you for jobs groveling like beggars." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked up. &lt;br /&gt;The President dropped his spoon into the empty dish which had been his Creme Brulee. &lt;br /&gt;He drained the last drops of his wine. &lt;br /&gt;As the table was cleared, he lit a cigarette and leaned back in his chair. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He stared at me. I clung to the edge of the table as if were a ledge and I were a man hanging over an abyss. &lt;br /&gt;I thought of the years behind me, of the life I had lived. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The life I had earned with a lifetime of work, risk and struggle. Why was I punished? &lt;br /&gt;How had I allowed it to be taken? &lt;br /&gt;What game had I just played ... and lost? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What had I done wrong? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if answering the unspoken thought, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the President suddenly cocked his head, locked his empty eyes to mine, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and bared a million beautiful white teeth, chuckling wryly as he folded his hands. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You are a total idiot," he said. "You should have stopped me at the dinner roll..." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lynn Boissoneault&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Makes you wonder what kind of dinner was served to the Auto Companies, the Insurance Companies, the Drug Companies, the Banks, the Financial Institutions, etc., etc., and who, on the staff may be hungry this time. I also, wonder in a suspicious kind of way, who really got the beer, served at the "beer summit", a few months ago. There &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; an awful lot of "thirsty, homeless, drunks in D.C.. I mean...I'm just sayin'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-8562085063993204967?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/8562085063993204967/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=8562085063993204967&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/8562085063993204967'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/8562085063993204967'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/10/beware-of-dinner-with-obamaa-parable.html' title='Beware of Dinner With Obama...A Parable'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-7871358371034492322</id><published>2009-09-30T15:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-30T17:06:37.991-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='southern illinoisan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='letter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='brush'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='editor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ron doerge'/><title type='text'>A Painting with a Broad Brush</title><content type='html'>We have a lot of things that we do for entertainment when on vacation, one of which visit family and friends in other parts of the country. While I don't make it a habit to watch a lot of news during that time, I do pick up a newspaper form time to time in whatever part of the country we might be visiting. During our visit in Illinois last week, I happened to see a "Voice of the Reader" article from a regional newspaper called "&lt;a href="http://thesouthern.com/"&gt;The Southern Illinoisan&lt;/a&gt;" also known online as &lt;a href="http://thesouthern.com/"&gt;The Southern.com&lt;/a&gt;. The article went like this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Choose to act in love&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;To the Editor&lt;br /&gt;     On Sept. 12, we witnessed the largest gathering if immoral people to ever set foot on our National Mall. This was a gathering of those in our country who lie, deceive and slander their fellow citizens, but worst of all, slander the President of our country. They are fundamental hate mongers who act without any conscience or any sense of responsible behavior. everyone present at the National Mall incident, if they passed away the next day, would have awakened to an eternity to be spent in Hell.&lt;br /&gt;     Lying, deceiving and slandering are not the characteristics of the children of God but those of the children of Satan. These are the "forces if darkness" that we are warned about in the Word. These people have a long track record of these immoral activities and the Word is very clear that "He who continues to sin is not a Child of God." If they are not the children of God, they automatically become children of Satan. Each one of us is, by choice, either a child of God or a child of Satan. These people on the Mall, by their immoral behavior, have decided they will follow the Evil One.&lt;br /&gt;     Those at home who support these activities have identified themselves as being children of Satan without knowing it.  God commands that "we are to have no fellowship with the forces of darkness." When we join the "forces of darkness," we automatically forfeit or hopes of salvation for the Word says "Without holiness no one will see the Lord."&lt;br /&gt;     Liars are on the list of those in the Word who will never see Heaven. It is evident that those on the Mall do not believe the Word or they would exhibit love rather than hate that so dominates their behavior.&lt;br /&gt;                                                                   &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt; Ron Doerge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                                    Christians for Justice&lt;br /&gt;                                                                    Marion&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I have read a lot of material on the 9/12 D.C. event, but this has got to be the most insidious, hate filled, misguided, reality lacking bit of rhetoric I have ever read. Talk about being judgmental! And of everyone who was there OR sat at home and supports the activities and the meaning of the event.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SsPyH_Tdw6I/AAAAAAAAAIM/f4JCtkV-83U/s1600-h/auntie+5+resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SsPyH_Tdw6I/AAAAAAAAAIM/f4JCtkV-83U/s200/auntie+5+resize.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387415798331327394" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spent three days in D.C.. I was there on the 11th, 12th and 13th. I never saw any hatred, any lies, or any deceit on any sign, or come from anyone's mouth. While there were some signs that may have been deemed distasteful, none, and I mean none, that I saw, were actually hateful. There were no arrests, fights, disruptions, drunkenness, no great amounts of trash left behind, no property damage etc., etc.. My point here, I suppose, is that I would just like the writer of the above quoted letter to the editor to point out the lies, hate and deceit. That though, will never happen, once again the messenger and not the message has been and will always be attacked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I post here, along with the above letter to the editor, the name and address of the writer's company.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Ron Doerge&lt;br /&gt;                  Christians For Justice&lt;br /&gt;           12327 Bahama Dr&lt;br /&gt;                  Marion, IL  62959-8679&lt;br /&gt;                  Phone:  (618) 964-1024&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, following is the address to direct letters to the editor of The Southern Illinoisan. Send letters to: &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Voice of the Reader, The southern Illinoisan, P.O. Box 2108, Carbondale, IL 62902 &lt;/span&gt;or E-mail letters to: &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;letters@thesouthern.com&lt;/span&gt; or to &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Gary Metro&lt;/span&gt; at: &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;gary.metro@thesouthern.com&lt;/span&gt; or call &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Gary&lt;/span&gt; at &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;618-351-5033&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please feel free to write Mr. Doerge or Gary Metro and let them know how you feel about the judgmental nature of this letter to the editor. Incidentally, in the instructions for letters to the editor, The Southern Illinoisan states that " Letters that are libelous or attack individuals or entities personally are not published"... Really? Let me read that letter again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I vow, as long as I have a voice, I will not be shouted down, shut down, talked down, spoken over, or spoken at. I vow I will always speak my mind and I will not let thee folks who spew the sewage, like posted in the letter to the editor above, speak without fear of challenge. I will always challenge them on the merits of their verbiage and not the salvation of their souls. I only wish they would see fit to do the same for those of us who know what we believe and do our very best to live it on a daily basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-7871358371034492322?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/7871358371034492322/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=7871358371034492322&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/7871358371034492322'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/7871358371034492322'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/09/painting-with-broad-brush.html' title='A Painting with a Broad Brush'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SsPyH_Tdw6I/AAAAAAAAAIM/f4JCtkV-83U/s72-c/auntie+5+resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-9213810832043314613</id><published>2009-09-18T09:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-14T10:37:01.837-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='you tube'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='slavery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rise'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wake'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stand'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='8 republicans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='film'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='media'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='administration'/><title type='text'>More Hyprocricy</title><content type='html'>The hypocrisies within this administration are never ending. All we have to do is use their own words to justify nearly everything that they have railed against about the last administration. Just look at the following statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a paper, written by newly confirmed &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Regulatory Czar&lt;/span&gt; Cass Sunstein, while at Yale Law School in 2006 Sunstein says Executive power of Presidential beliefs and of those who surround the President should interpret meaning of Federal Law rather than courts. In his own words...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"There is no reason to believe that in the face of statutory ambiguity, the meaning of federal law should be settled by the inclinations and predispositions of federal judges. The outcome should instead depend on the commitments and beliefs of the President and those who operate under him," argued Sunstein.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, let's see, what if the last administrations justification for their policies and procedures had been the same. The President decides the meaning of Federal Laws. Well, would water boarding of terrorists be legal? Would Eric Holder &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt; be allowed to investigate "harsh interrogation techniques" by the CIA? Would the ACLU not have been allowed to sue over NSA wire tapping? Would any of the sealed documents concerning the Iraq war ever have been ordered opened? What about the pictures of detainee &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;so called&lt;/span&gt; abuse? Would they ever have been forced to be released? Where would the secrecy stop? what could be possible if the President or his thug like Czars were able to interpret Federal law? Scary, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My guess is that if this was allowed, there would be no dissent, or ridicule of the administration at all. I'd bet that that would be deemed "Hate Speech", and by the way, nearly is already, since if we disagree we are racists. There would be no right to privacy as that would be precluded by the need for search and seizure to assure safety of the public and or the administration. Right to bear arms? I don't think so, these right winged nut jobs might just want to take over the government and cause anarchy throughout the country, killing and maiming all women and children along the way. Just look at the way they acted in 1978. Killing mayors and gays and the like, oh wait, those were Democrats/communists, so that would be okay, I guess. On and on and on it goes with no limit on justification for seizure of control of our entire life and way thereof. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This President, and many who surround him, are power drunk. I know this sounds nutty, but I believe they want to take control of every bit of our freedom. I have heard the statement that "without government, there can be no true freedom" I disagree, I think without the "PROPER' government there can be no true freedom. In or founding days, our Founding Fathers had it right. Government, by the people, for the people. They believed that the protection of our God given rights, our inalienable rights, those rights granted by God, the Father, was the essential job and the only job of the Federal Government. The balance of governmental duties were left to the individual states and the people thereof. I must agree. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have moved from a Republic to a Democracy, on our way to an Oligarchy(Which, I think is very, very close, by the way.). The ones in control will be the ones in support of the administration in power at the time of the eventual burning of our Constitution. I don't think any of the real power players even care who that is, because they believe that no matter what, they have enough power, money, and influence over all the power players that they will be okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judge Napolitano, from Fox News done an interview the other day with a Congressman and the Congressman was asked, "Is regulation of the health care system by the Federal Government even Constitutional?" the Congressman's answer was appalling. He said, "most of what we do down here isn't Constitutional, we write the laws that we believe the people want and then just let the courts sort it out." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My contention is this...I think that they write the laws, not that they think the &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;people&lt;/span&gt; want, but those that they think will grab just a little more of &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;our&lt;/span&gt; Constitutional rights or power and hand it to the Federal Government, for the eventual burning of our Constitution in ceremonious style under the guise of "Social Justice".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wake Up, Stand Up Rise Up,  and Speak Up America, Now is the time to be seen and heard. If you continue to sleep, if you continue to wallow in your troubles, to quench your hunger for acceptance by slipping deeper into debt, and chase fame and fortune through you tube films, your freedoms will continue to be usurped and your eventual slavery will creep up on you like the return of Christ. The outcome of both, appears in my eyes, about the same if you continue to focus on &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;. My prayer is that we &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt; wake up, and be sure to let the complicit media and, those power drunk politicians who have taken charge of our Government, know that we are awake and aroused for the defense of our Great Republic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One last thing, please learn the difference between a Republic and a Democracy, and every time you hear someone refer to "our democracy", correct them in a non demeaning teaching manner. We must change the language to change the argument. Below is a 2 part video to help you help others understand the meaningful difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qhNobpG_4fQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qhNobpG_4fQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/htTnD_Zl0bs&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/htTnD_Zl0bs&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-9213810832043314613?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/9213810832043314613/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=9213810832043314613&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/9213810832043314613'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/9213810832043314613'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/09/more-hyprocracy.html' title='More Hyprocricy'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-3570444921897751719</id><published>2009-09-17T05:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-17T06:31:58.014-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='apology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='slavery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sunstein'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rangel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pelosi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='geithner'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='13th ammendment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jones'/><title type='text'>Why am I not Pardoned for my Ancestor's Sins?</title><content type='html'>Assuming the average generation lasts about 21-25 years, No-one in America, has owned a slave, in the true sense of the word, for about 6 generations. 144 years ago, slavery, as defined in the constitution, was abolished by the 13th amendment to the Constitution of the United States. In 1865 that amendment was added to the document held sacred to Americans. The document that has defined us, as a nation, for over 220 years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My question is this then. Why, no, why the hell are we, as Anglo Americans, still accepting responsibility for our ancestor's transgression against Black Americans from over 144 years ago. Well, guess what, I wasn't alive, my mother or dad, or mother's mother or dad, or their mothers or dads weren't alive during the times of slavery, and I am done taking the blame for such evil behavior. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The current administration has appointed tax cheats(Timother Geithner) to run the I.R.S., self avowed communists(Van Jones) to create "green jobs" whatever those might be, crazy animal rights activists(Cass R. Sunstein) as regulatory Czar, We have a tax cheat(Charles Bernard Rangel) writing the I.R.S. code, Speaker of the House(Nancy Pelosi) calling the C.I.A. liars, South Carolina Governer(Mark Sanford) a cheating husband, Bill Clinton, a cheating President, and the list continues but you see the point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why did I name all these folks? Well, they have all committed crimes or misdeeds of some kind. They promptly apologized, and expected immediate forgiveness. What's more, in most cases, they have received that forgiveness in the form of re-election, or our American, "&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;forgive and forget&lt;/span&gt;" attitudes. So &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;WHY THE HELL&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, after 144 years of apologies, legislation, affirmative action, and just plain old basic acceptance of the black Americans, am I still not forgiven for what my ancestors done over 6 generation ago?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, guess what, I'm not guilty of slave ownership, or even condoning such abhorrent behavior, and I refuse to be taxed, financially or mentally on those actions for which I had no control. I will not be held accountable for the actions of my ancestors when the current administration, the current House Reps, Senators, Governors, CEO's, Hollywood movie stars, music artists, athletes, etc., aren't, nor will they be, held responsible for what they say or do...&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;TODAY!!!&lt;/span&gt; Enough is Enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not a racist, most American's aren't racist, and I am done feeling guilty for the racism that was experienced by the black ancestry of America perpetrated by my white ancestors. GET OVER IT, and stop using it for an excuse to take what you want from me, rather than working for what you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more little bit of advise to this administration and it's minions. Stop using or playing the "Race Card". Every time I am called, or someone is called racists, it drives a wedge. We have worked, and worked hard, for years to remove the wedge, to stop racism, and it seems to most of us, who care enough to notice, that many in the media, or those of any stature, want to drive a wedge back into America. I contend that their belief is "divide and conquer". STOP!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, I am in the process, the long, dreary, painstaking process, of putting together a new and improved website. As most of you know, I have this site and the Stop The Destruction Of America site. I will, hopefully, be combining the two sites and adding content pertinent to both the transportation industry and to current events involving the destruction and the eventual rebuilding of America. I pray that you will all bear with me as I undertake this endeavor. I have never built a website before and these "blogsites" were my very first attempt at the use of any web based applications. Stay tunes for what I hope is a grand transformation an culmination of my exhausting toils. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing, we hope that you can find it in your budget to help with a small purchase or a donation in support of our mission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cafepress.com/912truck"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SpaspwQCn4I/AAAAAAAAAGk/7mAZR9JxgEw/s1600-h/912+truck++t-shirt.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 180px; height: 180px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SpaspwQCn4I/AAAAAAAAAGk/7mAZR9JxgEw/s200/912+truck++t-shirt.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374673038640062338" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We have launched into a couple of apparel stores so that everyone can show their support of the 912 Truck.

"O" says so!</title><content type='html'>Obama has, with the stroke of a pen, made Sept 11 a day of service...with the signing of the "Edward M. Kennedy, Serve America Act". Let's let this lying, liberal lowlife know that as Patriotic Americans, we will ALWAYS remember this as a day of mourning and a day of remembrance for those who died that horrific day. Let this liar know that he can't rewrite history, We The People just will not allow that to happen. Please help in this way...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;September 11th, 2009 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have a less than two weeks  and counting to get the word out all across this great land and into every community in the United States of America.&lt;br /&gt;THE PROGRAM:&lt;br /&gt;On Friday, September 11th, 2009, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States. Every individual should make it&lt;br /&gt;their duty to display an American flag on this eighth anniversary of one of our country's worst tragedies. We do this to honor  those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through&lt;br /&gt;some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in&lt;br /&gt;solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can&lt;br /&gt;prevail over terrorism of all kinds&lt;br /&gt; Action Plan:&lt;br /&gt;So, here's what we need you to do .&lt;br /&gt;(1) Forward this email to everyone you know (at least 11 people).  Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11 and let those&lt;br /&gt;sentiments guide you.&lt;br /&gt; (2) Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Honestly, Americans should fly the flag year-round,&lt;br /&gt;but if you don't, then at least make it a priority on this day.&lt;br /&gt;If you forward this email to least 11 people and each of those people do the same ... you get the&lt;br /&gt;idea.&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for your participation. God Bless You and God Bless America!&lt;br /&gt;This is from your friendly 912 truck driver or the America's Alarm Clock. Please help if you can. If you can't, please spend that day in prayer for those who died that horrible day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Art Wayland&lt;br /&gt;912truck.blogspot.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In GOD I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-7597913966505417294?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/7597913966505417294/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=7597913966505417294&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/7597913966505417294'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/7597913966505417294'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/08/911-day-of-service-o-says-soby.html' title='9/11, a day of Service? &quot;O&quot; says so!'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-3190380453145236367</id><published>2009-08-31T11:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-31T14:08:43.568-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='912 truck'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='militar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='912dc.org'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Common Sense'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vinyl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='commander coins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='912 project'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rjharris'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='custom semi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='custom truck'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tradition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wrap'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='candidate'/><title type='text'>America is Coming to Life</title><content type='html'>I had planned to take this opportunity to blast Ted Kennedy for all that he had done to destroy America but my parents told me not to talk bad about the deceased. If you can't say anything nice to say anything at all concerning them. Well, guess what, I just can't think of anything He done to promote the American way of life and/or the American form of Government the way our founders meant for us all, so suffice to say, I think he was probably a good father and grandfather to his offspring. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said, Saturday was truly a great day for Tina and I. As you know, if you follow my other blog at &lt;a href="http://912truck.blogspot.com"&gt;912 Truck&lt;/a&gt;, we travel the United States in an 18 wheeler, wrapped in a &lt;a href="http://www.todaysgraphicsinc.com/"&gt;vinyl wrap&lt;/a&gt; and designed to promote the &lt;a href="http://www.the912project.com//"&gt;9-12 project&lt;/a&gt;. We meet and speak with a lot of people across this great nation. Our goal, when we decorated our truck this way, was to promote and raise awareness to the idea that we are not alone, we are one as long as we are united and to bring us back to the feeling we all had on 9-12. That feeling of unity, that feeling of...&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;NO-ONE ATTACKS AMERICA &lt;/span&gt;and gets away with such an act of terror. We can fight amongst ourselves but don't you come in from outside the family and attack us this way. I won't go so far as to believe all of America is awake but I will say that She is coming alive. As we travel we pass out pocket constitutions, copies of &lt;a href="http://www.glennbeck.com/"&gt;Glenn Beck's "Common Sense"&lt;/a&gt; and a lot of information, confirmed truths, about our government and what that they are doing to destroy our nation and our Democratic Replublic form of government. We are promoting the&lt;a href="http://912dc.org/"&gt; Taxpayer revolt on DC on September 12, 2009&lt;/a&gt;, by passing out information on that event and the response to that has been amazing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why was Saturday, the 29th, such a great day? We made contact with a fantastic young man, a &lt;a href="http://www.rjharris2010.com/"&gt;candidate&lt;/a&gt; for office in the 4th congressional district, for the United States House of Representatives.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/Spwl0-g0NhI/AAAAAAAAAHE/_3tIYmeFCA8/s1600-h/497rs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/Spwl0-g0NhI/AAAAAAAAAHE/_3tIYmeFCA8/s200/497rs.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376213647237592594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.rjharris2010.com/"&gt;R.J.

He took some time to learn of some of the issues and concerns that we, as drivers have with the industry and our government as a whole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we were preparing to go our separate ways, &lt;a href="http://www.rjharris2010.com/"&gt;Mr. Harris&lt;/a&gt; asked Tina to come and stand next to him. As she stood beside him, &lt;a href="http://www.rjharris2010.com/"&gt;Mr. Harris&lt;/a&gt; pulled a coin from his pocket and began to explain the tradition of militray coins or "Commander Coins" and handed Tina a U.S. Minted Silver American Eagle Coin. This is the story &lt;a href="http://www.rjharris2010.com/"&gt;R.J.&lt;/a&gt; told,as I understand it. If I have obliterated this story please correct me by email and I will make the necessary corrections here. My appologies in advance if I did so.&lt;a href="http://www.rjharris2010.com/"&gt; R.J &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/Spwx8MbubhI/AAAAAAAAAH0/3MpkYYEf-Lc/s1600-h/502rs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 164px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/Spwx8MbubhI/AAAAAAAAAH0/3MpkYYEf-Lc/s200/502rs.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376226965372956178" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The giving of a “recognition coin” is a tradition long ingrained in military heritage. Known as a “commander” or “challenge” coin, the military used the coins to salute outstanding performance and acknowledge meritorious achievements. The recognition by a coin in the military dates back to the Boer War at the turn of the 20th century when deserving officers were decorated through the giving of a new sixpence, delivered with a handshake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The modern-day tradition of the military commander coin began in the Vietnam era. It was during this war that the military began to use specially-minted coins, reflecting specific unit emblems or seals, to promote character and pride amongst the units’ officers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/Spwzcrqu3nI/AAAAAAAAAH8/ASPC7j761Jk/s1600-h/503rs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 152px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/Spwzcrqu3nI/AAAAAAAAAH8/ASPC7j761Jk/s200/503rs.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376228623024840306" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.rjharris2010.com/"&gt;R. J.&lt;/a&gt; continues his explanation of the tradition. In parting, I would just like to thank &lt;a href="http://www.rjharris2010.com/"&gt;R.J.&lt;/a&gt; and his campaign manager, Jonathan, for taking the time to meet with us and learn of some of our concerns and find out more about our mission. Thanks to a couple of Great American Patriots. R.J. Harris is playing a large roll to &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, My guess, is that anything I decide to give Tina from this point forward will be dwarfed in meaning by the meaning that this coin has to her.

Please take a moment and look at the two pictures above. The one on the top is &lt;a href="http://www.lifelock.com/default.aspx?promocode=BXC"&gt;Todd Davis&lt;/a&gt;, from Life Lock, or so he says. The one on the bottom, we all know as Al Bundy. There is no question in my mind about the identity of Mr. Bundy. We grew up faithfully supporting this shoe salesman turned &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;NO MA'AM&lt;/span&gt; founder/activist(&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;National Association of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood&lt;/span&gt;). We know Al Bundy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my amazing discovery. My contention is that &lt;a href="http://www.lifelock.com/default.aspx?promocode=BXC"&gt;Todd Davis, Life Lock Founder&lt;/a&gt;, is actually a re-invented, re-focused, Al Bundy. I believe that while Glenn was doing his research on Life Lock, before he took them on as a sponsor/advertiser on the program, he found that these two men were one in the same and that Al Bundy, AKA &lt;a href="http://www.lifelock.com/default.aspx?promocode=BXC"&gt;Todd Davis&lt;/a&gt; and hereafter referred to as such has kidnapped Glenn to keep him quiet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Glenn's unsettling discovery, he went to Davis with his findings and confronted the chameleon. You see Davis had turned from selling shoes and political activism to "identity hawk". You'll see, as you read on, "identity hawk" is not a good thing with &lt;a href="http://www.lifelock.com/default.aspx?promocode=BXC"&gt;Mr. Davis&lt;/a&gt; at the helm. Davis' true colors follow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lifelock.com/default.aspx?promocode=BXC"&gt;Davis&lt;/a&gt;(Bundy), after the Married with Children cancellation, had to find a source of income. He came up with an amazing plan/skam to rule the earth. He remembered a saying he once heard. "He who controls the money, controls the earth". He found a way to do both. &lt;a href="http://www.lifelock.com/default.aspx?promocode=BXC"&gt;Davis&lt;/a&gt; went on a mission, studying the ins and outs of credit, credit reporting agencies, banks, information technology and identity thieves. he studied for years about how these thieves were caught, where they went wrong, and what he could do to prevent the same finality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After many years of study, Bundy applied for another ss# under the name/identity of &lt;a href="http://www.lifelock.com/default.aspx?promocode=BXC"&gt;Todd Davis&lt;/a&gt;. He proceeded to promote that number as his ss# and started building a company that was to protect identity theft through the installation of credit blocks, etc. in the credit reporting agencies. He has earned a trust, with his clients, unmatched by the competition. Davis has been slow but methodical with his endeavor and eventual take over. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glenn, through his relentless research of his sponsors, found this plot and exposed &lt;a href="http://www.lifelock.com/default.aspx?promocode=BXC"&gt;Davis&lt;/a&gt;, only to Davis, at this point. &lt;a href="http://www.lifelock.com/default.aspx?promocode=BXC"&gt;Davis&lt;/a&gt; had too much time and energy and way too many identities at risk to allow Beck to do a nation wide expose'. Davis kidnapped Beck and has him hidden away in a safe secure location, just like all our identities. After &lt;a href="http://www.lifelock.com/default.aspx?promocode=BXC"&gt;Davis&lt;/a&gt;' takeover, it just won't matter anymore, "He who controls the money, controls the world". &lt;a href="http://www.lifelock.com/default.aspx?promocode=BXC"&gt;Davis&lt;/a&gt; has several million clients, with hundreds of billions of dollars in credit at stake, he can't possibly allow Beck to get in his way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is believed, by this writer, that &lt;a href="http://www.lifelock.com/default.aspx?promocode=BXC"&gt;Davis&lt;/a&gt; allowed Beck to hire, train, and place Pat Gray, a long time, close friend of Beck, so that there would be a smooth transition during Beck's absence. It is understood that Beck will be pronounced to have been placed in the loony bin by this administration and that Gray will continue the show in Beck's absence. Beck will never return, Beck will be exterminated and no-one will know any better. Well, no-one but Davis, and I. You see, even Gray, Stu, Dan, Sarah, all the show personnel, his wife, and children will all believe that the government has Beck in an internment camp being repatriated, in actuality, there is no more Glenn Beck. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ask you to read this tongue in cheek. I needed a break from real stories, from health care burnout, the same old news stories that have dominated the 24 hour news cycle. I am a supporter of and client of &lt;a href="http://www.lifelock.com/default.aspx?promocode=BXC"&gt;Todd Davis' LifeLock Company&lt;/a&gt;. I have been a member for several years and choose to remain so. I hope Mr. Davis and Glenn Beck don't take offense to my using their names and personalities in a tale of imagination. I suppose if they decide they don't like it though, they can sue me. You can't get blood from a turnip. Besides, maybe if they sue me, I can get a bailout from the government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-2004894448600873859?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/2004894448600873859/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=2004894448600873859&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/2004894448600873859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/2004894448600873859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/08/glenns-on-vacationreally.html' title='Glenn&apos;s on Vacation...Really?'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/Soxj3xJzTbI/AAAAAAAAAEs/s5um5f0ZccM/s72-c/Todd+Davis.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-1641345782837052710</id><published>2009-08-14T20:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-14T21:21:52.285-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thugs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='protests'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health care'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acorn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='seiu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='buttons'/><title type='text'>We're in The Corner and They Need to Quit Poking</title><content type='html'>I just don't know why people can't leave well enough alone. Do you remember, growing up, fighting with your brother, you sister or even a friend? You mother or Dad would tell you, yeah, keep it up, it's funny 'till someone gets an eye put out. That's how I feel now. The House Reps., the Senators, and "O" and his goons or thugs, just continue to poke. Poke, poke, poke. Someone needs to tell them, their proverbial eye is on the line here. Their eye being their seat in congress, or their place at the head of the table.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;I'll attempt to answer my own question.&lt;/span&gt; I contend that they are &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;wanting&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;looking&lt;/span&gt; for something bad to come out of the poking and prodding. What I think they want is for some lunatic to go off. Someone to do something really stupid and off the wall. I won't even make suggestions as to what those crazy or stupid things might be but I think you get the picture. I believe they want that so that they can take the control that they have always wanted. Oh, they'll say they don't want to but that they must. It's for the safety of the country, the children, they'll say, it will be the right and patriotic thing. Like the Patriot Act, it was, for everybody's own good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also believe, what they don't understand, is the fact that &lt;a href="http://the912project.com"&gt;we&lt;/a&gt; are smarter than that. We aren't the left wing loons that they are used to having protest. &lt;a href="http://the912project.com"&gt;We &lt;/a&gt;are the level headed folks that will absolutely rat out anybody and everybody that we know who even suggests such an act. I think they are prodding, pushing buttons, poking at folks who understand them, far better than they will ever understand, &lt;a href="http://the912project.com"&gt;We The People&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="445" height="364"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/GYl6KQpHCkc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/GYl6KQpHCkc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been so enthused by the outpouring of participation, loud, noisy, sometimes even rude, participation during this congressional recess. I really wish that the protests would be somewhat more civil while the proponents of health care are speaking, to allow free speach to everyone, but I also know that our passion, our anger, and our emotions, are heartfelt and it is very hard, next to impossible, to withhold that passion. I am also very proud of those that have been confronted by the SEIU goons and ACORN zombies. Most, though not all, have had their say and moved on to greener pasture. I know how hard it is to keep you cool, but all have done a great job so far. As a mater of fact, the only violence I have seen, has been when the SEIU thugs pushed around the guy in St. Louis. What a bunch of low life punks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, My point is this. Back in April, I posted about what was next, would we keep pouring on the heat to these turncoat politicians after the April 15th rallies or would we diminish to a splattering of a few hundred nut jobs and fade into oblivion. I believe my question was answered. My wish has come true. Not only have we kept up the heat, we have turned it up several notches and added a flame thrower or two. I am so excited about what is happening and what is going to happen in D.C. with the &lt;a href="http://912dc.org"&gt;912 Taxpayer Revolt&lt;/a&gt;, I can hardly contain myself. In the words of Chris Mathews "it sends a tingling feeling up my leg". Well, not quite like he had but you get the drift. Anyway, Keep up the heat, We, my wife and I are certainly out here spreading the word up and down the road about the &lt;a href="http://912dc.org"&gt;March on  D.C on the 12th of September, '09&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://the912project.com"&gt;912 project&lt;/a&gt;. See you all in D.C.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Closing, Mr. and Ms. Politician, thug, Czar, and President, this is true passion, from all walks of American life, in all corners of the country, rich, poor and "Middle Class". These are your voters, your constituency, the people you see reflected in the &lt;a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/right_direction_or_wrong_track"&gt;polls&lt;/a&gt;. You know, the &lt;a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/right_direction_or_wrong_track"&gt;polls&lt;/a&gt; that you depended so much upon during your campaign for "Hope" and "Change". The &lt;a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/right_direction_or_wrong_track"&gt;polls&lt;/a&gt; that now that you are in office you don't put much stock into, because it isn't a true reflection of how America feels. I have news for you folks, the &lt;a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/right_direction_or_wrong_track"&gt;polls&lt;/a&gt; indicate EXACTLY how America feels, and you would do yourself well to be admonished by said &lt;a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/right_direction_or_wrong_track"&gt;polls&lt;/a&gt; and quit poking at a disgruntled, injured America. We The People will only be poked and prodded, pushed into a corner for so long.

I was honored by the request and promptly said yes. Ken and I have been friends for over 30 years thru good times and bad, health and illness, failed relationships, family tragedies, many jobs, wrecked cars, wrecked trucks, wrecked motorcycles, ( in case you haven't gotten the picture, we wrecked a lot of stuff). We often look at each other and wonder how we survived our younger years, to say that we here today because of more than a few cases of divine intervention is fact not speculation. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt; Both&lt;/strong&gt; of us come from families that worked hard and sacrificed to provide for us and our sibblings, and tought us Traditional American Values. We ourselves have been working since we were teenagers. We have made many mistakes in our lives and have always accepted the consequences of our actions. As we have grown older (and sometimes wiser) we have become more and more aware of the train wreck that our government has become. We realize that something has to be done to save the republic our founders established, the country we grew up in, the legacy we want to leave to our posterity.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;strong&gt;We&lt;/strong&gt; have entrusted one of our most beloved assets to a group of the most scurrilous bastards ever assembled, they are incompetent, irresponsible, arrogant, immoral, liars, cheats, thieves, perverts, etc., I don't believe I could think of any derogatory term that does not apply to at least one of them. &lt;br /&gt;  We have failed as responsible citizens by allowing this kind of riff raff to achieve the status they have. It is now our responsibility to correct this mistake. I'm mad as hell that we must take time out of our busy lives to oversee the elected officials that were supposed to be looking out for us, but we must. &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;strong&gt;We&lt;/strong&gt; must all make our voices heard loud and clear! Put your representatives and senators in contacts in your cell phone and call them regularly. Put them in your email adress book and email them regularly. Go to town hall meetings, Tea parties, meetup groups with fellow patriots, constitutional study groups, write a letter to the editor, talk to your family, your friends, your children.  We must all find our voice and do what we can to guide this great country back to the foundation it was built on. &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;strong&gt;As&lt;/strong&gt; we speak out just remember there will be those that provoke, demean and perhaps even threaten us, DO NOT ENGAGE THEM, do not even acknowledge them. Be polite, be courtious but be firm, you have the God given right for your voice to be heard. Spend some time thinking about what you want to say and how you want to say it, speak intellegently, speak confidently, BUT BY ALL MEANS SPEAK OUT !!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;                                                      In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;                                                   Colon Ampersand&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-4471279233892439288?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/4471279233892439288/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=4471279233892439288&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/4471279233892439288'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/4471279233892439288'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/08/allow-me-to-introduce-myself-i-was.html' title=''/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-4445017110712500327</id><published>2009-08-08T15:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-08T15:47:17.748-07:00</updated><title type='text'>"Manufactured Anger", Ya Think?</title><content type='html'>When you manufacture something, is it not also, "making something? If you followed me to that conclusion, then why not to this one? When the lying, cheating, thieving, conniving, hate spewing politicians in Washington, D.C. continue their walk down the road to tyranny, why would that &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt; "make us angry"? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Nancy Pelosi&lt;/span&gt; calls it an "astroturf" movement, cites "they're carrying swastikas".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Barbara Boxer&lt;/span&gt;, being the dim witted senator she is, says she " saw clips of people [storming] town hall meetings. The last time I saw [well dressed people] doing this was whel Al GOre asked me to go to Florida when they were recounting the ballots, I was confronted with the [same type of people]. This is all organized, this is planned to hurt our president, to change congress". By the way, I had planned on showing some respect to senator Boxer, but she prefers to be referred to as senator so, so be it. Personally, if I were a Senator, I would prefer "sir" or "mr", I consider the terms "senator" and Congressman" the lowest of low references in today's Washington, D.C. climate. As you wish thou, "Senator Boxer".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Rep Brad Miller(D-NC) 08/05/09&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canipe explained that Miller had no plans for a town hall before and won't be holding any now, due to this event and the examples he's already seen from the around the country: "Our point is, we're not gonna be bullied into having a town hall so it can then be interrupted by the fake grassroots folks."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many more quotes, many more references to "manufactured anger", but I think you get the point. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody ever mentions, when speaking of "organized" groups or mobs, how "O" had people who came to his gatherings, when he was still a candidate, give names, numbers, and email addresses to the "organizers" so that he or his mobsters could let everyone know where to be and when to be there for different meetings, for fund raising, for whatever he wanted them there for. Nobody mentions the bussed in acorn goons that went to the store front of AIG to protest. That wasn't "organized" now was it? What about the thugs in Tampa the other evening ripping another guys shirt off, what about the dirt bag SEIU members in St. Louis, beating the heck out of a black man for distributing the wrong kind of merchandise? None of this was "organized? was it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the people know, and won't admit, is that we are the majority. Unorganized, unaffiliated, unattached to any real "organization" or group bu certainly &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;UNWILLING &lt;/span&gt;to have a health care overhaul jammed down our collective throats. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find it very funny when driving along thinking about Nancy Pelosi, Babs boxer, Harry Reid and the rest of all the ilk in D.C. cowering in a corner, together, scared, because they know they are screwing up, but they aren't sure if they can ram all their policies through before Nov. 2010. They kn ow we're coming, they know we are relentless, they know they are done screwing up our lives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep up the great work fellow patriots, be polite but firm. Let them have their say, but let them know, that you know, they are liars. ALL of them. We know the "Blue Dogs" are only "Blue Dogs" until they get what they want in the various bills. We know the Republicans are only "Conservatives" until they are wooed by the powers that are, or the thugs at the top. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, they are all liars, they say what they want you to hear. The republicans have jumped on our "conservative movement" to save their asses from ousting in 2010. Don't let them get away with it, go in well versed on each of their voting records for the last 4-6 years, and lambaste them with their own records.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Closing, God Bless America. Please pray for us, out here in the truck. There is a lot of hatred, but a lot more people every day who align with our thoughts. This 2010 election cycle is the most important in our lives.

Our illustrious leaders, the ones who campaigned on "not 1 dime more in taxes for anyone making under $250,000.00", have added a dollar sales tax to cigarettes, and they are talking about higher "unhealthy" or "junk food" taxes for overweight people, among many other taxes that seem to be an affliction to the less fortunate. All these taxes are supposedly to curb the use of said items and therefore make folks healthier. The taxes would be used to help defray the increased costs of health care for the folks that decided to continue their use. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All that being said, why not a Gay sex tax. Or a tax on items, whatever they may be, sold to gay people for use during gay sex. Look, if cigarettes and junk food cause higher health care costs because of cancer, emphysema, obesity, heart disease, just to mention a few, and more gay lovers or gay sex participants have HIV Aids, according to &lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/surveillance/resources/reports/2007report/table1.htm"&gt;statistics&lt;/a&gt;, it only stand to reason that they should be taxed for their risky sexual habits. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point here is that if you are going to tax bad behavior that causes higher health risks, why stop at cigarettes and junk food? Why not really go for the gusto? Let's tax motorcycle riders for their leather clothing and boots and helmets and motorcycles. Let's tax race car drivers for the things they use, proportionately, according to the speed of the cars they drive and the danger of the tracks they use.&lt;br /&gt;Hey, here's and idea, how about taxing jobs according to danger or health risk. Firemen and police would pay a higher tax than a waitress, truck drivers would pay more than a secretary, and so on. A teacher would obviously pay a higher tax because they are consistently being exposed to colds, flu, and many other viral infections carried by grimy, dirty, stinky, school children who, for some reason refuse to cover their mouths when they cough and/or wash their hands periodically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you see the point America? Can you see how ridiculous it is to think that behavior modification can happen through taxation. Obviously, some smokers will stop smoking because of higher taxes but do seriously believe that a .03-.10 tax on a can of soda pop is going to make a difference in who drinks a soda? This is all about revenue and control. The more revenue they, the government bureaucrats, can steal from you, the more they can control you by telling you what to do, how and when to do it and what you can do it with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our federal government, and in many cases, state and local governments are out of control, in the form of taking control of everything in our lives. We must tell them, every chance we get, to get the hell out of our lives. We must start now, taking control away from them, leaving them the enumerated powers that are defined in the constitution. Build infrastructure and protect the American citizens from enemies, both foreign and domestic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our problem though, is that our enemies, both foreign and domestic have weaseled their ways into our government. We must use our voices by not supporting either party, financially or otherwise. We must vote out every incumbent and support only those candidates that support our views. Those are the views of the Founding Fathers.&lt;br /&gt;The 9 principles and 12 values that have made this country such a fantastic, strong, incredibly opportunistic place to live. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-5584796625974257450?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/5584796625974257450/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=5584796625974257450&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/5584796625974257450'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/5584796625974257450'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-about-gay-tax-for-higher-health.html' title='What About a Gay Tax for Higher Health Care Costs'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-668329308777232923</id><published>2009-07-27T20:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-27T20:10:45.548-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Very Trying Weekend...And Monday Too!!</title><content type='html'>First, again, I apologize for having not posted again for quite some time. I am very sorry. What I have realized is that the logistics of posting every move or change in a move is very difficult. I am in the process of teaching my wife to post here as well though so it should get somewhat easier to keep up with us as time passes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, for our weekend. We left Carson, CA at about 0900 on Saturday morning, headed for Kansas City, Mo, as indicated in my last post. Before we got out of Arizona we were asked to detour to Weatherford, OK to meet another team and switch loads/trailers with them. They live in Kansas City and needed to get home so it wasn't a problem. We would take their trailer/load on to Carson, CA, and they would take ours to Kansas City, MO. We hit some terrible weather around Winslow, AZ. As a matter of fact my wife was able to get a picture of a tornado that was touching down just north of the interstate just before we drove in to it. WOW, what a ride. Here is the picture she was able to get.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/Sm5oajFKMDI/AAAAAAAAAD8/EvFJlqfJ4RA/s1600-h/46cropped.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 199px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/Sm5oajFKMDI/AAAAAAAAAD8/EvFJlqfJ4RA/s200/46cropped.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363339011547607090" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ended up meeting up with my old friend at Holbrook, AZ, he had just bought a new truck and wanted me to see it, a very nice ride. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/Sm5pXsF7TpI/AAAAAAAAAEE/I55f3ElbyXo/s1600-h/51cropped.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 122px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/Sm5pXsF7TpI/AAAAAAAAAEE/I55f3ElbyXo/s200/51cropped.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363340061938765458" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We visited for about 30 minutes or so and took off. He and his wife and grandson was going the same direction so they decided to follow us and we visited on the C.B. Radio as we drove. We were just riding along, visiting, having a great time and a police officer passed me,(a New Mexico State Police Officer), like I was sitting still, with his lights on. He got about 4-6 car lengths ahead of me in the left lane and slammed on his brakes, shut of his red lights and as I went passed him he jumped in behind me. I drove on, about 1/2 mile or so, and he was tailing me very closely, with the left side of his car just to the outside of the left side of my truck. I think, though he says it isn't true, that he still had his headlights flashing, so I pulled over to the shoulder of the road. I immediately climbed from the cab, walked to the rear of my trailer, where he met me, and he asked if I was alright. I stated I was fine and he instructed me to stand at the rear of my trailer, and again asked was I sure that I was alright because he had a call that someone in a truck with a flag on it ran two cars off the road back at about the 75 mile post. We were at this point at the 98 mile post. Remember now, my friend, his wife and grandchild were following me, within about 200 yards or so, until I pulled over. He was on his radio talking to dispatch and then asked for my driver's license. I went to the truck, officer Hammond of the New Mexico State Police, in tow and got my driver's license for him. He then proceeded to ask for my log book as well and again, with officer Hammond, of the New Mexico State Police following my every footstep, I retrieved my log book. He asked if there was anyone else in the truck and I informed him my wife was in the bunk. He asked if that was the only person and if I was sure there was no-one else in there. I again, assured him, we were  the only two folks in the truck. The officer continued questioning me in generalities, about where we picked the trailer up, where we were headed, what we were hauling, etc., he then asked if he could "pat me down" and told me to place my hands on the back of the trailer. About this time another officer, Seargent Troy(I later learned), of the New Mexico State Police had pulled up, lights flashing, and officer Hammond went to his car to speak with him. Officer, oops, Seargent Troy, they are very touchy about their titles, got out of his car and walked over to me and officer Hammond went to get my wife out of the truck. Seargent Troy asked me if Officer Hammond had told me what was going on, and I told him the yes, Officer Hammond had told me that he had a report of me running two cars off the road, but that I knew that that hadn't happened and he proceeded to tell me that we were pulling a "stolen trailer". He said that they were just waiting on their people to confirm with our company that it was no longer a stolen unit and we would be on our way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a a side note, I'll explain something here. While I won't say who we are leased to, I will say this. The name of the company we are leased to is on both sides,of the trailer in 8' lettering, on the rear in 1' lettering and the nose of the trailer in 8" lettering. The name of the company is also on our truck, in 4" letters on both sides, along with the company D.O.T. number. In our truck, there is a permit book with the company name on every single piece of paper in the book, which is somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 pieces of paper in the form of official, state issued permits, listing the D.O.T. number and the name of the company on each. Also in the permit book, is a lease, listing company name, D.O.T. Number, address, telephone number, our truck number, the vehicle ID number for the truck and the vehicle truck Number that the company issues at the time of lease to each truck, and it is a truck specific number meaning that each truck has a different number. The lease is signed and dated by both myself and my wife. The signatures on the lease match both mine and my wife's signatures on our driver's licenses. The license plates on the truck are the same that are listed on the registration, listing myself and my wife as owners and the company to which we are leased as lessee. That would be the same company who's name is on the side of the trailer. The trailer, in the New Mexico State Police's own computer system, comes back as being registered to the company we are leased to and who's name is on the side of the trailer. The plates on the trailer match the registration that is in the trailer which shows registration to the company to which we are leased. There is a trailer number, on the trailer, both front and rear in 6" letters, again a trailer specific number, which matches the trailer on the registration and the Vehicle ID number on the registration matches the Vehicle ID number stamped in a plate, attached with special rivets to the nose of the trailer. Upon calling the company, they told the officers that it was their trailer. Are you getting the point here? All the numbers match all the vehicles, that match all the registrations, that match all the leases and permits, that match the driver's whose names are on the driver's license along with matching pictures. I mean...I'm jsut sayin'. Can you add two and two? New Mexico State Police Seargent Troy and officer Hammond, obviously can't. Anyway, I digress, back to the story now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point they told me to walk down the sandy hill about 50 feet or so and stand by the fence. Whatever, I complied, as directed, and they started questioning my wife. By now, 3 more police officers with the New Mexico State Police, have pulled up with lights flashing and they all convene near one of the squad cars. After a few minutes of conversation, two of the officers headed for the cab of the truck, two stood around talking and another was again questioning my wife, who by this time is in tears. The two who headed for the truck, proceeded to stop and read the side of the truck, as much as they  know how to read, which I contend, that by their ability to add 2 + 2 and figure out the trailer isn't stolen, they can't read much. After a brief stop at the side of the truck and putting their hands all over it, one of the officers climbed in, uninvited and without asking I might add, went to the back into the sleeper and was there about 2-3 minutes. The other officer was rifling through the paperwork on the dash. I had on the dash, my bills of lading along with 10, 9-12 pamphlets and 912 taxpayer revolt flyers, a picture of the truck, and a copy of the "First They Came For..." poem that I have on  the side of the truck. Those things are all 1 short now plus no poem. I still have the picture of the truck. They eventually exited the truck and went back to the other group of officers who were gathered around my wife interrogating her. Now one officer comes and gets me, and I joked to him, hey, why is it that I have to walk in the sand with my good boots and clean britches on and when you want to talk to me you hollar and ask me to come to you instead of walking to me in the sand? His remark was, that's why I carry a gun, so when I use my voice, people jump, and he smiled at me. He had me stand against his squad car where he  also stood, making small talk about the weather, mosquitoes, the police academy, and whatever he could think of to talk about. The other officers were still aggressively interrogating my terrified, crying wife. After about 2 hours, Officer Troy came to me and told me that the company had verified it was a stolen trailer and that we were going to be placed in "investigative detention" until the matter could be resolved. They allowed us to get a few things out of the truck, so I grabbed my phone and a bottle of water. After about 3-4 minutes of explaining to them about all the numbers matching, all the names matching and all the registrations matching, I called my dispatch office and they wanted to talk to the Seargent, who refused to speak with them. They cuffed me, and frisked me again,(which I was told wasn't called frisking but "patting down"). I was approached by another of the officers. He called himself an "inspector", and he stated he had some questions for me and I told him if I was under arrest, I was done talking. That pissed this little bald headed, Hitleresque fella off. He said "so you aren't going to cooperate?" I stated I had been cooperative up to the point that I was placed under arrest and I was talking no more. Man, did he get mad. He made sure that I knew that I hadn't cooperated with him because I hadn't even met or talked to him yet and again, I advised the fellow that I had nothing else to say. They stuffed me in the rear of the squad car, shut the door, and all converged around my wife again. Now a tow truck pulls up, gets in front of my truck and the driver comes back to talk to the officers. One of the officers walked back up front with him, three of them are harassing, unrelentingly, my wife for some further information that they thought we were hiding, and the 5th officer was in the front seat of the squad car that I was in. They would talk to her for a minute or two, then come back and harass me, then back to her and so on. Now, someone had decided that they needed to see the inside of the trailer to check for...whatever. The trailer had a hardened bolt seal installed, in Carson at our terminal, before I picked the trailer up. Mind you too, the number on the bolt seal, matched the number on the bills of lading, that had the city of origin, city of delivery, and the company name and address on the bills. More proof, we weren't lying. Anyway, the tow truck driver, being quite the brain surgeon, though a rather lumpy, hairy, dirty one, went to his truck and obtained a hammer and a chisel to cut the bolt seal off. He beat the hell out of the back of the trailer, I told them that they needed bolt cutters to cut the seal. I later found out that my wife had told them the same thing, but he continued to beat the hell out of the trailer. I told them I had a pair of bolt cutters and they asked where they were but I decided to refuse to tell them. One of the other officers, the bald, Hitler like guy, went to his pickup truck and got a pair and they cut the seal off. Of course, they found nothing but a load of miscellaneous freight, but none the less, they showed us, and the bolt seal who was boss. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another note of interest here is that the little Hitler like guy, for some reason, felt the need to assure me and my wife that he was "just trying to help us". I again went through all the numbers matching, and all and that i understood that they weren't allowed to think for them selves but rather had to do as told so let's just move on though the steps here. Again, that didn't make them happy. I was told I was a jerk, by the bald guy. I told him, "I know I'm a jerk, I don't want to be a jerk but that I was in the back of a police car, in hand cuffs for the first time in my life, for something I didn't do and that with a little thought could be proved that the trailer wasn't stolen. I proceeded to state that I didn't think the whole ordeal had anything to do with the trailer but rather a check of us, our demeanor, and or truck to make sure we weren't some of the ones the D.H.S. report from a few months back had told police departments to be on the lookout for. His reply was simply, "that's ridiculous", mine, "is it now". He then stated he liked what was on the truck and that he had read some of it. I looked puzzled, right square into his eyes and said inquisitively, "you can read?" He slammed the door, where I was sitting and walked off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After another 15-20 minutes or so of deteriorating attitudes of both myself and my wife, who by now is crying, no balling her eyes out, the tow truck driver decided he wasn't smart enough to tow the truck without damage(which I decided when he got out of the truck the first time), so they made a group decision to let my wife drive the truck to the impound yard while they escorted us, front and rear. I wasn't allowed to drive, I guess I was going to use all that sleek, high speed power and uncanny  ability to elude the police officers. So we headed for the impound yard, back west about 22 miles, where she parked the truck and we were taken inside to sit and wait out the paperwork clearance for the "stolen trailer".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were a few other officers in the building and one of them seemed to keep going outside, coming back in, asking questions about the truck, he'd sit down and write a bit, go outside again, come back inside and call Officer Hammond to the back, come back write some more, and finally about 1 hour later we were released, with apology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, I have left some facts out of this post, though few. All, and I mean all, pertinent facts are here, with no embellishment. This was truly the most horrible, demeaning, belittling, demoralizing experience of our lives. I guess I have never felt as helpless in my life as I did when I was sitting cuffed, in the back of that squad car, while watching them demoralize and verbally harass my wife. I realize that police officers have a job to do, I realize that it is one of the toughest jobs in the United States. I further understand that they must protect themselves and the public. My question though, is this, after seeing all the paperwork, hearing me explain, twice, all the numbers matching on everything right down to the seal on the trailer, after ransacking our truck, stealing a 912 project flyer, 912 taxpayer revolt flyer, and a copy of the poem on the side of m truck, after cuffing me, obviously for the intimidation factor, why is it that there was no report number given to me, no citations, no inspection report on log books or vehicle safety, or anything else that would prove that we sat on the side of the road, being harassed by the New Mexico State Police, for 31/2 hours, and released, according to the seargent, without cause. What the Hell is that? I can't even prove we were there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I understand now, to some extent, how professor Gates felt that he was being harassed, and I also see the officers side of having to protect themselves. Somewhere though, there must be a middle ground. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-668329308777232923?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/668329308777232923/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=668329308777232923&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/668329308777232923'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/668329308777232923'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/07/very-trying-weekendand-monday-too.html' title='A Very Trying Weekend...And Monday Too!!'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/Sm5oajFKMDI/AAAAAAAAAD8/EvFJlqfJ4RA/s72-c/46cropped.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-9134103376984483036</id><published>2009-07-23T18:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-23T18:34:33.084-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health care reform'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hannity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fox News'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bill O&apos;Reilly'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faux news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='prescription drugs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><title type='text'>What the Hell is wrong With O'Reilly</title><content type='html'>Lat night, after the Obama news conference, Bill O'Reilly came on and I, against my better judgment, continued to listen to faux news. I don't listen to O'Reilly, or Hannity, alot just because they wants to give the impression of impartiality when they definitely are not impartial. While O'reilly is somewhat better than Hannity at hiding his views, they do get exposed in most cases. I don't think O'Reilly is near the partisan hack, cool aid drinker that Hannity is though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point though is this. Has O'Reilly gone totally nuts or has he developed the same comatose state of mind that most of the rest of America has? He said last night, confusingly to me, that "O"'s intentions in the health care reform are good but he just doesn't know how to convey that to the American people. What? Good intentions? So the idea of encouraging the elderly to choose hospice over extended life care. That's well intended? Might I suggest that the reality is that Obama doesn't want us to understand the bill rather than not know how to present it to us in a way that we can understand it? We're not stupid O'Reilly, we know what the plan is, and what this president wants...Power, full, unblocked, total control over our lives. I, for one am not up for it and I hope O'Reilly wakes his back side up and sees what "O" is really up to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other thing O'Reilly said last night was that everyone knows that when the government buys in bulk they can save money, referring to prescription drugs. Oh, really, you mean like the sliced ham and cheese that they over paid for as shown on the government website a few days ago. That kind of bulk purchases. I think we don't need any more purchases like that myself. Come on Bill, wake up pal!! JMHO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Hannity, well what can I say? He is just a tool, a political, partisan hack. Funny to watch sometimes though. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-9134103376984483036?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/9134103376984483036/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=9134103376984483036&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/9134103376984483036'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/9134103376984483036'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-hell-is-wrong-with-oreilly.html' title='What the Hell is wrong With O&apos;Reilly'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-5495453793320055016</id><published>2009-07-23T16:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-23T18:00:47.765-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health care reform'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='costs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health care'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='speech'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='care'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='government'/><title type='text'>Obama Just WILL NOT Answer a Question the Way it is Asked</title><content type='html'>I didn't get to see the speech on "Health Insurance Reform" last night, however I did listen to it via XM radio. I really think that is a benefit to me, because I can't see body movement, eye twitches or eyes following the teleprompter, and I can't see or usually can't hear who he "O" is calling on for the next question. I think that takes a lot of possible bias out of my opinion. That being said, what the heck are we doing even contemplating a plan being pushed by a President who we know is willing to do whatever it takes to get his agenda through congress?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night, the questions were somewhat more challenging to the President but still rather soft when compared to press conferences of past Presidents. Though the questions were a little tougher, there was no followup. Not sure if that was the reporters or the presidents decision but none the less, no followup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When asked whether Congress and He would abide by the new health bill, he skirted the question on himself by stating that he had the best health care possible with a doctor following himself at all times. As far as congress goes, the President continued, the health care that they have IS much like the one he is proposing in that there is a pool of providers and they can pick from that pool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was then asked, by another "reporter" whether or not and what would the sacrifices in health care be for the average citizen, or will there be health care denied to anyone. His non-answer on this one was, Yes, Americans will have to sacrifice the practice of paying for things that don't work or that don't make them better. My feelings on that answer is, if you're terminal, or if you are old and unproductive, no care for you, go home and die peacefully. In fact, the bill says, the elderly will be forced to undergo end of life counseling on the benefits of hospice as opposed to extended life care. Closer to the end of his non-answer on this question, he changed the question, altogether, to say, so will there be changes i n the way health care is delivered in America, yes, that is what "health Insurance Reform" is all about. Changing the way it is delivered to reduce waste, and expense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When asked about taxes going up he said he would not stand for the brunt of the cost to be put on the shoulders of the middle class. He would support a tax on folks that make over 1 million dollars. Okay, so let's see, the folks that make over a million dollars are the ones who provide jobs to the "middle class". Assuming he is going to tax the crap out of those folks, it would stand to reason that they won't be able to hire as many middle class workers, so isn't that putting the cost of the "o-care" plan on the shoulders of the "middle Class"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, in his opening remarks he used some terms and some numbers that concern me just a little, okay, not a little ...a lot! He used the number of 47 million without health insurance. Let's look at that number. We have, using the low number, 12 million illegal aliens living here and abusing our system, we hav, as far as the numbers I have heard batted around about 20 million in transition between jobs who will likely have health care when they go back to work. And lastly, that leaves approximately 15 million without health insurance. Some of which choose not to purchase insurance due to a euphoric feeling of invincibility and the rest will be the ones who are legitimately un or under insured. My question is, why are we forcing everyone into his plan, why not just the ones who want and can't afford insurance?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also said the economy is fixed, no-one is forecasting, or predicting doom and destruction or a collapse of our financial system. You needn't look any further than the report of U.S. embassies be told to purchase local currencies to see that some in the state department are expecting a financial meltdown. Just check financial sources around the internet to get the truth about the financial stability in this country. The stock market is being manipulated to cause a perception of recovery while freight movement, other than food products, has slowed to a crawl. Fixed my butt. We haven't even hit bottom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing, why have we switch terminology from "Health Care Reform" to "Health Insurance Reform"? I contend that the switch is because the administration has ale=ready told you how bad the evil, rich, poor hating insurance companies continue to molest your wallets unabated. This is just another way of making you believe that it is all about the insurance companies causing the problem when in reality, if the government would get their thieving asses out of the medicare business, costs would come down for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADWspeach&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-5495453793320055016?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/5495453793320055016/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=5495453793320055016&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/5495453793320055016'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/5495453793320055016'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/07/obama-just-will-not-answer-question-it.html' title='Obama Just WILL NOT Answer a Question the Way it is Asked'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-2984584268145915795</id><published>2009-07-19T11:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-19T18:39:18.706-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='taxpayers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='revolt'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='census'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='uprising'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Freedom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vote'/><title type='text'>What the??? Where Are All the Unhappy People Hiding...and Why?</title><content type='html'>Earlier today, I got to thinking about the number of folks in this country and why we can't seem to get more of them to wake up or to get involved politically. I realize that there is a certain number of people that will just never get involved because of lack of interest. There is yet another group, who we really don't want involved, I'll not make a definition of those here, but even if those numbers were as high as 60% combined, which we are led to believe by the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2008"&gt;last election numbers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/publicdata?ds=uspopulation&amp;met=population&amp;tdim=true&amp;q=what+is+the+population+in+the+u.s."&gt;with a total U.S. population of 305 million&lt;/a&gt;, that leaves 40% or 125 million +/- a few of the population to be politically active. We know that "O" received 53% or about &lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/president/"&gt;66.25&lt;/a&gt; million popular votes. So we know those are mostly Die Hard Liberals. We will probably never change MOST of their minds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the thing though. That leaves about &lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/president/"&gt;46% or 59&lt;/a&gt; million "fence sitters", (called so because we know that MOST of those didn't vote for Mccain, they voted AGAINST "O"). So why in the heck are there not rallies of epic proportions in the street on a daily basis?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Compare the above numbers to these. In 2007, according to what &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sports_attendance_figures#Top_10_in_Average_Attendance"&gt;stats&lt;/a&gt; I can find, approximately 1.31 million folks attend  a sports event of some kind every week in this country. Well, I guess that isn't really accurate because that just involves NFL and MLB games which covers about 40 weeks, some of which overlap. So really, if you added in motor sports, hockey, and golf the numbers would be far, far higher. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what I am getting at...If we just allowed for the 46% or 59 million who voted for McCain to be in the streets, that would be about 1.13 million, PER WEEK, to be in the streets(59 million divided by 52 weeks). Okay, most of us work, right? So with the unemployment rate at 9.5%&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;(governments lying numbers)&lt;/span&gt; that is about 29 million people out of work right now. Certainly, many of those voted for "O", but even if we said the full 53% number applies to the unemployed as well, that would leave &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;13.3 million people&lt;/span&gt; to raise hell or at least march defiantly in the streets of America...&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;WEEKLY!&lt;/span&gt; Where the Hell are they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why, in the world,are we willing to send our young men and women, oversees to foreign countries, to fight for and die for our freedoms, and we won't even get off our lazy, overfed, credit soaked asses, right here in our own back yards, to raise enough Hell to get a spot on the evening news, or in the Sunday papers. I just DO NOT get it!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outside Independence Hall when&lt;br /&gt;the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended,&lt;br /&gt;Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin,&lt;br /&gt;"Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"&lt;br /&gt;With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded,&lt;br /&gt;"A republic, if you can keep it." &lt;br /&gt;~Benjamin Franklin, 1787~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Please, take the reins , wake up America,WAKE UP NOW OR LOSE YOUR REPUBLIC FOREVER Stand and and Scream at the Top of you Lungs.

The folks at &lt;a href="http://www.todaysgraphicsinc.com/"&gt;Today's Graphics INC&lt;/a&gt; have gone over and above what was expected in design, dedication and application of this &lt;a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&amp;SESSION=vAXIUfoyVkmLTDO-lmdPHOgk5AWNgai0lkL7QZ7y9tgI1iTBLXIFruzLHrq&amp;dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1fb6947b0aeae66fdb090c3508df63c7a078883ba93cc8aafe"&gt;project&lt;/a&gt;. Words, nor could pictures ever describe how I appreciate their quality in workmanship and generous devotion of their time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Glenn Beck does not have anything to do with this &lt;a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&amp;SESSION=vAXIUfoyVkmLTDO-lmdPHOgk5AWNgai0lkL7QZ7y9tgI1iTBLXIFruzLHrq&amp;dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1fb6947b0aeae66fdb090c3508df63c7a078883ba93cc8aafe"&gt;project&lt;/a&gt; personally, his website, and &lt;a href="http://www.glennbeck.com/"&gt;radio&lt;/a&gt; and television talk shows are certainly the inspiration behind the design. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe, like Glenn, that we all have a place in life, we are all here for a purpose. While we may not always know where we are being led, where God is telling us to go, as long as we go where He guides us, all will work out. The road may be rough, trials will be many but if we will Keep Our Chin Up, Eyes Forward, and Pray Fervently, God will certainly help us through the trials and tribulations we may suffer. My belief is that Glenn is here to encourage all of us and that I am here to do what I am doing...Trying to wake up America. You too, have a purpose, a calling if you will. The fact is, that if you are here, or on www.the912project.com, or listening to Glenn on his radio and television shows, I think it is for a reason. This country was founded on Christian Values and it will be saved in the same manner in which it was founded, and by the same type of folks, regular, everyday, run of the mill, average RED BLOODED AMERICANS!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All that being said, I have for several weeks been promising pictures of my &lt;a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&amp;SESSION=vAXIUfoyVkmLTDO-lmdPHOgk5AWNgai0lkL7QZ7y9tgI1iTBLXIFruzLHrq&amp;dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1fb6947b0aeae66fdb090c3508df63c7a078883ba93cc8aafe"&gt;truck&lt;/a&gt; after the "&lt;a href="http://www.todaysgraphicsinc.com/"&gt;wrap&lt;/a&gt;" was done.

I will, as promised, be updating this site almost daily, sometimes more often, other times less often, so that you will know where I am and if I am going to be in your city soon. I hope that you will all come see the &lt;a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&amp;SESSION=vAXIUfoyVkmLTDO-lmdPHOgk5AWNgai0lkL7QZ7y9tgI1iTBLXIFruzLHrq&amp;dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1fb6947b0aeae66fdb090c3508df63c7a078883ba93cc8aafe"&gt;truck&lt;/a&gt; if we get to your city. The company we work for has terminals in all major U.S. cities, mostly around the airport any given city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For now, please enjoy the pictures until you can get to see the truck. Remember, pictures just do not do this &lt;a href="http://www.todaysgraphicsinc.com/"&gt;wrap&lt;/a&gt; justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please, if you like what we are doing, if you believe in our country, the 912 project, the Tea Party Movement, and that all we need is to wake Americans up so that we can salvage our country, feel free to &lt;a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&amp;SESSION=vAXIUfoyVkmLTDO-lmdPHOgk5AWNgai0lkL7QZ7y9tgI1iTBLXIFruzLHrq&amp;dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1fb6947b0aeae66fdb090c3508df63c7a078883ba93cc8aafe"&gt;donate here&lt;/a&gt; to help defray the costs of our project.

A break from the destruction of our constitution, first through a shredder, then right into the fire pit. A break from FAUX News channel, a break from internet access, a break from all things political.

We left the house about noon and headed East and had a great drive. Really, we had no idea what to expect when we got there but were very excited about seeing the shuttle go up, from about 15 miles out. What an amazing place. We ended up at Space view Park, which as stated earlier, is about 15 miles due west of the launch site.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/Sls7INl8cdI/AAAAAAAAACk/vZsnd8r5KhQ/s1600-h/373cropped.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/Sls7INl8cdI/AAAAAAAAACk/vZsnd8r5KhQ/s320/373cropped.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357941193961140690" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This park is amazing.

As close as I can figure, we have about 2 Czars for every cabinet position. Folks, this is truly scary. A Czar, in American Government, undergoes no Senate confirmation hearings, answers to no-one except the President, and is not subject to any congressional hearings or oversight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;At this point we have Czars for all the following:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Middle-East Peace Czar-George Mitchell&lt;br /&gt;2) Car Czar-Ed Montgomery&lt;br /&gt;3) Tarp Czar-Herb Allison&lt;br /&gt;4) Regulatory Czar-Cass Sunstein&lt;br /&gt;5) Technology Czar-Aneesh Chopra&lt;br /&gt;6) Economic Czar-Paul Voelker&lt;br /&gt;7) Terrorism Czar-Gary Samore&lt;br /&gt;8) Pay Czar-Kenneth Feinberg&lt;br /&gt;9) Housing Czar-Adolfo Carrion&lt;br /&gt;10)Information Czar-Vivek Kundra&lt;br /&gt;11)Green Jobs Czar-Van Jones&lt;br /&gt;12)Climate Czar-Todd Stern&lt;br /&gt;13)Energy Czar-Carol M.

I mean power that can't be usurped by a "Czar". Remember, a Czar has no oversight and answers to no-one except the President. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, the House and Senate pass a bill, the Czar, whose power that bill encroaches, ignores the bill and continues to do as told by the President. Congress calls for oversight hearings. Oops, sorry, no oversight hearings for Czars. Executive Privilege is claimed and Congress in overridden. The case goes to the Supreme Court and obviously, the court upholds the Presidents wish as they generally rule with the sitting administration in cases like this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, for the "Powerless Pawns of Misdirection" Question. It is my belief that Congress is being used simply to misdirect our anger. We get so angry at The House Reps and Senators that we forget about the people really running things, making policy and carrying out the orders of the King, I mean the Messiah, nope, darn it, I mean the President. So, has our anger been misdirected?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Now, Is Washington D.C. a city of Lawmakers or Powerless Pawns of Misdirection?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Wake up people&lt;/span&gt;, our Constitution is literally being run through a shredder right directly into the fire pit. Not only is Congress' power being undermined but &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;WE THE PEOPLE&lt;/span&gt; are being diminished at every tick of the clock. Please, Please, Please, join the 9-12ers, The Tea Party Patriots, the NRA, and any other group you can think of. Call your Senators and House Reps and tell them what you think, what you want, and what you &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;DEMAND&lt;/span&gt; as a part of &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;WE THE PEOPLE!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Call 202-224-3121&lt;/span&gt;, give the operator your zip code, tell them you want your House Reps office and your Senators offices and tell them the country is headed in the wrong direction. Talk to you friends and have them call. Scream, scream at the top of your lungs and wake up the neighbors. We are in serious trouble in this country folks, and if we don't wake up it's going to be too late. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-1481443507192050956?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/1481443507192050956'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/1481443507192050956'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/07/congresslawmakers-or-powerless-pawns-of.html' title='Congress...Lawmakers, or Powerless Pawns of Misdirection?'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-6980794926257569880</id><published>2009-07-07T18:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-07T19:31:26.546-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='912er'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Family'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sarah palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tea Party'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Sarah Palin's Resignation...Calculated Genius or Political Catastophe?</title><content type='html'>First, I don't believe she actually cares about her political career one way or another, but to answer the above question I think we have to examine what Sarah Palin has in mind for her future. The problem with that though, is that Ms. Palin and her husband are probably the only two who know what her future plans really are. I do think, however, that if we look at who Sarah Palin is, and who she says she serves we can see a long way into the future, and see what she actually has in mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ms. Palin has always pronounced her Faith in God, Her Love for her Family, and Her dedication to the service of Alaska, and Devotion to Country as her religious, moral and political stance. In my humble opinion, that is just exactly what she has in mind for her future, Just follow me here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, her faith in God gives her, her moral, undying, love for her family and her faith in God, and love for her family, make it an obligation for her to devote herself to promoting the principles and values that America was founded upon. Actually, I no more believe you can separate one from the other without destroying the person that she is, than you can separate Christ from the Immaculate Conception without destroying the entire foundation of the Christian Faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The MSM just does not understand how anyone could profess to put &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;ANYTHING&lt;/span&gt; ahead of politics and fame. The fact of the matter is that the pukes in the MSM that claim to know, know nothing. They know nothing that isn't in their world, and Ms. Palin, and the rest of America are in totally different worlds than the East and West coasts of America, which is where the so call or self proclaimed, Main Stream Media resides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the above had to be pointed out, in my opinion, to say this. Sarah Palin is going to do whatever will serve Her Lord, Her Family and Her Country the best...In that order. I believe, Ms Palin will work feverishly to support, promote, and advance the &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;conservative&lt;/span&gt; movement the best way she knows how, by being Sarah Palin, and in my eyes, that is absolutely the best way to promote the movement. I mean, who better to speak for what we believe. I can think of no-one. I'm not sure that she will claim to be a 9-12er or a Tea Party Patriot but I am positively sure that she will do her best to support the principles and values of those and many organizations like them and the principles and values of our Founding Fathers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, whether she decides to run for another office or not, who the hell says that less than 1 full term as Governor of Alaska isn't enough to qualify her for a run for higher office. We have a current President, in Barack Obama, who served less than 1 year of a 6 year term as a dirt bag Senator. Besides jumping form dirt bag Senator to President, he never ran a business, Ms. Palin has, he never worked outside politics, Ms. Palin has, and he attended a church full of hate for 20 years, and surrounded himself with Marxist, and Socialists all his life...&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Sarah Palin didn't!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-6980794926257569880?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/6980794926257569880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/6980794926257569880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/07/sarah-palins-resignationcalculated.html' title='Sarah Palin&apos;s Resignation...Calculated Genius or Political Catastophe?'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-7602464014078686669</id><published>2009-07-05T21:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-05T21:41:29.399-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='912 truck'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wrap'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='912dc.org'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='truck project'/><title type='text'>Truck to be Wrapped This Week</title><content type='html'>My wife and I are at our home this week for some much deserved time off. Well, kinda time of. Actually, I will be working on maintaining the truck for much of the next 14 days and my wife is working in the house, so actually, though we aren't working at our "regular" job, we are actually working.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides me working on the truck, I will have the truck at the vinyl printer/installer for our "912 project" theme wrap. I believe you will all be very pleased with the finished product and that you will be proud to be a part of the project. The contractor wants the truck for five full days since it is such a big project and one that demands the utmost attention to detail. After the truck is done on Sunday, there will be a photographer here on Monday to get some professional quality pictures to send out to everyone involved in the project and to post here on this site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure and check back here often to see the finished product and to see where we are traveling at any given time so that you can come and see the truck when we are in your area. Also, please be sure and sign up to attend the 912dc.org taxpayer protest in Washington D.C.. We will have the truck in the area that week and we hope to see you all there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Please feel free to make you contribution to the project here as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="business" value="timex39n01@ymail.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Stop The Destruction Of America"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF:btn_contributeCC_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-7602464014078686669?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/7602464014078686669/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=7602464014078686669&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/7602464014078686669'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/7602464014078686669'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/07/truck-to-be-wrapped-this-week.html' title='Truck to be Wrapped This Week'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-4663412828383317723</id><published>2009-07-04T19:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-04T20:45:46.954-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dade City'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crist'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tea Party Pictures'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='governor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ritch Workman organizers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='HM 19'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tea Party'/><title type='text'>Tea Party, Dade City, Florida</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SlAY9j7S88I/AAAAAAAAACA/uNbVWoir0XA/s1600-h/IMG_0347+cropped.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 283px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SlAY9j7S88I/AAAAAAAAACA/uNbVWoir0XA/s320/IMG_0347+cropped.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354807402838553538" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wife and I were blessed enough to be at our home in Dade City today and decided that since we were home we would spend our day off at a local Tea Party gathering. We had a pretty good sized crowd for a community as small as ours. I would guess somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 or so. More important than the size of the crowd though, was the energy and enthusiasm of those that were there. Both the speakers and the attendees were excited to be there, excited to be involved with a grass roots type movement and ready, willing and able to recruit others to help to promote our agenda. I was certainly pleased with the enthusiasm of everyone and when I am home will absolutely be attending any and all meetups that are planned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would just like to take a moment and thank the organizers and all the great speakers that we had. They were certainly enthusiastic, even passionate about the cause and the future of our community, our state and our nation. What a pleasant surprise. We hear on every news station, read in every paper, and hear folks talking in, seemingly everywhere we go, about the continuous demise of our country and sometimes it is just nice to be around some people who don't feel so defeated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SlASuSqHoSI/AAAAAAAAAB4/vtzpxyFkSaw/s1600-h/IMG_0365.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SlASuSqHoSI/AAAAAAAAAB4/vtzpxyFkSaw/s320/IMG_0365.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354800543435301154" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SlASuLOeIyI/AAAAAAAAABw/BQa6Ob50JD8/s1600-h/IMG_0345.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 283px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SlASuLOeIyI/AAAAAAAAABw/BQa6Ob50JD8/s320/IMG_0345.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354800541440287522" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also learned today that a resolution has been written for introduction to the state house declaring state sovereignty. HM 19, written by Ritch Workman, is a resolution regarding the 10th amendment rights in the U.S. Constitution. This is something all Floridians need to get behind. We need to call our local Reps and State Senators and have them get behind this resolution to get is passed and signed by the (tongue in cheek), "illustrious", Governor Crist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, it was highly invigorating to see so many young people take such an interest in their future. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SlAea34Eg5I/AAAAAAAAACI/RLSIfKfu9kQ/s1600-h/IMG_0342.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SlAea34Eg5I/AAAAAAAAACI/RLSIfKfu9kQ/s320/IMG_0342.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354813403968078738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I can only wish I had taken that much of an interest in my future when I was their age.

I found it interesting, not only for it's historical value , but for the irony of how it applies, or doesn't, to today's America. The fact of the matter is that if these 56 folks and their families had been nearly as purposely apathetic and deliberately ignorant as most Americans are now, we would live in a much different America today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read on and see if you think, honestly, deep down, that you would have chosen to sign the Declaration of Independence, knowing your fate ahead of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;they died.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;honor. What kind of men were they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;almost constantly.  He served in the Congress without pay, and his family&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;reward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the battle of Yorktown , Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;within a few months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember: &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Freedom is Never Free!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These 56 men, and their families, were true patriots. These folks knew, when they signed that document the were not only signing America's Birth Certificate, but that they were also signing their own death certificates along with many of their family member's death certificates. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a Stand America. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;WHAT IS FREEDOM WORTH TO YOU?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-7526483639135690745?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/7526483639135690745/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=7526483639135690745&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/7526483639135690745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/7526483639135690745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/07/have-you-ever-wondered-what-happened-to.html' title='What is Freedom Worth to You?'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SkzyLFck17I/AAAAAAAAABo/FHRN7p5cgIY/s72-c/tea+party+pic+(2).jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-3747664234777806403</id><published>2009-06-30T17:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-30T17:15:07.787-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='912 movement'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='912dc.org'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='9.12.09 taxpayer protest'/><title type='text'>9.12.09 Taxpayer Protest</title><content type='html'>I found today, while searching the many different "912 movement" web sites a site called http://912dc.org. I am so glad that someone took up the mantle and moved this project forward beyond just venting on the original "the912project.com" site. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wife and I registered for the gathering on 9-12-09 in DC and are excited about going. We will be driving our truck to the protest, or at least as close to the protest as we can get it and hope to have the wrap on it by then. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took liberties with their front page and downloaded the logo flier/logo and made fliers to hand out and hang up at all our stops between now and the time of the event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will, in the future, be posting more here about the protest so say tuned and go sign up now. We need as many folks there as we can get.

I can think of no other &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;LOGICAL&lt;/span&gt; reason for such an irresponsible vote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I mean look, the liberals are known to be, and are even expected to vote irresponsibly but these folks are supposed to be conservative Republicans. Not only did they vote yes on this bill, but they obviously hadn't read the 1300 page monstrosity nor had they even thought of the possible ramifications of the most sweeping tax legislation ever to hit the American citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only reasoning I can think of is that they were afraid of having some very, very, bad and or embarrassing news and or photographs exposed if they didn't do as told. Surely to goodness no one could vote yes on legislation like this thinking honestly that it would be good for the American Republic. That leaves but two possibilities, the aforementioned and...treason. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My worry is what's next, health care, gun control, another pork laden stimulus product, who knows but will these folks get some backbone, or maybe dig up a little integrity before the next vote. Will these 8 traitors decide that rather than destroy this Republic any further, rather than tighten the binding chains of tyranny on their constituents any tighter, that they will take the lumps due them for any wrongdoing that the Democratic leadership may be holding over their heads? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;I think not, but I digress...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;I speculate, you decide&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-4667120760154363396?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/4667120760154363396/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=4667120760154363396&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/4667120760154363396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/4667120760154363396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/06/8-turncoatsvoluntary-traitors-or.html' title='The 8 Turncoats...Voluntary Traitors or Blackmailed into Oblivion'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-3430128448019769625</id><published>2009-06-28T16:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-28T16:18:13.258-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Leap of Faith</title><content type='html'>Just a note to let you all know that we, my wife and I, have decided, on a leap of faith, to move forward on this project. We have decided that someone MUST do SOMETHING and that that someone is going to be us. We will be selling shirts and bumper stickers with images of the truck on them to help defray the costs of the wrap and any shows we may enter. We will also still be accepting contributions, however we have come to the realization that everyone has a project to do, they all cost money, and if they support our project then they will have fewer funds to support their own.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 912 site has been a great site to air thoughts, ideas, fears, and even differences but from my point of view it has become a venting solution for our disgust of our government and our marginalization by the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel a calling to do this and with only two obstacles, money and fear, We have decided to take the money out of the equation and meet fear head on...with a vengeance. We are taking the 8th to the 17th of July off work at our very humble abode in Florida to have the wrap done, take care of some deferred maintenance, on the truck AND ourselves, and we will be back on the road on or about the 18th of July.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have decided to call the truck "America's Alarm Clock" or just "Alarm Clock", whichever we can find a way to work into the design features of the wrap. I will, after finished post a picture of the truck at both of my blogspot blogs for all to see. I will also, on one of the blogs be trying to post daily updates of our travels and where will will be at a given time just in case anyone who reads it may want to see the truck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/&lt;br /&gt; http://912truck.blogspot.com/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hope to spark conversation, debate, interest, and participation in the 912 project, tea parties, and the salvation of our great nation. We also hope that if you all see us on the road you will give a hearty wave and wish us your best. I have no delusions of grandeur, America is asleep and it is going to be very hard for us to wake them up. Talk radio, television, newspapers, etc. haven't been able to do it so I see it quite doubtful that one truck traveling the country with two nut job, radical, hate mongers at the wheel will be able to do it any time soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope in the future I can announce another project that we have in mind to gain support for "the912project.com" revolutionary movement. I believe in America so greatly that nothing is too far fetched, anything can happen and we will win our country back. Thanks for indulging and God Bless you all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;AMERICA'S ALARM CLOCK&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;WAKE UP, RISE UP, STAND UP, and SPEAK UP AMERICA.

The short answer, I believe,is &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Yes&lt;/span&gt;. In the immortal words of John Kerry..."I Believe", the media, in their non-coverage of the issue is absolutely complicit if not culpable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The endless coverage of the death of Michael Jackson has kept the issue of cap and trade on the back burner. The media can now say, "but this is what the sheeple wanted", "no, really, look at our ratings". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact of the matter is, in my humble opinion, that the msm has a duty, if not an obligation to keep us informed. Now I realize that money matters but I also know that the citizens have to be informed to be able to make a difference. We have all kinds of options for "media" but even the folks that do stay somewhat engaged are relatively lazy when it comes to acquiring information. We need to be "fed" rather than having to "hunt". The unfortunate thing is that the media, congress, the president, and anyone else involved in policy making know what to put in the news, when to drop it and when not to make a newsworthy drop. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you think that isn't the case, how many people are aware that 5 more banks were taken over by the fed this past Friday night? Again, newsworthy information dropped after the close of business on Friday night. The news gets buried in the weekend papers over the weekend and it then is never mentioned again. The politicians have become masters at using this technique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point is that if the msm were doing their job as "investigative reporters" and acting as the "fourth branch" of government like they lay claim to then the slime ball politicians couldn't get away with this practice. For me, I'll continue to stay attuned to the happenings around me and to the actions of our greasy, slime ball, gutter snipe politicians by doing my due diligence, reading,  and listening to every one who is talking...liberal &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;OR&lt;/span&gt; conservative. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess in summation, the real problem is &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Ignorance&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Apathy&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;I don't know and I don't care.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-1395278318622715305?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/1395278318622715305/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=1395278318622715305&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/1395278318622715305'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/1395278318622715305'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/06/is-media-culpable.html' title='Is The Media Culpable?'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-6579459880490506675</id><published>2009-06-22T16:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-22T16:35:49.971-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Glenn Beck'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Common Sense'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='review'/><title type='text'>On Glenn Beck's Common Sense.</title><content type='html'>I purchased Glenn's book the other day and honestly I figured it would be just another of his rants making "non-specific" accusations. Man was I wrong. While I do believe that a few more "republican's" could have been called out by name in the book, I also think he done a very good job of nailing whoever he named directly too the wall. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quite frankly, I didn't believe he would be nearly as overt about the "call to action" as he was and it was actually a pleasant surprise to see those words in print. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also think it too bad that mostly only his listeners will read the book. I and another of my friends have bought 12 copies each and are in the process of passing them to the most unlikely readers we can find. I think it is too bad that the cover of the book can't be removed so that the prejudice against the writer would be extinguished and the book seen for what it really is, an enlightening to an "out of control government".  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For what it's worth, good job Glenn. The call to action has re-kindled my burning desire to take back our country form an "out of control government" on the verge of tyranny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-6579459880490506675?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/6579459880490506675/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=6579459880490506675&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/6579459880490506675'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/6579459880490506675'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/06/on-glenn-becks-common-sense.html' title='On Glenn Beck&apos;s Common Sense.'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-8628077452462611694</id><published>2009-06-22T15:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-22T17:05:17.160-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Iran'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='revolt'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='uprising'/><title type='text'>Obama's Measured Silence on Iran...Deafening or Deliberate?</title><content type='html'>Far be it from me to second guess the decisions made by the President, but I am willing to guess at what the implications of those decisions may be. The President's silence on the political eruption in Iran is one decision that has this writer wondering. As I see it there are two or maybe three possibilities for his relative silence on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;First&lt;/span&gt;, He and his administration have decided it best, just like he said, to stay out of it for the most part so as not to be used as a foil in the situation by those in charge. He just doesn't want to give them a reason to blame the United States for the unrest in their country. I mean, if we are seen as an instigator and a lot of Iranians end up dying, as I predict will happen, and the current regime' stays in charge, also as I see happening, then we...The United States, are seen by the people of that country as the cause of the deaths and we are seen by that regime' as instigators and they won't be as likely, in B.O.'s opinion, to come to the table in future negotiations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Or...&lt;/span&gt;, He doesn't want to instigate the uprising any further than he has because he knows that he won't be willing to stand behind those that are revolting. Whether he doesn't want them to succeed or just doesn't want to get involved with helping to put another country back together, who knows, but in my humble opinion, if we aren't going to stand with them through the entire fight and help them when it get's tough then we sure shouldn't encourage a bunch of dissidents to risk life and limb. Certainly though, if we are willing to stand with them in the name of freedom they should know that as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Or...&lt;/span&gt;, and what I believe may be at the real root of the silence is a "deliberately pointed response" What if Obama sees what is happening there as a prelude to what is coming &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;. What if his pointed response is just that. He sees the unrest in this country at a near boil and doesn't want to be too terribly harsh on the regime' in Iran because he doesn't know what he may have to do to quash the unrest, revolt, uprising, dissent, and all around dissatisfaction in his own country. He just may not want to be seen as a hypocrite for doing here what they are doing there to silence the distrust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have to decide for yourself what you think, I am just here to offer possibilities and opinions. I will tell you though that &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;we&lt;/span&gt; are at a boiling point in this country. I see the distrust of this government at an unbelievable high right now and quite honestly I'm not sure why people aren't already marching in the streets. I can assure you though that the time is near in this country for an uprising of astronomical proportions. My wife and I travel an average of 20000 miles per month in the lower 48 states and everywhere we go there is total dissatisfaction. The time is very, very near. I can only pray for peaceful protests rather than a bloody revolt. Whatever happens, God Bless our Great Country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just want to know who is doing the "poling" in this country and who the "polers" are calling.

I am working my butt off to wake people up all over the country. I am a truck owner/driver and run the lower 48 United States. I talk to people everywhere ago about the peril America in in right now. I keep in my truck a box of pocket constitutions and pass them out everywhere I go, I leave them with tips in restaurants, in shopping carts, and hand them to people everywhere. Now I would like to take another step but it is going to be pretty expensive. I want to have my truck "wrapped" in vinyl with the Unite or Die/912 Flag and put the 9 values and 12 principles in it as well. I think this is a great way to raise awareness and spark conversations all over the country. My problem is that it is fairly expensive to do, about 4500.00 or so. I am looking for a way to raise funds and have had some interest in others making contributions to the cause. If you are interested in helping or have any ideas please let me know. I will include a picture of the truck here so that you can see the "before" and will be happy to post an after pic once it is done. I'm not looking for a money maker just funds for the wrap and installation. There is nothing in it for me but the salvation of our country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="business" value="timex39n01@ymail.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Stop The Destruction Of America"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF:btn_donateCC_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-4871861954409412232?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/4871861954409412232/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=4871861954409412232&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/4871861954409412232'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/4871861954409412232'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/06/looking-for-help-fund-raisers-donations.html' title='912 Project Truck...Looking for help, fund raisers, donations, etc.'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SigvKEM8zJI/AAAAAAAAABA/7NKJF5gCrJ0/s72-c/cropped.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-7264052810031018488</id><published>2009-05-27T15:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-25T12:48:50.540-07:00</updated><title type='text'>First they came for...</title><content type='html'>When They came for the banks,&lt;br /&gt;I remained silent,&lt;br /&gt;I was not a banker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then they came for the Auto Manufacturers,&lt;br /&gt;I remained silent,&lt;br /&gt;I did not manufacture automobiles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then they came for the transportation industry,&lt;br /&gt;I did not protest,&lt;br /&gt;I did not fly a plane or run a train or drive a truck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then they came for the food distributors,&lt;br /&gt;I did not speak out,&lt;br /&gt;I dealt not with food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then He came for the blue collar worker, (me)&lt;br /&gt;There was no one left to speak out for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( Original credit to Pastor Martin Niemolleron the inactivity of the German intellectuals...the original poem can be seen here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please, take the reins, wake up America, stand up and scream at the top of your lungs.

I think he knows exactly what to say, and when and how to say it to the American people. I think he knows when people are listening, which people are listening and how to get the people he wants to listen...to listen. I believe he knows what NOT to say, when NOT to say it and precisely how to &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;unsay&lt;/span&gt; whatever he might say that he didn't want to. Actually, I believe he never actually makes a mistake by saying something he didn't want to say, but rather puts little leaders or feelers out to see how a given subject might be reacted to and then knows how to redact or unsay or correct whatever may have been "misunderstood" if the reaction wasn't the one for which had had hoped. IMHO, this is exactly who Barack Obama is and what he was trained for. The word "Chameleon" comes to mind? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe he knows the constitution word for word , exactly what it says, but far more importantly is that I believe he knows exactly what it &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;DOESN'T&lt;/span&gt; say and how to use that to his benefit to force through his agenda and policies. This man truly scares me for America and what she represents...&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;LIBERTY!!!&lt;/span&gt;. I believe that if he isn't stopped he will destroy the country as we know it and make it what he and the progressive, liberal machine want, A TOTALLY CONTROLLED SOCIETY/ECONOMY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Closing, keep up the good fight, swing when you get an opening, and stay covered up because that right hook is gonna hurt as long as you are watching for the left jab. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean...I'm just sayin'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-230692204099038928?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/230692204099038928/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=230692204099038928&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/230692204099038928'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/230692204099038928'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/05/barack-obama-is.html' title='Barack Obama Is...'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-7912561503964903610</id><published>2009-04-17T08:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-17T09:16:32.287-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stupid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vote'/><title type='text'>Will We Follow Up and Keep Our Promise to Vote Them  ALL out</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SeiolctCHoI/AAAAAAAAAA4/ptXFqnevRzI/s1600-h/stupid.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 223px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SeiolctCHoI/AAAAAAAAAA4/ptXFqnevRzI/s320/stupid.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325691920679313026" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to say, I was very encouraged after looking through some of the "blog" coverage and non-msm coverage of the "Tea Parties". The 9/12 website has many video's posted and Michele Malkin done a fantastic job of covering them. I can only hope we can continue the outrage through to the next election(2010).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much has been made of "Vote them all out", but I must wonder if... &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;a.)&lt;/span&gt;Will the outrage still be as pronounced, as prominent as it is at this point by the time we get to Nov 2010. and &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;b.)&lt;/span&gt;Will there be an option at every seat opening or at every seat that is open to re-election. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many good Americans feel compelled to run right now but I wonder if they will follow through? Do they really realize what is involved, how vitriolic the msm can and will be to anyone who opposes them, their agenda, and the President's agenda? Do they kn ow how hard or near impossible it is to get msm coverage for their campaign? Do they know how the system is slanted towards the two party system and how hard it is to get one of the two parties to "nominate" you as their "nominee" if you aren't in line with the agenda of the &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;machine.&lt;. I certainly am not looking to discourage anyone because I plan on voting against any and all incumbents but I think people need to start now if they plan on running in 2010. At least start local campaigning, raising funds, filing paperwork etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all know how the incumbents will fall in line with their constituents when it comes time to vote them out. We know that now, but will we remember it in 2010. Will we remember how they &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;screwed us to the wall&lt; when the time comes? I can only hope. I know that I am here to keep the masses rallied. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I encourage everyone that can or is so inclined to do so to run for some, any election in 2010. Local, county, state, federal, whatever. We must continue to start the change and get it moving. Keep the heat on these jerks in power. Yes power. That is all it is for them. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;It isn't an office of service to the public but rather a pulpit of power over the public.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-7912561503964903610?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/7912561503964903610/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=7912561503964903610&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/7912561503964903610'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/7912561503964903610'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/04/will-we-follow-up-and-keep-our-promise.html' title='Will We Follow Up and Keep Our Promise to Vote Them  ALL out'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SeiolctCHoI/AAAAAAAAAA4/ptXFqnevRzI/s72-c/stupid.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-608397655127335519</id><published>2009-04-16T10:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-16T10:46:15.448-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='9/12'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='taxes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tea parties'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Movement'/><title type='text'>About the "Tea Parties"</title><content type='html'>Okay, so I know that I am going to be pretty much lambasted for these comments but I feel I have to make them anyway. First though, just let me say that I agree 100% with the idea and purpose behind this movement. I believe that 99% of the people that attended were there for all the right reasons. I am a faithful member of this site, a true 9/12'r and a believer in the American spirit of WE THE PEOPLE!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was unable to attend a tea party today. I DID, however, participate in the digital tea party emailing everyone in the senate and house. I am an over the road truck driver/owner operator. My wife and I own our truck and run nationwide delivering the freight you all need and use every day. Since we were unable to attend we made a concerted effort to pay very close attention to media coverage from many different venues, radio and internet and many different sources from each. Following is what we feel the mainstream media and the "opposition" to this movement took away from many of the sites of our gatherings and protests. I know I'll regret the next paragraph but here we go. Again, our perception of what we think they thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a pretty large gathering in San Antonio, TX for a free Ted Nugent concert and a Glenn Beck insider convention. In Atlanta Sean Hanity, the Far right cool-aid and vitriol was flowing abuntantly at a free concert by John Rich, the entertainer and a meet Joe-the-plumber rally. In South Carolina Republican presidential wishful and former Arkansas evangelical Governor hosted a "flat tax" rally in further promotion of future presidential bids. Neal Cavuto was in Sacramento, CA for a bussed in Hollywood conservative meet and great and Greta covered what was obviously a neighborly get together for those few conservatives in our nations capital, (the one place that may have been noticed), who aren't fair weather protesters. There were a few other gatherings around the country, mostly inconsequential, that had a radio personality for followers to fawn over but mostly a mere gathering of fear mongering, haters rallied in small numbers to stir discontent among the masses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more time, not what we got out of it, not what we think it was about. Merely what we both believe the opposition will take from it and how the Obamedia will spin it. I am truly sorry if I offend anyone. Certainly not my intentions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In God I Trust&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great Day and a Better Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;ADW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-608397655127335519?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/608397655127335519/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=608397655127335519&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/608397655127335519'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/608397655127335519'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/04/about-tea-parties.html' title='About the &quot;Tea Parties&quot;'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517816505515575876.post-3418140995956729744</id><published>2009-04-16T10:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-16T13:42:07.708-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='senators'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='letter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mad'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='house reps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Movement'/><title type='text'>Letter to Senators and House Reps</title><content type='html'>&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I am writing this letter to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the trajectory of our great nation. First I guess full disclosure is necessary. I didn’t vote for the sitting president based on his proclaimed beliefs of wealth redistribution. I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican. I am, however, fairly conservative in my views, particularly fiscally conservative. Now that we have that out of the way let me just say…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;“I AM MAD AS HELL AND WILL NO LONGER SIT IDLY BY AND LET THE ILK IN &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;WASHINGTON&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;st1:state&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;D.C.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt; DESTROY OUR COUNTRY.!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; has been lulled to sleep over the past several decades; I included, through the ready availability of credit, mindless television, and the ever decreasing accountability of the media to be the so called “4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; branch” of our government.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Allow me to announce that the end to your free reign is here. &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;, among many other Americans, am sick and tired of your ramming through legislation at will. Never listening to your constituents, the very constituents that elected you, and continuing to pursue a path of Socialistic governance to maintain your standing, your stature, your power over the citizens of this great nation.&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;THE SLEEPING GIANT HAS AWAKENED!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Make no mistake. Senator&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;, we the people&lt;/span&gt; are coming after the seat you occupy. &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We&lt;/span&gt; are going to take our nation back. Take it back from those of you who believe you are above the constitution, that you are smarter than our Founding Fathers, those who believe that only the government is big enough to provide our needs, who believe that bailing out companies is better than allowing them to fail and have someone in the private sector take them over or to fill the void that they may leave. &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; are going to take those seats that are occupied by those who believe our sovereignty should be shared, that believe that citizenship by foreign invaders is a right and not a privilege, that believe our constitution is a living breathing document that must change with the times, that think stealing tax dollars to bail out auto manufacturers, banks, insurance companies and hedge funds who over leveraged, home owners who over spent, credit card companies who over loaned is all okay because they are “too big to fail”.&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; are tired, Senator, of the trashing of our constitution, the very constitution you swore to uphold, the very constitution that we the people have to wonder if you have even read. &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; are tired of seeing our liberties slowly but surely infringed upon. The very liberties that our young faithful troops are fighting for and for which so many have died. You all send our troops to battle and then argue about funding them, fight about what they are doing there and how they should fight.. They go into harms’ way knowing that they may be killed at any moment but that they aren’t authorized to shoot until shot at first. It’s war Senator. It’s war. Let them fight to win or bring them home.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; are tired of the United Nations throwing the &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;United   States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, their main contributor, under the bus. We the people are sick of them telling us how bad we are and how good everyone else is but continuing to take our tax dollars. &lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;GET US OUT OF THE United Nations.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; are sick Senator of you enacting legislation to chase a problem. You never seem to be ahead of a problem. All your actions seem to be in response to a problem rather than to prevent one. As a matter of fact Senator, it seems that most of the problems you chase with legislation are problems created by previously passed legislation. You see sir/madam, when&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt; we the people&lt;/span&gt; elect you to the position you hold &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;we the people&lt;/span&gt; expect that you are people who see problems coming rather than ones who watch them go by us. I suspect, in fact, that if you were a CEO of a publicly held company in the &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;United   States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; of yesteryear that you would be fired and chased out of town. Today, however you’d just be bailed out or maybe taken over by our out of control government. You obviously could never run a small business because a small business thrives on fore thinkers, people who see problems on the horizon rather than in the rear view mirror.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; are bewildered by the idea of Socialism, redistribution. Who the heck are you to tell us that the money we earn should be gathered by you and doled out to those who choose not to work for it or not to work harder for what they want out of life. Our &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;United States of America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is one of the few countries in the world where you can succeed if you set your mind to it and really work hard. &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; believe in Life, &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Liberty&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; and the Pursuit of happiness. NOT the guarantee of happiness through large government or the guarantee of the same outcome during the pursuit of happiness.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; are appalled by the idea of your being able to vote yourself raises, spending packages, health care packages, vacation packages etc., etc.. No wonder yours has turned into a lifelong career rather than a part time service to the nation. You all can vote yourself whatever you want. &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; could never gather a group at work and vote ourselves a raise and then inform management that we now make ??? dollars per year. What the hell is that Senator? No more. No more pay raises, no more tripled office spending allocations, no more anything. Get out and get out NOW!!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Most of us, about 86% or so believe in God. I believe more than that believe in some entity greater than them but refuse to call “it” God do to a resistance to or a fear of ideological or theological indoctrination. My point here is that our nation, being the one of a kind, the greatest, freest nation on earth was founded on the principle that a Godless nation or an immoral people could not handle this type of Republic. You have managed to take God out of our schools, out of many of the government buildings, made government officials afraid to mention God in a speech for fear of retribution or ridicule and all but told our preachers, priests and other religious leaders what they can say pertaining to government and the officials they agree with or not.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;We’re coming after that seat Senator, make no mistake, we’re coming.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We are tired of the political game playing, tired of both parties stacking the courts with political hacks that choose to legislate from the bench rather than just adjudicating the constitution.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people are &lt;/span&gt;tired of the arrogance and the marginalization of our concerns by both you and your staff when we call. You see senator, regardless how menial our concerns may seem to you they were obviously important enough for us to pick up the phone and make a call. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; are sick to death of the tax code being 86000 pages and really only applying to the “peasants” who elected you and not to the ones who write it and enforce it. Somehow, even they can’t seem to understand it well enough to live by it. We want the “Fair Tax” put into effect to replace, yes replace the monstrosity of a tax code that is there now.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Stop attacking our 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; amendment rights. Stop chipping away at our right to bear arms. That senator is an absolute constitutional right and shall not be infringed upon in any way. Get out of the constitution, stop trying to manipulate it for political gain and legislate according to it as you were elected to do. Stop it, stop it right now.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Senator, &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;we the people&lt;/span&gt; demand that the out of control spending of our and our children’s and grandchildren’s tax dollars stop. &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; want it stopped NOW. As I was growing up I thought a “Billion” was a made up number. Now Senator we are not only hearing about billions but with regularity trillions are talked about and I have even heard batted around with impunity quadrillions. What the hell are you doing to us?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Stop printing money, stop devaluing the currency of this nation. &lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;STOP THE DEFICIT SPENDING AND STOP IT NOW!!!!!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Stop Senator! Stop the “middle of the night” legislation. The “rushed through without reading” passage of massive pork filled spending bills. It is all too obvious that those are nothing more than payoffs or future payments for elections or reelections. Stop it. &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; are tired of paying for your ever increasing power over the people rather than power by the people. &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; will no longer sit by and allow the passage of such bills and when they happen you will be taken to task and FIRED. No more Senator, No more free rides on the backs of the tax payers. &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; are coming after that seat. &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; loaned it to you, you abused it, and now we want it back. For the good of our country we are asking you to resign with dignity at the end of your current term or be resolute to losing that seat in humility. &lt;b style=""&gt;WE THE PEOPLE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK. &lt;/b&gt;We want it back and are determined to take it back. You see senator, the truth is that &lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt;"&gt;WE THE PEOPLE&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;SURROUND&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;YOU!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; You answer to us. &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We&lt;/span&gt; do not answer to you. &lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Script MT Bold&amp;quot;;"&gt;We the people&lt;/span&gt; elected you and we can and will take that seat back. We will take our country back and restore it to the country our Founding Fathers envisioned.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In closing Senator, as you can see I have enclosed a pocket copy of our United States Constitution. I urge you to read it, keep it handy and legislate by it for the remainder of your term, as you were elected and sworn to do by your constituents.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;The Principles we live by…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol style="margin-top: 0in;" start="1" type="1"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;strong&gt;America&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;strong&gt;      Is Good.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;God&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the external rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;from George Washington’s first Inaugural address.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Honesty&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; “I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;George Washington&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;4. &lt;strong&gt;The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Marriage/Family&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Thomas Jefferson&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Justice&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Thomas Jefferson&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;6. &lt;strong&gt;I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Life, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Liberty&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;, &amp;amp; The Pursuit of Happiness &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Thomas Jefferson&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;7. &lt;strong&gt;I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Charity&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;George Washington&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;8. &lt;strong&gt;It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;On your right to disagree &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or more properly without thinking.” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;George Washington&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;      &lt;/span&gt;9. &lt;strong&gt;The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Who works for whom?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; “I consider the people who constitute a society or a nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Thomas Jefferson&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Values we live by…&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Honesty&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reverence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hope &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thrift &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Humility&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Charity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sincerity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Moderation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hard Work&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Courage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Personal      Responsibility&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gratitude&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Very Upset, Concerned, American Citizen&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1517816505515575876-3418140995956729744?l=stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/3418140995956729744/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1517816505515575876&amp;postID=3418140995956729744&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/3418140995956729744'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1517816505515575876/posts/default/3418140995956729744'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stopthedestructionofamerica.blogspot.com/2009/04/letter-to-senators-and-house-reps.html' title='Letter to Senators and House Reps'/><author><name>ADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02936347990903324548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuDzNz60vZM/SmCOtolZHvI/AAAAAAAAADM/po8Vai0zAlQ/S220/IMG_0416.JPG'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry></feed>
