The winds of change are blowing. America’s silent majority are waking up to the fact that the future of our country is in jeopardy. The liberal-biased media were scoffing at the idea that the Tea Party movement would have any impact. They are now beginning to eat their words. Incumbents from both parties are running scared.

It is time for change on a massive scale. It is time to vote all incumbents out of office, regardless of party. Politically I consider myself to be a moderate conservative, that, however, does not automatically make me a Republican. I often find myself leaning more to the Libertarian point of view. I believe in smaller less intrusive government, lower taxes and more personal responsibility. I should not have to pay the bill because someone, in power feels that you are too big to fail.

I have become a strong Tea Party supporter. I feel that this grass-roots movement is best thing that has happened to America, in my lifetime. I am comfortable putting my future in the hands of someone like “Joe the Plumber” who just may have more common sense than the Ivy League educated idiots that now run our government. It would be nearly impossible to do worse.

If we do not stop the blind rush to socialism “now,” it will take generations to correct the damage. Consider the damage Barackj Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have done in two years, than before you vote consider what they would do in six more years. The time to stop this insanity is now.

Someone will have to pay the bill. It will not be the rich as Obama so eloquently implies. They have the resources to hire the attorneys and accountants to avoid taxes. Instead of creating jobs with their wealth, they will take their money offshore to protect their base assets. No, as always it will be the middle class who will bear the brunt of this administrations fiscal follies.

If you are a liberal Democrat, think very carefully what you wish for. Your dreams may come true. Those dreams could turn out to be NIGHTMARES. America is well on the way to becoming a democratic socialist republic. We are following the path that Europe took. However, Europe is beginning wakeup and realize that socialism is not a panacea. Socialism has never been sustainable in the long run.

However, if you believe that bigger government and higher taxes is the answer to this countries problems, if you feel the stimulus created jobs, that the bail out of the banks was necessary, if you truly believe that government-mandated health care will lower the costs of health care and provide better health care, if you feel deficit spending will bring prosperity, if you believe that government ownership of the auto industry is a good thing, if you support cap and trade, which will double the costs of energy and cost thousands of jobs, if your truly believe that more corporate regulation will create jobs, if you believe the illegals should get full amnesty, if you truly believe in the socialist nanny state, than you deserve, Obama, Reid and Pelosi. May God help us.

As citizens we have every right to be mad as hell. However, we still hold the power to, with a stroke of a pen, vote the fat cat incumbent politicians and judges out of office and begin reclaiming this great country. Think twice before you vote for an individual who marches in lockstep with Nancy Pelosi and the far left agenda.

A revolution is taking place for America’s soul, come join us, let your voice be heard, get out and help elect those who represent all that is good and decent in America.
