“If you are going through hell, keep going.” -– Winston Churchill
Despite putting up some great blogs, in my opinion, this month professionally it has been the worst in probably 20 years.
I was so stressed out I barely slept.
I can barely eat.
I have visions of foreclosure, bankruptcy and ruin, dancing in my dreams.
But I have had a good cry.
But I am not about to quit.
I may not win, but if I give it my all, then that at least is consolation.
But take nothing for granted.
I used to.
And that is what I would tell the Republicans right about now.
They are facing an enemy that goes by the rule of there are no rules.
The end justifies the means.
Winning is the only acceptable outcome. Morals and ethics mean nothing.
They are a hindrance.
For winning is power. And power is all that matters.
But the Republicans have also got to bring hope back.
The “Hope & Change” that was stolen from us by the Democrats.
And they can’t fail.
It’s a very high bar in a very partisan raptor-eat-piranha world.
The Mainstream Media is most definite NOT on your side.
So you are going to have to get to the people. Expecting the Mainstream Media to be anything else but totally in the tank for the Democrats is a mistake.
I still have to pick myself up. The Punches are going to still be coming.
Hell awaits.
But you just have to keep going.
Keep Believing.
Keep Hope alive.
And for a devout pessimist like myself that is a tough task.
But it’s necessary.
It must be fought.
And to regain the soul of this country that has been invaded by the terminal cancer of Liberal socialism, it’s a tough disease to fight.
But if you don’t all hope is lost.
The Country is the Titanic, she’s hit an iceberg of cold socialism, the question is will she sink?
That is the question.
And the vote on November 2nd by you and me determines that.
No equivocation. This is do or die for Old Glory.
Are we a nation of innovations and rugged individualists and idealists or are we a country that says all I want is the spoils but none of pain or responsibility for it.
Gimme….Gimme…Gimme
What’s mine is mine and what’s your is also mine because I deserve it!
Do you earn it or are you entitled to it?
Is the spoils of others’ labors superior to the spoils of your own?
Is it all about you?
Are you center of your own universe and everything MUST spin around you and do your bidding and if it doesn’t you are entitled to it anyhow.
Because it’s only “fair”.
Or are you Galileo who dares to be the heretic against the tidal wave of political correctness, fear, and division.
We are in the midst of a great Un-Civil War and one of the greatest speechs in the history of mankind is very approriate at this time.
The Gettysburg Address By Abraham Lincoln (Modernized)
Eleven score and fourteen years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal regardless of differences.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. The politically correct wolves are at the door and their teeth are bared.
We are met here on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
The Voting Booth. That most hallowed of ground.
But in a larger sense we can not dedicate – we can not consecrate – we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled, here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but can never forget what they did here.
November 2, 2010.
It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
AMEN!

Just Plain Silly
Massachusetts, The Socialist Commonwealth, has many new Liberal ideas starting out there.
There auto insurance is so heavily regulated they have a lot less competition going on in that state. BTW, did you know you have the option to buy coverage to have it apply out-of-state!
See part 5: This option provides coverage for accidents beyond Massachusetts to anywhere in the United States, its territories or possessions, or Canada.
http://www.mypolicy.com/insurance-personal/automobile-12parts.htm
Universal Health care started there in 2007 and was bankrupt by 2009, but that doesn’t deter anyone.
So here is an editorial from The Daily Caller that stuck my fancy.
If you’re planning to spend the next New Year’s Day in Concord, Massachusetts, don’t get caught nursing your annual hangover with a plastic bottle of cool spring water — you might be breaking the law.
The city of Concord passed a law in April banning all bottled water in plastic containers, effective January 1, 2011. Supporters of the law say ridding the town of bottled water is a first step toward a cleaner planet. Never mind that plastic water bottles only account less than one percent of landfill space. Who are we to let facts get in the way of a good regulation?
In commemoration of the successful campaign to rid Concord of bottled H20, we decided to take a look at a few of the other laws that have come out of the Bay State, a land full of people who clearly think they are incapable of making personal decisions on their own accord.
1. A January 2010 law mandates that all children in Massachusetts daycare centers must brush their teeth after lunch — or else.
It is against the law for daycare providers to not help children brush their teeth after meals. While parents can opt out (either on libertarian principle or family tradition if they’re from some parts of Alabama), they can rest easy knowing that state bureaucrats are looking out for their children’s pearly whites. Heck, the state even provides toothpaste, brushes and holders! What? No floss?! There oughta be a law…
2. It is illegal in Massachusetts to deface a milk carton.
From what we can gather, there was once a rogue band of underground milkmen roaming the New England countryside defacing poor innocent milk cartons with giant Sharpie pens. The horror! The mayhem! The curdling! Well, the state put an end to that, slapping a $10 fine on anyone who dared to vandalize a container of 2 percent.
3. It is illegal in Dudley, Massachusetts to own more than three cats without government permission.
Here’s to you, Dudley, for finding a way to push that nice lady with kitty litter in her hair and all those pussycats even further into desperate reclusion. Residents of the town decided to impose a $100-per-day fine for owning too many cats after someone living next to the town cat lady complained about the felines ruining his yard. The cat lady promptly put her home up for sale, packed her 15 cats, and never looked back. Success!
4. Children in Attleboro, Massachusetts are forbidden from playing “tag” or other running games during playtime.
Heaven forbid an American child loses all that self-esteem his teachers worked so hard to build over the years. (Remember, everyone’s a winner!) A school in Massachusetts made national headlines in 2006 for issuing playground rules that restricted children from playing “chasing” games like tag and touch football because they were “dangerous” and “exclusionary.” In a rousing match of phone tag, a spokesman for the school refused to confirm or deny to The Daily Caller that tag is still allowed today. Guess that means we’re it.
5. A Massachusetts fisherman was fined for saving a whale caught in his net.
As Clare Boothe Luce once quipped, no good deed goes unpunished. A U.S. District Court fined fisherman Robert J. Eldridge $500 after he untangled a whale from his nets and set the giant sea mammal free. What he should have done, the court told him, was call state authorities and wait for them do it. Never mind that the whale may have suffocated if they didn’t arrive in time. But hey, Eldridge should consider himself lucky: He could have faced a $100,000 fine and up to a year in jail. That’ll teach him.
Honorable Mention: Group in Cambridge calls for a ban on all meat on Mondays.
The Cambridge Climate Congress, established to make recommendations for climate laws for the People’s Republic of Cambridge, recently proposed a ban on all meat sales once a week to curb the “climate emergency.” (It didn’t pass.) As the logic goes, meat comes from cows, and cows emit gas (farts) that heats up the planet. Let’s take a moment to thank the selfless citizens of Cambridge for making a good faith effort to rid the world of climate change and those smelly bovine backsides.
So what new hot liberal trend to run your life for you will be coming to a town near you, or even yours.
Let’s Wait and see.

The Constitution
Writing in Salon.com, Gabriel Winant (a very Leftist columnist) complains of conservatives’ “weird fetishism for the Constitution.” ‘Nuff said.
US Constitution, Article II, Section 1
Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
VP: I, (name), do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
Well, so much for that…
Chinese proverb “May you live in interesting times.” (sometimes referred to as a curse).
“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.” –Benjamin Franklin
The constitution includes language to imply an expectation for the government’s incapacity to indefinitely respect the inalienable rights of it people and establishes that the ultimate power for the government reside in the people and not a monarchy, president, or congress. It should not surprise us that our politicians have done exactly what our founders expected them to; allow power to corrupt. This, after all, is a human characteristic that has been fully recognized and suitably acknowledged for all of recorded human history. It should surprise us that the very people whose rights have been infringed upon represent the specific group who has enabled these politicians, sworn to “preserve, protect and defend” the constitution, to iteratively abolish their rights. Indeed, it is the less fortunate, struggling, and working man; attracted to the appeal of big government and frightened by the complexities of our every-changing society, that is most willing to sacrifice constitutional rights in exchange for hollow promises of greater security. Sadly, it is this group who would most benefit from the very constitutional rights they are convinced to sacrifice, with little in return.(Scott Mitchell)
The End justifies the Means.
The End is Absolute power.
And absolute power corrupts absolutely.
So it’s crunch time. 5 months to the election.
Gotta get it done now.
The candy store is being foreclosed on.
And We the People will be stuck with the bill.
