‘CHANGE it Back – Fire Congress

by Carl E. Van Buren on November 14, 2009 · 19 comments

change

As the world knows by now, the House of Representatives, in all their wisdom, have chosen to blatantly ignore the undeniable opposition of the American people, and forced through a 220 – 215 vote in favor of their own vision of health care ‘reform’.

It’s not as if we did not make it plain to them.  Not like we kept it a secret.  They knew very well that the overwhelming majority wanted nothing to do with this bill, in it’s present form.

Sadly, this is not the only case where congress has shown their lack of concern for the people’s wishes.  It is, in fact, becoming a very noticeable pattern.  Discussing all of them here would only lengthen this commentary, and also be of little value.  Most reading this are well aware of the endless string of transgressions by the congress, and their ‘indentured Lap Dog’ White House.

The purpose of the above is simply a reminder.  A reminder that congress is supposed to work for us.  The same American people they view with such disdain are, in actuality their employers.  Having said that, it is my opinion that it is time to issue wholesale ‘pink slips’.

The entire political machine in Washington has become so corrupt they no longer care about those that put them there.  Yes, there are a precious few that still want to do something good with the trust the people have placed in them.  By firing the others, these may well wake up and be encouraged work as we expect them to.  I fear, however,  these are very few, and very far between.

I’ve made this statement to co-workers and the reply is nearly always the same, “Are you kidding, that will take years.”  No, actually we could turn over the entire government in only six years if we made the effort.

It will surprise some, that in November 2010, the ENTIRE House of Representatives will go up for reelection.  That’s right, all 435 of them, including ‘her majesty’ Nancy Pelosi.  In the same election, 1/3 of the Senate will also be running.   No not for their lives, but for their jobs at least.  The whole point is that we have the chance in 2010 we can “change it back”.

No, I don’t mean “change it back” to the same old business as usual politics we have had for so long.  If the American people will get of their armchairs and vote the way they know they should, we can send the right people to do the right jobs, and you can be sure that those we leave in office will be happy to teach them the PROPER way to serve their country in fear of the next elections.

What is will take, though, is us getting off our backsides, and getting involved.  Find out who the ‘good guys’ are in your area.  Help them in their campaigns.  Get out and get other voters (legally) to the polls on election day.  Write letters and e-mails, make phone calls, what ever it takes to find and promote the young blood this country needs to get her back on track.

The only way we will ever get our country back is to get rid of the infestation we have allowed to take over Washington.  This means both parties too.  Send the message to the lot of them.  We have had enough.  There’s the message, We Have Had Enough.  Your FIRED!!

Ask your friend if he wants me to send you the file I have on Obama’s Department of homeland security planning team,which clearly shows Nidal Hassan the one and the same Fort Hood terrorist. Appointed to this planning team. It was reported that he had many contacts with unknown persons in Afghanistan. Before he went on his rampage.

Subject: FW: Jareed Jaffer – National Security Czar

Date: Tuesday, December 15, 2009, 7:48 AM
This was sent to me by a close family friend. Who is watching the hen house?
I’m doing a lot of research into Obama’s Czars. I found this today and wanted to share it…
Jameel Jaffer -National Security Czar, who runs the ACLU’s “National Security Project,” attended the White House Ramadan dinner last week. Jaffer, a Canadian citizen, attended the dinner, which President Obama said was being held for American Muslims.
The following is an AP press release: Dearborn–March 22–CAIR Michigan had a successful meeting, pulling in $130,000 of an aimed-for $150,000 Sunday afternoon at the Islamic Center of America this past weekend. Keynote speaker was Jameel Jaffer, Esq. (ACLU National Litigator and Director of National Security Programs). CAIR awardee Michigan Rep Rashida Tlaib (D-12) also made a brief speech.
Jaffer is a cause célèbre to the far left for his career of litigating against the United States in support of terrorists and radical Islamists, and has proudly touted his awards from groups like CAIR.
He has also petitioned since January to move the prisoners from Guantanamo, and to have the 9/11 conspirators tried in the U.S. (Guess he got his wish) Did you catch the part about him being a Canadian citizen? He still is…and is in charge of the ACLU. He was born in London, Ontario and still claims citizenship in Canada.
Now the thing that struck me, was the Ramidan celebration. This was the “State Dinner” that got crashed and received so much coverage. Wonder why the mainstream media didn’t report that it was a Ramadan celbration? You know they had to know what it was.I guess it’s just one of those things that make ya go hmmmmmmmm……..
I sure feel a lot safer tonight knowing that we have a good National Security Czar keeping watch for us!

Another Nut like me. AARP,Can you hear us now?

From a Naval Aviator A Warning to all Americans

From Naval Aviator, Commander Jerry Wilson
We lived in California during the winters of 2007 and 2008. We became addicted to Fox News and watched O’Reilly and Hannity and Colmes every night. When we got back home, we upgraded our cable to get Fox.

I watched the Presidential campaign very closely. Initially because I thought the Democrats would nominate Hillary Clinton and then in astonishment when they chose an even more hard-left candidate. All of last year I told everyone I could that Obama was not a Democrat, he was a Marxist. He is far to the left of any European leader and even our far left party, the NDP.
I read Saul Alinsky when I was in the University. I studied Alinski and his writing carefully. When Bill Ayers and his idiot wife were bombing and killing people at random in the Weather Underground, and when Weather Underground and the Black Panthers were closely allied. I read David Horowitz’s account of changing from a Marxist to a conservative after seeing that the government was afraid to prosecute members of the Panthers for murdering his personal assistant. He suddenly understood the evil that Marxism really was. After the student radicals failed trying to create a Marxist revolution in the United States by violent means, they found and embraced Alinsky.
You would be wise to read Alinski’s “Rules for Radicals” because it outlines how Hillary and Obama planned to get into power, what they’ve begun since reaching that goal, and what they intend to do now that they’re on their way.
Socialism is not the correct descriptor for what Obama and his blindly following Democrats are doing. They are going to be much more far reaching than anything Sweden or other socialist countries have ever been able to do. Obama is following Alinsky’s plans, those set out in”Rules for Radicals” and his other writing. Sounds ridiculous? Read it yourself.
The Democrats are attempting to create one party rule in the U.S. and in achieving that, will create crisis after crisis by their own actions and use those crisis to nationalize the means of production in the U.S. You are in the middle of a far left socialist revolution and few in the U.S. can actually see it for what it truly is.

The U.S. is now on the path of financial destruction. The Constitution has been shredded and individual human rights are being trampled. In less than 8 months. Obama has used a recession to take over the two largest industries in the U.S.

He will debase the dollar and is on the road to creating an incredible energy shortage that will allow him and his Congress to take over the energy industry.

But by and large, I’m very afraid that by the 2010 elections the Democrats will have gerrymandered electoral districts to the point that it will be impossible for them to lose control of both houses of Congress.

The incredible increase in the money supply is going to create Zimbabwe and Venezuela style inflation, and with it, controls on the currency and the amount of money that can be taken out of the country.

I love America ; I cannot believe how the ignorance of the American public has created a situation where by they are going to lose their Republic and slip into an age of repression and tyranny.

I may be nuts, but so far I have been 100% in my predictions of what Obama was going to do because I merely had to look at “Rules for Radicals” to see what was coming next.

I read Glenn Beck’s book, “Common Sense” and in it re-read Thomas Paine’s pamphlet with the same name. I recommend the book.

When the storm finally hits (and it will), those of you who supported the Obama administration will be affected as well. It won’t just be us gun owners or Flat-Taxers, or Pro-Lifers that get hit. You’ll be right there next to us.

You all thought the Conservatives were right-wing nut cases. You know, all of us who believe in God, small government, the Second Amendment, and the Constitution of the USA , etc.

You thought you could just go back to sleep after the election was over.

In your world, America will continue as before. You’ll still have the same rights, the same nice house, the same big screen television. After all, your high school football team won and the other team lost. “Go team”! Even if you have bothered to look up from the daily grind since Nov 4th, you dismissed everything that has occurred as “politics as usual”; the same old stuff. And if you don’t look too closely, you won’t have to deal with what’s going on.

In the end, it’ll all be OK won’t it? Not this time.

There are a growing number of citizens in the USA that are ready to do whatever they can, to fight to shut down the government’s grab of personal freedom, it’s blatant abuse of the constitution, and it’s attempt to replace the American way of life with socialism.

You have to listen carefully to hear them, but they are there. I won’t start that fight, but when it goes down I will join it.

As for you, well… you’ll be shocked because you didn’t see it coming.

And eventually you’ll be saddened when you see that we have truly lost the way of life in which you grew up. You’ll be saddened that your children and grandchildren live in a socialist, government-controlled gulag where their every movement from cradle to grave is controlled and tracked by the government.

But most of all, you’ll be saddened by the deaths of friends and relatives who are brave enough to fight and die for something they believe in.

You know, McCain wasn’t the candidate I wanted him to be. I’ll give you that.

He was the lesser of two evils for many Americans. I don’t blame you for not voting for him since, at the time, you didn’t know what we all know now. But at least John McCain was an American. He was a supporter of the American way of life and he, more than most, understood that you can’t negotiate with terrorists.

He understood and appreciated the sacrifice made by my father and other members of the Greatest Generation.

Mark my words friends. All across America groups are forming.

They are forming out of anger and out of desperation at the thought of losing America .

They’re not militia groups, terrorists as the Department of Homeland security would have you believe; they are Americans, loyal to the constitution. They are mothers and fathers and grandparents. They belong to groups like the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, the Peaceful Resistance, the Constitution Party, the Young Conservatives, the 9/12 Project, and Grassfire. Right now they are fragmented, each focused on their own cause and following their own path.

But sometime in the next two years, our government is going to do something really stupid and these groups will come together. Watch for it, wait for it. Get ready. It will happen.

When that event happens, whatever “it” is, our great country is going to plunge into chaos for a while. I pray to God that we make it through that time and emerge a stronger, smarter country.

Naval Aviator, Commander Jerry Wilson

ALL AMERICANS THAT WISH AMERICA

This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The author of this email is purported to be Dr. Emanuel Tanay, a well known and well respected psychiatrist.

A German’s View on Islam

A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. “Very few people were true Nazis,” he said, “but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.”

We are told again and again by “experts” and “talking heads” that Islam is the religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish
the spectra of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor- kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

The hard quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the “silent majority,” is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority was irrelevant. China ’s huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

And, who can forget Rwanda , which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were “peace loving”?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don’t speak up, because like my friend from Germany ,
they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.

As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts; the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on, is contributing to the passivity that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, world wide, read this and think about it, and send it on – before
it’s too late.

Emanuel Tanay, M.D.
Is this what you choose?

I would like to see a much more aggressive approach to reaching our goals. I keep reading posts which advocate quick and surprising activities. The founders new their would be bloodshed. Sooner or later people will begin to respond in kind. The administration is fostering a confrontation which no one will know who they enemy is. I say we look into the future and make a move. Be it a block or protect move. Once they get to that point they realize that we have already stop them. It is so clear that they are not going to stop. They are not going to Repent. They are in fact hell bent on FUNDEMENT TRANSFORMATION dream. We are not significant. Pull a plug. Flip a switch. Accidentally crash your server. Create ripples in the system. Be creative. Start the war now.

While I agree a message must be sent that they will listen to, it MUST be done through the ballot box. This is the one thing that makes us different from the terrorists we are fighting as we speak. We have a system in this country that, whether they will admit it or not, is the envy of the world. As much as I want every one of them to be ‘fired’ it must be in a peacful and lawful manor or we are not better then the terrorists. There is little they can do that cannot be undone after the 2010 elections. That needs to be the focus. We must elect a strong enough majority that the Liberals have no say, nor does the President. That’s how we get things done.

Agreed! While paitence is a virtue. I am certain they will employ the same dirty tactics as before. Creatures of habit and all that. I simply advocate winning. In order to do that you must hit your opponent first. Always held hope for your line of thinking and still believe in it. I am however attempting to cause them as much grief now as I can. Keep them busy if you will. I want them as distracted as possible until the opportunity comes to use that vote. Meanwhile as always preparing for the worst. I find great comfort knowing that there are folks who are prepared to do the dirty work. As a former military person, I understand all to well what needs done, at that point and, how ugly it is.

What AARP and SEIU does not notice.
Chuck

“WE NOTICED”

President Obama:

Today I read of your administrations’ plan to  re-define September
11 as a National Service Day. Sir, it’s time we had a talk………

During your campaign, Americans watched as you  made mockery of our
tradition of standing and crossing your  heart when the Pledge of
Allegiance was spoken. You, out of four people on the stage, were
the only one  not honoring our tradition.

YES, “We noticed.”

During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say that  you
intended to visit all 57 states.
We all know that Islam, not America has 57  states.

YES, “We noticed.”

When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently  placed a
flower on the memorial, while you nonchalantly  tossed your flower
onto the pile without leaning  over.

YES, “We noticed.”

Every time you apologized to other countries for America  ’s
position on an issue we have wondered why you don’t share our  pride
in this great country. When you have heard foreign leaders  berate
our country and our beliefs, you have not defended us. In  fact, you
insulted the British Crown beyond belief.

YES, “We noticed.”

When your pastor of 20 years, “God-damned America ” and said  that
9/11 was ” America ’s chickens coming home to roost”  and you denied
having heard recriminations of that nature, we  wondered how that
could be. You later disassociated yourself  from that church and
Pastor Wright because it was politically  expedient to do so.

YES, “We noticed.”

When you announced that you would transform America ,  we wondered
why. With all her faults, America is the  greatest country on earth.
Sir, KEEP THIS IN MIND, “if not for   America and the people who
built her, you wouldn’t be sitting in  the White House now.” Prior
to your election to the highest  office in this Country, you were a
senator from Illinois and  from what we can glean from the records
available, not a very  remarkable one.

YES, “We noticed.”

All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded
yourself with individuals who are basically unqualified for  the
positions for which you appointed them. Worse than that, the
majority of them are people who, like you, bear no special
allegiance, respect, or affection for this country and her
traditions.

YES, “We noticed.”

You are 9 months into your term and every morning millions  of
Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on us by you. You seek  to
saddle working Americans with a health care/insurance  reform
package that, along with cap and trade, will bankrupt  this nation.

YES, “We noticed.”

We seek, by protesting,  to let our representatives know that we are
not in favor of  these crippling expenditures and we are  labeled
“un-American”,”racist”, “mob”. We wonder how we are supposed  to let
you know how frustrated we are. You have attempted to  make our
protests seem isolated and insignificant. Until  your appointment,
Americans had the right to speak  out.

YES, “We noticed.”

On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans  or Democrats, only
Americans. And we all grieved together and  helped each other in
whatever way we could. The attack on 9/11  was carried out because
we are Americans.

And YES, “We noticed.”

There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could
help unite this nation. In six months you have done  more to
destroy  this nation than the attack on 9/11. You have  failed us.

YES, “We noticed.”

September 11 is a day of remembrance for all  Americans. You propose
to make 9/11 a “National Service Day”.  While we know that you
don’t  share our reverence for 9/11, we  pray that history will
report your  proposal as what it is…a  disgrace.

YES, “We noticed.”

You have made a mockery of  our Constitution and the office that you
hold. You have  embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits  and
policy.

YES, “We noticed..”

We have noticed all these things. We will deal with you. When
Americans come together again, it will be to remove  you from office.

Take notice.

I totally agree it is time to get most of them out of office. We are going to have one heck of a fight on our hands since Obama has his chosen few that he will throw his weight behind to try to keep them in office. What I have found to be most effective with the people I talk with – when they tell me they are too busy or their vote doesn’t count, I then ask about their parents and talk with them about the effects the healthcare bill alone will have on their parents. That seems to get their attention. Obama is quietly slipping legislation through that is affecting the sports fishermen and that has angered many in our area. There has to be some way to expose him for what he is – a Muslim who hates this country and is out to destroy it. Since he is not 100 per cent sure of re election, he will do so major damage in this first four years where the citizens and constitution is concerned. But whoever is backing him will really work to get him back in office. It is up to us to use what he is doing to destroy this country to help defeat him.

Sherrill, this is why we must wake up every single person that wants to live free. They must understand that these people that have been elected by the ‘I wants’ of this country must be removed. Not just including, but especially, their focal point, BHO. He is a poster boy. He does not have the personal ability to run an electric train, let alone our country. If we remove his puppeteers and cut the strings you’ll fine he’s not a real boy after all.

As you point out, however, it must be soon. He cannot be given two terms like Slick Willie. Clinton was just a sleeze. This guy is dangerous to our way of life.

It is a great thing to see Americans waking up to the TRUTH. I want to share a letter I sent to one of my friends with you.
Is this true? Nidal Hassan the Fort Hood terrorist on the Homeland Security team. Page 29 of the attached document lists his name and idicates his duty station. Now do we see that this administration is tied to the terrorists that want the US destroyed? Fundamental Transformation is equal to Conversion. Conversion to Islam, in this case. What exactly is the CIA and FBI doing?

We can fire everybody and start over, but whats to say we don’t end up with the same mess? As I see it, the party is splintered and communication between the party and it’s members is almost non-existent. Maybe we need to start coming up with solutions on how to take our party back?

We also need to reach those under 40, how many times do you hear from this age group the following:

1) I don’t follow politics
2) I’m not interested in politics
3) I don’t have time and my one vote doesn’t count
4) Politics have no effect on me!
5) I’m to busy raising my family, working and just don’t have time to get involved

On a few occasions I have had the opportunity to talk to people like this and when I started pointing out how the government effects all parts of their lives, and gave them examples … they started looking at it a little different.

Maybe we need a series of articles on how to explain to people the many ways their lives are affected and sometimes changed forever because of decisions made by a hand full of politicians.

Sandy this is the point of Firing Congress. First, we need to take back the House and Senate, then in 2012 we need to get rid of the admisistration and bring in a President that actually loves this country as it was intended to be from the start.

Your right, though, the only way this can be done is to wake up whas is called Generation-X. Those in the 30 – 45 age bracket. This is where the future of our country’s will leaders will come from. Wake them up to what the present members of government have done to us.

Once again Napalitano demonstrates her genius by issuing a statement saying the system worked! I say we all call for her termination for incompentence. The system as it turns out was a Dutch film director who had the courage to act quickly. This one man saved 200 plus alone. This does not endorse the NEW dept of homeland security. Actually the opposite is the truth. Obama playing golf ,Napalitano is spewing worthless garbage.The Dem on Fox this am stating that we are going to hold hearings to find out what went wrong. They are what went wrong. If success is the goal. You would want to surround yourself with the most qualifed and brightest talent you can find. This is obviously not the goal. In business the DOO would most likely be fired.
Stay vigilant my friends.

I agree completely Darlene, but she is not alone by any means. There are dozens in the House and the Senate, not to mention the White House, that could care less about what We The People, their employers, expect of them. They will do what they want until we do something about it.
