Who Am I?

I am a Christian. I am a high school history teacher in a very small town in Oklahoma. I am a conservative Republican. I love America and I am concerned about the direction our country is taking. I am not anyone special, and I certainly don't claim to be an expert on any political issue being considered in Washington, D.C. However, I do expect my elected officials to do the job they were elected to do...and that is to represent their constituents. "I" am not a moron as those in D.C. obviously believe that "I" am. I am beginning to understand our president's connections with SIEU, ACORN, the APOLLO foundaton. I can connect the dots. I can understand when our president says ACORN is going to help him set up the agenda for his presidency, and then when he says that he didn't know that ACORN received federal funds! GIVE ME A BREAK PRESIDENT OBAMA! The American people are not as gullible as you had hoped they'd be.

And what about Van Jones? No one wants to talk about him, but he has never kept secret his own personal convictions and agenda! America...wake up! During the 2008 campaign, President Obama said that we can get to know him by looking at the people with whom he surrounds himself. Well, Mr. Obama, I'm looking, and I'm not liking what I'm seeing. In fact, it scares me to think that a self-avowed communist, Marxist revolutionary has your ear. Oh I know...he resigned...but don't think for one moment that I believe he isn't still influencing your decisions.

And what about ACORN? Are there no liberals or "mainstream" news organizations (oops...I just used a redundancy in that sentence) who have a problem with underage illegals being smuggled into our country to be prostitutes? And not only that, but having it done with taxpayer dollars?! Come on!

I take very seriously the first three words of our Constitution...."We the People". The people are supposed to be the driving force of this country...it's what has set us apart over the last 220 years...but in the last few years (and not just during President Obama's administration, to be fair) the politicians have displayed the attitude that "we the people" must answer to them...that they are to feared by us and not the other way around. Hey...they owe us answers. They owe us some straight talk. I am so tired of double-talk and rhetoric. I am tired of liberals who try to bully us into submission.

Have you ever tried to argue with a liberal? They get mad and act like two-year olds who don't get their way (and when they don't have anything valid to say, they bumble around and start blaming Bush). It's impossible to make a valid point with them. I've got to say that I'm looking forward to reading Glen Beck's new book "Arguing with Idiots" so that I can be prepared to have a conversation with those who actually believe that socialism isn't such a bad thing...with those who actually believe that Hugo Chavez led a nice little revolution in Venezuela! Oh? Would that be the same Hugo Chavez that has very recently shut down independent media outlets in his country? People...wake up! If the liberals have their way, that is exactly what will happen here! It will happen slowly...while we're asleep...and one day we'll wake up and think we've been transported to Cuba or the Soviet Union...and then it will be too late. Ask yourself this question: why are liberals so enamored with the lifestyles in those types of countries? Surely they must understand the harsh realities of living in a country where even their liberal ideas will no longer be heard. The only voice that is heard in those places is the voice of the government. Government-ran newspapers...broadcast news...libraries...and so on and so on. The militaries in those countries are not servants of the population, but of the government. Hey...Fidel Castro was very popular AT FIRST! Not so now...but by the time the Cubans figured it out...it was too late. It is so important that we understand these basic truths.

America is not perfect. I know that. I'm not a blind patriot. But I also know that socialism and communism are not the answers to our problems. If we don't get involved and start demanding answers and accountability from Washington then we will get what we deserve, and that is NO POLITICAL VOICE AT ALL.
