What Superhero am I, anyway?










You Scored as William Wallace

The great Scottish warrior William Wallace led his people against their English oppressors in a campaign that won independence for Scotland and immortalized him in the hearts of his countrymen. With his warrior's heart, tactician's mind, and poet's soul, Wallace was a brilliant leader. He just wanted to live a simple life on his farm, but he gave it up to help his country in its time of need.

Denver Tea Party- some thoughts

A small but important start in the long battle to take this country back.

The vast majority of attendees, as shown by raised hands, were Republicans, Libertarians and Constitutionalists. There were, however, a few who identified themselves as Democrats or other liberals... and that's the main point. This really isn't a Democrat vs Republican or Conservative vs Liberal issue. The issue is whether our elected representatives listen to their constituents after election day.















Nancy Pelosi admits that the constituents who contacted her office, presumably mostly liberal constituents, regarding the first bailout were about 8:1 AGAINST the bill but she voted for it anyway because we little people don't understand the "big picture". Other legislators on both sides of the isle reported similar contacts from their constituents, including those here in Colorado. Eventually both sides voted FOR the bill and it passed.
















Communications from constituents to elected representatives have continued to be against the various spending, recovery and "stimulus" bills... yet both sides of the isle keep voting for them.
















Our form of government is a Republic. We elect legislators to make daily decisions for us that we can't be bothered to make for ourselves. Whether this is efficiency or laziness is another discussion. The fact is that this is our form of government as set down in that sacred document: the Constitution of the United States of America. HOWEVER, when an elected official's constituency screams so overwhelmingly for that official to do or not do something, one would think they would take that into account. It's OUR money they're spending, OUR country they are bankrupting, OUR children they are obligating... but no. They know better than we do.

All I know is that I can't borrow my way to success, to prosperity.

In the United Stated the power to govern derives SOLELY from the will of the people. We need to exercise that will and take our country back.
