The United States of America is a nation under God, where each person, regardless of race, religion or classification of wealth has the opportunity to not only life but a life of freedoms, Liberties and the pursuit of happiness. Each person is afforded a basic right to an education free of charge and the opportunity to extend that education. If they so choose to take on the responsibilities that come with an extended education they will be vowing to become the greatest teachers, doctors, scientists, lawyers and so many other professionals that the world has ever seen.
Some may say that the American people are a “decent people” however I say and with the greatest pride that we, the American people have always been and will forever be the greatest collection of people on earth. The American People are an example of a civilization based on freedoms, liberties and equal rights that the rest of the world looks at and wishes that they may one day achieve all that we have accomplished as a whole throughout our very brief history.
The United States of America has always been the greatest nation in the world and we will forever be the Greatest Nation. Like a child has made mistakes so too have we and like that child we have learned from our mistakes. We have atoned for the mistakes we made so long ago by our ancestors by amending our constitution. We have in law expressed that those injustices will never be made again. I believe that each and every American will stand here with me today and agree that every citizen of our great nation has the same opportunities, the same challenges and most importantly the same basic rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness that our constitution provides to us.
We as collective group of people must agree that regardless of the color of our skin or the religion we are born into or choose to believe in that we must all be held to the same standards and that those standards may never be set so low that by simply doing the minimum that they will be achieved. Let us push our future generations to become a better generation than we have been. Let us believe that lives lost in order to protect and defend our constitution, our basic rights and our liberties have not been lost in vein.
In the words of John Fitzgerald Kennedy “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.” These words speak volumes of the greatness that comes with freedom and every American today should ask themselves nothing less. No matter if you are ten or one hundred years of age you possess something that we your fellow citizens may learn from. With our basic rights comes a great deal of responsibility and that responsibility must be passed on to future generations. Our children and our children’s children must never allow future generations to forget what so many lives of past generations have died so selflessly to give to us.
In the words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt “There is nothing to fear but fear itself” these words are to be embraced by every one of us. These words may only be words however when spoken together they have a great deal of meaning. We must not fear those who wish to harm us, they only wish to harm us because they hate that we are free and not under tyrannical rule like so many other nations. We are a free and sovereign nation, we are a nation founded on basic laws and those laws based on all things correct and incorrect.
Calvin Coolidge stated that "Patriotism is easy to understand in America; it means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country." What does this mean for the American People? It means that by looking out for the basic principles that our nation was founded on and by allowing them to prevail we will always be as strong as possible. It also means that as Patriots we will not allow government to get to the point where it will take too much control and ruin what freedoms and rights we now have.
Abraham Lincoln so eloquently stated that "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." We must stand strong together defend our constitution, our freedoms and our rights. If we allow these basic principles to be stripped from us we lose our way and we will lose our free republic as we know it today.
In the words of Richard Nixon "We must always remember that America is a great nation today not because of what government did for people but because of what people did for themselves and for one another." What did he mean by this you may ask? He meant that no government has ever given anything to us and that what we have had we had to get it on our own. It also means that we the people of the United States of America must never allow our government to tell us how to live our lives and that our basic morals and principles will forever take us down the right path.
Thomas Jefferson once stated "My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!" These words ring true today and many Americans have forgotten what makes this country what it is. The citizens of America must take a step back and revisit the foundation of our nation. They must remember that our forefathers fought for our freedoms and later Lincoln’s men fought so that we may truly be equal.
Hubert H. Humphrey stated that "What we need are critical lovers of America - patriots who express their faith in their country by working to improve it." Working to improve our nation and not destroying it by turning it into Europe which is overrun by socialist governments which have always proven to become communist states. We have never been Socialists or Communists nor will we ever be either of them. Those beliefs are not welcome here in our United States and we will forever be a free nation where capitalists will always be the greatest gifts we ever be given.
The document that is the foundation of our free republic gives us all the rights to freedoms of speech, religion, and self defense. Our constitution also provides that government shall pass no laws infringing on those basic rights. Our Constitution also states that each state shall be free to govern itself independently and that while a federal government is a necessary evil it is necessary to keep our states unified and in order to protect our homeland, our freedoms, our lives and our liberties from all enemies both foreign and domestic. The federal government does not have a right to impose a tax upon the citizens of our free nation in order to take from some and give too many for the sole purpose of the greater good.
I call for government to revert back to the basic principles which our nation was founded upon by eliminating the Internal Revenue Service, the temporary Federal Income Tax, The Federal Reserve and return our currency to the gold standard. I call for each American Citizen to take responsibility for one’s actions and to strive to be the best that you can be and nothing less. We all live in this country and we all have the opportunity to do anything we put our minds to and to you the person who feels that they may not be good enough or strong enough to get to where you want to be, I know what that’s like because I too have been where you now are.
To my fellow American Citizens together we are the greatest people, the greatest nation and the greatest example of what freedom is all about. Collectively we will forever be what we are today so long as we stand our moral ground and strive to be the best we can possibly be. Charity is something that comes from the heart and gives a feeling of greatness to oneself in any possible way so long as it comes from the heart. Charity is not something to be forced upon us by government because a nation with big government is a nation with big taxes and with big taxes come oppression, lost opportunities and a feeling of imprisonment.
In closing I ask that we stand strong together and never allow our family, our friends, our neighbors, or any of our fellow citizens to ever feel that they are not as good as you or I. I ask that you believe in all that is right and in all that is fair to each other and that our justice system simply do what it was intended to do which is not to make law but to uphold it. I ask that you have faith in and allow capitalism to take us to places and provide us with riches the world has never seen. Believe in your hearts that we are the greatest nation in the history of the world and that no person, no government, and no military will ever take that away from us!
God Bless you all, God bless the freedoms and rights provided to us, God bless the Constitution, the Flag of the United States and all that makes us exactly what we are, The greatest nation on Earth. We are Patriots today, we will be Patriots tomorrow and we will forever be Americans so long as we remember the basic principles our free republic were founded on and we keep those principles alive forever.

An Open Letter To The President
"Mr. Obama,
With the average person like myself struggling financially in today's financial world why do you feel that giving corrupt organizations like ACORN billions of dollars? Nationalizing Health care? Violating our rights as citizens of this country by giving to those that are not? And Finally Infringing on the rights of states to govern themselves will stimulate the economy?
Instead, why don't you take the money of the two proposed bailout bills and divide it up equally among each American tax paying citizen? It would amount to approximately $175,000 (TAX FREE) per tax payer this would allow citizens to either pay off debt, purchase a new car or pay down or put a hefty down payment on a home so that they could have a reasonable mortgage payment?
By doing this it would have a direct effect on the economy by allowing the banks to free up funds that are currently tied up by debts currently in the system and possibly affording individuals the opportunity to start up a new small business which in itself would create countless new jobs.
Something else that would stimulate the economy almost immediately would be the removal of all national taxes and implementing a reasonable national sales tax applied to anything not considered a necessity. This in turn would force illegal aliens to pay into the system they are currently stealing from! It would also cut government jobs and eliminate the IRS which truly is an unconstitutional government operation.
Oh yeah and one more thing... Eliminate the Federal Reserve as well because that really is a complete joke and bring back the gold standard for our currency. While your at it break up big national banks and utility companies and force them to allow competition in their markets this will also help to stimulate the economy.
Thank you,

What Have The Banks In This Country Come To?
The other day I received a refund check from something I decided not to persue and went to the bank to cash it and you will be appaled by what I experienced. Now to start to pave the way for the rest of the story, I used to work at a bank and we were told that as long as the check was from one of our accounts, the funds were available and we felt as though it wasn't fraud to go ahead and cash the check.
Now here it comes, are you ready? I walked into the bank, check and license in hand, the check was signed and I approached the teller. I will give you the play by play below:
Me: Hello I would like to please cash this check.
Teller: Do you have an account with us?
Me: I do not bank here
Teller: Oh ok, well there is a $6 fee to cash this check and we need your thumb print on the check as well.
Me: That is unacceptable, the check is drawn on an account from your bank, the check is signed and you have my license, that is enough to cash the check and I refuse to pay a fee.
Teller: Well you can talk to the manager then.
So I wait 10 minutes to talk with the bank manager and get the same response from her. I just don't get it. Why should I have to pay a fee to cash a check and more so put my thumb imprint on the check!
This is absolutely unacceptable and the reason I will never bank with the communist controlled bank named BANL OF AMERICA!

patriotic Quotes Part 1
"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men." ~Samuel Adams

Hopey Pocket Change
So yet again we have been duped by a left winged politician what else is new? For a man that ran a campaign based on "HOPE" and "CHANGE" the only hope we have is that the truth comes out about all the tax cheats that he nominates for his cabinet and the only change is that this radical will potentially turn this country into a wasteland if he isn't stopped.
Why can't our politicians for once just put parties aside and do what is right for this country? If democrats want republicans to agree to their "stimulus bill" then why did they put so much pork in it? They did it because as usual they want to pad their pockets and those of their friends before taking care of their country's needs.
What we need is not a massive amount of inflation we need tax cuts and lowered government involvement in our lives. Lets face it if we want an economy that is prosperous we need to lower taxes and then charge a "Fair Tax." www.fairtax.org will provide you with every reason why this needs to happen!
