July Rants 2010
The Daily Rant 7-31-2010
Have we come this far for nothing?
Many of you, as you reach for the delete button, are asking who is this person and why are they emailing me? The answer is no one and nobody, just another face in the crowd, just another angry American who feels betrayed by their government. I ask only that your grant me a moment of your time before sending me to the recycle bin.
The time has come my friends to put aside the infighting, put aside our disagreements, put aside those things that divide us and join forces. The staggering problems we face, the threats to our freedom and our nation, are bigger than any one group or individual. I appeal to each of you; bury the harsh words that may have been said, move past yesterday’s mistakes and learn from them. It’s time to get back to the basic principals that spawned this Tea Party Movement in the first place.
Stop for a minute and remember the feeling you had on April 15th 2009; remember that day when nearly 1,000 Tea Parties were held from coast-to-coast all across this great land - we were united. Remember the energy of the crowd, remember the unity of purpose - remember that feeling of I AM NOT ALONE! Now fast-forward to September 12th 2009, remember the feeling of pride and even hope? Remember the sights and sounds of 2 million people marching on our nation’s capital, again supported by hundreds of local Tea Parties all across the country. Reflect on that day for a moment and remember what it meant to you personally.
So what happened; where is that ‘angry mob’ now? Face it; some of us are simply worn out. It has been a long and frustrating fight. Please don’t misunderstand; many have been working hard for conservative candidates - holding forums, debates, and meet and greets. Many Americans have continued to work tirelessly; writing, calling, emailing and petitioning their elected leaders. However, I fear that many who were once among us have now faded into the background due to frustration, fatigue or even as the result of some disagreement. With the elections so close at hand, with so much at stake, can we really afford to lose our momentum? Can we afford to let anything divide us?
Freedom Works along with the Tea Party Patriots and other groups recently announced another March on Washington scheduled for September 12th. Soon after this announcement similar rallies were announced for Sacramento and St Louis, but what about the rest of the country? Where are the rest of the rallies? It’s been said that the rallies don’t really accomplish anything, but I would have to argue that they bring attention to movement and help bring new people to the fight. These rallies give us the opportunity to clarify our message as well as network with other like-minded individuals.
I am asking each of you to once again rise up and hold Tea Parties across this State and across the Country; let’s all unite again for one last massive show of force before the November elections. Let’s remind America that the Tea Party is not only alive and well, but growing bigger and more powerful everyday. Remind the Liberals that their days are numbered. Let Washington know that despite their vicious attacks, WE ARE HERE TO STAY!
On September 12th I will carry my flag to the steps of Legislative Plaza in Nashville TN; the only question is whether I’ll be standing there alone.
It’s been said that controlling conservatives is like herding cats; frustrating and pointless. The Daily Rant 7-30-2010 Government gone Rogue
A Federal Judge has ruled that the State of AZ does not have the right to protect itself from illegal invaders. The EPA has officially rejected all challenges to its ruling, based on falsified information, that greenhouse gases are a threat to the public health. And White House Spokesman and complete buffoon Robert Gibbs spends his time attacking Rush Limbaugh again. The Federal Government officially has gone rogue.
Where in this disaster, that is our current government, is the voice of the people? The People clearly support the AZ Law, the Regime doesn’t care. They refuse to enforce our laws, refuse to seal the border; they refuse to protect the lawful citizens of this country; isn’t this dereliction of duty? Isn’t the primary role of Government to protect the nation?
The People aren’t buying into this Global Warming garbage anymore, the Regime doesn’t care. In the face of opposition to Cap & Trade, the EPA simply went around Congress and imposed the rules anyway. They are going to jam new regulations down the throats of American businesses raising energy costs and killing even more jobs. Don’t like it – too bad! Tell me how massive new regulations on everything will help businesses grow and create jobs? The People want jobs – the Regime pays lip service to the issue and continues unabated with their disastrous agenda.
The Regime is failing on every issue, so in following Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, they distract you by attacking their opposition - conservatives. Frankly I’m surprised that they haven’t called Limbaugh a racist, yet (or did they?). Do you ever remember a sitting President attacking a News Channel (Fox News) or talk radio personalities (Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, etc) directly? Considering the disastrous condition of our economy, you would think they would have something better to do. This corrupt Administration, this collection of liars and thieves, simply has an answer for everything. Reports show that the economy is slowing not growing; answer, attack Limbaugh! Grass roots conservatives, known as the Tea Party, publicly oppose the Regime’s policies; answer, label them racists and terrorists. The Presidents poll numbers are tanking because of his radical economy crushing policies; answer, go on tour touting the ‘Summer of Recovery’ and hang out with the girls on the View. Americans are struggling to pay their bills and 15 million remain out of work; answer, play more golf, go on vacation, and prance around the world stage so we ‘little people’ can worship at the feet of the Obama Royal Family.
If you’re ok with what’s going on in the Country; fine, just sit at home watching American Idol. If you’re ok with living the rest of your life dependent on the mercy of the liberals in Washington, just remain on the sidelines and wait for someone else to ‘fix’ things. If you want to watch this Country sink to third world status, just sit at home on Election Day - again. As for me; I choose to fight back.
If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention. The Daily Rant 7-29-2010
Inclusion?
You may have read that a student at Augusta State University has sued the school to keep from getting expelled. Why is this young lady in danger of being expelled; lying, cheating, drugs, violent behavior, terrorist threats? Oh no, it’s much more serious than that; this woman had the audacity to express her dangerous Christian views of homosexuality! Can you believe it?!?! Can you believe she actually had to gall to openly oppose homosexual behavior?
Augusta State University believes that her bias against homosexuality clearly disqualifies her from being a career counselor and therefore justifies expulsion from their fine institution. Stop and think about that for a minute; you can be expelled from College for your opinion? If this actually stands and she loses her lawsuit, what’s next? Could you be barred from going to college if you hold ‘controversial’ views? Could you possibly be disqualified from applying for a job (or keeping your job) just because you hold Conservative Christian values? Do you now understand that this great liberal policy of inclusion includes everyone except Conservatives? Gays, Transsexuals, Gender Confused, he-she’s, she-he’s, atheists, Muslims, Marxists, murderers, rapists, pedophiles, street bums, crack addicts, tax cheats, and all other brain damaged individuals – come on in! You Christians stop right there, you closed minded conservatives are no longer welcome here! Get out!
One final thought for you to ponder: Insurance companies are charging increasingly higher rates for smokers because they are engaging in a high risk behavior, so why don’t gay men pay higher rates as well? Gay men are at risk of a wide range of medical problems because they engage in high risk behavior, so why don’t they pay higher rates for health insurance? If you own a motorcycle or enjoy skydiving, you will pay higher rates for Life Insurance, so why aren’t homosexuals subject to higher rates as well? Gain too much weight – higher rates. Don’t exercise enough – higher rates. Have sex with strange men you just met in at a ‘pride’ parade – no problem. Welcome to Obamanation.

Warning, you maybe offended.
I was born and raised here, by parents who were born and raised here; their parents and grand parents were also born and raised here. I have always worked hard; nights weekends, holidays – sometimes as many as three jobs. I pay my taxes; day in and day out, month after month, year after year – I don’t cheat, I pay on time, I pay a lot and I take very little. I have always paid my bills; never filed bankruptcy, taken welfare, public housing, food stamps or filed for unemployment. I love and care for the environment; I conserve energy and water (because it costs too much), I live in a forest, grow my own vegetables, and plant trees, flowers and shrubs. I am a straight Red Blooded American male; I find American women to be the most amazing, intelligent, interesting, incredible creation God ever made – I love women! I love my Country: I’m patriotic to the core; I love and believe in the Constitution, I believe in American exceptionalism, I honor and respect the flag, my eyes well up during the National Anthem, and I will fight and die for my Country if she calls. I believe in God; I see every leaf in the forest as proof of the Creator, I do my human best to be a good person, I try to deal fairly and honestly with everyone – I believe God created us all equal. So how does this make me an ignorant, racist, closed-minded bigot and homophobe? When did I become the bad guy? When did I become public enemy number one?
We all know the media is controlled by lefties and Hollywood freaks, but have you noticed lately how openly they are promoting their freakish agenda? Have you noticed that in almost every commercial you see, it’s the straight white guy who is portrayed as the idiot? Have you noticed that nearly every TV show betrays conservatives as old, out of touch bigots? Have you noticed that nearly every movie coming out of Hollywood contains at least one slam (usually a lot more) against conservatives? If you are normal – you are supposed to feel bad about it! These so called open minded liberals are using the media to promote anyone or anything that is vile and contemptible to normal people. They attack traditional marriage, religion, and other conservative values as old fashioned, closed-minded and ignorant while portraying same sex marriage, gay adoption, he-she’s, she-he’s, transsexuals, etc as mainstream. Andy Griffith has been replaced by Rosie O’Donnell and Old Yeller has been replaced with Brokeback Mountain - and we’re supposed to think that’s progress! If I am offended by any of their actions, then apparently I am just an ignorant, closed minded bigot? Did you see the Progressive Insurance commercial with the two gay guys (one wearing a rainbow flag shirt) shopping for insurance together? Am I weird if that bothers me? If you take your kid to Church you’re brainwashing them, but teaching them about homosexuality in the 2nd grade is responsible education? Teaching your kid to hunt or fish (responsibly) is now considered barbaric, but having them march in a gay rights parade is opening their horizons? When did this happen? How did we let this happen?
These so called open-minded liberals – these so-called intellectual elites – these vile bottom feeders that represent everything that is currently wrong with America do not deserve our attention, our support, and certainly not our money. Enough is enough; the liberals that control the media have gotten away with this garbage for far too long and it’s time to turn them off. Stop watching their shows, stop renting their DVDs and stop paying to see their movies. If you have Progressive Insurance, dump them and tell them why. If your kids are getting Sex Ed in grade school fire the School Board. Reject these attacks on American values and reject the sponsors who support them. Open your eyes to the effect these people are having on you and your family and reject them while you still can.

Headlines of the Future
Unemployment drops, DOW rises. President Christy’s Reconstruction program of across the board spending cuts and sweeping reductions in personal and corporate taxes seem to be paying off. The US economy continues to run full speed ahead as Monday’s unemployment report is expected to show the 9th consecutive drop in the nation’s unemployment rate. Wall Street, expecting a new rate of 3.0 – 3.1% closed the trading day higher for the 61st day in a row. The DOW closed up 112.05 at a new record high of 15350.61 with the S&P and NASDAC also closing higher. Asian and European markets are expected to surge overnight on the renewed strength of the US economy.
Russian’s sign new Arms Treaty The White House announced today that Secretary of State Schwarzkopf has successfully negotiated a new arms treaty with the Russians. This new treaty allows the US to retain and expand its current capabilities while the Russians have agreed to give up all weapons of mass destruction by 2016. This announcement comes as no surprise following the US Military action against Iran last week. Iran, as you know made good on its promise to attack Israel, and as a result suffered a harsh response from the Christy Administration. The Administration’s warning salvo of several hundred cruise missiles launched from Camp Victory in Iraq (also known as New Texas) has drawn harsh criticism from some Arab members of the now defunct UN. White House press secretary Glen Beck reportedly responded to the criticism by saying, “bite me!” As of this report, Iran remains covered in molten glass.
Taliban caught in a Squeeze Head of the Joint Chiefs Ralph Bristol, affectionately known to his men as ‘Sgt. Bristol,’ again demanded the unconditional surrender of the Taliban. The rag tag remains of the Taliban find themselves trapped between advancing US forces and neighboring countries unwilling to allow them safe passage for fear of reprisal. The Christy Administration’s massive surge of 75,000 additional US troops into Afghanistan, mated with a non-stop ground and aerial bombardment has forced the Taliban into a surrender or die situation. Unofficial reports claim Sgt. Bristol is in no mood for surrender.
Gore Lawyers Appeal Again Lawyers representing shamed former Vice President Al Gore submitted their 13th appeal for a new trial today. The High Court is expected to again reject Gore’s lawyers request due to the overwhelming evidence against him. Al Gore was convicted in 2011 on 179 counts of Fraud, Bribery, Racketeering, Perjury, and Treason. The well known ‘Global Warming’ alarmist and current record holder for the nation’s harshest jail sentence (3 thousand years at hard labor and an $8 Billion dollar fine) still maintains his claim of innocence. Gore remains on suicide watch.
Ramsey keeps slashing – Congress Approves Infamous White House Budget Director Dave Ramsey has yet again announced another round of sweeping budget cuts. With Welfare and Medicaid now eliminated, Director Ramsey has now turned his axe towards the Federal Government itself. Amid cries from the 11 remaining Democrats in Congress, Ramsey announced the elimination of the Dept. of Labor, Energy, Transportation, Education, and the sacred cow of liberals everywhere – the National Endowment for the Arts. Ramsey’s recommendations have already received strong support from the Congressional Tea Party Caucus and are expected to easily pass both the House and Senate later this week. Ramsey, in supporting Christy’s campaign promise, is expected to go after the IRS itself early next year by proposing a simplified tax system known as the Flat Tax.
Unions Fight for Survival The Teamsters Union today announced yet another blow to their sinking membership, as UPS workers voted to remove the once powerful Union as their labor representative. With the recent demise of the AFL-CIO and the SEIU, the once powerful Teamsters have been holding on by a thread hoping for a change in Washington. Teamster president Nancy Pelosi blamed their troubles on President Christy’s executive order banning union companies and their affiliates from State and Federal contracts. Pelosi in a statement released to the press said, “Something, something, Bush, blah blah blah, Bush, something, something.”
President Christy picks White House Pooch In breaking with tradition President Chris Christy has chosen Bo, the previous White House dog, as the new White House dog. It seems in their haste to flee the country, Barack & Michelle Obama neglected to take Bo along with them ( as well as their kids) leaving the world’s most famous dog without even basic food and water. Bo was rescued Feb. 20th by members of the new Administration and soon became a favorite of White House staffers. Christy, a well known animal lover soon grew fond of little Bo and decided that he, like the millions of others screwed by Obama, deserved a second chance at life. According to anonymous sources, the President and First Lady have ordered a larger bed to accommodate the new family member.
EPA Rules CO2 good for the Environment The EPA, now free from the grips of the Environmental wackos, has officially ruled that CO2 is not only NOT a pollutant, but actually good for crops, the Oceans, and the Rain Forest. EPA director and well known Global Warming skeptic Phil Valentine, much to the dismay of smelly tree huggers everywhere, made the controversial announcement at a press conference today. Unsubstantiated reports claim that Al Gore attempted to hang himself in his cell today. Former radio talk show host Phil Valentine soared to National fame in 2010 following the release of his movie “An Inconsistent Truth.”
Upcoming Midterm has remaining Dems Running for Cover. The upcoming election has many Dems (all 11) desperately trying to defend their failed policies while at the same time distancing themselves from former President, now fugitive, Barack Obama. New Democratic Party Leader Barney Frank claims his party’s chances are good (according to someone who claims to understand him despite his annoying lisp.) GOP Chairman Michael DelGiorno refuted Frank’s statement saying, “What is he drunk?” Readers who liked this article also enjoyed: Sweeping New Gun Law Takes Effect Homeland Security has its marching orders – Find Obama

The Daily Rant 7-17-2010 It gets stranger by the minute.
Please be honest, is it just me, or has our Country just gone completely nuts? Maybe I’ve been doing this too long, but every morning I shake my head in disbelief at the utter madness I find in the news. Did I just read that Pseudo-President Obama has appointed his personal chef as Health Food Czar? Really?!?! A 20 something cook, from Chicago of course, now a high level White House advisor? What’s next, let’s see, oh yea – cop stops kids from praying outside the Supreme Court. Huh, the Nation founded on the rights endowed by our Creator now bans school children from praying on the grounds of the Supreme Court? I thought the Supreme Court was supposed to protect our rights? Were these kids really a threat to peace and security; were they going to cause riots and mayhem, were their prayers disrupting the economic recovery, did someone spill a juice box? Is it just me? It’s OK to build a Mosque next to ground zero, but those kids praying on public land are clearly a threat!
Let’s see, they vote to regulate businesses that had nothing to do with the economic crisis, but approve endless bailouts for Fannie & Freddie. Obama tells Americans to vacation in the Gulf, and then he vacations in Maine? He spends money like a drunken sailor (no offense to drunken sailors) then blames the Bush tax cuts for the deficit? Oh yea, it was the tax cuts – that’s it! You know, those evil tax cuts of 2001 & 2003 that sent the economy soaring, we better get rid of them now to save the economy! Welcome to the ‘summer of recovery!’ And just how is it that they claim letting these tax cuts ‘expire’ isn’t a tax increase? You just can’t make this stuff up folks! Oh and we’re not going to ration healthcare, but everyone in America will have their ‘Obesity Index’ reported to the Federal Government by 2014. Gee, now why would they need that? Is it just me or do the headlines these days read more like the National Inquirer than the Associated Press?
One last note of interest, Joe “open mouth insert foot” Biden came to Nashville yesterday, yea we’re all thrilled. So why did old Anchor Joe bless us with his presence? Why would Joe take time out of his busy schedule to visit a State that he and Barack will never win? Well there was a Dem fundraiser of course, but as you probably know they can’t just fly around the Country campaigning on the taxpayer dime – they have to have an “official” reason for a visit. So what was Joe’s official reason you ask, to observe the flood damage of course! For those of you who may not know, the flood was 2 ½ months ago! Nothing to see here Joe! Unbelievable. Maybe it’s all a bad dream, either way I’m going back to bed. Derrick The Daily Rant 7-16-2010
Where is the Tea Party?
Where are the rallies; where are the signs, speakers and protests? Has the Tea Party faded away? With the November elections drawing near shouldn’t the Tea Parties be out in force? Well, despite the desires of the left, the Tea Parties are alive and well and working the campaigns. The Tea Party has recently switched into campaign mode and is fielding and supporting conservative candidates from coast to coast. The Tea Party has worked and is working to throw out liberals and RINO’s alike and replace them with true conservatives who might actually represent us and turn this country around. Face it people, we can make all the noise we want, but unless we replace these clowns nothing will change. The recent attack on the Tea Party by the NAACP is proof positive of how much the left fears us and how much influence we are having on the issues and the candidates. Remember, the closer you get to the target, the more flak you catch.
Now, for those of you (myself included), who miss attending the rallies and the opportunity to meet with likeminded conservatives there are rallies in the works. Several large groups including Freedom Works are organizing another march on Washington on September 12th. I would encourage everyone who possibly can to attend and remind Washington who they work for. I would love to see rallies again from coast to coast on Sept. 12th as a show of strength, unity, and determination as a run-up to the biggest Tea Party of all – Election Day November 2nd.
Tea Party Organizers, if you are planning a rally on Sept. 12th, let me know I’d love to join you, if not please consider doing so. Let’s remind America that the Tea Parties are alive and well – we are everywhere!
Thanks to all of you, we will win in 2010! God bless, Derrick
The Daily Rant 7-14-2010 Meet the White House Enforcers
They publicly threaten the Tea Party. They openly threaten conservatives everywhere. They praise Osama Bin Laden as a great leader. They are calling for black men to arm themselves against white cops. They call for the slaughter of white children. They blocked whites from voting in the 2008 election. They are under the protection of the US Department of Justice and by proxy under the protection of the White House. Meet the White House enforcers; meet the New Black Panther Party. Understand; these anti-American terrorists were ready to be sentenced for voter intimidation when Eric Holder stepped in. Eric Holder, who has a history of releasing terrorists (see the FALN), protected these monsters who threaten your right to vote. Why would Obama’s hand-picked Head of the Justice Dept. protect domestic terrorists; simple – they are doing his work for him. Just a side thought; if you have forgotten, during the 2008 campaign Obama called for a Civilian Defense Force as strong and as well funded as the military. We all wondered what the heck he was talking about; who would they be, what would they do, and why would this be necessary? One then has to wonder who, then candidate Barack Hussein Obama, was referring to? Simply a bit of food for thought.
Ask yourself this, if the KKK had blocked black voters from voting do you think Eric Holder would have come running to their rescue? If it had been racists dressed in white sheets that were caught intimidating voters, would they still be walking free? What about those so-called militias the FBI rounded up, will Eric cut them loose? Make no mistake, they are all vile hate groups; so why is one hate group protected while others are arrested and prosecuted? So what’s the difference? You know the difference, but are you honest enough to admit it to yourself?
Make no mistake, this Administration doesn’t want racial harmony; they are intentionally stirring up racial tensions. These people want to make everything about race – everything, it is the new religion of the left. The NAACP, an organization that exclusively black, has labeled the Tea Party as racist – think about that. Clearly, if you don’t like the policies of a black president, you are a racist – the NAACP says so. Wake up people; this Administration is using race as a weapon to trample the Constitution. You are guaranteed the right to vote, but apparently this Regime doesn’t agree. Their refusal to prosecute the Black Panthers is a refusal to protect your right to vote. Call or write you Reps. and demand a full investigation of the Black Panthers, Eric Holder, and the Justice Department. Ask them the simple question; do you support Eric Holder or American’s right to vote? If this is allowed to stand, we have officially lost our country.
“You will serve a black man now cracker.” The New Black Panthers
2008 Philadelphia Polling Place The Daily Rant 7-04-2010 The Greatest Rant ever Written. The Declaration of Independence IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighboring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
My friends, those who signed this document understood that they were effectively signing their own death warrant, but they valued Liberty over security – they chose to stand and fight vs. living their lives on their knees before the king. Are you my friend willing to stand up to King Barack and his henchmen or will you submit to the will of his Highness Barack Hussein Obama? Wake up America, today marks the day that the colonists and our Founding Fathers told King George they would take no more! Will you let their efforts go to waste, will you let their sacrifices fade into history, or will you stand up and reaffirm their righteous cause? Now is the time to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with true patriots, stand up for Independence, stand up for liberty, and stand up against the King and say “No More!”
Have a great 4th of July! God bless you all, Derrick The Daily Rant 7-03-2010
Chicago Liberals still in Denial
In reaction to the recent Supreme Court ruling, reinforcing the 2nd Amendment - that Americans have the right to bear arms, Chicago immediately passed new harsh restrictions on handguns. They scrambled immediately to enact new laws to keep guns out of the hands its citizens. First of all it’s disgusting that Mayor Daley and his cronies think they are wiser than our Founding Fathers. I find it equally disgusting that the court decision was so closely divided (5-4) as the language of the Constitution is quite clear. Ask yourself this, how did four Supreme Court Justices vote to ignore the Constitution? If they had any doubt about the true meaning of the 2nd Amendment, and they shouldn’t have, they could have simply referred to other writings by the Founding Fathers. Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. Thomas Jefferson
Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion in private self defense. John Adams
A free people ought to be armed. George Washington
Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms. James Madison
Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined...The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun. Patrick Henry
The intent of these patriots was clear, but how about the other side?
The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Adolph Hitler
When we got organized as a country, [and] wrote a fairly radical Constitution, with a radical Bill of Rights, giving radical amounts of freedom to Americans, it was assumed that Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly...When personal freedom is being abused; you have to move to limit it. Bill Clinton
All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party. Mao Tse Tung
The bottom line here is simple, the anti gun crowd believes they must control guns in order to control you. The Chicago Machine and other Liberals like them clearly think they know what’s best for you. Mayor Daley claims that their gun control laws keep you safe, yet they recently had over 52 shootings in a single weekend and have requested the Nation Guard be called out to help battle street crime. Does it sound like banning guns reduces crime? Have these Liberals lost any shred of common sense? As you celebrate Independence Day tomorrow, remember those who fought to secure your independence, and in November remember those who now seek to take it away. The Daily Rant 7-01-2010
Has Obama completely lost it?
With home sales at the lowest level in history, high unemployment, and the stock market crashing; Mr. Obama is on the ‘Summer of Recovery Tour’ telling us the economy is growing. Really Barack; are you this dumb, this dishonest, or completely delusional? Can someone please tell me where the economy is growing? Aside from all those temporary census jobs, where are all these jobs he keeps bragging about? Barack has recently reverted (again) to his campaign message that “it’s all Bush’s fault.” His favorite line lately seems to be “remember who got us into this mess in the first place.” Instead of leading (as he so often promised to do) he is constantly attacking anyone and everyone who doesn’t bow to his will. His arrogance will simply not allow him to admit mistakes, and as his failures continue to pile up he slips further into denial.
So let’s look at reality for a moment shall we? Obama got his $787 Billion stimulus package passed (now over $1 Trillion,) but over 8.5 million people lost their jobs anyway. One year later the States are broke again, the much touted ‘shovel ready projects’ never materialized, and we are now running potentially devastating deficits. The people are clearly angry, the Tea Parties are still a pain in his rear, and Democrats will likely lose control of both Houses in November. His so-called green energy bill, also know as “Crap-and-Trade” sits stalled in Congress. His plan for mass Amnesty for illegal aliens is facing stiff resistance from many in his own party, and he has clearly bumbled the Gulf Oil Spill response. To add insult to injury, his approval numbers have fallen into the low 40’s when at this point in his Presidency that evil George W. Bush was polling in the high 70’s. Barack’s grandiose ideas of Hope & Change have become a nightmare, not just for us but for him as well.
One has to wonder if even Barack believes what he’s saying now. How long can Mr. Obama continue to ignore the facts? How long can he continue to sell failed programs to the American people? How long before the people get tired of his finger pointing and put the blame squarely on him? How long can he carry on this façade as the great Messiah? How long before they carry this guy off to Belleview in a straight jacket? I don’t know, but I hope it’s soon.
