The Patriot's Flag

Today I’m flying the Sons of Liberty Flag, a patriot flag I fly when Liberty and Freedom is lost.  …. and have you noticed that we’ve lost them?  Hard to see?  Difficult to measure?  Well maybe a little, but … ?  Look back, not at yesterday or the day before,  look back 1 year ago.  Now can you more clearly see the lost liberties and freedoms?  You didn’t notice because progressives move LEFT in “baby steps.”  Ah, just a little more to the left, …. there, see, that wasn’t so bad was it? But after a YEAR of it, it’s not baby steps, it’s a giant lunge to the left for the United States of America. No more ” progressive baby steps” for me! (What’s a “Progressive?” … Find out HERE).

What’s the difference? Often people ask what is the difference between a Marxist and a Progressive.  Although the end game goal is the same, the method used to carry out the goal is much different.

Marxism achieves power through REVOLUTION.

Progressivism achieves power through EVOLUTION…

(… one (baby) step at a time)

Above are the 10 Commandments of Progressism. When we look back at this year (if you are a conservative like I am) you will feel you are in the midst of a revolution with those 10 commandments as the mantra.  Your conservative world has been shattered by the radical left that gained unstoppable power and who lives by those 10 ideals (a power increased by the of any viable opposition in the Democrat congress). You can almost smell the smoke and feel the still vibrating  brass of the cannons, but you had barely noticed. You now easily recognize the unrestrained arrogance of a naïve and inexperienced President and a congress that does what IT wants to solidify power while refusing to listen to the voters. They are not even listening to the people who foolishly voted for them.  We see blatant lies daily from the Office of the President of the United States, this isn’t just an idle statement on my part, YOU can see it on TV every day.  Today, with the digital technology we have, we can VISUALLY see our President say something one day, and the next day say something the opposite. This in itself is breathtaking, but that this man and the people who surround him are not ashamed of being caught in lies. They are following Alinski’s Rules for Radicals, that states the “ends justifies the means” so they continue  in this hypocrisy without a moral thought of impropriety and without any hint of guilt …  is beyond belief.  America, we have never been “here” before!

Example, the Health Care Bill. President Obama promised over and over that we will be able to keep our own doctors and our own insurance. He attacked anyone saying the bill said otherwise and labeled them Obstructionists. An indelicate way of saying those who oppose the bill are lying.  Yet now, he says, “we want to keep that message about being able to keep your doctor and keep your insurance, but it looks like some people “snuck” some of those other things into the bill.”  Huh? You mean the “obstructionists you attacked weren’t lying? Are you telling us now they were reading the bill correctly?  … or do you  mean YOU were lying?  What he is really saying is, “…oh well, only a “little of that sneaky stuff” is in there, but don’t worry about it.”

The C-SPAN Transparency And of course the campaign promise Obama made about Health Care, “It will be a transparent process, we will televise the debate on C-SPAN.”  Eight times he said this during his campaign, and the video is available on YouTube to prove he said this. And the result of those promises? The process was not transparent, it was not televised on C-SPAN, it was fabricated with HUGE DOLLAR DEALS behind closed … and locked… doors. Democrats on the “inside” bribing other Democrats with our tax dollars to get key votes while  Republicans and the public were  literally locked out of the process! (And we have video of the locked doors!).

And there is the point of this post. One baby step at a time, one lie at a time, one broken promise at a time, the entire process evolves to the left.  A promise made, and a vote given in return, then the promise broken, and instead of retribution, simply a shrug of the shoulders and another promise made. The progressives move us further and further to the left, moving ever further away from our Constitution. As a result, our liberties and our freedoms fade.  And this happens while they accuse anyone who opposes the “tiny, inconsequential” baby steps of being Obstructionists and liars.

Bipartisanism? The President whines that if we could just be “bipartisan” things would start to work.  But the Progressive’s view of “bipartisan” means you have to agree with their baby steps to the left. Ask a Progressive to take a baby step to the right and they scream “teabagger!”  So much for bipartisan, it’s a code word for continuing the march toward socialism. There was nothing “bipartisan” about locking the Republicans and the Public out of the Health Care discussions.  But now we KNOW who the liars are don’t we? We have the proof all around us. We have the digital video of their promises, and of their denials. We are up to our necks in Progressive (sic “Liberal”), Democrat sponsored lies and subterfuge, America is drowning in Socialism.

And this goes on and on and on, one “tiny, inconsequential” baby step at a time … marching EVERY DAY, just an inch at a time, to the Left.  Most Americans are still working, or trying to find a job and don’t have a lot of time to spend during the day watching for the sounds of the marching baby steps to the Left. But when they look back to one year ago, suddenly, they notice the pendulum has swung far to the left and they are appalled. General Motors and Chrysler now “taken over” by the government? Corporate salaries set by a (unelected) “Pay Czar”?  A 13 TRILLION dollar Debt?  10%, some say 17% unemployment? Thousands of jobs still being lost on a weekly basis, 20,000 last month, 10 MILLION jobs short of the President’s “promise”?  A President, in the midst of this saying we need to go even further in debt to get out of the problem? And a White House that says it has “saved  two and a half million jobs, in the face of losing MILLIONS of jobs?!  So even the American who hasn’t been paying attention on a daily basis suddenly wakes up and realizes there has been a REVOLUTION … by almost unnoticeable baby steps.  The result of the Progressive’s creeping “evolution” to the left or the Marxist abrupt “revolution” to the left is, in the end, the same one year later.  And we’ve never been “here” before!

But America is noticing. America is now clearly seeing the results of CREEPING PROGRESSIVISIM.  They are Waking Up! And when they open their politically sleepy eyes and look around they barely recognize their own country. Once bold and respected in the world, the USA is now somewhat of a laughing-stock. Easily pushed around by the likes of Iran (who wants to kill us).  We “Mirandize” terrorists to “tell them of their legal rights?” Huh?  What legal rights, they aren’t citizens are they?  We decided to give the man who planned the 9-11 attacks an “open and free trial” in New York City … the very city where he KILLED 3000 people!  And at a cost of $250 MILLION dollars to keep him safe while he uses this bully pulpit to spew forth his version of a religion that has a goal of killing as many Americans as possible. We are finally noticing a debt that we are realizing we can never pay back. We are now a “debtor” nation … and beholding to people who would love to see us bow to their power … China.  We have become their paper tiger … something America has never been.  And we are ashamed …. and we are becoming frightened … and we’ve never felt that way before!

The Tug of War between the left and the right will always continue.  And there are people at the far end of either end of the rope that can be frightening in their own way. But the “struggle” of late has moved the rope far to the left.  And when a culture moves left, history has proven it ALWAYS ends in disaster.  We are starting to see the fruits of our leftward drift. A banking system on its knees, a stock market that is “growing” in a “jobless recovery” (an economic oxymoron!) … which is another phrase for BUBBLE and FINANCIAL DISASTER!  This economy is  “growing”   if you view it with the same smoke and mirrors used to prove Man-Made Global Warming and debunked totally by ClimateGate. We could be on the verge of a financial disaster never met … and this from the “fiscal responsible” Obama administration. (At least that’s why my Dem friends told me they voted for him! … another broken promise?).

“To solve the problem, lets use the solution again” … they are still employing the echos and faded  campaign energy of “Hope and Change” … and now, a year later, it is turning into the “same old” poison.  It doesn’t take an Einstein to know that doing the same thing over and over will not change the result. Everything that has not worked, will now be “doubled down” … another stimulus bill … oh, forgive me, “we are told not to call it that ” (Robert Gibbs) … it is a “jobs” bill now.  (Another Progressive ploy, if it doesn’t work the first time, just change its name … same solution, same gal in a different dress!).  Instead of tax cuts, something we know from history that ALWAYS works, this President spends even more of the money he is printing.  Small business, where jobs are made cannot hire under the added taxation facing them. The spiral continues unabated … no, not “unabated” … “accelerated!”  And I believe this is being done not out of naivety, but with purpose. This is how the Progressive solidify their power. They cause a crisis and convince the public only the government can solve the problem.

But with this doom and gloom, there is a glimmer of light, the dawn is breaking! People are “getting it.”  A truly grass-roots …. one person at a time …. Tea Party Movement has sprung up around the country. This “movement” is criticized that it doesn’t know where it is going … I disagree. It may not be “organized” but it is going RIGHT! It is seen as “obstructionist” by the Progressives, but actually that is the “hope” of the progressives. The fear of the Progressives is that the movement will take all the progressive gains they’ve made back to the right. They could live with “status quo” for now, they’ve moved us radically left. They fear the Tea Party Movement and the increasing awakening of the Independents … because they know this is not obstructionism, this is movement … in the opposite direction.  The results of the elections in Virginia, New Jersey and now Massachusetts (Ted Kennedy’s seat went to a REPUBLICAN?) … are not “baby steps” they are SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT back to the right … where MOST Americans know this country should be.

The Tide is Turning Once  Independents and misguided Democrats get over the “historical (media induced) hype” of electing “the First Black President” … they will finally realize that he’s nothing but an elegant and some think good-looking … ideologue.  They will begin to realize this man will, before this is finished, discredit the black community and set it back for generations. Unfortunately, people will associate any potentially excellent black candidate in the future with Barack Obama.  And people will not vote for that person because there will be no trust, the trust will have been spent. This is unfair to the black community because the only thing “historical” about this last election is that we elected the most radically left administration in the history of the United States. People are beginning to see this person not as a political Messiah, but a political Pariah.  Democrats are beginning to distance themselves from “The One.”  And those he has reached out to help have failed. He is becoming a creäture of political jeopardy. The generic ballot according to Rasmussen is 45% to 25% now in favor of the Republicans.  “Solid” Democrat seats are in double-digit polling  jeopardy.  The tide has turned.

I am not an Obstructionist. I am not willing to just STOP the movement to the left with its marching, seemingly inconsequential baby steps.  I am going to do everything I can do in this political tug-of-war. I’m going to JERK THE ROPE HARD back to the right. By doing this, I will be taking back all the baby steps of the Progressives that have nearly ruined the United States of America over this past year. I went to 912 in DC, I’m going to a Tea Party next month, I fly a different Patriot Flag every day. I do this blog, I work on my “Democrat” neighbors who fell for mainstream media’s marketing of “Hope and Change.” These are the people who thought Jon Stewart, CNN and Chris Matthews were “news sources.” People who are now watching FOX … in DROVES!  Look at the ratings at Fox!

I am not an obstructionist, I’m an activist. I’ve always been too busy earning a living to “get involved.”  Now, just try to stop me.  If we are only “Stopping leftward movement” then we are accepting where we are and will simply decay in this dark place.  I don’t like it here, I’m moving back to the light, I’m JERKING the rope as hard as I can to the right … and there are a lot of people pulling with me.  (You would have felt it too if you were in a crowd of 1,750,000 people on 912 in DC!). We WILL take this country back … and with no need for stealthy “baby steps” …  A hard, bold move to the right … RIGHT in the face of the progressives who would destroy our country, our liberty, our freedom and our safety.  When I see a progressive baby step … I’ll shout it out … I’ll point it out … I’ll sound the alarm.  And I’ll put it right here for you to see on The Patriot’s Flag. I’ll march with you, I’ll pray with you and I’ll go to the gun range with you!

Join the Party of KNOW!  We need to say “NO” when Harry Reid puts up another Communist or Mao enthusiast for some nomination, we need to say NO to more spending, NO to more taxes, NO to revising the history books in our schools, NO to dumbing down our kids about the virtues of this great nation, and NO to anything that even looks like it is leaning “left.”  The more you KNOW, the more you will say NO.  Let the Libs call it what they want, but we spell it KNOW as in the “Party of KNOW!”

So what are you? Are you a Progressive, still drinking the same poison Kool Aid that already has set our country into a financial black hole?  A bewildered Democrat wondering what has happened to your father’s Democrat party? An Obstructionist who can “live with the problems” but don’t want to go a step further, happy with just saying “no”?  Or are you an activist that, like me, have decided WE don’t like it here and we are going to take our country back to what made it great? Stopping the left baby steps is not enough … We are going to “take it RIGHT back where it belongs!”

And you think the Progressives have not entered your schools and used the main stream news to infiltrate the minds of your neighbors?   Here’s the latest from Gallup:

There are too many people who don’t KNOW! Time to GET ACTIVE!
