Awesome.

So today I just heard about this "Liberal Tea Party." Amazing. Van Jones has introduced his group, the "American Dream Movement." "Van is a co-founder of three successful non-profit organizations: The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, Color of Change and Green for All. He is the best-selling author of the definitive book on green jobs: The Green~Collar Economy. He served as the green jobs advisor in the Obama White House in 2009.(vanjones.net)" Needless to say, Van Jones is a flaming Liberal and wants to see socialism spread throughout our great republic. He introduced this group in the Huffington Post in February of this year. He call it "Our 'Tea-Party' Movement" and said that "all who love this country need to do everything possible to spread the 'Spirit of Madison' to all 50 states." Luckily he did say that we didn't all need to go occupy our state capitols and pull our kids out of school to go there and picket beside the teachers who refuse to do their jobs because they are too busy acting like idiots. But we still could go to our capitols steps and rally.

He is trying to organize a grassroots movement to take on the completely unorganized Tea Party. I guess the concept of free thinking and actual common sense is completely null and void to these people. He is trying to get people to rally around the socialist concept, that taxing the rich and giving to the poor is the way the American Dream is going to be upheld. I told a guy here on blogger (who will remained unnamed - mostly because I don't want to draw any more attention to his idiocy than necessary) earlier this week that people are inherently good but they are also inherently greedy, jealous, and lazy. Now don't get me wrong, there are evil people out there, but overall good will prevail because people will see something is bad and run away from it. That is what happened to create the Tea Party, more on that later.

If you give people something for free and they can take as much as they want, they're going to take as much as they can carry if they think they can use it. I put this into a deer analogy. If you take a truck full of carrots and dump them in the field, the deer are going to come eat them. If the pile is completely eaten and you bring another truck and dump it in the field, the deer will come back and keep eating them. Why should they waste their time and energy searching in the woods for food, when there is a big pile of carrots to eat from just over there in an open field? As a result, the undergrowth in the forest starts getting dense. Soon there is no clear way through the undergrowth and the woods are no longer navigable. But you keep dumping those carrots in the field and the deer keep coming back and getting fatter and fatter and fatter. Soon the are just lounging in the field and don't even run when the truck comes in with the carrots. They just wait right there till the truck dumps the carrots and they start eating before the truck even drives away. Now with all of these deer so fat they can't run away and so trusting of you because you have feed them for so long, you can go into that field and shoot them all and none of them will get away. As a result of the dependence they have grown to you, they won't be able to run back into the woods due to so much dense undergrowth that has grown because they weren't in there eating it and keeping it clear. The no longer have their trails they can use to vanish because they haven't needed them. So you start shooting them one by one. At first when they here the shooting it doesn't bother them, but then the shooting gets closer and closer and they try to run, but there is no way out. Now since you have baited them for years and kept them fat and happy for so long, you were able to completely obliterate them because they couldn't and wouldn't fend for themselves.

If you make it easy for people to set at home and do nothing, they will. If you take away the need to work hard, they will stop. If you take away the need to be better, they will stop trying. If you take away the benefit of exploring, they will stay still. If you take away the reward for developing, their minds will rest. I know that I do not want to be dependant on anyone except for myself and my family. I know that people are inherently greedy and if you become dependant upon them and trust them completely, they will take and take and take, until you have nothing left, and they will throw you away because you are of no more benefit to them.

Do you think Hitler came into power in Germany by saying, "I want to kill the Jews, elect me."? No. He lost the elections and decided to create mass chaos in the streets. He started holding rallies and spreading propaganda and got larger and larger followings at his rallies and created more and more violence. After a few elections, most of which were lost by the Nazi party he became chancellor and then used that position to spread propaganda and earn trust of people through fear and "emergencies." He got the president to pass a decree called, "For the Protection of the People and the State." It was a bill that took away the German peoples rights to free speech, the press, assembly, personal property and many other things. He then convinced the government that he should be in control of the country, and they gave him complete power with absolutely no checks and balances. If it could happen then, what makes you think it couldn't happen again? If you are dependant on the government, and it turns evil, then what can you do?

The biggest problems we have in our country is a mixture between multiple things.

Jealousy - everyone sees what the rich have and they want it too. I 'm guilty. I see nice cars and nice homes, and nice counter tops, and nice garages, and nice tools, and nice clothes and I want them. I want to look like them, I want to eat like them, I want to party like them, and I want to be like them.

Greed - people get money, but not enough, and they want to get everything they can to be more like that top 1%. So they will either steal, to get the best stuff, they will borrow more money than they can afford to pay for the stuff, or they will become very frugal and save every dime until they can afford to buy it. And some will save the money and put it away like they have to have it and they will lie, cheat or steal to get more of it.

Last but not least is Laziness - you know what this means. Everyone knows someone who is working the system. They sit at home and collect a check from the government because they can. Either they have kids and are collecting their monthly welfare checks, so they continue having more kids to increase the checks, or they are sitting at home collecting their disability check for a back injury, but that back injury doesn't stop them from doing construction work under the table. When you ask them about it, they give you some sob story followed by, "And anyway, if I were to get a real job, it would cut into my benefits." Some people look at these "benefits" as something that is owed to them for being an American citizen, but it is there to actually help people who can't provide for themselves. A benefit to being an American citizen is the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the freedom to practice or not practice religion without having the government punish you for it, not sit at home and collect a check for no real reason.

If we want to fix America, we have to combat these problems. We have to try to make it beneficial for people to work, instead of sit at home and collect checks. We have to make it easier for people to start their own businesses so they can try to live their own dreams. We have to make it easier for businesses to hire more people and expand. We have to make it easier for people to make things here in America instead of sending it overseas to make it. We have to commit ourselves to making America the best country to live in. We also need to make sure that as our country continues to be the best in the world, that we are not being short changed in our trades with other countries. We need to make sure that our citizens are getting the best prices from other countries and that we are able to provide other countries the best prices for our products. In order for them to buy from us, we need to have prices lower than the rest of the world. If we can produce it here, we should be able to buy it from here. Can anyone tell me why you can't buy a completely American made coffee maker?

You can't make people stop being jealous, but you can make it so they are motivated to come up with their own ideas on how to make it to their own form of success. You want everyone to own a home? Go build them and sell them for cost. You could even start your own non-profit corporation making homes for inner city families. You want everyone to own a new fuel efficient car? Start a non-profit building inexpensive, fuel efficient cars and sell them for cost. You can be socialistic, and not try to ruin every ones lives by increasing the size of government, therefore increasing the cost of everything. You can change the world, and not change the government.

Big government doesn't make things better. If you haven't noticed, the government doesn't always make the best decisions, and they definitely don't make decisions fast. If "Big Brother" isn't supporting you in every step of your life, you have a say, but if they are, you have to go with them or you will perish. Remember, our government was set up on the basis of the government was "by the people and for the people," meaning that the government does what the people want, not the other way around. A republic, the basis of our government, is a government that is run by the rule of law, our Constitution. The government is supposed to guide us by the laws established in our constitution.

Now back to the Tea Party. I told you more on this later, you probably thought I forgot. This group was not created, this group happened. No one said came out on the Drudge, or the Blaze, or one of the conservative talk shows and said, "We need to organize our efforts across this country and tell these evil Democrats that we don't want their socialist policies. Everyone who loves this great country needs to spread the spirit of 'Boston Mass. December 16, 1773' across all of these 50 states." No, people realized that the government was trying to force them into a health care policy that they did not want. They realized that the government can not, by any stretch of the imagination, afford to pay for this type of program, and that by getting involved, there is no possible way they will lower the prices. They realized that they need to take control of the government, or there won't be a country by the time it's their children's or grand children's turn to run the country.

I tried to tell everyone 3 years ago that this was going to be hard. Of course I knew by writing this blog I wasn't going to be able to reach very many people, but don't get me wrong, I was writing my congressmen and women. I was writing other peoples congressmen and women. I was writing letters to newspapers, none of which I saw run in the papers. I was telling everyone I knew about what was happening and what was coming. People were to entrenched in the history of the moment and the partisan politics to pay attention to the actual issues that were affecting, and were about to be affecting our country. I fear now that a new election cycle is coming up, the country is going to go right back into the same cycle as it has for so many years now.

Anyway, before I continue down this road of unabashed, yet completely correct, destruction of the Liberal mindset, I must bid you adieu. It is bed time in my house and I need to get some sleep. I hope that our people will see the light and correct the path of this country. I fear if we do not, the world will look back at this point in time and realize how stupid we really were.

God bless you, and God bless the USA. We're going to need it.
