I am tired…

I am tired.

Seriously. I think it is more mental than anything. But this tiredness isn’t a result of anything I have done. No. It is something much more irritating that that. It is something that I as an individual may not have much control over. However, I know I am not alone.

I talk to people on a daily basis and I hear the echoing of my tiredness all across this great country. It is time.

I am tired of our country heading in the wrong direction and the lawmakers who are trying to move it away from what made the United States the most envied country in the world. The freedoms our forefathers fought for when we broke away from the tyranny of a government and it’s encumbering shackles.

I am tired of everyone being “offended” over the most menial of “issues”. Well, I am offended that you are offended. The best advice I heard once was that you can not be offended unless you let someone offend you. When that happens then you are giving that other person the power over you to control you.

You have no control over me. Continue reading I am tired…

Citizens United to End Ohio’s Estate Tax Commends General Assembly

Citizens United to End Ohio’s Estate Tax Commends General Assembly Members and Gov. Kasich for Ending Ohio’s Estate Tax.

With Gov. John Kasich’s signature today on Ohio’s biennial 2012-2013 budget, he eliminates a projected $8 billion deficit and for the first time since 1893 will end – effective Jan. 1, 2013 – Ohio’s estate tax. The repeal marks success for the two year Citizens United initiative campaign and fulfills a campaign pledge made by Gov. Kasich and many General Assembly members.

With the nation’s lowest asset exemption of $338,333, more productive Ohioans are punished by our estate tax than by any other state. What’s more, the estate of an Ohioan is over 50 times more likely to be subject to our estate tax than by the federal estate tax.

SEIU Leaves No Doubts on Its Communist Ties

SEIU Communist

At a May Day rally earlier this past week the Service Employees International Union showed unabashedly that they really are pro-communist. With shouts of ”Legalization or Revolution!” we see that the dreams of American freedom from such tyranny haven’t been weeded out from our country, but are still alive and well.

All we have to do is look back at Wisconsin and what happened there with the crowds and how they reacted – and what they demanded. A whole nation of this type of behavior would be simply wondrous, would it not? Continue reading SEIU Leaves No Doubts on Its Communist Ties

Joe average, YOU are the media now!

A Citizen for Freedom, April 3, 2011

Citizens, just a reminders to all the folks out there – there are about 300 million living in the US. So as far as media goes, if you add up all of the conservative media watchers you are looking at maybe (roughly) about 30 million? (not nearly enough!). Most average Joes don’t really know the issues at much depth and just trust much of what they hear on TV, which we know is usually twisted to favor left, especially more so in the past year.

YOU are the media now.

What Wisconsin/Ohio Union battle is all about

By: fanheo.org , February 18, 2011, freeamerica@fanheo.org

If you think it will be easy to vote out Obama and that our work is done, consider coming back to reality. We have much work to do against the lawless left (not referring to protests here) including Obama…. Remember, the administration is defying 2 court orders and is contempt ….The Florida Healthcare ruling that Obamacare was unconstitutional and the Gulf moratorium on drilling …they just continue to defy and do what they want to …we can NOT allow this. I urge you to stay in engaged…. Our children and grand children’s freedom continues to be at stake …Now Obama and the DNC are getting active in Wisconsin …It is none of their business. It is a state issue! Just as in Ohio…He has fired up his political arm …Organizing for America….

(At the Bottom is a list of contacts …please call your Ohio senator and urge them to support the repeal of Collective Bargaining as proposed in Senate Bill 5 (this is relative to
government employees) If you don’t think there is an issue here ….consider the protests in Greece!

U.S. Inflation Set to Soar

By Martin Hutchinson, Contributing Editor, Money Morning

While prices for food and energy have been rising, inflation in the United States has remained relatively subdued.

One common explanation for that phenomenon is that U.S. inflation has been “exported” to China and elsewhere through the U.S. Federal Reserve’s monetary policy. And given the perennial U.S. balance of payments deficit, it’s good to know the country has found something it can successfully export!

However, the bad news here is that inflation does not stay exported – and in 2011 it may boomerang back to make life on Main Street miserable.

Thankfully, there are precautions we can take to combat higher prices and preserve our wealth.

Pearls of Wisdom from our Founding Fathers

I believe it is time that we begin to reflect on the words that our Founding Fathers so articulately spoke during the formative years of our country. It would seem to us today, via the common channels of mass communication of many news channels and publications, that our nation was not one born on the yearnings of freedom, but some other benign beginnings and thus our future shouldn’t rely on those early ideas that gave us birth as a nation.

We have, I fear lost hope of what was truly spoken and in the context for which it was spoken. Due this egregious error of omission we have, as a Nation, lost sight of what has made America great. It is no longer taught, or known, what our founding Fathers thought or why they truly fought for the freedom of this country. Continue reading Pearls of Wisdom from our Founding Fathers
