John Galt

 

“Who is John Galt?” Those of us who have read Atlas Shrugged know exactly what I am talking about. If you have not read the book you are behind the power curve and I strongly suggest finding a copy.  For those of you who are in the know, you understand that in the book America is in the situation that we find ourselves in right now in real life, and then things go downhill from there. In the book there are people who take a stand against the storm. There are people in America now that are fed up with the things that are happening but do not know where to start. AmericanMajority.org and similar organizations and groups are doing what they can to wake people up and give them the tools they need but there is a lot of work to do. Informing people is just the beginning, what we need now is John Galt and Hank Rearden. We need strong leaders and we need them now! The people of America will make their stand sooner or later, the difference will is making people listen now or shutting down the system later. We have to take a stand before it is too late. The question we should be asking isn’t “Who is John Galt” but “Where is John Galt”.

AmericanMajority training

 

This past Saturday I attended activist training here in San Antonio presented by AmericanMajority.org. I don’t know how many people across the country have been attending their classes but let me tell you it is well worth it. The information they present is eye opening and very important. Don’t pass up this training when it is in your area.

What to do about Bobby Jindal

Have you noticed today the reaction to last nights speech by Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal? Liberal Democrats have been in a tizzy all day and I expect it will continue for weeks. The governor seems to have hit a nerve despite the expected criticism of delivering a boring speech full of the same old ideas. If that where really true why all the commotion today? I think that despite what Liberals are saying they are scared to death of Bobby Jindal because they know the tired old rhetoric will not work as well on him. He is young, younger than Obama. Liberals love saying Republicans are to old to be in touch with young Americans. Democrats love saying that their opponents are out of touch with real Americans despite their aversion to large portions of the country including Louisiana. Governor Jindal is a Rhoads scholar just like Bill Clinton so they are going to have a hard time selling the idea that he is stupid. It has been standard operating procedure for countless years to portray Conservatives as morons. I have faith that Liberals are working on a way to call into question governor Jindal’s education as we speak. It is going to be interesting to see how this is going to be accomplished with out throwing Bill Clinton under the school bus. The governor has served two terms in Congress and is now a sitting governor so they can not say he is inexperienced. He has years more experience than Obama has ever had. Governor Jindal has dealt with such things as Hurricane Katrina and other large deserters in the state of Louisiana. Democrats have ravaged the state of Louisiana for decades and left the state in shambles. Governor Jindal has a large task ahead of him in getting the state back on its feet, just as America has to recover from years of neglect and government mismanagement. The last thing that Democrats want is for America to see a competent Conservative leader that has rebuilt a state and is ready to lead in the rebuilding of America. Since the governor is not white it is going to be hard to paint him as a racist since Liberals insist that only whites can be racist. On the first page of the Liberal play book it says to call any opponent a racist and to say it often. He can not be called anti-immigrant because he is the son of immigrants. When the governor opposes illegal aliens people must look at the actual issue and not just stop at the tired old racist anit-immigrant label. Liberals have no idea what to do about him so they are letting loose with everything they have early to see what will stick. The only thing they can try to use in mass is that he is from Louisiana, a state they see as backward and uncultured. They are to short sited to remember that Louisiana is in the shape it is in not because of Republicans but because of years of Democrat corruption and control. Governor Jindal is doing his best to clean things up and turn the state around. Liberals know that if he does this it only makes him a stronger candidate.

Tea Anyone?

I was lucky enough to have been at home this morning right next to my computer. I usually check the news site often and as usual I checked out the Drudge Report and WOW! When I get up this morning I was expecting an average day, I had no clue that today would be the day that the gauntlet would be cast at the collective feet of Washington and especially with such passion. I must admit that I had never heard of Rick Santelli until this morning, but he is my hero now! Who would have ever thought that a fin actual reporter from CNBC would be the man that stood up and said what so many of us are thinking. He said that Franklin and Jefferson are rolling over in there graves because of the things that our government is doing and I share the same feeling. With that said I am quite sure that Samuel Addams and Thomas Paine are also grinning ear to ear as we speak. Now it is time for the rest of us to stand strong with Mr. Santelli. We all must show that he is not alone and insure that his voice stays strong. We must unite and stand along side one another. It is the duty of us all to safeguard our freedom and liberty, not just Rick Santelli.

A Few Words On Craigslist

 

I like to read the post in the politics section of the community area of Craigslist. I find this section fascinating. Some of the things you read there just boggle the mind. There you can see the thoughts of a wide variety of people. Some of the post are well thought out and presented in a civil and intelligent manner. Others are vile, disgusting, and flat out hate filled. Then there are what seems to be the vast majority that juvenile, incoherent, and just plan moronic. When you read posts from this later group its easy to understand why the founding fathers placed limits in the Constitution on who can vote.

I know some people automatically think I am talking about non white and women and, you would be wrong. I am talking about having to own property to vote. The requirement to own property in order to vote does exclude a lot of people I know. But, I understand the thinking behind it. The founders wanted to protect us all from the easily swayed and ill informed.  People that have a monetary stake in the community and country at large are more likely to make better decisions. At least that is what they hoped. The founders knew that then, just as today, there are a lot of people that believe any and everything they are told. These people can be told anything no matter how absurd and not only believe it, but also repeat it to others that will believe and repeat as well. Once the idea is firmly implanted this misinformation affects the way people vote. This is just the kind of thing that the founding fathers tried to protect the country from.

I know that like so many other things the founders set in place, the days of protection from the ill informed are over. P.T. Barnum said “There is a sucker born every minuet” and he was right. There are lots of people and groups out there that willingly mislead as many people as they can. They do get way with it because their audience never bother with investigating the information for themselves. After you hear something long enough, it becomes truth. It is up to the informed in this country to intervene on behalf of the country. We all hear people repeat untruths everyday. It is up to us to try to correct all that can be reached. There are people that will never listen. Some will curse you and hate you for even speaking to them. Those are the ones that are lost forever but, there are some that can be reached. People that are just truly misinformed can be given the truth and reasoned with. It is these people that must be reached before it is to late for them as well.
