“We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.
We’ve done so much for so long with so little, we’re now qualified to do anything with nothing”

–Current Democrat Leadership in the Congress and White House

“If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one, subject to particular exceptions.” –James Madison, letter to Edmund Pendleton, 1792

–Awesome quote sent by the Patriot Post today.

For months now, Americans have been infuriated that 9-11 terrorist suspects may be tried in New York City. Not only is this in poor taste, but it places havoc in a city that already does not sleep. In a revolation, apparantly Obama has asked for Eric Holder to investigate other areas to try and convict the terrorists. Maybe, Obama is trying to save face? Forget it, it is too late for that.

In a bold move, Republicans are trying to block Federal funds to pay for the 9-11 trials if they are held in New York City. I didn’t know they had it in them, and I would not expect more. The whole entire Congress needs a reset button, no matter which party they claim obedience.

This is another example of how Obama has shown Americans just how idiotic he really is. No one with any sensitivity to NYC would even think of putting a terrorist trial there. If the slow revamping of Manhattan is not enough of a reminder, I do not know what is. Obama just does not understand that the World Trade Center site is sacred and hallowed ground. Placing a terrorist anywhere close to that area is an insult to those who died there. Even if Holder does not have the trial in NYC, Obama’s cowardly message has already been sent. Obama’s actions are like daggars in the hearts of the victims of 9-11-2001.

Karl Rove declared this week that the State Of The Union speech is not a reset button for Obama. Rove is right. Elections are the reset button. This year, millions are posed to give it a push.

Dick Armey (R-Texas) was rallying the Republican troops today. The former GOP leader of the House issued a challenge to get “small-government, grass-roots conservatives” back in the Republican camp.

Good luck.

Armey acknowledged the difficulty with this considering the overall failure of the 1994 Republican Revolution to solidify and sustain their “Contract With America” for a prolonged period of time. As I recall, the Republicans started with a strong start steering Clinton into passing welfare reform and less government spending. However, Republicans always acted like the underdogs, never putting up much of a fight. Eventually, they morphed into big spending Democrats while hiding from criticism of political enemies and the press. They became spineless weenies.

So, the tea-party people like me are concerned about electing so called Republicans back into office. We fear that over time that the same echo of history will be repeated. We don’t want them to be voted in and then act like visitors to Washington.

Republican Rep. John Shimkus echoed Armey’s concerns saying, “…you walked away from your core principles and values, that’s why you have an outside conservative movement because they have no home.”

Thats why we need to hit the reset button. Lets just get all new blood into Washington so we can prove who is really in charge.
