You've all read the Federalist Papers, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, and the Articles of Confederation. Those documents are sacred to me. I'm increasingly studying the words and actions of several of the Founding Fathers... just to make absolutely certain that I am not out-of-step with what they wanted.
Basically... what it boils down to... we're fighting corruption and tyranny in our own government.
Excessive taxation must end. Any taxation, whatsoever, should not be the sole decision of suits in DC. The People must decide for themselves. The government must not be allowed to fund their own over-spending, by further burdening The People, and those we elect must be called to account for their frivolity with our tax dollars.
The elected officials must also stop spending tax dollars on stupid things. Porkbarrel spending is at an all-time high... ear-marking is corruption, and over-taxing to pay for it is arguably tyrannical. Our money should not be sent to foreign countries, in a time of economic crisis, and printing more money is not a viable solution, as Obama seems to think.
Free speech is being infringed upon by this proposed "Fairness Doctrine", among a great many other things. It is blatant censorship. Political Correctness needs to wave good-bye, as well. Religious freedoms have been disappearing for years, now, and it's only getting worse.
Abortion must be abolished. So must gun control.
Crime needs to be punished more severely. Plea-bargaining must end, and we need to be less sparing with the Death Penalty.
Accountability is what we need. Politicians must be held accountable for what they do, and that is simply not happening.
Nobody is going to do this for us. We need to make it happen, ourselves.
More on this, later.

"Where'er we roam, our first, best country ever is at home.
What constitutes a state? Men who their duties know; but know their rights, and knowing, dare maintain.
And sovereign law, that states collected will o'er thrones and globes elate, sits empress; crowning good, repressing ill.
This hand to tyrants ever sworn a foe, for Freedom only deals the deadly blow; then sheathes in calm repose the vengeful blade, for gentle peace, in freedom's hallowed shade."
-John Q. Adams
"How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!"
-Samuel Adams
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

Something else that needs attention is this Socialization of Healthcare (that's exactly what it is). It seems so small when first looking at it, yet it is just the first step toward government takeover or private business. The takeover of GM (Government Motors, now) is just another way the government is taking over.
The task that lies before us is convincing people that giving up freedom for "help" is the worst thing to do. We have to spread the passion and love for Freedom that once was the driving force in our nation. People no longer value the freedom they have here, and thus are willing to give it up, just like Esau was willing to give up his birthright for a bowl of soup. He didn't know it's value and therefore threw it away for something insignificant.
Excellent. Corporatism (not Socialism) is on the rise, in this administration, and needs to be stopped dead in it's tracks, and reversed. Thank you for reminding me of that detail.
As far as socialized healthcare... well, we have a program like that, in the military, and there's a reason why most of the big problems go to private doctors... you can't trust the doctors in the system with anything more serious than an open wound or a broken bone... and any uncommon illness won't be properly cared-for, either.
It's good to have a safety-net for the bottom rungs of the income ladder... but there's a point at which people need to be told to pay for their own health insurance.
Furthermore... Obama is so freakin proud of himself for including illegal immigrants in his socialized healthcare package... how could he be so foolish?
Gather, demonstrate, lobby, interfere. Demand.
No violence. No threats of violence. Not unless absolutely needed, in the most desperate and dire of circumstances. Those are the orders we're all carrying out.
I can only do so much, in order to maintain my position in the military. I am forced to simply direct and provide structure. You out there, with the names, will be the ones making all the noise, and taking all the credit. And, I'm ok with that.
