Violence has it’s time and place.  We as a people should only use violence as an absolute last resort.  I completely disagree with the notion that violence is only for “barbaric people” who can’t use words to express their ideas.  Sometimes violence, war, and blood are the only tools left to a society.  They feel so oppressed that their voice is never heard.  These people get labeled as “extremist” by those who oppress them so others can oppress them even more.  Thomas Jefferson once said that the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Obama’s favorite president Abraham Lincoln said:

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.

Congressmen all over the country are getting the full brunt of the anger that is brewing in the hearts of America.  And many of these people (myself included) feel completely left out of the conversation.  With Obama calling on his followers to report people who disagree with him to Pelosi calling protesters un-American, you can see why people are getting even more angry.

In an effort to help out my fellow conservatives, I’d like to offer some thoughts and questions you should ask your Congressmen.  Let’s leave the chanting and the angry mob outside the town hall.  If you have the chance to ask your congressmen questions, use the opportunity to ask them the hard questions, questions no one wants to ask.  Questions that the media should be asking but are too scared or too lazy to ask themselves.

Congressmen ultimately answer to you.  Here are some hard questions to ask:

1. When GM and Chrysler were begging for a bailout, Congress reamed them for flying in on corporate private jets.  However, the House recently approved $550 million to upgrade their own personal jets.  Why should the American people approve these private jets for congressmen but not for taxpayer-owned GM?  Furthermore, what will you do to correct this?
2. Obama has consistently said that the health care bill will improve health care.  If this is the case, why has no congressmen agreed to go on the public option?  Will you mandate, and not ask, all congressmen who vote for the bill to use the public option?  Why or why not?
3. Obama has consistently promised that public option health care will give people a choice, and not force people to choose the public option.  However, page 16 (section 102) clearly states otherwise.  Who should we believe? The bill or the President?  If the bill, why haven’t you accused the President of lying to the public and when will you draw up impeachment proceedings like congress did for President Bush?
4. Obama fired Gerald Walpin, a special independent prosecutor, who found fraudulent activity between Obama and a supporter.  Why hasn’t Obama been charged with hindering prosecution, which is a federal felony?
5. Obama has consistently broken many of his campaign promises and looks like he will have to raise taxes on the 95% of the people he said he would protect.  What will you do to prevent this from happening?  Additionally, why hasn’t any democratic congressmen charged Obama with this very fact?  He said “lobbyist will not have a job in this administration” and no less then 24 hours later a lobbyist has a job in his administration.  Why are congressmen, especially democratic congressmen afraid to confront this president when they were not afraid to with the last president?

There have been many reports of congressmen filling the audience with unions who support Obama.  And many of these reports show that these union thugs have become violent toward conservative protesters.  Due to this fact, I am recommending any protester who has a gun to go armed.  You should be prepared to protect yourself.  Since the White House has even encouraged violence, I expect these thugs to be even more violent in the weeks to come.  Remember the rule of self-defense: Do not shoot unless they threaten you.  Virginians: Our state is not a retreat state.  You may stand your ground if you are being threatened.  Do not be afraid of these thugs but at the same time do not be afraid to defend your self.

Please respect all laws in your state when carrying a weapon.

They didn’t take food stamps, or WIC, or anything like that.  They just worked hard to raise my sister and me.  Save as much money as they could, bought a house in the suburbs, and sent us to college.

This is the American dream that I know.  You come from nothing and raise a family.

I don’t understand why people see the government as someone to take care of them.  My parents didn’t have to get help from the government.  Why should anyone else?

Today, we have social security (the biggest Ponzi scheme in the history of the WORLD), medicare, medicaid, Section 8 housing…and now, the government is going to offer healthcare.  Why should this be a government responsibility?

No where in the Constitution does it say that the government is supposed to be a rich uncle who provides everything for you.  People have used the preamble in Section 8 to justify these programs (“Congress shall…provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States”, emphasis mine).  This never meant individual welfare.  While the government does have a vested-interest in the health and wellbeing of it’s citizens, it must do so by providing the environment to thrive, not just hand out help.

Allow me to digress a bit to illistrate this point.  Late last week, I attended a neighborhood watch meeting.  A few of the residence in my community came by and heard an officer share what’s going around the neighborhood.  What was interesting was that this was the first time any of us met each other for the first time.  One resident, who lived there since the community was built, said that this was the first time for her to meet me.  (I moved in about a year and a half ago.)

This is very common: people who are neighboors have never met each other.  Only see each other as they pass by.  Only see the need to talk to them because their music is too loud or the grass hasn’t been cut.  Sometimes, they won’t even do that!  To avoid confrontation, many will just call the police and make a complaint.

So instead of walking over and asking kindly as a neighbor to cut the grass, turn down the music, they call the goverernment.  This woman who had lived in the community since it was built said, “It’s a sad reflection of our society.”

I say it’s a sad reflection of ourselves.  We wouldn’t need the government to babysit us if neighbors helped each other eagerly.  We’d help eacher eagerly if we got to know each other personally and not just by an address.  Everyone goes through hard times.  The government should not be the first place someone turns to for help: it should be their neighbors, friends, and family.

If we simply took the time to get to know each other, we wouldn’t need any of these government programs.  If anything, the government would look at our communities and say, “Wow, what can I do to make sure these communities flurish?”

I’d answer, “Absolutely nothing.”
