Yesterday's Tucson Massacre Has Politicians Wanting To Limit Our Freedom of Speech

In proof that Washington DC politicians just do not GET IT, seems there is already a move afoot to pass a law to limit our Freedom of Speech...yesterday is a symptom of a great cancer eating away at the fabric of America, and instead of realizing that, instead of putting politics as usual aside and going about the business of saving our nation, Washington, DC politicians are far more concerned about their own personal safety, want to put aside important National Issues to pass law in haste aimed at taking away more of our rights, and providing themselves with more protection at the taxpayer expense.

As example...I am no big fan of Sarah Palin, she ranks right down there in the slim with Nan Hayworth in my book, but a newly envisioned law to be introduced would make her targeting certain Congressional seats with the use of a scope's cross-hairs a federal crime. She used very well known hunting symbolism...want to argue it was in poor taste, I could agree with that, but making it a Federal Crime?

How about making voting AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE a federal crime? If say sixty percent of Americans are in favor of any given law, it would seem the Congressional votes should break along a 60/40 split, but how often is the will of the people IGNORED? A perfect case in point were the recently passed tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires like say, Sarah Palin, Senator McCain, and our own newly minted Congresswoman Nan Hayworth...who for the record supported those tax cuts for herself and her UBER RICH FRIENDS here in Westchester County NY. E-Verify is another perfect example, and then we could hold a serious discussion of the North American Union that is still moving forward at a fast pace against the will of the people.

None of us can argue that the young man who committed yesterday's atrocious acts has some serious issues, probably emotionally and mentally...but what percentage of his issues can be put right at the foot of our elected officials who have turned their collective backs on average Main Street Americans, and more specifically our youth? Look at the unemployment rate of our youth that is well over FIFTY PERCENT...they see no future for themselves right now...do our politicians care that a lot of the jobs that used to be filled by our youth as they got their foot into the proverbial door are now filled by illegal aliens?

A Arizona Law enforcement officer yesterday basically called us a bunch of bigots...did not take a rocket scientist to realize he was talking about the rising hatred of illegal aliens...since when did hating criminals make us bigots?

A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from their own or intolerant of people of political views, different ethnicity, race, class, religion, sexual orientation or gender.

So, using his reasoning, should we start talking a blanket AMNESTY for all law breakers, all the criminals here in America? Should we be more open minded and accepting of rapists, murderers or child molesters? Illegal aliens lower American Wages (per year) by over $200 Billion dollars, and on average, depreciate middle and lower incomes by some seven plus percent. 7.5 million illegal aliens have jobs while some 16 million American workers are out of a job...but we are not supposed to HATE THEM? I do hate them, and am not about to hide my own dislike of this particular group of criminals, and that is what they are. Does that make me a bigot? I do not hate illegal aliens because they are say Latin or Irish, or Chinese...I hate them because they are criminals who have violated at least four American laws in being here, in holding a job. Now I have Washington DC politicians who want to stifle my freedom of speech, take away my right to express my opinion on the issue, even in a HEAT MANNER...give us a break, Dick Cheney said FUCK on the Senate Floor.

Deal with the criminals, including the scum who committed yesterdays atrocities, give him the death penalty, and carry it out, but do not use yesterday as an excuse to further curtail our American Civil Liberties, be it our freedom of speech, or our right to own and bear arms for self protection.

Today's Shooting a Precursor of Things to Come?

Six people dead, one a Federal Judge who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, another an innocent nine year old girl with her whole life ahead of her. A well liked and respected Congresswoman lays in the Critical Care unit fighting for her life, a bullet entering and exiting her skull at the hands of an angry, perhaps mentally unbalanced young man. Does not matter which news channel you are watching, the pundits are already lining up to spew forth their theories and worries to the great unwashed masses...it seems all of them, seems all the politicians are missing the point...the actions of this young man are nothing more than a symptom of a far greater cancer that is eating away at the fabric of our once Great Nation...America, and the American way are dying, and Washington DC, it's politicians are THE PROBLEM.

How many of us watched in shock as the Republicans held unemployment benefits, a 9/11 responders bill, and other important legislation up until tax cuts were given to millionaires and billionaires like Nan Hayworth and her husband? Who among us missed this week the brand new Congress take a test vote on repealing Obamacare, playing politics, positioning themselves for 2012 instead of dealing with a very real fact...almost 20 percent of Americans are either out of work, or under employed, and if you believe the news, things are not going to get any better until at least 2015!

Somewhere between 12-20 million illegal aliens (criminals) have infested our communities, are threatening our AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE, and what is our Federal government doing about it? Offering these criminals amnesty, allowing them to keep our jobs while we are submitted to full body scans and searches every time we want to fly somewhere. Illegal aliens are stealing jobs, there are 7.5 million illegal aliens working, while over 16 million Americans are out of work, and one of the hardest hit groups is YOUNG PEOPLE...young people like the one who today gunned down 19 people, killing six of them, mortally wounding at least five others...

Yet listen to your news channel...there is no introspection going on with our politicians in the nation's capital...instead, there is outrage that someone, anyone dared attacked them. I do not condone the actions of this vile man who committed what is political assassination, but I am not going to be so naive that I assume his act exists within a vacuum...today's violence needs to be a wake up call for our nation...it is time once again to get back to the basic premise of self preservation, "America First", and that means our politicians need too lock their doors to the special interest lobbyists of K Street, it means ENFORCING OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS, rather than calling for an immigration reform that includes Amnesty for up to 20 million criminals. It means standing up to Mexico, and CLOSING OUR BORDER tight, using where necessary military troops. It means ending the war in Afghanistan that we simply cannot afford to fight.

It means we as citizens need to stand up and be heard through our words, and yes our actions. If you have allowed illegal aliens to cut your grass, clean your home, or care for your kids, hand them their walking papers. If you go into a store, and all the items you want are made in China, go up to the store manager and tell him you will NO LONGER BUY ANYTHING THAT IS MADE IN, OR COMES FROM CHINA...China relies on America for 43 percent of its sales to the world....we need to bring that figure down to under 20 percent.

We as a nation need to stop our slide down into Anarchy, and that slide can only be stopped when our laws MEAN SOMETHING, when our politicians represent WE THE PEOPLE instead of corporate interests. Today's tragic events that have claimed the lives of so many innocent people needs to serve as a wake up call for all Americans. We have the power to take back our nation from dishonest and corrupt politicians, we have the power to bring jobs back to America, and we have the power to evict those here illegally, but it can only happen if we individually and in groups get involved to effect change.

One person not buying goods made in China will not effect change, will not bring China in line, force them to play on a level playing field...but one MILLIONS OF US refuse to buy goods made in China, American businesses will quickly get a clue...ask yourselves how well all those cheap goods have served you in the long run? Demand goods made and produced in America, and our GOOD PAYING JOBS will return. Stop hiring illegal aliens, stop frequently businesses and service providers that use illegal aliens, and THEY WILL GET A CLUE...it is criminal that over 60 percent of America's (as example) are illegal aliens. Demand that your politicians immediate FAST TRACK FULL AND MANDATORY USE OF E-VERIFY for all current and future employees....this will SHUT DOWN THE JOBS MAGNET.

Every event has a before and a after....

Let us not waste today's spilled blood, but instead use this tragic event as a rally point from which we can return America to it's proper position as the number one nation in the entire world.
