Today, April 15, otherwise known as Tax Day, was an overwhelming success as hundreds gathered in thousands of places across the country to protest taxes and so much more. I attended two rallies in Virginia, one in Gloucester, where we had about 200 patriots attend despite cold, rainy weather in the middle of the day. The second one was this evening in Richmond, where about 5,000 patriots were present. I heard from Ken Cuccinelli that there were about 1,500 patriots in Newport News.
Tim Kaine, a mistake of a governor in my book, spoke from his heart this afternoon, saying that he believes that the vast majority of Americans are in support of the Usurpent's tax and spend schemes. Can you believe it? Yes, you can! He's a brown-nosing Usurpent groupie, for crying out loud! He's tied for twenty-fifth for the position of Chief Minion.
The Usurpent also doubts our conservative views as being in the majority; after all, 150,000,000 Americans received a tax cut this year, putting "$150,000,000,000 back into their pockets". Oh, I see, those folks got an extra $1,000 so they should be happy. They couldn't possibly want more of their own income, right?
To Tim Kaine, I say "you're dead wrong." Between an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 people were involved today, taking off from work, driving out of their way, spending valuable time that could have been alloted to something else, to protest you and your philosophy of enormous government. They were there, on fire, opposing you, the Usurpent, and all of your ilk, for adding to the oppression that has been created over the years.
Republicans and Democrats alike are guilty of all of this, as are we who vote because we place politicians like you in the power seat. This year will be different. In 2010, anyone who has been in office in Washington for longer than four years will be voted out. Term limits will be demanded by we, the people, and any potential reigns of terror like the Usurpent has today will end.

Attention World: We ARE a Christian Nation!
Strike Two! It's baseball season, so what better metaphor could be used to describe the Usurpent's perfomance to date?
Strike one was the uber-Rooseveltian bailout/stimulus/bailout spending spree. As I've mentioned before, we're still paying for FDR's programs. Add to that LBJ's crappy contributions, and--presto--real big debt! The over-the-top welfare bills delivered by the Usurpent have exponentially multiplied our burden beyond calculation. To a lesser extent, Republicans are to blame as well. Suffice it to say that if the world is still spinning three (one, five, ten--you pick) centuries from now, that generation will be paying for all this free stuff.
Strike two comes this week, following the Usurpent's claim to Turkey and the rest of the world that the U.S. is not a Christian nation. Combine this statement with his full bow to Saudi Arabian King Abdullah, a Muslim, and it seems to me that the Usurpent is facing a tall left-handed pitcher who has one mean knuckle ball. Timing is everything, too, as the statement was made during Holy Week, a time of religious observation for Jews and Christians. Kosher CocaCola, by the way, has been popular with both groups this week.
The Usurpent calls us a "nation of citizens". Brilliant. I wish I had gone to Harvard so I could come up with that one. So who else is a nation of citizens? Every other country, so I surmise his meaning to be that there is nothing that sets America apart from any other country, especially members of the G20.
What about the very foundation of our country?! What were the beliefs of our patriot forefathers? On what basis do we have freedom? From Whom does it originate? How many people have died to maintain American values? These are the very things that absolutely separate us from the rest of the world, and our Usurpent is tossing them into the gutter. That's not very green of him.
Our nation was founded, by and large, by Christians, who applied Judaeo-Christian values to our system of government. In our representative democracy where the majority rules (present Judiciary in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Iowa, and Vermont excepted), 83% of Americans claim to be Christian. Based on these two facts, let me be clear to the rest of the world that the United States IS a Christian nation.
We have tolerance here for other religions and other points of view, just as we have tolerance for Socialism and an incompetent leader. Nonetheless, we have hope that those of other religions will come to believe in our God (in Whom we trust), and may I say that I also hope that one day Conservatism will change the face of government.

Happy Easter
It is 2:17 a.m. Good Friday morning. I had an epiphany on Palm Sunday and it has been keeping me awake tonight, so I thought I'd share it with you.
I've only been following politics heavily since 1980 when I was given the privilege to vote for the first time, so my personal experience starts there. I remember when Bill (MFN status to China!) Clinton was elected the first time, and how incredibly stupid 43% of Americans were. I questioned how in the world was it possible that such a man could be elected to the Office of President, particularly when we knew so much about him in advance! His second win really floored me, and I draped our house on Main Street with black cloth. No, really, I did; but it gained no attention except from my sympathetic friends.
Years later, vox populi Americani cry out for the Usurpent, a man who probably isn't a U.S. citizen and who associated himself with the worst possible people; folks like Wright and Farakan and groups like ACORN. I had that unanswered question from '96 hovering over me still, until Palm Sunday last week.
Not quite two thousand years ago, the people showered praise on the greatest man who ever lived, Jesus Christ. They welcomed Him with hosannahs ('Huzzah' we might say today) and laid palm branches along the dusty road for He and his trusty colt, a donkey no less, to tread upon. They bowed to Him, calling Him their king, believing Him to be the Savior of their people and, perhaps, the world. On that day, the people were smart as well as being correct.
Less than a week later, many of those same Jesus fans turned against Him to the point of wanting to kill Him. Governor Pilate asked, "What shall I do with this man, Jesus?" The vox populi responded, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!" Because the hand of God was in this bittersweet, no -- horribly beautiful -- event, Jesus prevailed and lives today, indeed, as the Savior of the world.
So, in this light, when I have asked, "How can this be?!" grieving about some political race, a mere blip on the radar screen of history, the answer is simple: Generally speaking, people are smart, but they lose their intelligence when they are led astray. People get caught up in the moment and become distracted by faulty logic and poor reasoning. At first, they feel euphoria, followed by strength and security, then somehow that morphs into self-righteousness, selfishness, and greed. In short, love is blind and people have been tripping down the steps of bad judgment as long as they have lived on earth. Question answered.
Jesus was a sacrifice as part of God's ultimate plan of salvation for believers in the world, so, as it turns out, the vox populi got it right back then. The Usurpent, however, is asking America to sacrifice herself at the altar of global unity. This may be a part of God's plan as we approach the end of the world as we know it, but, in the name of what is good and right that is the American way, we should be fighting tooth and nail to rid ourselves of this whole administration and Congress.
America bless God.

Royalty, Gadgets, and No Clue
Let's see, during the first visit by England's Prime Minister to the White (?) House, the Usurpent gave a gift of DVDs. Now, while he's talking stuff and nonsense in Europe, the Usurpent gave Queen Elizabeth II an iPod. My wife told me he did earlier this evening, but I didn't believe her. I didn't think anyone could be that vulgar twice, but, sho' nuff, ABC and others reported it tonight.
How disrespectful can this man be? The iPod video player has coverage of her own visit here in 2007 that she probably already has, plus coverage of campaign speeches, his "Inaugural Address", and a long list of show tunes from most major american plays. Whatever.
If he was insistant upon providing the Queen with something that reflected our new culture, why didn't he just buy her some hair pomade and a do rag, or perhaps a dog collar autographed by Michael Vick? I do have the perfect gift for the Usurpent: a DVD (signed by me) of the movie "Clueless".
Obama disgusts me and I'm embarassed to have him say that he represents me or any other American. He must be removed from office.
