Right now I'm spending a lot of time clinging to my religion and my guns and an antipathy toward people who hate America.
We as a nation cannot wait another four years to see some progress in the right direction. And we need more people to be involved with the way the country is being run. It's supposed to be a government of the people and we as a people must remind the people we elect of that at every opportunity. Each elected official is a servant to the people who elected him. If your servant errs, admonish him. If he errs again, replace him.
I want to meet the errant members of our servant government so that I can take a stick to them.They work for us. They are not our leaders nor our directors; they are by no means our masters. But as long as the people allow the select few who claim to represent us make all the decisions--as long as we the people hand over to them our rights and our freedoms and our responsiblities as Americans, they will grow in power and we will have no voice, no say, no rights, no freedom and no chance."The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Thomas Jefferson
