You Said That Because???

I have always been a Conservative.  I don't ever remember being anything else.  While my 2 brothers and my sister performed antics all over the neighborhood growing up, I was the one who cleaned up the messes and took care of the responsibilities we had in the family.  Maybe, that's why I got involved in Blog Talk Radio and created the show Southern Sense.

I am still running around the neighborhood trying to fix the messes, only this time it's the messes we allowed to occur because we didn't speak out enough.  In the past I wrote editorials, letters to elected officials, government offices and placed calls.  Two years ago, I co-founded the Beaufort Tea Party in South Carolina.   It was not enough, so I created this Blog, joined Twitter and Facebook.

Because of the Internet social networks, I started to get my voice heard, figuratively speaking, and met wonderful and new people.  Yet, I still felt it wasn't enough.  Today, I host, 2 days a week, the Blog Talk Show, Southern Sense as well as remaining active in local affairs, without becoming a politician.  On that matter, I promised my Momma, I would clean sewers first, before that happened!

Activism begins at the grass-root level.  You have to be passionate about an issue, whether it's adhering to the Constitution or the actions of your local council.  From the bottom up, I have found my voice has made some difference.  To begin with, the State Legislature wanted to modify the Handicap Parking Permits that hang from your car rear view mirror and place your photo exposed to anyone walking by.  I fought them and today, the photo is hidden and upon request of a law enforcement officer, can be shown to prove the person in the car is the actual permit holder and it's not being used fraudulently.  My argument was that any criminal can see a handicap permitted car and see an easy prey.  They only need to match the person to the photo and lay in wait for their intended victim.  I won.

Today, I am battling our local council to create a friendlier business environment that will create jobs, attract business and improve our local economy.  You have to start somewhere.

My point is, don't just sit back and trust someone else to take up the battle standard.  Step forward and choose your fight carefully, determine what your goal is and what compromises you'll accept.  You have to start with what you care the most about and use all of the resources available, be it print media, the Internet or the TV & Radio media.  Make your voice count! I have!

Libturd Attacks Tea Party

An anonymous person emailed me several days ago, after my editorial appeared in the Gazette.  They wrote: “I will be attending the Tea Party Rally on Sept. 12. I will be looking to see if the Tea Party representatives and speakers will be speaking to solutions to our nations problems and not be apart of the problem. I will not be looking for gripes, complaints, anti-Obama or racial placards.”

My response to QUEBILL@aol.com was: “You are most welcome to join us, however we will not restrict FREE speech.  It is not the responsibility of those who are part of the Tea Party movement to create "solutions".  It is our responsibility to make our voices heard to elected officials and candidates so they may form solutions.  It is our responsibility to seek out individuals who can lead us out of the quagmire both parties lead us into and support them in their efforts.

We do not tolerate racism and will continue to battle it as we did throughout the civil rights movement, which without us would have been even longer in occurring.

It it odd you did not sign your name!

In other words, the type of people who populate the Tea Party movement are the same foot soldiers who fought the Revolutionary War, who supported the Abolitionist movement of the Civil War And who stood shoulder to shoulder throughout the Civil Rights era fighting for equality.  Ordinary American Patriots fighting extra-ordinary battles, while being publicly derided and mis-represented.

We seek out capable and honest people who support the foundation of this nation, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.  It is our duty and responsibility to find leaders with wisdom, courage and common sense to formulate solutions and implement them.  We seek out organizations that espouse the Tea Party principles to help form solutions and support these leaders, such as the CATO Institute and the Heritage Foundation.

Look around you and what do you see?  The average Joe.  The everyday American. A sleeping giant that was poked into action by irresponsible actions of our government. 

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. —    

That to secure these rights, Gov’ts are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,”

Our fore fathers knew the extent and limits of our tolerance & when  pushed to a certain point, “We The People” would be moved to action.  They knew that those of us that have the ability to take action, have the absolute responsibility to act.”

It was President Andrew Jackson who said, “One man with courage makes a majority”   Well, We are the Majority and Silent No Longer!

Now, QUEBILL@aol.com, before I introduce our guest speakers, I’ll leave you with one final thought. It was the Renaissance Author Dante who said, “the hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in a time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”

You cannot silence us with your disinformation and veiled threats.  We will be Silent No Longer!

Open Invite To All Politicians!

Open Letter To All Politicians

This is an open invitation to all elected officials, as well as current and past candidates to attend the 1st Anniversary 9/12 Rally by the Beaufort Tea Party, this Sunday at 1pm at the Waterfront Park.  We always encourage you to attend our rallies!  In our first rally last year on July 4th, we made the error of allowing politicians to speak and did not give the people a voice.  Since then, in the subsequent rallies, we remedied that error and only allow those who speak not be politicians.  We have been pleasantly surprised at the words and wisdom of the voters who spoke.

We whole heartily welcome you to attend and listen to what "We The People" have to say.  As a “grass-roots” movement, that has united a silent majority into a political force that is slowly changing the face of politics and policy, we encourage you to listen.  Feel free to press the flesh and kiss the babies.

Our members do not care what political party you are with.  If you think this is only directed to Conservatives or Republicans, think again!  The invitation is open to all politicians.  We would like to commend some of those who have attended all of our events, stood in the crowd, listening and answering, one on one: Mayor Billy Keyserling, City Councilwoman Donnie Beer, County Councilman Paul Sommerville, and State Representative Shannon Erickson.  Thank you, we look forward to seeing you this Sunday!

More Americans Believe Obama is Muslim & Socialist!

What Americans have not seen, nor has been reported, catering to a specific religion’s legal tenets did not start with just the Muslim Religion. As a police officer in NYPD in the Williamsburg and East New York areas of Brooklyn, I witnesses Hasidim Courts taking precedent over our legal system in the 1980′s and 1990′s.

This, I feel had opened the door for Sharia Law gaining a foothold in America. The difference between the two is that Hasdic Laws only affected those of the Jewish Hasidim Orthodox religion. Radical Islam wants Sharia Law to apply to all Americans.

Progressive Judges in Blue States continually ignore the Constitutional Federal and State laws and bend to the creeping Sharia into our legal system and noted in recent news items. Blend into that the knowledge that President Obama was taught in an Islamic School in Indonesia the Islamic faith and Sharia Law.   Take into consideration that every time he travels to a Muslim country, he does not bring his wife, which under that faith is prohibited.  Remember President Obama bowing to the Saudi King, the defacto leader of the Islamic faithful in that country?  Or shall we mention the canceling of the "National Prayer Service Breakfast".  but the allowance of the Muslim Prayer Day in the Washington Mall?

His appearances and performance in visiting Mosques and Islamic audiences should be looked at carefully. To put the proverbial “fork” into the matter, take into consideration his flimsy statements pertaining to the planned “Ground Zero” mosque.  Would he not have served the American people better if he had stated in his speech, “That although Iman Rauf has the Constitutional right to build his mosque on the congregations property, we ask that he considers the moral right he and his congregation have to honor the American sacred ground of the tragedy of the 9/11 terror attacks, the close to 3000 victims, their family and the voice of the American people. We urge the Iman to enter into talks with the City and State of New York to find an alternative site for the wonderful multi-cultural center.”

The building that is to be the new mosque has never been searched for victims of the 9/11 attacks and was the site where the plan’s landing gear crashed through. It is part of Ground Zero and no one knows how many unclaimed remains are yet to be found inside.

To add to the Muslim leanings of this administration, we must call into consideration the questionable background and associations of Iman Rauf. Several watchdog groups have uncovered areas that warrant further investigation. These watchdog groups urged caution when the State Department hired Iman Rauf to make a 5 Mid-East nation tour. Rauf refuses to denounce Hamas and Hezbollah.
Although President Obama attended Reverend Wrights radical church, he has yet shown where he was Baptized as a Christian.

As for his Socialist beliefs? One only has to read his two books, listen to his numerous lectures and pre-Presidential election speeches. Need I remind anyone of the “Joe the Plumber” encounter of “spreading the wealth”? Add into the pot the numerous appointments to his cabinet, federal agencies and the Supreme Court? Can we say “Van Jones”?

During the Presidential Democratic Primary race between Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama, a certain talk show radio host mounted the “Stop Hillary Train”. At that time, I repeatedly screamed at the radio and wrote to this host’s show, that he didn’t know just what type of Pandora’s Box he was opening. We knew the lesser devil we would get, should Hillary get elected, we then were only to begin to learning the of the potential devil we now have ended up with as President.

Who Would You Vote For President In 2012???

912 and We The People

The World Trade Center, also known as the Twin Towers, in New York City was attacked not once, but twice by Muslim terrorists.  None can forget September 11,2001, but the first time, was February 26, 1993.
It was a snowy morning and I was in uniform, on duty as a New York City Police Officer.  Shorty before the attack, I had broken my shoulder and was stuck to desk bound duty.  When the bomb went off, and before the teletype or radio called for re-enforcements, citywide, we knew it was bad.  Like a dumb rock, I could only monitor the radio and help cover the phones as frightened people, friends and family members called us.
Current New York City Police Department PBA President Patrick Lynch was the Community Affair’s Officer of our command, the 90th Precinct in Brooklyn, NY.  He and several other community officers rushed to the scene within moments of the bomb’s detonation and worked the emergency response before the city-wide call went out from emergency dispatch for assistance.
On 9/11, 2001, I was already retired and living in the south, when we were attacked the second time.  It was never in doubt, that before the second plane hit that Police Officer Lynch and others just like him were responding to the Towers and active in the rescue efforts.
They, not me, are the heroes!  They deserve your thanks.  I only hope, what I have created in this video helps give them and you a voice.

Why HR 3200 and SEIU Should Scare You

Why SEIU & HR 3200
Should
Scare You

Few people have fully read the House Bill HR 3200 and even fewer understand it. Inside the bill are lots of goodies aimed at pandering to special interest including the Service Employees International Union, SEIU and ACORN. On the SEIU website they describe themselves:

“... the fastest-growing union in North America. Focused on uniting workers in three sectors to improve their lives and the services they provide, SEIU is: The largest healthcare union, with more than 1.1 million members in the field, including nurses, LPNs, doctors, lab technicians, nursing home workers, and home care workers. The largest property services union, with 225,000 members in the building cleaning and security industries, including janitors, security officers, superintendents, maintenance workers, window cleaners, and doormen and women. The second largest public services union, with more than 1 million local and state government workers, public school employees, bus drivers, and child care providers” Totaling over 2.325 million members.


SEIU has been picketing and confronting Town Hall meetings and anti-Health Care rallies, with the intent of forcing HR 3200 into passage. With the passage of HR 3200 the rank and file of SEIU will more than triple overnight and continue to expand as all facets of the bill are implemented. Written into the bill on page 897 is Section 2231 titled “Public Health Workforce”, which establishes the “Public Health Workforce Corps” and is “for the purpose of ensuring an adequate supply of public health professionals..... shall consist of such officers of the Regular and Reserve Corps ... and such civilian employees...”

In one swell swoop SEIU will gain members from a para-military “Public Health Workforce Corps”, from doctors and nurses to the janitor working in private and public medical facilities, health insurance providers and any educational facility. HR 3200 in Sections 2511 and 399Z-1 establishes a school-based “health” clinics. These clinics will provide educational services as well as medical, mental health and dental services during and after school hours. In essence schools will also become 24 hour community health clinics, staffed by SEIU members.

In the ultimate of government intrusion, Section 2521 establishes the “National Medical Device Registry” which will be the central collector of any “implantable” devices. Anything implanted such as birth control devices, cosmetic augmentations, joint replacements, pace makers, hernia patches and far beyond will be in this registry. Included in the registry is the serial number of the implant and the patients personal identification and financial data.

SEIU is not the only big beneficiary of HR3200, ACORN and it’s associated arms have their fingers in the bill. Community based organizations were awarded with monitoring, administrating and evaluating dozens of sections in the bill. The most astounding area is the use of community based organizations is Section 1904, titled “Home Visitation Program” wherein “well-trained staff” will come to your home to “provide parents with age-appropriate knowledge of development in cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains ... knowledge of realistic expectations of age-appropriate child behaviors ... skills to interact with their child...”. Essentially, they will moniter and instruct you on how to raise and interact with your child. For other home visits by community based organizations, HR 3200 in Section 1302 establishes the “Community-Based Home Medical Services” which will provide home based medical and educational services to you. Initially it is set up for rural areas and has provisions to be expanded as the CHMS determines is needed. The CHMS will provide medical services, monitor your progress, educate you on healthy behavior (i.e. - diet, exercise, personal habits) and determine your compliance with their recommendations.

Section 1193, the “GAO Evaluation Of Data Collection Process For Quality Measurement” sets the standard for your medical treatment. This is carried into Section 1142, where “Quality” is based upon gender, age, race and place of residence. Uniting these two areas of HR 3200 is Section 1143, “Multi-Stakeholder Pre-Rulemaking Input”. The MPI will provide “provide recommendations on the selection of individual or composite quality measures...” meaning they will determine the level of your care. It will comprise “a voluntary collaborative of organizations representing persons interested in or affected by the use of such quality measure...” such as medical personnel and community based organization, like ACORN.

Beyond the liberal use of ACORN type organizations HR 3200 will restrict and regulate other programs that target the neediest among us, such as Special-needs persons. Section 1177 is titled “Extension Of Authority Of Special Needs Plans To Restrict Enrollment” is an extension of the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. Through various groups, including ACORN, this is designed to “through a contract with an independent health services evaluation organization, for an analysis of the plans described in paragraph (1) with regard to the impact of such plans on cost, quality of care, patient satisfaction..” Services to Special-Needs will be “restricted” or rationed.

HR 3200 is only one of three Health Care Plans proposed in the House of Representatives. In the Senate there are two bills currently under consideration. The Kennedy Health Care Act has 615 pages and an additional 300 pages, not yet released. Several Republican Senators have proposals in committee, including Senator Tom Rice (GA) and Senator Jim DeMint (SC). The Health Care debate is heating up and when the fight is over, there most likely be many bruised and battered members of congress licking their wounds and limping home.
