“It may well be that our means are fairly limited and our possibilities restricted when it comes to applying pressure on our government. But is this a reason to do nothing? Despair is nor an answer. Neither is resignation. Resignation only leads to indifference, which is not merely a sin but a punishment.” …Elie Wiesel

“The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” …Plato

Silence Implies Agreement

February 23rd, 2009 | Category: Politics, I couldn't agree more

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke)

I am getting the impression that my family is ready to stick a tin foil hat on my head and shove me into a corner. I don’t think they believe that America is truly in as much trouble as I do NOW, not years from now. Or, that they believe that we peons can do anything about it.

I believe it’s true that the economic decisions being made today will continue to be paid for by our kids, grandkids, and their kids. But I am afraid that will be least of their worries if something isn’t done to stop our meteoric hurtle towards fascism.

When the self ordained messiah signed the stimulus bill in Colorado and the housing bill in Arizona, there were peaceful demonstrations protesting the massive spending these bills will entail. Did you hear about that?

High school students laughed at what was being promoted. They could see right through the rhetoric and lies. Unfortunately, tears would have been a better response as they will be saddled with the bill for years to come. Did you hear about that?

Maybe we should all cry tears because some high school students are smarter than our President. Except that I think he knows exactly what he is doing.

If it takes the government’s hands reaching deep into our pockets to make us get off our collective duffs and make our voices heard, then I say go for it. I am not so cynical that I don’t believe that they aren’t heard. Power is the name of the game here and they don’t want to lose it. For now we hold that power in our hands. Barely.

There are peaceful demonstrations being planned all over the country. One is in my own backyard.

Michelle Malkin is listing some of the locations on her blog. Tea Party

Then this morning I read an article written by the editorial staff of the Augusta Chronicle .

It may be said that the meek shall inherit the earth but, by golly, it’s the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.

I get all kinds of “atta boys” when I send email, faxes, and telephone calls to my Senators and Representatives, both state and federal, expressing my opinions.
But, when I suggest that it might be prudent that we attend our local demonstration, what I am getting is a condescending smile or the eqivalent to a pat on the head.

I am a firm believer that silence implies agreement.

Does anyone remember them?

My husband has been busy the last few days building organizer systems for both our closets. In the process, he found some old photos he had tucked away. This one was taken on our honeymoon in New Orleans.

Spring is here

“I would rather bikini wax a sensitive and livid grizzly sow than be a “tolerant bipartisan” toward the bloated government, pro-death, anti-free market, crap on traditional values, socialism squared, nanny state policies Obama has floated in the last few days.” ….Doug Giles
