As Tom Petty once sang...

I won't back down.

No, I won't back down. Seriously. What am I not backing down from? The positions I take on the issues that are facing our nation as I type this. I am fired up. More fired up than the SEC cheerleaders can get a sold out stadium during the Iron Bowl fired up. I have this passion and desire that burns deep within me. There are so many things going oh so wrong and for so long you and me have sat on the sidelines just waiting for someone else to make a difference. We as a country have become apathetic to the problems that surround us. No more. I am not sure where things are heading for me but I am getting ready to become actively involved in something that I hope can make a difference in my life and my childrens lives.

I have sat by this past week and heard the Sotomayor hearings and they make me sick. This is not and I repeat not about partisian politics. I have laid my Republican identifier down and I am purely a conservative. Party labels do not concern me but the positions on issues does. that being said I honestly don't think that politicians have the ability to do anything for those of us who voted them in but I still support those based on fiscally and socially conservatives.

So Sotomayor will be a shoo in as a Supreme Court judge. This is a slap in the face to our founding fathers who gave up their lives for our freedom. This is a lady who has no use for the laws and the constitution but instead believes that it is her job to legislate from the bench and not to interpret the constitution. This is someone who has claimed to have mispoken on more than 7 occassions the same thing but oh no, we shouldn't believe what she claimed to believe in those 7 speeches, she just misspoke each time. It's hog wash. She's putting on a show and she's sticking to her script because she knows she's got it.

This is a lady who practices descrimination not only in her personal life from the words she has spoken but also in her personal profession. This is a person who descriminated not only against whites but hispanics. I would like to know what test would have questions that were on there that made the test descriminatory to blacks. Seriously, what questions would be biased to whites/hispanics? To me that's insulting the blacks. That's saying that they are to stupid to pass a test without having a grading curve in there. It's disgusting and makes me want to vomit.

This is a lady who doesn't just believe that emmiment domain is for the government to take YOURS and MY properties but ruled as an appellate judge that it is okay for a governing body to take OUR property and give it to private enterprise. So just think of that while you're sitting all cozy in your house. Nope that's not your local government trying to take your property to widen a road; they are there to take it to give to some big business that will use your property for their own gain and I'm sure someone in the county will have been paid along the way to make it possible.

The sad realization is that this is only the beginning. She will be voted in to the highest court in the land and will be there for life. This is a slap in the face to our founding fathers. This is a slap in the face for anyone who has given their life for our freedom.

On the other hand we have this disgustingly smug man who pretends to run the country while he's out galavanting across the world. I mean seriously. Shouldn't he be required to at least spend 1 day a week in the office? Wait... maybe that'd only make things worse. He's been going around the world and has still managed to put together these country changing bills into play. The wonderful Cap 'n Trade passed the house which I pray to God that it doesn't go any farther. This is one bill that is the largest tax increase we have ever had as a nation.

He has now decided to go and screw with health care. I wonder if he will even say anything regarding the congressional budget office that came out this week, after studying the bill, and said that if this is passed within 10 years the country will go 289 BILLION DOLLARS in debt from it. The only way to cut this cost is to #1 raise taxes yet again or #2 start reducing the care to Americans. Your sick and dying? Oh gosh darn, you were only going to live another 10 years any way, we're just going to curtail your prescriptions and curtail your life span.

I am not an eloquent typist. I don't always formulate my thoughts together in the best way or the most understandable way but I am on fire. I have a passion deep in my soul. If something is not done then my children and your's will pay for the mistakes of these evil men we have elected.

I encourage you to read Glenn Beck's new book "Common Sense" and then I urge you to read Thomas Paine's "Common Sense". If you look at what Thomas Paine wrong those 2oo and something odd years ago what he was going through is eerily similar. Our freedoms are being taken away from us. Somethings congress can change over the course of a few terms but the changes that are being made right now are not easily undone. They will be here and impact us for a lifetime.

So for all of you who sit back and don't like the way things are heading please don't sit back and just be apathetic towards this. Step up. Make your voice be heard. Be loud. Scream to the top of your lungs. Things will only change if We the People take back our nation.

God Bless America!
