"THE TIME HAS COME". THESE WORDS HAVE ROLLED OVER IN MY MIND SINCE I CAME HOME FROM THE VIET NAM WAR IN 1970. THEN, AS I LISTENED TO THE INNAUGURATION SPEECH OF OUR NEW PRESIDENT, HE UTTERED THE SAME PHRASE "THE TIME HAS COME". WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

 

IN ALL LIKELYHOOD, THE ANSWER IS DIFFERENT FOR EACH AMERICAN. "WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF EVIDENT," THE TIME HAS COME TO READ JAMES MADISON, THE WISDOM OF THOMAS JEFFERSON,"THE BILL OF RIGHTS" AND "THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES" TO OUR PRESIDENT AND ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTITIVES, THEIR STAFF'S, THE PRESIDENTS CABINET, THE FED, THEIR ARDENT SUPPORTERS, AND TO ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO USED THE CRY "WE WILL NOT MORTGAGE OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE". TO TELL THEM TRUTH IS BETTER THAN LIES, A SIMPLE MORAL HANDED DOWN TO US THROUGHOUT HISTORY BY OUR ANCESTORS. "THEY" HAVE SEEMED TO FORGET THESE THINGS AS THEY BECOME MORE POWERFUL, OR EVEN MORE TO THE POINT; ADDICTED TO AND CONSUMED BY POWER. THE TIME HAS COME TO REMIND "THEM" WHENCE THEIR POWER CAME. HOPEFULLY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BALLOT BOX AND NOT AT THE END OF A NEW REVOLUTION BY THE CITIZENS OF A TYRANICAL GOVERNMENT OVERLY INFLUENCED BY LOBBYISTS AND WALL STREET. TO TELL THEM THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ AND UNDERSTAND PROPOSED LEGISLATION BEFORE THEY VOTE TO MAKE IT THE LAW OF OUR LAND. THE TIME HAS COME TO TELL CONGRESS NOT TO SHUT DOWN THEIR PHONES AND E MAILS WHEN 94% OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS ARE TELLING THEM "BAILOUTS"  ARE NOT WHERE WE SHOULD LOOK FOR SALVATION IN THE FORM THEY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO READ.

 

THE TIME HAS COME TO ASK HARRY REID, NANCY PELOSI, CHARLEY RANGEL, BERNIE FRANK AND THE MAJORITY OF OTHERS TO RESIGN THEIR ELECTED POSTS AND REJOIN THEIR CONSTITUENTS, SO THEY CAN FEEL THE TRUE NATURE OF WHAT THEIR ACTIONS HAVE WRAUGHT ON ALL AMERICANS, NOW AND IN THE DISTANT FUTURE. "WE WILL NOT MORTGAGE OUR CHILDRENS FUTURE" WAS THE LIE YOU TOLD. IT IS THE LIE OF POLITICIANS WHO HAVE PAY RAISES,COMPLETE HEALTH CARE AND RETIREMENT PROGRAMS HARD WORKING AMERICANS COULD ONLY DREAM OF, VOTED FOR THEMSELVES, BY THEMSELVES. THE TIME HAS COME TO ASK ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS TO JOIN THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM AND TO PAY MEDICARE ALL OTHER TAXES IN THE SAME TIMELY MANNER AS THEY REQUIRE BY LAW ALL THE REST OF AMERICANS TO PAY. TO ASK THEM TO SACRIFICE FOR AMERICA THEMSELVES FOR A CHANGE.

 

THE TIME HAS COME TO TELL OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, ESPECIALLY, BUT NOT LIMITED TO WASHINGTON, D.C.,THAT TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO MAKE AMERICA WHOLE. TO TELL THE TRUTH. TO OTHERWISE DISCHARGE THEIR DUTIES IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF AMERICANS. TO HONOR AND TAKE CARE OF OUR VETERANS BY MORE THAN LIP SERVICE AND PROMISES SO OFTEN FORGOTTEN. YOU DO NOT NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR US, BUT RATHER TO US. SENATORS SUCH AS JOHN ENSIGN AND GOVENORS SUCH AS MARK SANFORD HAVE DISGRACED US. THE ELECTED ELITE HAVE DISMISSED US. WE UNDERSTAND FULLY YOUR ACTIONS ARE MORE THAN DIPLORABLE, UNCONSIONABLE AND AT TIMES UNCONSTITUTIONAL. YOU ARE DRUNK WITH POWER. IT IS NO WONDER THAT ALL THAT YOU WANT, ... ALL THAT YOU WANT IS ON THE FAST TRACK. THE 2010 ELECTION IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF PARTY, THE GOOD WILL FALL WITH THE CHAFF. NOONE IS BLAMELESS.

 

THE TIME HAS COME TO FIND OUT WHAT WE ARE MADE OF, AGAIN. WHAT DO WE MANUFATURE BESIDE BREAKFAST CEREAL. HELL, EVEN McDONALDS IS IMPORTING THEIR HAMBURGER PATTIES. ADDAX IS PRODUCING OIL IN IRAQ. THEY JUST WERE  BOUGHT OUT BY THE CHINESE. MY SON WILL BE IN IRAQ AT THE END OF THE MONTH AND MY NEPHEW CAME HOME RECENTLY WITH A PURPLE HEART.MY BEST FRIENDS SON SPENT TWO TOURS IN IRAQ, ARE WE NOW IN THE BUSINESS OF PROTECTING CHINESE OIL INTERESTS IN IRAQ WITH THE LIVES OF OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS? WHERE WILL"THEY"SEND OUR TROOPS AFTER AFGANISTAN?

HOME?

 

THE TIME HAS COME AGAIN TO PRAY FOR AMERICA AND AMERICANS IN HARMS WAY. AMERICA DOES NOT HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS TO ALL OF IT'S OWN PROBLEMS, LET ALONE THE ENDLESS SUPPLY THAT NEED SOLUTIONS IN THE REST OF THE WORLD. HOWEVER, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AMERICA AND AMERICANS ARE LOOKING FOR THEM EVERYWHERE POSSIBLE,TWENTY FOUR HOURS A DAY, AROUND THE BLUE MARBLE AND IN THE HEAVENS. TO OUR CREDIT, WE ARE THE MOST GENEROUS NATION IN THE WORLD. NOW, WE ARE CHALLENGED ECONOMICALLY IN A WAY THAT WE HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED IN A VERY LONG TIME. WE WILL SHINE AGAIN, WE WILL REBUILD, RE-INVENT AND RE-CAPTURE OUR SOUL. RIGHT NOW THOUGH, WE NEED TO CLEAN OUT OUR CLOSET.

 

THANK YOU, 

 

GOD BLESS AMERICA
