HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

A little late, but late is better than never!

The holidays took their toll on me this year…so much to do, so little time. But it’s now time to get back to commenting on a regular basis…with all the treachery and evil political chicanery going on in Washington and elsewhere…and try to make sense of the truly frightening things that are happening to and that are planned for our country.

Stop back because it looks like the “Liberty Clock” is overdue for an adjustment towards it’s inexorable swing towards midnight. I might be a tad delayed in my assessment of the liberty climate in the US, given all the backroom dealings and behind-closed-doors “deliberations” and deal making by our elected leaders. By all indications it appears that the average citizen is just a fifth wheel in the whole political process — we are useful idiots to be milked of our votes when the time is right and then we are faceless, angry miscreants when our ersatz representatives stab us in the front when they ignore our will and do what is perceived to be the best for their political party.

So, I’ll be back to my humble commentary for as long as the powers that be allow me to do so. Because I fear it’s come to that, and we are dangerously close to losing our God-given Constitutional rights in a torrent of “change.”

I hope I’m wrong as Americans are plucky, resilient people and they have a visceral sense of right and wrong, and many if not most cling to their rights because they realize how hard it is to retain them or get them back once they’ve been ceded to the government. The nascent Tea Party movement gives me hope that we still live among patriots, regardless of their treatment by the cruel and feckless mainstream media. (Perhaps 2010 is the perfect opportunity to relegate the ‘lamestream’ media to the ash heap of history. I intend to eschew the use of all mainstream media sources, with the shining exception of Fox News, this year. Frankly, I’m sick of being talked down at and lied to.)

Enough of my cheerfulness. It’s a new year and a new opportunity to put up the good fight. Because that is the ONLY way that we are going to retain our nation in a form that we can recognize from our past experiences.

With a good fight.

Happy New Year and God Bless America!
