Flag Yourself!

There is a grass roots movement by conservatives to stand up to what the government is doing. The movement, ourcountrypac, is asking conservatives to flag yourself to the government via email.

Here is the text from their website:

Barack Obama’s propaganda game didn’t end with his campaign for president in 2008. The official White House website, paid for with your tax dollars, is urging Americans to report any actions by opponents of his socialistic plan, noting that, “…rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation.”

They’ve set up an email where you can report on the actions of these opponents that might seem, “fishy” — the email address is: flag@whitehouse.gov

So let’s help them out, shall we? Let’s overwhelm this with emails from ourselves, turning OURSELVES in for being opposed to this disastrous healthcare plan.

Send your email to: flag@whitehouse.gov and ask your friends to do the same.

Explain that the REAL fishiness is efforts by Obama, Pelosi and Reid to try to remake this country and the principles of freedom, liberty and the opportunity for success that it was founded on.

Let the people Obama staffers reading the emails at flag@whitehouse.gov know how much we will fight their efforts to have government dictate our healthcare decisions, or what kind of car we drive, or where we are allowed to work, or how much we’re allowed to make, etc…

We here at the Our Country Deserves Better Committee have “turned ourselves in” to the White House. We invite you to do the same, and ensure that this effort backfires on them.

P.S. Be sure to join us August 28 – September 12 for the “Tea Party Express” and the grand finale “March on Washington” on 9/12.

I have flagged myself. The following is the email I sent:

To whom it may concern,

The real fishiness here is Obama, Pelosi and Reed asking neighbors to spy on each other. Just a reminder, no matter how much you want this to be a socialist nation, this is STILL the United Stated of America! This isn't the USSR, North Korea, Cuba, or China. Get it through your thick skulls please.

Myself, along with millions of Americans are going to fight your government controlled health care. We will never shop GMC again. We will continue to oppose you buying out banks and not allowing them to repay government loans.

In addition, myself along with uncountable others are starting a drive to impeach Obama and throw out every socialist in congress.

The journey is just beginning.

PS - When will we ever see the long form of the birth certificate? What does Obama have to hide?

Sincerely,

Philip L. Damon Jr.

Will you join us?

Abortion is Murder, no if's and's or but's. Obama needs to be impeached, not only for this, but for everything else he is doing to our country!

More on that tomorrow.

A Sampling of Today's Voters

Just in case you were wondering how we got a screwed up government, maybe this is a little clue?

I'm profoundly confident with the quality of adults our schools are releasing into our nation these days!

The Difference Between Christians & Muslims

Some people just have no respect for religious beliefs!

First, there were cartoons of the prophet Mohammad published in Danish newspapers. The result of which caused an outrage in the Muslim community with mass rioting, protests, threats, and the seizing of an EU office.

Now Somalia has found itself having to deal with a scourge of Christians. Thankfully, the Muslims are up to the task by capturing the vermin and beheading them.

The Palestinians are having a similar problem as well but are working diligently to cleanse the filth from their lands.

Pakistani Muslims are also working hard for religious freedom.

However, an outrage of outrages has happened! Someone dared to question the True Faith and instead converted to Christianity! Thankfully, some kind souls sought reconciliation and discussion of the tragedy in the hopes that peace and understanding will continue.

After all, we all know that Christians are nothing but blood thirsty terrorists who will attack, persecute and in as many ways as possible harm those who do not share their religious beliefs.

Oh, as a side note, an article at Breitbart.com has brought to light the desecration of a Bible at Glasgow's gallery of Modern Art. I know, it's probably not even worth mentioning.

Artist Jane Clarke, a minister at the Metropolitan Community Church, asked visitors to annotate the Bible with stories and reflections, as a way of making it more inclusive.

But visitors to the gallery took the invitation a bit further than she had anticipated.

"This is all sexist pish, so disregard it all," wrote one person, while another described the Bible as "the biggest lie in human history" and a third wrote: "Mick Jagger and David Bowie belong in here."

A Tribute to Cops

In a New York Times article by Robert D. McFadden, we are made aware of an incident that happened in New Jersey where 5 cops were shot, two critically.

Thomas J. Comey, the Jersey City police chief, said of the gunman, Hassan A. Shakur, 32, "This individual came fully ready to go to war with us.” Mr. Shakur was killed, along with his companion, Amanda Anderson, 22. The chief said the assailant’s weapon, a pump-action 12-gauge shotgun with a retractable stock and a sling lined with slotted shells, was “a gun meant for nothing other than to hunt a man.”

You either love them or hate them, there's really no middle ground. Most who hate them are either caught doing something wrong, or fear that there are abusers out there that will take away their freedom. Those who love them have learned to do so when cops arrived to save lives.

True, there's the stories of abuse - there is one recently that comes once again from the infamous Cobb county police where they shot and killed an unagressive dog just one day before its first birthday, and also stories about a police chief being upset because people are using internet phone technology to avoid speed traps. The chief calls then "cowardly tactics." I have my own personal views about speed traps and don't like them. For me, speed traps are unconstitutional and just a way to pad the town/county/states' pockets.

That being said, we do have some abuses and there are some petty police officers out there. Yet, I'd say 99.9% of our active police are above all that, and they do their job not because they're on "power trips," but because they want to protect and defend.

The other night I was watching the latest Die Hard movie, "Live Free or Die Hard," and in it Bruce Willis who plays the role of a detective was asked a question. He was asked, "Then why do you do it?" the question was in response to how hard his life was as a police officer. Bruce Willis'
character responded by saying, "Because no one else will."

I think that's the mindset of most cops, the mindset of most heroes. They don't do it because they enjoy being hated, putting their lives on the line every day, and risking divorce from their loved ones (being a cop, they have a very high divorce rate). They do it because no one else will. Quite simply, they are heroes.

I have the particular honor to be good friends with one. I've been able to see through her the human side of what it means to be a cop. My two Tae Kwon Do instructors when I was a teen were cops. One was a sergeant, and the other an officer. The officer worked undercover. He'd come in some days unshaven and looking "rough" to fit in with the criminals he was working against. His job was extremely dangerous. So was the Sargeant's job. Yet they kept on doing those jobs anyway.

Most people don't know or don't understand that cops have it very hard in the social arena. They usually stick together because non-cops simply don't understand, or the cops feel ostracized by the community they swore to protect.

You simply don't become a cop because you're interested in being at the top of a "popularity" contest.

I still feel the grip of terror when I see a cop behind me in my rear-view mirror. I don't like it. I don't like being pulled over, and I don't like dealing with cops in that sort of situation. Well to be blunt, who does? Yet, I am also glad that I do have that issue to deal with because that means that there are men and women out there protecting our freedom, our rights, our privacy, our property, and our very lives because "no one else will." A patrol officer is just doing his or her job - protecting the public and trying to keep the roads safe.

All I ask is that when you read the negative news about cops (which is mostly what the media posts), remember that there are cops multiplied over a thousand times who do their job daily, dieing daily, getting wounded daily to keep you free. Keep stories like this in mind where a bunch of New Jersey cops were faced with a mad man and a shot gun who was determined to bring down some cops with him. Remember that they're human, just like you and I. They're doing their job because "no one else will."

So cops, my hat is off to you, and with all of my heart I say, "Thank you!"
