It has been some time since I last posted.  I gots da swine flu coach, and had to take a trip for several work projects, but I am back.

Well, Happy INDEPENDENCE DAY (not 4th of July - that is a date, not the actual holiday).  As I sit here and write this, I can't help but ponder everything that has transpired over the last year or so.  Our liberties are becoming fewer and fewer (some by POTUS fiat, some by direct legislative tyranny, some by overpaid FEDGOV bureaucrats regulatory "power").  As I was driving back from my trip, I was listening to satellite radio (no other radio stations in far west Texas to speak of) and I couldn't help but take note at the tone of the conversations being broadcast.  People are becoming fed up with what is going on.  And I'm not talking about just "conservatives" or "Republicans" but people who voted for and supported this POTUS are becoming alarmed at the rate and scope at which BHO is reversing his campaign stances on everything from gays in the military, no taxes on the middle class, and his whole "most transparent administration in history" meme.  They are also alarmed at the rate in which he is bankrupting the country and devaluing the dollar.  Well some of you will disagree with the last two sentences, but the evidence is out there (I just don't care to take the time to link to it - I gotta get the ribs on the grill!).

There is now a growing and sustained push for a new American Independence - from the various state resolutions declaring state sovereignty under the 10th Amendment (10 actively being considered or already passed with a 10 additional states getting ready to introduce them) to outright calls for a new Constitutional Convention to amend the Constitution as it exists.  These are just a couple of legislative attempts to fix or at least curtail the FEDGOV's push for the Panopticon.  This doesn't even touch the various grassroots efforts - such as the "Tea Parties" being held across the nation today (yes NHB I told you I would put it in).  So if you are planning on attending, good for you.  If not, then at least celebrate a tea party of your own in your own way.  And stop to consider what is going on and how it can be fixed.  I don't normally advocate this (simply because I am not sure of the efficacy of it) but call your elected representatives (both federal AND state) and press for the introduction of not another bill to "fix" things, but how about a REPEAL of the various and overburdening laws AND regulations (don't forget about the fiats from POTUS and the bureaucrats) or the introduction (yeah, you gotta introduce SOME bills to fix things) of a State Sovereignty Bill in your state if there is not one already pending (or through your support behind it if there is one pending).

As always, hope for the best and prepare for the worst.  Stay informed as to the current state of affairs, guard your precious liberties and remember - the world will turn.  Enjoy your liberty and celebrate your INDEPENDENCE from whatever was holding your down.
