New Blood


New Blood

     I had the privilege of hearing a young man from Las Cruces by the name of David Clements speak at a rather large gathering of concerned Sierra County Citizens on Monday .  It was refreshing to see so many folks interested in hearing what Mr. Clements, a candidate for the U.S. Senate, had to say.

     I liked his reference point, the Constitution of the United States, which many of our politicians swear to uphold but probably have not studied or even read it from cover to cover. (They tend to not read important things, like the Obamacare Health Bill, but they should!)  The Constitution is a short read and is PACKED with common sense logic to guide our nation into the future; applause for Mr. Clements for using the Constitution as a guide and compass.

     Mr. Clements has conservative values which I think our country greatly needs.  It seems we are in a ‘progressive’ freefall of anything goes.  Standards, morals, and ethics that guide our leaders’ decision making and their lifestyles are ‘loose’.   Frankly this ‘fundamental transformation of America’, this journey from the middle ground to the far left in politics and government, scares the heck out me.  One only needs to have watched how Obamacare deceptively got pushed through all the branches of government, how promises were made and not kept, and how the cost of this mad progressive social experiment is hurting  Americans.

         Leadership matters!  Let’s educate ourselves this election cycle on the candidates.  What are their values and what will they use to guide their leadership decisions?  Let’s voice our convictions with our vote this November after we have thoroughly evaluated the person’s resume and voting record.  Ultimately, America is OUR responsibility. 

     Mr. Clements said several times he is applying for this Senate  job and we would be his boss.  It is evident he desires to serve and not be served.  America needs a service-minded transfusion of new blood.   With a sincerity to serve, a passion for common sense, and a commitment to the Constitution, we can improve our future and the future prospects of our children.

Lame Duck Dynasty ........................................... Happy New Year!!!!.......@teapartypassion


Lame Duck Dynasty

     Feathers are flying as we have watched Obama’s dictatorial ‘Affordable Healthcare Act’ fall out of the sky after a miserable rollout,  a botched website, rising premiums, rising co-pays, rising deductibles, and hidden taxes.  Americans are finally seeing the true colors of a bill that had to pass before we got to see what was in it!  The President and his Party of Woe are now trying to duck the ever changing ‘law’ that trampled the Constitution to bring socialized medicine to America.

     Just one year into Obama’s second term we see a very bullish lame duck over a dynasty that is appalling to most Americans.  Instead of taking an apologetic,  humble, and bipartisan tone, he continues to defiantly poke his finger in the eye of those opposed to his rule.  It is akin to giving half of America the bird!  If I had just lied to 6 million plus independent middle class Americans about keeping their doctor and health plan, when I knew it wasn’t going to happen, to win an election, I would tone down the rhetoric a notch or two.

     And let us not forget the Obamacare ducklings, the Democrat controlled Senate and House, who waddled behind Obama in lockstep for five years.  They need to be held accountable when the day of reckoning comes and they want our vote.  They will try to camouflage themselves with a vote or two bailing out those American’s who are now suffering or change talking points but, remember, their original votes got us into this mess!

     Concluding, how does one neutralize a lame duck and his dynasty?  We will have to turn off the TV ( no more American idle),  get off the couch, take some of our precious time, and talk to others about the issues.  We need to take action and get involved.  We need to turn our distrust, our angst, our concern for our country into a fireball of human energy and purpose that no progressive politician or occupier will want to stand in the way of us getting our country back on track.  And that, my friends, will be a great start to a new year!
