My Letter to John Boehner

It's been a while since I posted but current events have prompted me to fire up my computer and send a letter to House Speaker Boehner.  Here is what I wrote:

Dear Mr. Boehner,

Thank you for your spinelessness in the Republican Party.  Because of you I have decided to leave the Republican Party.  I will no longer support the GOP and will do EVERYTHING in my power to help support Tea Party and Libertarian candidates. 

Your decision to remove fiscal conservatives from the Financial Services Committee because they are doing the right thing and not towing your party line is the last straw.  You have shown that you and your ilk are no better than any other Progressive, Big Government politician, whether he is a Republican OR a Democrat.  Your policies have ensured the demise of the Republican Party and the GOP.  Welcome to the new Whig Party Mr. Boehner because I am DONE with you. 

I will now make it my mission to help support candidates that represent MY values and ones that are more concerned about the preservation of the United States of America and our Constitution than their own political power.  You may choose to believe that I am only one person and you will disregard this message.  Know this however.  This is NOT the response of a single individual.  I speak for a multitude  of hard working Americans that believe in our country and the Constitution and are SICK and TIRED of your ineptness and Progressive, Big Government power grabbing.  The days of the career politician have come and are now GONE.  Now will be the time of responsible candidates who TAKE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America SERIOUSLY. 

It's time for FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.  If Congress played by the same rules as the rest of American citizens, then you and the rest of Congress would be locked up for financial FRAUD.  It's simple.  DON'T SPEND MORE THAN YOU TAKE IN!  Instead you spend whatever you like and then increase the debt ceiling, print more money and increase taxes to make up for your fiscal irresponsibility.  It would be like me taking out a credit card, maxing it out, getting a NEW credit card so I could spend more, going over to my copy machine and photo copying trillion dollar bills and then stealing from my neighbor to cover the rest. 

But I digress . . . this is about you and the end of the Republican Party and the GOP.  It is time to replace your bloated elephant with an AMERICAN BALD EAGLE.  We are NOT about Republican or Democrat.  We are about COMMON SENSE and RESPONSIBILITY.  From here on out I make it my calling to rally RESPONSIBLE, COMMON SENSE individuals, whether they are on the Right OR the Left to help take back our country from career political HACKS like you.  Consider this your future PINK SLIP and thank you again for showing your TRUE COLORS to the American People.

Sincerely,

Dwight Sanders

Proud Tea Party Member and NEW Conservative Libertarian

What Happened to American Exceptional-ism?

I remember it like it was yesterday.  Being and kid and watching "The Adventures of Superman" after school on TV.  I might not have realized it at the time, but this might have been where I learned about American Exceptional-ism.  Day after day I watched that show and day after day a was reminded that I could be GREAT because I lived in The United States of America.  If you don't remember the intro to the show, watch it here:


So what happened to our country where we aren't allowed to think that we are exceptional any more?  Why is it that even Superman has to turn his back on "The American Way?"



Don't we live in the free-est country on this planet?  Don't "American's" have more opportunity at success than in ANY place in the world?  Isn't that why people from all over the world flock to the U.S. for better opportunity and a better life? (read Mexico, etc.)

I think we all know the answer to that question, well at least everyone who didn't receive a trophy for coming in LAST place when they were growing up.

It's time to turn this ship around folks.  If you are one of those parents who has a child that gets a trophy for everything that he/she does, even when they come in LAST place, you need to get off your collective butts and teach your nanny state kid something useful.  Take all of those trophy's into the backyard and BURN them with your child watching and then have a meaningful conversation explaining that people should only get a trophy for being EXCEPTIONAL.  And if you are NOT exceptional then you have to WORK HARDER to become exceptional and receive that trophy.

People, in general. don't get better by having things handed to them on a silver platter and WINNING all the time.  People learn by FAILING and then working harder for the next time.  Then if they fail again, they keep working harder until they SUCCEED.

It's time time revive American Exceptional-ism in our country, put it has to start with parents teaching their kids that they have to work harder to get better.  If you don't, then don't be surprised when your kids end up at Occupy Wall Street and start demanding that they are ENTITLED to free education, healthcare, jobs, homes, food, etc.

I want MY Superman back!  I want Truth, Justice and THE AMERICAN WAY and NOT "all that other stuff".

South Carolina Debates

Tonight was the Fox News Republican debate in South Carolina and I have to say that for the "first time in my adult life" to coin a phrase, I finally feel confident that ANY one of these republican presidential candidates will be a vast improvement over our current president.

The night started out with Romney on the defense because of all the attack ad questions but under the circumstances I think he held his own.  All the other candidates did a great job and looked strong.  It's the first time I've seen each of them look Presidential.  For a link to Fox News click here.

Anyway, it's good to see that we are finally seeing some life out of the candidates.
