What the??? Where Are All the Unhappy People Hiding...and Why?

Earlier today, I got to thinking about the number of folks in this country and why we can't seem to get more of them to wake up or to get involved politically. I realize that there is a certain number of people that will just never get involved because of lack of interest. There is yet another group, who we really don't want involved, I'll not make a definition of those here, but even if those numbers were as high as 60% combined, which we are led to believe by the last election numbers, with a total U.S. population of 305 million, that leaves 40% or 125 million +/- a few of the population to be politically active. We know that "O" received 53% or about 66.25 million popular votes. So we know those are mostly Die Hard Liberals. We will probably never change MOST of their minds.

Here's the thing though. That leaves about 46% or 59 million "fence sitters", (called so because we know that MOST of those didn't vote for Mccain, they voted AGAINST "O"). So why in the heck are there not rallies of epic proportions in the street on a daily basis?

Compare the above numbers to these. In 2007, according to what stats I can find, approximately 1.31 million folks attend a sports event of some kind every week in this country. Well, I guess that isn't really accurate because that just involves NFL and MLB games which covers about 40 weeks, some of which overlap. So really, if you added in motor sports, hockey, and golf the numbers would be far, far higher.

This is what I am getting at...If we just allowed for the 46% or 59 million who voted for McCain to be in the streets, that would be about 1.13 million, PER WEEK, to be in the streets(59 million divided by 52 weeks). Okay, most of us work, right? So with the unemployment rate at 9.5%(governments lying numbers) that is about 29 million people out of work right now. Certainly, many of those voted for "O", but even if we said the full 53% number applies to the unemployed as well, that would leave 13.3 million people to raise hell or at least march defiantly in the streets of America...WEEKLY! Where the Hell are they?

Why, in the world,are we willing to send our young men and women, oversees to foreign countries, to fight for and die for our freedoms, and we won't even get off our lazy, overfed, credit soaked asses, right here in our own back yards, to raise enough Hell to get a spot on the evening news, or in the Sunday papers. I just DO NOT get it!!

Outside Independence Hall when
the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended,
Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin,
"Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded,
"A republic, if you can keep it."
~Benjamin Franklin, 1787~

Please, take the reins , wake up America,WAKE UP NOW OR LOSE YOUR REPUBLIC FOREVER Stand and and Scream at the Top of you Lungs. SET US FREE...LEAVE US ALONE AND WE WILL PROSPER, AMERICA WILL PROSPER. GET OUT OF OUR LIVES, OUR COMMUNITIES, OUR HOMES, AND OUR BEDROOMS. GET OUT NOW.

What is Freedom Worth to You?

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?

I thought this historical information about the signers of the Declaration
of Independence was very interesting

I received this information in an email this morning from a good friend of mine. I found it interesting, not only for it's historical value , but for the irony of how it applies, or doesn't, to today's America. The fact of the matter is that if these 56 folks and their families had been nearly as purposely apathetic and deliberately ignorant as most Americans are now, we would live in a much different America today.

Read on and see if you think, honestly, deep down, that you would have chosen to sign the Declaration of Independence, knowing your fate ahead of time.


Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before

they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred

honor. What kind of men were they?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.

Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation

owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of

Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his

home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family

almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family

was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his

reward.

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton,

Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown , Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British

General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He

quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was

destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died

within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives.

His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves,

returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.

So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.

Remember: Freedom is Never Free!



These 56 men, and their families, were true patriots. These folks knew, when they signed that document the were not only signing America's Birth Certificate, but that they were also signing their own death certificates along with many of their family member's death certificates.

Take a Stand America. WHAT IS FREEDOM WORTH TO YOU?
