Good Ol' Abe and the Redesigning of America.

I've been on a Abraham Lincoln quoting Binge of late and I suppose that's because He has so many great quotes.
It's no secret where my views are and going through the Journey of life and finding out what I believe and standing for it even if it means the world is standing against me is actually easier than it looks.
Yes people get mad at me for it but since when has it stopped me any other time in my life?
I am stubborn and anyone who knows me can tell you that fact, I have a loud voice and perhaps am a bit too opinionated on everything due to the fact that I don't believe in tact.
It's not that I don't believe it doesn't exist, I just think it's a waste of time, I'm what you call a truth freak.
To me you are either telling the truth or lying and that may sound like something extreme to most but at least with me you know exactly where I stand and what I believe, there is no mixed messages or two faced person.
Now I do get misunderstood when I speak sometimes but that's part of life, my own Mother misunderstood me up until a few years ago so that says a lot for my complexity.
To explain farther To me, even if you're not telling the whole story you're leaving things out which is again... Lying.
Being brutally Honest can be hard sometimes but I figure it's a lot like a band-aid, it hurts at first and people don't like it much but then the pain is over and you know exactly how to mend the wound underneath.
Beating around the bush does no good because the truth comes back around again and you're wasting time rather than getting things figured out which has never made much sense to me.
So you ask "what does this have to do with the Redesigning of America?" I'm glad I asked in your voice.
well see lately our country has been going through turmoil and with the tea party movement and being divided over the Healthcare bill, being taxed wayyyy too much and other things.
I'm not sure people are aware of this but just last year alone there was over 7,500 tax bill adjustments added.
So if you didn't think we were being taxed too bad think again, We have over 7,500 tax laws in our country?!
I don't know about you but I think that is way too much taxing going on and on top of that California just started taxing it's people with the healthcare tax with a $2.00 add on to their current taxes.
This means when it ripples to everywhere else we can say goodbye to cheap late night taco bell runs for 79, 89 and 99 cents and instead we'll be paying 2.79,2.89,2.99.
Goodbye to dollar menus and the popular dollar stores.
There was a civil war and I don't wish that again, I hope that we can do this like reasonable people and hope that liberals see how much damage they're doing.
I am going to the Tea party rally on Thursday and I will be helping out there along with Republicans and Democrats alike.
We are brothers and sisters in this nation, we are not Black, White or Mexican Americans but just... Americans!
we have a common interest and belief and knowledge of what is right and wrong with a moral sense of outrage for what our government is becoming.
I heard a while back of racial slurs being yelled at black democrats and even though I believe they were liberals trying to make us look bad if I hear any such thing I am making a citizens arrest and waiting for the police to take them to jail because I will not tolerate that behavior!
But if we cannot succeed in our banning together peacefully to get back our government I fear we will have another civil war on our hands, the people raising up to take back this country.
Both Democrat and republicans {Conservatives} coming together to overhaul this country like it was meant to be in the past as our forefathers wrote.

We have gone through so much and we are a young nation yet compared to others and yet we took the lead showing our liberties and compassion for others to come here to make their home.
We did it under God in a covenant with Him and He had vastly blessed this nation and I believe if it were not for those praying we would have been destroyed long ago.
In such a short time we have become one of the largest and richest {despite our debt} nation in the world.
We have gathered ourselves to go help nations in need, spend our money to get Haiti back, give our time and money when Katrina Hit, when Germany and Hitler were threatening a global take over we joined those who were brave enough to fight such a thing.
War is not pretty and is tough but if freedom is not worth fighting for than should we be happy to turn over and become slaves to a power that threatens our very way of life?
Peace comes at a price and the way that the bullies are kept in check are with the thought that they might get hit back.
People think that if everyone were to just give all their guns up it would be peaceful but that is not true, if the good and honorable ones lay down their arms who will keep the evil one's in check? do you think evil people will give up their guns or do you think they will take advantage of an unarmed nation?
The honorable people will do the honorable thing while dishonorable people will not, it is the nature of things and people do not change.
If a man goes into a coffee shop to rob it and sees 7 people in there armed what is the likely hood that the robber will actually go through with it knowing there's a great chance He will be shot?
As sad as it is the more people who are armed the safer people are, it's an odd fact and you can look up the stats yourself.
Crime rates of Robberies, sex crimes, car thefts and a whole host of things actually went down when the people were free to carry guns.
My main point is this, we need to get back to the greatness of what we were as a country under the intentions of noble people.
We need to stick up for what is right in spite of people hating us for it, doing the right thing isn't always easy but it's worth it in the end to keep our freedoms.
We as a nation need to come together and Redesign America back to our roots because our current state is horrendous.
Please read or reread this and contemplate on it or send it to friends if you liked it because I believe it is very important in this time right now we are in.

Let me leave you with yet another Abraham Lincoln quote...

"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it."
