I Am A Proud Extremist

About 1-1/2 weeks ago Senator Chuck Schumer (despotcRAT - NY) described the spending cuts proposed by the republicans as extreme. By extension, the despotcRATs want the country to believe that those who support the spending cuts, that is, the people who voted to change the make-up of the House of Representatives, are extremists. Schumer, in his own words, has been instructed by the despotcRAT caucus to use the word extreme to describe the proposed spending cuts and to describe how the Tea Party has caused Boehner and the republican leadership in the house to move so far to the right.

I support the principles of the Tea Party, i.e., limited government, huge cuts in profligate federal government spending, a return to the true meaning of the Constitution, and the promotion of individual liberty, the protection of life, and the individual pursuit of happiness.

According to a recent Gallup poll, those who identify themselves as Tea Party supporters are "slightly more likely to be employed, male and definitely more conservative." Well, I am a Tea Party supporter, I am employed, I am male, and I am very conservative. So, I fit the profile. I am proud of that.

According to the despocRATs, the tyrant-and-liar-in-chief, and the leftist mainstream media, I am in the right-wing fringe. Yet, according to the poll, "age, educational background, employment status, and race [of Tea Party supporters] . . . are quite representative of the public at large." So, who really are the extremists? Are those who want to save this country from bankruptcy and restore it to the Constitutional principles established by the Founding Fathers the extremists? Or, are those who would rather drive this country into bankruptcy through irresponsible spending policies and who seek to keep their power by buying votes by giving to their favored groups the money that is earned by the hard-working people in this country?

If I am extremist, then I am proud of being an extremist. I own my extremism. Those elected to Congress last November need to be proud of being extremists, also. They need to own it. Then, they need to use it against the despotcRATs, without fear. I am an extremist (in the eyes of Schumer, Pelosi, Reid, tyrant-and-liar-in-chief, and Matthews, and the rest of the leftists), because I believe in limited government, low taxes, living within the original meaning of the Constitution, getting rid of the deficit, balancing the budget, giving people a hand up rather than a hand-out, deciding for myself how to spend my money and how to live my life, etc.

I am extremist just like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, and the rest of the Founding Fathers. And, if I am the modern extremist in the mold of the Founding Fathers, then what does that make Schumer, Pelosi, Reid, tyrant-and-liar-in-chief? Are they not the modern equivalent of King George and the British Parliament? Are not Schumer, Pelosi, Reid, tyrant-and-liar-in-chief, and the despotcRAT party the oppressors?

The Republican leadership in the House needs to have the same attitude as the president expressed after he won. We "extremists" are in the majority in the House. We "extremists" in fly-over country will have their back. It is absolutely necessary that huge cuts in government spending are made, NOW. We cannot wait. Republicans in the House need to lead without fear of what the despotcRATs and the liberal state-controlled media say. They must do the right thing. They must have courage. They must have guts. They must have a backbone. We "extremists" elected them because of the promises they made to make these cuts and limit government's power. The "extemists" in the House must not back down. There is too much at stake.

If the government shuts down for a time, until we get the cuts we were promised, so be it.

God Bless You.
God Bless our Troops.
God Bless the BSA.
God Bless America.
