And The Politics Thereof

Today is the 15th of April, we all know what that means... However today was a bit different for Reno Gamma and me. We loaded up in our truck this morning despite the wind and snow and headed off to Carson City (the capital of Nevada for those of you in parts unknown) and attended our FIRST EVER political rally or event, whatever you want to call it. Yes, people, we went to a T.E.A. Party. We took our flags and joined thousands of other Nevadan's to voice our disapproval of the direction our President and Congress is taking our country!

Now to be honest, I did protest the hair policy and the barring of boys in home ec while in high school, but I'm not sure that really counts as a political protest.(Yes I can sew and cook. I even make up some of my own recipes.)

We found ourselves in the midst of alot of people just like us. People who go to work(wish I had a job) every day and don't have time to attend these kinds of things. We did see and thank our Congressman, Dean Heller, one of the good guys, who doesn't think our President and the rest of Congress has a right to spend my (our) Grandkids money (we now have 4 1/2, #5 due in September) but we also saw lots of Veterans, Grandparents and kids, ranging from the very young to high school, along with several very cute dogs with signs of their own.

Now that I don't go to work every morning, I have time to pursue my other passion, politics. Now I've been told I'm not very politically correct. No kidding! I make no apologies for that, but I am really proud of the fact that I had a dad who taught me to stand up for what I believe in and to stand up for what is right!

I'm mad as HELL and for the life of me I can't figure out how or why some of our elected officials think they are above the laws they write or that they have a right to take what I've worked hard for and to take away any chance my Grandkids have of making it to the top.

They say that some of us may be extremist, well if believing in God and Country and The Pursuit of Happiness is extremist, so be it, and if the Department of Homeland Insecurity thinks that is so then they should not have any problem finding me, and if they think they can take what I believe in, yes, that would include the right to own guns, then come and get me and them (Warning: you had best make sure I have the dogs put up! yea right.) So for now keep in mind that some idiot out there may actually believe in the Constition and think that the Government is suppose to work for the PEOPLE not the other way around, and if you find one of them make sure you vote for them in 2010!
