Behind the Times

  That's me, behind it all.  Over the last few months, I healed up, found out that they would not let me go back to Afghanistan because of health, and found a job. Ugh
On the plus side, I did not really want to go back.  We also moved and found the nicest group of friends in this area that I have ever known.  So I guess it turned out good.

Simple Tax or Mark of the Beast?

I have not been writing much, in fact lazy might be a better word.  This morning though on the news there was an article under discussion concerning fuel taxes and supporting the government and state infrastructures.  The more I listened the more I was appalled.
Our king obama wants to tax drivers by placing a GPS tracking device on every vehicle.  In this way, they can keep track of how many miles you drive and you will pay a tax on that.  One state, Minnesota, is testing this already and several states are discussing implementation
  http://www.startribune.com/business/yourmoney/120195829.html
 There are so many things wrong with this, I find it bizarre. Well, bizarre to me and a lot of people, but maybe not so much this government.
  Just to remove the money part from this equation, pretend for a moment that everyone had enough money to pay for an extra tax.  Let us assume that no one would feel the pinch of giving more money for government.  I know it is a stretch, but just for now, try it.  Every thing is peachy, I can get gas whenever I need it and fuel becomes a nonissue.  Cool. 
What the news did not mention is this. This is not a fantasy.  If they put gps on all vehicles.
  Homeland Security, who has already deemed most Americans as possible terrorists decides they can "protect" more people if they had a way to monitor.  Oh yea, the little gps thing added to my vehicle to monitor my miles.  Rest assured that if they can monitor each mile you drive the car, they can also monitor any place you go.  They can monitor and store anything you do.
 You might not remember where you went when you were cruising last year, but they will know.  If there was a murder or terrorist attack in a neighborhood you drove through, they would have that record and you would be an immediate suspect.  You might not remember being in that area, but don't worry, there will be a record.  You have the right of innocent until proven guilty, but you know how our legal system is.  You will still need to prove that you are not guilty.
People will become very afraid to leave their house except when they absolutely have to. Government protests will pretty much disappear.  The government will be able to tell exactly who was there.  If you want a drink some evening, there will be proof that you stopped at a nightclub. 
Anywhere you go will be in a database somewhere.  Most times, you can tell what a person is doing, just by knowing where they are.
They will know if you are at church, work, home, school, a bar, a strip club, house of ill repute, or sneaking around on the spouse at another persons home or motel.  If you are parked at a gunshop or gun show, they will know it.  If you do or write anything that is sooner or later considered dangerous or questionable, there will be a rcord of that tied exactly to you.All this information on everyone can be shared with all the different "security" organizations like the FBI, CIA, DHS, ATF, IRS, NSA, .....
  This information alone would also be worth billions of dollars and you know how well private information is protected.
I believe this to not only be wrong, I believe it to be against the Constitution and against any freedom loving person.
At this point, I would not be able to cooperate in this slavery of America.  I just won't.  They would problably have a prison penalty for refusing, but I draw the line there.
I know on the surface that this is a reach and really paranoid sounding.  The problem is though, we have the technology for this and it would be easy to do.  Also, our government has no qualms about anything like this, some of them want it. So paranoid might not be the right description.
Right now, all cattle that are sold have to be marked.  All milk by law has to be pasteurized.  The government is even fining people for selling vegetables and fruit that they have grown.  Not all the time, but it seems like they are testing out this action.
Handy for pet owners or people that worry about their children in this day and age, we now use RFID and VERICHIPs.  These are implanated under the skin of your pet, possibly your child in order to make sure they do not get lost or stolen.  The last few years, the government has been pushing hard to make it law that any animal you are tryiing to sell, must have an implanted chip.  You will not have to worry about it being stolen.  But then again, the government knows exactly what you are doing.  If you butcher the creature, they will know.  If you sell it, they will know.  This leads to more taxes and more control.
Kinda like the mark of the beast isn't it?
  The more I write, the more it seems like a science fiction conspiracy theory.   For many of us that believe in freedom and our way of life and have expressed opinions, it is too late.  You know there is a database that tracks all that.
  When Orwell wrote"1984", did he have any idea? A good book, nice fiction, but we are way past "1984".

14th Amendment to the Constitution

   Recently, obama threatened to invoke the 14th amendment.  My firt thought was what the hell!?  In my mind, the amendment was already law, because it was a part of the Constitution.  He did not have to "invoke" anything.  All he had to do was follow the law.  Oh, my mistake, most of them do not, unless they are pushed into a corner for some reason.
  Anyway, there are several sections to the 14th amendment He is hoping to use the one concerning the debt crisis.  He wants to use that to bypass congress to get a new debt ceiling.  That is where he is going with this.  I am not going to discuss the whole thing, just the ones that are curious to me at the moment.  I am no Constitutional scholar, but I can read.
  The 14th amendment is an interesting one.  Approved on July9, 1868, it has five sections, all covering completely different subjects.  The one that obama is interested in is the fourth.
What I find really interesting is the 3rd and the 4th sections.  In the 4th section, it states basically, that the debt of the United States cannot be questioned, EXCEPT, any state or the country cannot incure or pay for a debt in support of an insurrection or rebelliion against the United States.  Immediately I think of all the aid and money that our government gives to organizations like la raza and cair.  It would seem that this is illegal.
  Section three is really interesting.  That ones states, and I simplify, that any official that takes an oath of office, MUST comply with that oath or be removed from office.  It appears to me that most of our congressional leaders and the president are completely guilty here.
  So if obama is going to invoke the 14th amendment, does that mean it does not count unless the president wants it to?  Nope, an amendment is law, he has to conform to the whole thing.  Not just pick and choose.
  To me, this is authorization to take away ANY support monies to organizations that are against the United States and our way of life.
Also, obama and his cronies and most of congress can be fired.
 Below, are the different sections to this amendment. Read them yourself and think about them for a moment.

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Homeowner Suffers Horrific Injustice at the Hands of JPMorgan Chase

http://mandelman. ml-implode. com/2011/ 03/homeowner- suffers-horrific -injustice- at-the-hands- of-jpmorgan- chase/

For over two years I've had a front row seat for the foreclosure crisis, the by-product of our government's complete mishandling of the worst economic downturn in seventy years.

During that time I've been exposed to some pretty horrific things. people living in their cars with a child sleeping in the trunk. the eviction of an 89 year-old couple. I've gotten to know what that fear sounds like and feels like. the fear of losing one's home while the country talks about you as being nothing more than an "irresponsible borrower," someone who never should have bought your home in the first place, even though you may have lived in it for 30 years.



What I saw this past week, however, was something new for me. I'd heard of things like this happening before, written about them, even. But, I had never seen anything like it, up close and personal.



As a warning. this story is not for the squeamish. If you're pregnant, or have heart disease, or just want to go on pretending that your country is still a place of which you're proud. it's better that you click off now. because this one isn't going to make you laugh.



An Anaheim couple with an eight year-old daughter has lost their home. that would be one way of phrasing it. Another way to describe what happened would be to say that JPMorgan Chase, an outfit that I now see clearly is significantly worse than any crime family. has thus far been permitted by the courts and the laws in California to STEAL an Anaheim couple's home.



Why do I say that Chase stole it? Well, there are lots of reasons, but I think the one that tops my list would have to be, because they never missed or were late on a payment. in every single month that JPMorgan Chase told the couple to make a payment. they paid the exact amount they were told to pay. on time and as agreed. never missed even one. never were late, not even once.



"We trusted the bank," the Mom says, "like idiots."



The husband in this family worked for the City of Placentia in Southern California for some 27 years. The wife and mother has her own small business. Their adorable eight year-old daughter, whose life is about to be inalterably changed at the hand of JPMorgan Chase, goes to school near by and loves her home. Her parents haven't told her anything about this yet, and I pray to God they never have to. that JPMorgan Chase comes forward and stops this egregious wrong that they have let happen. that they have created.



I can barely tell this story. I can't imagine it ever happening to me. I can't imagine it ever happening to anyone in this country. a place I used to proudly think of as my country. Not so much anymore though.



The husband in this family became ill a few years ago. advanced diabetes. his kidneys have failed, he's on dialysis. heart disease. he's spent time on a respirator while hospitalized.



Yet, they've made it through everything, this family, through all of that and more. stayed together. raised a daughter. found ways to laugh and play together. they must love each other very much.



They had bought their 2-bedroom home in August of 2006. as it turns out. terrible timing. but who knew that the bankers, who had leveraged themselves 40-100 to one, were about to blame homeowners for their defrauding of the investment community, bankrupting the global financial system, and destroying the credit markets? Bernanke didn't know. Paulson didn't know. personally, I think that lets this couple off the hook about the whole should-have- known thing.



So, for three years they made their payments without fail. And maybe if it would have just been the economy or just the medical bills, they would have made it through this. but both was too much, and they received a Notice of Default in July of 2009.They applied to JPMorgan Chase for a loan modification, and Chase granted them a trial modification in February of 2010. Chase told them to pay $869 for three months, and entered them into another program in May, telling them to make monthly payments of $1358.



They paid every month, on time every time. by cashier's check, as required by Chase. The trial modification paperwork said something to the effect of:



"If all payments are payments are made as agreed, we will reevaluate you to determine if we can offer you a permanent modification. "



"We trusted the bank," the Mom says, "like idiots."



In August, they received a Notice of Sale. They called Chase. and imagine their relief when they were told not to worry one bit about that notice. Apparently, it was just the fault of Chase's stupid computer system that just spits things like that out without anyone telling it to do so. False alarm, what a relief.



So, they paid their September payment. and paid their October payment. and it was around October 10th when they received another Notice of Sale. Again, they called Chase, perhaps a little less nervous than the last time the same thing had happened. and wouldn't you know it. another false alarm. it was that darn computer system again. Nothing to worry about, Chase told them. just keep those payments coming.



Oh, but while we've got you on the phone, we need you to send in some current paycheck stubs and other miscellaneous pieces of information, which they did. and then did again. you know the standard operating procedures for servicers by now I'm sure.



I know, it's not Chase's fault. they've reportedly been having trouble hiring minimum wage people for the last three years. Or was it the investor's who won't let them modify? I can never remember which lie was Chase's favorite. Bank of America was having the phone problems. Wells couldn't stop their employees from losing stuff over and over. Yep, Chase was the can't-hire-anyone- and-investors- won't-modify, I'm almost positive.



Right around the third week of October, they come home to find a notice of sale pinned to their front door. Oh my God. they called Chase again. "Oh, just ignore it once again," Chase lied. "You don't have to worry about that, silly, you're under consideration for a loan modification, why would we sell your house?"A few more days and another notice on the door. Chase back on the phone. but this time everything was different. Chase said they were selling their home in ONE HOUR. To stop the sale, they would need to get down to the courthouse with about twenty-five grand. in 55 minutes, 50. 45. 40.



I suppose we needed another vacant home in Anaheim in a hurry, because predictably, the home went back to Fannie Mae at the Trustee Sale. Gone, in the blink of an eye. sold October 21, 2010. just 21 days after they had made their October payment. Chase had told them not to worry. it was just the computer system. no one would sell their home.



And now it was gone.



"We trusted the bank," the Mom says, "like idiots."



The father has a hospital bed in the living room, he requires special care. their daughter. in school close by. eight years old. is that second or third grade?



The couple pleaded with Chase that day on the phone, I can only imagine what that felt like for them on that day. Here's what the mom said to me:



We're not people who simply decided to skip out on our mortgage. We did everything as upright and by the book as we were instructed to do by Chase yet we still lost our home. On the day they took back the property, I called Chase pleading for an alternative to this. Their reply to me was "I suggest you find a new place to live."



The Unlawful Detainer or UD hearing was the next indignity the couple would suffer. and I haven't been able to stop thinking about this next part all week.



With the medical bills they were receiving, and the uncertainty about the future, they didn't feel they could afford a lawyer for the Unlawful Detainer trial. As the date for the UD neared, the husband was still in the hospital; he would be released roughly 48 hours before he would have to be in court.



They found an attorney who would help them and she called the opposing counsel, a lawyer from one of those scum-of-the- earth foreclosure mills that have no doubt been making untold millions intimidating homeowners, already scared to death and almost always without counsel, McCarthy & Holthus. They look like rich young men who don't care at all about what the banks are doing to their neighbors. well, maybe not their neighbors. they probably live in some zillion-dollar beach pad.



(Hey fellas. looking forward to seeing you on Google! If you've been spending money on SEO trying to rank up at the top, I've got outstanding news. I'm going to put you right up there. May not be exactly what you had in mind, but then I don't give a rat's ass what's in your under-developed minds.)



The couple's lawyer asked the McCarthy & Holthus lawyer if there could be a continuance as the husband would be only a day or two out of the hospital.. they said they'd check with Fannie Mae. then said that Fannie said no. I guess Fannie Mae, a bankrupt and tax-payer owned mortgage company really wanted another empty condo in Anaheim.



The lawyer asked, what if the couple comes in and asks the judge for a continuance, would McCarthy & Holthus object? No, she was told, they would not object "vigorously. " So, the couple went to the UD expecting to ask the judge for a continuance, she pushing him in his wheelchair.



As soon as they walked in, another McCarthy & Malthus lawyer, Kevin Mello was walking towards them. As he approached, the couple overheard Kevin say to another, "I'm so sick of all these sob stories."



Oh, no he didn't. Oh, yes he did.



(And boy oh boy, is Kevin going to regret saying that. LOL. Yoohoo, Kevy, baby. you hang in the courthouse right near my house. do you know how lucky you're aren't? I'm actually making a documentary about the foreclosure crisis, and hadn't yet cast the shithead. How lucky is that?)



Mello asked the couple when they could be out of their home. They said that they would need six weeks. Mello made a call and said they could have 30 days. The husband asked to talk to the judge, but our guy Kevin said, "Why, the judge has no authority. he'll tell you to be out in 4 days. the bank has all the authority."



Does it now, Kevin? The bank? Fannie Mae? The scandal-ridden, morally and financially bankrupt, already absorbed into the federal government, Fannie Mae?



Kevin had some papers he said that the couple needed to sign. They said no, they didn't want to sign anything. Kevin said they had no choice. either sign or be out in four days. He put the documents in front of them. they couldn't move his hospital bed in 4 days. they signed. Stipulated to a judgment and waved future claims.When they appeared before the judge, he said that they should be GRATEFUL that the bank gave them 30 days.



When the couple tried to relay the story of the loan modification con job and Chase lying and then the stealing of the home. well, they didn't use those terms, I did, but someone has to, right? Because that's what happened, and I don't give a damn what other factors are involved, that's what happened, sure as shootin'.



And, even though I've been covering the inconceivable tragedy that is the foreclosure crisis, after learning of what happened to this this couple, I couldn't help but wonder how or why this could possibly happen. and no one cared. in this country. and no one cared. Because I know I've been hard on the servicers, and deservedly so, but is it really possible that they are actually inherently evil. are they literally lying to everyone and intentionally try to sabotage the nation? How could that be true? It couldn't, right?



And something occurred to me, something that I had not previously considered. And maybe it's important to consider.



Prior to the last three to four years tops, foreclosures were a very different animal than what we have going on today, but I'm starting to think that maybe a lot of people don't know that. You see, prior to this crisis, foreclosures were exceedingly rare. When someone got into financial trouble they either sold their home, or borrowed against it to get through the storm. But this housing market was pushed off a cliff, the credit markets froze almost overnight, prices fell through the floor and fast. People losing homes today bear no resemblance to the foreclosures of the last 50 years. no resemblance whatsoever.



So, maybe our entire system, including the inadequate and fraudulent documentation, and the incredibly uncaring and incompetent treatment of the homeowners involved. maybe it's happening because we haven't stopped to realize that although today we have foreclosures and years ago we had foreclosures. they really shouldn't be called the same thing because they're not the same thing. In fact, they're so different they shouldn't share the same moniker.



Maybe we should call today's foreclosures, fraudclosures. I mean, like all the time. like as in someone call Webster's. Maybe if our society understood the substantive nature of the distinction, things would improve. no? I think maybe yes. Like, do the bankers think that today we're just having more of the same foreclosures we had years ago. same thing. just more of them? Because that's not the case.



Because in the days before this crisis, you'd never modify a loan. the person who went into foreclosure wasn't a person that anyone would ever consider modifying a loan for, because by the time they went into foreclosure there was no hope for anything but repossession and after that, of course, liquidation was a certainty. That's not a description of today's situation.



Look, what happened to this couple. is it not the kind of thing that you might expect to happen in some totalitarian regime?



So, why is that okay with even one single American? We treat criminals better than this. But today's homeowners aren't losing homes for the same reasons as before, they're not deadbeats, they're victims. And something has to be done to change this, because as sure as I'm sitting here, what's happening is going to end badly and I fear, violently. People are going to get hurt. I don't know how, when or where. but no way does this just keep going and everyone's okay.



Chase's conduct was so offensive that a highly experienced trial attorney agreed to take their case.



A complaint will be filed on Tuesday in Orange County Superior court seeking compensatory and punitive damages.



The couple's lawyer would later ask a McCarthy Holthus lawyer about the apparent preference for coercion and intimidation, and she basically replied by saying, "Hey, look. I'm not their lawyer, I'm the bank's lawyer. If they wanted a lawyer they should have had their own." My words, not hers. but that's what she was saying.



No, I'm sorry McCarthy Holthus. on that point you're entirely wrong. I mean, everyone know you don't need to pay a lawyer when you're applying for a loan modification. just ask the California State Bar, the Attorney General's office. President Obama. come on. everyone knows that.



Mandelman out.



P.S. Hey bloggers. Facebookers. please help me get the word out on this. post, repost, tweet, re-tweet. I'm hoping Chase sees this and stops the eviction. otherwise this couple could be fighting this from a homeless shelter. We can't save everybody, so let's save one at a time.

obama and his sidekick calderon

  I admit up front that I do not like calderon and I have a tendency to not bother capitalizing the names of people that I do not like.  Petty, yeah, but so what.  I do not like calderon, but obama, I curse the ground he touches, the air he breathes.....
  Today on the news I heard him say was that since we caused the problems on the southern border, then we will cure them.  We will inspect any trucks going to Mexico.  He did not say anything about inspecting them coming north though.  Not one damn word.
 Just before that, the moron in chief the same as said we will basically be in a war with libya.
That is what I heard this morning.

Islam and Traitors, both Stupid and Purposeful

  The following article is very good, concise and thoughtful.  A warning to citizens of the direction we are going.  The following article I took from Matt Barber at  http://www.rightsidenews.com/
  There is only one thing that Mr. Barber and I disagree upon.  He believes that this is about radical islam and the goals of those that are considered radical.  Myself, I believe that it encompasses the whole of islam, not just so-called radicals.  The "moderate" muslims, while not outright dangerous , support the radical faction by not openly and loudly fighting against others.  Their acceptance of the "radicals" brands them the same.

Mainstreaming Radical Islam .

Thursday, 24 February 2011 19:39 J. Matt Barber. 
  The term “useful idiot” is believed to have been coined by Vladimir Lenin. It originally described liberal Communist sympathizers in Western nations who, as the Soviet leader explained, would “sell us (Soviet Russia) the rope with which we will hang them (the West).”
Today’s useful idiots are a swath from that same politically correct cloth. They comprise: secular “progressives” (to include the liberal media); pinko anarchists and other Berkeley-types; President Obama and his motley stable of cracked czars and policy advisors; and the majority of Democrats in Congress.
Only the role of “international-villain-bent-on-world-domination” has changed. We’ve gone from the Soviet hammer and sickle to the Islamic crescent moon and star. 
Abraham Lincoln once said: “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
I submit that our own useful idiots on the American left represent every bit the threat to both this great Republic and her unalienable freedoms as do the Muslim extremists with whom they play footsy. Liberals are the naïve, codependent enablers of a global Islamofascist movement bent on taking-down the “Great Satan” and his “Zionist” ally, Israel.
Although their long-term goals differ significantly, militant “progressives” and radical Islamists have a common mid-range vision: The left seeks to “repeal and replace,” if you will, our Constitutional Republic with a Euro-style secular-socialist utopia. Hard-line Islamists seek to destroy us outright and supplant our government with a global Islamic State.
Exhibit A, of course, is the “Muslim Brotherhood” – a worldwide Islamofascist organization heartily embraced in recent weeks by the mainstream media and the larger “progressive” movement. The Brotherhood, in its own words, seeks to “destroy” our “Western civilization from within…so that it is eliminated and God’s religion (Islam) is made victorious over all other religions.”
Frank Gaffney’s Center for Security Policy explains the group’s objective concisely: “The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928. Its express purpose was two-fold: (1) to implement Shariah worldwide, and (2) to re-establish the global Islamic State (caliphate).”
Although the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations certainly represent a sizeable menace, I think there remains a more subtle, yet equally ominous threat to our way of life.
I recently received an email from the National Muslim Law Students Association promoting an upcoming conference at Penn Law on February 26. As I began to read, my jaw dropped.
The conference is titled: “Constructive Roles for Islamic Law in Western Society.”
“Constructive roles?” I thought. “For Shariah law?” I read further. As it turns out, Asifa Quraishi, a University of Wisconsin law professor and founding member of the National Association of Muslim Lawyers, is to speak.
Among other things, Quraishi has advocated incorporating Shariah law, through “local Muslim tribunals,” into the US judiciary.
In a paper headlined: “No Altars: A Survey of Islamic Family Law in the United States,” she wrote: “The attitude of the US courts to the rise of these tribunals is yet unknown, but there is indication that some judges would welcome the existence of reliable arbiters of Islamic family law issues, and may even be undertaking their own consultation from Muslim authorities in the interim.”
This begs the question: Which parts of Shariah do we incorporate? The provision that renders women chattel to be beaten or killed with impunity? Or how about the death penalty for homosexuals? What about the part offering the choice between conversion to Islam, enslavement or death?
Keep in mind, Quraishi is no fly-by-night radical. She was actually tapped by the Obama administration to accompany Hillary Clinton at last year’s U.N. Commission on the Status of Women.
This is frog in the pot kind of stuff. Whereas violent Islamic terrorists might prefer to take-out toady with a suicide bomber, more “moderate” Islamists appear to favor bringing down Western civilization from within by turning up the heat ever-so-slowly. And they’re using liberal academia and our own constitutional freedoms to do it.
This mainstreaming of radical Islam, to include Shariah law, has prompted lawmakers in Oklahoma to pass – and 13 other states to introduce – laws blocking consideration of Shariah by judges on the bench. Not a bad idea when you consider that five of nine US Supreme Court Justices have admitted weighing international law while ruling on cases.
Yes, the useful idiots will, no doubt, call me an intolerant “Islamophobe” for questioning the irrefutable desire, shared by Muslims of many stripes, to impose global caliphate upon the international “infidel” collective.
That’s because they’re idiots.
Indeed, if the American left has its way, we may just “tolerate” ourselves right out of existence.

Remember The Alamo, and America

   I am a Texian born in Missouri.  A Texan by choice and values.  Here I have gotten old and here I will die.  I believe in the old truths, ideals, and opinions of Texas and Texans. 
During the Alamo, Travis wrote a letter.  Here is a portion of it below.

Commandancy of the Alamo—
Bejar, Fby. 24th 1836—

To the People of Texas & all Americans in the world—

Fellow citizens & compatriots—
I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna—I have sustained
a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man—The enemy
has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if
the fort is taken—I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves
proudly from the walls—I shall never surrender or retreat Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & every thing dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch—The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier
who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country
Victory or Death

  Texans used to stand for something.  Davy Crockett once told congress “you go to hell, I’m going to Texas.”  Has Texas been subjugated by liberals, left wingers, anti Americans, and others who do not believe is our way of life?  We do not fight back.  We lay down here and take what we are given.  We are ruled by people in Washington D.C. that think only of themselves and their purpose, a purpose that means no good to this country and is of no use.  Texas used to be a Republic.  It became a state with the understanding that if need be, we would secede from that union.  I do not know if that is still possible.  Texas has been inundated with enemies of Texas and the country.  Our capital, Austin, is considered a liberal city.  How does that happen?  It happens because fools from other states, bring ideas and plans that did not work on the west coast or in the northeast, but for some reason think they will work here.   How stupid is that?  We are surrounded with stupid  and selfish people, they breed, and they vote.

During elections, the polsters claim that how one state or another votes, there goes the country.  Here is my prediction.  Whatever happens to Texas foreshadows the life of America.

P.S.  If this offends you too bad.  I refuse to be politically correct to anyone.
