HOWDY FOLKS! (ya like that down home hello do ya?)

Welcome to the home of the
"NEW AMERICAN COMMON SENSE PARTY".
(hereinafter referred to as NACSP)

Yep, that's right people, it's time to take America back. Enough is enough. It's time we quit electing the same crooks and scumballs over and over again. Quit pulling the all Democrat or all Republican lever because your daddy was a Rep. or a Dem. God gave you a brain, (oh my goodness, your blogger believes in the Creator, he must be an idiot) use it to study the issues and the candidates before you go to the polls. Before you vote for an incumbent, look at his voting record and see how much of YOUR, YOUR KIDS,
GRANDKIDS and GREATGRANDKIDS hard earned tax $ he voted to waste on porkbarrel projects. With the deficit running in the trillions, congress still doesn't seem to get the message. Of course not, they don't care about America, they only care about getting reelected. We have built a house of cards based on greed, and it's going to come tumbling down if we don't fix it SOON.

WHERE IS THE LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE???

This mornings news had two reports that finally tripped my trigger to write a post. But it wasn't just those two reports, it was the accumulation of similar reports over the past several years. This is a large country, with a population upwards of 300 million, and one needs to take that into consideration when you see an item here and there about official misconduct, or just stupid behavior. But when report after report after report of outrageous (and many times illegal) conduct by police all over the country keep surfacing daily, sooner or later you have to realize, Houston, we have a problem.

Another instance (this makes at least a dozen I've seen in the last several months) of a police swat team conducting a no-knock raid ON THE WRONG HOUSE. Two or three of which resulted in severely injured children, and several with completely innocent people killed. The latest also involved the FBI and the suspect hadn't lived in that house for FOUR, yes 4! MONTHS. How in the hell does that happen? What kind of incompetent morons are running these "investigations"?

Just a couple right off the top of my head:
Police running "no refusal" DUI checkpoints where every driver stopped is forced to take a breathalyzer test, and a refusal results in a trip to the police station where a nurse is on duty and they FORCEFULLY take a BLOOD SAMPLE.

Virginia police trying to take a 17 year old boy to a hospital and have him injected with something to cause an erection so they can photograph it and compare it to a picture he sent to his girlfriend (who was also sending him nude pics, this wasn't some unwanted harrassment).

Police in Nevada arresting and hauling  a man off to jail because he refused to let their swat team use his house as a headquarters.

The picture of  CHP "officers" pointing their rifles right in the faces of innocent drivers at a roadblock not even driving the type or color of the car of the guy they were looking for.

I could go on and on. These kinds of things were totally unthinkable in this country just 10 or 20 years ago. So, what has happened to the land of the free?

And what about the home of the brave? What has happened to our young men? Reports from the very recent FSU shooting reminded me of the UVA mass shooting several years ago. The one person who tried to stop the guy instead of cowering under desks was an 80 year old Holocaust survivor professor. There's no more fist fighting, that takes guts. Now they shoot each other. Really a cowards way out if you think about it.

The problems in our society today are complex, and there is no easy solution to getting back to the realization that our individual problems are OUR problems. That they are not the fault of our family, friends, government, or society. Back to individuals taking responsibility for their own actions. For feeding themselves and their families. But we CAN do something about widespread abuse of police power. Time to write your elected officials - local, state, and federal - again. Demand they reign in the unconstitutional heavy handed behavior becoming so widespread in police forces around the country.

Stand up for what you believe. I remind you again, if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
