Americans Are Paying The Price of Apathy

"One of the penalties of not participating in politics is that you will be governed by your inferiors."


Plato

The ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

This one is a little different ... Two Different Versions... Two Different Morals


OLD VERSION


The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.


The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE OLD STORY: Be responsible for yourself!


MODERN VERSION


The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long,building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.


The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.


CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth,this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?


Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green!'


ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, “We shall overcome.” Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper's sake. President Obama condems the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight.


Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.


Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.


The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.


The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.


The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.


The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.


MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2010.

I’ve posted this here because I believe that the readers of this blog are ants – not a grasshoppers! You can help the cause by passing this on to other ants. Don’t bother sending it on to any grasshoppers
because they wouldn’t understand it anyway!

How Do Ordinary Everyday Americans Feel?

In reference to the Christine O'Donnell/Tea Party Group victory in Delaware, and the subsequent Republican Establishment snubs and denouncements:

-----------------------------
"It is becoming clear that there is a lot more trash in Washington D.C. that needs to be taken out. Evidence of this, the election by voters of Christine O'Donnell (in the Delaware Republican Primary).

How dare someone that has been elected numerous times by these same voters say that they are wrong to vote for someone other than him, and (then) not even have the courtesy to acknowledge the victor in his so
called 'own party'. Thank you Delaware for sacking up the trash, now finish the job and make sure there is not more trash put in place of what is being taken out.

The more the eyes of Americans are opened the more they are going to see the amount of 'self entitled' rubbish that needs to be removed from this great country's political process."
----------------------------

It is obvious to me that Americans far and wide are beginning to "get it".  The survival of the American way of life doesn't depend on electing someone with either a "D" or an "R" behind their name... it depends on electing people with back bone who have a "C" behind their name.   The actual political party designation is of little consequence when it comes to using common sense judgement and handling the people's money responsibly... Whether it be democrat or republican, doesn't matter at all .. but it does matter that we put people in office who understand that when all the taxpayers are shifted to the welfare roles, there won't be any money to "give" to anyone.

When you go to the poles this fall, just think before blindly voting for any particular "party"... Vote for those who will vote for America's best interest, and not their own self aggrandizement.

The Gumball Presentation

I generally try not to repeat any of the videos that I post here, but occasionally I think it productive to place this great demonstration back on top of the heap.... Hope you can appreciate the common sense approach that Roy Beck brings to this really important issue.  There is a "longer" version of this demonstration at http://numbersusa.com/  with graphs of the future populations we can expect if we don't get on top of it now.

God Bless America

I rarely refer visitors to this site away from Voices of Outrage.  But today I feel compelled to do just that, but for one of the most important reasons I could ever imagine.

Will you please join in with me here and with the countless millions of right thinking Americans who already have, and will continue to answer the call and ...

This Blog Presents Political Opinion and Viewpoints

Voices of Outrage was established as a location on the Internet where visitors could have access to some of the avalanche of emails, videos and other communications that came to me expressing the discontent that many Americans seem to harbor toward the actions of our Federal Government. I simply post some of the most interesting of those, then pass it along to a few friends.

However, due to the difficulty of creating a link, setting up an email and selecting those to whom I wanted to send it, I have decided to get a little more high tech and just send a notification of a new post to my contact list.

Some of you may not want to have the notification that allows you to check out each new post as it is put up on the blog. If that is the case, you can easily take yourself off the contact list by simply "unsubscribing" straight from the email notification. I will double check the action to make sure that you do not receive any further notifications of the new posts. You can actually complete the unsubscription process from the email that brought you to this post.

If you would like to have the notifications continue, you simply do nothing and then each time a post is made, you will be notified and have access to a link that will take you to the new post. You can choose to "unsubscribe" at any time. Please feel free to do so and without any concern that such an action will have any affect on any relationship that we may enjoy. Please be assured that God has blessed me with a "hard head" and a "thick skin". Which simply means that I will do what I want to do most of the time, and if there are those who disagree, it won't bother me a bit.

Thanks to all who have supported Voices of Outrage with a torrent email through which to sort for new and interesting material.

And Please, be sure to remember to "TAKE OUT THE TRASH" on November 2,2010.

This Blog Is Equipped With TwitterFeed

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to view Voices Of Outrage. As you know, the political season is upon us and the push is on to TAKE OUT THE TRASH in November.

As an added feature of the blog, I have added a device called TwitterFeed that will notify your twitter account each time a new post is made to the blog. I hope this will help keep everyone advised and up to date on the latest we have to offer.

I will also start "Tweeting" some and would like anyone who is interested in National politics to follow along with http://twitter.com/BReid43 if they want to keep abreast of the blog and other articles that I may be posting to other blogs..

Thanks Again,
Bill

Those Voices Don't Speak For The Rest Of Us!

Just A Reminder

I know that most who will read this blog are interested in changing the course that is being set for America. There are two ways to accomplish the goal.

1. Promote an armed revolution.
2. Promote a peaceful reversal at the ballot box.

I think that most of us would prefer the latter of the two. I know that I would. So please, do your duty for the sake of our Nation and the culture of freedom that was intended to be enjoyed by our (legitimate) citizens. Make sure that you are registered to vote, and that all the members of your family with which you have influence are duly notified of the seriousness of our current political crisis.

You can also help with the cause of Freedom by passing the link to this blog along to anyone you can reach by email or otherwise. The window of opportunity for a return to the principles of freedom set out in our constitution is slipping away. We must promote among those with the common sense to see what needs to be done, and we must do it now...

Thank you,

U. S. - Israel Relations Update -Author Unknown

I checked and this is posted on www.DailyIsrael.com.

 As it says in Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: …… I believe God still keeps his promises. Charles Grimsley

 " Folks, We know the man who sent this email, Everett Wells. He and his wife are former members of our church, 1st Baptist, and they've been to Israel many, many times on mission trips. So if Everett sent this, it is true, and it is very, very scary, along with everything else Obama is doing. Please read and if possible, send to all prayer warriors you know. "
Everett Wells sent the following:

" I have just received this: from my friend in Israel, who moves in high circles in Israel .. "

Tonight Clive and I heard very disturbing information – we heard it from a consultant to the United States who meets once a month with the President in the White house. He is in the know. This is what actually has happened with the relationship with Israel and the USA and it is not pretty:

1. Israel during the Bush and Clinton Administrations – had landing rights in Turkey and in the USA bases in the middle east and more recently under George Bush, in Iraq . This was in case they were invaded by Iran or Saudi or any other Arab country. Obama has withdrawn those landing rights. Israel now has nowhere to refuel in the middle East.

2. Benjamin Netanyahu was instructed to come to the white house for a meeting. He was brought in through a servants' entrance – the only head of state ever in US history to be given that disgraceful treatment. He was not offered even a cup of tea – but was lectured to by Obama who told him that he is not permitted to attack Iran and that he has to withdraw all forces from the West bank and may not build any more settlements ( neighborhoods) in East Jerusalem.

3. Israel found out that there were four terrorists meeting in Dubai . As they have done for the past 62 years, they informed the US of that and said that these terrorists had to be dealt with. Obama said under no circumstances. Israel decided to go ahead. They killed the one terrorist who showed up. However the CIA was sent there to film the entire event by Obama – and then a concerted PR campaign was waged by the White house to discredit Israel and what they did – this kind of action has taken place with US support for the past 62 years since we have common enemies.

4. Obama has refused to oppose Syria's re-arming of Hezbollah and Hamas – Israel now sits in imminent danger from the amounts of missiles that can be sent into her territory.

5. Israel will never tell the US again of its plans – since they cannot trust us.

6. Israel intends to attack Iran – there are over 30 installations of which 4 have underground bunkers that contain nuclear weapons. Israel cannot wait any longer. The US is no longer supporting Israel 's self defense.

7. This is the same man that gave the White House a full file on the 9.11 attack – his warnings and proof were laughed at.

8. He believes that the next attacks in the USA will be mass transportation – subways and malls – especially the largest malls where the most people can be killed - and that Vegas and wherever there are conventions of employees will be a huge target. We are not prepared and are naïve in our lack thereof.

9. Once Israel attacks Iran , every Jew and Jewish institution will be at risk – temples, religious schools etc. We must be prepared.

10.This kept a room of 200 people spellbound. It is not fiction. It is fact.

What can be done?
It is essential that everyone who doesn't know yet, now understands that the protection and survival of Israel is not on Obama's list – and he is now taking ACTUAL steps to move all protections away – no more landing rights, negotiating with Iran and Syria, making nice to the Moslem World in the face of allies of long standing and he is no friend of the Jewish people and Israel.

We must be sure that we elect politicians who protect Israel as well as the USA – our interests are intertwined. Please forward to everyone you know. "

Even if you are the most devout Christian, you will have a hard time believing this! No, not that we were, and still are, a Christian Nation... But that these truths have been withheld from us!
