Dear Editor,&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;In recent  weeks Mr. Ray Peck has had multiple letters published in our local  paper.  He lists himself from Helena and thus I am not sure why he feels  the need to submit his opinion to the residents of Granite County.   However, given his multiple questions within his letters I would like to  take a moment to move past political punditry, and focus not on a  tautological opinion, but on an educated analysis.&lt;br&gt;
     Mr. Peck  implied that &amp;quot;right wing folks back east&amp;quot; have complained of being  maligned by the process used to pass health care reform, which I might  add, is not health care reform,&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;This poll showed some startling results&lt;/b&gt; if you only listen to Mainstream Media and the Government line. The biggest surprise is that the general public wants the government, regardless of political affiliation, to stop spending money the country doesn't have&lt;i&gt;, &lt;/i&gt;become more energy independent, and support the growth of communities.&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;In the Overview of this report it is also noted that:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"A recent poll by Smart Growth America has found that in the midst of a struggling&lt;br /&gt;
U.S. economy, support for smart growth strategies remains high among Americans&lt;br /&gt;
on both sides of the aisle.&lt;br /&gt;
The poll focused specifically on support for sustainable communities: urban,&lt;br /&gt;
suburban or rural communities that have more housing and transportation choices,&lt;br /&gt;
are closer to jobs, shops or schools, are more energy independent and help protect&lt;br /&gt;
clean air and water. Making communities more sustainable means generating more&lt;br /&gt;
jobs, lowering housing and transportation costs and using limited public funds more&lt;br /&gt;
wisely.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
March  9, 2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #404040;"&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.oftwominds.com/mobileOTM.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_5"&gt;(Mobile version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #404040;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Public employees and their leaders  could publicly recognize the structural and demographic changes in the  U.S. economy, and vow to tax the top 1% instead of supporting terribly  regressive junk fees and &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_6"&gt;sales  tax increases&lt;/span&gt; on the working poor and the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_7"&gt;middle class tax&lt;/span&gt; donkeys  who pay most of the taxes. The fact that they refuse to acknowledge  these realities and refuse to take on the Financial Elites speaks  volumes.&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Here's what representatives of public-sector unions and  public employees could be saying, instead of what they are saying:&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;There are over 20 million Federal, state and local  government employees, and about 106 million &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_8"&gt;private sector workers&lt;/span&gt;. We work for you, and  for the good of our communities and of the nation. That is a big  responsibility.  Back in the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_9"&gt;stock  market bubble&lt;/span&gt; of 1995 to 1999, our wages, pensions and benefits  were "sweetened," sometimes administratively and sometimes with voter  approval. In the years since, what looked at the time like it would be  paid by stock market gains rather than additional taxes has been  revealed as wishful thinking.  &lt;br /&gt;
We recognize that the U.S. economy has changed structurally, and  it cannot return to 1999. We also recognize that the demographics of the  nation have irrevocably changed since 1999, and thus it is wrong to  burden future workers with pension and benefit costs which only made  sense in an era of stock prices rising 10% or more annually.  &lt;br /&gt;
In response to the shortfall between what we were granted in  1995-1999 and what the "new normal" recessionary economy can support,  state and local governments have aggressively raised the most terribly &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_10" style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;"&gt;regressive taxes&lt;/span&gt;: junk  fees--parking tickets, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_11"&gt;vehicle  license fees&lt;/span&gt;, and so on--and sales taxes.  &lt;br /&gt;
These taxes are paid by everyone, rich and poor alike, and so  they are deeply regressive.  &lt;br /&gt;
Most of the Federal and &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_12" style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;"&gt;state income taxes&lt;/span&gt; are paid by upper-middle  class workers and small business, including &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_13" style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;"&gt;sole proprietors&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_14" style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;"&gt;independent contractors&lt;/span&gt;.  Almost 40% of all workers--those with lower incomes--pay no income tax  at all. The top 1%, meanwhile, pay on average about 17% of their income  in total taxes--less than half the rate paid by upper-middle class wage  earners.  &lt;br /&gt;
We understand that roughly two-thirds of the nation's households  are measurably poorer in income and assets than they were a few short  years ago. We understand that gains in productivity have not flowed to  the incomes of most private-sector workers, but have instead flowed to  the top via corporate profits and bonuses to the top slice of  private-sector employees.  &lt;br /&gt;
We also understand that the American workforce is aging, and that  demographics are dictating that we as a nation need to work longer if  our retirement plans are to remain solvent.  &lt;br /&gt;
In recognition of these realities, we in the public sector are  voluntarily renouncing all the "sweeteners" which were awarded during  the bubble years of 1995-1999, as they have been revealed as  unaffordable. Our retirement and benefits will revert to the base year  of 1995, before the bubble distorted the system and the economy, and be  adjusted for inflation since then as measured by the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_15"&gt;Consumer Price Index (CPI)&lt;/span&gt;.   &lt;br /&gt;
In recognition of the nation's demographic realities, we are  moving our &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_16"&gt;retirement age&lt;/span&gt;  up to those of the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_17" style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Social  Security system&lt;/span&gt;: 62 for reduced benefits and 67 for full  retirement benefits.  &lt;br /&gt;
We understand that raising "stealth taxes" via junk fees and  highly regressive sales taxes places great burdens on households which  are already straining to make ends meet.  &lt;br /&gt;
As a result, we are putting our political weight behind an  alternative way to bolster state and local government finances: "make  the top 1% pay the same tax rate as the rest of us." If the top 1% paid  the same 40% rate as higher-income workers pay, then that would only be  equitable.  &lt;br /&gt;
We will also fight to reverse the regressive increases in sales  taxes and junk fees which have been imposed on those least able to  afford more taxes.  &lt;br /&gt;
The super-wealthy--those households with incomes above $1 million  annually, and with financial assets above $5 million-- are the most  politically powerful group in the nation, and so getting them to pay the  same tax rates as we pay will be a difficult battle. They own or  control the political class, the tax attorneys, the tax-avoidance scams  and the offshore accounts.  &lt;br /&gt;
But taking more money from households who are struggling to get  by with highly regressive taxes and junk fees is simply wrong, just as  it is unjust that the super-wealthy avoid paying the same tax rates that  ordinary workers pay.  &lt;br /&gt;
We ask for your support in this campaign to reverse regressive  taxes and make the top 1% pay the same tax rate as the rest of us. &lt;/blockquote&gt;What  is not being said is this: &lt;b&gt;public employees are dependent on, and  benefit from, the State's monopoly to collect taxes and fees via  coercion.&lt;/b&gt; Private-sector workers cannot rely on a &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_18"&gt;coercive monopoly&lt;/span&gt; to  extract their wages from others. This is the key difference between the  public and &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_19"&gt;private  sectors&lt;/span&gt;.  To the degree that junk fees and taxes have been raised  administratively by a political class that is beholden to the  super-wealthy Financial Elites and cartel-State fiefdoms, then &lt;b&gt;the  imposition of regressive junk fees and other taxes is &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_20"&gt;taxation without representation&lt;/span&gt;,  i.e. tyranny.&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
Public employees benefit from this tyranny, private-sector  workers do not. That is a key difference between the two.  &lt;br /&gt;
Given that the political class only represents cartel-State  fiefdoms and Financial Elites, then the only taxes which aren't a form  of tyranny are those approved by voters.  &lt;br /&gt;
While there is always a danger of "the tyranny of the majority"  in the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299703434_21"&gt;ballot box&lt;/span&gt;,  it is certainly less tyrannical than administratively imposing  regressive taxes and exorbitant junk fees on the working poor and the  middle class tax donkeys.  &lt;br /&gt;
The consent of the governed (and thus of the taxed) can be  revoked at any time.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;If this  sounds bizarre, don’t worry – you’re not alone. Many in the media are wondering why Olympia Snowe still claims to  be a Republican.&amp;nbsp; The Atlantic writes: “Snowe has established a reputation as one of the least reliable Republican votes in the Senate.”  An article in Slate recently said, “Joining the Democrats wouldn't force Snowe to change her voting habits too much and it would  liberate her from the increasingly uncompromising demands of the GOP base.” Even the Washington Post speculated that she may switch sides  like Benedict Arnold Arlen Specter, asking, “What are Snowe's options? One possibility would be for Snowe to defect to the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299249282_9" style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Democratic Party&lt;/span&gt;.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;We at Tea  Party Express have no respect for career politicians like Snowe who  claim to represent us, but stab us in the back every chance they get.&amp;nbsp; That is why we have launched a campaign  to Shovel Snowe Out of the Senate!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;Our  message to these politicians is this:&amp;nbsp; You Failed, So You're Fired.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;You can support our campaign to "Defeat Olympia Snowe" by making the best contribution you can - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://secure.donationsafe.com/tea/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;CLICK&amp;nbsp;HERE to CONTRIBUTE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;i&gt;21 Goals of the Illuminati and The Committee of 300 : Part 3&lt;br /&gt;

15. To export "religious liberation" ideas around the world so as to undermine all existing religions, but more especially the Christian religion. This began with the "Jesuit Liberation Theology", that brought an end to the Somoza Family rule in Nicaragua, and which today is destroying El Salvador, now 25 years into a "civil war". Costa Rica and Honduras are also embroiled in revolutionary activities, instigated by the Jesuits. One very active entity engaged in the so-called liberation theology, is the Communist-oriented Mary Knoll Mission. This accounts for the extensive media attention to the murder of four of Mary Knoll's so-called nuns in El Salvador a few years ago. The four nuns were Communist subversive agents and their activities were widely documented by the Government of El Salvador. The US press and the new media refused to give any space or coverage to the mass of documentation possessed by the Salvadorian Government, which proved what the Mary Knoll Mission nuns were doing in the country. Mary Knoll is in service in many countries, and placed a leading role in bringing Communism to Rhodesia, Moçambique, Angola and South Africa.&lt;br /&gt;
16. To cause a total collapse of the world's economies and engender total political chaos.&lt;br /&gt;
17. To take control of all foreign and domestic policies of the US.&lt;br /&gt;
18. To give the fullest support to supranational institutions such as the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Bank of International Settlements, the World Court and, as far as possible, make local institutions less effective, by gradually phasing them out or bringing them under the mantle of the UN.&lt;br /&gt;
19. To penetrate and subvert all governments, and work from within them to destroy the sovereign integrity of the nations represented by them.&lt;br /&gt;
20. To organize a world-wide terrorist apparatus and to negotiate with terrorists whenever terrorist activities take place. It will be recalled that it was Bettino Craxi, who persuaded the Italian and US Governments to negotiate with the Red Brigades kidnapers of Prime Minister Moro and General Dozier. As an aside, Dozier was placed under strict orders not to talk what happened to him. Should he ever break that silence, he will no doubt be made "a horrible example of", in the manner in which Henry Kissinger dealt with Aldo Moro, Ali Bhutto and General Zia ul Haq.&lt;br /&gt;
21. To take control of education in America with the intent and purpose of utterly and completely destroying it. By 1993, the full force effect of this policy is becoming apparent, and will be even more destructive as primary and secondary schools begin to teach "Outcome Based Education" (OBE).</description><link>http://belladangelo.blogspot.com/2011/02/21-goals-of-illuminati-and-comittee-of.html</link><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bella Dangelo)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478578639593769459.post-8797024359611556860</guid><pubDate>Sat, 26 Feb 2011 15:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-02-26T07:21:00.613-08:00</atom:updated><title>21 Goals of The Illuminati and The Committee of 300: Part 2</title><description>&lt;i&gt;21 Goals of the Illuminati and The Committee of 300 : Part 2&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
9. To cause. by means of limited wars in the advanced countries, by means of starvation and diseases in the Third World countries, the death of three billion people by the year 2050, people they call "useless eaters". The Committee of 300 (Illuminati) commissioned Cyrus Vance to write a paper on this subject of how to bring about such genocide. The paper was produced under the title "Global 2000 Report" and was accepted and approved for action by former President James Earl Carter, and Edwin Muskie, then Secretary of States, for and on behalf of the US Government. Under the terms of the Global 2000 Report, the population of the US is to be reduced by 100 million by the year of 2050.&lt;br /&gt;
10. To weaken the moral fiber of the nation and to demoralize workers in the labor class by creating mass unemployment. As jobs dwindle due to the post industrial zero growth policies introduced by the Club of Rome, the report envisages demoralized and discouraged workers resorting to alcohol and drugs. The youth of the land will be encouraged by means of rock music and drugs to rebel against the status quo, thus undermining and eventually destroying the family unit. In this regard, the Committee commissioned Tavistock Institute to prepare a blueprint as to how this could be achieved. Tavistock directed Stanford Research to undertake the work under the direction of Professor Willis Harmon. This work later became known as the "Aquarian Conspiracy".&lt;br /&gt;
11. To keep people everywhere from deciding their own destinies by means of one created crisis after another and then "managing" such crises. This will confuse and demoralize the population to the extent where faced with too many choices, apathy on a massive scale will result. In the case of the US, an agency for Crisis Management is already in place. It is called the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), whose existence I first enclosed in 1980.&lt;br /&gt;
12. To introduce new cults and continue to boost those already functioning which include rock music gangsters such as the Rolling Stones (a gangster group much favored by European Black Nobility), and all of the Tavistock-created rock groups which began with the Beatles.&lt;br /&gt;
13. To continue to build up the cult of Christian Fundamentalism begun by the British East India Company's servant Darby, which will be misused to strengthen the Zionist State of Israel by identifying with the Jews through the myth of "God's chosen people", and by donating very substantial amounts of money to what they mistakenly believe is a religious cause in the furtherance of Christianity.&lt;br /&gt;
14. To press for the spread of religious cults such as the Moslem Brotherhood, Moslem Fundamentalism, the Sikhs, and to carry out mind control experiments of the Jim Jones and "Son of Sam" type. It is worth noting that the late Khomeini was a creation of British Military Intelligence Div. 6, MI6. This detailed work spelled out the step-by-step process which the US Government implemented to put Khomeini in power.</description><link>http://belladangelo.blogspot.com/2011/02/21-goals-of-illuminati-and-committee-of_26.html</link><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bella Dangelo)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478578639593769459.post-8073266437529705038</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Feb 2011 15:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-02-25T07:21:36.954-08:00</atom:updated><title>21 Goals of the Illuminati and The Committee of 300 : Part</title><description>&lt;style&gt;

1. To establish a One World Government/New World Order with a &lt;b&gt;unified church and monetary system&lt;/b&gt; under their direction. The One World Government began to set up its church in the 1920:s and 30:s, for they realized the need for a religious belief inherent in mankind must have an outlet and, therefore, set up a "church" body to channel that belief in the direction they desired.&lt;br /&gt;
2. To bring about the utter destruction of all national identity and national pride, which was a primary consideration if the concept of a One World Government was to work.&lt;br /&gt;
3. To engineer and bring about the destruction of religion, and more especially, the Christian Religion, with the one exception, their own creation, as mentioned above.&lt;br /&gt;
4. To establish the ability to control of each and every person through means of mind control and what&lt;b&gt; Zbignew Brzezinski&lt;/b&gt; called &lt;b&gt;techonotronics&lt;/b&gt;, which would create human-like robots and a system of terror which would make Felix Dzerzinhski's Red Terror look like children at play.&lt;br /&gt;
5. To bring about the &lt;b&gt;end to all industrialization&lt;/b&gt; and the production of nuclear generated electric power in what they call "the post-industrial zero-growth society". Excepted are the computer- and service industries. US industries that remain will be exported to countries such as Mexico where abundant slave labor is available. As we saw in 1993, this has become a fact through the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement, known as NAFTA. Unemployables in the US, in the wake of industrial destruction, will either become opium-heroin and/or cocaine addicts, or become statistics in the elimination of the "excess population" process we know of today as Global 2000.&lt;br /&gt;
6. To encourage, and eventually legalize the use of drugs and make pornography an "art-form", which will be widely accepted and, eventually, become quite commonplace.&lt;br /&gt;
7. To bring about depopulation of large cities according to the trial run carried out by the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia. It is interesting to note that Pol Pot's genocidal plans were drawn up in the US by one of the Club of Rome's research foundations, and overseen by Thomas Enders, a high-ranking State Department official. It is also interesting that the committee is currently seeking to reinstate the Pol Pot butchers in Cambodia.&lt;br /&gt;
8. To suppress all scientific development except for those deemed beneficial by the Illuminati. Especially targeted is nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. Particularly hated are the fusion experiments currently being scorned and ridiculed by the Illuminati and its jackals of the press. Development of the fusion torch would blow the Illuminati's conception of "limited natural resources" right out of the window. A fusion torch, properly used, could create unlimited and as yet untapped natural resources, even from the most ordinary substances. Fusion torch uses are legion, and would benefit mankind in a manner which, as yet, is not even remotely comprehended by the public.</description><link>http://belladangelo.blogspot.com/2011/02/21-goals-of-illuminati-and-committee-of.html</link><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bella Dangelo)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478578639593769459.post-8088152304883408032</guid><pubDate>Thu, 17 Feb 2011 17:58:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-02-17T09:58:07.367-08:00</atom:updated><title>How much has Obama cost us so far???</title><description>Our President has increased the size of the Federal Budget and National Debt at an unprecedented rate.

&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;We have been busy...very busy...we decided a couple of weeks ago to start an internet radio station complete with daily shows and music...and then a friend approached us about an exciting possibility...an entire Conservative Internet Radio Network. This is not going to be a run-of-the-mill operation. If it works out this will be a state of the art, full scale, professional Network with professional grade equipment and corporate sponsors. In the end it will provide a Huge-Mongous megaphone, in a growing industry, for the Conservative point of view to be shouted to our country. There is a lot of ground work still to be done but it looks promising. Below is a letter we sent to express our excitment and dedication to this project.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt; Hi Tom,&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I am so excited about the project and vision you have shared with us today.  The idea of being part of building a &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;world class Internet Radio Network&lt;/span&gt; from the ground up, with the driving force behind it being a true dedication getting our country, and our people, back to the &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;core foundation&lt;/span&gt;, of our Constitution. This is the Mission and Vision our Big Girl needs. Getting the message out to our country that there is still hope and we can still restore our nation, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://belladangelo.blogspot.com/2011/02/exciting-possibility-conservative.html#more"&gt;Read more »&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://belladangelo.blogspot.com/2011/02/exciting-possibility-conservative.html</link><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bella Dangelo)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478578639593769459.post-4718837734830230179</guid><pubDate>Fri, 04 Feb 2011 03:07:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-02-03T19:11:00.451-08:00</atom:updated><title>Introduction to Government 101</title><description>&lt;b&gt;When you started employment did anyone really explain to you, FICA, FUDA, SUDA, AND WHERE THE HELL YOUR TAXES WENT? &lt;/b&gt;Did any one explain to you that each and every week, your payroll department would hand over up to 40 % of your check... each and every single week?&amp;nbsp; Then&amp;nbsp; was it explained to you that you had two options...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;1. &lt;b&gt;Do nothing and have no clue&lt;/b&gt; where that money is going, how it is spent, who benefits from it. Oh and by the way... there is no residual or interest on your “ loan”. The receiver has no incentive, other than the vein hooked up to the main, to pay you back. The incentive is to to run to cash that government check (oops... your check) to buy next addiction and suck the life out of you. A constant "freeze your brain train money train" self entitlement shopping spree on anyone’s dime but their own. No end in sight, no crime to fight, that is the way the FOG FOLLOWERS LEAD OTHERS TO THE KOOL AID …&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;Where you told of the other option&lt;/b&gt;? The other option is to become a Patriot American... A Card Carrying Informed American Citizen... God Fearing God Loving.... Self informed and Self Declared... born of this country, or legally immigrated here, with the American Core Values and Fundamental Beliefs that brings us all together as Americans. We drive our selves and the Big Girl with a foundation of Love of our Founding Father’s. We support and uphold our Girl and what She has stood for, Capitalism, Industry and Democracy. Paying full mind, and VOTE, to our Self Sufficient, Self Reliant Survivalist Capitalist beginnings. To participate in running a Country with true Clear Vision of the Mission. To defend a long held ideal and fight to cut the self-entitled from the Main Vein... to create a New Independence Day.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why would you shut down, give up&lt;/b&gt;? Why would you turn a blind eye and give up your voice. Who took away your voice?... Who convinced you that you had no power. When did you give up and why?&amp;nbsp; Did you declare you just were treated unfair and did not understand the rules? That is a VICTIM attitude. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I ask of you,&lt;/b&gt; those who have taken cover and refuse to stand and deliver...who refuse to fight for the rights and privileges you have as an American citizen... &lt;b&gt;PLEASE STAND AND DELIVER... LOCK AND LOAD... YOU HOLD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN YOUR HANDS TO SUPPORT OR DESTROY.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; ONE WOULD ASK AT&amp;nbsp; A DANCE, "REALLY?... YOU LEFT HER AT THE CURB?&amp;nbsp; YOU DITCHED HER FOR THE CHEAP SKIRT?... FOR THE SHORT AND EASY INSTEAD OF THE GREATER GLORY OF THE HARD FOUGHT???

We of that era had those day’s but we also had a link to the By Gone Era... to the one’s who knew what it was like to work hard and have little and to be proud of the Core Values and Foundations that they stood for and built upon. There was no immediate gratification, no fast lane speed lane sane lane. There were no Bubbles and Ponzi Schemes and no take you down into the back seat, hell back door Van Floor, kill you as fast as Grab your Ass.  There was a sense of some security behind and in front of the Big Girl. We did not Fear our President nor the government. We feared real fears Communism, Socialism, and dictatorship. What are our real fears today in our own back yard, Communism, Socialism and Dictatorship? &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;I just wanted to thank everyone&lt;/b&gt; for your  help, guidance and interest. I have never embarked on such a huge vision. I am learning as I am going. I am grateful to have been connected to all of you and have learned much from you all. &lt;b&gt;If there is anything that I can do to give back let me know. Pay it forward.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;One valuable lesson learned out of the starting gate.&lt;/b&gt; New team members will disagree, the most professional approach is "One on One" to resolve the conflict. One also needs to question motives when we are publicly attacked. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Also, I have no problem with criticism and questions, ask me anything.&lt;/b&gt; I stand beside, along and in front of me. I hide from nothing and have nothing to hide from. I am unedited, raw and gutsy as hell. There is only truth on this one's tattoo...  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;God Bless everyone and our Joined Mission to Fight To Win Back our Life and Liberty.&lt;/b&gt; Bring back the Big Girl to her Core Values, The Constitution, Bill of Rights, Ten Commandments. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;God Fearing God Loving, AMEN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Lock and Load Point and Click... Direct... there is no other way out of the fog and into the LIGHT OF FREEDOM&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;I believe that by returning to the founding principles of our American heritage we can regain our lost liberty.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Author Bella Dangelo's Book..."Von Zeppelin To The Other Side" is the story of her struggle to regain life and liberty by returning to the fundamentals that made America great and gave us all hope for the American Dream.</description><link>http://belladangelo.blogspot.com/2011/01/we-people.html</link><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bella Dangelo)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478578639593769459.post-3697642942636740447</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 Jan 2011 20:43:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-01-16T12:43:11.159-08:00</atom:updated><title>American Values and the Constitution- Introduction</title><description>&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;American Values and the Constitution- &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;by Bella Dangelo&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How do we collectively, as a Nation, return to the American Values and Principles that worked for so long?&lt;/b&gt; The core values and fundamental principles laid out for us in the U.S. Constitution that our country have general forgotten or turned away from... what made the BIG GIRL the greatest, most prosperous, nation in history. The fundamental ideas that are embodied in the United States Constitution were not put there by accident or whim. The wise men who envisioned the unique nature of our system of government were not fools. They had seen the history of other forms of government that allowed a few &amp;quot;ELITE&amp;quot; men the privilege and authority to rule over the masses. They were well aware that if they chose to follow those same failed structures of government our nation would see the same result...tyranny and oppression.   &lt;br&gt;
