People love America for different reasons. I do too. My reasons for loving this great country of ours is akin to comparing and watching a strong athlete, now ailing and limping. My love for the country besides being faithful to her laws also comes from having the realization that this mighty athlete will not be as nimble, agile, prolific, strong and inspirational as it has been.

This, because someone of her own, beat her down. This is what Americans and the phony leaders who govern her, have been doing to the nation for the past few decades. Beating her down for their own nefarious and petty gains. This great athlete is sick and limping.

Out of the blue, I received an email from a patriotic soul. Genuinely patriotic but with a warped sense of focus on what is most critical. America today is in need of care given to patients in an ICU and soon perhaps in surgery. So when someone sends an email asking me where to stick the thermometer, it mighty pisses me off.

Some Name sent me this message :

Dear friend,
Recently I’ve been learning more about what is slowly happening in our country and to our freedoms, and it isn’t pretty. The bottom line is, our children, grandchildren and all future generations may not grow-up with the freedoms we enjoy today if we don’t wake up, en masse, and take action NOW.  Nothing short of our freedom is at stake and that is no exaggeration.

Please tell Congress to support the Constitution by sending a quick email. It’s easy and vital that you take action now and spread the word. (More details below. ) Your state representative needs to hear from as many constituents as possible about this.  Please take a moment and e-mail your representative today. Follow the link to take action.

The Bill
On October 15, 2007, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) introduced the American Freedom Agenda Act of 2007 (H.R. 3835).  This important piece of legislation would reverse many of the Constitutional abuses that have occurred over the past six years.

In the name of the “war on terror,” the Bush Administration and Congress have repeatedly abandoned Constitutional principles at the expense of civil liberties and human rights.  If we allow this to continue, we may end up living in a nation that reflects the worst nightmare of our Founders. They designed the Constitution specifically to protect our rights against a tyrannical government. Even in times of crisis, we must be true to their vision.

That’s why I just visited the American Freedom Campaign and took action by sending an e-mail urging my U.S representative to co-sponsor this legislation. The pre-written e-mail included a short description of the bill, along with a reminder about the fact that all members of Congress take an oath to “support and defend the Constitution.”

Your representative needs to hear from as many constituents as possible about this. Please take a moment and e-mail your representative today. Follow the link to take action.

Thanks so much for joining me in this effort.

From The American Freedom Campaign

At critical moments in our history, Americans have been called upon to protect our Constitutional guarantees of liberty and justice. We face such a moment today. The American Freedom Campaign is a non-partisan citizens’ alliance formed to reverse the abuse of executive power and restore our system of checks and balances with these ten goals.

Fully restore the right to challenge the legality of one’s detention, or habeas corpus and the right of detained suspects to be charged and brought to trial.

Prohibit torture and all cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.

Prohibit the use of secret evidence.

Prohibit the detention of anyone, including U.S. citizens, as an “enemy combatant” outside the battlefield, and on the President’s say-so alone.

Prohibit the government from secretly breaking and entering our homes, tapping our phones or email, or seizing our computers without a court order, on the President’s say-so alone.

Prohibit the President from “disappearing” anyone and holding them in secret detention.

Prohibit the executive from claiming “state secrets” to deny justice to victims of government misdeeds, and from claiming “executive privilege” to obstruct Congressional oversight and an open government.

Prohibit the abuse of signing statements, where the President seeks to disregard duly enacted provisions of bills.

Use the federal courts, or courts-martial, to charge and prosecute terrorism suspects, and close Guantanamo down.

Reaffirm that the Espionage Act does not prohibit journalists from reporting on classified national security matters without fear of prosecution.

To which I wrote :

What about

Illegal Immigration?????
Cross border smuggling?????
Having English as the national language????

You liberals already destroyed America as is. You kids will be ruled by illegal immigrants in the next 200 years.

Stupid sleepy Americans.

Someone Emailed back :

Chris,

You make very good points, however none of these areas are covered by the Constitution.  The Constitution covers our basic rights like, right to freedom of speech, freedom to gather, freedom to travel and move about, freedom to privacy, freedom to do as we please in our own homes, everybody is EQUAL (not segregated or treated by class, color, economic status etc.) …. The right to come and go as we please when we please – all the freedoms that Americans take so for granted – are given to us by our Constitution.

Since 1776 people have sacrificed their lives so that we can have these basic human rights and not be controlled by the power hungry.  Unfortunately the power hungry are crowding in our our human rights and personal freedoms and little by little eroding the power that the Constitution has.

The Constitution is the highest law in the land.  Without it being enforced and honored as is, America becomes a free for all for international financial power mongers (not the WHilte house, they are manipulated too) and no freedom in this country is guaranteed.  People can be subject to false imprisonment, jailed for writing a particular email or message, prevented from traveling, detained for no reason…. [all these are prevented by our Constitution.]

We Americans take a lot for granted.  It’s time we wake up and see our basic rights are being stripped and protect ourselves.

These same international powers also plan to combine the US, Mexico and Canada into ONE Country, eliminating borders.  The Constitution prohibits this.  Don’t you think if there were NO BORDERS we would have a TERRIBLE “immigration” problem?  Of course, then it would not be immigration at all.

Please fully appreciate the protection afforded the American people by the Constitution.  Too many American’s don’t.

I want to be free!

In Appreciation and Joy!

To which I replied :

Some Name,

Very respectfully, I am not as knowledgeable as you are. But I understand where attention must be focused first hand. That being said, petitions will not cut it. This country is being sold in bits and parts and owned by global forces beyond the capacity for you and me to repair. Unless we have a Roosevelt or a Washington, very little will change.

But, keep the fight on. That makes you a true American.

Sincerely
Chris

And Some Name emailed, (other than the one above) very politely to a group and rudely to me personally as if attacking me in public would not be looked upon so kindly by her peers. What the fuck do I care? When I am pissed, check my language. I care less, whom I appease.

Message to a group in response to my message :

Sigh…sorry everyone. I thought everyone on my list was American, and/or would know what the Constitution is and impacts. My bad.

This is clearly a NON-partisan issue that impacts all Americans equally.

Some Name

Message to me exclusively in response to my same exact message :

What are you talking about? Whether liberal, or not (and I’m NOT – libertarian actually, if you know the difference) the Constitution is the very framework of our country. How does restoring the Constitution perpetuate the things you wrote of? This is an NON-partisan issue.

And thanks a lot for sending your rude and thoughtless reply to my friends and family. You only got this because Windows automatically adds everyone I correspond with to my address book – my bad. Sorry to bother you.

Some Name

PS We “stupid, sleepy Americans” (apparently you are not one) are waking up (stupid by design – read The Underground History of American Education) To learn the truth about illegal immigration, watch “The Endgame”. Read:  “The End of America” by Naomi Wolf, and “The Revolution” by Ron Paul.

My final response :

The constitution is also made up of laws. One cannot be selective and yet proclaim to be the bearer of justice.

I don’t wanna debate this anymore. Go fight for your cause and save this pending doom and gloom. America will be thankful for your efforts.

Love and best wishes
Chris

I was not rude. I said it like it is. And that bitch should know that I am an American as well. Her proclamation does not decide who is one. She should stand guard at the border and prevent the invasion of 2000 plus illegal aliens who cross the border every day and become instant Americans, whether we (by design or by flawed intellect) want to accept it or not.

I am right. In order for this country to be restored to its glory, we need leaders like Washington and Roosevelt. These Fomabas and the Mycain’s will only kiss ass for as long as what tastes best for their power base. And these sleepy bozos in the 7th hour of 8 are up in arms sending some sellout senator or congressman, congresswoman to take a look at their impotent petition.

Will they succeed? Not if there are more illegal aliens than Americans receiving their petition request. And this is where things are headed. The invasion of the land and annexation of government is in full speed, while these old farts are sending petitions.

A leader stands behind the motherland. 100%. The leader is not selective in his or her judgment. A leader does not bend the rules. A leader does not break laws.

Today, we have nothing short of criminals running government. Or at least until they get caught.

Pity America. She deserves better.

And yeah! Stupid sleepy Americans. Wake up!

Take charge or perish : This is why in my last post, I had a clear reasoning why humans should perish in order for the planet and our environment to survive. The same goes for the business world. Many must perish in order for a few to make it. And those who perish have a mindset like the fellow who I had exchanged emails with recently.

There are a privileged few on this planet who will first question you as to what you can do for them far as work is concerned rather than showing you what they have done and the extent of work and sacrifices they have put forth in order to make their business happen.

No Mr Jones, no one is responsible for your success. When I, as a business owner approach someone to sell them the value of the system, I am not saying to them – “This business makes me $150k per year. It will do the same for you. Why don’t you join, while I work my ass off for you and it will make you the same amount of money?”

No! I don’t do that. These people as in so called entrepreneur wannabes do not realize that success, rewards and results are all based on the self. Yes, there are instances where the person inviting their client to their business should assist and help the new business owner grow, by way of referrals and sales. Yet, this is taken for granted and many people who join in any kind of business, especially an online business expect their team leader, sponsor to carry the load for them.

The gentleman, whose email I received below claims to have been involved with network marketing since 1980. Today he is unemployed and presumably broke. How can that be? 28 years hence! Did he fail for lack of work ethic and vision or was his circumstances faulted on his peers or worse because of the companies he was involved with? I don’t know.

What I know is, something went terribly wrong and the man who is crying foul should take 100% of the responsibility of his apparent or perhaps real failure by looking inward rather than point fingers elsewhere.

Some concerns are understandable and I can relate with it. What pissed me off was his last 2 apprehensions or rather belief system, which I couldn’t come to terms with. Although a mentor and sponsor’s help is essential, these folks do not strive to put the time, work and sweat required to attain the knowledge and expert status gained by others in their field.

They are forever looking upwards to someone else as their light source. No brother! The light source is within you. Go online. Read what other people do. Research. Not for a day or two, but everyday. Until you get it. Take risks. Go through your business with trials and errors. Be doggedly determined by taking actions and not just talking around the water coolers. Share your business. Inspire others. Keep selling. Never give up.

These are but a few of the things mentors do. Hey! You don’t need a mentor beyond a week. You can be the one. Take charge. Take action. Consistently. Every day! Did it sink in yet? If not, read over. Did those words mean anything at all?

Below is his grievances.

Let’s be real for a moment…. I know network marketing and others since 1980. I connect with companies that have products or services that I use and benefit me. I share them with others have made some money. nothing great… because I never had a sponsor that helped me in the way I needed help for my success.

I just invested in [Some Company]

[Some Link]

That will make me a 7 figure / year income within 3-5 years. People don’t realize the paradigm shift that is happening with [some industry] life events. I am learning to lead myself and my team. Which is tough. However I must do it. I am cause motivated… and immediate money motivated due to my financial situation.

So if you want me to be a part of your organization,

1st – basics of your product… value, cost, what it does for people etc
2nd – how much time are you willing to invest in me building an income for us….
3rd – I have been unemployed and I am looking for a job/income… do you have a way to make us both money before I spend money…

Those are the basics.

If you want to pursue this business relationship… let’s talk how do I get a hold of you?

Thanks,
[Some Name]

My Response

[Some Name], I make over $150k a year, every year with my business. Your 2nd and 3rd questions are absurd.

You are not going to make it with that kind of a mindset. I will give you a sponsor. Work your ass off if you wanna make it through. Take charge or perish.

What I said to him will be hard for him to digest. The business world is not for everyone. This is why the business ecosystem effectively and ruthlessly weeds out the failures and the losers, not because they did not try. But, because they did not try HARD ENOUGH! LONG ENOUGH!

Becoming successful is all about the SELF. The moment you point fingers elsewhere, you are (in my eyes) a big, huge, pathetic loser. You should have never been attempting to start or expect to succeed in any business anyways.

Brutal, but true. Take charge or perish!

I received a group invitation where members joining that specific group are assisted with building their friends list the fastest way possible without getting banned by Facebook.

Wow! – The herd is trampling the path to wisdom all over again. The goal is to run. The idea to get there (wherever that ‘There” is,) the fastest. The prize is to find something they believe lies at the horizon. They all fall off the cliff.

Some folks simply burn time as if deep down inside their acute consciousness, they are convinced that they are immortal.

Yes, I was invited and this was my response.

Some Name,
Why are you doing this? What is the end goal? How much $$$ are you going to make for sure? If you don’t know for sure, why are you wasting your time doing this?

You may disagree with me, but can you fool yourself? Come to me after 60 days and record data + ROI on how much you benefited by this exercise in real dollar value.

Chris
