Coffee Mug of the Week

It is no secret that I really don’t like the current administration. And, if the truth be known, I don’t like the increasing government intrusion that seems to have occurred over the past decade or so. I think that the Consititution has been turned into a list of suggestions, much like the Ten Commandments.
SO….I could not resist this Disappearing Civil Liberties mug and more than likely it will be finding its way into my home very soon…
Yep. The entire Bill of Rights is listed on the mug. As you pour hot coffee in and you rights disappear one…by….one. Constitutional erosion – it’s what is happening in Washington only this is quicker and at least you get caffeinated at the same time.

LOL I have to get some of these to give out to friends and family
great, aren’t they?
Hey!
I agree completely. BUT…America, don’t stop there. It is VITAL to the survival of AMERICA and each and every person “who holds these truths to be self evident” to NOT be a spetator. We were given this inheritance by people just like you and me who gave the ULTIMATE so that generations would continue to be blessed. CALL your Congressmen/women, CALL your Senators, CALL your Representatives, CALL the White House, KEEP it respectful but SERIOUS…tell them how they have abandonded the OATH they took to uphold and defend our constitution, DON’T accept the wishy washy blah blah blah. Tell them that as of right now, they have been given the PINK SLIP, and when election time comes, they will be the one standing in the unemployment line.
Remember the “tea bags?” that were being mailed to them? Well, it’s time NOW AMERICA, cut PINK SLIPS of paper, WRITE their name on it and mail it to them. WE ALL know what a PINK SLIP means.
Then tell all your friends and families who value AMERICA. Look, I am not saying that we are perfect, NO WAY, but AMERICA is the last SUPER power in the world, we have our serious faults, and those who are selling us down the river are BETTING and COUNTING on each of NOT saying or DOING anything—WRONG! Remember Merle Haggard’s song? “Fightin’ side of me” Take a look:
Artist: Haggard Merle
Song: Fightin’ Side of Me
Album: For the Record: 43 Legendary Hits
I hear people talkin’ bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin’ on the wars we fight,
An’ gripin’ ’bout the way things oughta be.
An’ I don’t mind ‘em switchin’ sides,
An’ standin’ up for things they believe in.
When they’re runnin’ down my country, man,
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Runnin’ down the way of life,
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep.
If you don’t love it, leave it:
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’.
If you’re runnin’ down my country, man,
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
I read about some squirrely guy,
(sound like those in Congress, the Senate, House of Reps.? or how about Government Run Health Care, Car companies and Banks?)
Who claims, he just don’t believe in fightin’.
An’ I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein’ free.
They love our milk an’ honey,
But they preach about some other way of livin’.
(So called “Social Justice” making laws that dicatate “spreading” wealth evenly between those who have worked hard and those who believe IT is OWED to them)
When they’re runnin’ down my country, hoss,
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Runnin’ down the way of life,
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep.
If you don’t love it, leave it:
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’.
If you’re runnin’ down my country, man,
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Runnin’ down the way of life,
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep.
If you don’t love it, leave it:
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’.
If you’re runnin’ down my country, man,
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
FINALLY—There should be a verse about BAIL OUTS of those who gambled and lost…then FORCING you, your children, your grand children, and me to PAY for their GREED?!?!?!
Sorry…but this song is so true and real…I LOVE AMERICA and I will defend my country NO MATTER what the cost!!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
