Wee Wee'd Up?

Today, the President tried to belittle the current cloud of dissent surrounding his health care proposals but suggesting that those who oppose his plan are simply "wee wee'd up." First I would like to know what the phrase even means and secondly, let me just say that I find it disturbing that the leader of the free world would even use this kind of language. Please, whoever is in charge of the teleprompter - make sure he has it, because frankly, he appears to be a blathering idiot without it, which is a terrible disappointment.

Yes, the American people are wee wee'd up. Frankly, many of us are spitting mad. I don't like it than in 8 short months my country is barely recognizable. Let's recap, in the last 8 months we have sold our children and grandchildren into servitude for a stimulus that even the administration admits isn't working, we have become the proud owners of several car companies, and now, in our infinite wisdom we are also going to allocate the health care of ALL of our people to the government in one form or another because, Lord knows, they do everything else so well.

Yes, that does make me one very angry American. I want my country back and I have resolved that I am not going to sit idly by and wait for others to fix it for me. I am going to be proactive in being a part of the discussion on the issues that are important to me and to all Americans. I am going to be part of the solution. I think that a proactie electorate - no matter how you vote - is FAR better than what I believe our country is mainly full of - apathetic citizens.

How can anyone sit by while Obama suggests to our senior citizens - many of whom have done more for this country than just about any previous generation of Americans - that they just forego a life prolonging surgery, take a pain pill and say goodnight? Is that what you want for YOUR parent? What about for your child? I don't know about you, but what I want are; more choices not less, lower costs not rationed care, less government interference and more freedom. It really is that simple Mr. President, so if those feelings make me all "wee wee'd up" then I guess that I am guilty as charged.

You know what though? I'm not starting or limiting myself to taking aim at national representatives, I am going to hold my local government officials accountable too. It is high time that they got off their dead asses and actually worked FOR the people. In the chaos of everything that has happened over these last several years, so many seem to have come to this misconception that the government is of the government, by the government, and for the government. It isn't. WE THE PEOPLE are still the ones who matter and it is time we all stand together and show ALL the politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle what real change is and exactly what we can do.

Admiral Yamamoto once said that on the day of Pearl Harbor, he feared his country had "awakened a sleeping giant." He was right, but that giant wasn't the military of the United States or our government - it was the WILL of the American People and now, our own government has made that very same mistake - they have underestimated us. So what say you? Will you go quietly into that good night like a sheep to the slaughter? Or will you STAND UP and make your voice heard?

How can you stand up? Get involved! Actually read the health care proposed bill for yourself and formulate your own opinion on the topic, then get involved. Attend local government meetings, hold your representatives accountable to the will of the people and when they forget who actually runs this government, remind them on election day of who really holds the power in this country. You voice, your choice. Your vote, our hope. Make it count.
