SO much has happened!

In the time I laid off of this blog, so much has happened. The stimulus package, the health care debacle. LOTS of stuff. However, what has happened, for me at least, has been something that has renewed my faith in the people of this great nation. I am proud of the folks who are finally standing up and voicing their opinions to the politicians.

A scant few of the politicians are even listening. They see the every-day folks get up and voice their protests and opinions or ask tough questions as nothing but white noise. They accuse the folks trying to hold them accountable of being paid protesters and the movement for accountability as being "astro turf" instead of grass roots.

I own a barbershop in a small Texas town. I get people of all walks of life coming in, because I am on a highway that runs between more populous areas. The folks that I talk to on a daily basis are telling me the same things and wanting to ask the same questions as the very people in the "town hall" meetings.

I know people who have never even voted in their lives and they are now getting out and going to tea parties. They have registered to vote, and they are going to be counted in 2010. The majority are still listening, still hanging back, but they are beginning to get involved.

I am proud of people for standing up for what is right and trying to hold their representatives accountable. The ultimate expression of that sentiment comes in a years time and at the polls. The people of this nation may have seemed to have a short term political memory in the past, but that has changed.

God bless America! God bless the freedom loving people who are fighting to preserve this nation! I love you guys!

The Blog is Back!

Okay, folks. I did not realize how many people were actually looking at this blog. People all over Tatum have been asking me what happened to it. When Coach D. asked me what happened to this blog, I figured I would put it back up, regardless of the threats I have received over my opinions regarding the Carrie Prejean story.
So, yeah! The Redneck is BACK!
