Along with millions of others I watched Joe Wurzelbackher, AKA Joe the Plumber, confront Barack Obama while he was campaigning in Ohio concerning confiscation of his Hard Earned dollars that Joe will make working as a Plumber. At the same time I was pleased that Obama said in plain language what he intends to inflict on the working class if elected: take from those who work and give it to those who don’t.
I know from observation, while working for a short time as a plumber’s helper, how difficult the plumber’s profession is; the cramped working spaces, wear and tear on their shoulders, knees, backs and neck. They crawl through dirt under some houses that are covered with fleas, snakes, rats, spiders, ticks, scorpions, centipedes, nails and broken glass. They handle used toilet drain pipes that carry many dangerous diseases. It’s a difficult job. This is an honorable profession, unlike the one Obama occupies his time with.
Obama states that he’ll steal from Joe (and others like him) if he grosses more than $250.000 a year. Obviously Obama has never worked with his hands for a living, and much less as a plumber.
I’m for Freedom
- Freedom to worship the one true God,
- Freedom to keep and bear arms,
- Freedom to keep the fruit of my labor,
- Freedom from oppression,
- Freedom to come and go as I please,
- Freedom to live my life in Peace-Profit and Tranquility,
- Freedom to drive my truck at any time,
- Freedom to watch my Grand daughter (God Bless Her) grow up,
- Freedom to ride my Mountain Bike,
- Freedom from the Central Governments over-reaching into our lives where our Constitution doesn’t give it the authority to go.
That’s why I’m voting for McCain and Palin.
Thank You, Joe the Plumber.

As a child I was schooled in civics, (grade school), actual American History through High School and self taught on our sacred founding documents, which mean so much to me. I remember Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Presidency to George W. Bush. My favorites, I have two: Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan. Both were honorable men and they knew the Constitution. I felt safe with Eisenhower, and served under Reagan while in the Military. Both were champions of freedom and responsibility. Both were true Americans. Fast forward to today. I’ll have to say that I don’t see anything in any of our choices for President that closely resembles the Character of Ronald Reagan, much less our Founding Fathers. Sen. McCain by far comes closer to our founders than Obama.
George Washington, our first President, warned us of foreign entanglements, which includes treaties. Thomas Jefferson said that if a Nation expects to be Free, but the people are ignorant, Freedom will not last. An informed citizenry strikes fear in the dark heart of any lying dictator.
John Adams stated that we, parents, should educate our children in the principles of Freedom. This very important responsibility should never be handed over to schools, not knowing what lies in the hearts of men.
Samuel Adams warned that the public should not expect to be overly curious of the character of people who hold office. scrutinize their judgments. Protect your freedoms, they are precious as diamonds.
Daniel Webster truthfully said that God grants liberty to people who love it and are ready to guard and defend it. So lets defend liberty here in America. We must shake off internationalism, communism, Liberalism and all other ism’s that deni freedom. But remember God our Creator is the sole benefactor of freedom. Pray to him for forgiveness and freedom from Liberalism.
