This is a picture of the new American Patriot.

Cheesy politicians in it for the perks, the money , the kickbacks, riding the Govt. gravy train.

These are the people we have placed our trust in.

What is need is a House and senate cleaning. Send no incumbent back for another free ride.

Some of these thieves without guns have been stealing from us for 30 years.

I wish these Congressmen were only thieves instead of the traitors they are.

The greedy, treasonous US Congress
(of course, immune from THEIR SEC violations AND ObamaCARE)
has a history of stealing, receiving kickbacks,
paying no taxes, making rules for others, getting
off scot-free even when imbibed or having killed others,
and so is beloved by the Americans [/s is this necessary?]

The ruling class needs the NSA to continue because that is how they monitor all outsiders including your average garden variety freedom loving American.

That is going to be my voting strategy for 2014. I will not vote for an incumbent Republican. I do hope my Congressman and Senator are primary challenged, I would hate to have to vote for a Democrat just to remove an entrenched RINO, but in some cases I believe that will be worth it in the long run.

In Dwight Eisenhower’s final speech as President he said to beware of the Military Industrial Complex.

Talk about hitting the nail on the head. He gave us a clear and unambiguous warning.

Is it too late to heed that profound threat?

Are there no good men left? I for one do not accept it.

Though I don’t remember the source, at the time of the Alaska purchase, bribery on Capitol Hill was so extensive, and from so many sources, that typically each congressmen were getting bribes from 3 different sources for that one vote. That is, for all of congress, bribery was at 300%.

Granted, bribery was not looked at as harshly as it is today.

How much more did they receive (in brown paper bags) that wasn't reported?

Yes on this meant “rein in the NSA”. That’s a good vote.

I’ve already contacted my congressman, Joe Heck (Nevada), and let him know he couldn’t pay me a million dollars to ever vote foe him again after his NSA vote to keep letting them spy on all our citizens.
