Join Or Die Flag

Courtesy of the Ben Franklin and the Albany Congress.

In 1754, Britain and France were struggling for control over portions of North America. In the face of a looming war (French and Indian War) that would play out, in part, on American soil, Franklin proposed a plan that would unite the colonial governments into a single federal council.

In his Albany Plan, Franklin held that the colonies, by acting with one united voice, could more effectively fend off threatened attacks by the French and their Native American allies.

Both the colonists and the British Crown rejected Franklin’s plan because it encroached on their respective powers, but the Albany Plan remains important as one of the first documented efforts to unite the colonies. Notice the abbreviations for the colonies on the disjointed Rattlesnake. The Rattlesnake goes on through American history in many other publications, editorials and flags such as the Gadsden Flag.

Healthcare Debacle

Nancy Pelosi has a party to celebrate the achievements of Congress under her watch. Barack Obama says that he had to make hard decisions for the American People.

Well, the People have spoken and want Obamacare to go away. And go away quick before the 2011 mandates become effective. This is how the rest of the country see's Obamacare.

One Week After

Today is Tuesday, November 9th, 2010,..one week after mid term elections of a mega historical perspective.

I read where the AARP has lost 60,000+ members who were upset with the organization’s support and lobbying in support of Obamacare. That’s one way to vote,…..with your money. Me? I’ll just continue to send back membership application envelopes with local used car ads.

I heard where Nancy Pelosi sponsored a party to celebrate the 111th Congress’s accomplishments. This is You Gotta Be Kidding Me moment! What the hell was she celebrating? Over Whelming Debt piled upon the American People? Footprints on the Constitution? A Culture of corruption? The biggest Federal Government and Deficit ever?

I also heard where Nancy the butt monkey was running to be the Dem’s minority leader in the 112th Congress. Seems fitting to me. The person most responsible for the Democrats becoming a minority in Congress – becoming their leader. Yep, seems fitting to me.

Let’s re-cap her credentials: Upon her watch the Dems in Congress lost, what..63 seats? Historical numbers! Something like 23 State Legislatures changed from Dem majority to Republican majority, with a net loss of around 680 seats. More historical numbers!! The Dallas Cowboys coach was fired with a losing record – don’t see what Nancy Pelosi should be any different.
