Hey folks new guy on the Plaza and not sure how this site works so I thought I would put one out there and see what happens.

My rant is simple. No matter what your status is Rep. or Dem, I think Nancy disrespected the office of the presidency with the tearing up of the speech right there for all to see on TV.

After many years providing service to our government I may not have agreed with our leaders at those times. But I respected that he was our leader. It is her work place and if you and I disrespected our boss would we have a job tomorrow?

Doesn't Nancy work for us? Nancy P You are Fired!!!!!

Welcome Plumbob. We are neighbors. The sad reality is that, “We the people”, have ceded our Government to professional politicians who will do anything to stay at their feed trough. We were tired from working, just came home & turned on the TV heard what the media wanted us to hear, never held Representatives’ & Senators’ feet to the fire.

My wife & I had bought our first new TV in 15 years a few months before Obama started running for President. When he gave his ObamaCare speech, both of us having debated government healthcare in college, knew his $2,500.00 savings was b.s. as well as keep your doctor, keep your plan. When he was inaugurated, we put the TV back in the box it came in & put it in the attic above my shop. I just took it to recycling last Spring still in pristine box.

We started walking our patch for an hour a day unless it was raining, w/ our dogs, paying attention to small flowers we had ignored before & which insects preferred them, listening to birds, & picking up litter on the side of our patch that is along a paved road. If it was raining, we would read for an extra hour. We still have no TV, not even a radio anymore.

We subscribe to The Congressional Record, research things we are interested in & stay in contact w/ local, state, & federal elected officials. We campaign for those we believe will abide by their platform, do our best to get them defeated if they don’t, & tell them up front that will be the way it goes. If one tells us he/see had to go along to get along, they are toast.

We are rednecks, deplorables, inbreeds, whatever. We both worked our ways through college, had no loans, were the first in our families to get college educations. We had no time in college to demonstrate, boycott classes, even if we had agreed w/ anything going on. We were raised to respect all people, nature, the flag, & God. We were taught manners, to say nothing about anyone if you could not say something good.

Yes we are 3 G people, “God, guns, grits”. We will share our faith if you ask us to, our food if you are hungry. In our case guns is a synonym for our protection devices. Come try to steal our Bibles, grits or protection devices by legislation, political whim, you have a problem on your hands.

You are going to experience an education in the highs & lows of humanity on this site. Buckle up.
