Note

My Maternal Grandfather, Harry William Linderman, was the 1954 Harris County Republican Chairman. All of my family are Republican too. So, of course I had to be different, and have VOTED Democrat before.--:) No, I did NOT vote for Obamanation!

But now, my eyes are open to the Socialistic agendas of the Democrats, so I will be voting Republican. I will vote for anyone but Obama and Socialism!

My IDEAL is for Balance, but that just isn't REALITY. I, too am the "middle of the road", or was! I do empathize with the sick and elderly. But now God has opened my eyes to the facts---that the Socialists want the legal, hard-working tax-paying citizens to support everyone else.

This "sick-ass" administration that we have right now, has PUSHED me even closer to my roots, and toward the Republican party! I believe that we all should be responsible for our own families like it says in the Bible, instead of expecting government to BAIL us out or ENABLE us. The government Bail-outs--Piss me off! That is just COMMUNISM!

I will make DAMN sure that I vote this time! I will vote for a Christian, Conservative, Capitalist, and Constitutionalist. I don't give a damn about their race. I have friends of all races. I don't like Obama, because he is a DISGRACE and he has weakened our beautiful America, NOT because he is half black and half white.

I was the Rebel, and Hippie, Flower child too! But I always worked for a living--even cleaning houses, when I was laid off. I did whatever job that I had to to SURVIVE. My Daddy said that if you don't Work, then you don't Eat! I absolutely agree. I believe in taking care of our elderly and sick, but not the girls that have several babies, while the IRRESPONSIBLE, lazy-ass daddies play and don't work or pay taxes.

Regarding the ILLEGAL issue--No money for non-tax-paying, illegal Americans! People want to come to America because it is the land of milk and honey. I don't blame them, but just come LEGALLY and pay TAXES, and STOP expecting government to take care of your ass. Grow up! BE RESPONSIBLE! If they want to be AMERICANS, then you adopt America's ways, and learn English! Don't EXPECT America to continue to allow you to "suck them dry"! Stop "raping" America's economy, and be a GIVER instead of a TAKER!

Don't allow our Veterans, that have fought and died to keep America free and safe, to have died in vain! The Lindermans helped to build America. They lived in Germantown Township, Pennsylvania in 1740. They came legally, paid their dues, paid their taxes, and fought and died for this country. Everyone wants to immigrate to America, because we are the best there is. English want to come to America, because they too hate Socialism. Socialized medicine does NOT work! Socialism makes people lazy, and dependent on others to TAKE care of them--but what they don't realize is that they are being LED and BRAINWASHED.

There are going to be some BIG changes in November! I, too wanted a "change", but NOT for Socialism/Communism/Muslim/Islamic way. Keep America Free and Vote them out! If you don't vote, then you have NO right to bitch!

GOD, HELP US TO FIGHT THE EVIL CORRODING FIBER WITHIN OUR COUNTRY. Just to add the rest of the story. In November 2010, we voted 39 Republicans into political offices!! Woohoo!!




I took my Mother, who is Third Generation Republican, and aged 82, and the daughter of Harry William Linderman, 1954-56 Harris County Republican Party Chairman, in Houston, Texas, and we voted straight Republican ticket. He was one of the delegates to the Republican party Convention in 1956, along with Thad Hutcheson in San Fransisco, California.

I pray to God that We the People will all get out and vote the Socialists/Communists out of office every election. We MUST fight to save our nation!
