Two men arrested in the Netherlands over concerns they were conducting a test run for a terrorist attack on an airline have been freed without charges. Why were they allowed to leave Chicago? How safe are we with this airport security? Heads need to roll and someone needs to take responsibility for this terror test run. We got lucky this time, what about next time?

Sorry for such a late post, this past weekend was a very busy one for the campaign. Had a parade in Kouts and two fund raisers on Saturday. Sunday was a full day Family Reunion in the park in Highland. Then the same night I drove to Indianapolis for an Air Force Association briefing on Monday about vital issues for our needs to maintain our Air Force superiority needs.

At all levels, government appears to be out of control, and it’s at the expense of the taxpayers. Look at Illinois’ Governor, Rod Blagojevich. I think he is one of the biggest sleazeballs in recent history, and yet very little stuck to him. Patrick Fitzgerald had him in court and lost. If Blago was trying to get money or a political favor in return for appointing someone to President Obama’s senate seat, it was never proven in court by Fitzgerald. The only thing proven in court is that Rod Blagojevich is not much of a man nor leader.

Pat Fitzgerald blew away six years worth of taxpayers’ money. If he’d waited another week, he would have had a slam dunk case. Instead, he cut the investigation short, right at its climax, and lost the case. All to protect political operatives. Now, he wants to spend another twenty million dollars of taxpayers’ money to retry the case. Why should taxpayers pay for his mistakes in judgment as a prosecutor?

First, let’s establish what is the real crime. The crime is pay to play, or kick-back, or quid pro quo, depending on your preference. And, it doesn’t happen only in Illinois. When are we going to hear something from the Justice Department about Pete Visclosky with his quid pro quo of political votes in return for campaign donations? It’s actually pretty simple. Follow the vote, and then the campaign donations. The real losers in all of this are the taxpayers.

A very busy weekend, Saturday most of the day at a tea party event in Valparaiso “Taking Back America” with Jackie Walorski. Many great people attended the event with a candidate “Meet & Greet”. Also in the evening, went to annual party in south Hammond with many of friends and bikers. Click HERE to view pics from the Valpo event.

Sunday was another long day, starting off in Elkhart, In with tea party leaders putting on an event for Jackie Walorski and Marlin Stutzman in McNaughton Park. Sunday evening was out mingling with friends at St. Mary’s fest in Griffith, IN. Click HERE to view some pics for the Elkhart event.

Insofar as the mosque at Ground Zero goes, I don’t think Americans are even thinking about their Islamic religion. This is a matter of some jerks kicking sand in our face. And, we don’t like it.

Further, I am also a little more than upset with our current Speaker of the House, Pelosi, who is threatening to investigate where those who oppose the mosque are getting their money. Unlike Speaker Pelosi, we work for it, and in case she has forgotten, we also pay her salary. She works for us.

What do she and her cohorts think they’re going to do? Throw us in a Gulag? I think it’s time to remind her and her buddies, most of whom don’t even recognize God or religion, that they have nothing to say to the American people. We choose to what to say and to whom. We will exercise our God given rights to say whatever we darned well please.
