You Are Not Alone...the 9.12 Project

In case you have forgotten, or are too young to remember (like many of the kids I work with), America was dealt a deadly, sickening, blow on September 11, 2001. After America, as a nation, dropped to one knee under the pressure of the grief and shock of the attack, America rose.

We, as a nation, as one, stood up, wiped a tear from our cheek, dusted ourselves off, and grabbed a shovel. We dug out the bodies of the murdered masses. We dug graves for the lost. We mourned through resolve.

We, for one shining moment, became "one nation under God." We became the UNITED States of America.

In the months following the tragedy, many of our bravest and brightest put down the shovel and grabbed a gun. They went to war to keep this kind of act from recurring on our soil ever again.

As the war was taken abroad, and the terrorists struck out time after time here in America, the complacency and politcal vitriol grew back, and we once again became divided.

Many of us have forgotten what it means to be the UNITED States. We let the liars, cheats, and outright scum in Washington, DC, keep us divided. We have politicians race-baiting us all the time. There is a constant class-warfare being thrust upon us. All the while, the people WE hire to run the government are laughing all the way to the bank with kickbacks and lobbyist dollars.

We...yes, WE, the everyday, average citizenry of America own and run this country. Not Congress. Not the White House. Not the Senate or House of Representatives. We, the American public, own and run this country.

Sadly, we have let our ownership and power be usurped by divisionist politicians and power-hungry manipulators.

More importantly, we have let their words and misdeeds and mismanagement of our tax dollars let us become divided...divided more deeply than we have been since the Civil War.

However, watching Fox News Channel, I saw a light at the end of the tunnel.

The 9.12 Project.

Started and championed by commentator Glenn Beck, this movement is designed to inspire Americans to once again Unite, and recreate the love, passion, and support of our nation that we held so dearly on 9/12/01.

The movement is based on 9 Principles and 12 Values that define what it means to be a true, great American.

I encourage you to visit the website, The912Project.com , read the 9 Principles and 12 Values, and think for yourself. What can I do differently to encourage this country to become the UNITED States of America?

What can you do to bring America together?

America is on a rough path right now. It is up to us to right the ship.

Are you on board? Will you join the movement? Will you join the 9.12 Project?

If you do feel that America is a good, not perfect, but good, country, this is your website. This is the time.

You are not alone.

About Me...And This Blog Site...

My name is David A. Ebert, the oldest of two siblings produced by my parents, Leah and David G. Ebert. We are all Republicans, but I take it a toke or two...well, closer to 10 tokes...further than my parents,

I am very much a Right Wing Conservative. I am a Reagan Conservative. I believe Americans, in general, are smarter than elected officials in Washington, DC. We should be more in charge than the Government.

We, as individuals and families, should have more responsibility over our own, hard-earned money and not send more and more and more taxes to the out-of-touch politicians. I believe the government is there to serve us, and not us to serve them.

I believe in America's greatness and that, overall, we are the most generous, forgiving, intelligent, and genuinely decent country in the world. I also believe that we are the most powerful nation in the history of the world, but do not use that power to hold over the collective heads of other nations.

I believe that low taxes, intelligent spending of those tax revenues, strong initiatives on defense and education, and small government influence on the day-to-day lives of Americans are some of the most important ideals related to how the US should be operated.I believe in the freedoms granted by the US Constitution. I believe that judges should uphold and interpret the laws as written in the US Constitution, and not refer to any foreign legislation to make their historic decisions.

I believe the First Amendment, as well as the entire Bill of Rights, are the most important laws this world has ever seen.

I believe abortion is WRONG. I believe that homosexuality is WRONG. I believe that allowing anyone to publicly debate the possibility of lowering the age of consent, especially for young boys to consent to older men, is a tragedy of morality. I believe that organizations like NAMBLA should be publicly shunned and not given a platform to spew their harmful and dangerous rhetoric.

I believe there is a sad lacking in the ability of our nation to appreciate and accept self responsibility. We, as a nation, blame daddy, racism, sexism, classism, mommy, the mean teacher, the mean little league coach, the loud mouthed uncle, the financial status of the neighborhood in which we grew up in, and a million and one other reasons why we do not succeed. How often do we, as a nation, take the blame for our own mistakes? How often do you hear someone accept responsibility for their own mistakes? How often?

I am conservative. I am worried about the future of the country and the planet, especially if O-BOMB-A or Billary Clinton make it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I will start posting my fears, my hopes, my ideas as they all relate to news and politics. I hope to open some eyes and change some opinions with my writings. Most of all, I hope you will read my words and be inspired to find the truth...and not rely on Chris Matthews or Keith Olberman or Katie Couric or Matt Lauer for your opinions. I hope you will break the mold and do something unreal...unexpected...do something that O-BOMB-A and Billary are afraid of you doing...

THINK FOR YOURSELF.
