At our last "Seeds of Freedom" meeting, Sunday, 18 April, at Nero's in Green Hills,(if you are reading this blog,and are a fiscally conservative legal American, you are welcome at our meetings)it was suggested that highlights of the meeting be shared on this site. This is the first sharing post.Facts in the highlights are accurate,snide,cynical,sarcastic comments, adverbs, and adjectives are mine..poetic license of sorts.
We were very pleased to hear from several conservative candidates for office, to be described in a moment.First, let me comment on how critical it is at this moment in time, to elect ONLY fiscal conservatives.
The year 2010 is a census year. Tennessee is going to be able to adjust and re-apportion it's representative districting. All of the current districting was done after reconstruction, and under total Democratic(liberal) control...can you spell Gerrymander. If the good guys(conservatives) win, and control the congress AND the State House, the districting can be much more fairly drawn.
Please consider supporting the following in the primary(my personal choices, blog back and argue if you disagree.)Remember, all politics is LOCAL!
Dr. Steve Dickerson: Young, cerebral, articulate. Great thinker on many levels, and a trustworthy fiscal conservative. running against the ancient state senator Doug Henry. Henry is a nice Democrat that can be expected to come down on the liberal side of tax, be soft on illegal immigration, and 2nd amendment issues. We need a convervative in this seat, and Henry may be beatable this year. Go Steve..he needs money!
Councilman Eric Crafton: Worked to get a fair English only bill passed in Metro. It was vetoed by a Democrat Mayor. Impressively educated,(Masters degrss from Vanderbilt) dedicated to bringing excellence to a department woefully run by Vic(bathrobe)Lineweaver. Crafton is going to go far, and is only now starting! We were all impressed with Eric. He needs money. I predict Eric will be our Mayor at some time in the future.
Charles Williamson, Entrepeneur and buffalo farmer: This splendid example of the way America should work cashed in his assets and folowed his dream...a successful buffalo farmer...damn, I am impressed! Charles is a mountain of a guy, running against a certain weevil, Mike Turner, for the 51st State House seat. Mike, you may recall is the weevil who, with Sen Cohen of Memphis, was loudly proclaiming that if you opposed the disgusting Obamacare bill, you are a racist. Also, he's a friend of a state tax, and favoring drivers licenses for illegals. We have got to get this weevil out of office! If you help ANYBODY, help Charles Williamson, he needs the help, as Turner has Union and Demo.Party funds.
Lonnie Spivac: A solid "tea party" conservative. On Lonnie's promo-card, just above the classic GOP elephant is the word "NEW", and that says a lot! Lonnie is running against the dastardly imitation "blue-dog" Democrat Jim Cooper for Representative in the Nashville(7th)district. I have seen Lonnie at every conservative gathering I've been to.Lonnie is the real deal in my humble opinion. He definately needs funds to fight. Cooper's district is one of those Gerrymandered districts that favors the liberal candidate.
Chuck Self is going to bring a phone-call list to our meeting so we can get on the phone and help our candidates.
Bill Haslam has agreed to speak to our group, time TBA.
Remember the words of Edmund Burke, ca.1776 "All that is needed for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing".
Next meeting, Nero's, Green Hills, May 23rd, 5:00PM

Who We Are and What We Stand For
“Seeds of Freedom” Club, Group, Team
The Seeds of Freedom was formed in the spring of 2009 by a small group of Patriots, weary of simply moaning about the Progressive(socialist, statist, collectivist) direction that the Obama team was steering the country in. “Seeds” is comprised of members who are fiercely dedicated to fiscal conservatism, constitutional integrity, and Judeo- Christian morals. We are, as a group, non-partisan, and regret that recent socialist-statist victories by the Democrats were enabled by weak GOP positions on fiscal conservatism in the GOP’s last administration, and a very weak GOP conservative candidate for president. We are in alignment with the principles of the “tea-party” movement back to smaller, less intrusive government, state’s rights, personal responsibility, and a return to Constitutional values.
We feel the media has such overwhelming liberal bias that Americans are not able to see negative results of statism, nor to get enough information to make fair decisions regarding unrealistic and irresponsible liberal economics, policies, and the welfare state. It is this bias that allows liberal politicians to slither past election challenges, and surprisingly be re-elected in truly conservative areas. This is why we need(thousands of) groups like “Seeds of Freedom”.
We are not a “PAC”, and we have no Dues to participate. We have no interest in a “Third Party”, and are not Libertarians. We are listed as an organization, and have no Tax consequences. Our meetings are optional and there is no admission fee, no financial requests. We wish to spread the light of conservatism one-on-one, and reveal the liberal-progressive-statist hipocracies one fact at a time. Our meetings are a friendly mix of the above. Political candidates speak to us, and we will ultimately put our time and perhaps some of our fortune behind them. We plan to mount a phone campaign for the candidates we feel will support a fresh, honest conservatism. Each member will be asked to make a few calls in favor of the NEW conservative candidates.
Liberals spreading race-baiting racism, class warfare, income re-distribution, tax and spend, and 1st and 2nd Amendment destruction MUST BE FIRED to save the Republic. The good people of Cuba and Venezuela know we do not want what Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Waxman, Sanders, Soros and Kucinich have in mind for us.
If you wish to join us in the good fight, send me an e-mail. I will reply and invite you to a meeting(Sunday afternoon, monthly), and place you on the rolls for e-mail announcements, if you wish.

Tea Party Express
Nashville became a stopping point for the Tea Party Express. The best way I can describe the Tea Party Express is this: A group of like minded fiscally conservative people jump on a bus in Harry Reid's home town and create conservative rally's at stopping points on their journey across the country.
There were some good speakers. There were hokey rally songs. In all, the people in the group brought a solid message to the 300 to 400 people at the rally. The rally was in the parking lot of Scores Sports Bar. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. There were bumper stickers and t-shirts sold. It looked like there were people from every walk of life there. The overall message was about being concerned with the way our government is dragging the country towards socialism.
One thing I did not see is any hate speech or racial slurs. The people at this meeting were concerned with politics and freedom. I expect that this will be my first of many rallies. We will keep you posted.

Obama's Make-Believe Life
By Alan Caruba
I have this theory about Barack Obama. I think he’s led a kind of make-believe life in which money was provided and doors were opened because at some point early on somebody or some group took a look at this tall, good looking, half-white, half-black, young man with an exotic African/Muslim name and concluded he could be guided toward a life in politics where his facile speaking skills could even put him in the White House.
In a very real way, he has been a young man in a very big hurry. Who else do you know has written two memoirs before the age of 45? “Dreams of My Father” was published in 1995 when he was only 34 years old. The “Audacity of Hope” followed in 2006. If, indeed, he did write them himself. There are some who think that his mentor and friend, Bill Ayers, a man who calls himself a “communist with a small ‘c’” was the real author.
His political skills consisted of rarely voting on anything that might be deemed controversial. He went from a legislator in the Illinois legislature to the Senator from that state because he had the good fortune of having Mayor Daley’s formidable political machine at his disposal.
He was in the U.S. Senate so briefly that his bid for the presidency was either an act of astonishing self-confidence or part of some greater game plan that had been determined before he first stepped foot in the Capital. How, many must wonder, was he selected to be a 2004 keynote speaker at the Democrat convention that nominated John Kerry when virtually no one had ever even heard of him before?
He outmaneuvered Hillary Clinton in primaries. He took Iowa by storm. A charming young man, an anomaly in the state with a very small black population, he oozed “cool” in a place where agriculture was the antithesis of cool. He dazzled the locals. And he had an army of volunteers drawn to a charisma that hid any real substance.
And then he had the great good fortune of having the Republicans select one of the most inept candidates for the presidency since Bob Dole. And then John McCain did something crazy. He picked Sarah Palin, an unknown female governor from the very distant state of Alaska. It was a ticket that was reminiscent of 1984’s Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro and they went down to defeat.
The mainstream political media fell in love with him. It was a schoolgirl crush with febrile commentators like Chris Mathews swooning then and now over the man. The venom directed against McCain and, in particular, Palin, was extraordinary.
Now, nearly a full year into his first term, all of those gilded years leading up to the White House have left him unprepared to be President. Left to his own instincts, he has a talent for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. It swiftly became a joke that he could not deliver even the briefest of statements without the ever-present Tele-Prompters.
Far worse, however, is his capacity to want to “wish away” some terrible realities, not the least of which is the Islamist intention to destroy America and enslave the West. Any student of history knows how swiftly Islam initially spread. It knocked on the doors of Europe, having gained a foothold in Spain.
The great crowds that greeted him at home or on his campaign “world tour” were no substitute for having even the slightest grasp of history and the reality of a world filled with really bad people with really bad intentions.
Oddly and perhaps even inevitably, his political experience, a cakewalk, has positioned him to destroy the Democrat Party’s hold on power in Congress because in the end it was never about the Party. It was always about his communist ideology, learned at an early age from family, mentors, college professors, and extreme leftist friends and colleagues.
Obama is a man who could deliver a snap judgment about a Boston police officer who arrested an “obstreperous” Harvard professor-friend, but would warn Americans against “jumping to conclusions” about a mass murderer at Fort Hood who shouted “Allahu Akbar.” The absurdity of that was lost on no one. He has since compounded this by calling the Christmas bomber “an isolated extremist” only to have to admit a day or two later that he was part of an al Qaeda plot.
He is a man who could strive to close down our detention facility at Guantanamo even though those released were known to have returned to the battlefield against America. He could even instruct his Attorney General to afford the perpetrator of 9/11 a civil trial when no one else would ever even consider such an obscenity. And he is a man who could wait three days before having anything to say about the perpetrator of yet another terrorist attack on Americans and then have to elaborate on his remarks the following day because his first statement was so lame.
The pattern repeats itself. He either blames any problem on the Bush administration or he naively seeks to wish away the truth.
Knock, knock. Anyone home? Anyone there? Barack Obama exists only as the sock puppet of his handlers, of the people who have maneuvered and manufactured this pathetic individual’s life.
When anyone else would quickly and easily produce a birth certificate, this man has spent over a million dollars to deny access to his. Most other documents, the paper trail we all leave in our wake, have been sequestered from review. He has lived a make-believe life whose true facts remain hidden.
We laugh at the ventriloquist’s dummy, but what do you do when the dummy is President of the United States of America?
