Ray Stevens Tea Party Anthem: ‘We the People Have Awakened’
January 7, 2010
(ChattahBox)—Country singer Ray Stevens, known for his 70s era song,“The Streak” is a teapartier who wants the “freedom” for himself and the rest of America to continue to suffer from untreated medical conditions due to lack of affordable health insurance. Stevens and other teapartiers want the “freedom” to go bankrupt from the inability to pay catastrophic medical bills. And like other tea party members, Stevens says he has suddenly “awakened” to pork-barrel spending and runaway government. But for some reason, Stevens and the other teapartiers were asleep during the last eight years of the Bush administration, when Bush ran up a huge deficit, abused the rule of law and our constitution and lied to the American public in order to invade Iraq.
Like other anti-Obama teapartiers who mumble incoherently about believing in the constitution, while they remained silent when Bush/Cheney trampled upon it and spit on it, Stevens says he believes in freedom and the constitution:
“…I believe in freedom, and I believe in the Constitution and I believe in the things that made America great.”
Well the “awake” Stevens decided to produce an anti-health care reform song, called “We the People,” that apparently is becoming a tea party anthem, according to CNSNews.
Stevens believes that President Obama wants to control us with health care reform and climate change legislation:
“Anybody with half a brain can figure out this is about control. So is cap-and-trade or this so-called ‘green’ crap that they’re talking about,” he told CNSNews.com. “It’s not about climate change. It’s not about health-care. It’s about control. They want control, and I don’t want to give it to them.”
Stevens figures we are doing just fine with nearly 50,000 people dying every year from lack of health insurance:
“To me, it’s pretty obvious that the government is doing a bunch of crap that we don’t need and we don’t want, and they don’t care what we want – they’re going to do it anyway. I think I’ve heard it called ‘progressive.’ I don’t know what’s progressive about it – it seems like to me it’s stupid,” said Stevens.
In Stevens’ song he sings about voting politicians out of office who vote for “ObamaCare,” as he changes from a revolutionary patriot, a construction worker and a rural backwoodsman:
“You vote Obamacare, we’re going to vote you out of there. We the People have awakened to your tricks. You vote to let this pass, you’re going to be out on your (sound of foghorn).”

He said what allot of our here feel about this disaster. Go Boy!
We can turn it around, but it will be hard to do so. A new book is due out on Amazon.com that tells how we became the most prosperous nation in the world. It is called SAVE PEBBLE DROPPERS & PROSPERITY. You’ll find it on claysamerica.com. The economy will never recover as long as government strangles small business and start-ups in gear and in dreams. The jobs are found in the small, private sector created by pebble droppers, entrepreneurs with vision and a belief government will not interfere. Obama’s mercantilism is a virus. Claysamerica.com

I wish I knew someone with the ability to file lawsuits on each and every Democrat in the House and Senate suing them for commiting acts of treason against our Country, All of our countries citizens, and Our Constitution. These people ought to be imprisoned, they ought to lose all their pensions and made to repay every penny back to the taxpayers that they made while commiting these acts of treason. They are literally stealing our country, all our rights, and our freedom away from us. They are imprisoning all of us and are going to end up causing a coo in this country resulting in alot of needless suffering and death. Surely there has to be a way to stop them and cease them before it happens.
Obama is one big A– mistake America. If Obama was a white man he would have lost the election. He had no policy or experience in anything remotely linked to being a leader. Exactly what did he do as a community organizer? As a senator he voted for no bills, he proposed no bills, he stood for nothing. People called those of us who opposed him racist. What is racist about questioning a man running for office about his policies? what is racist about checking into the people he associates with? This is done to every other politician, so why not Obama? He promised that his administration would be transparent but he lied. What is transparent about closed door meetings? why are Republican leaders shut out of these meetings? I am an independant. I vote for the best person for the job not for a party. I hope that all of America wakes up and votes out these Democrats who have shown no moral courage and voted with Obama for the perks or because the likes of Nancy Pelocie ordered them to do so.

Fill up your cluebag. America isn’t going socialist without a fight. And you are the grease for the tracks.
great song. frightening sentiments. detestable that it is so possible.
Even worse, I’m reluctant to put my thought in writing.

I got to see Ray in concert last night! At 71 this man owned the house. It is an inspiration to see a person of high integrity doing what is natural supporting a nation he loves.
