“the Baritone”?
baritone what? only in singing is the label for frequency range abridged to (eg) “baritone”. but singers don’t say, “[i|he|she|they] play the baritone”.

“Essentially, don’t say anything you wouldn’t say to your mother at the dinner table.”
yeah, i always rant about “soshilizm” at the dinner table.

the learning curve is a steep slippery slope. Be founded on the principles this country was founded for Aaron. Religion, losing this one fast. personal protection,, this one even faster.. Property ownership,,,lost this one along time ago. (parking fines can take your house away) “the problem with socialism is i eventually run out of other peoples money”

Hey Aaron Schock! If you and your fellow replublicans aren’t laying down your lives (read political careers) on the ‘alter of freedom’ to save this great nation from the tyranny that is surely headed our way, then YOU ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH!

I am happy he played the Baritone as musical talent develops more parts of the brain. That in itself proves he has one, giving us all hope that at least one member of Congress has used his at some point in their life.

I pray for his sanity.

So nice to see yet another young and passionate conservative thinker–and in Congress, nonetheless! Keep it up. Thanks for sharing the Caterpillar story.

Congressman Schock, I am so glad to see such a young man with so much fortitude to stand up for your conservative beliefs. It seems like there are so many jaded, greedy people in the government that I have just about given up hope of our proud nation being recognizable as the one my father, and many relatives fought in so many wars to keep the way it used to be. At the rate of all the “hope and change” going on, we will soon become the communist nation that we went to war to stop in other countries, and we will do so by our politicians converting it. They seem to totally ignore the people telling them we don’t want all the bailouts and the cap&trade bill along with so much more that is in the bills coming out. We were promised 5 days to look at any bill before it was signed into law. So much for “transparancy and honesty” I hope you stick to your guns. Good Luck

As I’ve said before…..in a democracy they must beat you down to the ground first and then they can say we will help you back up. This is exactly what is happening now.

I wrote a letter to our Northern Texas Senators and congress people in 2007 asking them why the FDIC isn’t questioning BofA, Wamu, and some other banks who were dishing out bank cards, loans and credit cards to ILLIGALS. I went on the FDIC web site and not to my surprise they stated that they only check on the banks every 2 years if they feel they have to because they are OVER PAID AND UNDERSTAFFED (I just added that). They were supposed to have taped and written documents on every banks monthly board meeting…they didn’t. They where supposed to thoroughly check their books every month or so…they didn’t. When I read that they would only investigate a bank if they felt the need to is beyond my comprehension. It again tells me that our federal government is a joke. And, yes every state should seriously consider Sovereignty and then secession.

For me the FDIC stands for Flagrant-Deceptive-Idiotic-Council.

Why do we have a failing economy? Because we have a failing federal government that makes no effort to ensure all of it’s department wings (FDIC, FDA, USAD, IRS(private company), INS, ICE, HS, ETC are all working and functioning according to our Constitution and Laws. And is made accountable for all they do.

Can anyone wonder or perhaps think that maybe this country is to big to be run and governed by a few rich elite who don’t give a darn about this country.

They are doing exactly what FDR did. It didn’t work then and it won’t work now. All these stimulus’s are doing is paying back the rich elite and paying salaries for all the dumb federal employees who really don’t know much except how to shuffle the paper work from one office to another. And there in lies the problem to much needless paper work and no accountability by any of them. Do you remember the congress saying they read the entire 600 page stimulus back in Feb. 2009…..no, no.
WAKE UP!!!!! oH!

Aaron,

I’m proud to have another relative serving our great country. (Your father, Richard, and I are second cousins; please pass my warm regards to him.) Always stick to our tried and true principles — fiscally conservative, a strong national defense and upholding the individual’s freedom to choose — and you’ll serve ALL Americans well.

I and many other old, Cold War warriors like me are rooting for you and will always have your back. Good luck and God bless you.
