THE SPEECH THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN

On APR. 15, 2010 a Tea Party Patriots rally was held in downtown Chico CA at the Chico City Plaza. I was a late entry to be on stage that day and as fate would have it, got pre-empted by the Butte County District Attorney. Maybe that was a get even moment for him. About fifty years earlier, Mike, another friend Jeff, and I were swimming at Feather Plunge and I hit my head on the side of the pool and we lost about 3 hrs of swimming that day. Obviously, Mike never got over that! As it turns out, I was not afforded the time to speak, even at the very end. I guess the time was up. In any event, I wanted you all to be able to read the rousing speech. Here it is. BC

Good Morning Tea Party Patriots. As was just stated, I am Bob Crosby… Now!…you can just forget the name. I’m not a politician! I’m not running for any office!

I do want to apologize right here. I am a writer….NOT a public speaker

But we….each one of us….YOU and YOU and YOU Right Out THERE…..we need to get out of our comfort zone

TODAY IS THAT TIME!

In an August of 2008 interview, Rick Warren posed the question to candidate Obama. WHAT IS OUR NATIONS GREATEST FAILING? Mr. Obama quoted Jesus.

"Whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me".

In August of 2009, President Obama pulled out the scripture card again during an Internet phone call with a bunch of, so called “religious leaders”. He used the words,

“I am my brothers keeper”

That is a core ethical and moral obligation....AND......I ALSO..believe that to be true.

BUT!...The context was not for a personal commitment but to muster support for a one payer universal health care system

Politicians love to invoke the name of GOD and the life of JESUS to bolster support and creation of a greater and more intrusive welfare state.

In the last several election cycles, new technologies and new media have been used very effectively against conservatives.

Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and all sorts of other networking tools.

We must do the same!
