SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Daily News "Thanks from the Mulcahys"

Lee Mulcahy, Aspen:
"Editor:

A tip of the hat to the two Basalt police officers that helped my parents in downtown Basalt and a big thanks to Paradise Bakery for their donations to our community. The Mulcahy family, in partnership with the interfaith communities in both Aspen and Texas, invites anyone to travel with us to Kenya and volunteer building homes and a water well starting April 27 at http://www.africawaterwells.org/...."

Hey, Lee. What happened to your folks in Basalt?

Nothing---Dad lost his glasses and cell phone. Thanks jbend. The media tells us that #ows and the tea party are not the same thing? Both are little people fighting the crony capitalism of the elites [google Bill Moyers]. The tea party is right: the government has gotten too big & the occupiers speak to the system being rigged and corruption on Wall Street. Little people fighting back: it happens every 50 years.

People say I'm crazy. OK. Even my friends said it's crazy to take on the limousine liberals who own our local bully, the 800 pound gorilla. LOL: I have a backbone. I'm an artist who believes in liberty whose Texas roots stretch back to the founding of the Republic and Baylor University.

God has blessed both my Pop and me. We are Eagle Scouts, went to SMU & saw the world. My dad, the personification of the American dream, grew up on a farm without electricity and running water in Seguin, Texas, was an engineer in Los Alamos, helped design the Apollo space suit, worked on the Space Shuttle and believes the American dream is under attack by the limousine liberals. I agree. He believes in loving your neighbors: Bud Mulcahy led 7 of us volunteers to Kenya to bring clean water to a village. Circle of life.

It's a question of fairness and being left to live our lives in how we make those lives be. I work hard and should be able to keep what I make. I believe in statehood and that states should have all controls with the feds having very limited abilities to interfere.There's a balance here and that balance has been raped for decades. Somehow as a nation we've forgotten the basics and we need to get back to them. Good to know it wasn't anything serious. btw, you're not crazy. Might need a lawyer's advise for the technical stuff but you're not crazy. What's wrong in this valley is real corruption that isn't being stopped. Power out of control and doing anything it wants.
