Tyranny in America

In 1967 I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Attorney General Holder and his boss took the same oath. I meant what I said. Holder has decided which laws to enforce and which to ignore.

Imagine if the ranking lawman in your county decided not to enforce some laws. Suppose the Sheriff or District Attorney decided that rape is just "boys being boys" and arrested no one and prosecuted no one. We would fire them. We are not under Sharia law where a girl who is gang-raped is stoned to death for fornication!

Holder and Obama have done the same with DOMA and immigration laws. Representative Bachman has finally submitted articles of impeachment against Obama. There have been many hearings in Congress about "fast and furious" but no articles of impeachment against Holder.

I understand that neither would be removed from office. Only two presidents have been impeached, and neither was removed from office. Nixon resigned and was pardoned by Ford. The speeches in the House of Representatives are still recorded in the Federal Register for the public to read.

Offenses of government officials against the people should not be ignored. That invites tyranny. In 1986 President Reagan agreed to amnesty for 2.5 million illegal aliens in exchange for a tough immigration law. The law was never well enforced. The result is tens of millions of illegal aliens in our country today. The government has blurred the distinction between those illegal aliens and those who took the legal steps to become citizens and swore allegiance to the United States. The difference is like that between a burglar and an invited house guest!

The Constitution is the Law of our land. If laws are passed by the Congress and President and not enforced, then we are no longer a law-abiding nation. Tyranny will be the result if we who defend the Constitution keep silent.

Skunk Replaces Eagle as Symbol of President

The skunk has replaced the Eagle as the new symbol of the American Presidency. It is half Black, half white, and everything it does stinks.

It is said: If you give a man a fish you will feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime!

New Obama Proverb: If you give a man hope of getting a job, he will vote Democrat for a year! If you give a man a welfare check, a free cell phone, free Internet, food stamps, section 8 housing, ninety-nine weeks of unemployment then Social Security disability for life, free health care and free Medicine... He will vote Democrat the rest of his life and several more times... After he's dead

Government Shutdown "crisis"

The United States is bankrupt. Life goes on as “normal” because there is great flexibility in such a huge economy. There is currently a “budget crisis” and a looming “debt-limit crisis.” These are a problem because Congress and the President planned it. The President sent his budget proposal to Congress in the spring. It was late, but since an actual budget – with 13 separate appropriations bills – has not been signed into law for 4 years - the President's tardiness is moot.

Both parties blame each other for the shutdown. The fact is that they have had over 5 months to debate the budget. The House of Representatives has produced numerous budget bills only to see them tabled by the Democrat-controlled Senate. Since the last budget passed was the Pelosi-Reid-Obama budget, the Democrats are happy to “continue it” with a constant stream of CRs.

The real debate is over the type of government we actually have. The Democrats say that America is a democracy, and must operate by “majority rule.” The Constitution is a “dated” document and is irrelevant now. The Conservatives say that America is a constitutional republic with “limited government.” A century ago, Progressives were successful in reducing the power of the states with the 17th Amendment. Senators had been elected by state legislatures. Now both Representatives and Senators are “popularly elected.” Only their terms of office are different. The problem with democracies is they fail when the people realize that they can write checks to themselves.

Democrats make a heartwarming appeal for the “little guy.” In the 1930s it was electricity and secure retirements for all. From the 1960s to present it was an end to poverty, jobs and promotions through race preference for minorities and medical care for all. For several decades it has been telephones for all. The Progressive “solution” is always according to Karl Marx's philosophy of from those who have; to those who “need.” Marxism fails when you run out of other peoples' money (Thatcher). Progressives believe that individual responsibility and free-markets are wrong. A marriage with husband and wife is wrong because “it takes a village to raise a child.” There is power in the union of workers and in the “collective.”

We have clear examples of implementations of fascism, communism and socialism which failed. Our constitutional republic with a free-market economy has succeeded well. Our forefathers believed in the inherent sinfulness of man/woman, and the need for checks and balances. That rule of law is rarely practiced today.
