Our Lord and God Obama; Just Another Socialist

During his NAACP speech earlier this month, Sen. Obama repeated the term at least four times. "I've been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served," he said at the group's 99th annual convention in Cincinnati.

For the unwashed, non-participating, Joe six-pack let me explain what the messiah is offering, unadulterated socialism. Economic Justice, are you kidding? So, I make more money than you because I went to college and spent four years busting my ass while you rat holed up in your mommy’s basement drinking beer and inventing bongs, this is unfair? Enter John Stossel; “Give me a break”.

Among other Obama edicts from the mount are;

• "Universal," "guaranteed" health care.

• "Free" college tuition.

• "Universal national service" (a la Havana).

• "Universal 401(k)s" (in which the government would match contributions made by "low- and moderate-income families").

• "Free" job training (even for criminals).

• "Wage insurance" (to supplement dislocated union workers' old income levels).

• "Free" child care and "universal" preschool.

• More subsidized public housing.

• A fatter earned income tax credit for "working poor."

• And even a Global Poverty Act that amounts to a Marshall Plan for the Third World, first and foremost Africa.

His new New Deal also guarantees a "living wage," with a $10 minimum wage indexed to inflation; and "fair trade" and "fair labor practices," with breaks for "patriot employers" who cow-tow to unions, and sticks for "nonpatriot" companies that don't. (Source IBD)

Pretty damn ambitious, even for Obama the messianic. So, let's take these one at a time shall we. Someone show me in our sacred constitution where your right to healthcare, paid for by your neighbors, is enshrined? Didn’t think so.

Free, guaranteed college education? Ditto response, there is no free, colleges will be paid and guess what taxpayers, the government doesn’t have a damn single dime, they produce nothing. What they do have is the ability to throw you in prison if you fail to pony up what they have decided is your fair share of the burden. Therefore, let’s stop this free descriptor right here, right now.

Universal 401K’s? Didn’t Bush try to privatize Social Security and the democratic response was, “it’s not broken”, apparently our Lord God Obama thinks it is. And, look, insomuch as free job training for criminals; they get that in prison, they learn how to be better criminals.

Wage insurance? Isn’t that just another term for unemployment insurance, which, by the way, we already have.

And lets make this perfectly clear, you women out there, married or unmarried, you’re free to pop out as many crumb crunchers as you want, yet, it is your, “and your spouse/partners responsibility to take care of them, incur all of the expense and not come hat in hand to me to support your kids when I did not participate in creating them.

Let’s talk about his intention to increase funding for public housing. My response would be simple and direct. Hell no, poverty should not be comfortable. I’m not talking about those disabled and unable to work. I’m talking about these welfare moms popping out eight kids by eight different men and then asking us to provide them not only nourishment but also an abode. People must be held responsible for their decisions in life and subsidizing stupidity only ensures you’ll have more of it.

Moving on to the expansion of the earned income credit, an oxymoron if I ever heard one. These people haven’t earned a damn thing, they’ve only taken. They now get thousands of dollars back in the form of income tax when they actually paid no tax at all. Let me repeat this, the government has no money, they simply take it from us and give it to these under performers, again, making poverty comfortable instead of encouraging people to better themselves. Again, we are rewarding failure.

The scariest proposal of King, our Lord Obama is his global poverty act, I’ll gladly explain so even you liberals in the audience can understand. His plan is to tax us into submission and redistribute that wealth to impoverished countries. The only adjective as a response that I can think of is total idiocy. What in fact Obama’s plan will do is give these countries a fish instead of teaching them how to fish. If you really want to help third world countries export to them freedom, capitalism, free trade and industrialization. I would comment on Obama’s plan to increase the minimum wage to $10.00 and hour but that plan is so pandering and demeaning to my intelligence I’ll simply pass. However, I would ask but one question of you democrats feverishly typing personal attacks instead of debating my premises, this guy is the best you can do?

Liberalism Cannot Be Defended; I Dare You to Try

Just recently, on this forum, two questions were posited for the answer and perusal of those participants whose chose to participate. They were prescient questions deserving of an intelligent, thoughtful response. The two questions in question were these; what is a liberal and what is a conservative? The poster asked for well thought out, specific descriptions of the opposite ends of the political spectrum. As expected, as usual, I not only stepped up to the plate, I knocked it out of the park. I put on a blinding brilliance of literary composition rarely seen in human endeavor. {See my response below}

However, not one little, Lilliputian, liberal lackey bucked up, took the stage and dared to proffer a positive portrayal of the affliction that is modern liberalism. And, I think I know why. It would be much akin to pointing out the benefits of cancer.

Liberalism has no basis in fact, reason or sanity. It is unrealistic, antithetic to the principals and values this country was founded upon and requires the willing suspension of disbelief, “sound familiar?”

Liberals claim to believe in our constitution and deride George W. Bush for violating it by, “torturing” detainees currently living the good life at the renowned vacation retreat in the tropical paradise lovingly referred to as club Gitmo.

Yet liberals are nuanced in their devotion to the constitution that we conservatives consider sacrosanct. They ignore section two and enumerated powers; they are blind to the tenth amendment limiting federal authority to only those enumerated powers.

If they were honest with themselves, “not bloody likely” they would admit this one truism that is the wooden stake in the heart of Looney liberalism, it is the silver bullet, the Ark of the Covenant. Our founders were conservative. This is inarguable and unassailable. This country was founded on the principals of conservatism and our founding documents reflect that without doubt. It’s all there, in the words of those brave men whom born this country. Read them, learn them and then if you dare, argue your liberal point of view and open yourself up to be rhetorically dragged behind my smoke belching SUV, flailing in you flawed ideology. So, let’s just light this firecracker, you lose. Liberalism is a false premise and cannot be defended, that’s why no one even tried. Liberalism is simply an ideology converted to raw emotion without a valid premise. So, I’ll put forth again the offer no liberal would take. Explain liberalism and do so succinctly and with passion, with this one required caveat. You can’t use George Bush as your whipping boy to explain your ideology. Be cogent, concise and thorough. Convince us, we the people that you liberals can put this country on the yellow brick road, take your best shot. I’m just guessing there will be no reply.

My reply to the posited question; simply put, conservatives believe in lower taxes, smaller government and personal freedoms. With personal freedoms we also expect personal responsibility. We know that our constitution does not have any language that separates church and state. We believe as Ronald Reagan did that government is not the solution to our problems but that big government is the problem. We believe in American exceptionalism and manifest destiny. We hail Ronald Reagan as one of our greatest presidents and ask ourselves what we can do for our country. We believe in God. We believe there is no moral relativism between us and terrorist. We believe that capitalism is simply freedom to engage in commerce. We believe the United States Constitution to be the greatest document ever conceived and consider it sacrosanct. We believe that this country offers more possibilities to it’s citizenry than any other country in the history of time. We believe that any citizen can go as far in this country as their aptitude, ambition and energy will take them. We believe that all men and women are created equal, but not the same. We believe the people should decide issues of social policy and not a judge or judges. We believe in personal property rights. We believe in law and order and demand that those who break our laws pay full price. We believe we have dominion over the earth and a responsibility to it. Conservatives are eternal optimists, because we believe.

Mr. Rush Hudson Limbaugh

You may know this; you may not, doesn’t matter, because that’s what I’m here for, to inform and educate you, my loyal masses. In the blogosphere, on the airwaves and even in some of the mainstream media this is Rush Limbaugh week. Most liberals will stop reading at that last sentence yet they do so out of ignorance and petulance. This week Rush completes his twentieth year on the air with an audience of 22 million listeners weekly. Take that MSNBC.

Modern day conservatism began with Barry Goldwater, was expanded by William F. Buckley Jr. and blossomed with the great Ronald Reagan. Yet, Rush made conservatism a movement, an ideology and with prescient, positive, humorous daily content he has wrested the monopoly formerly enjoyed by the mainstream, lapdog media and turned what was a liberal media monologue into a national debate. And, at debating public policy Rush has no equal. He has total command of every subject and explains conservatism in a way most Americans who have matriculated through our addled public school system can understand. I’m convinced; “as he so often reminds us” that he does indeed have talent on loan from God.

Rush hit the radio waves in 1985 on a local station in San Diego, California. Almost immediately his wit, brevity and talent made possible his move to syndication in 1988 and today is carried on over six hundred American radio stations and a few overseas, “pirated” broadcasters.

Even as you liberals cringe and tear up you mental midgets have to admit, Rush is the king of talk radio.

Early in the 1980’s AM talk radio was dieing. All that was left was to throw dirt on the casket. There was even a theory being floated that the AM band should be transferred to law enforcement. Then Rush Limbaugh, Maha-Rushie stepped up. Not only did he single handedly save an entire industry he paved the way for Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Mark Levin, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Michael Gallagher, etc, etc.

What I find most disheartening is this; a full half of the country hates him and, “as studies have shown” a large percentage of those, “Rush deniers” don’t listen to his program. Rush is an unabashed conservative. He believes in the principals this country was founded upon, he considers our constitution sacrosanct and expounds American exceptionalism. Yet, from the left, he is painted as a racist, sexist, bigoted homophobe when nothing could be further from the truth. This is done to marginalize Rush as a right-wing kook and remove him from the national debate. Guess what folks, I repeat, 22 million listeners a week. Let’s just simplify this for you liberal rubes, Rush is the guy, he is our conservative oracle and the sad part is this; Rush has more sunsets behind him than he does sunrises ahead of him. I can just imagine the liberal content upon the death of this great man and it sickens me. Rush should be included with Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Franklin, and, lest we forget, Mr. Reagan. This country, our founders, our constitution couldn’t have been an accident, it had to have been ordained by our creator, and in my humble opinion God put Rush on this earth to do what he so brilliantly does, tell the truth and do so with wit and brevity.

You Can't Put Lipstick On A Muslim Pig

The undeniable truth in the war on terror is the one truism no one will speak, except for I, your conservative oracle, just who our enemy is, winning isn’t an option as our current battle plan is configured or conspired. So, enough of this political correct detritus and balderdash, let’s just call this war what it is and let the chips fall where they may. We are at war with Islam and we need to shout this out at the top of our lungs.

Andrew C. McCarthy, the federal prosecutor responsible imprisoning Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, “A.K.A. the Blind Sheikh” for the 1993 bombing of the world trade center in preparation of cross examining this evil bastard began with the premise this man was simply a radical Jihadist and a nut job. After months of research and Qur’an examination he came to a startling conclusion. Everything this blind walking human excrement said/did was based entirely upon the teachings of Mohamed and the Qur’an. As it turns out he wasn’t a radical, he was a mainstream Muslim. The radical Muslims sticking their necks out, “and often getting them chopped off” are the Islamite communities standing up to the mainstream Muslims, yet there are far too few of them and their voices are rarely heard. They are afraid. So let’s call this pig a pig, mainstream Islam, practicing the Qur’an faithfully are murdering, rapists hell bent on the destruction of every religion that is not theirs and even the murder/torture of radical Islamist, those Muslims who would be accepting of other religions. The Qur’an is very explicit, either convert to Islam or die. What happens if Jews and Christians don't want to live under the rules of Islam? Then Islam has to fight them and this fighting is called Jihad. Jihad means war against those people who don't want to accept the Islamic superior rule. That's jihad. They may be Jews; they may be Christians; they may be Polytheists. But since we don't have too many Polytheists left, at least not in the Middle East - their war is against the Jews and Christians. And guess what my Christian friends, they are committed and will never stop this war. Christian and Jews will die for their religion, Muslims will kill you for yours, and it’s that simple.

We have to accept this, and accept the responsibility this epiphany entails. But, most importantly, we have to accept Islam for what it is; it is not a religion, it is a cult. And the sooner we expose that truism the sooner we can begin dismantling this pseudo religion and shine the light brightly on this scam. Mohamed was no more a prophet than I am a gynecologist. Not that I don’t want to be and in my spare time I do the occasional examination, I’m just saying. Where was I? Oh Ya, Mohamed. I’m not going to sugar coat this and you hand wringing political correct wackos might want to stop reading right here and maybe go outside and hug a tree or visit an orphanage. You’ve been warned. Just to be sure, WARNING, Explicit truth about to be spoken. Mohamed was truly the epitome of evil. He murdered thousands, he held a special propensity for forcible rape, he was a pedophile and an extreme sadist who often enjoyed personally inflicting torture upon those not of his belief, “Cult”. And don’t you defenders of the cult of Islam dare to compare Christianity with Islam. Jesus never killed, raped or tortured anyone. So let’s be clear and review what we’ve learned. The Muslims torturing and beheading innocent people are the mainstream Muslims and they vastly outnumber those radical Islamist who accept coexistence with unlike religions. Even as I brilliantly convert the QWERTY keys into prescient thought I know what you’re asking yourself and me. Other than the edicts I have already professed the answer is Caterpillar incorporated, trust me on this. We, as Americans put Caterpillar on notice, we need every damn bulldozer they can produce. Then we proceed with the final solution, we bulldoze down every damn mosque in this country and in the words of Ann Coulter we invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. Nuff said.

It's Official; the ACLU hates America

As a true conservative I am a self described expert in the narrow field of how to argue with a liberal and win. What we conservatives understand is this; Conservatives argue ideology based upon facts. Liberals argue emotion. Today’s subject of dissertation will exhibit for all who can string syllabics into coherent thought just how the ACLU has set about to destroy Christianity and the American traditions enshrined in the founding of this country. A constant truism when arguing with a liberal is that the angrier a liberal gets, during a debate, the more he realizes his position has no merit. The liberal playbook; when they realize the argument/debate is lost is to pull out their trump card and accuse all who disagree with them of being racist, bigoted, biased, and sexist, filled with hate, homophobes or just plain idiot rubes. You see, liberals are convinced that they are the smartest people in the world and they are truly insulted when a mere conservative dares to proffer an opposing view. This is done to marginalize conservatives and remove them from the debate arena. Make no mistake, we conservatives will not allow ourselves to be marginalized. You can take that to your liberal bank.

I will now demonstrate beyond all certainty that the ACLU has declared war on Christianity and these forthcoming revelations are beyond reproach. What is truly sad and indicative of the polarization of our society is that whatever evidence I provide; “even if irrefutable” will promptly be ignored by the left. Regardless, hope springs eternal and conservatives are by nature, optimists.

The ACLU was founded by a Communist, with communist ideals, communist goals, and they continue to impose a Communist like agenda on America daily. The founder of the ACLU, Roger Baldwin stated clearly… “My chief aversion is the system of greed, private profit, privilege and violence which makes up the control of the world today, and which has brought it to the tragic crisis of unprecedented hunger and unemployment Therefore, I am for Socialism, disarmament and ultimately, for the abolishing of the State itself, I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class and sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.”

This revelation on its face would be, “in all intellectual circles” game, set and match. Yet, draw near and prepare to be dazzled with this soon to be award winning composition, for in this endeavor, with talent on loan from Rush, I draw inspiration from the almighty and have only just begun.

Federal Judge Phyllis Hamilton, “a Clinton appointee” recently upheld a ruling requiring seventh-grade students to pretend they're Muslims, wear Islamic garb, memorize verses from the Quran, pray to Allah and even to play "jihad games" in California public schools.(WND)

The ACLU has refused to comment on the ruling except to say they find, “nothing actionable” in the ruling. Translation: the ACLU doesn’t have a problem with it. If California public schools were requiring students to memorize Bible verses the ACLU would have lawyers kicking down the school doors and would be all over local school boards like Rosie O’Donnell on a baked ham. You just know they would.

In 1989 the ACLU began a crusade to remove the Mount Soledad Cross located in the center of a Korean War Memorial in San Diego, California. The Cross was erected in 1954. While continuing a battle to have the Cross removed they have defended Muslims who have demanded, “Foot Basins” in airports, football stadiums and other public places. Foot Basins are used by Muslims in preparation for prayer. "Why are we constructing places of worship for them inside our airports?" said an airport official who requested anonymity. "Why are we catering to their rituals? We don't do it for any other religion."(WND) As Christians, let’s ask airport officials for a chapel and see how long it takes for the ACLU to come to our aid. Waiting……….waiting……..

While absolutely berating pharmacists, who, “because of religious convictions” have refused to sell “Levonelle”, commonly referred to as the morning after pill. The ACLU defends Muslim taxi drivers who have refused to carry passengers who have been drinking alcohol or possess alcohol. The ACLU has even gone as far as to defend the rights of Muslim taxi drivers to refuse to carry blind patrons who avail themselves of a Seeing Eye dog. The Islamic religion considers dogs unclean. If Timmy’s in the well does it matter if Lassie has had a bath? In a related case, it wasn’t a surprise when the ACLU came to the defense of Muslims employed at Target stores who refused to scan pork products. Got Bacon?

At this point I imagine liberal foreheads to be throbbing and I know just how to push them over the edge. Abortion, utter the word and liberals go running for a soapbox. In 1973 the United States Supreme Court found a right to privacy in the constitution where one did not exist. Since then over 40 million abortions have been performed. Abortion angers conservatives on two fronts. We believe abortion to be immoral and an adulteration of our constitution.

The ACLU, “with a nod from the courts” has taken abortion out of the public debate, “or so they thought” and relegated this most important decision to nine justices and not to the people. Now, the ACLU is going after the tax exempt status of churches who dare speak out against abortion on moral grounds, calling such speech political. In 1987, the ACLU Foundation and the New York Civil Liberties Union filed an amicus brief in support of Abortion Rights Mobilization to secure standing in a suit challenging the tax exempt status of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church was charged with violating its tax-exempt status by taking a stand against abortion. This is important and deserving of explanation. First the ACLU takes a pro-abortion stance and asks for judicial relief insomuch as abortion is a legal question to be removed from the political debate. After a Supreme Court affirmation of this argument the ACLU reverses itself and makes the wild claim that abortion is a political topic and those who would engage in the abortion debate are involved in political speech. That takes chutzpah folks.

The evidence is overwhelming and I could continue to list it for days. The ACLU is anti-Christianity and anti-American. There can be no other conclusion and those who would argue differently are either an order of French fries short of a happy meal of need to have their medications refilled.

The Government Giveth And The Government Taketh

A predictable Pavlovian precedent by the United States senate today in response to the housing meltdown was, as usual, incoherent, incompetent and more than likely unconstitutional. Think equal protection clause. As usual, what congress is doing, in the simplest terms, is creating another problem to solve the problem they created. And, let’s not kid ourselves; the housing crisis is entirely the responsibility of the elected idiots we have duly elected. First congress passed the fair housing act, requiring lenders to lower their standards and loan money to deadbeats, degenerates, déclassé and the defalcate then they disallowed the common and “fiducially responsible” practice of red lining, a system designed to keep loaned money out of blighted areas because of the enormous risks involved to investors, the real loaners of capital.

Combine the ineptitude of congress with the enabling of the Federal Reserve and you have a co-dependence of idiocy addiction and by God it’s time for a twelve step program for these elected and appointed arbiters of economic policy.

Today the Senate approved a 300 billion dollar bailout for those idiots working at MacDonald’s, moving into a $300,000.00 dollar house and for lenders like Countrywide who not only loaned money to illegal Hispanics but also loaned money to the homeless for new refrigerator boxes.

I know I’ve done this often, yet it bears repeating; the government doesn’t have a job, they create no revenue and they never have to fill out a W-2. Every damn dime they have they took from us, we the people, under the threat of jail.

I don’t know about you but I don’t want to bail anyone out, ever. Well, not ever. My wife has a friend, a single mother working her ass off to support two kids with a deadbeat dad somewhere out there in the ether. She’s bucking up, she works two jobs, she has never taken a dime from the government and on occasion we, “because we choose to” not because my government forces me to, we help her. We want to. But it’s our choice and not forced upon us by government fiat.

And, let’s consider this, a pertinent and prescient posit. Under our constitution our federal government is charged with maintaining a common defense, printing a national currency and settling commerce disputes between the several states. Read the tenth amendment.

So, what we have here is a failure to communicate. Our elected monolithic, moronic, manic, and malicious congress has taken upon them the very thing our founders fought against. We are now oppressed with 535 King George the thirds and it is my fear that it will take another Lexington and Concord to again proclaim this the land of the free and the home of the brave. Let me remind you, we are endowed by our creator, not by government. By the way, Wal-Mart is having a sale on pitchforks, I’m just saying.

I Am The Answer

Every single frigging day we are deluged by the Poindexter, know it all, societal police who are always hand wringing about this or that. Be it global warming, obesity or the homeless, these do-gooders are always in a huff about something. They’re like flies, buzzing around, just annoying the hell out of you. Well, I’ve had it and just to shut them the hell up, have come up with some real life, “workable” solutions for most of their strife, if they just stop jumping up and down long enough to listen.

Obesity, hey, this is simple. What we need is the fat police, skinny little officers who’ll run around the community, kick in the doors to all these fat bastard’s abodes and head straight for the refrigerator. Here’s what they do, first they cut the electrical cord to the fridge and then take an axe to their air conditioner. That’s right fatty, no more pudding for you and from now on you’re going to sweat those pounds away. Guess what, fat people sweat and make their own gravy, so sweat away those pounds fatso and once a day the fat police are going to come by your house and poke you with a sharp stick and make you run around the house until you’re skin and bones. Six minute abs my ass.

Another constant gripe from these pseudo neurotics is our failing Social Security system, “its going broke, and seniors will be eating dog food, yada, yada, yada”. You just want to slap em.

Here’s what we do, and this is brilliant. Remember those Joe Camel commercials targeting children to smoke. I say we bring them back in force. Maybe even sponge Bob atop a horse smoking a Marlboro. That would be great! Think about it, we get the little nippers to start smoking in pre-school and guess what? They’ll never make it to Social Security, problem solved. I know what you’re thinking, this girl could be president. Yes, yes I could.

Okay, this global warming thing is a little more complicated but not insurmountable, at least not for my giant brain. And, I think we can kill two birds with one stone, or one stoning as it were. We all know it’s a scam, it just is, but the hand wringers are getting everything from scurvy to irritable bowel syndrome worrying about it. So, this is what we do, and, it’s simple physics. Heat sand to a high enough temperature and you get glass. And, the Middle East has been a pain in our ass since the days of Charlemagne. Math is math, it just is. We have a butt load of dusty, unused nuclear weapons and the Middle East is pretty much nothing but sand. Guess what you Einstein’s, glass reflects the suns rays. So, the whole Middle East is now reflecting the sun’s rays back into the atmosphere and we’re global warming the moon. What the hell did the moon ever do for us anyway, it makes my wife nuts once a month and I can’t park my boat at low tide. That’s right, I said it, bite me moon and kiss my moon.

Alright, that brings us to the homeless, those useless waifs. As an evil conservative I would just trap them like rats and send them to France. Yet, these whiny liberals seem to love these smelly, good for nothing dregs and drags on society. So, we have to at least pretend like we care. We don’t, yet we’ll pretend. Alright, another two birds with one stone, by the way, I’m all for doing away with birds too. Anyway, the homeless problem directly correlates with the increase in DUI arrests. Hey, numbers don’t lie and liars don’t number. Did I say that right? Doesn’t matter, here’s the plan. Let’s put the drunks back on the road. Look, even if we have to put football helmets on them we need these drunks to support the homeless. Think about it, these smelly, good for nothing homeless depend on aluminum cans as a mainstay of their disposable income. They push they’re K-Mart shopping carts up and down the roads looking for aluminum cans and since we’ve taken the drunks off the road there is little return on their investment. Get the drunks back throwing their beer cans out the window at eighty miles an hour and these panhandler pests are back in business! Now we just need to install shower stations at every other mile marker.

See, my point is this; conservatism always works, every time it’s tried. Glad I could help.

Today Is Independence Day; I’ll Bet You Didn’t Know That

Actually, today is Independence Day, though most Americans would not know that. Thomas Jefferson presented the article to the continental congress on July 2, 1776 and it was printed on July 4th yet the abstract was signed on July 3^rd. There is a lot of history unknown to our citizenry as modern day education places little emphasis on patriotism and American exceptionalism. Thank God you have me, your conservative oracle and unabashed patriot. So, set back, perhaps pour yourself an adult beverage and bask in my brilliance on this day when in 1776 the greatest nation on earth was born.

Governor Morris of Pennsylvania was put in charge of the committee to draft the final copy of the Constitution. Other men who had much to do with writing the Constitution included, “John Dickinson, Edmund Randolph, Roger Sherman, James Wilson, and George Wythe.” These men, “though competent” were scribes, merely 18^th century Dictaphones. The more apt question, in my mind is, “who authored our constitution?”

How many high school graduates could answer that question? How many of you can? If you don’t know, you will soon, I’ll tell you. Before I do there are other, equally important things you should know on this most important, historical day.

Thomas Jefferson is widely credited with authoring the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson was asked to write the declaration article in early June, 1776 and finished it in less than three weeks. Jefferson, along with 54 compatriots on a very hot day in July affixed their signatures to the document. It is widely known that Jefferson had an account at the tavern across the street from the Graff House, “Declaration Hall” an account that grew to some size even with Jefferson’s means. As Jefferson was a man endowed with a great moral character this footnote is insightful. Jefferson knew that by authoring this document he was daring the British to hang him. Had they caught him they surely would have.

Thomas Jefferson finished the declaration and it was signed by the delegates on July 3rd, 1776. Don’t send me mail you history buffs. The signing was on the 3^rd, it was printed on the 4^th. John Hancock signed the document with an extraordinary large signature declaring, “I want King George to be able to read it without having to put on his spectacles”.

Jefferson and the signers declared that we should be a sovereign country. George Washington made it happen.

Born in 1732 into a Virginia planter family, he learned the morals, manners, and body of knowledge requisite for an 18th century Virginia gentleman. He pursued two intertwined interests; military arts and western expansion. At 16 he helped survey Shenandoah lands for Thomas, Lord Fairfax. Commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he fought the first skirmishes of what grew into the French and Indian War. The next year, as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddock, he escaped injury although four bullets ripped his coat and two horses were shot from under him.

When the Second Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia in May 1775, Washington, one of the Virginia delegates, was elected Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. On July 3, 1775, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, he took command of his ill-trained troops and embarked upon a war that was to last six grueling years.

Washington had not the best temperament as the commander of the patriot army. He routinely ordered the whipping of troops in his command for insubordination and other infractions of military decorum. He was a hard man. What isn’t widely known is that Washington personally financed, to the extent possible much of the expenses incurred by the continental army. Washington suffered many a demoralizing defeat at the hands of the British and caused Thomas Paine, “the Rush Limbaugh of his time” to write, "These are the times that try men's souls." The deciding battle came as Washington crossed the Delaware to surprise the Hessians. It was a bold act and energized the continental army and our country. The rest is history, if proper history were to be taught today.

George Washington secured our sovereignty yet not our freedom. Our constitution did so, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

The Virginian version of our constitution was authored by James Madison whom later became our fourth president and commander in chief during the war of 1812. Madison worked most directly with Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine and John Adams in the construction of our constitution as we know it.

Our constitution was created with the declaration in mind, that we are endowed by our creator. In literary form it is practically without fault, an inspired document.

All of this historical documentation leads me to ask a question, a pertinent and prescient one. Were it possible to know, what would the framers and those that fought for this countries sovereignty and freedoms think if they could witness the functioning state of the country they born?

Our framers envisioned a country whereupon rugged individualism and personal freedoms made us distinctly dissimilar and exceptional. In the Federalists paper # 39 James Madison describes the difference between Federalism and nationalism. He noted, “That it will be a federal and not a national act, as these terms are understood by the objectors; the act of the people, as forming so many independent States, not as forming one aggregate nation, is obvious from this single consideration, that it is to result neither from the decision of a MAJORITY of the people of the Union, nor from that of a MAJORITY of the States. It must result from the UNANIMOUS assent of the several States that are parties to it, differing no otherwise from their ordinary assent than in its being expressed, not by the legislative authority, but by that of the people themselves. Were the people regarded in this transaction as forming one nation, the will of the majority of the whole people of the United States would bind the minority, in the same manner as the majority in each State must bind the minority; and the will of the majority must be determined either by a comparison of the individual votes, or by considering the will of the majority of the States as evidence of the will of a majority of the people of the United States. Neither of these rules has been adopted. Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a FEDERAL, and not a NATIONAL constitution.”

What Madison so eloquently put forth is that we can all rally around a national flag yet; the power of our government must remain with the states.

My favorite amendment is the tenth. Wherein; “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people.” Sadly, the tenth amendment has been adulterated by the commerce clause with attribution to the Supreme Court.

I’ll admit conscribing a return address that reads, “Illinois” is a hard sell wherein I conjoin with the 10^th. Yet imagine this; our federal government is restricted to abiding by the constitution and the real legislative power belongs to the states as written by our framers. The results would be states that actually have to compete for residents. If the tax burden in state X is too high you could move to state Y. As is, in a national form of government, “never intended by our founders” there is no escape.

I ask you again; what would our framers say?

George Washington served two terms and the country wanted to make him King. Though Mount Vernon lay in ruins Washington never drew a salary as president saying, “It is unseemly.” He retired from political life and died just three years later from throat cancer.

James Madison also died shortly after leaving office. “In a note opened after his death in 1836, he stated, "The advice nearest to my heart and deepest in my convictions is that the Union of the States be cherished and perpetuated."

What would they think? Really, ask yourself. Is the form and substance of government we are today compelled to abide with the imaginings of those great men upon whose dreams for greatness we were founded. Ask yourself, and then ask those who have adulterated and obliterated the documents upon which we were founded. In forming this country the framers pledged their fortunes, lives and sacred honor. How much honor have you witnessed in American government as it exists today? Our elected officials we must currently abide should be ashamed and should ask themselves what I have asked. What would the framers think?

The Treachery of Democrats and guess what, We Won

You just know the democrats are singing the blues and taking advantage of vast quantities of powerful pharmaceuticals. Quietly, under the cover of darkness, the democratic leadership received a report on Iraq that they themselves had asked for. The news wasn’t good. A year ago the report given to congress by General David Petraeus concluded the Iraqi government had only achieved seven of the eighteen benchmarks set forth by the democratic congress. Last night they received a report that sixteen of the eighteen benchmarks had been achieved, Al Qaeda in Iraq is no longer in Iraq, the Mahdi army has been defeated, Muqtada al sadr, “Mookie” is hiding in Iran and most of the top American and Iraqi military leadership are openly saying this war is over. All that is left is for the fat lady to sing and she’s rapidly warming up, bad news indeed, for the democrats, the party of retreat and defeat.

Perhaps had the leftists left themselves a backdoor, an escape hatch if you will and merely criticized the conduct and the progression of the war instead of declaring it lost and calling for a troop withdrawal with our tail between our legs. But no, the democrats not only became invested in defeat they bought it outright and now hold clear title.

What also struck me, yet surprised me not, was seeing this cross my Associated Press feed late last night and I have yet to see more than two news stories with this content and nothing on the three broadcast networks.

But, it’s a long tine until November and voices louder than mine will pick this up, it will get out and when the American people recognize the treachery and deceit that has been employed by the democrats there will be hell to pay. Remember the words of Senator Harry Reid, “The war is lost”. He said those words while our brave marines were kicking ass and taking names. They never gave up, they never thought they had lost, they never lost their honor. They bucked up and did what their country asked them to do, win. And, by god they did it. For the democrats to disparage their efforts and declare a premature loss they not only sold out our fighting men, they sold out their own country. And, for that they will be damned.
