It's an Evil Takeover Thing

Dear America,

what?

we     were     on     a     break.

and quickly -- without even thinking, really -- "the break" spun totally out of control.

Consider it a version of Spring Break OCD-G Gone Wild.

It all started so innocently enough; never in my wildest dreams did I think replacing a face plate over the light switch would turn into a whole new vibe -- complete with fresh paint, handpicking bath accessories, a hunt for the perfect light fixture, and of course, the back-breaking task of painting the nooks and crannies of a room so small, supply lines so annoying, and bending my neck while twisting my back while trying to breathe all to get to the wall in the corner and behind the commode. ew.

and the clean-up in the aftermath, oh my.  my body ached in places never having seen the light of day.

Oh sure, it feels good now, after a few soaks in Epsom salts, a frosty Manhattan - served up (duh), a heating pad on just the right spot, and finally -- days later -- after a really good night's sleep.   

I returned to the land of the living and an awareness of life outside my box just in time to wish I lived under a rock.   For upon the first morning light, President Obama decided to take a few victory laps for his latest entitlement abomination, Obamacare.  

But there he was.

Celebrating "7.1 million" sign-ups........gliding out to the podium looking like the stud who screwed 300 million drunk in love, unconscious, low-information (aka stupid) gaggle of giddy goof-offs; and appearing totally high -- hopped up on his own Excellency, living out the progressive wet dreams of taking down America's exceptionalism, maybe even the standard of living,. a few notches, if not destroying our economy altogether.

It's a mastermind fit for a king.

Makes me wonder.

Wonder if Barack Obama, Barry, whatever -- ever cleaned a bathroom, let alone laboriously renovated one over a long DIY weekend and then some?

But I seriously digress.

I love how the numbers dwindled around next to none for months on end, only to have them escalate --  the closer we got to March 31--  by the millions!    And for all terminally ill intents and purposes, might as well call it overnight.

But here's a real kicker:  less than 2% were previously part of the group recognized as the UNINSURED, aka the very reason we "needed" this entitlement so badly in the first place.

Of course, the question of who has actually paid for their damn insurance is virtually an unknown; we may never know at this rate.  What happens in the eyes of D.C. stays in D.C..

"No, the Affordable Care Act hasn’t fixed our long broken health care system, but this law has made our health care system a lot better." .

..a lot better, he says -- President Obama.

[But wait a minute:  what do mean it "hasn't fixed" it?  And come to think of it, were we broken?  Really?  Seriously?  With 85% of us happy and covered like California?   And what's with the " a lot better?"  Says who? You?  Better for some, but worse for some more?]

Going back to November of last year, 4.2 MILLION Americans LOST their insurance under Obamacare; and being on a trajectory to have 80% of individuals covered on individual plans ultimately set up to lose their insurance  -- compounded by time and idiocy run amuck -- it may just be a bit premature to hang his Mission Accomplished banner.  See more, here.

And bear in mind -- much of the law has been delayed by Executive Order by this president in order to postpone the worst until after the election.  ...Titanic, meet Tip.

Last weekend -- after I resigned myself to the couch and my remote for a wee bit, countering my knock down drag out with Behr Marquee Golden Aura [Home Depot rocks my world] sunshine on the wall with my usual array of Sunday morning evangelism -- my ears started burning with something I never quite heard like this before.

It was a playback on Amazing Facts -- when Pastor Doug was describing Lucifer.

God made Lucifer, you know.  And made him the top angel, actually.

And just to be clear, Lucifer was put in charge of ALL the angels.  

He was good, holy and upstanding in every way.

Pastor Doug tells the story that over time, it would appear that somehow, some way, the power went to Lucifer's head.  He basically thought, hey man -- I can do what God does...why can't I be in charge....why am I not God?  

And God -- being the Creator and all  and creating the universe and all of it's potential goodness resting on the law of free will -- simply let Lucifer have at it and go wild.  In the end, Lucifer reached a point of no return.  He went bad and it was done [well, technically, not quite; but not to worry].

The reality is, God didn't make any thing in existence to be His puppets -- including the angels, including Lucifer, including each one of us.

He didn't want to force his creation to follow Him, or be good; he wanted all creatures to come to Him, naturally, without force or coercion and most of all, by CHOICE.

But as we have well witnessed being part of the land of the living, our humanity carries in the gene pool this very conflict of good and evil. It lives on in us, and, individually, we do battle with it every minute of every day.

The thing is, nothing is immune.

America's overall well being began when a few Renaissance men articulated a new standard, a new precedence, based upon the teachings of good and evil for the ages.  Our founders collected and clarified and constituted a way to live in America under the Rule of Law, Nature's Law, and all the while extending high privileges to those who can, the self-reliant.

They elevated INDEPENDENCE in every possible way, and made the case against DEPENDENCE, in order to provide a more perfect union.

With Obamacare, we are fast approaching the point of no return.

America is at a crossroads deciding who wins -- dependence or independence; the individual power over the state or the state power over the individual,  and it's really as simple as that.

From Thomas Jefferson [and G has used this before; apparently is was 4/26/2010, as a notation is in the margin of my favorite thing:  The 5000 Year Leap] :

"The way to have good and safe government is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly the functions he is competent to [perform best].  Let the national government be entrusted with the defense of the nation, and its foreign and federal relations; the State governments with the civil rights, laws, police, and administration of what concerns the State generally; the counties with the local concerns of the counties, and each ward [township] direct the interests within itself.  It is by dividing and subdividing these republics, from the great national one down through all its subordinations, until it ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best.  What has destroyed liberty and the rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun?  The generalizing and concentrating all cares and powers into one body, no matter whether of the autocrats of Russia or France, or the aristocrats of a Venetian senate."

This is precisely the problem with the rise of Progressives large and small.

It's the promise made to the general public -- from health to wealth -- that heaven and everything else under the sun can be yours if you just follow me, P.  It's evil, really.  Pure evil.

It destroys who we are as a nation, usurping the precedence, the traditions, the Law, the way we live in every possible way.  And now, these usurpations are accelerating at a rate so great, the average American can't even keep up --  but considering half of  all Americans could really care less, what difference at this point does it make, right?

Oh I'm sure everything will turn out just fine.

Men are just angels.

Oh no -- I feel like I'm getting backed into a corner all over again... bending my neck.... while twisting my back.... while trying to breathe ....behind the commode.    Bartender?


Make it a Good Day, G

It's About Bold Character Derived from Stubbord Patience Thing

Dear America,

continuing on a theme for a nano-second, wonder how many trans-genders occupy the Putin Administration's military?  Wonder, too, how many rubles and rubies each one gets for a sex change? 

ah, no bother, that was yesterday's news -- just one day in the life living in America.

Today might just be about a certain Bold Character derived from Stubborn Patience.  This could be describing many things -- America, Putin...me -- but it's origins came from a side of a bottle of wine.  A Paso Creek, Cabernet Sauvignon,  from Paso Robles, California, to be exact.  Can you say,очень вкусный, yummy good?

“Comrade @BarackObama,” so tweeted  Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, “what should do those who have neither accounts nor property abroad? Or U didn’t think about it?”

I'm sorry.
Creepy is seeing the address Comrade boldly inserted before our American president's name.

While in today's headlines, we get Putin, himself, chiming in with a reality check mate to you, comrade...  Highlighted @The Blaze.com:   "He said Western attempts to intimidate Russia with sanctions 'would be viewed as an act of aggression, and that Moscow would retaliate'."

An act of aggression, you say?

Cause for retaliation, you add?

Say it isn't so.

What do you mean Putin is hardly intimidated, not even a smidgen?

What do you mean Putin feels emboldened to hold his own red line, tie it around America's feet, attach a brick off the Kremlin, throw us into the drink, and then toss back a shot of vodka with glee?   Who's your daddy, I mean prankster, I mean fearless leader, now?   #comrade-stupid-americans....

And if, by chance, Russia can control it's own destiny and make up happy endings on the fly, would not the "settled science" of "global warming" counter the measly freezing of a few Russian assets?  Where's the threat? 

Economic sanctions seems to be the go-to diplomatic means for peaceful ends; it's just too bad it doesn't seem to work. 

[Gotta love the addition of various bios of the Russian elites with assets, courtesy of ABC News...in case you missed it, just a quick page up to the Dimitry Rogozin link]

Oi vay.  
It's Obama's war now --  I mean, grim Lenin's fairy tale with puppy dog tails between the legs, is it not?  Bold character with stubborn patience, not.

The good news.
In theory, Obama has just as much power as Putin to make it up as he goes along, no? 

ah, you laugh in the face of danger. 
But in reality,
isn't that what being a leader and having a real plan -- one fortified with military and diplomatic strateeeguries and everything -- is all about?  All the world makes it up as it goes along.

• Having a plan, boom. 
• Understanding the enemy, boom. 
• Recognizing the weaknesses, boom. 
• Contemplating the unintended consequences, boom.
• Follow through with all threats, boom.  
• Seeing a multitude of scenarios play out BEFORE anything happens, boom. 
• Going for the win, boom.
• Being a Commander in Chief, boom.

Obama is truly exceptional at making things up as he goes along.  History proves it:

He made things up in Benghazi.

He made things up in the IRS scandal.

He made things up in Libya.

He made things up in Egypt and the "Arab Spring".

He has made things up throughout every ugly facet of Obamacare -- and even then, if at first you don't succeed, try, try, again.[aaaah, scratch that, didn't mean it ...so says the father of the failing, freaking, fiasco that is responsible for breaking the American health care industry, constituting one-sixth of this nation's economy, to infinity and beyond].

I mean, economic sanctions are powerful things. 
Talk about economic sanctions...

Domestically --  we are in the midst of sanctions so great -- the low information voter and all those otherwise tied emotionally to this current regime are fundamentally immune to recognizing the total economic collapse laying in wait. 

Now to the cut and paste elements of today's news -- and it's plucked out of an email from a trusted source -- my papa xoxo:

 

How to create a social state by Saul Alinsky:

 

There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important.

 

1) Healthcare– Control healthcare and you control the people

 

2) Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.

 

3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

 

4) Gun Control– Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.

 

5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income)

 

6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school.

 

7)Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools

 

8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

What is so different?
Seriously.

What is so different from the actions of a President Putin, in the specific, and a Russia, in general,  and a fellow world leader and comrade, President Barack Obama?


Welcome to America --  a nation whittled down to nothing more than a project of progressives and elitists,  undermining the natural state of everything under the sun, where the ends justify the means, a place where pranksters lead and a police state -- with origins of the State --  lives outrageously.

And finally, call in the big guns (if we have any left)  -- for America also happens to be the nation leading from behind as the international laughing stock.

Is this a great country, or what?

Hail to the bold character derived from stubborn patience not lost.

Make it a Good Day, G


 

It's a Read It and Weep Thing

Dear America,

This morning I am going to try something different.

Running in the same vein with yesterday's theme -- being just plum tired of being lied to -- we will link to the entire transcript of the president's speech to America.  Wrought with simply too many contradictions to pick out one by one, I will leave it to YOU, the party of one, to read thoroughly at your leisure. Amazing stuff; and not in a good way.

But before we begin, my apologies for opting to use the NY Times as the medium between; while that runs second in condolences for the thirteen pages to read in turn.  Having said that, you must realize taking the president's majestic persona out of the mix, reading the speech in his own words, one by one, double speak and rhetoric and all, changes everything.

On the virtual eve of ringing in another election year, we must realize how presidents from both sides of the aisle have toyed with us, lied to us, played with us; America has gone from the free market plum to a dried up prune, allowing progressives to alter our foundation, our traditions, our free enterprising spirit under a slow, constant depletion of the natural resources required to grow our true good.

Evaporating the very ideals that have made America great, this is what progressives do best.

Pay attention to every word from this stunner of a speech; print it out, underline key phrases... match them up with the contradiction, flat-out lie, or distortion of American fundamentals in nearly the very next breath; over and over and over, this president leaves us wanting, searching for the vine of truth.

Frankly, this speech makes him sound like an idiot; he is reaching for something that remains a total mystery [for him] -- you know...given his background, his community organizing mindset, his Marxist family history, sitting in the pews for twenty years with his Black Liberation Mentor and Church Leader, given his terrorist neighbor who launched his political career, his host of Czars in the White House linked to socialism and communism and Mao along with social engineering aplenty...

..this speech should scare the living daylights out of every American.

So without further adieu, here it is. Read it and weep.

Make it a Good Day, G

need a second opinion?  Read THIS.  Free market has NEVER worked according to THIS American president.  shocker.

It's all about those Lazy Americans, Spoken by a Marxist, kind of Thing

Dear America,

"We’ve been a little bit lazy 

over the last couple of decades.  

We’ve kind of taken for granted — 

‘Well, people would want to come here’ — 

and we aren’t out there hungry, 

selling America 

and trying to attract new businesses 

into America.”  

Obama @APEC, addressing CEO's

let's be clear; he's not calling the workers lazy...au contraire


he is speaking down to the nation's CEO's who create and manage the jobs  (for the workers).

Besides being of the belief that progress, ergo technology, takes away jobs and opportunity for the little worker bees (remember that day...the Proletariat-in-Chief revolting against the ATM's and airport kiosks) -- also known as, buying into Fallacy #12, as laid out in my new favorite read, The Naked Communist; it's the one that "[assumes] that technological developments would make machines more and more efficient and therefore throw so many men out of work that they would compete for jobs until wages would become more and more meager..."

...the president is also fiercely supporting the very same mindset that is being promoted by the latest round of revolutionaries of the Occupy Wall Street movement; clearly misguided by their own ignorance -- of How the Real World Works, and more importantly, how the real world requires everyone to work together -- our president takes a side.  And it isn't the right one.  Matter of fact, it is quite un-American to boot.

With the arrival of the factory -- and the factory worker -- Karl Marx and his partner in crime-inism, Friedrich Engels, came to the realization that the evil capitalists, and all their wares, would eventually, most assuredly, be overthrown.  They figured that there would come a day when the modern world would test this relationship of worker bee and CEO; and even though communism survives merely upon one fallacy built upon another -- when answering the question as to the social responsibility of the simple factory, Marx and Engels truly believed "no private individual should get the profits from something which many people were required to produce."

Again, from The Naked Communist:

"Marx and Engels did not believe that wages were adequate compensation for labor performed unless the workers received all the proceeds from the sale of the commodity.  Since the hands of the workers produced the commodity they believed the workers should receive all the commodity was worth.  They believed that the management and operation of a factory were only 'clerical in nature' and that in the near future the working class should rise up and seize the factories or means of production and operated them as their own."

like that would solve anything.

but details, right; while this incite is only immediately followed up with a question, "without his willingness to risk considerable wealth would there be any factory?"

you know, tomorrow, the Occupy Wall Street revolutionaries plan on taking down Wall Street -- they have every intention to bring it to a screeching halt using whatever means available and possible.

I cannot help but notice how incredibly easy it is for people to pipe up and revolt AFTER the wealth, after the profits, after some people might have made more money than others (in perfect relationship to the degree of effort, responsibility, investment, and level of risk put up in the first place).

But when a president of the United States -- the birthplace of self-reliance and mass purveyor of free enterprise, independent commerce, free trade, with equal protections and opportunity safely held under the Rule of Law for one and all -- continuously speaks of such ill will against those 'who risk', in effect it becomes real cause to sound the alarm. This progression is inevitable within the common sense frame of mind.

Just who is this guy and what are his true beliefs?

There is just one more excerpt from The Naked Communist that I wish to share aloud... before I give it a rest for the day:

"One cannot pore over the almost endless products of his pen -- the weighty, complex books or the reams of sniping, feverish correspondence without feeling that Karl Marx projected into Communism the very essence of his own nature.  His resentment of political authority expressed itself in a ringing cry for universal revolution.  His refusal or inability to compete in a capitalistic economy wrung from him a vitriolic denunciation of that economy and a prophecy that its destruction was inexorably decreed.  His deep sense of insecurity pushed him to create out of his own imagination a device for interpreting history which made progress inescapable and a Communist millennium unavoidable.  His personal attitude toward religion, morals, and competition in everyday  existence led him to long for an age when men would have no religion, morals, or competition in everyday existence.  He wanted to live in a classless, stateless, noncompetitive society where there would be such lavish production of everything that men, by simply producing according to their apparent ability, would automatically receive a superabundance of all material needs."  [about Marx]

scary, isn't it?

"He wanted to live in a classless, stateless, noncompetitive society where there would be such lavish production of everything that men, by simply producing according to their apparent ability, would automatically receive a superabundance of all material needs."  And if I'm not mistaken, sounds to me like we are knee deep in the imaginations of a community organizer [like Marx] who has never held a real job in his life.  If Obama had a drinking problem and left his family to fend for themselves half the time, we might find ourselves spot on.

A real, live, naked, Communist rests his future upon the belief that "each will produce according to his ability and and each will receive according to his need."  And in order for this to succeed, the motivation to turn a profit (large or small) is replaced with working to benefit society as a whole -- replacing a nation built upon a Declaration of Independence and Constitution with a new one; and thereby transforming a nation of self-reliant capitalists with the proletariat's pipe dream... giving rise to a collective authority and priority, as dictated by the state. [and, of course, ending with extinguishing all incentive to progress as individuals at all]

It begins with presidents (kings, dictators...) declaring a class struggle in every possible way.  It progresses, with advancements in technology made to look evil -- with risk takers, and the whole lot  (especially those pesky CEO's) made to look utterly lazy.

Make it a Good Day, G

the capitalist system is not perfect BECAUSE man, the capitalist, is not perfect...
...if only men were angels...
...blah, blah, blah, blah, blahhhhhhhhhg.

It's SOCIALISM Stupid, Among Other Things

Dear America,

happy wednesday. (salutations)

we have a new member of the family.  I like to think of her as a just a girl, her name is Charlotte, a day in the life spinning her world wide web called home.  She sits right outside my kitchen window and every morning she coaxes me into believing she means know harm, as I go about my business making coffee.   

It's just Charlotte.

and just so you know, she is HUGE (I would tell her she's fat, to cut back on a fly or two, but where would that lead?  would it change anything? I think not.  And besides --  then, I would not only be feeling her menacing stare down each morn, wondering what on earth is going on in that puffy little head of hers, I would always be looking over my shoulder after she intermittently retreats during the high noon sun).

as Arachnids go, Charlotte is one of the biggest, fat-est, ugliest little things I have laid my eyes on in a long time.  seriously.

I have to think of her as something out of a storybook or nursery rhyme -- for without making a conscious shift convincing myself that she is the sweetest thing ever, I would be totally freaked out!

oh my goodness. oh my goodness. just thinking about her is making me squirm.

It's just Charlotte; there is nothing to be afraid of G...what is the big f*&@ deal?

She is outside -- you are inside.  
She is wheely, wheely whittle -- you are wheely, wheely big.

oh right, and just where the hell am I going with this this morning?

Let's start over.

happy wednesday.

I am just surprised, if not stunned, of how easily we can be swayed, misguided, duped, by simply giving something a new name.

That's it.
Have a nice day, buh-bye.

ah, who am I kidding.  I'm not done.

So apparently, living in the United States of America, circa 2011 -- in the land of the free and home of the brave, creator of jack be nimble and jane be quick, having given birth to self-reliance and the power of one, maker of true liberty and justice for all -- every ideal and principle we have grown to love and adore, shelter and protect, uplift and respect, has been upended, subverted, usurped or come undone.

HOW?  just by giving it a new name.

ahh don't be afraid, it's just Charlotte.

So the behaviors and actions and policies and regulations we used to consider to be acts of socialism, or communism, or Marxism -- spinning and weaving the very ideals we knew in our heart to be economically and culturally overwhelmingly dangerous -- is now just Progressive-ism.    It's no big deal, right?

ahhh, isn't she so sweet.

Truth is, there are some super scary things going on in America, but the scariest of all seems to be our response to it.

we do not multiply wealth by dividing it.

we do not lift people out of poverty by giving them the fish.

we do not make good money after bad.

we do not reap when we do not sow.

we do not make a good day when we do nothing.

we do not create happiness when we think despair.

we do not grow our good when we plant bad seeds.

stop...enough already...we get it.

AND when it comes to the Republic for which we stand:

WE, The People, DO NOT build a strong America when we lower ourselves to the weakest link, punish success, cease to aspire, stop showing up, make excuses, point fingers, divide the populace by propaganda, extinguish all signs of faith in God, and all but eliminate every single founding principle and value. It just can't be done.

We can call it by any name we want to get us through the day; but by the end of the day, don't kid yourself, it will no longer be a Republic held in high esteem and recognized the world over as the leader of the free world.  We could look out our window all the live long day, but that America would be all gone. buh-bye.

The thing is, what grew over days, weeks, months, totally and fundamentally transforming itself into something else right before our eyes carries the potential of being the shape-shifter of our greatest demise.  One man's sweet, whittle, progressive-ism is another man's socialism, communism, marxism.

BE afraid, people, be afraid.

It's just Charlotte?  I  think not.

Let's call her what she really is -- the big, fat, ugly, menacing beast that she is; the biggest, freakiest, scariest spider I have ever seen in my whole entire life. not exaggerating one bit.  she is butt ugly.  and being a stubborn little thing, she seems to have settled in quite happily under the eaves.

and just look at me now...almost at ease... just popping into the kitchen in the morning, uncharacteristically and strangely excited to see her...

...hello, Charlotte... top of the mornin' to you and even flashing her a little smile.

...she's so cute...ain't she sweet (say it like Paula Deen, ya'll, and ya really got somethin' goin'on)

...by all appearances, Charlotte seems to have grown on me, I'm totally un-phased...

 Yo, G, SNAP OUT OF IT! 

phew, that was close.

happy wednesday, AMERICA!

ARE YOU doing YOUR FAIR SHARE of MAKING it that way?

Make it a Good Day, G


Love that president of ours talking about paying our fair share of taxes lately, don't you?  Catch this from out of Sydney...it's a small world after all....

The AP has done some fact checking.  About 1% of our Wage Earners are considered millionaires -- comes to about 230,000; data shows less than 1,500 of those millionaires did NOT pay their fair share, or any taxes at all.  Having said that, the top 10% pay 70% of the Federal Tax burden -- while the bottom 47% actually pay NOTHING.  If you are one of the 228,500 millionaires who pay the federal tax rate per the IRS schedule, you pay 29.1%; if you are a wage earner making between $50,000 and $75,000 dollars, you pay at a rate of 15%.

If Warren Buffett were to take a salary, he would (rightly so) be paying his fair share according to the tax code; but he chooses to not to.

Last Thing:

WE are talking about MONEY earned -- with blood, sweat and tears of our own doing.

"A wise and frugal government, 

which shall leave men free 

to regulate their own pursuits 

of industry and improvement, 

and shall not take 

from the mouth of labor 

the bread it has earned -- 

this is the sum of good government."  

Thomas Jefferson

and for a great mocking of just how does our garden grow:

"Government's view 

of the economy 

could be summed up in a few short phrases: 

If it moves, tax it.  

If it keeps moving, regulate it.  

And if it stops moving, subsidize it."  

Ronald Reagan

Dear America,

Happy Birthday my dear Constitution!

How old are you now? 222 years.

How have you been able to keep it together all this time?
Reality is,
not well.

Although on life support, the Constitution of the United States is the shortest and oldest written constitution in the world; and even though it proceeded to take a while longer to become fully ratified, it was on this day, September 17, 1787, in Philadelphia, where 39 of the 55 delegates gave birth to the Law of the Land, safely securing America's future, so we thought.

I say 'gave birth' but heavens to Jefferson don't misrepresent the true meaning of my words; don't align me with all that's going on with the modern day molestation of the Word; don't confuse me with the Hillary's, Roosevelt's or Woody Wilson's; don't think for a minute I want a part of the new age progressives movement hailing the deconstruction of our "living constitution" in order to mold her, influence her and shape into who we want her to be, at the whim of who's in charge.


On this day 222 years ago we gave birth to the very foundation of one nation under God and firmly under Law; as defined in being a REPUBLIC, not a Democracy where majority rules. A new nation embodying a foundation steadfast on principle and firm in faith; grounded in the same soil of those who died fighting for the personal freedoms we cherish today; grounded in the same soil that allowed for all citizens to worship however they wanted, or not; while in the very same breath gave the rights of the individual man to create and hold accountable a duty to himself and country over and above the rights of an overzealous government.


All was well and good for a very long time; for nearly 150 years it was unchanged, unprovoked, unscathed and understood -- understood at the very core of its construction. It was to limit government, protect citizens, and allow for the country to grow from individual responsibility, faith and self reliance in order to create a more perfect union from one generation to the next.


It was simple.

It didn't take 1000 pages -- HR3200, or even 230 pages -- as in the Baucus Health Care Bill, it was FOUR.

James Madison is noted liberally as being "the father" of our Constitution; with influences from Jefferson, Adams, the thinkers of our life and times, he carried the duty of expanding the integrity of the Articles of Confederation into what became our national law of governing under the Constitution; a daunting task, how did he do it?


And if we had to do it today, what are our chances under the mismanagement of blowhards and ego-centric idiots?

Clearly Madison was a man of deep conviction and purpose....along with such a command of the English language, be it found within the body of the Constitution itself or in conversation, the man articulated greatness in every word he chose:

"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood."

"In Republics, the great danger is, that the majority may not sufficiently respect the rights of the minority."

"Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government."

"Commercial shackles are generally unjust, oppressive, and impolitic."

"By rendering the labor of one, the property of the other, they cherish pride, luxury, and vanity on one side; on the other, vice and servility, or hatred and revolt."

"...objects of benevolence...If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an infinite one, subject to particular exceptions."

Yes, all out of the mouth of Madison.

It makes me giddy reading this sort of stuff, as this is the stuff I was made (and you were too).

Allow me to add commentary as it pertains to my last quote from Madison, as found in the Patriot Post 9/3/09:

"Today more than two-thirds of the Federal Budget is spent
on 'objects of benevolence,' for which there is no constitutional
authority. Put another way, much of your income is being confiscated and
redistributed unconstitutionally."

We have to get over ourselves people and realize what is at stake hear-ye-here in the 21st century. Our society will become all undone if we allow the very basis of our freedoms and personal liberties to dissipate under the guise of protection by a government who doesn't know better, or worse, who does.Taxation. Entitlements. Take Over of Free Enterprise and Free People. Regulation and Mandates. Modern day Slavery. Is this the way of the future? Is this what our founding fathers had in mind?

I think not.

Mark Levin writes in his book Liberty and Tyranny:

"The Conservative urges an economic environment stripped of debilitating
regulations and taxes that hinder the performance and competition of
American industry. However...the Statist's heavy hand rather than the free market's invisible hand, they are obstructed and burdened in ways that are
counter intuitive and self-defeating. Ultimately, it is an unworkable
formula, as the rest of the world is not obliged to adhere to it but rather
will look for ways to exploit it."

So here we are 222 years later with the founding fathers worse fears coming true.

So much to do, so little time.
