Great government we have!

A sad day it is indeed today. We have moved to a full blown socialist nation when the United States House of Representatives can pass a bill that is so blatantly unconstitutional and there is virtually no outcry from the public at large.

On 19 March 2009 the United States of American has successfully traversed a path that Karl Marx would be proud of indeed. The Progressives in the country have finally gotten what they wanted and did not get with William Jefferson Clinton… a full blown Marxist in the White House and control of congress. No intelligent, independent thinking, and non biased person can look at the H.R 1586 and not see the class warfare being fought by Washington.

First we allow our Representatives (not leaders) to print money that has no value in order to bail out companies that are “too large to fail”, effectively transferring ownership to the government. Then we allow them to do the same thing with the largest of the banks, so now they not only control the corrupt “central bank” but also the banks that hold the wealth of the nation. And now we see them execute Act II of their path to Marxism… the encouragement of class warfare. How better to rile the ignorant electorate than to give tax payer dollars to effectively buy these companies, and in fact intentionally inserting an affirmative provision allowing these very bonuses, then feigning outrage when these bonuses are paid out.
HOW COULD AIG!! They are paying out hundreds of millions of dollars of tax payers money and we, your trusty LEADERS will not have it!!! You see what greedy rich people do to you poor poor little people? But don’t worry because Uncle Sam is here to help… GIVE ME A BREAK!

The government of the United States is doing the same thing with business that they did with many people in our society.
First step: tell the people that they are victims and that their failures are not their own but Uncle Sam is here for you.
Second step: Place the people in financial bondage, make them dependent on the government for food stamps, welfare, social security, etc, etc, etc.
Third step: do whatever the hell you want as there are none left that don’t depend on you for sustenance.

This is what they have done in a few short years with business! Encourage and then force banks to write bad paper, back it with Fanny and Freddy. Let Allen Greenspan artificially deflate interest rates allowing renters to buy and buyers to over buy (thanks for that George!). Banks AND BORROWERS get greedy, make and take loans they know are not sustainable long term. Then when the LONG TERM practice of credit default swaps crashes at the burst of the housing bubble, sweep in take control of the banks and other institutions (AIG) and who will oppose you?

The people are enslaved because you control their sustenance, those that are not dependent on you for sustenance are scared to death that you will take the wealth that they have left, as you control the banks that it rests in. And the rest of us are so few that we have no real ability to effect a change.

Bailing out any private institution was unconstitutional in the first place. Then the pass this bill that is a clear violation of Article 1 Section 9. This bill is two things, first it is Ex Post Facto and second it is a writ of attainder. Both of these are violations of the constitution and every member that voted for it should be dragged out into the street and shot!

For those of us who care about this country and what it used to stand for, WE MUST STAND UP! If we must take back this country at the point of a gun then so be it.

abuses and usurpations

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security”

I listen to a local radio talk show host, who I do not always agree with though he is a libertarian, who tells me that we should not resort to those measures of our founders until we are unable to speak freely… is this the correct mode of thought? Not if, but when our liberties have been totally eroded will we still be able to throw off the chains of despotism? Will our children? Is it fair that we as a generation screw up what so many have sacrifices so much for, and leave the burden of blood to our children?

I fear that our nation is lost. I fear that we are on the edge of a precipice, and any further our fall will be so great we will never recover. How much is enough? When do we no longer take the abuses and usurpations of our employees, our representatives, our government?

We just gave AIG, as you all know, an additional $35 Billion dollars. This takes their plunder of American tax payers to over $100 Billion dollars. The stock market is still correcting, this will be viewed by those on the hill as another “economic catastrophe” requiring another bail out package. Do we believe we can fight this one off? Add to this that neither presidential candidate has a clue about our economy or the cause of our situation.

I do not have the answers to many of the above questions. I struggle with the realities that we face, as I’m sure many of you do. I know not the appropriate course for correction, but I know that we must correct this situation and we must do it soon. Our nation is borrowing more and more money, printing money that is backed by nothing. Our representatives on the hill learn not from history, and are scurrying down the path of repetition.

If we allow this to continue we will have a further devalued dollar, our debt will rival our GDP and the United States of America will be owned by foreign governments and entities more than it is now. Please do not sit idly by and allow this to happen on our watch. Do not vote for the lesser of two evils, as I have done for decades. If all of the people who are not happy with either candidate would not vote for either candidate there would be a message so loud the world would hear it. Let them know we are not happy! If we can not elect a good independent candidate, vote for your mom, your sister, anyone but the two on the ticket.
May God help us once again save this great nation from tyranny.
