We elect the government. It works for us. As we watch the Democrats’ plans for health care take shape, we can only ask how did our government get so removed, so unbridled, so arrogant that it can tell us how to live our personal lives?
Suppose President Obama expressed disapproval with the Vatican’s method of electing the Pope. It’s not democratic enough, the president says. Why should a small group of Catholic cardinals be the only voters? Why shouldn’t all Catholics get to vote for the Pope? Isn’t that what democracy is all about?
Obama demands that the Vatican open the vote to all Catholics. The Vatican responds that its method of electing the Pope is none of the U.S. government’s business. Butt out, the Pope tells Obama.
Maybe now the Left will wake up—now that it’s too late.
Operation Housecall, National Anthem
Capitol Steps Thursday, November 5th, 2009
But is America still a Free and Sovereign Nation where courageous men and women fought for the right of free speech, the press, worship, the right to keep and bear arms and real freedom?
Do we still teach our children about men like Patrick Henry who said “Give me Liberty or Give me Death?”
What does Veterans Day mean to you?
It’s already starting. People are talking about potential Republican candidates for 2012 and Ron Paul is being ignored and smeared.
Look at this article from Andrew Malcom of the LATimes blog.
Hundreds of supporters from all over the Southeast turned out Monday night, Nov. 9, to hear Ron Paul give a lecture at the Carolina Coliseum. The conservative Texas congressman, who ran unsuccessfully for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2008, spoke for nearly an hour. The event was sponsored by USC’s Honors College and the Carolina Debate Union, among other groups.
Paul’s speech, titled “The Politics of Tolerance,” came just weeks after South Carolina’s senior Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham told a town hall group that he would not let Paul “hijack” the Republican Party.

When the Founding Fathers came together to craft the Constitution, they brought with them many ideas in which America would be set apart from other nations. First and foremost, the power would reside in the people and not an all powerful king or all powerful government.
The government was divided into three branches so that power could be shared. In addition, the Founding Fathers believed in the notion of a “citizen legislator.” The idea of a “career politician” was foreign to them. People were lawyers, or craftsmen, or farmers. They did not make a “living” from politics. As we have seen over the years, regardless of what party is in power… power corrupts. It’s time to get rid of the career politician and bring back the citizen legislator. And… there is only one way to do this: a constitutional amendment.
We have seen it time and time again. Someone gets elected with grand plans to help their district, or state, or nation. They go to Washington, DC to do a job, and then they never want to leave. They become part of the system, and the goal then becomes to get reelected for the sake of holding office, not doing the job they were elected to do.
“Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.” –Alexis de Tocqueville
American’s tragic flaw is our unbridled fairness. That inherent fairness has been corrupted by the cancer of political correctness to the point we put our selves at risk rather than create even the perception of prejudice.
Defining terrorism to satisfy government needs
Killing one Story is an act of terrorism, but the Fort Hood killings of 13 aren’t? Story What a bunch of BS. The media, DHS, Obama and the whole bunch are nothing more than story tellers with much of the wording designed to manipulate your thinking to satisfy their wants. Gone are the days when the media reported and we the public decided. Completely DISGUSTING!
– Pelosi “puppets” stab gun owners in the back
It would have been nice if we were celebrating victory on ObamaCare today — and could turn our attention to other issues.
This was not to be, however, thanks to House Democrats who campaigned as “moderates,” but in the end, danced at the end of Nancy Pelosi’s strings.
As part of Campaign For Liberty’s Operation Health Freedom series, bestselling author Tom Woods gives a historian’s perspective on the health care debate.
Unfazed by the damage caused to our nation by out-of-control spending, President Barack Obama and the Democrats in the US House of Representatives passed a massive, trillion-dollar government-run healthcare revamp bill.
“Tough road ahead in Senate for health care bill” is an AP story about the 1,990-page, $1.2 trillion legislation for a government take over of our healthcare system. To pay for the expansion of coverage, the bill cuts Medicare’s spending for seniors by more than $400 billion and imposes a growth-killing tax on our nation’s job producers.
He hates it when we call him “cheese head.” Forty something year old white male, Hustusa has been following the Tea Party Express tour across America.
He wears a triangle hat shaped like the cheese head hats wore by Green Bay Packers football team fans. Hustusa’s hat reads “I didn’t vote for this Obamanation” on all three sides. He also carries a tall sign and sells buttons at every rally. A general contractor by trade, Hustusa said his phone stopped ringing the day after Obama was elected. He lost his home earlier this year.
The President signed a bill into law just before Halloween, an appropriate date for this law. The expanded federal hate crimes law, hailed by supporters as the first major federal gay rights legislation, was added to a $680 billion defense authorization bill because if offered up on its own merits the bill would have never made it past the Senate.
Back in the spring when the bill was being debated in the house, Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) admitted that this so-called “hate crimes” bill will protect the 30 mostly bizarre sexual orientations listed by the American Psychiatric Association…including the one championed by Obama’s own “Safe Schools Czar”, pedophilia.
You think I’m adding words to his mouth? You think I’m spreading hackneyed right-wing slippery slope nonsense? Here is Hastings’ transcript from the Congressional Record, April 29, 2009:
While U.S. officials celebrate the 20th anniversary of the demise of the Soviet Union, they simultaneously celebrate their post-9/11 power to arrest people anywhere in the world without a warrant, kidnap them, transport them to overseas prisons for indefinite incarceration, deny them due process of law, torture them, and execute them, perhaps after a kangaroo show trial.
How’s that for irony?
In one of his final acts as president, James Madison did something almost unthinkable by modern standards: he vetoed a bill solely on Constitutional grounds.
President Madison agreed that it made sense to use federal funds for the construction or upgrade of vital roadways and canals within the states. But the Internal Improvements bill of 1817 was contradicted by a higher law, namely the absence of a concomitant enumerated power in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution.
As Washington continues debating healthcare reform the rest of the country is primarily concerned about jobs and the economy. It is still uncertain what policies will be implemented, but I am certain about one thing: It will only further devastate our economy and our dollar.
Tomorrow is Veterans Day, commemorating our men and women who fought (and died) to keep this country free under the Constitution and Bill of Rights established by our Founding Fathers.
On November 4, 2008, Barack Hussein Obama was elected to the office of president of the United States. The evidence grows that Obama is not an American citizen, was not eligible to the office he holds, should never have been allowed on the ballot in any of the 50 states.
