INDEPENDENCE II, Withdrawal of Consent!

When in the course of human events it has become clear to all, that survival of our Republic, our Constitution, and our Individual Liberties are now threatened by the actions our own rogue government, it is time for We the People to rightfully and lawfully withdraw our consent to be governed by this body of men and women of the 111th Congress.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. 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.

— Such has been the patient sufferance of the 300 million citizens of our 50 Sovereign States; and such is now the necessity which constrains us to reclaim our Founding Principles of Government. The history of the present 111th Congress is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over the People and Their States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

The 111th Congress has refused to listen to the People and has voted without authority, consent or public approval on a 2,000 page “Healthcare Bill” which no citizen has had the right to see or opportunity to read before it was voted on.

The Congress continues without consent or authority to spend trillions of dollars that it does not have on projects that are intended to benefit people and organizations of special interest to the Congress and of no necessity or benefit to the People.

This Healthcare legislation deliberately and unconstitutionally discriminates among States by favoring some States with special privileges denied to others.

The passage of this Healthcare legislation will impose massive new taxes, self-empower the Congress with new authority to force the People to comply by mandate with enforcement through threat of fines and imprisonment.

This Healthcare legislation, deliberately and unconstitutionally discriminates among citizens, favoring some with special privileges while penalizing or denying others, on the basis of race, wealth and type of trade, as well as other arbitrary and capricious reasons.
Indeed the governing class of men and women of this Congress is exempt from the very laws they themselves are imposing on the governed.

The passage of this Healthcare legislation will cause great harm to the quality of healthcare, ration the availability of medical treatments, medications and procedures to the Citizen, and destroy the private insurance business.

This Healthcare legislation will result in the loss of Individual Liberty, and affect our God given right to control our own Lives and pursue Happiness as each of us Individually see fit.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our elected brethren. We have warned them repeatedly of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances, that they only rightfully govern, by our consent. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the People of the united States of America, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these States solemnly publish and declare, That these united States are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to obey the 111th Congress, and that all political connection between them and the rogue Congress is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.

— And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

STOP THE "MODERATE" LOVE AFFAIR!

It's time the word "moderate" get a negative connotation.

In the politically correct world, moderation has been portrayed as a sign of wisdom, a sign of compassion, of tolerance and understanding.
And with Republicans always getting such a bad rap. Is it any wonder that we "just want to be loved!… is that so wrong?"

Answer: YES! You're job is not to be loved, it's to be respected. It's to stand for your core beliefs what ever they happen to be.

The stark reality in life is that you will never please everyone.
You will never have everybody love you.
You will never have everybody agree with you.
Politicians who try to curry favor via poll pandering raise the red flag, of a sure fire sign that they don't belong in the Republican party.

My mother always said "compromises get no standing ovations."

Indeed moderation is nothing more than weakness of character.

A core value is a wholly polarized principle. It has everything to do with certainty, and is the anthesis of moderation.

Are you moderately against rape? If so where is your compromise point?
Are you moderately opposed to domestic violence? If so, what would be moderately reasonable? Should anything up to a mild beating be acceeptable?
Are you moderately committed to protect your children against harm and danger?
Are you moderately faithful to your family?
Are you moderately committed to follow and safeguard the Constitution?

The Republican party is in desperate need of culling the RINOs from it's flock.

The Republican party must unabashedly govern and lead with the certainty of it's Republican principles and core Constitutional values.

Since the beginning of time, history has proven unequivocally that:
The strong survive. The moderate and the weak don't.

Healthcare Bill compared to other literary works

Let's put Nancy Pelosi's 1,990 page Healthcare bill side by side with other famous works:

The Bill of Rights:

1 handwritten page. A total of 482 words.

The United States Constitution:

4 handwritten pages.

Mao Tse Tung's "Little Red Book": 312 Pages

The Koran: 467 Pages.

The Holy Bible: 608 Pages

Adolph Hitler's Mein Kampf: 720 Pages

The Russian Provisional Revolutionary Government, 1917: Documents. 3 volumes: 1,841 pages.

Obama Healthcare Bill: 1,990 Pages.

Author: Nancy Pelosi,( with special thanks to Harry Reid, Obama and the Democrats of the 111th Congress)

On a private note, my own healthcare insurer (Emblem Health) sends me a booklet describing my healthcare plan every year. The complete benefits manual, detailing all my benefits, costs, deductibles, co-pays, prescriptions and legal fine print: 50 pages.
Author: Emblem Health (evil private insurance company whose plan I use and love!)

So as inquiring minds ask questions, I'd like to understand, why does it take Congress 1,990 pages to do describe a healthcare plan, when my insurance company can describe my plan in 50 pages? Or put differently, If a healthcare plan can be detailed in 50 pages, what is lurking in the remaining 1,910 pages of this bill?

Until Congress can come up with a Healthcare proposal that can be described in 50 pages or less, I will hold on to and hone my First and Second Amendment rights in particular, and demand that our unruly servants keep their laws off my body.
You may want to speak up and do the same.

"The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite ."
-Thomas Jefferson

President Obama, I sincerely thank you!

My fellow Americans,

I’d like to confess, that I’ve had a change of heart regarding President Obama.

I would like to thank Americans for electing Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States and for now, even overlook his questionable constitutional eligibility.

I hope you will stand with me and support our President and his aggressive policies.

Mostly, I am grateful to President Obama for his radical fascist agenda and affinity for ignoring, usurping and actively working to destroy the United States of America and the Constitution upon which it was founded.

Had Barack Obama not come in to our lives and enlightened us all with his manifesto, we would still be too busy to pay much attention to the daily activities of our government.

Thanks to this President we have rediscovered America’s founding principles. We have rediscovered the Constitution. We have read it and even re-read it and given out pocket copies to our friends and neighbors.

It’s thanks to the talents of President Obama’s community organizing expertise, that we have discovered that we too can speak up and speak out. Protesting is now no longer the sole dominion of the radical left. We are no longer the silent disenfranchised majority.

Normal, usually too busy and generally silent, everyday Americans are now finding the time to go to Town Halls and speak their minds and discipline their public servants.

President Obama’s contribution to our new-found empowerment is still being written and will be immortalized someday for all, by historians.

But already in a mere 7 months in office, he has successfully brought us together through his desire for socialized healthcare. Town Halls are now more popular than ever. People are sharing their passion against Cap and Trade, deficit spending and high taxes!

And even in the height of the lazy, hazy days of August when nothing is news worthy nor gets done, the visionary Obama seized the moment to surprise us yet again, with the exciting celebration of China’s 60th anniversary of the Communist revolution. He will fly China’s commie flag over our White House on Sept 20th!

But just when you thought he couldn’t possibly outdo himself any further, he treats us to another incredible blessing:

A special National Address to share his wisdom to our children as they head back to school. Not to worry, educators will be more than eager to explain any subtleties that may have escaped the kids.

How exciting and selfless it is indeed for this President to open the door for us to be able talk to our local school administrators!

Thanks to our newly honed Town Hall community activism skills, our school principals will surely be greeted with all the spirited engagement we have already bestowed on our elected servants.

So, thank you Mr. President for making us stronger and teaching us to stand up for our selves.

You are indeed “the one we’ve been waiting for.”

Hope and Change is finally coming!

Kennedycare RIP

With the passing of Ted Kennedy (may he rest in peace) the Dems are going to try and repackage the rotting carcass of Obamacare and give it a shinny new "Weekend at Bernie's" look with Kennedycare!

America don't be fooled. We must not let up the fight.

It's time for Ted Kennedy's life dream of socialized medicine to rest in peace once a for all. It is only fitting and respectful to give Kennedycare a proper funeral by driving it off the bridge at Chappaquiddick‎.

And if the Dems live up to our expectations, they will help motivate us by shamelessly exploiting the tragic cancer death of Mr Kennedy for political gain just as they did at the Paul Wellstone memorial.

Why can't Obama and a Democrat Supermajority carry out their socialist agenda?

The Facts:
The messianic President Obama and a Democrat Congress have on paper to pass any legislation they want. Republicans can stay home as they are powerless.
Common sense concludes the socialist health care takeover should be an inevitable fait-accompli. Yet it has not yet come to pass. Furthermore, it seems the Democrat socialist speed train is coming off the tracks.

The Reality:
What has happened? The answer is staring us all in the mirror. YOU ARE THE ANSWER. We are the reason that Obamunism and a supermajority Democrat Congress has been unable to ram the poison pill of socialized medicine down our throats. WE THE PEOPLE, have been protesting at every opportunity. It's not the Republicans, the RINOS, it's not even the majority Democrats who will fight for us. It's each and everyone of us pulling our selves up from our boot straps that have taken up the opposition. It's the enraged citizen. YOU are having an effect. You the American citizen have derailed the plan. Simple old fashioned American grassroots protests are working. We need keep up the pressure and ramp it up some more and revolt. If we lose our country and you didn't become active and speak out, yell or rip into your Congresscritter with a letter you will have no else than yourself to blame.
Remember our government derives it power solely by the "consent of the governed".

Silent no more!

Government healthcare: Cash for Senior Clunkers!

When it comes to Government run healthcare we can all agree health care is expensive. And if the government runs the show, it will have to find ways of controlling the monumental costs involved.

Ever mindful of never spending two or three trillion dollars more than necessary, President Obama quickly recognized that there exists great untapped opportunities for the government to streamline wasteful spending on needless medical tests and procedures. In one example President Obama responding to a question about providing healthcare to the elderly, said “end of life care” is one area where we might be able to really save. Perhaps “it might be better to just give her the “pain medication than the costly procedure”.

The chosen one’s logic is undeniable. Currently seniors are the biggest burden to private healthcare providers as they are constantly going to the doctor for one problem or the other. If government were to foot the bill under Nationalize Healthcare then we would all have to bare the heavy burden for the mounting medical expenditures of these old unproductive retirees, (who by the way are sucking the social security system dry as they keep on living despite their usefulness having long ago expired.) Yes conceivably Gramps could help out in a pinch, babysitting the kids while you’re out organizing the current week’s Acorn meeting, but that doesn’t justify the cost of keeping the old clunker going! And I won’t even get into the issue of liability or that he is undermining the local BUWA, Babysitter Union Workers of America with his free services.

It would be indeed much more cost effective to provide healthcare to all Americans based on their usefulness to the greater good. The young, the healthy, the employed and productive middle aged citizens paying in to the system should be entitled the best health care government will allow, within reason, of course.

Workers in green jobs, or those help the downtrodden through community activism could get extra health credits for good social responsible behavior.

The wealthy should pay a surcharge so they can pay their fair share, while badge wearing official government “End of Life Counselors” as proposed by our great leader Obama, should help Gramps understand that he had a pretty good run, but it’s time to come to grips with the fact that he needs to let go, as he is going to eventually to die whether he gets the costly pacemaker or not. Another year or two of life at his age is not going really help him in the end, but performing a costly procedure on someone with such a limited lifespan is plainly a poor use of taxpayer money and yields a poor return on life-investment expenditures. Needless costly procedures for the elderly really put a heavy financial burden on the rest of us. So for the greater good, Gramps, take two morphine, and we’ll call the morgue in the morning.

Also there is great promise for rest of us with diminishing returns. Soon we may be able to "opt-in" (voluntarily of course) to an "early end of life incentive program" where the Government gets to give you a tax credit for choosing an early exit, sparing all us the expense of you becoming a future burden.

That’s the hope and change we’re all talking about, right?
