Time For the States to MAN UP

The United States that was founded in the last decades of the 18th century is no more.
The evidence of this is clear in the actions of the last three administrations and the house and senate that have ruled in the past few years.
They no longer represent us, the people that elected them. They have become detached and beholden to the powers that granted them the vast amounts of money they need to get elected. They are beholden to the parties that refuse to fund in their reelection campaigns if they vote with their constituents and against the current party line.

The idea of having representatives meet in Washington was intended by our founders to bring the voice of the common man to the halls of a government. They knew that when they returned home, their neighbors would hold them accountable. This way the common man had a voice in every level of government.
The idea of having two senators from every state was to give the states a say in the federal government. This is no longer so. The states have lost their voice in Washington. The 17th amendment was passed by the progressives in the early 20th century in order to strip the states of any say and to build a stronger central government. The states have been stripped of their sovereignty.

Our government has become a bloated blundering drunken doomed dinosaur. It is headed for extinction. It is not sustainable. And it will take the American people down with it unless the people and the individual states intercede. It is time for an intervention. It's time to stop enabling the alcoholic.

First thing the states need to do is stop taking federal money. It won't be easy, because it is a lot of candy. But they must wean themselves off of it. It is the states that should be granting funding to the Federal government, not the reverse.

Secondly, the States need to call for an amendment to the US Constitution that repeals the 17th amendment. If congress refuses to submit this amendment, the States have a power that has never been used. Two thirds of the States can call for a constitutional convention to proposes this amendment. This way the State legislatures can once again send their own senators to the senate and it will once again represent the states that sent them.

Term limits for all members of congress must be administered. It is clear that the spirit of the founders idea that we could send common people to Washington to be the voice of their neighbors has become a farce. Instead, professional politicians find a seat and won't move out of it, enjoying the perks and benefits too much.

Capitol Hill should be under lock and key for 11 months of the year. In the case of a true national emergency, congress may be recalled for a brief gathering, but otherwise, all voting should be done from the Congressman's office in his own district. With electronic technology and the internet and satellites, there is little reason to be so far away from the home districts anymore. Four weeks out of the year, congress may meet on Capital Hill. This will help ensure that lobbyists have a harder time bribing our representatives, and it might break up the "good 'ol boy" network.

Government Intervention: It's Good for Everyone

No Accident

I am beginning to think our nation is being run by nutty Marxist college professors and their nutty Marxist college pupils. How can so many of the people picked by the President be so far left? If I hear another person say that he just isn't "Vetting" these people good enough, I am gonna pass out. Our President WANTS these people to work for him. The traits that we American people find unacceptable in these people is Exactly what the White House liked about them.
How else can we explain it?
Anita Dunn told a gathering of college kids that Mao Tse-Tung was one of her favorite philosophers. In fact, he is one of two that she TURNS TO MOST! Only thing wrong with that is that he killed more people than Hitler did.
Van Jones resigned without shame or consequence when it was learned he was a committed communist and thought the US Government orchestrated 9/11.
Science Czar John Holdren once considered putting sterilents into our drinking water. He also advocated Forced abortions.
Cass Sunstein, the regulatory Czar is on record saying the U.S. should move in the direction of socialism (except we are too racist for it). He also thinks animals have legal rights to sue humans.
What kind of safe schools Czar thinks anyone involved in NAMBLA is worthy of praise as he has said, and ignores statutory rape?

GE Selling Obama's Network to Comcast?

From LA Times:

Comcast, the nation's largest cable operator with almost 25 million subscribers, has been looking to increase its content holdings for several years. In NBC Universal it would get its hands on not only a big broadcast network and movie studio, but also several powerful cable channels, including USA, Syfy, CNBC, MSNBC and Bravo.

That would be incredible. My guess is that the FCC would never allow it. Could you imagine a conservative leaning Comcast CEO John Malone allowing MSNBC and CNBC to continue down their path of fringe left wing rhetoric and President Obama worshipfulness? My guess is that moonbat commentators like Kieth Oberman and Rachel Maddow would be fired based on their plummeting ratings while other News networks commentators such as O'Reilly and Beck have only themselves to battle it out with ratings wise. I think an owner with an eye for making money would probably clean house at NBC news and restore at least the appearance of journalism to the newsroom.

Moonbats Indoctrinating Children

Now I don't blame President Obama directly for the work of these moonbats, but I do think this is a symptom of how far his followers are willing to go to indoctrinate our children . I don't expect to see this kind of behavior discouraged by the elitists in charge either

Racism Rears it's Ugly head

The debate is over.

Once the leftist wingnuts run out of meaningful debate, when their arguments are shot down by logic and the debate is going against a good loyal progressive partisan, they turn their little book of debate to the page that directs the loser to attribute the opponents logical argument to be rooted in racism.

The healthcare debate is over.

The race card has been played. The left has officially lost the debate. There can no longer be any meaningful discussion.

Sadly, it is the left that has managed to put each person into a little platoon based on that person's race, gender, social class, and sexual identity. That person is not permitted to step outside of their platoon lest they be chastised by the left and called an Uncle Tom, or a Race traitor.

But they are not racists. Oh nooo. They are champions of "equality". Instead, it is the people like me and you who do not see any distinctions and wish to treat everyone equally. Somehow, they expect us to cower to the label racist.

I am not a racist.

Calling me a racist for not supporting these attacks on our freedom and liberty are proof that your logic has been exhausted and your argument has been shredded.

Ronald Reagan speaks from the Grave about Nationalized Healthcare

Please note his parting comment:

And if you don’t do this and if I don’t do it, one of these days you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children, what it once was like in America when men were free.

Here is an actual Congressman speaking with common sense:


I want you to know that if you are for a government healthcare bill your position is insulting to freedom and liberty. I would ask you why you want to live on Uncle Sam's plantation instead of as a free individual?
You don't want to pay to visit a doctor? What? Why not? So you want it handed to you free. Grow up. That's what is making health "insurance" so expensive. What people are calling insurance is really a healthcare plan. The point of insurance is to protect you against unlikely but damaging events. You are generally happy to pay premiums in all the years that nothing goes wrong (your house doesn’t burn down), because in exchange your insurer promises to be there in the one year that things do go wrong (your house burns down). That's insurance. You don't want insurance. You want free stuff. Try that with your auto insurance. Imagine having your homeowner's insurance paying for new electrical lines to prevent future hazards. Insurance does not do that, YOU do. You pay for your own oil changes, you pay for your doctors visits for routine medical care. That's insurance. Try to find some REAL health insurance, something that covers you in a real emergency, but not every aspirin you are to take. Then go ahead and choose a decent deductable and there you go, you more than likely have insurance for less than $200.00 a month in Ohio for a midle aged couple, and in Massachusetts it would be under $700.00 a month. Yes, Massachusetts has regulated their insurance companies to the point where insurance is far more expensive there than in other state. They now have the most expensive health insurance premiums in the country.... Thanks to their recent adoption of Statewide Healthcare reform that includes a "public option" for those that can't afford "insurance".

Show me one industry that the US Government has run efficiently and without bankrupting that same enterprise over a course of a few years? Just ONE.
If you recall the House Bank Checking Scandal, Congressmen haven't even shown us the ability to balance their own checking accounts, let alone run any enterprise more efficiently than free individuals endowed with the liberty to make a profit for their labor.
