It Can Get Worse

Today at work I was discussing the reasons I will not support Barack Obama as our 44th President. A woman at the table told me that he hasn’t even taken office yet and that he can’t be any worse than George Bush.

I am of the opinion that George W. Bush has probably been the worst President I can recall during my lifetime, having done almost irreparable damage to our rights and liberties under the guise of a War on Terror.

According to Doug Thompson, of the Capital Hill Blue, George Bush is quoted as saying during a cabinet meeting, “I don’t give a goddamn. I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way…Stop throwing the Constitution in my face. It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”

While that quote is nearly impossible to verify, from his blatant disregard for the Constitution it would seem likely that he is capable of making that statement. Even if that is the case, I am not so naive to think that it is impossible for anyone to be worse.

Former President Ronald Reagan once said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”

Barack Obama’s victory only proves my point that the American people only want to vote for a candidate who makes them feel good, offering them grandiose promises that he has no authority to fulfill.

While this person at work may be right in stating that George Bush has been a terrible President, and that Barack Obama has yet to take office, that does not mean that for Obama to be a good President he must continue on in the path of ignoring the limitations placed upon his power by the Constitution. This trend of our elected officials ignoring the Constitution did not begin with George W. Bush, it goes back much further in our nations history. Both Democrats and Republicans are guilty of overstepping their authority for the supposed general welfare of the nation.

However, as Thomas Jefferson once said, “Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.” Alexander Hamilton went even further when he said, “No legislative act contrary to the Constitution can be valid. To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy (agent) is greater than his principal; that the servant is above the master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people; that men, acting by virtue of powers may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.”

Yet the American people have found no problem tolerating elected representatives who blatantly violate the Constitution and trample upon our rights and liberties. Former President Bill Clinton went so far as to say, “The purpose of government is to rein in the rights of the people.” That is a far cry from the premise stated in our Declaration of Independence, that governments our instituted among men to protect our rights. Yet people find no problem supporting people with these attitudes.

It is not only our Presidents who have blatantly thumbed their noses at the Constitution and our Bill of Rights, it has been the practice of the entire U.S. government to do so.

The Second Amendment to the Bill of Rights clearly defines our right to keep and bear arms. Yet former Attorney General Janet Reno is quoted as saying, “Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal.” This, coming from a member of the Department of Justice whose job it was to ensure our nations laws are upheld!

How did our nation get to the point where we the people enthusiastically endorse candidates whose position is in direct conflict with what the Constitution says in regards to their powers and authority?

Dr. Benjamin Rush may have given us a clue when he said, “Freedom can exist only in the society of knowledge. Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights.”

Benjamin Franklin also proclaimed, “A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.”

James Madison described our nations current state of affairs, over 220 years ago, “Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks — no form of government can render us secure. To suppose liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea. If there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men. So that we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them.”

Although, as my co-worker said, Barack Obama has yet to take office, his goals as our next president ought to make one pause and think, especially when one considers that Adolf Hitler once said something very similar to what Barack Obama believes, “Society’s needs come before the individual’s needs.”

If we as a nation wish to retain our God-given rights and liberties, we need to begin to pay much more attention to the affairs of our government, and how they are clearly overstepping their authority in the things they do. We need to remind them that we are the masters, and that they are the servants, or as Thomas Jefferson said, “What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance?”

I am often told by people that they just do not have the time to study the Constitution like I do, or that they are not as smart about these things as I am. I say rubbish to that nonsense! Alexander Hamilton once described me perfectly, “Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have is this. When I have a subject in mind. I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it… the effort which I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought.”

The principles upon which our nation was built, and our nations very survival as a republic are at stake. If the American people do not begin to learn their rights, and the powers that the Constitution grants their government, and do it very quickly, they will soon find that they have lost those rights for good.

Yes it is true that Barack Obama has yet to be sworn in, that he has not done a single thing as acting President of the United States, but his plans are nothing less than further violations of the Constitution, and the continuing erosion of our rights and liberties.

With each succeeding President this nation draws nearer to a dictatorship in which we will no longer have any freedom, that all our decisions will be made for us by our government. When that happens, when we are finally slaves to the entity which we instituted to protect our rights, what will we do then?

People assume that I oppose Barack Obama because he is black, or because he is a Democrat. Untrue, I would have opposed John McCain with equal fervor and I will oppose anyone who does not stand for the values that I seek in a President, honesty, virtue, and a steadfast desire to uphold the Constitution.

So America, are you going to continue on in ignorance and apathy, on the path that can only end in or nations ruin, or are you going to begin to demand that those whom you elect uphold the document that gives them the right to govern on your behalf? Your choice…

Neal’s Take On Election 2008

The Presidential election of 2008 is over and, as I suspected, Barack Obama will become our nations 44th President. According to the statistics, President-elect Obama won more than twice as many electoral votes than John McCain, and roughly 7.4 million more popular votes. In comparison to more recent elections, it was a pretty solid win for Senator Obama. However, I can’t say that it was that much of a surprise for me, not after seeing how people were mesmerized by his message of change. If you want my honest opinion, it was pretty scary seeing how people followed him around in complete adoration like he was some sort of modern day prophet.

Accordingly, during the course of the day at work I heard some interesting comments regarding the outcome of the election. While there were a few people who were dejected that John McCain had lost, the majority of them were immensely happy with the results. One young woman in particular was in a rather celebratory mood as she kept chanting Obama, Obama. Later that morning I asked her to give me one legitimate reason why she cast her vote for Barack Obama. She appeared to be deep in thought for a moment or two then said, “I don’t know” then walked off. A minute later she came back and said, “I voted for him because Hillary supported him.”

I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. This woman cast her vote for the next president of the United States because Hillary Clinton supported him. So, since she was a woman, and Hillary was a woman, whoever Hillary supported was whoever she would vote for. Is this woman incapable of formulating a decision on her own based upon logic, or is that too much to ask? It was at that moment that I realized that this nation is in far more trouble than I had previously imagined.

Before the election I had heard all kinds of reasons as to why people were going to vote for Barack Obama. Some said it was time a black man got elected, while others said that McCain is just a Bush clone and look what Bush has done to this country. While those may be poor reasons for voting for a candidate, they don’t even compare to how truly pathetic the reason this young woman gave me.

People supposedly voted for whomever they did because they felt that person was best qualified to lead our nation. During the campaign, much ado was given to the qualifications of both candidates. This was especially true in regards to the ads aimed at Barack Obama by the McCain campaign. We were constantly reminded that Senator Obama had only actually been in session in the Senate for one hundred something days, that due to his limited experience he was not qualified to lead.

Honestly, how long one has served in the Senate should make no difference as to whether or not that person is qualified to be president. After all George Washington never served as a Senator, did he? However, Washington strove for one of the characteristics that I feel is essential for anyone seeking my vote, “I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an Honest Man.”

The Constitution makes no mention of whether or not a person needs to have served a specific amount of time in either House of Congress before they are eligible to become president. It merely states, “No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.”

Although there were some questions raised as to whether Senator Obama met the natural born citizen requirement, let’s presume that he did. Therefore, according to the Constitution, he was fully eligible to run for president. It was up to the American people to decide whether or not he fulfilled what they thought were the requirements for president, and that is where I maintain some serious questions about Senator Obama’s qualifications.

When I cast my ballot for president I look for a few qualities in a candidate. First off, I try to live up to the admonition of Samuel Adams, “He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of this country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man.”

Secondly, I seek a candidate who, by his actions, has proven that he will uphold the Constitution of the United States. Our Constitution is not just some document occupying space in the National Archives, it is the foundation from which our government derives its power. It is therefore important that we heed the warning of George Washington, “Let the reins of government then be braced and held with a steady hand, and every violation of the constitution be reprehended. If defective, let it be amended, but not suffered to be trampled upon whilst it has an existence.”

This is where I find myself disagreeing most with Senator, or should I say President-elect, Obama. The platform upon which he ran consists, for the most part, of things that the Constitution just does not grant our government the authority to do. It mattes not that the people voted for him based upon his promise to do these things, he just doesn’t have the authority to do them. For him to attempt to enact these programs would be to violate the Constitution which, the last time I checked, happens to be the Supreme Law of the Land.

What I find most disturbing about the election of Barack Obama is this, it is the fact that the people of this country are totally ignorant as to what powers the Constitution grants our government, or they just don’t care and they want someone who will violate it so long as it benefits them personally. What good is a Constitution if the people don’t care what it says and those whom they elect don’t care to govern according to its limitations upon their powers?

Unfortunately that puts those of us who seek a government that is run according to the Constitution in a bit of a predicament. George Washington said, “The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and, whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will be recalled.” But what are we to do when the majority of the people do not want to recall their representatives because they are content to let them trample upon the Constitution? Daniel Webster may have offered us a clue when he said, “The inherent right in the people to reform their government, I do not deny; and they have another right, and that is to resist unconstitutional laws without overturning the government.”

Webster’s advice may have sound legal standing, but in our country today that does not mean much when the government has the power, and the will to ruin your life if you do not abide by the laws they pass. It all depends upon whether or not you are willing to stand up for what you believe in and suffer the consequences for your stance.

From the promises made on the campaign trail, and by his scant record as a U.S. Senator, I have serious doubts as to whether Barack Obama has any desire to be restrained by the limitations of power imposed upon his newly acquired office by the Constitution. However, we need to remember that, as Patrick Henry clearly stated, “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government–lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.”

The programs that Barack Obama promised during his campaign are nowhere to be found within the specifically enumerated powers contained in the Constitution. They are much closer to what one would find in the Communist Manifesto. Yet the people of this country were more than willing to cast their votes for him and his socialistic programs.

So, when Senator Obama is sworn in as our 44th President, when he takes that oath of office to preserve and protect the Constitution, take a moment to ask yourself if he truly means it, or is he just doing it lip service? Could President Obama’s promise to uphold the Constitution be, just as Christ said in the book of Matthew, Chapter 15, verse 8, “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.”

As far as I am concerned, my candidate lost. Apparently he did not even get enough votes to be worth mentioning, not that I could find anyway. However, as far as I am concerned, Chuck Baldwin was the only one running for president who met my criteria. Therefore, although Barack Obama may be sworn in as our nations president in January, he will not have my respect or my support.

Barack Obama clearly does not have enough personal integrity and understanding of what are the duties of President of the United States as defined by the Constitution. Do not mistake this for bitterness because my candidate lost, it is a decision I made based upon facts.

Al Gore talks about global warming as an ‘inconvenient truth’. Here is my inconvenient truth, a good portion of the people in this country no longer have the desire to be self reliant or to think for themselves. It is far easier to base their decisions upon emotions and gut feelings, instead of research and knowledge. Otherwise they would still expect their elected representatives to uphold their oaths of office, as I do. People may ridicule me for my stance, but as Buddha once said, “Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good.”

I will continue to stand for what I believe in, no matter what it costs me to do so. I would rather retain my dignity and honor than support someone whose principles I despise. So, I will let the rest of this country rejoice in their victory, I just hope they will have something to rejoice about after four years of socialism in an Obama administration.

Bonus Article

My last article drew an interesting response, therefore I am writing a ‘bonus’ article to cover thoughts spawned by that response. In that persons response, he suggested that the reason people are not ‘rising up’ as we should because of all the infringements upon our Constitution is because of our standard of living. We are comfy, cozy, and therefore content. He has a point…however….

Although the extremely well to do have not been affected too much by this, the common working stiffs have been having trouble making ends meet for awhile now. Families were/are tightening their belts due to the rising cost of gas and the increase in the cost of goods associated with it. Yet still the majority of these people have faith that one of the two presidential candidates have the credentials and qualifications to turn things around. These people still have faith in their system of government to ‘fix’ things, however twisted and morphed from its original intent that system of government may have become. Maybe they have not reached to point at which they realize the system is broken and that they are the ones who need to fix things. Who knows, because I cannot speak for them?

Another, more important point is this. While your standard of living may be better; you may have a nice cozy house, an abundant supply of food to eat, a big screen TV, and all sorts of mindless television shows to keep you content, the question begs to be asked, are you free, I mean truly free and independent? I would have to answer with a resounding no!

California currently has a proposition on the ballot, Proposition 8, which would eliminate the right of same-sex-couples to marry by amending the state Constitution to read “only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”

I had a sign in my front yard supporting Proposition 8. It lasted two days and someone stole it, I came home from work one day and it was gone! Not only did someone commit petty theft and trespassing, but more importantly, they violated my first amendment right to freedom of speech.

What I had displayed was not offensive, it merely said, “Protect Traditional Marriage. Vote Yes on Prop 8″. I could have been crude and posted my own sign that said, “No way, No Gays, Yes on 8″, but I didn’t. Yet someone chose to infringe upon my right to free speech. (Hopefully the don’t do it again, or they just may find out about my second amendment right)

The theft of my sign was not a lone case. Others I know have had their signs stolen or vandalized as well. Just the other day the news reported that an entire city block had all the Barack Obama signs stolen from peoples yards. While I do not support Obama, these people have the right to advertise for whom they intend to vote.

This theft was along the lines of me going to someone’s house and stealing their car because I didn’t like the kind of music they play at 2 a.m. when they drive past my house. It is idiotic!

These were just a petty thefts, committed by people with small minds, who opposed the views being displayed. They were not earth shattering events, but it is still an example that political correctness is stifling our right to speak our minds.

The same thing is happening on a much larger scale to our right to worship, also protected by the first amendment. Slowly but surely, our courts have chipped away at our right to openly worship as we please. Because of the open, and very vocal push, by a few, the rights of the many are being taken away by a system of government that was put into place to defend those very rights.

People keep talking about this so called ‘wall of separation between church and state.’ The first amendment was written as it was, not to prevent people from openly worshipping, but to prevent the government from mandating which religious belief you held. There was to be no state run church. Think of that wall of separation much like a wall, or window, where both are free of influence by the other.

I find these people who say we cannot have prayer in schools, the Ten Commandments in our government buildings, or publicly displayed nativity scenes highly hypocritical. They say God is to be kept in our homes, out of sight from those who don’t believe in Him, yet they do not complain when the Catholic Church, particularly Cardinal Roger Mahoney, breach that wall and actively engage our politicians to support the rights of illegal aliens.

It is okay for them to remain silent when the church supports their agenda’s, as it did in the immigration debate, yet it if offensive when the church speaks out against abortion or gays.

Getting back to our freedom, some would argue that we are still a free nation because we can get in our cars and go pretty much anywhere we want, we can watch whatever television shows we want, and we can pretty much eat anything we want.

From that I would conclude that many people do not understand what it means to truly be free. I have never experienced freedom from government intrusion, yet I can imagine how nice it would be. I also am smart enough to know that it is something the does not exist today in this country.

People say we are free to travel wherever we want. Not so fast, using the definition that freedom means no government intrusion, are we really free to travel? We need a license to drive our vehicle, we are mandated to have automobile insurance, and those who ride motorcycles are mandated to wear a helmet, and in some places you pay a toll to use the roads. Is that freedom? Can you imagine in the olden days when a person would have required a license and insurance to ride his horse, or even a helmet?

We are not free to board an airplane without the proper identification and numerous searches of our persons or our belongings. Soon we will all be required to have a government mandated REAL ID, with government specified information about our persons contained therein. Failure to obtain this identification will mean we can no longer drive, hold a bank account, or enter a federal building. Yet we are still free?

People might say that they are free to work wherever they choose, as long as they have the requisite skills for the job they seek. Okay, try applying for a job and refuse to give your social security number, another government requirement. I bet you don’t get hired.

People may tell you that you have the right to live anywhere, as long as you can afford it. Maybe, maybe not. I own my own home, and I cannot do anything to improve upon it without first obtaining a building permit from my government, which by the way is not free. I wanted to build a pergola in my back yard to provide some shade for my bonsai trees during the hot summer months. It would have cost me $200 just to sink one post in concrete in my yard, regardless of whether the structure was attached to my home or not. Can you imagine the screeching halt to our nations westward expansion if all the settlers would have had to obtain building permits to build their homes?

Then there is the fact that many who own homes are mandated by governmental decree (law) to purchase flood insurance because they live in a high risk area for floods. Why don’t they just not build in flood prone areas? Then again New Orleans would have to up and relocate, wouldn’t it? Can’t have that, can we?

Another thing, a mans home is supposed to be his castle, isn’t that how the old saying goes? Yet I am prevented by law, (more government interference) form defending my home from intruders. If someone breaks into my home in the middle of the night, I cannot just shoot them. It matters not that I first would have to wake from a sound sleep, find my glasses, and then try to determine if this person meant me or my family harm before I could pull the trigger on my trusty shotgun. No people, we are not truly free in our homes either.

What about eating, we are free to eat whatever we want aren’t we? Does not the Bible say in Genesis 1:29-30, “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.” God did not require you to obtain a hunting or fishing license before you could go out and gather meat for your family, so why should our government?

No my friends, Americans are not a free people and we have not been for quite some time. The last truly free Americans were the settlers who moved westward. Sure they had to fight for their survival, but they were free. They were self reliant and their survival depended upon each and every one of their abilities to provide a home and sustenance for their families. There were no government subsidies to help them if they ran into hard times.

It is only when communities sprang up and governments were established, with rules and regulations regarding what they could and could not do, that they began to lose their freedom and their liberties.
People today rely upon their government for far too much. That is why the candidate with the most appealing promises usually wins. However, with those promises come another link in the chain that binds us as slaves to that government.
Our Declaration of Independence states that our rights come from God, and that governments are established to protect those rights. Former President Woodrow Wilson reaffirmed that when he said,“Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it.”

Yet we have allowed that very same government to trample upon our rights, and restrict our freedom. I have used this quote by Samuel Adams before, but never has it been more applicable than it is now, “If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains rest lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

America, creature comforts do not define your freedom. You could be locked in a prison cell with all the books, movies, television shows, food, and internet access your hearts desired, but you would still be a prisoner. So go ahead, continue to believe that you are a free people, but don’t complain when your remaining freedoms are taken from you, for by then it will be too late to resist.

How Will History Record Our Downfall?

The election is just over two weeks away, the campaign ads are intensifying, and the news media is devoting much of their time to the two candidates seeking to become the next president. Much of the attention on the campaign trail is now being devoted to the candidates differing plans to solve the ongoing meltdown of our nations economy, which coincidentally is due largely to the policies created by the body of government from which these two candidates come.

Unfortunately there is something much more serious going on, something that the candidates, the media, and the American people seem unwilling to address, the continuing erosion of the principles contained within the Constitution.

Whether you believe these violations of Constitutional limits upon our governments power and authority are intentional, as I do, or if you believe they just happened randomly, the truth is that they nevertheless are taking place on an almost daily basis.

Anyone who has taken the time to read the Constitution for themselves would have to be blind to not see that our government is exercising powers they are not authorized to exercise by the Constitution. Yet we are supposed to believe that both candidates for president intend to uphold their oaths of office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

I have come to the conclusion then that our Constitution is no longer in use, as far too many people have no clue as to what it says, and those who swear to uphold it are routinely thumbing their noses at it.

Authors Thomas Woods and Kevin Gutzman also seem to be of the opinion that our Constitution is dead, as they have written a book entitled, Who Killed The Constitution. In their book they conclude that just possibly it is a nature of Constitutions that they are doomed to fail because of the nature of power itself. They believe that it is natural for those who obtain places of power seek to expand their power and do everything they can to hold on to it.

Thomas Jefferson said the same thing over two hundred years ago, “Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.”

Maybe that is why Jefferson also said,“What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” Do not get me wrong, I am not attempting to incite people to take up arms. I am only offering my thoughts as to the state of affairs in this country at this point in time.

There are many who write that still believe we can change things at the ballot box by voting for good honest candidates who understand, and are willing to govern according to the Constitution. People, that just isn’t going to happen! Look at what happened with the Ron Paul campaign. While I supported Ron Paul wholeheartedly, his campaign was so offensive to those in control that he was destined to fail from the very beginning. The same thing goes with Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin.

There is no way that a few good candidates scattered here and there are going to change anything. The tentacles of corruption are spread too far and too wide for a few good men, and or women, to make a difference. No, the only thing that could turn the tide in this country is a complete purging of the system. We would need to remove every single elected official in our nations government if we had any hope of turning things around. Much like a doctor removes all the cancerous cells, we would need to remove every corrupt elected official in all branches of government. With the way the people of this country vote strictly upon party lines, because the other side is so much worse than their own, that will never happen.

The fact of the matter is that the Constitution is, in fact, dead. It is a relic of history, there to remind us of the failed great experiment in self governance. It will remind us of how our indifference to government allowed our servants to become our masters.

I have no clue as to what lies ahead for this country, I can only imagine. Will it be the One World Order as many are predicting? Who knows? I can tell you that in the immediate future it is going to get ugly, very ugly, here in this country. I do not think many people have any idea of what troubles lie on the horizon. I also don’t think enough people are prepared for it. I do know it is coming, and it cannot be stopped.

When it finally gets here, we will see what people are made of. When the chaos begins we will see where people go for help. If your faith lies, as it does with many, in your government to take care of you, then you are likely in for a rough time. However, if your faith lies elsewhere, you may be a bit more prepared for events when they do happen.

My only real question is this, how will the historians record the downfall of the United States of America?

The Revolution Will Not Be Organized


A friend recommended that I read the following poem. I found it interesting enough to post here for your consideration.

Neal

The revolution will not be organized,
the revolution will not be organized.com,
the revolution will not be Yahoo Grouped, Meetuped,
downloaded, uploaded, QWERTY’d, or blogged.

The revolution will not be handled by webmasters,
think-tankers, authors of policy position papers,
authors of anti-policy position papers,
secretaries, executives, executive assistants,
insiders, whistle-blowers, informants, counter-informants,
committees or sub-committees.

Your neighbor with excellent leadership qualities
will not lead you into, through, or out of the revolution.
The revolution will not be inspired, instigated, managed
or controlled by him, her, or them.
The revolution will not be organized.

No matter if you eat at McDonald’s and can barely walk,
no matter if you drive an S.U.V. and rarely walk,
no matter if you were public school indoctrinated,
vaccinated, humiliated, ostracized, terrorized, minimized,
no matter if you live in a house owned by BofA,
no matter if you eat cat food, dog food,
Puppy Chow for your inner child,
no matter if you shop at Salvation Army, Saks, TJ Maxx,
when the Cold Hand of Power touches you,
it touches revolution.

They will come to chip you, rape you,
tell you you are theirs, imprison you in FEMA camps
because you spoke out,
because you doubted the official story,
because you looked with your own eyes,
spoke from your own heart.
They will come for you in black uniforms, black helmets,
swinging black batons, symbols of the New Authority,
and you will say,
“No, my children and I will not come with you.”

You will say no — not because Charlie Sheen
inspired you one night on FOX News
to look more closely at falling towers.
You will say no — not because Alex Jones
led you through the darkness with a bullhorn.
You will say no — not because Howard Zinn
handed you the Book of Truth on a silver platter.
You will say no because you are your own
star of truth shining the way.

At your unique hour, in the dark,
beneath a burning paper currency moon,
the Cold Hand of Power will touch you and revolt you.

At your unique hour,
when they come for you because you asked questions,
because you did not lower your eyes,
because you did not bow down,
at your unique hour,
in your unique circumstance,
you will find yourself in the grip of a courage
you have not known but which you are.
You will stand in front of black helmets with invisible faces,
and you will say,
“No, my children and I will not come with you.”

Daughters and sons of revolutionaries,
blood burning for freedom,
eyes set toward tomorrow,
each of you alone in the darkness,
beneath tender constellations burning gold and silver,
each of you will remember the path to take
when the Cold Hand of Power comes for you,
each of you will make your way without direction or encouragement,
as those before you made their way without direction or encouragement,
forging history, embracing destiny.

You will not march in file.
You will not march.
The revolution will not be organized.

In your darkest hour,
beneath the burning moon,
you will pledge allegiance to the truth,
as those before you pledged allegiance to the truth.

The truth cannot be organized.

At What Cost, Victory

As we get closer to the upcoming presidential election the news media is focusing the majority of their time to the campaigns of Barack Obama and John McCain. As I watch the news clips of these two candidates while they are out campaigning amongst the public I am amazed at the level of enthusiasm exhibited by the supporters of these two men who seek to become our next president.

While supporters of each candidate are steadfast in their belief that their candidate is a far better choice than the other, I myself am filled with an overwhelming sense of dread and despair when I consider that one of these two is going to be our next president.

It truly amazes me that the American people could find anything at all about these two men that would cause them to support either of them. Neither of them seem to understand, or at least care about governing within the limits imposed upon them by the Constitution.

If you want my thoughts on it, then I suppose the reason people support these two is that we have not heeded the admonition of John Adams when he said, “Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom.”

As a nation, we have paid dearly for that mistake. James Madison, who is considered to be the primary author of the Constitution, once said, The rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted

Compare what Madison said to a statement made by former President Bill Clinton in an interview for USA Today back in 1993, “We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans…” How far we have strayed!

However, former President Clinton is not alone when it comes to his disregard for our inalienable rights. George W. Bush, in his War on Terror, has done almost irreparable damage to our rights, and we have accepted it as necessary because of our fear of terrorists. If you ask me, the real terrorists are the ones sitting in our nations capital pretending to be public servants who abide by the Constitution. We ought to fear them far more than we do. Yet we continue to believe that they have our best interests in mind when they ram these unconstitutional pieces of legislation through Congress with little time to no debate upon their legality.

However it is not only our Presidents who have been derelict in their obligation to uphold the Constitution, it is Congress as well. Last weeks bailout of the financial institutions is the latest in a long string of legislation that they have had no Constitutional authority to enact.

Prior to the passage of this legislation I sent both my Senators and my representative in the House letters opposing this bill, asking them by what Constitutional authority they claim to have that would grant them the right to pass this legislation. I received responses from two of them in my e-mail. Both of them went to great lengths to explain their reasons for supporting this bill. Neither of them answered my question as to what legal right they had to even consider it.

Since their answers were insufficient, I sent them the following in response,“I had recently sent you a letter voicing my disapproval of the proposed economic bailout package. In my letter I asked what grants Congress the authority to use tax dollars to fund a bailout such as the one you are proposing.
Today I received your response, and my question was not answered. So I will ask it again. Which clause in the Constitution grants Congress the right to bail out any financial institution? I have read the Constitution, and to the best of my knowledge there is no clause granting this power to Congress.
Am I to presume then that Congress has taken the law into their own hands and is doing whatever they desire?
I do not wish to know your reasons for voting in favor of this bill, I only want to know who granted you the authority to do so. I sure didn’t and I want no part of the responsibility that goes along with my money being used to bail these institutions out.”

I do not expect a reply this time, as I have found that they do not like having to answer questions when they are required to give a direct answer devoid of rhetoric and lies.

Getting back to my original point, both candidates for president, John McCain and Barack Obama, voted in favor of this bill. That fact alone should prove that they are willing to disregard the Constitution and the will of the vast majority of the American people who vehemently opposed this bailout.

It is bad enough that the economic policies of our government and the banking industries led to this financial meltdown, now we are expected to cover their behinds?

This whole financial mess is best explained by the following quote by Lynn Stuter, one of the many outstanding writers who contribute to News With Views.com, “And the bottom line is that this all came about because of crooked Wall Street tycoons, bankers, lobbyists and elected representatives who profited from speculating on the bad debt until the whole concept imploded, as it was bound to, and the bad debt could no longer be ignored. The banks that held the bad debt became insolvent. This is tantamount to the average American taxpayer not paying his mortgage, his car payment, his utilities, his credit cards, but setting up a pool to bet against how long his bad debt would be ignored; taking the profit from that betting, living high on the hog, but not paying off the debts until his bad debts could no longer be ignored; then asking the community to pay off his bad debts so he still had his house, his car, and his money.”

Our government has spent this nation into the poorhouse with its pork barrel filled bills and unconstitutional programs. They grant tax breaks to corporations that set up camp outside the U.S. at the cost of millions of jobs for Americans. Then they say that the economy is suffering.

The economy is not Wall Street. Wall Street has become a casino for people to gamble their earnings in the hopes of scoring big. The economy is the average American, working and creating goods, or providing services that others purchase. When people lose their jobs to someone in China, India, or some other country, or their salaries lose their purchasing power due to the inflationary practice of pumping massive amounts of worthless Federal Reserve Notes into the system, the economy suffers. Yet we are told by the unelected Secretary of the Treasury and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve bank that these financial institutions, whose irresponsible business practices are largely to blame for this mess to begin with, now need to be bailed out at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer, and both our presidential candidates go along with that.

The majority of American citizens opposed this bailout of Wall Street yet they still support Barack Obama or John McCain. Why aren’t they seeking an alternative when they have just witnessed the next president go against their wishes and desires?

That is why I am filled with despair, because I know that no matter which one of these two men become president, the end result will be more of the same, increasingly more difficult times for the average American, and more infringements upon our rights and our liberty.

So, as long as the people of this country fall into line behind their candidate, with each party placing the blame for the woes of our nation upon the opposing political party, our country will continue to spiral downwards because no one wants to vote for an alternative candidate.

The truth of the matter is that there is no significant difference between the two political parties and people must be blind or unwilling to accept what is plainly visible to any who choose to examine the facts.

Both parties claim to have different agendas and means of accomplishing them, but when you look beyond the differing campaign promises you will see that they both mean to strip you of your rights and freedom and place you further into debt. It matters not whether you are enslaved under a Democrat or a Republican, you are still enslaved.

I had hoped that the American people would realize the direction we are heading, and once again regain the spirit of those patriots in 1776 who believed, ”
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 appears however the people are still unwilling to face the facts. So go ahead and celebrate whenever your candidate wins, and forget about what may be the cost of your victory. I, on the other hand will be in mourning.

****A NOTE**** This may be my last article until after the election. I feel I have done and said all I can to try and make people think for themselves and look “outside the box” for our next president. In a short time I will know if what people like me have been saying has sunk in. So, unless something major comes up that pisses me off enough to shout out about it, I may just watch things develop and enjoy some good Dream Theater or Rush music for awhile.

Letter to elected officials

I am sending this letter to all my elected representatives. Feel free to copy it and send it to yours as well. The house needs cleaning in D.C. and I am hoping that enough people will remember what their representatives have done to them.

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye,

Today, President Bush signed the financial aid package that passed both houses of Congress. There is nothing Americans can do about George W. Bush as he is a lame duck president. However, the actions of those sitting in Congress are something we the people of this country can do something about.

It matters not whether you are a Senator, or a member of the House of Representatives, the Constitution of this land is binding upon you all.

Far too many citizens of this country are ignorant when it comes to what the Constitution says about the powers granted to Congress, however there are some of us who are well aware of what that document says you can, and cannot do.

Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution defines the specific powers granted to Congress. Among them are numerous things for the general welfare of our nation. However, the plundering of the citizens of this country to the tune of over $700 billion, to pay for the failed economic principles of the Federal Reserve Bank, the Secretary of the Treasury, The Securities and Exchange Commission, and the many sundry financial institutions are not among those listed.

Therefore, each and every one of you who gave this financial aid package a yea vote is guilty of violating your oath of office to uphold the Constitution. If our Justice Department were doing its job, you would all be facing criminal charges. If our Supreme Court were doing its job, this legislation would be declared null and void, and not one penny of our tax dollars would be spent to bail out any private industry.

It matters not that your intent was good, you simply did not have the authority to do it. If I knew for a fact that a person in my neighborhood was selling drugs to kids, even though my intentions were good, the law forbids me from beating the drug dealer to within an inch of his life. If I witness a man stumbling out of a bar and climbing into his car, even though my intentions were good, I am prevented by the law from running this man off the road to save others lives.

These may be far fetched scenarios, but the principle still applies to you, my elected representative. You are bound by oath to uphold the Constitution, and time and time again you have chosen to violate it. Enough is enough, your time has come to be removed from office for your disregard for the charter that grants you any authority at all to legislate on my behalf.

It is past time to give our nations capital an enema and purge it of the filth that dares call themselves representatives of the people. Your passage of this legislation, and the ensuing burden it will place upon the taxpayers of this country may very well have been the straw that broke the camels back.

Therefore, you have been served notice that your time is up.

Therein Lies The Rub

Last night I was going through some posts on the blog of my friend who graciously has hosted my new blog, http://www.zombie-slayer.com/neal/. One of his posts was welcoming me to his domain. In welcoming me to his domain he states, “I’ve always liked Neal’s writing. Even in the few cases we disagree, I appreciate that he thinks out everything he believes and doesn’t just get his ideas spoonfed by the media or some ass clown on the radio or television with a lot of charisma.”

One of the comments to that post was, “Thanks for posting the link to Neal’s new blog. I’ve been a fan for quite some time. Neal knows the Constitution better than anyone I know!”

To which I replied, “I only know it because I have probably read it a thousand times. Same with the Federalist Papers and much of the writings of Jefferson and Madison.”

I sent a few of those comments to someone and they responded to me that it is not only reading something that is important, it is being willing to act upon what you read. After reading that I thought that it is also important to understand what you are reading as well.

A fellow writer whose articles often appear at News With Views, has been working on a plan to educate and motivate people so that we can restore our nation to the system of government that was envisioned by our founders. In his writings he takes the viewpoint of someone with a marketing background.

As Clive Owen says in the movie, Inside Man, “Therein lies the rub.” I don’t know if it is just some peculiar trait that was embedded into my genes, but when I watch the news, or listen to people talk, I am very analytical. I guess I have developed the ability to keep my emotions in check.

That is what I see as the basic difference between myself and others when I discuss the issues that face our nation. Most people are emotion driven, while I examine the facts and look at the legality of what is being said.

It is not that I am some emotionless zombie. Just ask my wife when she watches me yell at the television when I see someone make some idiotic statement, or propose some government program that I know is totally against what the Constitution authorizes. If my doctor were to take my blood pressure while watching these news shows I would be on medication by the end of the day. The point is that my emotional outbursts are mostly disbelief that people are buying into what they are being told.

If you watch any of the television ads that the candidates produce to seduce you into voting for them, you will notice that they are very slick. These candidates pay good money to craft these ads to play upon your emotions. In that respect, maybe there is something to the fact that my friend at NWV thinks we should use marketing to get our message across.

However, when you rely totally upon your emotions to make decisions you are overlooking the consequences of your decision. A fine example of decisions based upon pure emotions is road rage. Any thinking person would not chase someone down and threaten or assault them just because they were cut off in traffic.

Emotions are fine, but you have to also examine facts when making a decision of such magnitude as electing someone to represent you in government. That is where the people of this country are coming up short. All they see is the campaign ads, the debates, and they are basing their decisions upon that?

The other night, the day after the first McCain/Obama debate, my local news channel was reading e mails from people who watched the debate. One viewer got it right when he said something along the lines, “It matters not who won the debate in terms of scoring the most points against the other. This is not a beauty contest where we base our decision upon who looked best. We have to examine the substance of what they said.”

The problem is this, to examine the substance we have to have an understanding of the facts, all of them. We have to examine the voting records of these candidates on the issues. We have to study the charter, in the case the Constitution, for the powers granted the office for which these candidates seek, to see if they are authorized to act upon the promises they make. Finally we have to hold them accountable when they violate that charter.

However, if you look at some of the most recent presidential races you will see that the winner was the one who came across as the most likeable. Remember the Dole/Clinton race? Dole was a stiff old man and Clinton was personable. Look who won. Bush versus Gore. Gore was stiff and awkward, Bush won. Now we have Obama/McCain. McCain is stiff and old, and Obama is like a rock star. Who do you think is going to win?

None of these candidates were/are worthy to hold the office of president as none of them understood the limitations placed upon that office by the Constitution. Yet we vote for them because we have been told that there is no alternative. We hate being on a losing team, and therefore a vote for a third party is like siding with a known loser. Not enough people are willing to educate themselves regarding the facts, the legality of what these candidates are promising, and then voting accordingly.

And that my friends is what has gotten us to the point where we are today. Our country is in a shambles. Our economy is tanking, our jobs are being shipped overseas while the CEO’s of these companies are getting tax breaks, and our borders are open and allow illegal aliens to spill into our country because our government refuses to enforce the law. Crime is rampant and morality is locked away.

Political correctness has made it next to impossible to speak out against anything without being labeled a racist, unpatriotic, or even charged with hate speech. What happened to our first amendment rights?

Our nation is in a downhill slide into despotism and unless people learn to put a check on their emotions and start using that grey matter sitting inside their skulls, we are going to continue that slide into the destruction of the greatest nation on earth.

All I ask is that you think, but that may be asking just a bit too much.

*On A side note* I am still trying to find a font color that is not too bright that it hurts your eyes as you read my posts. Please have patience while I experiment a bit. I like the simple black background, but it makes it difficult to find a font that is not too bright.

When Will Enough Be Enough

“The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments.” George Washington

With our Congress currently working on a piece of unconstitutional legislation to resolve this economic crisis our nation faces which, by the way, was recommended by the very buffoons who allowed this crisis to happen anyway, I have been pondering what exactly is it going to take to wake the people of this country up to the fact that their government is doing whatever it damn well pleases, and that it no longer is representing them.

This economic bailout package that Congress is currently working on is just the latest in a long string of violations of the Constitution that have been perpetrated by our government. Our government has been violating the Constitution and assuming powers that are not theirs to assume since the earliest days of our government.

Did you know that the founders did not include anything in the Constitution that authorized the government to spend your tax dollars to fund the construction and maintenance of highways? That’s right, it is not within one of their specifically enumerated powers.

Thomas Jefferson thought it was a good idea for the government to build roads and canals using tax dollars…but he said that for it to do so the Constitution would first have to be amended to grant it the legal authority to do so. That amendment was never passed, yet the government routinely uses your tax dollars for all kinds of government funded infrastructure improvements. Does the Bridge to Nowhere sound familiar? Then there are the thousands of other earmarks that are routinely slipped into bills, which use your tax dollars to fund projects which are unconstitutional. You think your Congressman is doing such a good job because they are doing all these things for your state, when in reality by doing so they are violating their oaths of office by spending tax dollars upon things that are not authorized.

Yet our governments usurpation of powers does not stop merely at the unlawful spending of your tax dollars. Our rights are slowly being infringed upon by new laws that are in direct violation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The Real ID is just the most recent of these infringements. Where does the Constitution allow for the federal government to mandate to the states that they comply with this law? It matters not that they say it is in our best interests.

Many of these laws, from the spying upon U.S. citizens in the so called fight on global terrorism is one of them as well. They now have the power, I do not say authority, because they do not have that, to spy upon each of us if they suspect us of being involved in terrorism.

They can search your financial records if you are suspected of funding terrorist organizations. Hmmm, my wife’s sister lives in Mindanao in the Philippines, a place where the terrorist group Abu Sayyaf is known to be. My wife routinely uses Western Union to send her sister money. Does that mean they have gone through my banking records, listened to my phone calls, monitored my e mail? I wouldn’t doubt it, but nonetheless it is a clear invasion of my privacy and it violates the Bill of Rights.

All these things, they say, are for our best interests. They plead good intentions for all that they do. Daniel Webster warned us that, “Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that eh Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions.”

My question is this, when is enough going to be enough. When are people going to reach the point where they draw that imaginary line in the sand and say no more violations of my liberty?

The Declaration of Independence states that government is established to safeguard our liberties. It also states, “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it…”

So, what is going to take for people to realize that the time has come to alter or abolish this government? The Declaration of Independence continues by saying, “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.”

What are light and transient causes? Are they the taking of your tax dollars to fund things that they were never authorized to fund? How about entering into treaties that grant global tribunals power to overturn our laws, and even Supreme Court decision, as NAFTA does? Or does it mean that the government can routinely spy on you, monitor your activities, arrest you without legal counsel, all because they suspect that you may be involved, or associated, with terrorism?

Remember people, the Constitution clearly defines what powers the government has and the Tenth Amendment clearly states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”

So, what is your personal line in the sand, that your government must cross, before you say enough is enough? Mine was passed long ago. As far as I am concerned we have 436 traitors, masquerading as elected representatives, who, on a daily basis, violate their oaths of office to uphold the Constitution. I say 436 because Ron Paul is the only one who understands, and legislates, according to the dictates of the Constitution.

We are moving closer and close to despotism, we surpassed tyranny a long time ago. What does it take before people get tired of their government breaking the law? I suppose that people are under the misconception that for a tyranny to exist there would have to jack-booted thugs marching through the streets enforcing the law.

Does anybody remember Hurricane Katrina? Does the thought of the National Guard and Blackwater marching door to door confiscating people firearms seem just a little bit closer to your vision of what a tyrannical state is?

Are you aware that Northern Command, the command that is responsible for homeland security, will soon have it’s own division of active duty military assigned to help it fulfill its mission? That means the entire 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team will be on call to respond to any call by our Commander in Chief in regards to national threat, or supposed national emergency. Are we closer to your vision of tyranny yet?

How about when the Navy and Army special forces conducted urban warfare training in Portland and Salem Oregon, without notifying those in the area. So it was quite a surprise when, on August 25, the people of Portland witnessed these urban training exercises.

“The training is routine and conducted throughout the United States,” said Lt. Nathan Potter, a Naval Special Warfare Command spokesman in Coronado, Calif. “We go to a lot of large cities like Portland because it’s unfamiliar territory.”

Navy Times

Then there is blog post from a man in Alabama that states, “A few years ago in my hometown of Anniston, Alabama, and the town that joins it, Oxford, received a rude awakening as the night skies darkened. Soldiers from Ft. Bragg, North Carolina suddenly appeared in dark uniforms as they dropped from helicopters into yards. Electricity was cut off, and the town was completely dark. Silhouettes of soldiers were everywhere. Machine gun fire began to lighten the night sky. Hundreds of calls began to flood the sheriff’s office. The sheriff had no idea what was happening. The soldiers captured the Anniston, Alabama airport. They controlled the town……”

Blog Post

Then there is Blackwater, our countries largest, best trained, and well equipped providers of mercenaries for the federal government. Blackwater says it is famous for its “

our ability to deliver hard hitting, effective training experiences for military, security and law enforcement professionals. We provide advanced training courses for a wide range of missions, terrain and tactical situations. We train both individuals and units applying our knowledge and experience to support their stated objectives. Our world class instructors are matched to the student audience with law enforcement veterans teaching law enforcement and military veterans teaching military courses. Courses are offered at our three U.S. training centers and through our mobile training program - delivering instructors to your location to teach.”

blackwater training

Come on people, an armed infantry unit, ready to respond on a moments notice, to engage in military actions on U.S. soil, against, quite possibly, U.S. citizens, these urban training operations, and the best equipped mercenaries training our law enforcement agencies in military tactics.

How much more do you have to see before you realize that your government has assumed control and that they are prepared to lock you up and throw away the keys if you step too far out of line?

As I said, my line in the sand was crossed a long time ago. How much longer before they cross yours?

Am I The Only One Who Finds This Ludicrous?


As I was watching the news this evening the main subject of discussion was the current financial crisis and the proposed $700 billion dollar bailout package. Call me cynical, but I just couldn’t help finding the whole thing ludicrous, especially when I saw Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson and Chairman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke sitting before Congress, looking duly somber, asking that they approve this monstrous bailout package.

Here we have the Chairman of the FED, who is one of the most important decision-makers of our nations economic policy, the Secretary of the Treasury, whose mission goal is to “Serve the American people and strengthen national security by managing the U.S. Government’s finances effectively, promoting economic growth and stability, and ensuring the safety, soundness, and security of the U.S. and international financial systems.” and the United States Congress, who control the purse strings in regards to how and where our tax dollars are spent, all sitting around trying to figure out how to fix the mess that they created.

These people are supposed to be responsible for doing all that is within their power to ensure our nations economy thrives. Yet even as early as last week Secretary Paulson said that our country’s financial system was fine. How could a crisis of such huge proportions blindside these people, who are supposed to be the best and brightest in their areas of expertise?

On top of that, here we have these two men sitting before Congress, which has allowed our nation to amass a national debt of over $9.6 trillion. How can anyone believe that Congress, the Secretary of the Treasury, or the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board have any clue as to how to manage a budget, or our nations economy?

Yet here we are, the taxpayers of America, once again having to pay for the blunders of those elected, and non-elected idiots. Not only that, “The administration is asking Congress for far-reaching new powers to take over troubled mortgages from banks and other companies…”

We all know what happened the last time President Bush was granted far reaching powers, legislation such as the Patriot Act, The John Warner Defense Authorization Act, and the Military Commissions Act are what happened.

Still, these people are asking that we give up more of our money to cover for their mistakes, and grant them more power.

That the American people have let their government screw things up this bad is pathetic enough. However, if they allow the government to saddle them with the responsibility of paying for their mistakes, then they are dumber than even I could have imagined.

There is no doubt that our nation is in serious financial trouble, but to rely upon those who created this mess to fix it is just begging for more problems. Isn’t it time we began to listen to someone outside the asylum who understands fiscal responsibility and monetary policy?

With the election just over a month away it is going to be interesting to see if the American people decide to flush the toilet that is our nations capital, sending all the excrement that currently sits in office, which pretends to represent the people of this country, down the drain and replace it with something clean and fresh.

But by the look of things, it only appears that America will only elect another moron who has no clue as to fiscal responsibility and could care less that we the people of this country will end up paying for their mistakes.
