END THIS TYRANNY

Tyranny is defined in the Merriam Webster Dictionary as: cruel and unfair treatment by people with power over others; a government in which all power belongs to one person. Escaping the tyranny of a monarch was the reason America was founded. Our Declaration of Independence from another country, England, 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, 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.” Our forefathers fought a war to earn America’s freedom from tyranny.

Our Founding Fathers wanted to be sure that America would remain the country of free people. To that end, they provided a legal, peaceful method within our Constitution to strip an internal tyrant of power. It is the tool of Impeachment defined in the Constitution, Article II, Section 4: “The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” The House of Representatives issues the impeachment charges and the Senate conducts the trial.

Two American Presidents have been impeached. Andrew Johnson, the 17th President, was impeached on grounds of disregarding the Tenure of Office Act of 1867. It prohibited a President from dismissing office holders without the Senate’s approval. He was impeached by the House of Representatives for trying to throw Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of War, out of office. The Senate was one vote short of the two-thirds majority needed to convict him and he was acquitted May 26, 1868. Political maneuvering is cited as the reason there was not a conviction.

William J. Clinton, the 42nd President, was the second impeached. He was charged with four crimes and impeached in the House of Representatives on two of those, grand jury perjury and obstruction of justice. Again, the Senate failed to secure the two-thirds majority needed to convict and he was acquitted February 12, 1999. Again, political maneuvering is cited as the reason there was not a conviction.

Also, Richard Nixon, the 37th President, had three articles of impeachment issued by the House of Representatives on July 20, 1974. Nixon resigned his office on August 9, 1974, before the House voted to impeach him.

In all three instances, the Constitution did its job. What the Founding Fathers did not foresee was that people elected to represent the citizens would thwart our country’s guiding document, the Constitution, for personal or party gains. America has evolved into two parties, the Democrats and the Republicans. For too many of those elected to our Congress, the desire to keep their individual power and to maintain their party’s control over spending our tax dollars is more important than ensuring that the Constitution is enforced.

Another safeguard in the Constitution to protect us against tyranny is the assignment of specific powers to three separate branches of the Federal Government, the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches. No branch may infringe on the powers of the others. By not taking the appropriate action, impeaching Obama, the Congress has subjected us to having a Tyrant, not a President, heading the Executive branch of the Federal government.

In August, 2013, Business Daily listed several laws Obama has broken. He chooses what laws do and don’t suit his needs and ignores the latter. He is usurping the law-making power the Constitution gives solely to the Legislative branch of the Federal government, the Congress.

Obama circumvented the immigration law, deciding not to deport illegal immigrants under the age of 30. He unilaterally has and continues to change Obamacare. These are only two examples on a very long list. After Congress enacts a bill and the President signs it, it is the law of the land. It can not be changed arbitrarily. Changes are legal only when they are introduced and approved by the Congress as a revocation of or an amendment to the original law.

Business Daily also lists actions Obama has taken that usurp the power the Constitution gives only to the Judicial branch of the Federal government. This tyrant ignores court decisions. Re-imposing a moratorium on off-shore drilling after the courts struck down his original moratorium and refusing to remove his appointees to the National Labor Relations Board after those appointments were ruled unconstitutional are only two examples of his illegal actions.

It is time for Congress to follow the rules; it must act and do what the Constitution demands. Breaking laws and usurping power are not allowable actions for any President. It is time to impeach and to try the forty-fourth President, Barack Obama. This tyrant must be stopped in order to preserve America as it was intended to be, a country of free people without a tyrant or a central power controlling her citizens.

This time, politics can not be allowed to over-ride the Constitution. Those in Congress who value their individual power and their party’s control over spending our tax dollars more than working for our best interests must be stopped. Use your voice, your vote, your power as citizens. Demand that Congress represent our interests by impeaching and convicting the tyrant in the Executive Branch. Save America from Obama by stripping him of his office. Return control of America to her citizens.

Unfortunately, Americans face an intentional lack of education in our public-school system to teach our youth how America is governed and their role and responsibility as citizens. So, citizens must educate themselves. Read the Constitution. It is readily available on line or in many libraries. Before you vote again, prepare to cast an informed vote. Know what candidates have achieved and what their actions demonstrate about their belief in protecting our individual rights and freedoms. Research candidates yourself; make your own decisions. Elect those who will live by their job description as it is defined in our Constitution. That job is to represent us.

The Most Highly Educated Citizens of America

Post By Prof. Paul Eidelberg

Americans spend an enormous amount of money for the education of their youth. Hardly anyone draws a connection between the content of this education, as articulated in the social sciences, the humanities, the law schools, and America’s decline as a world power. Let me illustrate this phenomenon by means of the character of President Barack Obama.

If Mr. Obama is rightly called an “Empty Suit,” this may be construed to mean that Obama is a deceptively “Invisible Man” in a visible suit. What made him invisible from the beginning is that he has no obvious or substantive national identity. Has he not called himself a “cosmopolitan,” a man without a country?

Has he not been rightly denominated as a “post-American” president? What does this mean in depth, in truth, and not in journalese? It means that Obama lacks any moral or intellectual attachment to America’s two foundational documents, the Declaration of Independence and the American Constitution.

Moreover, since the definitive and pivotal concept of the Declaration of Independence is “the laws of Nature and of Nature’s God,” which are obviously universal and immutable. Obama has effectively defined himself as a multicultural moral relativist, which means that Obama is a functional atheist or pagan nihilist.

Unsurprisingly, this defines the mentality of his Supreme Court appointments. Like Obama, the Court has ruled in favor of same-sex marriage, which is rampant in the Third World, especially in Africa with which Obama is very much identified. Obama, wherever he was born, is anything but a “red, white, and blue” American.

Indeed, his denial of “American Exceptionalism” is consistent with his multicultural moral relativism. But this relativism is nothing more than a euphemism for atheism, more precisely, nihilism. Nihilism has been rampant in American higher education for many decades, as may be seen in my essay, “Intellectual and Moral Anarchy in America Society,” which was published in the Congressional Record (Senate) in 1968.

We must therefore conclude that Obama represents the mentality of most university professors (roughly 80%), and that his election to the highest office in the land may be attributed primarily to America’s most highly educated citizens and opinion makers!

Waco “Twin Peaks” Shooting Updates: 14 Police Officers Fired “thousands of rounds” on 200 Bikers Killing 9, Wounding 18 – Two Thirds Of Those Arrested Had No Prior Criminal History…

It sounds like a lot of BS to me!

Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

This post was written by a USMC Vet. (I can’t argue with any of it. Passing it along as it was received.)

Franklin Graham was speaking at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida a few weeks back when he said America will not come back. He wrote:

The American Dream ended (on November 6th, 2012 ) in Ohio . The second term of Barack Obama will be the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled and developed the greatest Republic in the history of mankind.

A coalition of Blacks, Latinos, Feminists, Gays , Government Workers, Union Members, Environmental Extremists, The Media, Hollywood , uninformed young people, the “forever needy,” the chronically unemployed, illegal aliens and other “fellow travelers” have ended Norman Rockwell ‘s America . The Cocker Spaniel is off the front porch… The Pit Bull is in the back yard. The American Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky ‘s “Rules for Radicals” and Chicago shyster, David Axelrod , along with international Socialist George Soros will be pulling the strings on their beige puppet to bring us Act 2 of the New World Order.

Our side ran two candidates who couldn’t even win their own home states, and Chris Christie helped Obama over the top with a glowing “post Sandy ” tribute that elevated the “Commander-in-Chief” to Mother Teresa status. (Aside: with the way the polls were run, he didn’t need any help!) People like me are completely politically irrelevant, and I will never again comment on or concern myself with the afore mentioned coalition which has surrendered our culture, our heritage and our traditions without a shot being fired.

You will never again out-vote these people. It will take individual acts of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get back the rights we have allowed them to take away. It will take Zealots, not moderates & shy not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs to right this ship and restore our beloved country to its former status.

Those who come after us will have to risk their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to bring back the Republic that this generation has timidly frittered away due to “white guilt” and political correctness… An American Veteran……… Semper-Fi

Got the guts to pass it on? You betcha!

You betcha I’m a former Green Beret

Was the 2003 Bush Invasion of Iraq a “bad” decision?

This question seems to be popping up in all the media interviews of all the Republican candidates for the Republican Party’s potential nominee for the 2016 Presidential election next year. How these candidates answer this question should have been discussed in their planning sessions but it has obviously not done them any good since it is a question that cannot be answered much as the older version of, “Have you stopped beating your wife yet?” cannot be answered with a yes or no. Since most of these candidates are attorneys their ability to give a proper answer is a surprise.

A loaded question or complex question fallacy is a question which contains a controversial or unjustified assumption (e.g., a presumption of guilt in this case). Aside from being an informal fallacy depending on usage, such questions may be used as a rhetorical tool: the question attempts to limit direct replies to be those that serve the questioner’s agenda. This is not a legitimate question and must therefore be answered very carefully or not at all.

The current version of this type of question, “Was the 2003 Bush Invasion of Iraq a “bad” decision?” which is usually followed by a statement such as, “If you knew then what we know now.” There is no possible logical answer that can make any logical sense to a question like this. The person or candidate for office should state that this is not a valid question at any level and here are three reasons why.

Number one is. Since there is no way to know the outcome of any decision the justification for any decision must be based on the knowledge and experience of the person making the decision. Since, in this case, President Clinton three years before 9/11 advocated taking out Saddam’s WMD’s based on his knowledge of Saddam’s having WMD’s and refusing to get rid of them. Then, in 1998, and continuing until 2003 there was no disagreement in any of the intelligence communities that Saddam had WMD’s, and since he had used WMD’s against the Iranians and the Kurds in his country this was not an unreasonable conclusion.

Number two is. Since time travel is not possible asking a question that requires that is not valid. Since there is no way to give a person in the past knowledge of the future than what is the point of this question?

Number three is. The biggest fallacy to this question which is it “assumes” that the outcome of not doing the 2003 invasion would be better than what happened by doing the invasion. The problem is that there is no way to know what the outcome of not invading would have been. This would require an alternative universe a fiction of science fiction fans. However it is possible to speculate on a probable outcome of not invading; which could be an emboldened al-Qaeda since the initial efforts to capture bin Laden in October 2001failed. So what if bin Laden had got WMD’s from Saddam in say 2005 (some were later found in Iraq and that came to light in 2004 to 2006) and he had gotten some of the Mustard Gas into New York City and released it. There was enough found to kill more people in New York City than were killed in 9/11 and there is no way to prove that this would not have happened.

Giving answers like this by all the candidates would stop this line of questioning.

Baltimore’s Problems are self-imposed

Post By Jeff Longo

The problems in Baltimore have nothing to do with a racist police department or racism in general. The mayor and police commissioner are black. The police department is made up of a majority of minority police officers. The entire city council and a majority of the school board are black. Three of the Baltimore cops arrested are black and they were indicted by a black State’s Attorney.

Nor do the problems have anything to do with a lack of funding. $2.8 billion of the Obama stimulus slush fund was directed to Baltimore with nothing to show for it. The public school system pays $16,000 per student per year making it the second highest in the nation. And for all of that only 56% of the students end up graduating from high school.

Like many large American cities the problem is the corrupt ideology of liberalism. After five decades of uninterrupted Democratic rule the city of Baltimore is collapsing and those responsible are scrambling to deflect blame. Welfare programs have done more to harm the black community than any police department ever could. Fifty years ago liberals thought it was a good idea to pay women who had babies out of wedlock and no man in the house. Today a shocking 72% of black babies are born out of wedlock.

The Democratic Party needs to maintain and grow an underclass of uninformed voters dependent on government hand outs and looking for more. As long as the citizens, trapped in poverty and violence, keep checking the “D” on their ballot they will remain prisoners of liberalism and its failed welfare programs. And as always the Democratic Party can rely on the corrupt cowards in the main stream media to provide cover for the damage being done to our Republic, and its people.

Didn’t Know Blacks Owned Slaves in America? You Were Taught History…

There is a LOT of history that isn’t taught — it has been replaced with propaganda so we can be manipulated into thinking or believing a history that doesn’t exist. The goal of this is the elimination of the US Constitution and we are almost there now!
