Bye Bye Miss American Pie

Now that the election is behind us President B.Hussein O. may be learning just who his voters were as opposed to his current supporters. For the election A.C.O.R.N. and S.E.I.U. were able to round up welfare recipients and 18-24 year-old M.T.V. junkies to go down and vote for his hinney-ness. Those people are now predictably M.I.A. They are not actively engaged citizens who read political punditry, call their Senators and write their Congressmen. They don't attend town-hall meetings or go to political rallies. The don't follow the intricacies of Cap & Trade legislation or study the finer points of the Interstate Commerce Clause. BHO seems totally shocked by the evaporation of his base on Health Care Reform and other wacko lefty initiatives so dear to his heart. There is nothing mysterious about this phenomenon at all. These people thought that they were voting for a performer on American Idol. Well, guess what? This dude ain't got talent. These fickle voters are ready for the next episode and the next contestant. They are done with him. He's all fizzle and no sizzle. If this was the Gong Show the mallet would be swinging. Time for him to bow and exit...stage...left.

New Presidential Theme Song

THE SIDESTEP

From : "The Best Little Whorehouse In Washington"

Fellow Americans, I am proudly standing here to humbly see.

I assure you, and I mean it- Now, who says I don't speak out as plain as day?

And, fellow Americans, I'm for progress and the flag- long may it fly.

I'm a poor boy, come to greatness. So, it follows that I cannot tell a lie.

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-

I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,

cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

Now my good friends, it behooves me to be solemn and declare,

I'm for goodness and for profit and for living clean and saying daily prayer.

And now, my good friends, you can sleep nights, I'll continue to stand tall.

You can trust me, for I promise, I shall keep a watchful eye upon ya'll...

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-

I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,

cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

Now, Miss Nancy, I don't know her, though I've heard the name, oh yes.

But, of course I've no close contact, so what she is doing I can only guess.

And now, Miss Nancy, she's a blemish on the face of that good town.

I am taking certain steps here, someone somewhere's gonna have to close her down.

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-

I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,

cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep...

And, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step...

Cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

Breach of Contract

Five political appointees in black robes do not unmake the Constitution. There is no such thing as the Supreme Court, there are only nine justices. People who are imperfect and biased. When the justices function within the boundaries of the Constitution I respect their opinions. When they stray beyond those boundaries, which they have many times I have no respect for their opinions. They then become part of the problem instead of the solution. It is the duty of the President and Congress to reign in the justices when they exceed their assigned authority. There are many horrific rulings which need to be nullified. They do not own the Constitution or have the final, ultimate say about what it means. The Constitution is a contract between the States, which wrote the Constitution and thus created the Federal Government; and the People. The Supreme Court is not a party to that contract. We can all read it and understand what it means. It's time for the People to take back their Constitution and put the Supreme Court, the Congress and the President in their respective places. Which is the back seat, not the driver's seat.

XXVIII Amendment to the United States Constitution

  • All laws, programs, rules and regulations enacted by the Federal Government of the United States shall apply to all federal elected officials, all federal appointed officials and all federal employees and contractors equally and without exception. Yes, it's retroactive.
  • Members of Congress and the U.S. Senate, appointed federal officials, and federal employees and contractors shall not have the use of any federal government supplied, contracted or run gymnasium, cafeteria, postal service, hair or beauty salon or any other personal convenience service or facility. They shall mingle with the common folk for all of these services.
  • No member of Congress or the U.S. Senate, appointed federal official or federal employee or contractor may use any private or private federal government conveyance or transportation. They shall drive their own private automobiles and ride public or commercial buses, subways, trains, boats, ferries or air transportation. They shall not be given any special parking or special treatment or advancement in line for ticket purchase, check-in, baggage check-in or security checks. They created the T.S.A., let them enjoy it. Reimbursement for purchase of transportation for official federal government business shall be granted if approved by the appropriate supervisor and subject to public open records review and if within budget constraints.
  • The Interstate Commerce Clause shall mean only that the Federal Government may intervene in a regulatory capacity to prevent a State from imposing unreasonable, prohibitive tariffs, taxes, fees or surcharges on real tangible goods crossing its border(s) to insure free and fair trade between the States. It does not give the Federal Government freedom to regulate any business in any fashion.
  • There are no penumbras or emanations from the original text of the Constitution and its approved Amendments. (R.I.P. William F. Buckley, Jr.).

OK, I'm Only Going to Say This Once...

Drop the illegal aliens and people who can afford health insurance but don't want it, then take the 8-10 million who are left and add them to the current Medicaid program, DONE! For cost savings: Tort/liability reform, de-link health insurance from employment, i.e. portability, make health savings accounts available to everyone, make tax deductibility for premiums available to everyone and allow cross-state competition. That's all we need to do. And get the Feds out of the picture!

A Taxing Question

If the current Congress were in office in 1913 do you think that they would feel it necessary to pass a constitutional amendment (Sixteenth) in order to collect federal income taxes? I doubt it.

Sauce...Goose...Gander?

So Congress disobeys the Constitution without penalty. We disobey the Sixteenth Amendment (Income Tax) and go to jail. Fair? Just wondering...

I Brought You Into This World...

This question of who is responsible for enforcing the Constitution upon the federal government and how to do it continues to be a vexing one. At this point the federal government basically polices itself and decides if it is obeying the Supreme Law. The Supreme Court essentially provides cover for the Congress and President to do whatever they darn well please. Let's admit it, Supreme Court appointments are political appointments. Period. So we have the fox guarding the hen house, the inmates running the asylum. Eighty percent of the time (my conservative guess) federal legislation or regulation is in direct violation of the Constitution and they tell us that the three branches have checked and are in agreement that everything is kosher. Now butt out, leave us alone. The commerce clause has become one big joke that they use to justify doing whatever in tarnation they please. (speaking of tar...and feathers) If the commerce clause is all that is necessary to justify the federal government doing anything at all, then why the very specific enumerated powers in Article 1, Section 8? And why the Tenth Amendment? Does anyone, or everyone else smell a rat? In fact, the commerce clause really should only empower the federal government to regulate tariffs placed by one state on goods passing through it from one adjoining state to another so as to prevent outrageous tariffs that would be prohibitive to commerce between the various states. That's it. It does not authorize the federal government to enact such things as a federal minimum wage, Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, complete regulation of our energy industry or a socialized health care system. The answer is right there in the Tenth Amendment. The people acting through their states must stand up to the federal government and yell 'Whoa!' Governors must inform the federal government that such idiocies as nationalized federal health care will not happen in their states. Period. And governors must be prepared to use their National Guard and any other resources at their disposal to enforce their decisions, if necessary. The states may need to get together and pass further constitutional amendments to clarify the role of and reign in the federal government. Hopefully we will never need to call a constitutional convention, but that is ultimately up to the states, not the feds. The states giveth the Constitution and only the states can taketh away or replace it. The fight to save our Constitution and nation is not in Washington, D.C., but in the state capitals. Now get crackin' governors!
