Well did Thomas Paine say, “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”

After Alexis de Tocqueville, a French Jurist, visited America in 1831, he wrote, “I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there; in her fertile fields and boundless prairies, and it was not there; in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there.  Not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.  America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”

This great nation was founded by those fleeing religious persecution from the tyrannical governments of Europe. Religious liberty was of so great importance to them and our Founding Fathers that they ensured our right to religious freedom as item one in our Bill of Rights. The First Amendment of our Constitution states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; . . .” [Emphasis added.]

Article I. Section 8. of our Constitution has a clause which has become known as the “Commerce Clause.” This clause states that the Congress shall have power – “To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes.” [Emphasis added.] The effect of this clause is a grant of power to the federal government by We the People to regulate inter-state commerce between or “among the several States” but NOT intra-state commerce since intra-state commerce is contained within the boundary of a single State. This coupled with the Tenth Amendment which 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” has been a powerful check on the federal government’s intrusion into We the People’s private and personal business affairs.

An understanding of the Commerce Clause is very important for We the People. This is particularly true in the case of healthcare. The Affordable Health Care for America Act (ObamaCare) is presently before the Supreme Court. Many believe, including twenty-six States Attorney Generals, that ObamaCare violates the Commerce Clause as it requires individual citizens to purchase health insurance. This writer agrees with the States Attorney Generals’ position as explained in the following.

Regulation of insurance has always been a States Right. Each of the several States have their own (more…)

The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress. The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush’s Fault”, think about this: January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:

The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush’s Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION! (more…)

This is a great analogy.

For those of you with septic tanks it hits home.
Democrats don’t understand THE DEBT CEILING.
Republicans don’t understand THE DEBT CEILING.
Liberals don’t understand THE DEBT CEILING.
Neocons don’t understand THE DEBT CEILING.

Allow me to explain. Let’s say, you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood. Your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.

What do you think you should do? Raise the ceilings or pump out the poop?

Your choice is coming next November. Don’t miss the opportunity.

It is my personal belief that the majority of rank and file Americans, regardless of political persuasions, still believe in the Constitution of the United States and the Constitutional Liberties bequeathed to us by our Founding Fathers. It is my belief that We the People still hold that we are the “Rulers” and that our elected representatives, the “Political Elite,” are our “Servants.” I believe this because in 1787 between 14 May and 17 September, our Founding Fathers, of all political persuasions, came together and gave us our Constitutional Republic. Our Founding Fathers may have differed on their political views, as we do today, but they agreed on the Preamble and the seven Articles of our Constitution. And so it remains today, We the People may differ on our political views, but the majority of rank and file Americans still agree on the Preamble and the seven Articles of our Constitution, our Bill of Rights and the remaining Amendments.

On 3 January 2012 at the Iowa Caucuses, We the People will once again begin the process of electing the next President of the United States. A man, or woman, who before entering into the office must swear or affirm, “that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” [Emphasis added.] Our Founding Fathers wanted to ensure that our President had no divided loyalties and therefore provided that “No Person except a natural born Citizen, … shall be eligible to the Office of President.”[Article II. Section 1. Clause 5.] It is clear from reading our Constitution that our Founding Fathers only wanted a “true” American to be our President and at the helm of our Constitutional Republic.

This is probably the most critical election of our 235 year history. It is a time when We the People, individually and as a nation, must decide if we are to remain the “Rulers” in our Constitutional Republic or (more…)

In 1787 our Founding Fathers gave us our Constitutional Republic. The Preamble of that sacred document begins with “WE THE PEOPLE of the United States.” This seems like a simple enough statement that even an elementary school student should be able to understand it. If not perhaps President Lincoln can help our understanding. In his Gettysburg Address he explained that we, as a nation, are a “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” Why is it then that our elected Representatives and Senators, most of whom are “supposedly” well educated, cannot understand this? What is so hard to understand? They seem to have forgotten “WE THE PEOPLE” in favor of “we the special interest.”

U.S. military retirees fret about healthcare feesBy David Alexander

FORT WORTH, Texas | Wed Nov 2, 2011

FORT WORTH, Texas (Reuters) – When Wayne Johnson flew missions in Vietnam in the 1960s, one of the allures of a military career was the pledge that those who risked their lives for the United States would be repaid with healthcare in old age.

Now, as the 65-year-old retired Air Force major nears an age when he may need to bank on that promise, support is building in Washington for changes that could make it more costly for military retirees and their dependents to receive healthcare. It is a move Johnson finds worrying. (more…)

The folks who are getting the free stuff, don’t like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff, can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff, and, the folks who are paying for the free stuff, want the free stuff to stop and the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!

Now… The people who are forcing the people who Pay for the free stuff, have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff, that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

So… the people who are GETTING the free stuff, have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff, by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff, and giving them the free stuff in the first place. We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.

Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason?

The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them. The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 231 years ago. The number of people now getting free shit outnumbers the people paying for the free shit. We have one chance to change that in 2012. Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.

Two Black Americans were elected to Congress this cycle, and both are Republican. Col. West is from southern Florida. He won in a walk.

This new Congressman was an extremely popular commander in Iraq. He was forced to retire because during an intense combat action a few of his men were captured. At the same time his men captured one of the guys who were with the Iraqis who captured his men.

Knowing that time was crucial and his interrogators were not getting anywhere with the prisoner, Col. West took matters into his own hands. He burst into the room and demanded thru an interpreter that the prisoner tell him where his men were being taken. The prisoner refused so Col. West took out his pistol and placed it into the prisoner’s crotch and fired. Then the Col. told the prisoner that the next shot would not miss. So the prisoner said he would show where the American service members were being taken. The Americans were rescued. Someone filed a report on incorrect handling of prisoners. Col. West was forced to retire. Col. West was just elected in November 2010 to Congress from Florida. During the elections he was part of a panel on how to handle or how to relate to Muslims. You will see his answer here explaining in just over a minute the truth about Islam .
