"In questions of power...."

"In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." --Thomas Jefferson
 
 
Thomas Jefferson knew very well that, if allowed, man could certainly not be controlled with out the laws derived from a constitution to restrain him. Yet Jefferson, wise as he may have been, did not foresee men as Liberals. At least not as Liberal as many have become today. 
 
Never in our history have we been offered more evidence of outright contempt for our Constitution than by the liberal hegemony presiding over Washington today. For the first time since we were foolish enough to elect Jimmy Carter, the executive and legislative branches of our federal government are controlled, not only by Liberals, but by Liberals that can only be called vicious in their dedication to capture full and complete control of this country, Constitution or no Constitution. 
 

 

While I am one, of many, that strongly disagrees with this notion. The leader of this leftist gang of Chicago style political thugs is, of course, Barack Hussein Obama. Yes, the same community organizer  who promised his constituents, "This is our moment, this is our time to turn the page on the policies of the past, to offer a new direction. We are fundamentally transforming the United States of America . And generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was our time."   Now is it just me, or does that sound excessively arrogant? This from a man who’s political carrier does not span a single decade. 
 
Now, what’s worse, he’s been reading, and believing, all that fluff from the excessively Liberal Obama Media, and the man actually thinks he is in charge.
 
Granted, he really is a wordsmith, or he has some of the best writer I’ve ever heard. With lines like, "Everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act -- to lay a new foundation for growth." Now wasn’t that inspiring? He can really make it sound like he knows what he’s talking about. As long as the teleprompter works that is.
 
Yet, in this one man’s opinion, Barack Hussein Obama couldn’t "fundamentally transform" his own household, let alone our nation, if his life depended on it.  If we are a nation of laws with a national government limited by our Constitution, and make no mistake w e are , then Obama has no legal authority to "transform" our anything. Let alone the Constitution, which he obviously does not understand, or care about.
 
Those who laid the cornerstone of our foundation were very clear about its limits on government. They made this a part of our society in the form of a Constitution that provides laws that protect against any one man gaining this kind of power. 
 
When our first Congress enthusiastically urged George Washington to become the permanent president of the United States, he told them “You just got rid of one King George, do you truly want another?” The fact is we don’t want a King Barack either.
 
Regarding the legislature's authority, Thomas Jefferson tells us: "Giving Congress a distinct and independent power to do any act they please which may be good for the Union, would render all the preceding and subsequent enumerations of power completely useless.” If you stop, and look closely at what is going on today in Washington, it appears that congress is rapidly moving to set up just such a legislative authority. If we allow them to complete their work, we deserve what we get.
 
There is a problem, however. Our society has become so focused on our own lifestyles that we have no, or very little concern about politics. We would rather ‘let someone else take care of that.’ As a result there is no time to focus on today's political debates. We do not concern ourselves with these confusing things. We would rather walk through life politically blind, than to require Congress to answer that most essential question: What is the constitutional authority for Obama's proposals now being debated in Congress?
 
With all the bitterness over Obama's transformation of health care , the debate should not be centered on which if these many foolish plans is better. Rather, whether there is constitutional authority for any of the plans under consideration.
 
However, all factors being considered, it is unlikely such a question is forth coming anytime soon.
 
Recently, three leading Democrats in Congress were asked during news conferences to cite the constitutional authority for their healthcare plans. Each, and every one, responded with answers that displayed little more then and excessive arrogance and a disdain for the Constitution.
 
This arrogance toward the people, this lack of concern for the Rule of Law, as laid out by our Constitution, only serves to enhance the opinion that this Congress, with the support of the White House, is leading this country by the nose into a form of government that none of us will recognize or wish to be a part of. If the Health Care Bill is passed and made into law it will be the first step toward a Socialistic government in which only a few will have utter control over the masses. 
 
The final nail America’s coffin will be the Cap and Trade bill that has already been passed by the House, and is waiting in the wings for the Senate. If this bill is allowed to pass, it will most certainly be the end of the road our country as we know it today. Say hello to Third World America.
