A Boy Wants to be King!

Looking back over the last five years or so, I see a nation that trusts a child with the highest office in the land. I see a child who for all intent and purpose, is so wrapped up in himself that he really believes he can do anything he wants without question or consequence. The scary thing is, he has the most powerful weapons on the planet at his fingertips.

The United States of America is unique in its creation and the proper functions of the government and the People. The participation of the People was made inherent in the fact that the Constitution itself is a contract, between us and the government that is assembled as a result of that contract. 

What I see now is a nation that seems paralyzed by their own ignorance of facts, holding on to an illusion that electing Barack Hussein Obama was to show the world we have emerged into the sphere of humanity and we are truly no longer a racist nation. In the meantime we have a self-centered child leading us into one crisis after another, and he has no clue as to how to fix any of them. He has surrounded himself with childhood playmates who also possess the same delusions of grandeur and who are equally clueless as to what it will take to fix the problems we face. And they seek to destroy all who have the audacity to oppose their dangerous policies.

I do have a plan that will restore integrity and sanity to this once great country. We the People will not elect the candidates that the two major parties nominate. No, we will vet candidates who by the way they live their own lives, demonstrate they are aligned with true patriotism and constitutional law. And with their representation in all levels of government, we will repeal all the laws enacted that are clearly violations of constitution limits. We will reduce spending and taxes so that businesses can become profitable and the taxes on their profits will be enough to sustain a trim national government. Those taxes will be reduced when we have a lean federal government.

It will mean that most Americans will have to take action themselves. It will mean that we cannot just allow someone we elect the trust that they will serve our best interests, unless we perform due diligence and hold them accountable from the start. And when they complete their terms of service, they will return to their previous businesses and jobs, knowing they performed a service to their community, state and/or nation. That it how it was designed to be, without career politicians living off of the tax payers to whom they were elected to serve.

In the coming days and weeks, it is apparent that our narcissistic Commander-in-Chief must be held accountable for his actions, or more precisely, his lack of action when it was required to save American lives. He must be held accountable for dereliction of duty in not taking immediate steps to defend Ambassador Stevens and his staff. And most of all, those who we have elected to office, who swore oaths to defend and protect the Constitution, must impeach this childish President and all those who have been supporting him in deceiving the American people with behavior that is criminal in their implications and deadly in their results. Don't just assume that there are those in Congress who will do the right thing. Demand it!

True Patriots: Lovers of Liberty

It is not easy to be a true patriot in the United States of America today. The main reason being that the government has written so many laws that violate individual and State's rights, that it will take decades to sift through them all and nullify them all.

One way of handling the problem is at the State level. So my challenge to myself as a patriot is not only to voice my grievances with my elected members of the House and Senate, which alone is a monumental task, but to convince my State representatives in Salem (that is the capital of Oregon for those of you who lack that knowledge) to nullify those federal laws and mandates that go beyond the limitations of the Constitution by the federal government. I will have to vet candidates who also are patriots, demonstrating by how they live their lives and not by their campaign promises and rhetoric.

This is how I choose to express my love of liberty and life. Standing up for principles in the face of social ideology of Utopia that disregards all logic and reason to push their own agenda. Our enemies are those who will take our liberty and property. Be that an extremist faction from a foreign country or a corrupt politician here at home. The causes may be different but for us, the result is the same. A government begins taking from one group to give to another. Problems begin when the number of givers are few when compared to the number of takers. That is a real problem in America that nobody wants to address. 

The Bill of Rights was included in the Constitution at the insistence of the State assemblies to protect their sovereignty and the individual sovereignty of their residence. Think about this: Why do the states have their own constitutions? Wasn't the one we gave the Federal Government sufficient? In fact, for the most part, each state constitution includes the U. S. Constitution within their own, in whole or part. Why?

The Constitution for the united States of America is essentially a contract. We the People, contract and consent to creating a national government with few and limited powers. The Tenth Amendment makes it clear that those powers not reserved for the federal government was reserved for the many States and to the People. The rights of the People are not limited to just those that are clearly defined. The idea that these rights in the Bill of Rights is what We get is erroneous in logic ans commons sense, neither of which was lacking in the founders of this once great nation.

Through indoctrination in the federal mandated and regulated public school system, we now have generations who do not know what the Constitution really is about. They think they get rights from the Constitution. They also think that whatever laws Congress enacts and the President signs, it the law of the land. They really don't know that there are no laws that are valid when they violate the Constitution. Because they don't know that the document is a contract.

Those first ten amendments were for the government to remember that when enacting legislation, the rights of the People and States must always be considered above all else but the very safety of the union itself. The pretense of war and the War Powers Act, the former a treasonous act against the People and the latter an example of unconstitutional acts that are meant to do nothing less than circumvent those very limits of power and the delegation of that power among the three government branches defined in the Constitution.

We also have powers and responsibilities as well. We are the fourth branch of government in a sense. We must protect and defend our rights and property, and that of our neighbors. As more Americans abdicate their power and responsibilities to a government they become enslaved by that government through the corrupt people we elected. 

One of our powers is certainly to replace them through the ballot box, so we must control the elections instead of political parties controlling them. We must protect the vote, assuring that every valid ballot is counted and verified.

It is not the government's job to provide all that it has mandated. Drug laws, gun laws, health care laws are all beyond the limitations placed on government by the People's and State's representatives in the contract we call the Constitution for the united States of America. It was a lawful and binding contract that all parties must adhere to. 

Since the government has obviously not lived up to the contract, We the People must do whatever is required by constitutional means to replace that corruption of government with new representation for the People and States. Further, we must 

Same Game: Different Blame?

Well, the blame game is just getting under way. First we have the Benghazi murders that neither the White House nor the State Department wants to talk about. First they blamed the attack on a video and then on spontaneous protests. And there are survivors who will testify before Congress on Wednesday, several under alleged threats from the government.

Next we have the Boston Marathon bombings where one dead brother is being refused a burial site and the other is being Mirandized to clam up. Neither the White House nor the Justice Department will say who gave the order for that. Guess they must know all they need to know from the friends of bombers also, as one at least has been released to his mother's custody with a GPS bracelet on his ankle.

Then there is the trial of murderess, Jodi Arias that has taken up more air time than the entire NBA regular season, while a butcher of infants in Philadelphia gets ignored by the privately-owned major media. The former is a sick woman that needs to be found guilty because she destroyed the life of a young man in his prime, and the latter the death penalty for the countless murders he committed in the name of unwanted pregnancies.

With all that is going on, I still managed to place a small wager on Orb in the Kentucky Derby and be rewarded a winning ticket. And that is the only certainty to report on this day. Lot's of questions and very few answers. Tell me again why I should believe what is reported as news?

Immigration and Border Control

The way I see it, the immigration 'problem' can be handled quite simply and it will save tax dollars.

First, you must remove the incentives that attract foreigners from coming into the U.S. illegally. You do that by removing ALL federal benefits for education, food, health care, and shelter. If you arrive here from anywhere else with proper documentation, you are free to come to America to find a job or start a business. Or if you have promise of employment a work visa may be obtained expeditiously when proper background checks are made to both the employer's and the government's satisfaction regarding that clean record in one's background. That person will pay taxes at a rate slightly higher than a U.S. citizen since a job here means that an American is not employed.

Next, you must seal the border. With joint cooperation between the state and federal governments, a plan that serves the best interests and capabilities of each border can be implemented. If funding is required to build fences or walls, depending on the necessity of the local terrain, it can be found in the savings from ending funding to foreign nations, starting with the ones that are most hostile toward the United States. Troops can be redeployed from around the world to provide temporary security until the border crossings are in place and the entire length is secure in the manner that serves the requirements of the local terrain. No additional taxes or borrowing will be necessary to fund the endeavor.

These fine members of our armed services will no doubt make excellent law enforcement officers if they so desire, in both state and local governments, protecting their family, friends, and community.In fact, they still will be serving to protect the nation as deputy sheriffs and police officers. A secure border is not about keeping illegal immigrants out, rather it deters foreign enemies from coming to the United States as spies and saboteurs. They can now cross the border as easily as a good man seeking work and liberty for himself and his family.

Many politicians will try to convince us that we cannot forget that many of these illegal and undocumented workers must have a path to legal status and citizenship. Well they do! If they are here illegally, the path will lead back to their country of origin. There they will make application just as so many other foreigners have and do. We cannot reward them for breaking the law by moving them ahead of those who are waiting in line with legal application documentation.They broke the law so they get deported. When Americans break laws they go to prison so I don't see a problem here.

Many will also tell us that children who were born or brought here guiltless victims if their parents are deported. Really? And how about all the homeless American citizens with children that can benefit from the aid given to foreigners illegal or legal? How can you possibly justify so many Americans in need when foreigners are given so much?

Simply a case of a shortage of common sense and logic when the government is put in charge of solving a problem that they (the government) created in the first place!
