There are fundamental flaws in how American government operates today,
contrary to the Constitution and the vision of a representative republican form of governance.
I intend doing something about it: by educating and informing others who
are not even aware of the dangers.

The Blame Game: GOP Takes Their Turn

Before the final totals were in, the sore losing Republican Party was already blaming Ron Paul supporters for their loss. Having cheated Dr. Paul out of the nomination by every devious method possible, having denied him the opportunity to be a keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, they had the audacity and gall to ask Ron Paul supporters to throw themselves under the Romney bus.

Just as they accused Barack Obama for blaming all of his problems on George W. Bush, the GOP is taking the same path of blaming others for their own blunders. When Tea Party endorsed running mate Paul Ryan promised fiscal responsibility and no debt ceiling increase, he reneged and voted for it anyway. At least he was as consistent a flip-flopping liar as Romney.

Early on during the debates, Rush Limbaugh mentioned that to win the Presidency, the candidates had to sway the 30% of independent and non-partisan voters. In other words, the majority of  the Tea Party folks. I can't see how they would back Romney/Ryan after the double-crossing Ryan gave them. These are Americans who are not lock stepping with any party agenda. These are the young and educated voters, who know better than to by the propaganda slime of the privately-owned major media.

So who will the Republican Party choose as it's next victim? More relevant is the question, "When will American voters realize that the two party system is an illusion and that it never represents the interests of  the People? Will it happen before the collapse of the USA or will this nation struggle and endure another four years of constitutional deterioration and fiscal irresponsibility?

Will more States nullify the Affordable Patient Protection Act and stand by their own legalization of cannabis in the face of federal threats? Or will they capitulate in fear of losing federal funding for their local law enforcement budgets?

And who will they blame when foreign troops under the United Nations flag begin to deploy on American soil to quash "civil unrest" and maintain order when the people begin to rebel against the tyranny that has become the federal government?

Death of a Nation




What will become of America now that liberty has been taken for the illusion of safety? Many people came out this past Tuesday to support the incumbent even with all the issues that have plagued this Administration and the American People.

A hastily passed health care act that will rob over a half trillion dollars from Medicare, restrict medical services based on accounting rather than need, and force people to purchase health insurance, furthering the demand on the people instead of providing them choice.


An  appointed Attorney General who has side stepped the law and allowed weapons to be sold to criminals in the now infamous Fast and Furious debacle, a man who has ignored immigration law, has refused to come forth with documents regarding the arms sale debacle that resulted in the deaths of countless civilians on both sides of our southern border, in addition to the Border Patrol agent(s) who also were murdered with those same weapons.

We have currently a Defense Secretary who has told Congress that he gets his marching orders from NATO and the United Nations, unconstitutionally by-passing Congress altogether. But he did say that he would inform Congress of actions if it is deemed necessary.

This was never a perfect union and yet it managed to survive and prosper for over 200 years until the foundations of that union began to crumble. There are many places we can point to, but one of the most significant is the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

Then President Woodrow Wilson admitted that he sold out the nation when he signed that bill into law. Several Presidents since that time expanded the control of the Federal Reserve over the nation’s currency, no doubt to deplete the gold reserves that kept our currency stable.

The promise of ending depressions was short-lived as we all know that the markets crashed in 1929 and many banks failed, leaving the country in a Great Depression, with many homeless and unemployed. It wasn’t until the united States declared war against Japan and finally joined the alliance in Europe fighting Hitler and the Nazis before a sense of recovery began.

Americans seem to have very short term memory when it comes to history. Somehow they allow the same foolish policies to be repeated and they expect better results. History proved time and again that a nation cannot survive purely on borrowing and giving benefits to people who are not productive members of the nation’s society..

When Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the bills that started Social Security, it was by design a Ponzi scheme, one which could never fulfill the promise of a retirement account for the individuals paying into it. The reality is that it is another method of taxation. But the real problems with Social Security began when Lyndon Baines Johnson became President and raided the funds to pay for a war in Vietnam. By doing so, the nation didn’t raise a ruckus over more debt. It was also during his tenure that the Medicare tax was instituted, yet another method of bilking the fruits of one’s labor.

This nation has trusted its elected representatives to protect their interests and they have not only failed to live up to those expectations and promises, but in fact have sold us out in every way imaginable. By taking over so much of the decisions of the individual, the government has become our nanny, telling us what we may or may not do, regardless of the unconstitutional laws, mandate, policies, and regulations it forces upon us.

Americans have grown fat and lazy while the nation has been taken over gradually by corporations. They have succumbed to slavery plain and simple. They would rather do with less that is provided for them, than to strive for more which they can keep for themselves or share with those truly in need.

The basic rights of the individual have been systematically replaced with permissions granted by the government. Public policy has replaced common law and common sense and logic. Look at how many nations that embraced communism, fascism, socialism, totalitarianism, have all failed to sustain them and eventually crumbled. From the mighty Roman Empire to the late U.S.S.R. history demonstrates that only when people remain free and the nation’s government limited can a nation prosper.

Perhaps we can survive another four years. I’m an not so confident that we can. We are on the edge of a precipice and we are not the only nation that faces crisis. We have become morally as well as financially bankrupt. We have become a People divided instead of united.

Perhaps as I have written in past, this great experiment is over and it failed. We will not have long to wait to find out!

The Results Are In: America Lost!


And so it came to pass, that the American people believed that the government was better equipped to care for their needs than they could themselves, and so when they were given the opportunity to stand on principles, they instead chose to shirk responsibility and hide behind the illusion of security.

Even after four years of broken promises and shattered dreams, they ignored common sense and logic. The emotional fervor that swept a little known young Senator into the Presidency in 2008 was replaced with an acceptance of fate.

When I first started writing about the elections to come back in 2010, it seemed that the most relevant issue was how the Republican Party was going to respond to the overwhelming support they received from the Tea Party, mostly independent voters who for the most part, were not pleased at all with how the Democratic President and his Congressional majority handled the debt crisis, the health care issue, and the joblessness in America.

A young Congressman, Paul Ryan won his seat on promises of no compromises regarding spending or debt ceiling increases, and yet even after his broken promises to the American taxpayers, he was selected as the running mate for a third-rate GOP nominee.

Even with widespread reports of vote fraud and delegate fraud by the Republican National Committee and many of the state committees, conservative Americans somehow held the belief that they could somehow topple the incumbent President simply by campaigning on negativity.

The American people can be fooled by the people they came to trust. The privately-owned major media was all in President Obama’s corner, never wavering their loyalty to a man who has underhandedly done more to obliterate the Constitution of the United States of America and the rule of law, than any President since Woodrow Wilson. Wilson of course signed the Federal Reserve Act which place the wealth of the American People in the hands of private banks. President Obama has shown himself to be one up on that by selling the wages of children and grandchildren to the banks even before they are born.

I have written many posts in these past two years outlining the danger and I have been ridiculed by some and simply dismissed by others. I have constantly read comments that Romney will beat Obama since he is the lesser of two evils. But when the majority of the People spoke, they were satisfied with the present evil and did not want to change to a man who consistently changed his own platform to suit the current trend.

After the Republican National Convention was over, an early GOP nominee dropout emerged as a third party choice. Gary Johnson became the Libertarian party candidate and began his campaign with Ron Paul’s ideology. His results did not hurt either of the party favorites although there are a few people who think that his support hurt Romney.

The thing that hurt Romney the most is Mitt Romney. He fell further from grace by selecting a running mate who had lied to the American People to get into office and whose budget and spending plans would take 30 years to show any improvement in the government.

Ron Paul supporters were even asked to back Romney after Dr. Paul was shunned by the GOP and pretty much locked out of a speaking role in Tampa. I for one did not feel I could back the man nor the party that exhibited such blatant disregard to ethics and the rule of law.

So now we face another four years of an Administration of secrecy instead of transparency, of legislation from appointed czars and directors instead of Representatives and Senators. It seems evident that America in heading towards its end. Liberty and rights are mocked by this President. He has blatantly shunned the rule of law, placed Americans abroad in grave danger, ruined any chance of an economic recovery in the foreseeable future, has made executive orders his method to take dictatorial control of this nation, while his supporters are praising him.

There are many dictators in history who ruined their countries by taking the same route to destruction as President Obama. And it seems the majority of Americans are either ignorant of history or just choose to ignore it.

Where will we be in four years? Will American be a sovereign nation or part of a global government? 


We will soon know!
