The 28th Amendment to the Constitution

The 28th Amendment to the Constitution has been proposed, and it's a good one. All 47 Republicans in the Senate have signed on to support a Constitutional amendment that would fix the financial problems in the country from getting any worse -- overnight.

The biggest aspect of the amendment states that the federal government can spend only 18% of the nation's GDP unless a declaration of war has been made. This by itself is huge in that it would immediately reduce government spending from the outrageous rate of 25% of GDP that it is now under Obama, to 18% .. lower than it was during the Bush Administration.

Other aspects of the amendment include needing super majorities of Congress to raise taxes and the debt limit, requiring Congress to balance the budget and the President to submit a balanced budget. This amendment will finally force the spendaholics to put a finite amount of money where it is needed most -- prioritize in other words -- just like we have to do in the real world. And since there's a cap on spending, statist "liberals" will not be able to balance the budget by increasing taxes and spending at the same time -- they can only spend a set amount of money per fiscal year.

It's nice to see the new Senators like Mike Lee and Rand Paul getting a coherent solution put together and supported. Of course this is a long way from being approved -- super majorities of the Senate and House have to approve the amendment before it is sent out to be ratified by the States. The good news however is, since so many State Legislatures were taken over by Republicans in the 2010 race, if the amendment can get out of Congress then it is almost assuredly going to be ratified.

Still a big if -- but it's just the beginning of gathering support for this. If statist "liberals" refuse to go along -- which they undoubtedly will -- they will have to be exposed and further voted out until this thing is passed. This has to be made the top priority and campaign issue alongside the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. This political one-two punch to the statist "liberals" will be the combination to knock them out of power and get the financial health of this nation turned around in short order.

Does the law mean anything today?

Yesterday a federal judge in Florida hearing the lawsuit by 26 states against what everyone now calls "Obamacare" ruled that the individual mandate is unconstitutional. He went further, taking the government's argument that without the mandate the law was unimplementable and agreed thereby throwing out the entire law and issuing a de facto injunction against implementation.

However, not hours later did the regime already show its condescension for the law by attempting to justify its intent to defy the court. The regime's only course of action is to comply with the ruling until they appeal. This is not the Third World where the dictator trashes a so-called independent judiciary and over rules them. This isn't a democracy where you can say the people don't agree. This is a republic where each branch of government has checks and balances against each other and if the democrats want to over rule the judicial ruling without appealing then their only option is to start over and rewrite the legislation and make it legal under the Constitution.

If Obama and his minions take any other path than the two mentioned above, it's time to drag this regime before that court and declare them in contempt and once done, remove them from office through the allowed Constitutional process. This is not a game folks. These are serious transgressions against the republic and Constitution and puts our freedom in a precarious state. It cannot be tolerated by any president not matter who they are or what label or mantle they wear.

Otherwise the law means nothing anymore, and we see in Tunisia, Egypt and other places, past and present what results. And the United States of America is better than that; the people are better than that, and the rule of law must be respected.

Here We Go

So it begins. The United States has become just like the rest of the Socialist West. The entire political debate from now on will be centered around this disaster that is national health care. Every election will now be about first repealing it, then, if and when that fails, how to "fix" all the problems this monstrosity is going to cause.

Next up: legalizing all illegals so they can suck on this newly grown government teat, let them get legal jobs, so millions more illegals can come take the underground jobs they leave behind.

The slope this country has been sliding down to hell on has just gotten a lot steeper.

November is going to determine a lot. Unfortunately the road to getting rid of this monstrosity will involve getting a majority in the House, 60 votes in the Senate, and the Presidency as well. I'm not holding my breath for the courts to stop this nightmare.

Obama: Washington Obessessed with Polls and Politics

You know, this is one of the many things that progressives says that sounds great until you actually deconstruct what it really means.

Newsflash: Politicians need to be worried about what the polls say in a Republic because politicians answer to the people. As Obama continues to push his party to ignore polls and what people really want or don't want, he is pushing the dictator's view that what the dictator thinks is best is what needs to happen, and damn the people and what they think. In Obamaworld polls wouldn't matter because he would be a dictator imposing all his ideological policies on us without us having a say in it at all.

In a representative republic, you don't get to muscle your agenda through against the will of the people and not pay the consequences come election time. Ideologues like Obama don't give a rat's behind about any of that. It's all about getting their agenda pushed through whether 50% of people support it or 10% do.

So this is what we are facing today. An out of control government led by a dictator wannabe. Does is stop with this particular piece of legislation? Of course not. What's next is what should really give you nightmares.

On the Massachusetts Senate Election

I've been enjoying the past week or so. Enjoying watching the liberals in full panic mode and having to spend precious time and resources fighting for a Senate seat that a few months ago everyone was giving to the Democrats without so much as a second thought. Watching this true panic in a bastion of clone factories that turn out Marxist-liberal drones on an assembly line is both amazing and fun at the same time.

Recent polls have shown that the Republican candidate, State Senator Scott Brown, is leading 50-46. He's been campaigning on being the 41st vote to hold up a Republican filibuster on Obamacare, Cap&Tax, and other Marxist agendas of this president. Looks like being the "Party of No" is resonating quite well with the voters when it comes to saying no to Marxism in the US. The significance of this race is that Brown could be decisive in stopping this monstrosity from becoming law at all if he wins and can get sworn in before the conference bill is completed.

Even if he doesn't win, this bodes well for the November elections. If a Republican can make a race out a seat in the liberal capital of the East Coast, then Democrats are in for a rude awakening all around the country.

You're Against Government Run Healthcare?

Then you're not just a racist. You're a racist misogynist too. And it must be true because that genius Harry Reid says so.

In a statement that compared people who are against things like a mathematical formula that puts a monetary value on a human life depending on how healthy you are or what kind of disabilities you may have with people against ending the slave trade and allowing women the right to vote. Historically of course, it was the Democratic party that was against ending segregation and civil rights, but anyone smart enough to come here to read this already knows that.

I don't know about you, but it seems to me, logically that stance hasn't changed much. Except now the Democrats are for discriminating against people with disabilities and other conditions with pushing this government run health care with the built in formula for determining who gets care and who doesn't. Yes, the famous death panels, or rationing of care. It's funny how easy it is to see through the lies and rhetoric when you actually pay attention and use logic to deconstruct what is said and what actually is written in these bills, isn't it?

Still Alive and Kicking...

Haven't posted here since Election night, but I haven't been carted off by the same people that are trying to suppress our right to voice our opposition. I've just been engaging people around me in person rather than spending the time on here. Between that and keeping up with the daily new things this administration is throwing at us is almost a full time job in itself.

Everybody has been talking about the decision to bring those confessed terrorists to trail in the States. I don't think I need to say anything more, as any sane person knows this is a mistake, and turns historical precedent of prosecuting acts of war on its head. But of course that's what this administration is all about. Doing things exactly the opposite of how they've always been done. Because they say so.

But what really caught my eye this past week was a statistic. It was the fact that only about 8% of private sector workers are now unionized. This compares to almost 33% of government workers. When you find this out, you realize exactly why the union bosses have thrown in with the Democrats. Union bosses fill their coffers with dues, and if government workers are more unionized than private sector, then it makes sense to get in bed with the party of government, doesn't it? Screw over the private sector, promote government takeovers (health industry, automotive industry), get more members, then they can fill their coffers even more, give more money to the liberals, get them elected more and more, and the cycle starts to resemble that spiral of dirty bathwater going down the drain. Too bad it's the country going down the drain and not liberals and their policies once and for all....

More Legislative Insanity on Health Care

Do Democrats know the meaning of the saying the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? I don't think they do.

Now Senator Max Baucus has proposed levying fees against insurance companies to help pay for "reform". As usual, this is playing to the class envy that people who do not know what personal responsibility is in order to garner support for an idiotic idea.

After all you liberals are done cheering "down with insurance companies! They should pay!", tell me this: Do you really think that insurance companies are just going to suck it up and pay this "fee"? For those of us that live in the real world we know the answer is no. They will raise premiums even higher to recoup the lost money thereby showing once again why government intervention and regulation RAISES costs instead of lowering them.

Yet people keep on supporting government involvement in everything then wonder why costs are going up. Oh yeah. It's those greedy bastard big corporations that raise rates for no good reason other than because they want more people to not be able to afford their product, then get blamed for it and have to pay a fee in order to help pay for those people who can't afford their product and then... well just go back to the beginning and keep reading this until you keel over and die because it's a never-ending loop. And unlike government, I have important things to do and can't sit here typing that over and over again.

It's time to wake up to the real people responsible for expensive health care: regulation-happy politicians and trial lawyers. Stop allowing these blowhard politicians to raise your costs, then turn around five years later and point the finger at somebody else.

And on top of that he also wants to fine you thousands of dollars if you don't have health insurance. I'm sorry, when did the Constitution give you the right to tell me what to buy and what not to? Yet they keep saying this "health care reform" isn't government takeover and intrusion into our lives and freedoms. Right.
