It's Not About Turtles Folks!

4/15/2014

0 Comments

 
If you really believe that the standoff at Bundy ranch in Nevada has anything to do with turtles; then you will probably be wasting your time by reading this article!  That being the case; you probably also are expecting the Easter Bunny to show up soon as well!   By now, if you don’t know that the cat has been let out of the bag; there probably isn’t much I can do to explain to you what is really going on!

Here’s what I think is really going on!  There are several things in progress here!  First and foremost; Senator Harry Reid is using his power as a US senator from Nevada to help his son pull off a land grab for his deal with the Chinese to build a $olar farm in the middle of the desert!  So much for the “protecting the turtles” claim by the Bureau of Land Management (aka BLM)! Did you catch that $ in solar!  Yes, it was intentional; not a typo!  That’s what it’s all about ($$$$$$$$$$), Billions of them!

Secondly, (and no less important) this is an opportunity for our New King Barak and his cronies in Congress to provoke enough citizen anger and resistance that they can come up with some lame excuse to declare “martial law”!  They’ve been looking for an excuse ever since his first term in office!

Third, this is their test case!  Who will standup and how many?  Will the American people go along to get along (like most of our Congress)?  Will the American people remain silent or rise to the occasion and just say NO? 

One of those questions has been answered by the response of militias from around the country!  The only questions that remain to be answered are; will most of the American people standup and stand behind and support the militia, when is enough, and will they remain silent and let government tranny rule the day?   

Those questions, only time will answer!  “WE the people” are the only ones who can answer them! 

Thomas Jefferson accurately described our current situation well over 200 years before it happened when he said the words below:

"An elective despotism was not the government we fought for, but one which should not only be founded on true free principles, but in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among general bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others."

Thomas Jefferson


"The greatest calamity which could befall us would be submission to a government of unlimited powers." - Thomas Jefferson

In short, our dilemma is that “elective despotism” and that “government of unlimited powers’ that Jefferson spoke of!  The answer to our dilemma came from Samuel Adams when he said the words below!


"If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." 
Samuel Adams
    

The biggest question of all; how many patriots will answer the call and what is your answer?

  Agree or disagree!  We welcome your comments!

A Convention of States; Good or Bad?

4/9/2014

0 Comments

 
Do we really a Convention of States (aka, A Constitutional Convention)?  Many believe we do! They contend that we must have a balanced budget Amendment among other changes as well!  Of course there are those who oppose it; saying it puts our "Constitution at risk" because they fear a “runaway convention”!  Many articles have appeared in recent months on both sides of the debate!

“For what it’s worth”, I for one think it is a good thing! I believe that it is the only way we will ever rein in government spending, eliminate huge deficits and put our country’s financial house back in order!  If you consider the current administrations’ out of control policies and the current Congress’ inability or lack of will to control our deficits; there would seem to be little choice in the actions available to “we the people”!

Not only do we need to gain control of our finances; we need to address the problem of making all three branches of our government (Executive, Legislative & Judicial) directly accountable to “we the people”!  That has been evidenced by many of the recent decisions handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court Justices!

I believe the method of choosing Supreme Court Justices was one of the few, but probably the biggest mistake the Founding Fathers made; “lifetime terms” being the worst portion of that mistake!  They must be made accountable to “we the people” and not the servants of the ones who appoint them!

It was well known, at the time of the first Constitutional Convention that Thomas Jefferson was against giving the SCOTUS the final say on the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress!  Apparently, Jefferson was spot on in his thinking (as usual, in my opinion) and has been proven correct, especially in recent years!

The SCOTUS, in light of appointments over the last few years, has become nothing more than a method of imposing a particular political philosophy on “we the people”; an extension of the POTUS from which their appointments come!  That to me is unacceptable and must be addressed!

Jefferson accurately described our current situation well over 200 years before it happened when he said the words below:

"An elective despotism was not the government we fought for, but one which should not only be founded on true free principles, but in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among general bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others."

Thomas Jefferson


"The greatest calamity which could befall us would be submission to a government of unlimited powers." - Thomas Jefferson

In short, what we have currently is that “elective despotism” and that “government of unlimited powers’ that Jefferson spoke of!  I could go on and on, but suffice to say what I said at the outset of this article; I believe a “Convention of States’ is a good thing and I would add to that, it is a necessary thing at this point in our history! 

In summation, “Huston we have a problem” and a “Constitutional Convention” is the only way to fix it!  I believe the "risk" of a convention is one that must be taken! 

Agree or disagree!  We welcome your comments!
