(QUOTE) "The majority, oppressing the individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest, breaks up the foundations of society." --Thomas Jefferson, 1816.
And merely 193 years later, Jefferson's caveat now rings true:
An outlaw congressional majority - hell bent to destroy the very foundations of society- now reigns over Capitol Hill.
Even a gifted visionary like Jefferson could've never imagined mob rule in Congress, in arrogant defiance of hapless constituents back home.
Fear is the most powerful motivator; but strangely, to this 111th Congress, they seem to fear no one - even incensed people who could vote them from office.
Something bizarre- something unprecedented in our history - is at work here: But what?
When Congress no longer exercises the will of the people, they have, in effect, rendered the Constitution irrelevant.
Our Founders designed the federal government so that the PEOPLE - not Congress - would be important; going to great lengths to safeguard against excessive taxation, and protect individual freedoms. But above all, they intended that government would leave the individual ALONE.
But now, through some fluke of time- and the idiocy of our electorate- we are witness to the most tyrannical throng of autocrats Washington has ever seen.
Connivers...gangsters...liars...traitors. Indeed, these are aptly descriptive of the majority of those who "serve the people" in this 111th, criminally-insane Congress.
Instead of Congress fearing their constituents, we have constituents who fear their Congress.
In the brief span of but 150 days, they have passed/proposed laws that will not only bankrupt our country, debase our currency, but will trample the Constitution itself.
Laws that not even Niccolo Machiavelli himself could have dreamed up.
Laws designed to destroy the wealth of the upper classes, and prostrate them all under the heel of an out-of-control federal government.
Their mindless cap 'n trade law will eventually render tens of millions to the unemployment line. Big Brother socialization of medicine will undermine the happiness and integrity of many millions of lives.
But still Congress presses onward - oblivious to the protests from their districts back home.
With 256 democratic seats in the House, and 60 in the Senate, the common people are but bugs on the windshield of the Obama/ Reid/Pelosi road grader; a triumvirate of desperados that will stop nothing short of instituting full socialism within the United States.
Their unconstitutional actions and power grabs - abetted by our 111th Congress - are unprecedented in all of American history.
Even the socialist measures of Franklin Roosevelt (and his Congress of the Great Depression) pale in comparison to what these maniacal fascists are out to accomplish.
Pelosi & Reid, each with their idea of securing perpetual power for the Democratic Party, do so for their own self-aggrandizement. And on the heels of all this, is a sycophantic, admiring, throne-sniffing Congress.
As these majority leaders delegate public funds toward buying individual votes in Congress, they sign not only the death warrant of our representative republic, but the economy as well.
With carbon taxes on energy, and "cradle to the grave" socialized medicine, the future monstrosity our government creates will inevitably enslave us, and impose upon our children unsustainable debt - sure to render them poverty-stricken as well.
And once we've been stripped of our earnings (and savings), resistance will become futile: workers may all end up in welfare lines, dependent on a monthly Obama check. This will indeed be their fate, should Congress continue to act in blind obedience to their blackhearted masters.
If voters re-elect these incumbents (as they are likely to do), we can only hope there will still be something remaining of America, once Obama/ Reid/ Pelosi - and our 111th Congress- are done trying to destroy it.
Any questions?
