Petrified of Congress? Who isn't?

In all of our lifetimes - not since the threat of a Soviet atomic attack in the late 1950's - has the average US citizen lived his/her life in such overriding fear- in trepidation of our own Congress.

Can you think of anything more fright-inducing (politically) than cap 'n trade energy taxation, or government-controlled healthcare?

What could be more un-American, more unconstitutional (or more anti-competitive) than a useless tax on energy, or a welfare-supporting, wealth-transferring government insurance policy - just because our corrupt Congress wants it?

Who are these desperados anyway? Under which geological rock formation did these slimy reptiles emerge? And what can be done about them?

Such irony! Such disgrace! And such hubris! The 111th Congress has declared war on America's economy, and is taking no prisoners! 

(Quote) "In my many years I have come to a conclusion...That one useless man is a 
shame; two is a law firm; and three or more is a Congress.  John Adams (circa 1815).

(Quote) "No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is 
in session" - Mark Twain (1866)

Our constitutional Founders designed checks and balances as a safeguard - to limit power in any one branch of government. And the branch they feared most was the legislature.

Now the worst fears of the Founders have come to pass. 

On 9-12 we declared war on Islamic terrorists - but they only succeeded in destroying two skyscrapers.

While the enemy within -our Democratic Congress- has all but destroyed the entire US economy, starting from the day Speaker Nazi Pelosi grabbed the gavel, and declared "war" on America's $14 trillion annual economy- determined to whittle it down to its "proper size."

America's 111th Congress is moving at the speed of rampant socialism, out to rid taxpayers of their livelihoods, thus rendering them powerless to oppose them.

But where to begin? 

Initially, Pelosi and her Democratic allies in the House rammed through a massive, $787 billion dollar stimulus bill, without one Representative reading it.

Majority Leader Harry Reid forced it through the Senate, and anti-President Obama signed the travesty into law. To date, it has had no positive effect on the economy, and many economists predict grievous damage to the national debt over the long run.

Then the House passed a corrupt, bizarre, cap-and-trade law based solely on disputed "climate change" junk science, that will send energy prices soaring - costing the nation TRILLIONS of wasted dollars by 2020- and well beyond.

Again, not one Representative read the bill before it was voted on.

Congress now has both the young and old tossing & turning at night, worried about buying health insurance they do not either need, or WANT - all because of some marxist President's ideological whim.

Perhaps we should hire al-Quida to plant roadside bombs on Capitol Hill, before its too late: 

But all levity aside, the fundamental character of our 235 year old representative republic is about to be irreparably destroyed.

The actions of these mindless, far-left "progressive leaders" (closet communists)  represent the extreme antithesis of how the Founding Fathers wanted our country's legislature to operate.

Speaker Pelosi presents us with nothing less than irrational and nightmarish mob rule.

And on top of it all, ACORN may manage to steal the 2010 midterm elections, funded with 8 BILLION hidden dollars, courtesy of legislative amendments inserted by our greatest patriot, Barney Frank.

How much more will we take—how much more should we take—before we declare..."You've done ENOUGH harm!"

But the naive (e.g. the uninformed) still murmur in the dark, asking..."Why would  democrats do dis? Aren't dey da party of the workin' man? Why would congress pass laws to destroy our wunnerful country?

Well just read between the lines of your coloring book, simpleton.

The Capitol Hill democrats all march in lock fascist step-  they're plotting multi-decade control of all levers of government. But first - tax the rich to ruin, then kill the remaining economy; then once on their government breadlines, everyone's opposition quickly fades.

But not to worry; there's ready jobs available in Americorps- ACORN's new subdivision.

Just keep in mind Washington DC's first commandment..."Thou shalt not steal, until you've been elected to public office." Then it becomes acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens, and give it to the spongers- illegal immigrants, or those unmotivated to better their own lives.

Plus there's the gerrymandering of congressional districts (and biased media), generating  an entitled class of politicians, whose only attribute is pandering to every special interest group inside the Beltway - while skillfully lying to constituents back home.

Now add Congress' refusal to enforce election laws, then encourage ACORN's scheming fraudulent voter registrations: this equals a constant erosion of individual liberty, and the aggrandizement of power to those whose only virtue is either an ability to be elected - or the ability to corrupt those newly-elected.

And through all of this, our economy is being destroyed (e.g. bail-out money committed from all federal agencies now equals 24 TRILLION dollars) in order to create a failed, top-down economic system, benefiting the elite in government, while impoverishing everyone else.

"We the People" deserve who we vote for and elect. Congress’ average seat retention rate since 1955 is 95.4 PERCENT! By 2004, the retention rate stood at 96.3 percent. The dumbing-down of America via revisionist history - and lowered educational standards - is working beautifully.

Unfortunately, the common refrain is..."we keep re-electing these idiots."

But who are the real idiots?

The bulk of the American electorate has degenerated into idio-pathological stupidity. How else can we explain how Congress, with a 9% approval rating, is re-elected a 95% of the time. What could possibly be more imbecilic?

Basically, these democrats have a bulletproof re-election process, passed down from their unconscionable "ancestors."

All incumbents maintain an office (of propaganda) in home districts, staffed by liberal volunteers. But the incumbents are seldom around - out pocketing campaign funds from lobbyists; which buys airtime for the bi-annual media blitz.

Of course, they all enjoy a highly-supportive relationship with the local (liberal) newspaper, downplaying stories that profoundly impact constituent's lives (cap 'n trade), but printing front page stories about how local congressman Bandido is..."fighting for auto worker's pensions"...or..."is bringing home a $600,000 federal grant for park restoration," or some other insipid project, which creates zero jobs, but wields maximum PR effect.

Then - on the Sunday preceding every election - the local paper supports them with a ringing half-page endorsement in its editorial section.

Meanwhile, for the previous month on television, unrestricted, blatantly-negative campaign ads (mostly lies) are bought en-masse against any republican challenger, building up in intensity to Tuesday morning of election day.

Works every time. 

Now try these stats: Senate: As of 2008, of one hundred Senators, 39 (39%) have been re-elected for 18 yrs or more; and four, over 40 years. 

House: As of 2008, of 435 members, 143 (33%) were re-elected for fourteen years or more; and there were five others re-elected again over thirty-six years (18 consecutive terms). 

And the longer these sellouts are in office, the more of them run unopposed in future elections, since nobody will bother to challenge them. Unopposed House races have doubled in the last 20 years, from 40 to 80 seats. 

And the ever-increasing taxes we send to Washington basically assures we'll continue to fund our own economic undermining, courtesy of ..."The System."

Yep; just keep putting the same ol' liars back in Congress, where they can continue to get rich; then - as they get chauffeured to the bank - laugh about "all those stupid taxpayers in my home district."

But how much longer will America allow this to continue? We can do one of two things:

1) Shrug and say, "you can't fight city hall."

2) Organize a massive Washington tea party rally, ala Martin Luther King.

That's right all you patriots; ride busses together into DC on August 28th, the 46th anniversary of King's 1963 Freedom March on Washington, and declare; "We have a new dream...we will judge our congresspeople, not by the earmarks they deliver to our district, but by the content of their character!  No more dishonesty in our Halls of Congress!"

A nation whose people continually choose to forfeit honor in their nation's government, for the sake of earmarked projects in home districts, gets what it deserves- the most corrupt legislative body ever in world history.
