Obama nudges Wall Street: Maybe it’s time to panic over this debt-ceiling deadline

In 1776 and 1787, a new nation set its course by recognition of Divine Providence, Creator-endowed life, liberty, and rights, and a form of strictly-limited self-government under a written Constitution to protect "the People" and their property. According to Justice Storey, "the People" are the "only keepers of the Constitution."

That formula worked for over 200 years to secure freedom for oppressed people from all over the earth who fled the same kind of coercive, top-down rule by imperfect persons in government that is being imposed by both Parties in Washington today!

The arrogant, big government, "we-know-what's-best-for-you" atmosphere in Washington must be stopped if our grandchildren and great-grandchildren are to enjoy anything but rank slavery. It will not be stopped by a leader who is incapable of quickly recalling and articulating the foundation ideas of the Founders' formula.

Promises to do this and that, fast talk, and bashing the opponent are not going to relight the torch of freedom and restart the engine of opportunity and prosperity, nor are they going to inspire youth to dream great dreams and to be passionate about liberty for themselves and their posterity.

American youth need an intellectual giant whose ideas come from behind his eyeballs, not from a teleprompter in front of them. They need an inspirational leader whose passion for liberty is greater than his ego and self-perceived "achievements."

Those "patriot dreams" are not just words in a song. They were lived out by men who lost their fortunes, their families, and their own health and lives--just for us!

"Posterity: you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it." - John Quincy Adams

"The people have almost always expected to be served gratis, and to be paid for the honour of serving them; and their applauses and adorations are bestowed too often on artifices and tricks, on hypocrisy and superstition, on flattery, bribes, and largesses. It is no wonder then that democracies and democratical mixtures are annihilated all over Europe, except on a barren rock, a paltry fen, an inaccessible mountain, or an impenetrable forest. The people of England, to their immortal honour, are hitherto an exception; but, to the humiliation of human nature, they shew very often that they are like other men. The people in America have now the best opportunity, and the greatest trust, in their hands, that Providence ever committed to so small a number, since the transgression of the first pair: if they betray their trust, their guilt will merit even greater punishment than other nations have suffered, and the indignation of heaven. If there is one certain truth to be collected from the history of all ages, it is this: That the people's rights and liberties, and the democratical mixture in a constitution, can never be preserved without a strong executive, or, in other words, without separating the executive power from the legislative. If the executive power, or any considerable part of it, is left in the hands either of an aristocratical or a democratical assembly, it will corrupt the legislature as necessarily as rust corrupts iron, or as arsenic poisons the human body; and when the legislature is corrupted the people are undone." - John Adams, January, 1787

In 1839, John Quincy Adams was invited by the New York Historical Society to deliver the "Jubilee" Address honoring the 50th Anniversary of the Inauguration of George Washington. He delivered that lengthy discourse which should be read by all who love liberty, for it traced the history of the development of the ideas underlying and the actions leading to the establishment of the Constitution which structured the United States government. His 50th-year summation seems to be a better source for understanding the kind of government the Founders formed than those of recent historians and politicians. He addresses the ideas of "democracy" and "republic" throughout, but here are some of his concluding remarks:

"Every change of a President of the United States, has exhibited some variety of policy from that of his predecessor. In more than one case, the change has extended to political and even to moral principle; but the policy of the country has been fashioned far more by the influences of public opinion, and the prevailing humors in the two Houses of Congress, than by the judgment, the will, or the principles of the President of the United States. The President himself is no more than a representative of public opinion at the time of his election; and as public opinion is subject to great and frequent fluctuations, he must accommodate his policy to them; or the people will speedily give him a successor; or either House of Congress will effectually control his power. It is thus, and in no other sense that the Constitution of the United States is democratic - for the government of our country, instead of a Democracy the most simple, is the most complicated government on the face of the globe."

No doubt.

Obama's speech..."Clean-up on aisle seven"

[C210N]

Plus, unlike present company, Castro could REALLY throw a baseball.

[Colonel_Flagg]

He’s going to bypass the congress at some point; its just a matter of time.

Any EO on the budget -- and I do mean ANY EO -- should be immediate grounds for impeachment proceedings. He has absolutely no authority to circumvent any part of the Constitutionally mandated budget process.

Hark, the jackass brays.

Thanks, Onyx!

The few Obama Live Threads I have started cost me a long time to bleach out my “new posts to you” directory. Good luck!

[Sacajaweau]

by now, thousands have found out that obamacare is a rip off...just a moneygrab...

[tapatio]

He must have read new polls.

Interesting - were you able to understand what he was saying when you saw him (i.e. do you understand Spanish)? Did any of it make any sense - on any level?

[EBH]

It should cause an immediate tax revolt. If they won’t listen to the House, then we take back our purse.

[Eagle of Liberty]

I say we count how many digs he gets in to the FACTION of the Republican Party.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Geeez, I can’t seem to get my TV to come on.

[Sacajaweau]

He could care less...In two days, he’ll be off to China. Of course, he was there 6 months ago...so why again??

[BigEdLB]

WHITE BOXER! They are too nice... Good Boy!

[Colonel_Flagg]

It should cause an immediate tax revolt.

I think that's already happening. People I talk to are as mad as they've ever been, both about Obamacide and the situation liberals have created in our nation.
