Ah, but here's the thing: appearance is not reality.
The media are especially good at presenting appearance instead of reality; let's leave aside labels like Democrat and Republican, conservative and liberal for a moment and look at underlying values. The average American actually does value real justice*, the courts and legislature have proven to be anything but just though — from asset forfeiture to [police] "qualified immunity" to exempt classes of persons [eg the ACA] we see that there is no justice.
The media portray things as if everything is more unified than it is, they push the narrative
(e.g. anthropogenic global warming) which says essentially this:
“Fear is freedom! Subjugation is liberation! Contradiction is truth! Those are the facts of this world! And you will all surrender to them, you pigs in human clothing!”
* -- Now, granted, people will have their own particular interpretation. But even a LOT of democrats will agree that "social justice" without real justice is just social. (i.e. stealing from one person to give to another is not just.) And remember, this is even after running through the indoctrination centers known as public schools.
An interesting proposition, namely for the impossibility thereof.
You see, Treason is defined in the Constitution:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.What you are proposing is that the act of voting itself can be cause for Treason.
Moreover, voting is essentially the only way that the average American has to influence his government — to make his safe exercise of this right dependent on any other is to invalidate his one act of sovereignty
and make its validity dependent on the whims of another. (Which, incidentally, is why I hate the infinite-recount doctrine
where the government keeps recounting until its desired outcome is achieved.)
Am I saying that Presidents and congressmen should get a free ride? -- no! far from it. They should be held to account for their own actions.
Consider a moment his opposition
:
McCain in 2008
Romney in 2012
Do you honestly think that either of those would be for a Constitutionally limited government?
(Consider McCain is co-sponsor of McCain-Feingold and Romney father of RomneyCare.)
I think it's a bit more than just Obama was hand-picked
, but that both times both candidates were hand-picked.
Cui bono?
Pelosi signed the document allowing this imposter in
A system engineer once described system writing as being like "Looking at a mountain through a straw". I think that's a pretty similar idea ;-)
As should the voters when they knowingly give aid and comfort to the enemy by supporting and voting for traitors.
Excellent reply OWS, thank you.
I agree, we are in the first phase as the infrastructure for the rule of anti-Christ is now in place. The cell phone grid world-wide will be sufficient to track just about everyone when they get used to ‘phone in feed back from the implants which will be required for ANY transactions ‘buy and sell’. Zbigniew Bzezinsky has lusted for the ability to control the world ever since he and David Rockefeller started the Trilateral. Now the infrastructure has taken shape to do it.
Oh they are about to be ‘held accountable’ but not by the laws and Constitution. The collapse of the American eceonomy will usher in chaos unimagined by the fools who have embraced the Bzezinsky Technocratic Age. Starvation and urban warfare will be a tough lesson for them as they are murdered for a can of beans. And then they will have to answer to God for their treachery against the alive unborn, etc.
Hm, what about those that re-elected Boehner? What about those that re-elected McCain?
Just because they have an (R) next to their name does not mean that they aren't knowingly giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
The GOPe has its own set of problems.
Such a question presumes you concede that voters knowingly gave aid and comfort to the enemy by supporting and voting for Traitorobama, and that now you want to carry that argument to those who voted for the specified RINOs.
In that sense your question is certainly legitimate given some of the previous actions of RINOs Boehner and McCain. The fact that one votes for Republican party candidates does not excuse accountability. Of course, in addition to a discussion on whether or not such voters (and such RINO politicians) have acted in a way that gives aid and comfort to the enemy, the voters have elected men who have acted in their office in ways that burden the U.S. and such men should not be re-elected to the House or Senate.
WTF?
That is Caskill's baby now and is keeping that notion alive and well. She just happened to have been one of the 6 senators on the SR 511 committee (along with Hillary and the usurper) who vetted McCain. They discussed it with Homeland Security Chertoff and signed their names to the definition of two US citizen parents and born on US soil for NBC. Note the usurper was never vetted and the details of the discussion are disappearing. Even many on FR won't speak about it.
Hmm, I do believe that is from an old post of mine. Well, at least someone read it and remembered it.
That could account for the flurry of proposed amendments proposed around then, as much as any hope of putting an obscure Kenyan-American in the White House.
While Obama was hand-picked in the sense that he was asked to run by Harry Reid, still, Hillary was a pretty large obstacle to get around.
Not what I want in my Easter basket.
Thank you.
It amazes me at how many “conservatives” will refuse to set aside “us vs. them” mentalities and, as that post shows, stand with fellow citizens against intolerable injustices.
Maybe he was an a$$ki$$er.
