Stop the Federal Usurpation

Time to tell Washington to STFU - Stop The Federal Usurpation. Federal usurpation of individual state rights continues to erode and to limit the ability of state governments to operate according to their own citizen's directives. Since, as the original intent of the Constitution directed, the best government is one which governs closer to the people and Federal Usurpation is the greatest threat we face today, it is time to tell Washington to STFU.

A coup d'état (pronounced /ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/, us dict: kōō′·dā·tâ′), or coup for short, is the sudden unconstitutional deposition of a legitimate government, usually by a small group of the existing state establishment — typically the military — to replace the deposed government with another, either civil or military. A coup d’état succeeds when the usurpers establish their legitimacy if the attacked government fail to thwart them, by allowing their (strategic, tactical, political) consolidation and then receiving the deposed government’s surrender; or the acquiescence of the populace and the non-participant military forces.

Typically, a coup d’état uses the extant government’s power to assume political control of the country. In Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook, military historian Edward Luttwak says: "A coup consists of the infiltration of a small, but critical, segment of the state apparatus, which is then used to displace the government from its control of the remainder”, thus, armed force (either military or paramilitary) is not a defining feature of a coup d’État.

Be not that far from me, for trouble is near; haste Thee to help me. Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight. My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

This and the “fairness” doctrine were the main tools that leftists use to push their anti-capitalist, pro-communist agendas. They’re squealing like stuck pigs because now all these industries (PEOPLE!) they’ve been demonizing over the years get to fight back.

The Founding Fathers probably never smiled when they were alive. And it’s been downhill for the republic since then.

SCOTUS is well aware that 0bama is unlawfully in the White House.

Y’all recall back when Bush was President and he called a lot of independent talk radio hosts and media representatives for a “secret meeting?” I think it was right after the election.

Listen to this . . . http://www.blogtalkradio.com/askshow/2009/10/09/the-andrea-shea-king-show . . . just over an hour into the show, Charles Kershner explains WHY.

I won’t force you to listen . . . President Bush told Rush Limbaugh and the others NOT EVER to mention the Birth Certificate Question . . . yes, Rupert told his crew, too, which is why no one on FOX will investigate. President Bush’s reasoning . . . it would cause unimaginable riots.

Better then than now, but President Bush had no idea how unqualified 0bama is and how little 0bama regards the job. All 0bama wanted was the glory, the freebies, the jet planes. He didn’t know he was actually going to have to WORK!

The left fails to realize that indeed, suppressing the right of people to use their resources to communicate their views is a gross suppression of the First Amendment. Wealthy people have always had more influence than the poor. Don't like it? Earn money and use it however you see fit.

It was after all, one of the very wealthiest of our founders that boldly asserted his views toward the crown in his mere signature...

...The modern leftist would roundly criticize him for using more signing space than less wealthy signatories.

There are plenty of left leaning corps out there we see no complaints about those only the hypothetical right wing ones.

--Obama’s Justice Department. During argument, the Obama administration’s lawyer, Solicitor General Elena Kagan, made extravagant claims about the extent to which government can censor its critics, outlawing books, movies, and other methods of informing the public. Olson pushed back hard, pointing to the terrible power that this part of BCRA gives the government against private citizens banding together to speak out during election season.--

Elena Kagan, Obamas pick for supreme court. He wants to find a way around this law.
