Will The Last American Please Turn Off The Light When He Leaves

Four things happened last week – the week before our country’s 236th birthday – that illustrate America’s rapid descent and call into question how many 4th of Julys we have left.

One – Chief Justice John Roberts betrayed the Constitution and America by joining the Gang of Four (the Supreme Court’s hard left bloc) to uphold Obamacare, under Congress’ power to tax. Thanks to Roberts, in the future, Washington can compel us to do virtually anything – buy hybrid cars, stop eating fatty foods, put solar panels on our houses. All it has to do to make it pass constitutional muster is to threaten to fine us. Since a fine is now a tax, voila it falls under Congress’ taxing power.

Two – In an interview with NPR, Marine Commandant Gen. James Amos (the only service chief who publicly opposed repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell) said if a homosexual Marine wanted to bring his “partner” to a Marine Corps ball, “I’m fine with it.” From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of LGBT?

Three – Attorney General Eric Holder became the first sitting member of a president’s cabinet to be held in contempt of Congress, for trying to cover up Fast and Furious, the operation where the BATF provided 2,500 guns to Mexican drug cartels to prove that we need tighter gun control. The guns were used to commit 200 murders in Mexico, as well as the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol Agent.

Four – The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) urged its local offices to have parties to encourage more people to sign up for food stamps. (“Throw a great party. Host a special event where people mix and mingle!”) SNAP is also spending $2.5 million for radio ads, to encourage more dependency.

.....Given how far gone we are, is there any reason to keep fighting?

At the dedication of a cemetery at the Civil War’s bloodiest battlefield, Lincoln urged the citizens of a war-weary Union to stay the course (“that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion”). Therefore, “We highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.”

Do we want all of our war dead – from Bunker Hill to Kabul – to have died in vain? Will the sacrifices of our veterans, of the Pilgrims, the pioneers, and those who labored on farms and sweated in factories mean nothing in the long-run? Are we to give up without a fight because our future looks increasingly dim – due to the dimwits in public office and the sheep who put them there?

If so, then, as Mr. Lincoln prophesied, the American idea of one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all surely will “perish from this earth,” and humanity will enter a Dark Age more savage and terrifying than the one which followed the fall of Rome.

The whole federal government experiment has failed with fedgov over-expanding. I think it just needs to be abolished. It's not like we actually need it for anything.

What makes you think the lights will even be working when
that time comes?

If it comes to past, then likely the last American will die
looking down his rifle barrel, in some foxhole, on a
distant ridgeline, in middle America.

Our States have it within their power to do the same to the
Sixteenth Amendment. When that happens, the Federal
Beast will have been effectively CAGED!

You’d better believe nobody’s going to be allowed to leave.

Every Utopia needs large number of slaves/workers to serve the Master Class. Problem is most Leftist thought himself/herself “the enlightened one”.

I think it just needs to be ignored until it goes away.

Been doing my part! ;)

Well, except for signing a three year mineral lease recently. And I wouldn't have done that except for my fear that the economy is gone soon.

"is there any reason to keep fighting"

Should Obama be reelected imagine your heart on that day and be geared to confront the ABR crowd.

To the ABR crowd.. the crowd that fancies their pride to be principle.. save your fetid breath and your nauseating rationalizations. Every one on this board is aware of who Romney is. You don't have special knowledge nor unique insight. Just do what you do and then be ready to go to hell.

100% on target! This ruling is a disaster with no silver lining at all. F that whore of a Chief Justice.

Buck up!! We ain't done as long as we have the Second Amendment. Tomorrow is the 236th. anniversary of the founding of The United States of AMERICA!! , not the celebration of what a punk-ass, bullsh!t spewing Chicago political thug thinks he got away with. BY God there has got to be SOME way to make these a-hole politicians start wetting their drawers. Short of bloodshed, take a page from the Occupy crowd, and I don't mean crap on police cars or trash a Starbucks. They call us ''right-wing extremists even if we all behaved like Caspar Milquetoast, so what? Lets call on the Tea Party, us Freepers, you, me , all of us to start getting tough, let them know we're losing patience. God Bless America and Happy Fourth of July.

C’mon now! First you remind me about the transgender law, then this, and the Sox just got beat in the bottom of the ninth in Oakland. This fourth is certainly not off to a great start! Only happy posts the rest of the day, huh?

We have a pResident that went to the United Nations with a complaint against the State of Arizona. I would never doubt that if he needed to he’d request the UN to fly missions over middle America. I could see the day when Russian and Chinese jets fly over us to help maintain control. Obama is like that.

Well said.

I’m 60 years old. I’m ready to die on my feet to uphold freedom. I will not live on my knees to serve the spawns of satan who inhabit the fetid swamp of our feral goobermint.

They’ll eventually get me but I’ll take some of them with me. I’m P!SSED.

FREEDOM!!!

He basically gutted Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl 1 by uncoupling it from any power enumerated in the rest of Art. I, Sec. 8.

"Put simply, Congress may tax and spend. This grant gives the Federal Government considerable influence even in areas where it cannot directly regulate. The Federal Government may enact a tax on an activity that it cannot authorize, forbid, or otherwise control." --J Roberts

With any luck he'll stay abroad until January, then resign or be impeached.
