Some days the sensory overload and incredulous news reports can get the best of even the most down to earth individual to the point that knee-jerk reactions happen and a tangent in the most absurd notions take hold and anger can bubble to boiling. It is on these days that I have written some of the most outrageous things ever that I am certainly thankful never got to print. In looking at news stories from all sorts of media outlets, it isn’t hard to see that the original principles of the founding of our government are taking more steps backward these days and sometimes being shoved out the window in favor of a more socialist, communist, Marxist, and progressive direction.
Below are some of the stories of late that lend themselves to scrutiny in asking the question, “Where are we headed?”
Deputy Director of Tennessee’s Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) Sherwin Smith stated complaints about water quality could be considered an act of terrorism.
Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) says posting pictures of wanted terrorists is racist.
The Treasury Department is stonewalling legislators on public funds spent on IRS swanky events.
The Obama Administration is planning to send arms to Syrian rebels unless blocked by Congress.
A small provision of the immigration bill provides requirement of a national ID card which Rand Paul opposes for a number of reasons.
The Obama phone program distributors provide phones to individuals claiming to sell the phones for drugs and handbags.
Millions of Americans oppose big government, intrusion of God-given rights, unconstitutional government agencies and the rampant lack of accountability of government to the people. Why are these voices not being heard? It is a simple one really and boils down to one word – the H- word.

When someone tells you that the Constitution is a “living document”,what they are really saying is that it is dead.
That's evidence there may have been theft!
A seconary issue was why is IRS so hard on everybody else when it comes to receipts and they, themselves, can't find them. I can see that coming in Tax Court as a defense ~
Just occurred to me, but.. Shouldn’t it be “Constitutionist” instead of “Constitutionalist”?
Conservatives need to throw these words back.
We need to talk about “libertyphobes” and “freedom haters.”
How sad. Within the first sentence the author tries to use a big word and talks flat on her face. It kind of makes it hard to take the rest of what she has to say seriously.
Go away. No “progressive” trolls allowed.
BTW, the phrase is “FALLS flat on one’s face”. Kind of like what you just did...

So you signed up, waited a few weeks, and that was your first post ever?
Are you sure you belong here?
Why do you smell of ozone?
Recent events here have caused me to become more than a little interested in the history of Nazi Germany.
That interest has drawn me to some of the films made of that sad period. “Schilndler’s List”, “Surviving Hitler”, “Sophie Scholl”, “Downfall”, “Auschwitz: Inside the Nazi State” and others.
But the film that jelled my alleged mind and brought me to this attempt to relate those events with what is happening here was “Der Letzte Zug” (“The Last Train”) depicting in excruciating detail the nearly week-long trip to Auschwitz of the last Jews forced from Berlin. Confined in sealed cattle cars with no food and water, they plotted largely futile escape attempts as, one-by-one, the weakest among them died.
As I watched, I sought to understand the common thread(s) that set them on a course to their premature graves at the hands of Hitler and his minions.
There were many.
One was the economic destruction of post WWI Germany by the Treaty of Versailles. Its punitive reparations made conditions ripe for the rise of the Nazi and their promises. In fact, some historians believe that Versailles was intentionally designed by those who profit from such activities to sow the seeds for Hitler and WWII. That is, however, a topic for another day.
Another element necessary for the Holocaust was Hitler’s disarmament of the civilian population. Though the compliant Germans allowed that disarmament to begin in 1919 and intensify in 1928, it became draconian when the Nazis took total control.
And, of course, the Antisemitism present then and now in Europe played a large role as most of their non-Jewish neighbors ignored the growing persecution that began in early 1933.
The historical Prussian mindset – of Jews and non-Jews alike – was to trust and obey those in charge of the state apparatus. It goes without saying that that is a more or less universal characteristic of populations living under “elected” governments. After the chaos of the Wiemar Republic, many of them saw Hitler as a savior, exacerbating the problem.
This brings me to THE element that I believe caused so many Jews to meekly submit to the homicidal madness: Their notion that, despite the rumors, whispers and, ultimately, the outright verbalization of that madness by their elected leaders, “THAT could never happen here”.
“THAT could never happen here” is perhaps the most dangerous phrase in ANY language – especially for us here in America at this time.
If you have been paying attention, you must see numerous parallels between Hitler’s Germany and Obama’s Amerika. (Misspelling intentional.)
Admit it or not, Obama, his minions and handlers are doing all they can to drive the unemployment rate higher, causing increasingly desperate men and woman to further swell government payrolls. Hitler put many desperate Germans into his Brown Shirts, SS, regular military, etc.
Though some of Obama’s supporters – the small numbers with functioning brains – are losing faith in him, a frightening number of them still “worship” him and would unquestioningly support just about anything he proposed if the “free” goodies keep coming their way and he assured them that only his – and their – enemies were to be “reeducated” or eliminated.
Fortunately for freedom here, Obama’s efforts to DISARM us have stalled – FOR NOW! All that is keeping him in check is his understanding that to make his final play before doing so would be to put his life and the lives of his inner circle and handlers at serious risk.
If you are STILL not convinced that this fellow has sinister plans for those who dare to oppose him, please view the short video at the link below. (For those with short memories, Bill Ayers is – despite Ayers’ comments about drones – STILL one of Obama’s closest associates and is believed to have authored Obama’s book). Ayers founded the Weather Underground mentioned in the video.
As you watch it, remember that when that meeting occurred, our population was approximately 250 million. 25 million would have represented 10%. Come forward to our current population of approximately 315 million and that 10% would equal 31.5 million of us.
That COULD explain the billions of hollow point bullets now being delivered to Big Sis and her cohorts at Faterlandt Security.

There people are as SERIOUS AS A HEART ATTACK!
But THAT could never happen here, right?
“Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and the Republic
for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened
once in 6,000 years, may not happen again.
Hold on to the
Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail,
there will be anarchy throughout the world.”
Daniel Webster
Most of us prefer the fixed election cycle, although the recall does add elements to the process otherwise found only in parliamentary systems.
Home Rule, so popular a couple of decades back has recently been pushed aside to unrestrict firearms! I'd bet most Freepers, if you asked them, preferred home rule and never realized what that was doing to the second amendment!
How wonderful!
“When someone tells you that the Constitution is a ‘living document’,what they are really saying is that it is dead.”
Exactly. A “living constitution” is meaningless.
