The Double-D Strategy for Rescuing America

A friend of mine lives in Kona on the Big Island in Hawaii. He has a fishing boat which he proudly named the 44-DD after a spectacular feature of his wife's anatomy. This is not about that sort of Double-D.

While it may be difficult to keep your mind off what that spectacular feature might look like - just as it's hard to comply with the demand that you not think of a pink elephant - let's try and focus on a Double-D that can rescue our country from the clutches of the Fascist Democrat Party and the destruction being wrought upon it by President Zero.

So - what does this Double-D stand for? It's a strategy for any Republican wanting to get elected or re-elected to Congress in 2010, and for any Tea Partyer wanting to take individual action now against a government that ignores the Constitution. Double-D stands for Defund and Disobey.

Let's talk about the Defund D first. The Founders in their usual brilliance place the power of the purse in the House, whose members must face election every two years - for if they become profligate with this power the voters can throw them out within months (24 max) rather than wait years (6) like the Senate.

All Appropriation bills authorizing any branch of the federal government (legislative, judicial, executive) to spend any money for any program must be initiated in and passed by a majority of the House. The Senate can only agree or disagree, and the same with the President.

The obverse of this appropriation authority is that if the House doesn't authorize money for something, then no money can be spent on that something by anyone in the federal government.

In order for the strategy to work, the innocents have to be jailed and/or killed.

You left out that the oppressors must also have a conscience that can be stung by such injustice, which the British did have.

Jack Wheeler ping.

Thanks for the ping. Defund might work, if we can get enough Congress-critters to sign the pledge, but Disobey won’t work because laws will be enforced as they were in Ruby Ridge, Waco, and the Soviet Gulag.

[Interesting Times]

That depends on the scale of the disobedience.

[Political Junkie Too]

This is my definition of double D boobs.

That depends on the scale of the disobedience.

Perhaps if disobedience reached the scale of the use of alcohol during prohibition.
