Politicians
Friends,
During the early part of last year's run-up to the primaries, I gave some information on why our country is headed down the tubes like a bullet. By the facts and law stated in the federal constitution, our current government is operating way outside the scope of their authority. The ONLY things the federal government is authorized to do is provide a secure national boundary, and regulate commerce between the States. They have NO other constitutional authority. President Reagan was going to get us out of the UN, abolish the depts of energy and education, and a myriad of other illegal bureaucracies, but could not get the congress to work with him. John Hinckley was a "wake-up call" from the power elite, for Reagan to drop it - HE DID. The American Family Association gathered some information recently, that indicated that only 5-10% of Americans WANT a constitutionally mandated federal government. The majority of Americans have traded their freedom and liberty for the government's "cradle-to-grave" insurance programs, subsidies, pensions, and numerous ILLEGAL "entitlements". Did you know that the vice-president's wife has a tax-payer funded staff of 5! Most of the congress has "staffers" and other little brainless minions, that DO NOTHING. Then, the bureaucracies, who are NOT elected, make rules and regulations, that carry the force of LAW! This is illegal, but the news mafia, bankers, and purveyors of political correctness, push the "global agenda" that is designed to destroy our republic, like it is what the PUBLIC wants. We need to get back to the CITIZEN LEGISLATORS, who MUST hold a normal job, and live and work in the SAME area as their constituents, not in Wash D.C. It would be a grand move also, to amend the constitution to limit ANY office holder to one(1) term, no matter HOW GOOD HE IS! Too many times, these "career politicians" get in office and establish "the old boys network," and then lose focus on WHO put them there and WHAT they're supposed to do. Here's a very good article on following the constitution, that the old "bear hunter" from Tennessee got stuck with, and it corrected his focus on serving the people:

RE: Politicians

The move is toward a socialistic, or more truthful, a communistic government, which is exactly what most liberal voters want. But when you mention the term "communist" to them, they shudder. Why? No, it's not because of what communism is, it is the negative connotations associated with it over the past 50-60 years. The fact fo the matter is, when given the definition of communism, without lableing it communism, they love it, maybe not socially, but most certainly economically. They want their cake and be able to eat it too.
Hey, let's face it, who wouldn't want to stay home and have the federal government give them everything they need to survive?
Give me break....
The constitution hasn't mattered to 80-90% of the population in over 50 years. Why? They don't want to get off their rear ends and take responsibility for themselves.
God help us,
Jim

RE: Politicians
The current administration, it's advisors, and the US Congress, thinks that we're going to build a soundly democratic society in Iraq using the Quran as a base! (McCain: "It might take 100 years") If you even remotely, believe this, you probably also trust the tooth-fairy, and believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Anyone thrilled with the mess in Washington, DC? Do you find yourself grieving over unending incompetence, dim-witted scandals, moronic rhetoric and hypocrisy cascading out of our nation’s capital daily?
Anyone excited about the activities of our U.S. Senate? How about the House of Representatives? Do you like Vice President Dick Cheney’s actions for the past seven years? Would you again vote for the bungling, if not lawless leadership, of President Bush?
Would you again choose 4,000 of our kids sacrificed in an endless, ludicrous and totally fabricated Iraq War? Is the carnage we provoked in Iraq worth destroying our national treasures: our youth, our moral standing in the world, our financial balance or our military?
In six years, what have we accomplished in Iraq? Answer: weekly killings, bombings, mayhem, chaos and millions of refugees. Our military destroyed a functioning society under one of dozens of similar dictators in the world.
At what cost? Answer: $600 billion and counting! $12 billion a month with no end in sight!
Are we safer from Islamic radicals? You answer that when our borders remain wide open to terrorism 24 hours a day! President Bush wouldn’t know a terrorist from an ice cream cone. Dick Cheney wouldn’t know an IED from a bag of popcorn.
What do the democrats and republicans deliver for the money we pay them to maintain our country? What proud accomplishments might they boast?
Do they pride themselves about their $700 billion trade deficit that they facilitate annually by doing nothing to stop it? Do they brag about the $9 trillion national debt they bequeathed upon our citizens for decades to come? Can they stand tall as they rebuild Iraq but watch Katrina-ravaged New Orleans slog through the unending rubble of devastated neighborhoods of our poorest Americans? Such profound incongruence!
How about 14 million unemployed Americans while 20 million illegal aliens depress and wreak havoc on our wages and jobs across America? How do they fabricate, “Illegal aliens do the jobs that Americans won’t do at slave wages….”
While we give billions of dollars to Iraq--and thousands of our soldiers’ lives, how can our President tolerate 1.3 million homeless people in America with 13 million children living below the poverty level?
While Bush sends 572,000 troops to 700 bases worldwide, how can he allow our borders to stand wide open to an invading armada of illegal aliens? How does it make sense to maintain 35,000 troops on Korea’s border, but not on our own?
Is it right for our Congress to force American taxpayers to shell out $338 billion dollars annually to pay for education, medical care, language translation, food, assisted housing and incarceration costs for people who broke our laws to enter our country and break our laws daily by remaining here? What rationale does the president use for his lack of upholding the U.S. Constitution?
Why would this Congress uphold and increase H-1B, H-2B, L-1 and many other visas that undermine and steal jobs away from millions of Americans? Why would those we elect to serve us enslave us? Why would they outsource, insource and offshore our jobs to third world countries in order to give our own corporations greater profits at the expense of our citizens?
The War on Drugs costs us $70 billion a year for the past 37 years, but drugs remain as available today as in 1971. Why does Congress ignore viable options while continuing to waste our money for its failed drug war?
We could address another dozen items ignored by our president and Congress: 80 percent of Americans want out of Iraq, 50 percent of black Americans that didn’t graduate from high school can’t find a job; 50 percent of American Hispanics and blacks drop out of high school, 50 percent of black and Hispanic teens have children out of wedlock and land in welfare lines; average American credit holder suffers a $9,240.00 balance; absence of national container recycle/deposit law to conserve resources; missing national energy policy; lack of water usage policy, shallow enforcement of our immigration laws, outright anarchy by employers of illegal aliens, mortgage foreclosures, national language usurped by immigrants, thousands of Americans killed by illegal aliens on our highways and in our homes, and the list goes on!
What’s at the base of this national trauma? Both republicans and democrats fail our country at the most profound level: integrity, common sense, reasoned solutions and actions! Reelection trumps unified efforts. Senators Obama, Clinton and McCain failed to address our most pressing problems in their years of service. The House of Representatives languishes in Abramoff scandals, Duke Cunningham $2.4 million bribes, Tom Delay money laundering and God only knows how many other payoffs and kickbacks continue under the radar.
At the beginning of the 21st century, republicans and democrats fail citizens of the United States of America. They undermine our jobs, our laws, our language, our safety and our Constitution. Both parties fail this republic. What’s worse? Based on their past track records, we may expect more of the same no matter whom we elect—without a 180 degree turn-around.
Americans long for that day and a candidate to meet countless challenges facing our republic. Let a third party candidate step up to serve with honor and accountability.
