WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES

Sometimes, as I am reading through other political blogs, I come across comments from people who are able to articulate my own views and frustrations very well.....so well that I want to collect them to remind myself that there are others out there in cyberland who know, as I do, that the Democrats and Obama represent the lowest of the low that have ever walked in the halls of our government. I say "represent" because they aren't the first, but just the latest in a string of communist / leftist / socialist / fascist / progressive diabolical thugs who want nothing but to over-throw the Constitution of the United States of America.

That said, here is a comment I bring to you from a guy named James who wrote on the American Thinker site:

"The whole agenda behind the Health Care Reform Bill, is not better health care, the real purpose is to transfer people’s hard earned money to the power elite in DC and big corporations, The working poor will be obligated by force of law to buy health insurance they do not want and cannot afford or pay a fine and go to jail. Medicare will be slashed which will turn Seniors into second class citizens when it comes to health care. The whole bill is a huge tax on the middle class with no concomitant benefit. The Bill is riddled with back room dirty deals that maggot like politicians who feed on the body politic are hatching under the cover of darkness. The polls already show the majority of the pubic are against this bill. Remember the draft? that wasn’t even a universal mandate. This Bill will impoverish Americans and turn them into slaves of State. The Democrats who are ignoring the will of the people all must go. They are all scum and should be driven out of office."

Well said. I am only somewhat comforted to know that there are a lot of people in this country who feel as strongly as I do on the subject. Small comforts are at least something in a world of bad bad bad news.

NO LEGAL CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY

Just one more thing today...I keep trying to remind people that there is no legal authority for the Federal Government to involve itself into our health care. I get the 'eyes glazed over' look from people who either don't care or have no idea if the Constitution is allowing Obama or any other administration to mandate our health care. Clueless. I find this so frustrating. First, that any citizen of the U. S. is so unaware of their own liberties that they don't understand what is at stake here. And secondly, it is obvious that Congress has become so drunk with power and Obama is so arrogant that they are going to throw this down our throats whether they have the legal authority or not. So they certainly don't care. And if we don't care...where is the stop-gap?? You can bet the Justice Dept. won't stop them....with Eric Holder in Obama's back pocket, there won't be justice for the foreseeable future. And the Judiciary Branch is controlled by the Justice Dept. so we have no recourse there. So there went three branches of government that are hell-bent to throw away the most precious of our liberties, the freedom to control our own lives / persons / bodies.

The only thing left is State Sovereignty. If you can get your state to declare its rightful sovereignty, allowing no Federal Mandates to enter the state, then there may be a small chance to thwart this plot. Good luck with that. I believe Texas has either done that or is in process. And I think there may be a couple of other states doing this...Georgia being one of them.

Anyway.....here is the bottom line. NO LEGAL AUTHORITY!!
Here is the definitive explanation...Please read below: Mark J. Fitzgibbons from American Thinker

Mark J. Fitzgibbons

"In his September 9 address to Congress and the nation on health insurance, President Obama said that under his plan, individuals will be required to carry basic health insurance.

There is no clause in Article I of the Constitution authorizing Congress to craft legislation forcing individuals to purchase insurance.

Mr. Obama attempted to justify his intended federal intrusion on individual liberty by noting that states require drivers to carry auto insurance. Notwithstanding the difference between a requirement imposed on licensed individuals or machines as opposed to a mandate for everyone, he fails to recognize the distinction between federal and state powers. James Madision, writing in Federalist No. 45, says:

The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.

Mr. Obama's proposal not only deprives us of a freedom to use our money as we best deem fit, and is therefore authoritarian, but it is unconstitutional as well."
