The latest slap in the face is the part of the new health care bill on page 16 where it essentially makes private health care illegal. We let them do this through ignorance of of what Liberty and Freedom means and ignorance of what we were given by our founders. Franklin knew that keeping a Republic would take vigilance, vigilance we have not shewn.
Nothing in the Constitution gives them the powers they have taken... and if millions stand up holding the Constitution in hand and say hell no... well, we'd outnumber them and at least that would be a good start. Over the past 8 years, I've gone over the Constitution with a fine tooth comb and have come up with no justification for the vast majority of what our representatives do. The Patriot Act is an abomination, the Clean Air Act is horrid law, this new Energy Bill punishes the average consumer while giving billions in future revenue to carbon credit exchange companies conveniently owned by Al Gore and other members of Congress....
We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately. It is us against the political class... oh, and us against the international bankers and financiers who are manipulating markets and currencies at the expense of every honest hard working citizen while our politicians line their pockets from the fallout, and strip us of our liberty in the name of "saving" our economy. It is us against them... unfortunately.

And we have no one to blame save ourselves. In this day and age when communication is so easy and grassroots can get millions animated and involved, it is shameful that we continue to allow our representatives the leeway to do whatever they please and expect the courts (whose job it never was) to do our job for us. We (as a whole) abdicated our role as watchdog over our representatives and so we are at where we are currently at with authoritarians usurping huge swathes of power each and every week.Washintonian_For_Liberty wrote:If it is not in the italicsections below...
