Congress Failed The American Public on Obama

Section. 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

I don’t see how this President has sat in power as long as he has in light of the 14th Amendment.  He negotiates with terrorists, failed to act decisively and swiftly with the Iranian nuke problem, allowed guns to walk under his watch to Mexican Drug Cartels thru the ATF and DOJ, NDAA, which permits an entire takeover of our economy and threatens every dissident American, and just yesterday, promised to undermine our own missile defense after his re election (and how he knows he’ll even be re elected is something I avoid pondering for fear’s sake) by whispering sweet promises to Putin via Medved. I could continue with this exhaustive list, but I won’t for fear of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
What has Congress done about any of this?  NOTHING.  WHY?
Well, in my not so humble opinion, it’s because they either lack the guts or the drive. Yes, Obama is our first black President.  And that my friends, is really the crux of it all, nothing more.  Even our own party has gone the way of political correctness. I wouldn’t care if Obama was a one horned, flying, purple, people eater…His aid and comfort to the enemy is in yo face. And for that reason, I question their oath to uphold The Constitution as well.
I wonder…what will it take?  How many more subversive, anti American activities he’ll get away with before it’s all said and done? I can tell you this much…I’ll be sitting right where I am, in Serbia, until I see Congress grow some cojones and do what should have been done a long time ago. TAKE ACTION NOW.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, or maybe not…but I’ll defend to the death your right to speak them!


Why Obamacare Isn’t About Healthcare At All

We the People  of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

— U.S. Constitution, Art. I, § 8, cl. 3

The Congress shall have Power … To regulate Commerce … among the several States.

Tenth Amendment – Reserved Powers

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

It certainly seems simple enough, doesn’t it? After all, you can’t have a Union without uniformity regarding commerce between states, with foreign nations, with different currencies. It’s just common sense, right?  No…The recognition that the scope of the commerce power has expanded so far beyond the original understanding of that power’s boundaries that any attempt to adhere strictly to its original meaning today would likely be futile, but NOT inappropriate. Just because Roosevelt got away with the New Deal, and the “Great Society” *choke, choke* doesn’t give the ANY branch of our government to tell us what we have to buy, ever!  Whether it’s as important as healthcare or as trivial as widgets. And further, to even remotely entertain the idea that the Founding Fathers would go for these obvious violations of individual liberty, the 1st Amendment, and the 10th Amendment, is absolutely absurd.  Only an ass could even remotely think such things, or a brilliant manipulator with a bigger agenda. The Constitution doesn’t get reworked every time you get some dim bulb with a “bright” idea for the expansion of government in the White House.  Furthermore, I have lived in America all my life, and many times uninsured. There are so many programs out there already, between, Medicaid, Medicare, Free and Sliding Scale Community Clinics, The Hillburton Act, Prescription Programs, that one would have to conclude in light of the above, in addition to its expense, these healthcare hearings aren’t about healthcare at all.  It’s about how much power this President can get. And as awful as he is, imagine if someone even worse were to have that power.  The star struck liberals out there need to realize that what they advocate for today, will bite them in the ass tomorrow.

I’d love to hear what you think….or maybe not, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.
