We the People say, You Work For Us!

Posted on December 28, 2010 by Xavier Lerma in Opinion

Have you ever hired someone to do a job for you? Instead of doing their job they tell you what to do. Have you ever gone to a restaurant and the waiter tells you what you should eat? A restaurant like that would easily go out of business. Any business would go belly up if they ignored the customer. The same it will be with the arrogant U.S. government. They are trillions of dollars in debt and refuse to hear the voices of America.

In America, the people elect those who will represent them. Once congressman are elected they work when they want and can give themselves more money anytime. The American dream job! They have groups of people who give them money. The more you give, the more you get from them.

Perhaps the constitution should have read, “We who have the most money” instead of “We the people”. Ah, but “We the people” was not changed. Which means Americans can warmly tell any elected official, “Screw you! You work for us”; and not for the people who bribed you or gave more campaign contributions! America, live propaganda free and watch this great video by sunsetfans:

“YOU WORK FOR US”

Abraham Lincoln is an American legend. As president he saved the Union. He is a sign of strength, honesty and leadership. He listened to the voices of his people. He served America even giving up his life for it. He has said:

“Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people.”

“The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but cannot do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves — in their separate, and individual capacities.”

How many of America’s elected can we truly say serve America as Lincoln once did? Even as early as 1939 a movie about corruption in congress was made. “Mr Smith Goes to Washington“. Mr Smith is a good man fighting corruption in congress.

“…another lost cause”

Rep. Joe Wilson, called Obama a liar in front of Obama and Congress. Obama was talking about his mysterious health care bill where the president insisted illegal immigrants would not get free health care. Rep. Joe Wilson rightly said he was a liar. Even today Obama is wasting millions of tax dollars suing Arizona for treating illegal immigrants as “illegal”. Rep. Joe Wilson lost his backbone later and apologized for fear of reprisals. Well, at least he tried. Nevertheless it was a great moment in history.

Rep. Joe Wilson shouted “You lie! 1:28

Heroic efforts from men like Washington and Lincoln are all true and seldom found. Where is America’s backbone? Truth was spoken fearlessly by America long ago. Dr. Martin Luther King certainly was not afraid against the government. His focus was equality for all. The “character” of a person is more important than the color of his skin. He held America accountable to enforce the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

“…America, be true to what you said on paper”- Martin Luther King

Dr. Alveda King (Dr. Martin Luther King’s niece) surely had courage to speak last August. She was unafraid to speak what she believes to be true. Money and her constituents did not influence her speech. She apologized to no one and knows that God is more important.

“…nations moral poverty” – Dr. Alveda King

Elected officials seldom speak that which is true and necessary. They need money and votes to stay in power. They are either like Obama who vote with their party and do whatever their puppet masters tell them; or like Joe Wilson who try to do the right thing but are afraid and lose heart.

So, now America’s future depends on the “people”. Are there enough people willing to sacrifice their time to protest and vote? Can they at least “pray” that God blesses America? Bernard Goldberg rightly called America, “United States of Entertainment”. Americans are fat and happy as long as they are entertained.

Yet, the drums of discontent have begun beating. People are marching and screaming. Those who side with government are calling the dissenters racists. Those who are fed up are shouting “You work for us”. Meaning, “do what we tell you or we vote you out of office”.

Alfonzo Rachel goes to Tea Party rallies often. He talks about the NAACP as the  “National Association of Crying People” and that the “Democrats fought to keep slavery legal”.

Which brings us back to the job of a congressman, president or any elected official. They are supposed to fulfill their promises to us and stand by our constitution. To allow a state like Arizona to protect itself from the drug war it has from Mexico. The president should be born in America and not spend millions to avoid the issue. To bring down the high cost of health care not take it over and force all Americans to buy it with little choice. To allow chaos to continue so government can take over businesses was never the people’s choice.

Passing the health care bill was Obama’s main focus. Obama promised transparency in government yet the public never had access to the bill. We never knew what the bill would make into law until it was passed. Can you imagine buying a car and being told you cannot see what is inside?

He blamed the Republicans for stopping the health care bill. However, his Democrats have the majority in the House and Senate. In other words the Democrats outnumber the Republicans which mean they can vote and pass anything they want. When Obama’s own Democrats questioned the health bill , Obama blamed the Republicans. It was like the teacher blaming the smallest kid in the class when the big bully is hitting everybody. The Republicans looked at Obama like the RCA Victor dog. Obama made an advertising campaign that blamed the Republicans but what he really was doing was trying to persuade his own doubting friends.

Hillary Clinton was not elected in the late 90’s yet she was pushing the same health care bill as Obama. Why? The government makes money from the businesses they control. Money = Power. Hillary is on the same Democratic team as Obama.

The Democratic agenda is big government and more taxes. They want to control as much as possible. However, America is the United States of America. Every state has their own rights just like an individual. The Democrats contradict the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.

The Republican agenda is smaller government and less taxes. Bigger companies make more money and more people are employed. They too get payoffs and cater to those who bribe them. They do not strive hard enough to make things better for family and individuals. They do better than the Demos but it seems they just sit on their hands most of the time. They cater to big business but big business keep Americans employed. The Republicans are not all conservative but all the conservatives are mostly in the Republican party.  However, why do they allow American jobs to go overseas?

Americans should have the right to have better schools for their children. When will it happen? Many choose private schools or home schooling. Obama said he would stop U.S. jobs from going overseas. However, unemployment continues to rise. Fewer jobs are created in America ever since Bill Clinton set up shop overseas in China.

Thanks a lot Bill! Thanks for allowing American nuclear and missile secrets to go to China. Thanks for allowing American jobs to go overseas. Thanks for saying you would give back the money the Chinese illegally gave you as campaign contributions. It sure did help China not America.

President Nixon was threatened with impeachment for spying on the Democrats. Clinton gets illegal financing from the Chinese and it’s ok. “Oops!”,said Clinton. “Bring in Monica and start a war in Kosovo. They’ll forget about China!” They don’t call him “Slick Willy” for nothing.

Former presidential candidate Dr. Alan Keyes made a good point when he asked why everyone was counting every penny under President Bush but now Obama can spend trillions. America never gave Obama and congress blank checks to spend on bailing out their friends. The companies who supported Obama were bailed out by Obama. PAYOFFS THE CHICAGO WAY! Citigroup, J.P. Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs were among the many reported by the American media as being “bailed out”. I have never heard anyone disprove Dr. Keyes. They always resort to insults. “Alan Keyes Rips Obamanation”.

“insane children and adolescents in charge of our government” – Alan Keyes

I would like to mention also those who were not bailed out but support Obama. George Soros, Google, SONY Pictures and 20th Century Fox. Soros owns millions of shares of Time Warner. He owns the SKG film library from Viacom. Which means he controls movies like “Gladiator” and “Saving Private Ryan”. I think they should be noted. Money can make a lot of propaganda. Imagine what Obama could do with Google’s help? Already lawmakers are controlling the internet while making it look like they are helping us. Michelle Malkin has a great article on this here.

“When bureaucrats talk about increasing our “access” to x, y or z, what they’re really talking about is increasing exponentially their control over our lives. As it is with the government health care takeover, so it is with the newly approved government plan to “increase” Internet “access.” Call it Webcare.”

Americans needed help from Obama during the Gulf Oil crisis. He told everyone to stop drilling in the Gulf and sent billions to Brazil so they can drill offshore. Thanks for helping America Mr O. Later, before the Nov 2nd election, Obama gave the OK to drill when the Demos were sinking but it was too late.  Georgie Soros invested in Petrobras from Brazil. Soros owns Obama so that is why the American government helped Brazil. Reuters, Bloomberg, Agence France Press ,the Wall Street Journal and now even Fox News have all reported this.

Obama sends billions to Brazil as Soros profits

So, when will congress and the president serve their own people in America? It all depends how many people vote and if there is anyone out there who can honestly represent them. Weak hearts on both sides. Although, the Tea Party is more energetic.

For most people it is just easier to accept the propaganda that Republicans are racists and greedy businessman. Fortunately, Obama has helped them question the lies of the Democratic machine. Recently, Obama tried to sweet talk America again but Velma Hart was able to ask a question that broke the evil spell cast upon millions.

“deeply disappointed”

This week independent Dr Alan Keyes sarcastically spoke the feelings of the Democrats and Republicans, “ Oh, the horror of it all. The pro-Constitution rabble, so many thousands of Americans, cheering, rallying and organizing themselves to re-institute consent of the governed — defying the will of their masters in both major parties, and selecting by fair ballot their own nominees! These peasants — who do they think they are? Free men and women?”

LOL! Yes, how dare Americans want true representation and the American Constitution to be upheld. Does America still have that American feisty spirit that the Founders had against the British Empire? The British had guns and hung many a rebel. What can the chicken spirited congress and Obama do in defiance to the will of the people? Does America have to courage to stand against intimidation and the insults congress have in store for these free men and women?

Will those newly elected by the ‘Tea Party” in 2011 have the courage to stand up for conservative values in the face of the liberal paper tiger? Will they really begin investigations on those slimy Democrats? We have to wait and see. If they do not, Americans need to do what the people did in the first video and stand outside their door and yell, “You work for us!!!”.

The independent thinkers of today still wave the old independent flag , “DONT TREAD ON ME!”. It was waved over 235 years ago in the face of the British. They also demand the same thing as Dr. Martin Luther King demanded in his day :

“…America, be true to what you said on paper”

- Martin Luther King

A Case Against Compromise

Posted on December 2, 2010 by George Scaggs in Opinion

After Republicans convincingly regained control of the U.S. House, not surprisingly, it took all of a few days for the traditional powers that be to pull out their demands for “compromise”.

Theirs is an automatic assumption that conservatives, particularly those nasty Tea Party types, need to compromise with President Obama.  Same old drill, from the same old playbook.

We conservatives are to simply go along with the Democratic agenda, regardless of its merit, in the spirit of the government getting things done. No further explanation is required.

Conversely, as we know all too well, when it comes to Republican proposals or in this instance a grass-roots conservative revolution, there are no such calls for adversaries to get on board. This is the stuff of one-way streets.

Actually, when it comes to Democrats, it seems that doing something, anything at all, is the general idea. We are told that government must get things done, regardless of whether or not it’s a good idea, or even whether or not most Americans happen to agree with it. In the age of Obama, there’s been no need for any benchmarks at all. The motto is “just do it!”

At the risk of bursting anyone’s bubble, in response to the “Can’t we all just get along” crowd, let’s clear something up straight away, no, we cannot.

This concept of compromising for the mere sake of compromise is over-rated anyway. Some things are not to be bargained with, only defeated. When it comes to good versus evil, there is no middle ground. Compromise means evil will persist. The only solution is to utterly and completely defeat it.

We learned this lesson with the Adolf Hitler’s of the world. We learned it with the abomination of slavery. We are still battling it today with Communism, Islamic terrorists and countless other threats to our safety and morality.

The silly notion that compromise is good, as in always good, while parroted by the left is largely the domain of the political moderate. In truth, such a stance, or perhaps the lack thereof, is as much the path of least resistance as it is a principled determination.

Moderates somehow believe that the middle of any two opposing sides is always the sacred ground. Their goal seems to be to stay as far away as possible from any perimeters, what they view as the extremes.

The problem here is that the “extremes” have long been miscast by that pervasive elite ruling class, those who create what was once considered conventional wisdom. Note that it is only conservatives who are tagged with labels such as extremist or radical, resulting in “the center” being dragged considerably to the left.

We need not look any further than the recently completed election cycle, which featured the ascendancy of the very conservative-minded “Tea Party.” While conservative upstart Christine O’Donnell, for example, was routinely portrayed as extreme, Nancy Pelosi or Barbara Boxer were never presented in such a manner.

The “moderate” animal appears to have a desperate desire to be liked by all, believing that neutrality is the most noble of causes. When it comes to many issues of a serious nature, certainly anything perceived as potentially divisive, they are content to stand on the periphery, often the most casual of observers.

In large part, it is this mushy middle that has delivered us to our present dilemma, for government’s natural momentum is to grow. Left largely undeterred and coupled with trendy authoritarian philosophies, the result over the last century has been an exponential expansion in government.

The real result of continuous so-called compromise in the battle between denizens of big government and small government has always been more government. In truth, there has never really been any compromise at all, government never shrinks. At the very best, its rate of growth both in size and intrusiveness is merely slowed for a short time.

As harmful as the desire to compromise (remain neutral) has been to our political apparatus, it has been equally destructive to our intertwining culture and socio-economic system, ultimately producing an epidemic of political correctness that has turned society on its head.

We have become conditioned to tolerate the intolerable. Our over-zealous need to “get along” has transformed us into a nation of enablers. Unleashing a continuous wave of dangerous trends, America has now become its own worst enemy, both at home and abroad.

Certainly, we have long enabled our politicians, and in turn, government. Our once great halls are constantly filled with a caliber of people who we view as unworthy of our respect. You know the drill, everyone hates Congress and then 95% of them get re-elected. Should it be any surprise that government has run-amok?

As for the predictable protests that our system of government is built upon the need to compromise, so it is. However, this precept is in the context of central government as it was designed, one of very limited authority. You can’t have the former having abandoned the latter.

Today’s increasingly divisive and fractious body politic is largely due to the federal government involving itself in an ever-growing list of issues it was never intended to deal with. If nothing else, the federal government has literally overwhelmed itself with the sheer volume of duties it has assumed.

Discarding its limited role in the lives of its citizens has made it increasingly difficult to achieve any true sense of compromise. Ignoring regional distinctions and the sovereign authority of states, defying the axiom that the best government is one closest to home, we have wreaked havoc with our ability to maintain a workable governing system.

Effectively, increasing calls for compromise should be viewed as a clear signal that Washington’s continual abandonment of constitutional principles is not working. They are dire warnings of a desperate need to de-centralize authority.

In truth, more “compromise” at the federal level is the last thing we need. It is time to send power home and unleash the 50 little experiments that were intended for us.
