Democrats More of a Threat to American "Democracy" Than Russia

Boy, the Beltway courtesans are astir with consternation and indignation over this Helsinki summit. They wanted President Trump to humiliate Vladimir Putin on the world stage for meddling in our elections. According to our betters, Russia is a mortal threat to American “democracy.”

When I think of a threat to our “REPUBLIC,” it sure as hell doesn’t entail a beady eyed, ex-KGB agent who walks around half-naked. Oh no, the real threat to our country comes from a political party that has nothing but contempt for the American people and our Constitution.

When you hear of election tampering, do you think of a Russian agent, or a Democratic party operative? Yeah, that’s what I thought. I don’t see Russians, I see Democrats.

When voters pass a referendum, or a law through their elected representatives, who do you think will contest the democratic process in the courts? It sure as hell isn’t a Russian.

What group of people are constantly trying to suppress our freedom of speech, religion and association while attacking our Second Amendment right to defend ourselves? These wannabe oppressors sure as hell aren’t Muscovites.

What group of people demean the value of citizenship by obliterating our borders and flooding our country with illegal aliens? I’m sorry, but I’m not hearing Russian in my neighborhood.


I find it laughable that we have communists who have somehow infiltrated the federal government and have the audacity to lecture Americans on a Russian threat. Bernie Sanders honeymooned in the Old Soviet Union; John Brennan voted for a communist in a presidential election.  We also have a fool who is calling for a military coup! 

Are true Americans supposed to heed their advice? I don’t think so.

Let’s face the facts, Democrats are a threat to our liberty, not Russians.

Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors.” It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???

Texas Governor Calls for a Convention of States

What are the American people to do when all three branches of the federal government have broken faith with our federalist system as defined in our Constitution for which our “public servants” pledged to uphold and defend?

We can thank our founders for having foresight by providing tools to fight back against a power hungry and corrupt central government.  Article V allows for a convention of States to amend the Constitution.  Many people have come to the conclusion that this may be the only way to save our republic from unscrupulous power brokers that infest Washington D.C.  The governor of Texas happens to be one of them. 

Gov. Greg Abbott, aiming to spark a national conversation about states’ rights, said Friday that he wants Texas to lead the call for a convention to amend the U.S. Constitution and wrest power from a federal government “run amok.”

“If we are going to fight for, protect and hand on to the next generation, the freedom that [President] Reagan spoke of … then we have to take the lead to restore the rule of law in America,” Abbott said during a speech at the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Policy Orientation that drew raucous applause from the conservative audience. He said he will ask lawmakers to pass a bill authorizing Texas to join other states calling for a Convention of States.

What are Americans to do when Congress has abrogated their constitutional responsibilities to unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats, a president that rules by pen and phone, and a Supreme Court that rewrites laws and manufacturers rights by bastardizing the 14^th Amendment?  If there is another nonviolent alternative, I would like to know it.

Does the U.S. Constitution Still Have Standing?

Americans have a come to Jesus moment.  Are we a constitutional republic, or not?  Are we giving lip service to a federalist system, or, are we to be ruled by an all powerful central government?  It seems we’ve opted for the latter.

Time after time, we’ve watched Congress flail about while the Obama administration flouts the federal bureaucracy by enacting rules and regulations without recourse.  Recently, the FCC declared the internet a public utility without the required 30 day public comment period.  Isn’t that similar to how this whole Obamacare fiasco came about?  Does anyone remember Nancy Pelosi’s infamous, “We need to pass it, so everyone can see what’s in it.”

These bureaucracies shouldn’t have the ability to create rules and regulations that have the force of law.  The U.S. Constitution specifically states that only Congress has legislative powers.  However, this same body abdicated their responsibilities by enabling federal bureaucrats with the passage of the 1946 Administrative Procedures Act.

Can Congress overturn a bureaucratic rule and regulation?  Sure, they can.  The Congressional Review Act was passed in 1996.  Congress granted itself the ability, with permission from President Bill Clinton, to overturn a bureaucratic edict.  Here is how Wikipedia described the law:

The Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. § 801-808), was enacted by the United States Congress as section 251 of the Contract with America Advancement Act of 1996 (Pub.L. 104–121), also known as the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA). The law allows Congress to review, by means of an expedited legislative process, new federal regulations issued by government agencies and, by passage of a joint resolution, to overrule a regulation.^[1]

For the regulation to be invalidated, the Congressional resolution of disapproval either must be signed by the President, or must be passed over the President's veto by two-thirds of both Houses of Congress.^[2]

Isn’t that delicious?  The Constitution states that Congress can override a presidential veto on one of their bills by that same margin.  So, basically, a fourth branch of government has as much power, if not more, as Congress.  Isn’t that interesting?  In other words, it’s almost impossible for Congress to override a federal bureaucracy’s regulation.

The deck is even more stacked now that progressives rule the judiciary.  Liberal judges can flippantly strike down a state’s constitution, or law, by simply declaring it violates the equal protection clause of the 14^th Amendment.  They do this by establishing precedence, and eventually, their rulings no longer reflect original intent of the law.

Another progressive favorite is declaring the plaintiff has no standing.  It’s no longer fashionable to ponder the legality, or for that fact, the constitutionality of a law, such as Obamacare.  Now, judges demand one must show irreparable harm.  How convenient is that?  Here is an excerpt from a Bloomberg article:

 Yet if it’s possible to deduce from the record that the plaintiffs qualify for hardship exemptions from paying for insurance, then it’s within the court’s prerogative to consider the issue. The reason is tricky but interesting. Under the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence, an “injury in fact” is a constitutionally necessary prerequisite for the court to hear a case. If there’s no such injury, there’s no “case or controversy” that the court would be entitled to hear under the Constitution. Therefore, the court has held, the question of standing is what’s called “jurisdictional” – and such a jurisdictional question can be raised by the court even if the parties never mention the problem.

Must the court address the question of standing? Here things get murkier. In theory, if the court knows it doesn’t have standing, it lacks the power to proceed. In practice, the court sometimes hears cases where, in retrospect, standing seems not to have existed.

Does the Constitution still have standing?  Not in the Age of Obama.

Delegates Gathering in Indiana to Amend the Constitution

It seems we are reaching a tipping point.  Americans have had enough of the Washington D.C. establishment running roughshod over the U.S. Constitution and our unalienable rights.  People are beginning to recognize that the solution will never come out of Washington D.C.  That town is surrounded by political grafters enriching themselves at taxpayer expense.  Their suburbs have been deemed the richest in the country.

Delegates are scheduled to gather in Indiana for the sole purpose of amending the Constitution:

The June 12-13 gathering of The Mount Vernon Assembly will focus on shaping the rules and procedures for a Convention of the States.

Indiana Senate President David Long tells The Times of Munster that the group won't propose any amendments this time.

Two-thirds of state legislatures must ask Congress to call a Convention of the States to propose amendments. The amendments can be added to the Constitution without congressional approval so long they are ratified by three-fourths of the states.

Thank God the founders included a provision so the States can have an ability to put a check on this abusive government.  They were truly the greatest and wisest generation this country has ever produced.

Obama's Constitutional Violations Bracket

Since Obama is using his time picking teams for his NCAA bracket, others are doing the same, except they are seeding his constitutional violations.  One republican congressman is using his picks as a campaign promotion.

Conservative Nebraska Senate candidate Ben Sasse, who has been surging since being labeled the anti-Obamacare candidate, has released a "Constitutional Madness" bracket to highlight the lawlessness of the Obama administration. 

"Which is President Obama's worst constitutional violation?" the bracket says. "Make your picks!"

Pairings include "allowing congressional Obamacare subsidies" versus "forcing taxpayers to violate religious conscience by funding abortion through Obamacare" to "Using the IRS to suppress free speech" to "Secret monitoring of Fox News and the Associated Press."

Sasse, who has vowed to take on the permanent political class and has already clashed with the Washington establishment, was most recently endorsed by former Alaska. Gov. Sarah Palin. 

Does Warren Buffett have any bets on this one?

100th Anniversary of the 16th Amendment

Today is the 100^th anniversary of the 16^th Amendment.  Tax lawyers, accountants and federal bureaucrats are celebrating with unabated cheer.  For if it weren’t for this monstrosity, the general government wouldn’t be able to tax your income directly.  The Constitution forbade that.  Originally, taxation was apportioned by the States.

What a blessing the Progressives gave us. Now, we’re subjected to an incomprehensible and confiscatory tax code.  President Woodrow Wilson please take a bow, for he couldn’t wait to usher in this new source of revenue.  He called for a special session of Congress on April 13.  They directed an income tax of 1% on incomes above $3000 and applied surcharges between 2% and 7% on income from $20,000 to $500,000.  That was the beginning of it all.  Here is a prophetic prediction by an opponent of the 16^th Amendment:

Richard E. Byrd, speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, predicted, "a hand from Washington will be stretched out and placed upon every man's business. . . . Heavy fines imposed by distant and unfamiliar tribunals will constantly menace the taxpayer. An army of Federal officials, spies and detectives will descend upon the state. . . ."[14]

Not only have they descended upon the state, they have descended upon the citizenry with a vengeance.  Under the Obama administration, an army of IRS agents are being hired to spy on our health care. 

The Progressives weren’t finished.  Later, they created the Federal Reserve, giving the general government an unlimited credit line.  We can attest to that.  This country is $17 trillion in debt, thanks to the printing presses.  This secretive entity has destroyed the dollar, along with our savings.  Later these revolutionaries would implement the 17^th Amendment completely destroying our federative system.

Progressives have a long history of fiscal irresponsibility.  After passing the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, Woodrow Wilson is quoted as saying “I have unwittingly ruined my country.”   Unwittingly?  No sir, you knew exactly what you were doing.
