The 14th Amendment is an Out Dated Civil War Relic




Well, what do you know?  Bill Clinton, also known as the Riddler for his obfuscation of the word “is”, said he would use the 14th Amendment to circumvent the Constitutional prerogatives of Congress in order to raise the debt ceiling.



 Considering the record of Clinton, this should be no surprise.  His abuses of the executive office won the admiration of every deviant in the press corp.  They marveled at his ability to lie, cheat, and abuse cigars.  He was the wonder boy from Hope.  I’m beginning to believe that we should have a new definition for the word “hope”:  the unrealistic expectations from lying democratic politicians.

I say it is time we stand up and put an end to the lies the Democrats are putting forth; and I’m talking about the 14th Amendment.  This post civil war amendment was passed so as to ensure ex-slaves and their progeny were granted equal protection and due process granted to citizens under individual STATE LAWS.  The 14th also ensured that the debts incurred during the AMERICAN CIVIL WAR would be honored.

Today, we recognize that we no longer have slaves and that the; descendents of ex-slaves no longer fear exclusion from the law; and that the financial obligations of Civil War debt incurred in the 1860’s has been paid off.

We Americans should recognize that the 14th Amendment is outdated and should be repealed.  To keep the 14th Amendment in our Constitution invites a totalitarian central government; a government that has no regards for the 10th Amendment or the Republic.

Senator Kay Hagan Betrays North Carolinians


Senator Kay Hagan voted against repealing Obamacare yesterday. You would have thought after the past election, she would have a clue as to the sentiments of her fellow tar heels on this monstrous piece of legislation.


North Carolina’s General Assembly will be dominated by Republicans for the first time in 112 years:

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina Republicans gained control of both chambers of the N.C. General Assembly on Tuesday, ending more than a century of Democratic control of both chambers as the GOP took advantage of both voter unhappiness nationwide and a difficult state budget picture.


Unofficial results Tuesday show GOP candidates winning at least 28 seats in the Senate and 62 in the House, ensuring they’ll have more seats than the Democrats. The Republicans also were leading in two more Senate districts and three more in the House, giving them more room to govern.


Republicans turned over at least 20 seats held by Democrats during the previous two-year legislative cycle, including 16 current incumbents, according to unofficial returns. Losers Tuesday included current House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman of Davidson County and N.C. Rep. Nelson Cole, who lost to a conservative running as an independent.


Republicans haven’t led both chambers together since their Fusion coalition with farmers got defeated in 1898. That includes a 112-year losing streak in the Senate and only four years of House control in the 1990s

Senator Kay Hagan’s allegiance is with her party and not her fellow North Carolinians. She is the poster child for repealing the 17th Amendment. Had it not been for this amendment the new republican majority in the N.C. General Assembly would have grounds to recall her.

Rep. Larry Kissell Refuses to Repeal Obamacare




Rep. Larry Kissell was one of four democrats who voted to advance a bill that would repeal Obamacare. But that is as far as he will go. His new job as regional whip has solidified his allegiance with San Fran Pelosi and her coterie of socialist usurpers. The concerns of Mr. Kissell’s constituents in the eighth district of North Carolina are secondary to his ambitions.


The Hill reports:


Rep. Larry Kissell (D-N.C.), one of 34 House Democrats who voted against healthcare last year, will not vote in favor of repealing the law when the new Republican majority brings it up for a vote next week.


"I am not going to vote to repeal it;" Kissell told The Hill, adding that despite his opposition to the measure, Democrats "put a lot of energy into this bill."


Kissell said he was pleased the new majority was bringing a repeal vote to the floor, but said a long and drawn out fight over healthcare will only serve to distract from what should be the top priority of the new Congress — the economy and jobs.


"Get it on the floor, let everybody vote, and then let's focus on the economy and get people back to work, because that's what the American people want us to do," he said.


Kissell was also one of 19 Democrats who voted against Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Wednesday. He voted for fellow North Carolina Rep. Heath Shuler (D).


"After the election, I felt that we as a party needed to look at what happened and seek out new leadership," Kissell said. "This was an opportunity to vote for someone else and demonstrate my belief that we need to move in a new direction."


Kissell is the fifth House Democrat who voted against healthcare who has pledged to not vote in favor of a full repeal. Reps. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), Collin Peterson (D-Minn.), Daniel Lipinski (D-Ill.) and Shuler have all told The Hill they will not vote for repeal.



Had Kissell and all the other so-called blue dogs voted for Obamacare last year, they would’ve met the same fate as Rep. John Spratt in the 5th District of South Carolina.

So to all you “conservative” democrats: sit…roll over…now get into Princess Pelosi’s purse.
