I just finished watching “Saving Private Ryan” for the umpteenth time. The last scene has the now-senior Private Ryan walking through the American cemetery in Normandy as the General Marshall character reads an excerpt from a letter Abraham Lincoln wrote to a mother who lost five sons in the Civil War. Lincoln’s words spoke of “the solemn pride that must be [hers] to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.” As I heard those words and watched the row upon row of white cross and star of David pass by, I could not help but feel the remorse of watching B. Hussein Obama throw all that sacrifice, all of the combined sacrifice of those who have suffered and/or died in all of our wars, away in a matter of just a few months. I could not help but mourn the election of an enemy more damaging than every foreign enemy in the history of the United States combined and just a few months later seeing that these dead, all of our war dead, HAVE died in vain, that government of the people, by the people, for the people, IS perishing from the earth, right before our eyes.

How far has this nation fallen? Just 234 years ago, our nation was created by men who believed in freedom, liberty, government of the people, and God-given rights that CANNOT be taken away by man. Now we are ruled by an elected tyrant more intent on control than King George III could have ever imagined who believes rights are bestowed by, and therefore can be taken by, governments and that men should be enslaved to their betters. Now we are ruled by an elected tyrant who has expressed nothing but contempt for everything that is America. Now we are ruled by an elected tyrant who has acted on those beliefs, openly repudiating the will of the people, and imposing anti-Constitutional, illegal policies and poised to fill the courts with judges who will promise to put political ideology above the law.

This tyrant MUST be stopped. Even waiting until November and hoping for a free election which will sweep his legislative majority into history’s sewer where they belong promises eight more months of unbridled tyrannical totalitarianism and the massive damage it is capable of inflicting in those last two lame-duck months alone. Take a moment to realize the extent of the destruction possible from an openly anti-American tyrant who cares nothing for the will of the people, the Constitution, or legislated law over an eight month free reign. Now realize that that is the MINIMUM damage that we face as a nation. It only stops there IF we are permitted a free election and IF we are successful at electing a majority that is willing to devote their careers to repeal and impeach, and not just compromise to do less damage.

Repeal, Impeach, Obstruct. Quite a way from life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but our only remaining hope.

Sebelius: Obamacare Strategy Is to Reduce Company Profits

So. You’ve got ___________ (fill in the blank – e.g. cancer, heart disease, aids, renal failure, MS, etc.) Are you still hoping for a cure to be found?

WELL. Give up on that naïve hope. We have elected Mr. Hope and Change, and he’s changing your hope to a wish for one of those pain pills he prescribed for patients who need a heart transplant but don’t (in his “mind”) deserve one.

Kathleen Sebelius, the …um… lady who will be determining all of the details for your and my and our children’s and grandchildren’s health care, has announced that Obamacare is designed to punish companies that do such evil things as produce lifesaving drugs and medical equipment for doing such evil things. They will no longer be developing new lifesaving drugs or designing new medical equipment! As our new health care queen says in the above video, PART of the strategy, just PART of it, is to starve companies of the profits they need to do such horrifying things as hire employees, invest in new equipment, invest in new product R&D, etc.

On a related subject, Still hoping for a job?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA…

Well, while criminalizing the generation of funds to pay for new jobs, the Grand Tyrant has plans to grant amnesty to millions and millions of illegal aliens and as many of their family members as can be squeezed into what used to be the USA and turn them into citizens before the election. No new jobs and 20 or more million additional people competing for them and for the government handouts that will replace them for those who think the proper thoughts. Where will he get the money to pay all of that? He’ll beg China for more and then just print more and more. Prediction for 2011: Dozen Eggs $1,237, Loaf of Bread $1,000, New Car Who do you think you are, Bill Gates?

Harry Reid and Senate Democrats, in goosestep…er…lockstep, are forcing their socialized medicine scheme down all of our throats and in doing so, enslaving us all to a federal tyranny that will be able to control every aspect of our lives – including our lives themselves.

The latest Quinnipiac poll shows that 53% of American voters DO NOT WANT this fascist takeover while only 36% approve of it. Apparently 11% responded “Huh? What? Hey! Don’t hog that doob, dude.” But that’s another story…

Harry Reid even had to buy the votes of his fellow Senate Democrats to hammer this thing down our throats. What are some …just some… of the bribes that we are paying to get this abomination?

$10,000,000,000 — $10 BILLION to buy the vote of Bernie Sanders of VT (who is a self-admitted Socialist)

$100,000,000 to buy off Christopher Dodd of CT

The entire cost of Nebraska’s future Medicaid costs born by residents of the other 49 states, a few new Nebraska hospitals omitted from the restrictions on the existence of new hospitals, plus a number of other smaller extorts to buy the 60^th vote from Ben Nelson of NE. Senators from VT (Bernie Sanders again), LA, and MA were also bought off with an agreement for the rest of the states to pick up large portions of their future Medicaid bills as well. Residents of Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio, whose economies are in a shambles largely because their state governments have proven incapable of controlling their own spending – how are you feeling just about now, knowing that you are going to have to provide relief to Nebraska, Vermont, Louisiana, and Massachusetts WHILE trying to survive your own inept leadership?

Oh – AND – while the MASSIVE new taxes will kick in just after the 2010 elections, the destructive changes (a.k.a. benefits) don’t come until 2013 – to protect the 2012 election. (If this is as “urgent” an issue and if we are facing as major a “crisis” as Obama and his minions regurgitate so endlessly, why does nothing happen until after the “election” that will buy Obama’s 2^nd term?)

This bill is such a winner that it had to be snuck through late at night (1:00 AM Monday morning following an effective news blackout over the weekend) after Senators were held in Washington over their Christmas holiday (final vote is scheduled for Christmas Eve) and even Democrats who can hardly find the nerve to even consider the possibility of thinking a potential thought that could be considered slightly negative about the Great Dictator had to be bought off with MASSIVE bribes. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have both admitted that this bill alone will be responsible for Democrats losing seats and possibly the majority in 2010, and have admitted that they, themselves, may lose their highly coveted leadership positions over the bill. So what is so compelling about it – besides the fact that it is another big smooch on Obama’s ass?

It enslaves ALL Americans to an all-powerful federal tyranny. The federal government will be able to dictate what we do, how we do it, and IF we are to be permitted to get treatment for ailments/injuries! Harry Reid even threw in an amendment (that no one was permitted to read before voting, of course) that locks down the “death panels” – the “Independent Medical Advisory Board” that determines whether or not you can receive treatment – so that no future congress can amend or repeal the section of the bill that defines them. And while he was at it, he modified a number of Senate rules (which by Senate rule takes 67 votes instead of the 60 he used). Of course that is unconstitutional, but then, so is EVERYTHING else in this bill and virtually everything that has been done since Democrats took the majorities in 2008.

We are no longer a Representative Republic. Our Democrat representatives no longer even try to hide their unwillingness to consider their constituents. (Both my Democrat congressman and my Democrat senator have admitted deluding themselves that 80-plus percent opinion against them only means that their supporters didn’t bother calling and they MUST outnumber the dissenters. “They just must.” I could almost hear them stomping their little foot in little-girl-tantrum style at the other end of the townhall cop-out…er…teleconferences.) Our constitution is null and void when congress completely ignores it and the REgressives hold a majority on the Supreme Court.

Americans – if that word has any meaning now that we are effectively without Constitution – are you choking yet? If not, what could it possibly take?

CNSNews.com asked Senator Patrick Leahy, Chairman of the US Senate Judiciary Committee, what part of the Constitution grants Congress the power to force every American to buy health insurance–as all of the health care overhaul bills currently do. Leahy, in typical progressive-weasel fashion, refused to answer.

CNSNews.com: “Where, in your opinion, does the Constitution give specific authority for Congress to give an individual mandate for health insurance?”

Sen. Leahy: “We have plenty of authority. Are you saying there is no authority?”

CNSNews.com: “I’m asking–”

Sen. Leahy: “Why would you say there is no authority? I mean, there’s no question there’s authority. Nobody questions that.”

Well Senator, you are WRONG.

You are WRONG, Senator, that nobody questions your authority to force Americans to buy goods or services that satisfy you but not us. In fact, just about EVERYBODY questions your authority to force us to buy something that we, the people, YOUR BOSSES, do not want to buy!

You are WRONG, Senator, that you have the authority to do it! The Constitution actually PROHIBITS you from forcing your purchase decisions upon we, the people, YOUR BOSSES!

CNSNews.com noted that HillaryCare in 1994 had a similar imposition.

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said in a 1994 report that for federal government to order Americans to buy health insurance would be “unprecedented,” adding that the government had “never required” Americans to purchase anything. “A mandate requiring all individuals to purchase health insurance would be an unprecedented form of federal action,” CBO found.

“The government has never required people to buy any good or service as a condition of lawful residence in the United States,” said the CBO report.

Senator Leahy, the CBO says you have no authority.

Nobody questions your authority?

Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee did question whether Congress had that authority when the health-care bill was being debated in their committee. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R.-Utah) tried to offer an amendment that would expedite judicial review of the bill were it enacted, but Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D.-Mont.) ruled that Hatch’s amendment was out of order.

“If we have the power simply to order Americans to buy certain products, why did we need a Cash-for-Clunkers program or the upcoming program providing rebates for purchasing energy appliances?” Hatch asked on Oct. 1 when trying to offer his amendment in the committee. ”We could simply require Americans to buy certain cars, dishwashers or refrigerators.”

Senator Leahy, your fellow Senators, just last week, say you have no authority.

Most compellingly, Senator Leahy, the United States Constitution, which you swore an oath to protect from what you have become, a domestic enemy, SAYS YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY!

Article I, Section 8 tells you what you may do. In the 10th Amendment, our founders told you essentially that they were serious when they told you all that you could do in Article I, Section 8. In short, the 10th Amendment simply says “By the way, we were serious.!” US Constitution, 10th Amendment:

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.

Read that, Senator Leahy! THERE IS NO AUTHORITY!

Your colleague in the House, Steny Hoyer, laughably tried to spew the DNC propaganda that the general welfare clause gives you authority to force such minute control over our lives. James Madison, “the Father of the Constitution,” blew that ridiculous stance right out of the water when he noted:

“If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every State, county and parish and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision of the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress…. Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited Government established by the people of America.“

Senator Leahy, James Madison, “The Father of the Constitution,” says you have no authority.

I, Senator Leahy, am saying you have no authority.

Further, Senator Leahy, I will note that you are bound by your oath of office to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” You swore on a Bible that you would“bear true faith and allegiance to the same.” Your refusal now, and SO OFTEN in your past, to support the Constitution; your insistence now that the Constitution should be twisted and spun to suit YOUR ideological whimsy; your abject failure to bear true faith and allegiance to the United States Constitution places you in direct violation of what Article VI calls “the Supreme Law of the Land.”

Senator Leahy, not only do you not have the authority to subjugate American citizens to your chosen form of tyranny, you, as a violator of the Supreme Law of the Land are a criminal.

Senator Leahy, as someone who seeks ways to get around the United States Constitution, essentially trying to change the very structure of America, which is DEFINED by that Constitution, are a domestic enemy of the Constitution, the very enemy from whom you, yourself, are sworn to protect the Constitution.

Senator Leahy, you and those who share your opinion that the general welfare clause grants you authority to reign supreme over the citizens of the United States deserve thus to be arrested and prosecuted for your treason against the United States in doing more damage to this country and our Constitution than every foreign enemy throughout history COMBINED.

We, the people, are tired of your attempts to enslave us to a tyrannical central government!

Henry Paulson, the Almighty King of America’s Economy has spoken! All hail the great dictator! All hail the great dictator!

Announcing that the federal government is now in the business of buying bank stocks, the newly anointed Most Powerful Man on the Planet said it is “not what we want to do but what we have to do” to restore confidence in our financial system.

WELL! COMRADES! There you have it! We should now have MORE confidence in our financial system because the Central Tyranny of the Former United States has stuck it’s enormous nose into the market even further and is now buying our banks!

YES!!! We should stop following our instincts which lead us to have MUCH less confidence in our financial system now that the federal government has decided to buy our major banks, forget EVERYTHING that America has ever stood for, abandon all independent thought, and simply TRUST King of the Economy!

Well. I feel much better now. Pass the Kool-Aid, Comrade! I have forgotten that every single socialist state in the history of history has been a miserable failure! Our all-powerful King has spoken. HE will save the world for us all!

I REALLY, REALLY long for the good ol’ days of SEPTEMBER, when there was at least the illusion that someone in Washington DC had at least heard of a document called the US Constitution! But alas, that illusion has been shattered.
