Read the Constitution Mr. President
What are the powers granted to the Federal government? Read Article I, Section 8 for the powers of Congress. Note that this Section grants Congress the power to levy taxes to “Provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States.” This section does not say provide for the Welfare of the People of the United States. It is specific that Congress should provide for the Welfare of the country.
This section also calls for Congress to promote the Progress of Science and the Arts. This support is limited to giving the Authors and Inventors the Exclusive Right to their Writings and Discoveries for “limited Times. The Constitution does not give the Congress the right to provide funding for either the Arts or Sciences.
Section 10 lays out what is prohibited to the States. These are; entering into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; granting Letters of Marquee and Reprisal, coin money, emit Bills of Credit, make any Thing but gold and silver Coins a Tender in Payment of Debts, pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
States also cannot, without the Consent of Congress lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except when ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for executing its inspection Laws. Any of these imposts and duties are reserved of the Treasury of the United States.
President
Commander in Chief of the Navy and Army and of the Militia of the States when they are called into actual service of the United States.
Making treaties with the advice and consent of the Senate. Treaties require the consent of two-thirds of the Senate.
Nominate and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Councils, Judges of the Supreme Court and all other Officers of the United States whose appointments are not otherwise provided for.
NOTE: The Constitution DOES NOT give the President any domestic powers. Therefore it is a violation of the Constitution when the President and by default, his cabinet make any rules that are Domestic in Nature. I believe any rules made by any Cabinet Department except the Departments of Defense, Commerce, State and Homeland Security UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
A Proud Right Wing Extremist
Well, I guess this blog makes me a Right Wing extremist. After all, I believe in the US Constitution. I believe in the very clear wording of the 10th Amendment. The Department of Homeland Security has stated that that makes me a right wing extremist. I thought the Director of Homeland Security swore to defend the Constitution. I thought the President swore to defend the Constitution.
Not only do I believe in the 10th Amendment to the Constitution but I am also a military veteran. I oppose abortion. I participated in the Tea Party in Wheeling, WV. All of these things make me an extremist according to this Administration. It is time to throw the bums in Congress out of office. We need to change the party on Capital Hill then we need to impeach this President. If that makes me a rightwing Extremist, I will wear that badge proudly.
A Christian Nation
So Obama tells the Turks the US is not a Christian Nation.
Tell that to our founders who understood that faith in God is indelibly linked to liberty.
Thomas Jefferson declared, “The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time. The hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them.” Shortly before his death, he wrote, “Adore God. Reverence and cherish your parents. Love your neighbor as yourself, and your country more than yourself. Be just. Be true. Murmur not at the ways of Providence.”
James Madison stated, “The belief in a God All Powerful wise and good, is so essential to the moral order of the world and to the happiness of man, that arguments which enforce it cannot be drawn from too many sources nor adapted with too much solicitude to the different characters and capacities impressed with it.”
John Adams averred, “It is the duty of all men in society, publicly, and at stated seasons, to worship the SUPREME BEING, the great Creator and Preserver of the universe.”
John Jay affirmed, “The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts.”
Justice Joseph Story, however, cautioned us: “It yet remains a problem to be solved in human affairs, whether any free government can be permanent, where the public worship of God, and the support of religion, constitute no part of the policy or duty of the state in any assignable shape.”
Looking at the degraded state of constitutional rule of law today, and the abject corruption of our executive, legislative and judicial branches of government, it would appear that “separation of church and state” has proven conclusively that liberty is in great peril when its source, the God of all nature, is evicted from those institutions.
That notwithstanding, true liberty is in fact a state of mind, an understanding of Who provides this blessing through all eternity. In the words of the Apostle Paul to the Colossians: “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.”
Forced Retirement
Following is a letter I received over the net. Older workers have already began seeing the same type of letter. Maybe the terms have been changed, but, no matter how it is written, the meaning is the same.
Dear Valued Employee:
As a result of budget reductions for all department areas, we are forced to cut back on our number of personnel. Under the new plan, older employees will be asked to take early retirement, thus permitting the retention of younger people who represent our future.
Therefore, a program to phase out older personnel by the end of the next fiscal year, via retirement, will be placed into effect immediately.
This program will be known as S.L.A.P.. (Severance of Late-Aged Personnel).
Employees who are SLAPPED will be given the opportunity to look for jobs outside the company.
SLAPPED employees can request a review of their employment records before actual retirement takes place. This review phase of the program will be called S.C.R.E.W. (Survey of Capabilities of Retired Elderly Workers).
All employees who have been SLAPPED and SCREWED may file an appeal with upper management.
This appeal is called S.H.A.F.T. (Study by Higher Authority Following Termination).
Under the terms of the new policy, an employee may be SLAPPED once, SCREWED twice, but may be SHAFTED as many times as the company deems appropriate.
If an employee follows the above procedure, he/she will be entitled to get: H.E.R.P.E..S. (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel’s Early Severance) or C.L.A.P. (Combined Lump Sum Assistance Payment).
As H.E.R.P.E.S. and C..L.A..P. are considered benefit plans, any employee who has received H.E.R..P.E.S. or C.L.A.P. will no longer be SLAPPED or SCREWED by the company.
Management wishes to assure the younger employees who remain on board, that the company will continue its policy of training employees through our: Special High Intensity Training (S.H.I.T.)
We take pride in the amount of S.H.I.T. our employees receive. We have given our employees more S.H.I.T. than any company in this area. If any employee feels they do not receive enough S.H.I.T. on the job, see your immediate supervisor… Your supervisor is specially trained to make sure you receive all the S.H..I.T. you can stand.
And, once again, thanks for all your years of loyal service with us!
The Management
Its time we started screwing, shafting and slapping our elected officials and the worthless, overpaid clowns they have placed in high positions. When will we quite accepting tax cheats, thiefs, and other criminals as our nations leaders?
