THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES - Barack Hussein Obama - The Eve of Destruction

An Opinion by Martin

One night I had a dream.  It was a dream about a powerful nation that had been conceived in Liberty and built on the ideal that, if a person worked hard enough, you could succeed.  Then I woke up.

I found that the dream was broken.  It was broken by Big Politics, Big Unions, and Big Businesses, but mainly by the greed of the government, at all levels, AND Barack Hussein Obama.

In 2008, when Barack Hussein Obama defeated John McCain for the Presidency of the United States, he was hailed as a fresh breath of air in the putrid stench of Washington, DC.  Obama had a chance for greatness and rebuilding the trust in government that has been destroyed over the years.

Instead, Obama immediately began to unravel our most sacred documents, The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and The Bill of Rights, by instituting a set of Left wing, European-style Socialist programs that are increasing the dependency on government and have led us down the path to both military and political impotence in the world today, near bankruptcy, and the total collapse of our Nation.

He immediately went back on his word NOT to allow “lobbyists” and “special interest” groups to continue business as usual in Washington, staffing his administration with Left-leaning ideologues, idiots, and criminals of various types.  When the People used to ballot box in 2010 to voice their disproval of his agendas, he has ignored the outcome of that election and backed up by Harry Reid and the Democrat-controlled Senate and Nancy Pelosi with her band of radical supporters in the House of Representatives has continued to thwart the will of the Voters by doing nothing at all to move the US from the economic doldrums into vibrant regrowth, opting instead to continue to move the Nation into a Third World economy and a mini-dictatorship.

Now Obama has decided that the people he purports to support, the workers, can be thrown off the cliff because he is siding with radical environmentalists and cancelled a proposal by the Canadians to build a pipeline to Houston, Texas.  The proposed pipeline would directly create several thousand well-paying jobs with benefits as well as jump-start other businesses (real estate and other service providers supporting the construction) and could truly start the Nation on the road to financial recovery.  Instead, Obama has decided that the seven billion dollar pipeline and thousands of jobs it would create are not necessary so the Canadians will most likely reroute the pipeline west, across Canada to British Columbia and the oil would be shipped to China.  This is a net loss in jobs and income for the American worker and entrepreneur.

The United States cannot endure four more years of this tyranny where one man has decided that he knows what’s good for you.  One man, who backed by radical unions, environmental groups and left-leaning politicians, feels that you are not able to run your own lives and the government can control your money, teach your children and manage your healthcare better than you can. 

Now, in November 2012, you, the Voters, have a chance to correct the Left drift of the United States.  You have a chance to remove Barack Hussein Obama from office and preserve the Union.

Commentary by Martin

To the Republican Presidential Candidates

The “Polls” suggest that negative political advertisements (“Attack Ads”), however, I am getting tired of the Republican candidates for the Office of US President abusing each other and not discussing how they will defeat Barack Hussein Obama in November 2012. 

I want to hear that you are going to explain to the American Citizens how Obama has torn the Constitution apart and is using it for toilet paper. 

I want to hear how you are going to explain to the American Citizens how you are going to rebuild the destruction that Obama created in our economy.

I want to hear how you are going to bring the Members of Congress and Obama’s Administration up on charges of treason for their dogged praise of our enemies and their absolute hatred of the United States and her allies.

I want to hear how you are going to take down this would-be dictator and his cronies.

I want to hear how you are going to rebuild the military the Obama and his cronies have destroyed.

You want people to support you for the Office of President, but I cannot see how that can be done until to cease spending money attacking each other and start explaining to me how you will defeat Obama and start rebuilding this nation.

You don’t have much time between now and November 2012.  I suggest that you start talking about what you will do as President, things that you really can do under the Constitution and not just give us “pie in the sky”.

TODAY IN THE UNITED STATES - An Open Letter To Congress

An Opinion by Martin

Dear Congressmen and Senators of Both Parties

Each and every one of you have violated the Oath you took when you accepted the votes of the People in your districts.  The Oath was to support the Constitution of the United States of America, to defend Her against enemies foreign and domestic.  In this you all have failed.  You have sold your services to the highest bidders (lobbyists, unions, and greed).  You have lined your own pockets with ill-gotten goods, special perks that are unavailable to the average American Citizen and set yourselves up in a style the European royalty of years past could only dream of.

You have destroyed the educational base of the Nation through “dumbing down” the system and creating a nation of sheep.  You have destroyed the manufacturing capability of this Country through taxation.  You are destroying our Military through defunding its programs and stealing the money for your “pet projects”.  And, you have committed many thousands of families to destruction through socialistic welfare programs that have failed at every turn.

In 2012, you have a chance to start turning this Nation around through lower taxes and incentives that can bring our Country back from the brink of disaster by returning numerous companies that have fled to our shores.

In 2012, you can rebuild our educational system through getting out of the way and allowing the States to control curriculum and teachers.  You could set some standards for completion at all levels of education, then stand back and watch as the system begins to work.  You’d be amazed how well this would work.  But then, you’d be losing power because the States would be able to do a better job than you can.

In 2012, The United States is facing many threats from both inside and outside the Country.  We are facing Islamist jihadists, radical unions, nuclear weapons in the hands of unstable governments, and the “Occupy Whatever” crowd of misguided, leftover tools who are actually protesting the wrong people.  Although, Wall Street and the Bankers have stolen millions, their thievery pales compared to what you have done.

2012 is the year you need to pause and reflect.  Do you work to save the Nation?  Or do you drive the United States onto the ash-heap of history?  

Letters to The Speaker of the House

Well!  You’ve Caved Again

Mr Speaker,

You were doing so well and now you've caved in again to Obama and his merry band of thieves.  Just when you are on the verge of winning, you snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

The TEA Party was born of Citizens who were tired of the wheeling and dealing with our money by a government that has gotten out of control and who believes that the feds know best about how to articulate, or ignore, the writings of The Founders.

Maybe you have been in DC too long and need a permanent vacation from public life and retire to Ohio before you are sent home in defeat by your constituency.  The time has come for the harried Voters/Taxpayers to send to Washington more Supporters of The Constitution.  People who understand what that Document stands for and how to respond to the Owners of this Formerly Great Nation.

We, the People, can no longer afford Presidents and Congressmen who believe that our wallets are their piggy banks.  You've had your chance and failed.  It is time for a chance.

Letters to The Speaker of the House

Failure to Shutdown the Moneypit

Mr. Speaker,

With all due respect, you have caved once again to the Obama thugs and criminals.  You have approved One Trillion dollars to keep a corrupt government open and in position to steal more money from the Taxpayers of this Formerly Great Nation. 

Once again, the Republicans have proved that they can be bought, putting the American People deeper in debt.

You know as well as I do that the Obama Regime has no intention to cut spending, no intention to do the work that is required by The Constitution, ie: Defending against Enemies, Foreign AND Domestic which can include bureaucrats, politicians, judiciary, lobbyists and "czars" which are illegal in the first place.

Once again, you have proven that you are more willing to support a corrupt Executive Branch than work for the People who elected you and the Republican Party.

Once again, you have let the Voters/Taxpayers of the United States down.

THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES - The Pretender in Chief

Opinion by Martin

One night I had a dream.  It was a dream about a powerful nation that had been conceived in Liberty and built on the ideal that, if a person worked hard enough, you could succeed.  Then I woke up.
I found the dream was broken.  It was broken by Big Politics, Big Unions, and Big Business, but mainly by the greed of government at all levels.  And, since 2008, we have had a Pretender in Chief - Barack Hussein Obama.

On the eve of Christmas 2011, I am forced to look back over our history once again and see where we are and where we have been.

Since the Declaration of Independence and the Revolution that split the United States from England, we Americans have fought an internal battle against numerous demons, among them was slavery which was one of the contributing factors to a fierce War of Seccession during the 1860s that split a country not yet 100 years old.  As the United States moved forward to the 20th Century, we experienced the expansion of our Nation at the expense of the Indians who lived on the Western Plains and "Jim Crow" Laws which made Black Americans less than whole citizens.  We overcame that injustice in the 1960s when the Voting Rights Act and several other important pieces of legislation were passed with the help of the Republican Party because the majority of the Democrat Party was opposed to equal rights under law.  The stage has been set for the first Black President of the United States.

Now, we have the Pretender in Chief, Barack Hussein Obama, whose father was a black British subject from Kenya who was never a citizen of the United States and had no intention of becoming a citizen, and a white mother from Kansas.  (see Note Below)
There is a question as to whether or not the present occupier of the White House is actually eligible to serve as President.  The question is whether or not he was born in the State of Hawaii or the Nation of Kenya.  As a resident of Illinois, the question of heritage was not a difficulty because he could be, and was, as State Legislator or a United States Senator.  However, this particular question became pertinent when he ran for the Presidency, because according to the Constitution, the fact that his father was not an American citizen by itself was enough to disqualify him from becoming the President.  This small requirement was ignored by the Democrat Party of Illinois, the National Democrat Party, and the Mainstream Media.

Since Obama was elected to the Presidency in 2008 and sworn in January 2009, he has traveled the world apologizing for the United States.  He has expended national treasure destroying our economy and our national will to resist the Federal Government and his plans to build a socialist nation in place of the capitalistic engine that built a great Nation that, for the most part, won two world wars and rebuilt most of Europe after World War II.  And now, in a recent speech in Kansas, he has admitted to being a Socialist and wants the government to control everything in your life.

In 2012, You have the chance to start rebuilding the United States as outlined in th eDeclaration of Independence and The Constitution.
In 2012 You have a chance to turn back Barack Hussein Obama and the Forces of Darkness which wish to destroy the United states of America.

God Bless America!!

NOTE:
Presidential Eligibility:
Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution sets the principal qualifications one must meet to be eligible to the Office of President.  A President must:
          Be a natural born citizen of the United states. (both parents must be citizens of the United States.)
          Be at least tirty-five years old.
          Have been apermanent resident of the United States for at least fourteen years.

THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES - The 10th Amendment - Nullification

An Opinion by Martin

One night I had a dream.  It was a dream about a powerful nation that had been conceived in Liberty and built on the ideal that, if a person worked hard enough, you could succeed.  Then I woke up.
I found the dream was broken.  It had been broken by Big Politics, Big Unions, and Big Businesses, but mainly by the greed of governments, at all levels.

While the Constitution itself and each Amendment is being violated on a daily basis by Congress in general and this Administration in particular, it is the 10th Amendment that is the subject of this discussion. 
The question of Nullification has once again been raising its head with regards to States Rights and the Right of the People to refuse to surrender their Constitutional Rights to a central government that has gone out of control.  The People are beginning to honestly understand that the present government, the Congress, the Presidency, and the Judiciary do not have the best interests of the Nation at heart and that the people sent to represent them, at all levels, in the Nation's Capital are for sale to the highest bidder as opposed to working for theTaxpayers and Voters.  And, that the only time these erstwhile representatives listen to the voice of the people is when they want to be reelected to office.

The Constitution was created by The Founders as the Operating Manual for the United States of America.  This document outlines and directs the behavior of the Federal Government and numerous State Constitutions mimic the rules and regulations within.  When the framers of The Constitution completed the document. they realized that while they had included a set of levers that controlled the powers of Government, they had not really spelled the powers that belonged to the States and the People.  They almost immediately amended The Constitution with the First 10 Amendments - The Bill of Rights - that spelled out the Rights that are given to the States and the Citizens.  The Bill of Rights is at the bottom of this article.

Before you look at the impact of the Bill of Rights, you must look at the time in which the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution were written.  This historical information is readily available on the Internet if you wish to read it for yourself.

When the Thirteen Colonies declared Independence from England, they became thirteen individual countries.  Each one of these new countries had its own government with no more legal ties to the other except for the cooperative arrangements made in the War for Independence.  If the war was decided in the favor of the colonies, they would be thirteen separate little countries living on one part of the North American continent.  That's how things stood when the Declaration of Independence was announced after July 4th, 1776. 
One of the Founding Fathers, a Virginian named Richard Henry Lee, proposed a plan to bring these thirteen independent entities together in a confederation.  Lee suggested that a plan be put together and transmitted to the respective Colonies for the consideration and acceptance/rejection.  The Continental Congress immediately set up a committee to consider this plan and the Articles of Confederation was passed on November 15, 1777; was ratified by the individual colonies and became law on March 1, 1781. 
I have provided a link to the Articles of Confederation here:  www.usconstitution.net/articles.html.

The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution allows the States nd the Citizens of those States to hold the reins of the Federal Government and prevent a "royalty" from establishing itself through usurpation of the Constitution by elected officials in Washington, DC.  The Tenth Amendment is a simple, yet powerful statement telling the Federal Government that it has no powers other than those outlined in the Constitution and that the Citizens and the States are the "ruling class".

Amendment X
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.

Nullification:
Definition - The action of a State impeding or attempting to prevent the operation and enforcement within its territory of a law of the United States.
Example - The Sedition Act by Congress to abridge the Freedom of the Press was ignored by the States and became an illustration of nullification.
Because of the Tenth Amendment, some people believe that the States have the Right to declare laws passed by Congress null and void within the boundaries of the various States.  For instance, you can look at The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Obamacare).  This act signed by the President has been challenged in court by 26 States as unconstitutional and, while the challenges have been working their way theough the courts, numerous companies have asked for, and received exemptions from the various aspects of the Law.  Several States have also passed laws that exempt their citizens from this confiscatory Act that will take over about 1/3 of the Nation's economy with no appreciable improvement to the availability of healthcare.
The government website http://www.healthcare.gov/ paints a very rosy picture about how the Act will make healthcare more accessible for the general population by not allowing insurance companies to refuse coverage for preexisting illnenss which is akin to a country putting together an army after it has been attacked.

The Impact of Nullification

Nullification is a Constitutional theory that gives an individual State the Right to declare null and void an law passed by the United States Congress which the State deems to have an inverse impact on its citizens and is unacceptable and unconstitutional.  The Nullification Concept had its first major test in the slavery/anti-slavery problems that faced this young Nation in the 40 years prior to the Civil War.  The question was whether or not the Federal Government had the right to tell a State what was or was not acceptable.  The result was over 600,000 dead Americans in a bloody war that lasted four years.

Nullification!  The very word sends shivers down the spines of the "ruling class" because it means that the People, working through their Local and State governments, are beginning to want their Country back and are demanding that the people sent to Washington remember who funds the Country and pays the bills.
As you looke at the damage done to this Nation since the time of Theodore Roosevelt by the three Branches of Government and review that damage in the context of The Constitution and the first Ten Amendments (The Bill of Rights), you too should make the decision that it is time to join with your friends and neighbors to tell the politicians in Washington that you are tired of a bunch of "ordinary citizens" setting themselves up as potentates and that they no longer represent you.  IT IS TIME TO TAKE YOUR COUNTRY BACK!  It is time to take it away from the politicians, unions, environmentalists, and other special interest groups who don't care about you daily life.  All they want power over you.  Each State has the Right, no, the Duty, to put an end to the power grab by the Federal Government and to tell the politicians that the free ride has come to an end, that they are no different than each of us, Citizens of the United States of America.  The Constitution is the Law of the Land, and is not to be usurped.  This war of ideas has been underway since the beginning of the 20th Century.  Today, we have a chance to regain our Country.  IT DEPENDS ON YOU!
