I've been incommunicado for the past week, for which I apologize. This last week has been the most distressing and alarming period of my adult life, so much so, that it has left me depressed beyond description, with feelings of hopelessness that have been difficult to combat. I am simply in stunned disbelief as I watch the avalanche of doom descend upon this great nation and I am wondering whether this country can be salvaged.
The Hopey Changey dictatorship and this rogue Congress are working feverishly to enslave the citizens on so many fronts, it is impossible to keep up with.
The House of Representatives are now considering a blatantly unconstitutional parliamentary move, appropriately named the Slaughter Rule, which would abolish the unambiguous requirement that both houses of Congress have a vote on the same bill in order to legally pass legislation and would simply deem the Senate Health Care bill to have passed. This procedure is defined in Article 1, Section 7 of the Constitution.
But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively.
In the meanwhile, under the radar, by Executive Orders, a massive land grab of 10 million acres is under way, the regulation of all bodies of water under Marine Spatial Planning is being considered which would severely restrict the people access to our waterways, bays and oceans, and nobody really knows what other surprises are in store for us by the schemers that now control the strings of power.
Let's recap, shall we? In a little over a year this government has seized control of:
a major segment of the auto industry, banking industry, mortgage industry, financial industry, and are working towards controlling the student loan industry all while dictating salaries and bonuses for employees of private companies.
They want to regulate carbon emissions, all waterways, grab massive tracts of land, have plunged us into unrecoverable debt, are raiding the Treasury and doling out our assets to their henchmen and professional societal parasites, and have caused the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs while massively growing the federal workforce, hoping to legalize illegal aliens, have loaded the justice department with lawyers sympathetic to terrorists, and the list goes on and on and on.
Pretty soon they will have total control over the land, the water, the air, and this week they want to seize control of your body through the Health Care bill. What's left to regulate? I'd say nothing. What remains to be stolen? Stay tuned.
My friends, we are now living in something that can only be described as TYRANNY and the tyrants disregard for the people is willful, blatant and quite simply, criminal.
And what are we doing about it? Next to nothing, from what I can tell. While the Tea Parties are squabbling, planning galas, and artificial events based upon their calendars, tyranny is using its own calendar, to which we appear to be paying little or no attention.
THIS IS THE TIME TO ACT!!
Everything up until now, although worthwhile, will be meaningless unless we go up to DC on Tuesday to remind them that we will not stand idly by while they steal our liberties.
Or will we? Have we grown weary of the fight? Are we willing to allow ourselves to be made into chattel of the state because it was too inconvenient to do our duty as citizens? Believe me, I am as sick of fighting my own government every single day as the next guy, but this is the OK Corral. Or the Alamo. Pick your own analogy.
Everybody who is capable needs to get to Washington ON TUESDAY with a brand new message for our Congress.
If you vote for this healthcare bill against our will, not only will you be defeated in your next election, We, the people, are going to demand investigations regarding the back room deals, bribes, kickbacks and the other activities that went on in this Congress and will bring you up on charges, if appropriate. Treason may be difficult to prove, but each and everyone one of you have violated your oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
We are at war with an internal enemy that plays by a different set of rules, the Alinsky/SEIU/ACORN rules. They will stop at nothing, will break any law, use subterfuge, outright lies, intimidation and threats. Obama has delayed his trip to Asia in anticipation of a signing ceremony this week.
The time for respectful discussion, courteousness and measured political discourse needs to be abandoned and true anger needs to be displayed, outrage be expressed and we need to start making threats of our own.
This is absolutely our last chance to preserve our liberty.
I am not alone in my sentiments. Go read Dan Riehl's post, If you prick them they will bleed.
But the Left's political arguments must be confronted forcefully, even outrageously at times if that's what it takes to get through. Think of it in terms of what Andrew Breitbart is doing in the world of media activism today.
He is calling them out, confronting them, exposing them for what they are and what they believe. And when you prick them like that, they do bleed. Figuratively speaking, if we don't make them bleed, we will lose. We have been playing politely for decades now. And America has only continued its slide to the Left. And in the face of a pending vote on Obama Care, there is no more room left to give.
I'm not advocating violence. But I am advocating confrontation. Otherwise, most especially now, this one in the White House and his Congressional colleagues seem content to ignore you - to shine you on and you will get only what they choose to give you in the end. That is not the lot of the free man, or woman. It is the lot of the slave, the serf, if you prefer.
Steadfast and loyal,
Jim Smyers
