In Trouble are we all...........

Hi all, hope your doing great today. I found some info/pictures I'd like to share with you.

~I think the Paul's are on to something.......Think about this for a second:

How many Kings&Queens have ruled the earth/pieces of it?
How many Kingdoms have existed? Rome, Greece..........
Think of LONG ago those did exist.......and look at where we are now.
Think of the Man power it took to build the complex system that is the U.S.A, Russia, India, China..............
How many people live on the planet? and how many have their own ideas about things?
How many different languages are there?
Tell me, out of all the people you personally know, have any of them/are any of them involved in something BIG? Like a massive corporation? Group? Organization?---something that has a direct influence on the world's economic status.
I have a feeling not many.
So my point.....we are not connected to the people that really run the country/world. There seems to be this huge disconnect between the powers that be and people governed. Watch any epic movie.......maybe like Alexander. You'll see the war now is in our heads, between government affairs and US.

and

The bloated military complex is just wrong/too big......unless another Planet attacks us for crying out loud--maybe that's what we need?

Anyway, I think we could all join together and do something?!?! What do you say?

We have come a long way.................... Someone paid/pays for this/these. Someone with a brain like yours and mine made this/these. What happened to the trees--Nature--Life? What is "life" for? Money? Greed? Power? What were we/are we to do with Life--this body we have--this gift? Please watch: Koyaanisqatsi

Follow-up to: The unanswered question

An easy read with excellent points
Peter Heck - Guest Columnist - 2/1/2010 8:30:00 AM

Two weeks ago, I wrote a column addressing how our current out-of-control leadership in Washington is attempting to pass laws they have no constitutional authority to enact.
After it was published, I received a host of emails from people that could be lumped into three main categories. The first group included those who said that the Constitution is outdated, and therefore irrelevant in conversations about modern American politics. Addressing the breathtaking ignorance and danger of such a proposition would take up the rest of this column and about 50 more. Suffice it to say that the frail paper under glass in Washington is all that stands between we the people and submission to tyrants.

The second group of responses went something like this: "I think you're right....I had never thought about that." As reassuring as it is to get positive feedback, in this case that kind of response only reemphasized my initial concern: our power hungry leadership knows the people are unaware of our foundational document and use that knowledge as an excuse to run roughshod over the carefully enumerated limits to their power.

But the largest reaction I received was from concerned citizens who, like me, have been complacent for far too long in demanding that our leaders stick to the Constitution. Citizens who, like me, excused unconstitutional behavior of the president – so long as it was a president from our political party. Citizens who, like me, might have been uncomfortable with the silent encroachment of those in power into our daily lives, but who accepted it because we "trusted" the ones who were facilitating it.

But greater than the sense of guilt that comes from realizing you have failed your solemn duty to defend principle above power must be the sense of resolve to never let it happen again. That is the way of patriots, and that is where I think a growing majority of Americans are finding themselves. As a result, they are wondering where to turn and are asking what to do to restore Constitutional government. The answer is closer than they think.

In 1798, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison authored the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions in response to the very type of federal government overreach that we are experiencing today. In those resolutions, these giants of American government tell us exactly where we as concerned citizens should be turning when Congress exceeds their constitutional authority – our state:
"The several States composing the United States of America are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government; but that, by a compact under the style and title of a Constitution...they constituted a general government for special purposes – delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving, each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their own self government."

As columnist Daniel Baker explains, what that means is that the States are co-partners in owning the Constitution, and collectively "hired" Congress, the president and Supreme Court to manage it. Like the owners of any business, if those they have hired to run it are abusing their duties and responsibilities – or assuming authority they have not been rightfully given – the owners (States) have the power to take corrective action.

This flies in the face of what has become conventional wisdom. We have wrongfully accepted the notion that since Article VI of the Constitution gives the national government "supremacy" over the states if the two have conflicting laws that must mean whatever the national government wants to do, the states must accept it. Wrong. The supremacy clause ONLY applies to those areas where the states have given the national government the authority to legislate.

But in areas where the national government has no constitutional authority to act (healthcare, education, etc.), the founders were clear: "where powers are assumed which have not been delegated, a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy." That's right – the states must exert their authority and refuse to enact within their borders any national legislation that is beyond the national government's constitutional bounds.

And if the national government objects to the nullification of their laws, the Constitution gives them no recourse. As Jefferson wrote, "[the States] alone...[are] parties to the compact, and solely authorized to judge in the last resort of the powers exercised under it, Congress not being a party, but merely a creature of the compact, and subject...to the final judgment of...[the States]."

Barack Obama made clear in his State of the Union Address that he has no desire to alter course and is calling on Democrats to double down on enacting legislation they have no authority to enact. Yes, that means it is our solemn duty to toss them from office at the first opportunity. But even more importantly, our immediate answer should be to elect state officials with the spine to flex their muscles and exert their rightful check on the abuses of the national government.

The unanswered question
Peter Heck - Guest Columnist - 1/18/2010 9:50:00 AM

Peter HeckAmerica, we've got a real problem. No, this isn't a superficial recitation of all my objections to the Obama administration. It isn't a reminder of the existential threat we face from radical Islam. And it's not the increasingly devastating loss of our moral bearings as a people that I'm talking about. The problem we face is the shocking unfamiliarity that average citizens have about how our government is supposed to work.

The current healthcare debate is a perfect example. While both sides state their case as to why the legislation is needed or not, we completely ignore what should have been the very first question. We debate the merits of the bribes, sweetheart deals for unions, the public option, Medicare cuts, and the inevitable debt explosion that will result from government involvement in healthcare, but we don't even think about addressing the only question that – until it is answered – should truly matter: does Congress have the constitutional authority to deal with this issue?

Here we are, decades into the debate and a year into the actual formulation of such a plan, and the folks who are navigating this bill through Congress have yet to answer that fundamental question.

When asked where the Constitution gave Congress the authority to enact the type of legislation they are attempting, New Jersey Democrat Senator Frank Lautenberg responded by saying, "I am not going to answer that," as he walked away. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi just scoffed at the question repeating, "Are you serious? Are you serious?"

Yes, Ms. Pelosi, we are serious. And the fact that you don't find significant this question of whether Congress is acting beyond its constitutionally mandated bounds speaks volumes about your leadership and fitness for office.

And those Congressmen who actually do try to answer the question are perhaps even more concerning. When asked if he could say where Congress was getting their authority to enact a healthcare mandate, North Dakota Democrat Senator Kent Conrad responded, "No," but then took a stab at it anyway: "I assume it's in the Commerce clause."

It's not. But that's not even the most astounding part of his answer. Here is a man who swore an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, and yet he is supporting a piece of federal legislation that he just assumes is constitutionally acceptable? This should be the first hurdle any piece of legislation must pass before even considering its merits.

Democrat Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas said she thought Congress had the authority because the Constitution, "charges Congress with the health and well-being of the people." The fact that the words "health" and "well-being" are not found anywhere in the document doesn't seem to faze her.

But Lincoln is not alone. The "general welfare" argument has apparently become the standard line Democrats are now giving around the country when asked this question. But if we are going to accept such a bloated interpretation of the general welfare clause, we should all know where it will lead. How long until we see the "Congressional Broccoli Act," requiring every American citizen to purchase $50 worth of the green weed every week? How could such an infringement on our economic liberty be defended you ask? Well, eating broccoli is clearly in our best interest, and thus undoubtedly serves the general welfare of the people. Therefore Congress should mandate it whether you want it or not. It's for your own good.

Is this just a silly exaggeration? Not if you listen to California Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein. She was asked by CNSNews.com, "If there's a health-insurance mandate, is there a limit to that authority? Is there something that can't be mandated [like broccoli]?" Her response says it all: "My own view is that there is not."

The truth is that these lawmakers are certainly aware of the fact that the Constitution of the United States does not give the national government any authority to enact the type of bill they are currently manufacturing. But sadly, they are also aware of the fact that the people of the United States don't know any better. And even worse, many Americans who do know it is unconstitutional are willing to look the other way because they want to support the leaders of their Party.

When he emerged from the long, arduous proceedings of the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked, "Well Doctor, what have we got?" Franklin replied, "A republic, if you can keep it." So long as we allow ignorance and loyalty to political parties to supersede our allegiance to the Constitution, we are proving that we cannot.
