Paying the Price of Freedom

It is Pearl Harbor Day again, and America’s military is still very much involved in declared and undeclared wars and violence. This is the price of freedom, of which many people are unaware, except these marines and their surviving families. Thank you, Wayne.

The Dangerous Attack on Constitutional Government

Frank Vernuccio serves as editor-in-chief of the New York Analysis of Policy & Government (website usagovpolicy.com). He posted this article today, which I believe says what Obama has been up to for his entire term, and we the people are sick of it.
Bruce

Here is the last paragraph followed by the entire article:

 

"What is truly worrisome about the anti-Constitutional statements and actions by many leftists/progressive politicians, pundits and others is that the basic thrust of their argument is not just a revision or even a total rewrite of the document that has made the United States the world’s most successful nation, but for the elimination of a guiding document at all.  Their vision replaces the ideology of the American Revolution and its subsequent philosophy of a government restrained by law with that of the French and Russian revolutions, in which an elitist leadership accumulates power unto itself and imposes, without the restriction or restraint of law, its vision upon a people that are not truly citizens but instead mere subjects."

 

Frank's article:

The United States is in great danger from those who advocate, condone or simply ignore the trend towards defying Constitutional mandates and practices.

America is about to turn a corner in which a movement that has engaged in the practices of ignoring Constitutional provisions and applying a different standard of law for the powerful, while pursuing the supremacy of government by power and influence rather than by rule of law, seeks to retain the White House.

The spokespersons for that movement have not been shy. In an interview reported by MRCTV  Secretary of State John Kerry hailed Obama “for his ability to ‘circumvent Congress’ in getting parts of his energy policy enacted.”  Whether acting domestically in his assaults on the coal industry, or internationally in his acceptance of the Paris Climate “accord,” the White House ignored the legislative branch and the Constitutional provisions which require its assent. In essence, the President acted as a one-man government.

The reduction of the Constitution from its position as the controlling law of the land has been an ongoing and increasing threat. While many presidents have at times quietly exceeded their authority, the blatant and open institutionalization of this practice during the past eight years has been extreme and exceptional.

Whether in direct statements from Mr. Obama that he would “not wait for Congress to Act,” and that he had a “pen and a phone” and would not hesitate to use them if Congress did not acquiesce to his will,  or in the use of the IRS to harass opposition political groups, or the overarching influence of major Democrat political donors such as Tom Steyer over the Environmental Protection Agency, or the transformation of the Department of Justice into a partisan agency, the exclusion of Constitutional practices in favor of “strong man” tactics has been dire and dangerous.

The Justice Department example is one that should worry every citizen.  J. Christian Adams, who served in the Voting section of the Justice Department, describes how the Obama Administration changed the organization’s hiring practices to ensure that only radical leftists would wield influence—and use that influence for partisan purposes. He described, in his book “Injustice” how the supposedly neutral government agency sided with political bosses.

While Adams concentrates on the Justice Department’s role in election law, the same problems exist in that agency’s misdeeds regarding Hillary Clinton’s email violations. The indictment of other figures for committing deeds similar to but far lesser in scope than the former Secretary of States’ email crimes, while refusing to indict Clinton, is a clear example of how political considerations rather than the objective enforcement of the law motivates government agencies in the Obama-Clinton era.

In many ways, the overwhelming influence of partisan political interests over federal agencies during the Obama Administration resembles the role of Communist Party commissars over the Soviet State or the Gestapo in Nazi Germany.  (Before pundits go wild and claim we are comparing the Obama Administration to Communists or Nazis, which we are not, the point we are making is that the extraordinary influence of political interests over nonpartisan ones in government agencies does have historical antecedents in those prior and unsavory regimes.)

Historical examples provide clear warnings of what can happen when central governing documents containing strictly observed guarantees of rights do not exist. American slavery provides one such illustration. Africans transported to the colonies were at first considered indentured servants, similar to those from Europe. There was a reasonable expectation that after a stated period of time, they would be freed.  But the elites of the time—wealthy property owners, and those claiming to have scientific expertise in the matter—found it more convenient to keep blacks in bondage.  Absent a guarantee of rights, slavery was born. Even after the practice ended following the Civil War, a willingness to ignore the newly enacted Thirteenth Amendment (“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”) deprived blacks of many of their rights.

It should be noted that the same political party that supported slavery and then, in defiance of the Constitution, segregation, now supports the President and other politicians that espouse defying  Constitutional mandates.

The historical antecedents of the Obama Administration’s disregard for the Constitution have been brewing for many years in leftist circles. Writing in The Nation  almost 30 years ago, Howard Zinn stated: “… like other historic documents, the Constitution is of minor importance compared with the actions that citizens take, especially when those actions are joined in social movements…A constitution is a fine adornment for a democratic society, but it is no substitute for the energy, boldness and concerted action of the citizens.”

The concept was echoed numerous times over the intervening years. Professor Michael Seidman, writing in 2012  in the New York Times, argued: “…observers are reaching the conclusion that the American system of government is broken.  But almost no one blames the culprit: our insistence on obedience to the Constitution, with all its archaic, idiosyncratic and downright evil provisions.”

Yuval Levin and Ramesh Ponnuru, writing in National Review, notes that

“mainstream liberals now advance a vision of American government that is increasingly contemptuous of our system’s democratic character and that seeks to break through the restraints of the constitutional system in pursuit of their policy ends.  They advance this vision in three ways. First, contemporary liberalism has come to ardently champion executive unilateralism…the second way…is closely connected to the first: today’s left is the party of the administrative state, which is often the means by which executive unilateralism operates but is also far more than that. The term ‘administrative state’ refers to the tangle of regulatory agencies that populate the executive branch, including the least nominally ‘independent.’ They increasingly govern beyond the control of the other branches and therefore at times generally outside the confines of our constitutional system.” Levin and Ponnuru add a third way: a judicial branch that advocates an agenda rather than enforces the law. “Liberals want everyone but Congress—at least so long as they do not control it—to advance… [their] agenda.”

In a recent Constitution Day speech, Senator Warren Hatch (R-Utah) noted:

“Unfortunately, there are some today who view the Constitution as an obstacle to overcome, a barrier to supposed progress… Surely the exigencies of the day, they argue, warrant bypassing or even ignoring the separation of powers, federalism, and other critical elements of our constitutional structure.   Although some of these individuals may be well intentioned, they are fundamentally misguided…The Constitution limits government in order to preserve freedom.  It makes each branch the equal of the others and the states the equals of Washington, DC.  It provides a check on all government action.  It divides power among multiple sources because no one individual or office can be trusted with all authority.  And it requires cooperation at all levels and all stages to ensure that changes in law are thoroughly vetted rather than rammed through by temporary majorities.  These are the principles that should guide us as we seek solutions to our Nation’s challenges…Legislation that preserves the separation of powers rather than delegating vast lawmaking authority to an unelected bureaucracy also honors the Constitution’s teachings.  So do regulations that stay within the bounds of agency authority.  When agencies exceed their statutory mandate, they do violence to the Constitution’s careful system of checks of balances.  They assume power that is not theirs to take and remove decisions from the give-and-take of the democratic process.  This is particularly problematic when the obvious purpose of the agency action is to bypass Congress.”

What is truly worrisome about the anti-Constitutional statements and actions by many leftists/progressive politicians, pundits and others is that the basic thrust of their argument is not just a revision or even a total rewrite of the document that has made the United States the world’s most successful nation, but for the elimination of a guiding document at all.  Their vision replaces the ideology of the American Revolution and its subsequent philosophy of a government restrained by law with that of the French and Russian revolutions, in which an elitist leadership accumulates power unto itself and imposes, without the restriction or restraint of law, its vision upon a people that are not truly citizens but instead mere subjects.

Media's Anti-Trump Bias Obvious in Second Presidential Debate

 

Hello again, readers. I have been inactive on my blog for several months due to life events and medical reasons, and I plan to be more active.

The New American web site published this article written by C. Mitchell Shaw about the second presidential debate. I must tell you upfront that I am a political conservative, and I am biased that way, but it seemed to me that Trump did not get a fair shake. There are serious issues with Clinton to which the mainstream media gives scant or no attention, i.e. her mishandling of government emails, her mishandling of classified information and her mishandling of a situation in which an American ambassador was killed. The link to the article is

http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/24245-media-s-anti-trump-bias-obvious-in-second-presidential-debate and the first paragraph is: “The second presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump was yet another exercise in liberal media bias. Almost from the beginning, the tone was clear: Trump would be taken to task and held to answering direct questions while Clinton would be allowed to redirect, obfuscate, and dodge. The pattern held true throughout the debate.”

When we vote this time, we will choose to have Clinton’s socialism, leftism and big government, or Trump’s pursuit of “Make America great again”. As a veteran, that is the important issue for me.

Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself studied the previous failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, His laws, and the nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today. 

Jefferson really Knew his stuff. 

A voice from the Past to lead us in the future: 

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the White House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time.

He made this statement: "This is perhaps The assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in The White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone." 

 

"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe,  we shall become as corrupt as Europe ." 

-- 

Thomas Jefferson 

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those  Who are willing to work and give to those who would not." 
--
Thomas Jefferson 

"It is incumbent on every generation To pay its own debts as it goes.  A principle which if acted on would save One-half the wars of the world." 
--
Thomas Jefferson 

"I predict future happiness for Americans If they can prevent the government From wasting the labors of the people under the Pretense of taking care of them." 

--
Thomas Jefferson 

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government  results From too much government." 

-- 

Thomas Jefferson 

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of Arms." 

-- 

Thomas Jefferson 

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right To keep and bear arms is,  as a Last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in Government." 
--
Thomas Jefferson 

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to Time  with the Blood of patriots and tyrants." 

-- 

Thomas Jefferson 

"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves  And abhors is sinful and tyrannical."
-- 

Thomas Jefferson 

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: 
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. 

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, First by inflation, then by deflation, The banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks  will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." 

Only the Abolishment of our Tyrannical Government will Save America

Good for Dale Summitt, who is the author of this article and who isn't afraid of stating his opinions.

 

Here is a short excerpt.

“We are now more than six years into the utter destruction of America being perpetrated by the Obama administration and abetted by his Radical Marxist/Islamist appointees in our Executive Branch.   Much damage was inflicted during Obama's first term, but the dark and tragic 2012 election when 51% of voters granted him a second term (the legitimacy of his " Presidency " is, for several reasons, highly suspect at best ) has resulted in literally a " reign of terror " during which our nation is rapidly being torn asunder.   Unless you are among those foolish Americans paying little or no attention to these cataclysmic events, you are woefully aware of how close we are as a nation in 2015, to political conditions that existed 1860 and in 1774.

…we are sitting on a "powder keg" in America of deeply felt fear, anger and desperation in a large segment of our citizenry.   The duel set of dangerous conditions America in 2015 are: first, we are forced to live under tyrannical oppression by our government, as were American Colonists in the 1770s; second, we are more deeply and fiercely divided politically into two nations, one Constitutional Conservatives, the other Neo-Marxist Leftists, than at any time since 1860.   America today is a nation politically divided in rage, fear and mistrust, ruled by tyrannical elites who have nearly destroyed our once great nation.

For almost seven years America has suffered terribly at the hands of an arrogant, defiant and unconstitutionally lawless Executive Branch under Barack Obama, subjugating and suppressing the will of the people and suffocating our freedoms.   His utter disregard for the Bill of Rights has so violently struck us with so many illegal executive dictates that Americans are "punch drunk" -but, with "blood in our eye" stinging from oppression, are ready to fight back with the fury of a people with little left to lose.

All three branches of the national government in Washington, as well as the majority of both political parties, have established tyranny, in the place of Freedom; have established tyranny, in the place of Justice; and, have established tyranny, in the place of "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness".   America is now divided into two separate nations within one; one "nation" demanding freedom, liberty and justice for all, and the other "nation" demanding the enslavement of all in exchange for Judas' "30 pieces of silver" - commonly known as the welfare-state/corporate-state-dictatorship.”

The 9/11 Methodical Illusion

Here it a summary of the introduction to the book, Methodical Illusion by Rebekah Roth, that I just finished reading. It is dedicated to: Those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. I have omitted some text, but I wanted to give you the gist. To me it is very interesting reading. The author is working on a sequel.

“I enjoyed a nearly-thirty-year airline career, working as both a flight attendant and an international purser…

My expertise and training as a flight attendant allowed me to research the events of September 11, 2001, with an insider’s knowledge that eventually led me to discover details and answers to some of the most haunting questions surrounding that infamous day in our history…

At least four of the accused hijackers threatened to sue the U.S. government and the FBI if they did not stop using their names and identities. That discovery, along with the U.S. government's refusal to discontinue their false accusations, ignited my curiosity.

After thousands of hours of research, using official government documents, print and video media from 9/ 11, and several books, I discovered that there were also at least two women involved in the 9/ 11 event. Using my personal knowledge of in-flight procedures, FAA hijacking protocols, the state of Massachusetts, and cell phone technology, I discovered yet-to-be-exposed details concerning the planes, the passengers, and the perpetrators, all of which are woven into Methodical Illusion.

…I am now considered by many to be a foremost expert on the events of September 11, 2001. I invite the reader to contact me with any questions through my website www.methodicalillusion.com.”

The memories of 9/11 aren't fading. I believe that the so-called "official government story" that we citizens have been fed is BS. Rebecca Roth's version is possibly much more accurate. Read her book. You decide.

Gov't Operation Denies You Access to Guns & Gold

This story comes from a company named Wholesale Direct Metals, Inc. a discount volume precious metals dealer. The story is obviously against tyrannical government.

"As first exposed by the Wall Street Journal, the Department of Justice and bank regulators are unconstitutionally pressuring banks to refuse banking services to perfectly legal industries, under the guise that they pose a “reputation risk” to the bank. Not surprisingly, two of the main industries targeted by this illegal program just happen to be two of the biggest threats to the federal government: guns and gold...

 

Operation Choke Point

 

As initially reported by the Wall Street Journal, “Operation Choke Point” was secretly launched to cut certain industries off from banking services, under the pretense that they jeopardize the “reputation” of the banks... 

 

What’s more, Operation Choke Point is conducted without first having shown that the targeted companies are violating the law. All of the targeted industries are perfectly legal, and the companies have not been charged with any crime...

 

There’s no need to explain why the federal government would want to shut down gun manufacturers & sellers. A well regulated militia, although necessary to the security of a free state, is a direct threat to a tyrannical government. The question is, why target gold? The obvious answer: gold is as great a threat to the nefarious interests of the state as guns are!

 

Why? Because the United States and governments across the globe are increasingly turning to private wealth confiscation in order to manage their massive debts and maintain their power structure."

How Many Constitutional Freedoms Do We Still Have?

I received a reference from Edward to a terrific database named “Washington’s Blog.” It covers many topics, and what caught my eye was “How Many Constitutional Freedoms Do We Still Have?”

 

I’ll get to the link shortly, but first here is an Overview for New Readers and a brief discussion of love and freedom and how they can affect your courage and your bravery to do the right thing when things are not going your way.

 

Thanks very much Edward. This is long read but well worth the time.

Overview for New Readers of Washington’s Blog

Washington’s Blog strives to provide real-time, well-researched and actionable information.

We at Washington’s Blog have an insatiable curiosity for new discoveries, new information and new insights.

Despite our passion for what’s new, there are themes that we keep reporting on year after year, as they reflect a bigger picture which remains fairly constant, or the root causes of our problems which have still not been addressed, or potentially powerful solutions which have still never been tried.

For example, we note again and again that government leaders are doing all of the wrong things for the economy, and that the economy cannot fundamentally stabilize – and we cannot regain prosperity – unless:

§  The widespread fraud as a business model by the biggest Wall Street players is prosecuted

§  The giant but insolvent banks are broken up

§  Government policies stop making the rich richer and everyone else poorer

§  Government stops encouraging insane levels of leverage

§  Governments stop trying to prop up unsustainable levels of debt to protect bondholders, and start forcing a debt “jubilee”

§  The endless wars are stopped (contrary to widespread myth, war greatly weakens our economy)

 

“Remember that the mother bear is one of the fiercest animals of all. Just get between a mother bear and her cub and you’ll see what I mean. It is her love of her cub which gives her the heart to face any enemy when her cub is threatened. It is not her level of testosterone, but rather her love for her cub which makes her so fierce.

Just as discipline is more than just willpower, courage stems from something bigger than just cojones. In fact, the strongest courage comes from the love of something we care about, since our heart will sustain us even when the chips are really down and we are really up against a tyrant. As the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu said: “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. “

In addition, we’re no longer living in the old west. Individualism is very important in numerous ways, but we can only win against the tyrants as a team, as a community, as a nation. And only by opening our hearts to what matters will we be able to work together, to fight for all of our kids, and all of our freedom. Only then will we be able to put the crooks and the looters and the tyrants back in the box.”

Operation Polar Pen

There was a letter in today's mail from a man named Schaeffer Cox, who claims that he and his family were railroaded by the Obama administration. He is in jail because he supported the Second Amendment. His story is at http://www.freeschaeffercox.com/i-need-your-help/ .

Here is the beginning of his letter:

"Dear Friend of the 2nd Amendment,

My name is Francis Schaeffer Cox and I’m a thirty year old political prisoner of the Obama Administration. December 17th, 2014.

My only crime was believing in the Second Amendment and that the government should obey our Constitution.

That’s all it took for Obama’s feds to take away my freedom, widow my wife, and orphan my children."

Homeland Security Exercise Targets “Free Americans Against Socialist Tyranny”

What? You dare to disagree with the dictator Obama? You must be a terrorist!

"Leaked Homeland Security documents obtained by Infowars reveal details of a joint DHS/FEMA national exercise set to take place this week, one of the components of which revolves around an effort to counter online dissent by a group called “Free Americans Against Socialist Tyranny,” which is disgruntled at the imposition of martial law after an earthquake in Alaska.

The document again underscores the federal government’s obsession with characterizing libertarians and conservatives as some kind of extremist radical threat.

The document (PDF) was leaked by an individual affiliated with Stewart Rhodes’ Oathkeepers organization and passed on to Infowars. It is entitled National Exercise Program – Capstone Exercise 2014 – Scenario Ground Truth.

The document is intended for “U.S. Department of Homeland Security Trusted Agents Only” and is “disseminated only on a need-to-know basis.” Even the role players involved in the exercise itself are prohibited from seeing the files.

The exercise is designed to evaluate readiness in preparation for a catastrophic incident, natural disaster or major act of terrorism. Some of the scenarios which will be in play during the exercise include a series of earthquakes, tsunamis and a nuclear weapons accident."

'There is a method to the apparent madness of the US government. This sustained erosion of our liberty is strategically designed to destroy the morale of Patriots.

We have been spectators to the deliberate destruction of our way of life since 9/11, a false flag event that allowed for the speedy passage of the unPatriot Act.

Our liberty has been eroded bit by bit, with the de facto government chiseling away at the Bill of Rights and the United States Constitution.

The White House has been infiltrated by a President who is not constitutionally eligible to be one.

Patriots have been demonized by the alphabet soup agencies and the mainstream media, painted as dangerous domestic terrorists. We are all “on a list” and being tracked via the computer.

The media has become nothing more than a projector for the propaganda being spat out by the de facto government. In the mainstream, there are no more investigative reporters, and journalistic integrity is completely dead.

They are blowing against endless borrowing.

They are blowing against unrestricted abortion on demand.

They are blowing against federal judges imposing their will on the citizenry.

They are blowing against unconstitutional, unlimited government."

Why I Cannot Support Concealed Carry Weapons Permits (And Why You Shouldn’t Either!)

Mac Slavo at Freedom Outpost makes an excellent point. We have seen how the dictator and criminal fraud Obama and his ilk operate, and it definitely is not according to our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. To them, those are mere scraps of paper to be ignored, especially the Second Amendment, because it gives power to the people and interferes with Obama's imperial plans. As this article shows, once your personal data is in a concealed weapons government database, you are subject to police searches, even if you have done nothing wrong. And DHS can and has labelled all veterans as potential terrorists!

'What to do about the alleged unconstitutional and unlawful actions of President Barack Obama?

But now the former deputy commanding general of the U.S. Army in the Pacific has settled upon a battle plan he believes could actually work: a House-led, parliamentary style vote of “no confidence” in Obama’s administration.
...
“Now is the time for something a dear friend calls ‘conviction without eviction,’ an end that can be brought on through a vote of no confidence, locally, statewide and nationally,” Vallely claims. “This is just a first step in what can only be repaired over time, but it is achievable in the short term and starts to remove Obama’s ability to continue his ruinous ways now.”
...
“We know there is no legal standing in a vote of ‘no confidence’ that would come of this act, but at least one thing will certainly occur: We take back the power of discourse,” the insider contends. “What do we do? We conduct a national ‘vote of no confidence.’”

“It is time to recall the reprobates and reclaim the power of the people,” Vallely said. “We need to start with the White House and all of Obama’s appointees, especially Eric Holder. … Then on to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi – the architects who shoved Obamacare down our throats. We also cannot forget John Boehner and company who openly castigate the tea-party caucus, which are only doing that which they campaigned upon.”

Rice said that because of “this disregard of our country’s checks and balances, many of you have asked me to bring legal action against the president.”
...
Turley replied: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The danger is quite severe. The problem with what the president is doing is that he’s not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system. He’s becoming the very danger the Constitution was designed to avoid. That is the concentration of power.”

“Abraham Lincoln talked about our right to alter our government or our revolutionary right to overthrow it,” he said.

“That is certainly something that no one wants to contemplate. If the people come to believe that the government is no longer constrained by the laws, then they will conclude that neither are they.”

Cannon said it is “very dangerous” for the president to “wantonly ignore the laws, to try to impose obligations upon people that the legislature did not approve.”
...
Vallely explained that a “no confidence” vote now “would also tell the world that we recognize the mess this administration has wrought upon the world and we do not support his actions. Despite what supporters of Obama say about our standing in the world, the world is laughing at us. We are not pleased!”

Without that action, he writes, “Obama will just continue to subvert the Constitution he took an oath to faithfully protect.”'

ObamaCare, Knockout game, NDAA, executive orders - So, wadda ya gonna do aboud it?

Remember the billions of rounds of ammunition that Obama's private army, the DHS, purchased to fight us, the American people. They also have tanks and other combat gear. Our 'honorable" politicians took an oath to defend our Constitution, and to protect we the people from enemies foreign and domestic. The America hating Obama and his goons are domestic enemies. so now what?

"America, like the old white people and women that have been the targets of the vicious racist attacks misleadingly called the Knockout Game, has been sucker punched, kicked numerous times, robbed and left bleeding and semi-conscious on the ground.

Short of armed rebellion, which, when carefully considered may not be all that bad of an alternative, We, the People, don’t seem to have many viable choices. The obvious and most preferred alternative is to win back the Congress in the 2014 elections. Unfortunately, powerful, virtually unaccountable forces are out to see that this is not possible, i.e., the Obama/Holder/Soros Injustice Department; the see-no-evil, hear-no-evil, speak-no-evil Federal Elections Commission; the multi-gazillionaire Democrat neo-fascist, globalist fat-cat donors like Soros, the Boyz at Google, Microsoft’s Bill Gates; neo-fascist organizations like the Chamber of Commerce; the entire, largely globalist Republican Establishment; and almost the entire television and print news media. And since the Democrats have already experimented and seen they can get away with massive election fraud, chances of a free, fair, honest election in 2014 are exceedingly slim at best."

"Putin begins by taking a look at how our American system of government does not really live up to its promise of freedom. Basically, he argues that we are beholden to a group of elite non-democratic dictators who trickle down their sheer lunacy upon all of us.
...
Ultimately, this is not freedom. Judges are acting as dictators to overthrow the laws of our country and the laws of God. As Putin accurately points out, these laws are clearly spelled out in both the Bible and in Christian tradition.
...
Does the will of the people mean nothing anymore if we have given away our power to unelected judges and officials?

On top of all this, many of us are blind to the fact of what is happening. We continue to allow ourselves to be fooled by the media, which is part of same ruling elite as those judges and the idiot politicians we continue electing. Putin is also right when he wonders at how long it took us to wake up to the ineptness of Obama and also the growing geopolitical incompetence of America under the leadership of such morons as Obama and Kerry."
