ACTION

Howdy all!  And how has your week been so far?  I hope it has been good.  It’s been great here.  Grand daughter is back and had her first birthday.  Wasn’t enough chocolate on the cake, so Grandpa got the bottle of chocolate syrup and added a bit, and a bit more.  And then I added some more to make it look right.  It was worth the laundry duty!

Any hoo,..

For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:6

What is to be the consequence, in case the Congress shall misconstrue this part [the necessary and proper clause] of the Constitution and exercise powers not warranted by its true meaning, I answer the same as if they should misconstrue or enlarge any other power vested in them ... the success of the usurpation will depend on the executive and judiciary departments, which are to expound and give effect to the legislative acts; and in a last resort a remedy must be obtained from the people, who can by the elections of more faithful representatives, annul the acts of the usurpers. ~ James Madison, Federalist No. 44, 1788

This is it folks!  This is the quote of the election!  Dare I say quote of the year!  Mr. Madison gives us instruction on how to deal with the usurpation of our country, our government.  Too long have we watched this administration, and dare I say many of the past administrations get away with overreaching their constitutional boundaries.  If it’s not the President and his cabinet, it’s the Congressional body, both parts.  And even the courts have their own unique way of making odorous deposits at times.  Checks and balances only work when the parties involved recognize the error of the others, and stand to stop it, as the present GOP House said they would (ok, breath slower, that last statement only prompted an anxiety attack, nothing else).  But when there is no check or balance in government, we the people must use our check, our balance, our VOTE!  Case in point; the primary season.  Willard (Mitt’s real first name) is so certain he already is the GOP nominee, but he forgot to tell those in Alabama and Mississippi.  And at this writing, Hawaii is in full swing.  They may even sway towards Paul.  The people told Willard he is NOT a sure thing.  Heck, even Obama lost 15 counties in the Oklahoma Dem primary, and he’s running unopposed!  So, what do we learn from this?  We learn that we count!  We are in charge.  We the People DO have a say.  Almost no one in the House, the Senate, surely not the Oval Office gave a second thought to their own constituents.  Guess they forgot that constituents to them also means employer.  It is time we show them who really is the boss.  In the verse from 2 Corinthians we are reminded that God has placed the light of the world in our hearts so we could know the Glory of Him through our relationship with Jesus.  Although this is a Christian truth, it is also true for every one of every faith that the path to our Creator is shining bright for all.  So, too is the path to free ourselves from this darkness our federally elected employees have cast us into.  They think of themselves as leaders.  They are not.  They are managers.  Management is a position, a title.  Leadership is a skill, an ability that is either naturally occurring or acquired through experience.  Leaders are not always in management, and managers are not always leaders.  There are some exceptions but for the most part the vast number of managers in Congress and the Administration are poor managers.  And since We the People are the Upper Management, it is time for us to do our job.  It’s time to rake out the weeds.  Time to annul the usurpers; the ones in the White House and the ones in the Capital.  ALL OF THEM!!

Take care, God bless,

AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!
