As I have stated before, I am deeply engrossed in the reading of a two-volume set on the Constitutional debates. Most of these were carried out in various newspapers of the time. As I read, I begin to understand the position of those opposed to the new constitution. They had a very good take on human nature and our ability to corrupt that which is intended to be good and beneficial. Look at this piece…
Reply to Wilson’s Speech by Arthur Lee (Cincinnatus) November 28, 1787
“Sir, In my former observations on your speech, to your fellow-citizens, explanatory and defensive of the new constitution; it has appeared, by arguments to my judgment unanswerable, that by ratifying the constitution, as the convention proposed it, the people will leave the liberty of the press, and the trial by jury, in civil cases, to the mercy of their rulers – that the project is to burthen them with enormous taxes, in order to raise and maintain armies, for the purposes of ambition and arbitrary power – that this power is to be vested in an aristocratic senate, who will be either themselves the tyrants, or the support of tyranny, in a president, who will know how to manage them, so as to make that body at once the instrument and shield of his absolute authority – Even the Roman Emperors found it necessary to have a senate for this purpose.”
I confess I am somewhat in question as to Mr. Lee’s point. On the one hand, the senate was to be a tool of the individual states. The state legislatures would elect the senators. This would seem to me to have taken any influence the president might have over the selection of these individuals as sketchy at best. However, Mr. Lee’s worries have indeed manifested themselves much as he predicted. Today, we have a Democrat controlled senate prepared to do any and everything necessary to protect the tyrant who sits as president. They fall all over themselves to effect his socialist elitist policies. All to the detriment of the people, even those he ostensibly wants to help. Addicting one to the public teat is hardly to be considered as help. Mr. Lee continues…
“We have seen with what cunning the power of impeachment is apparently given to the representatives of the people, but really to the senate, since, they advise these measures of government, which experience has shewn, are the general matters of impunity the executive officers will be sure of impeachment when they act in conformity to their will. Impeachment will therefore have no terrors, but for those who displease or oppose the senate.”
In other words, no matter how arrogant, elitist, self-serving or even criminal the president might be, as long as he or she has the will and backing of the senate they shall not fear the wrath of the people in the form of impeachment. Impeachment (indictment) by the people’s representatives rings hollow with no chance of conviction for crimes committed against the people.
In light of today’s situation, perhaps Mr. Lee and others of the same school of thought may have been on to something. While he and his friends might have been considered as anti-federalists in the time, it would appear to me that they were merely being prudent and wise. It would also appear that the federal government has indeed turned into an essentially hostile and uncontrolled juggernaut bent on the destruction of liberty and prosperity. And we gave it all away through apathy and inattention. Shame on us. Do we deserve the efforts of those who would try to turn it all around? Probably not. But because they are who they are, they will try none the less. God bless them for their efforts.
And, once I've cooled off thinking about something else totally
different, I can sit back and laugh at these buffoons who allegedly
sware they run this country right into the early grave we americans (yes with a small "a") elected them or agreed with them, or blindly
went along with their ideas of Home Owners Association Politics.
Ha!
Things that make you go, Hmmm?!

Tonight on Tea Party Radio we covered a range of issues, as usual, about Obama's prevarications today, his vision to destroy this nation as it was founded, and on and on. What came up, particularly from previous shows, was the international intent of globalists, going back well over 100 years, to wreak economic havoc on this nation from within, as well as from without our borders. Global governance. Global currency, NO free markets...communism writ large, one-world government...which if you listen to the man-child in chief...ARE his stated goals. STATED goals. You just have to listen a little, and realize you are listening to a man that is lying through his teeth, which is how he came to be where he is to begin with.
SO--to try to fully understand the degree of, and the nature of what and who we are dealing with, I'm providing the following link that I recieved yesterday. It's a long document and one that needs NOT to be ignored.
It chilled me to the bone, and steels my resolve. I would've posted it earlier, but I didn't have a chance to go through it until tonight. Pay close attention to it, and what's been going on around us now. This is just another front we have to deal with, as if there aren't enough.
Special Thanks to Neal from Alabama for bringing this issue up to begin with some time ago...

"There does not exist an engine so corruptive of the government and so demoralizing of the nation as a public debt. It will bring on us more ruin at home than all the enemies from abroad..." Thomas Jefferson, letter to Nathaniel Macon, 1821.
Couldn't have said it better myself...
God Bless
So, people still insist on despeculating the Bible and its prophetic
utterances of the truths happening all around us every day and they're
getting worse all the time. Not relenting to the Clarion Call upon and
within their lives to wake up and smell the coffee pot of time and space
swinging and swaying all over the place like a drunken pendulum.
Still, the Word continues to go out over each and every door post in this
land we live and all turn their heads and cross their eyes at the truth
slapping them in the face nearly every fleeting moment.
When or will they wake up and know for a certainty and with truthful
obedience to the Creator that what He said is truth, it's happening all
around us. Step up to the plate, open the eyes to see, yearn the Heart
to know, and unstop their ears to hear what His Word has been telling
them the entire time.
Then most will say to me: Spell it out! Speak English! Give it to me straight!
And beloved, I'd like nothing better than to do just that. But, the other voices
at large speaking big fancy words, enticing all to entertain their little ungodly
motives, have left everyone blinded, deaf, dumb, and scared. To imagine just
one thing for ourselves we're given the old soft shoe of legalism from the pulpits
to the tarpits, and no-one longs to know the truth, embellishing it into another
brand of religiocity.
So, I wrote a book about it and hoping like all get out it becomes a hit. That the
mass buy it, put it to use within their lives and grow in the wisdom of God.
But God told me one day when in angst I'd continued calling unto Him for His
help to this very likelihood of my pursuit to become an average normal bread
winning success story on the face of life. He said: My book's been around for
how long? If they haven't read mine, what makes you think that they'll even
read yours?
Point taken!
So it goes. You want help, its there.
You want freedom and security, its there.
You want that your needs are met and success is real and achievable? It's there.
But; when is all this wanting going to stop and we all get busy and just Be That!?
He is not moved by needs, wants, wishes, hand outs nor ups.
God is moved by a Right Relationship with Him and our Obedience unto Him
to know His will, seek His Face, Hunger and Thirst for His Right Righteousness.
That's God for you. Know Him, get R' done!
Keep putting Him off, sucks to be you in eternity.
ETERNITY IS NOT A GAME!
Peace.
I said it once and will say it again, the republican party is dead. We do not have any leader that has the guts to say this is. The speaker caved on a horrible agreement on 2011 budget and has already caved on increeasing the national debit. He will also cave for the 2012 budget because the republicans are affraid to be called bad people, that they do not care and will hurt seniors. THe republican party to take a stand and take it to the american public and say, obama you have only what the debit limit is now and you can spend it on whatever you want, and let the democrats decide what they spend it on. This would set the stage for real changes.
It was today that the imf, c ame out and stated that the usa is not being serious about the debit that they are allowing to increase and it is necessary now to make serious reductions to prevent a down grade of our debit and bankruptcy. China has told us the samething last year, and they have been getting rid of dollars because they see what is happening. The congress is not doing their job, the senate is not doing their job and the president only knows one thing and that to spend and buy votes. He stated to day that the millionaires and billionaires should be willing to pay more. How about his ceo friend from general electic that paid no corpoate taxes and got a multi billion dollar tax refvund from the government after making billions in profit.
I have stated before boehner needs to go and the american people are a point of saying neither party respents us anymore and will go to a third party and the past they did not have a chance but i think today is a different story. The usa does not have a funding problem but rather a spending problem and until spending is stopped not will happen.
Others have told me to be patient and look at the big picture and wait until 2012, but i think after the republicans we sent to congress in 2011 has do nothing really serious about spending the people will send a message by voting for people running on the independent ticket. I have been a republican for 57 years, however, today when i re register as a independent i will not longer support republicans or democrats because i am fed up.
We, the enlightened people of the United States, returned the control of the House of Representatives to the Republicans in an effort to rein in some of the criminal increases in the federal spending spree. Guess what? It did not happen. Instead our beloved speaker and his cronies “caved in” and agreed to cut a paltry few billion from a multi-trillion budget. They agreed to continue funding for abortions and Obama-Care. In other words, they totally and dismally failed to do as we instructed them to do. They no longer represent. They wheel and deal; they compromise; they posture and they rule. Or, they think they do.
I keep track, sort of, of the new additions to the Tea Party here in Texas. It is interesting to note a steady, constant increase in “membership”. This would seem to be in direct opposition to the pundit’s portrayal of the party. They see us as a flash in the pan, a movement in decline. In point of fact, we, or at least I, have been waiting to see what the powers that be would do with the limited success we handed to them in the last election. As I pretty much expected, they talk the talk but can’t walk the walk. They turned their collective backs on the people who supported their return to power. Admittedly, there were exceptions such as Rand Paul, Michele Bachmann, et al, but for the most part, the Republicans reverted to type and they blinked. So be it. They no longer have any claim to our loyalty or support. They have abandoned us, not the other way around. It is time for us to re-evaluate our mission and tactics.
I am a dues-paying member of the Constitution Party. I firmly and reverently agree with 99.9% of what they stand for. I would like nothing better than to see them send a host of like-minded individuals to Washington DC. Then, I come back to reality as it is. The Constitution Party doesn’t have the money and resources to field viable candidates. When one out of a thousand so-called party supporters actually pays their annual dues, this doesn’t leave them much to work with. The same holds true for the Tea Party. How many “associates” have actually committed to paying monthly dues so the Tea Party can really crank up its programs and make an even bigger splash than it already has? I doubt Dale can finance the effort any more than I could. I fully realize that there are probably many who simply can’t make a monetary pledge. Older folks, like me, are frequently on very limited fixed incomes. We value and welcome their insight and help whatever form it may take. Our failure, in both organizations, is we have not fired up the younger generations who are working and probably can afford to help financially. Nothing is free. Success in the political arena is measured in dollars. Sad, but true. I am 68 years old. I had hoped to work toward retirement at some point. Now I know that isn’t to be. I am fortunate enough to have a very good job that pays me well. I will have to keep working until my wife can collect my life insurance. So be it. In the meantime, I will continue to pay dues to both groups in the hope it will make a difference. This isn’t an ego thing, it is a dire necessity.
OK, sorry about the sermon. I had to get that off my chest. I have firsthand experience of the frustration involved, so cut me some slack.
I am not one to post a claim to vast political insight, but it seems to even my limited intellect, that a merging of effort is called for here. In fact, it is going to be a requirement if we, collectively, are to accomplish anything useful and meaningful in the next couple of years. Beyond that, it won’t matter.
I don’t know how many people here actually read my blog. I have no real control over that. I know there are a few regular readers as they comment from time to time. I would hope they pass this particular rant on to others. I am actively asking for all members of the Texas Tea Party who want to escalate our efforts to the next level to contact me as soon as they can. I want to get the Texas Tea Party folks and the Constitution Party of Texas together to see what we can do together to put candidates in Austin. We have to start somewhere and here at home is a good place. With all the talk about Texas seceding we had better pay attention. Personally, the thought of President Rick Perry scares the Hell out of me. That possibility aside, we need to do everything we can to get our own house, Texas, in order. Only then can we spare the attention needed to fight the national battle, assuming it even matters at that point. Let’s put whatever differences we might have aside and combine our power and resources to make a real difference in our lives and the lives of those to yet to come. What are we going to leave them that we can be proud of? Obama-Care? Abortion on demand? A bankrupt country and citizenry? Not me. I would rather croak trying to make a difference than to sit back and watch it all go to hell around me. Is there a danger making waves? Who knows? Who cares? I certainly don’t. I am too old and pissed off to care. Who will join me in making a big noise?
The following comments/snippets (1924) regarding the effect of the Press have been taken from the late British author Nesta H. Webster (24 August 1876 – 16 May 1960) writer, historian and theorist.
1. "More than eighty years ago a Frenchman endowed with extraordinary prophetic instinct foretold not only the danger that one day would come from Russia, but that the press would facilitate the destruction of civilization:
'When our cosmopolitan democracy bearing its last fruits, shall have made of war a thing odious to whole populations, when the nations calling themselves the most civilized on earth shall have finished enervating themselves in their political debaucheries, .....the floodgates of the North will open on us once again, then we shall undergo a last invasion not of ignorant barbarians but of cunning and enlightened masters, more enlightened than ourselves, for they will have learnt from our own excesses how we can and must be governed. It is not for nothing that Providence piles up so many inactive forces in the East of Europe. One day the sleeping giant will arise and force will put an end to the reign of words. In vain, then, distracted equality will call the old aristocracy to the help of liberty; the weapon grasped again too late and wielded by hands too long inactive will have become powerless. Society will perish for having trusted to words void of sense or contradictory; then the deceitful echoes of public opinion, the newspapers, wishing at all costs to keep their readers, will push (the world) to ruin if only to have something to relate for a month longer. They will kill society to live upon its corpse'."
2. "To-day the newspapers, no longer the echoes of public opinion but its supreme directors, throw open their columns to every form of disintegrating doctrine and close them to arguments that could effectually arrest the forces of destruction. What is the hidden influence behind the press, behind all the subversive movements going on around us? Are there several Powers at work? Or is there one Power, one invisible group directing all the rest.....?"
The following comments/snippets regarding Socialism have been taken from the late English author Nesta H. Webster (24 August 1876 – 16 May 1960) a writer, historian and theorist. It seems to me, what with all the talk of Socialism during the past two years, obtaining a perspective from the past would shed some light on it.
1. "While Bolshevism sets out to destroy Capitalism at a blow, Socialism prefers a more gradual process. It is the difference between clubbing a man on the head and bleeding him to death - that is all."
2. "The fact is that all Socialism leads to Communism in the long run and therefore to disaster. The Bolshevist regime brought ruin and misery to Russia not because of the brutality of its methods, but because it was founded on the gigantic economic fallacy that industry can be carried on without private enterprise and personal initiative."
3. "As a life-long Socialist has frequently observed to me, 'Socialism has never been a working-class movement; it was always of the middle or upper classes who sought to instill the principles of Socialism into the minds of working men'."
4. "Socialism has only been able to make headway by borrowing the language of Anarchy in order to blast its way to power. Socialism is thus essentially a system of deception devised by middle-class theorists and in no sense a popular creed."
5. "The world-revolution is not a popular movement but a conspiracy to impose on the people a system directly opposed to their real demands and aspirations, a system which, moreover, has proved disastrous every time an attempt has been made to put it into practice."
6. "For not only has Socialism never been known to succeed, but all its past failures are carefully kept dark by its exponents."
