Unconstitutional

Unconstitutional
It has now reached a point that on a daily basis we hear the word unconstitutional on the new or in the media where it regards what our non-representing representatives are doing. The things they are doing and have done are clearly unconstitutional. It only takes a cursory reading the constitution to realize this. Yet no lawsuits are brought against them. Nothing is done to turn back what they've done. There is little or no public outrage about these constitutional abuses. As a result each time they get away with one they try to pass another and another. It is very disconcerting that they are continuing to get away with these things.
I cannot help but wonder if we will soon see rioting in our streets as they had in London. The larger concern is not so much that we'll have rioting but rather that it will be directed against the wrong people as it was in London. England has the same problem we do. They are spending far more than they can afford to and then blaming all their problems on the rich. It is class warfare at its best and their media like ours is helping the situation. Their national leaders and representatives are the ones making things worse in the country but instead the bankers and now the CEO's of businesses are being demonized. Sound familiar? It should, this same thing is happening here in the United States.

People are angry and looking for someone to lash out at. They feel powerless where the government is concerned to they're going after the next easiest targets. Obama has not proven he's a natural born citizen and until he does he may well be the biggest offender of the constitution. Then right on the back of that he nominates and the congress agrees to put Hillary Clinton in the position of Secretary of State, a position for which he is constitutionally prohibited to hold, because a senator may not hold such position if that position received a raise during the time the representative was a representative. Whether you agree with that law or not, it is still in the constitution and till it is amended it should be obeyed. Now we have another official declaring that a demonstration can't be held because it isn't in the interest of the American people. This is not his place to decide. We have a congress trying to pass a law to tax a specific group of individuals to "recover" money they were legally and contractually due. As a side note it seems the media have done all they can to demonize the bonus takers and spent enough time on misdirection that by the time they got around to placing the blame where it belonged it only left people confused instead of having their anger focused it where it belonged, our leaders who passed the law knowingly, allowing them to take those bonuses. Further they took almost a trillion of our dollars and are misspending it right and left but no one is calling them to task on that. Our ire is always directed somewhere other than where it belongs.

Our leaders see little need to pay attention to us because we are not organized in our protests and don't seem to be serious about much more than some sign waving. We need a tax revolt and we need someone who will lead it. Obama may be charismatic, but he does not know what he's doing to fix the economy and I do not believe he or the congress is interested in fixing the economy. I believe they're interested in changing the economy. They are moving full steam ahead to produce a socialist nation and not just a mildly socialist nation but a nation of such a degree of socialism it even has other socialist nations of the world deeply concerned about what we're doing.

Everyone seems to feel something needs to be done to stop it, but no one seems to have any idea how to stop it. Things have been building up slowly but not enough to cause any real concern. Congress feels justified in doing what they're doing because they receive almost no opposition. They may get a lot of calls and letters but they realize as soon as the vote is over nothing more is said about that issue especially if they move right on to the next "major" issue needing immediate attention. Americans are in shell shock. We are reeling from one major issue after another as congress cranks out more and more disastrous bills and statutes.
Obama just promised almost another trillion dollars to the G20. That's a trillion dollars we don't have. It is now estimated that every man woman and child in the United States owes about $50,000 on the debt. Consider that this mean a family of 4 owes $200,000. And this does not include the trillions more being discussed casually on the house and senate floors. The house and senate will not be satisfied till that number is 1 million or more dollars per household. Only then will Americans realize just how indebted to the government they are. At this point we are already indentured slaves to the government for the rest of our lives, working to pay off the debts they've created and this assumes they don't keep adding to that debt. They have no incentive to stop and no intention to stop unless the American people do something. We might think seriously about going exempt on our pay checks for a month or two to put them on notice they can't just take the money and they need to reverse those bills and destroy the bogus money they're printing at breakneck speeds. It can still be reversed but it will take a lot of pressure from "we the people" to do it.
