I can’t help but wonder what is going on with our nation? I really don’t get what is happening or why we continue to let it happen. Our president seems to feel he has the right to dictate what groups do or don’t need to obey the law. There is no challenge from the congress or the judicial branch on either of these issues. I keep wondering how this can be? How is it that our president feels he can specify who must follow one law or another or what laws he will enforce and which ones he won’t. He is current doing this regarding forcing Catholics to pay for birth control, something they are adamantly opposed to. How can he decide what companies need to pay for the Obama healthcare plan and which ones get waivers?
Equally as bad as all this is that we have a man running for president who feels he has the same power. Romney is promising to give waivers to all 50 states, as though this will nullify Obama care, but all it does is puts it off till it is fully in place. This is a law that needs to be repealed not waived or supported at the whim of a president. Neither Romney, nor Obama, or any other president for that matter has this power under the constitution or they make the constitution and the rule of law of no affect. This is not equal justice, this is justice by whim.
Everyone keeps talking about social justice, but we are not a nation founded on social justice, we are a nation founded on equal justice. This means that no one is above the law, not the president and not the congress. Obama is rapidly turning this into a banana republic and we hear no outcry from our representatives or from the people. The progressives, socialists, and communists have done an amazing job of not teaching or incorrectly teaching our founding principles. Almost everything about the founding of our nation has become a point of ridicule for the progressives.
Our congress is busy passing hundreds of thousands of pages of laws every year! They seek to regulate every area of our life and people are pressured to see that it is for our good. We are constantly told that we need the government to protect us from the bad decisions of our neighbors. No smoking, restricting salt intake and use in preparation of food, cutting back on sugar, etc. All of this flows from very convoluted reasoning. The reason we accept it is because we don’t know to reject the premise.
The premise is twofold. First that we should never be offended or put at any risk of health or accident by any individual or company, and the second is that only through regulation can this be prevented. To the first I will only say this is an absurd world view. No amount of regulation or care can protect you from every possible danger in life. On top of that it is this zero tolerance mentality and the idea that you are too stupid or unconcerned to do these things yourself. Companies are now required to put notices on anything that uses electricity, that you shouldn’t put them in water, and that they can cause shock, etc. Anyone that is too stupid to know this already has either not had a childhood or has no common sense, in which case the warnings won’t matter anyway. The problem with all of this is that they are now the big brothers who have decided it is their duty to protect us from ourselves, both as individuals and as a society. I reject both of these notions.
Many will point to the environment and tell us that businesses will not do things that are environmentally sound if they are not forced too. This may or may not be true. There may be a certain amount of regulation needed, but the place where we get deceived on this issue is that it should fall to the states to regulate that stuff, not the federal government. We have lost sight of the fact that the federal government and the state government are not the same. It is not true that government is government, at least not in the United States. On a state level it is easier to get control of issues and if you don’t like what your state is doing you can always leave which will eventually put pressure on the state government to change or they will lose their tax base. It is nearly impossible to pressure Washington to do anything because they are often so far removed from the people that they simply don’t care. It was for this reason that the federal government was to be so restricted by the constitution as to have very few and limited powers. That situation has now changed and we find that the federal government trumps in almost every area, and tramples on the powers of the state.
We forget that just because the federal government doesn’t pass a law that applies to all of the states doesn’t mean that people will simply do whatever they want and damage the nation in every way imaginable. This is what our federal government would have us believe. They believe people are looking to destroy the environment, destroy the economy, destroy, every manner common sense living if they don’t step in and regulate those areas of our lives. They also choose to interpret for us that only the federal government can do anything about this and if the federal government doesn’t do something then no one will, this also is not true. The states are the ones that are supposed to have most of the power, but again power is being centralized in Washington and we are being led to believe only those in Washington can do anything about it.
If we don’t do something soon enough power will be accumulated in Washington that we may not be able to do anything about it. I contend that as a nation we have forgotten most of our constitution. We have allowed our teachers (who are almost treated as high priests and priestesses) to neglect and corrupt one of the things that is most valuable about our nation, our constitution. This corruption of our constitution has not been by accident or unintentional. Many were completely unaware of what our teachers were teaching in the schools. The media doesn’t report because they uphold the same progressive, communist, socialist and Marxist principles that it seems our representatives have embraced.
We need to take seriously the fact that our government is being progressively run by those who hold to progressive, socialist and communist points of view. They don’t want to admit this overtly, but it is certain the way they’re governing shows that they think government should do everything for us as well as put as many restrictions on us as possible. Of course all of this is in the name of doing it for our good or for the good of the whole. The truth is they are doing because it gives them more power, because they believe only the government is capable of making people succeed, and because they have an ideology that believes in the socialist/communist model.
Obama readily admitted that he made it a point to seek out communists and Marxists when he was in college, but for some reason the media ignored this fact or when it was brought up chose to down play it as much as possible. Where there ought to have been outrage about this there was none. The media continually told us this didn’t matter it was in his past, it was in his youth, or that certainly no one running for president would do this. When asked directly about this he never actually denied it, rather he answered the question with another question. He would ask back if they really believed he was a communist. For some reason rather than answer this truthfully they felt too embarrassed to say they did believe both his words and his actions in congress showed that he at least had leanings this way and that it caused them a great deal of concern.
This is one of the reasons I’ve have taken to calling the masses in this country “sheeple” Everyone is afraid to say anything against the politically correct crowd. They are afraid of looking or sounding silly. They are afraid of being called racists, probably because the charge is assumed be true till you can prove it is not, which of course you can never prove a negative, but you sure spend a lot of time trying and this of course is just what the progressives want. This also helps intimidate others from speaking up.
The truly absurd thing is that the Democrats constantly behave in the most hypocritical ways. They accuse the right of misogyny, but they are the ones doing it constantly yet they get a pass. The fault is most certainly not all the media’s. Yes the media should report it and contrast it, but what really ought to bother us is that our representatives feel free to call women every manner vile name, yet they set themselves up as the protectors of women. They feel more than free to call black people (if they are conservative) every name under the sun. They call them “Uncle Toms”, etc. which of course has racist overtones but no one feels this is bad enough to either report or to demand their resignation.
What really makes this odd is that for some odd reason, women believe they are actually there to protect them and protect their rights, black people believe them and give them their votes, Hispanics believe them and give them their votes, yet throughout all of this they are by far the more misogynist, racist and haters. When they say they are inclusive and tolerant they only mean as long as those people go along with what they want to do and believe. Just let a black man stand up for conservative principles and you will hear the most vile attacks against him. They do not celebrate that he is getting ahead or that he has or should attain some high position. To the Democrats minorities and women are nothing more than what Marx called useful idiots. They must laugh behind closed doors at just how stupid people are that they’re willing to give up their freedoms for the sake of a free ride. They’re willing to give up their freedom for a little fake recognition.
Women clearly have not looked at the history of Planned Parenthood. They have no idea that the founder of Planned Parenthood viewed abortion not as a reproductive right, but rather they viewed it as a method of euthanizing black people in the womb as well as any other undesirables. Of course who determines who is undesirable? These people clearly have very elitist attitudes thinking they are the only ones capable of engineering a good society.
The really problem with the communist view is that in practice it always comes down to everyone being equally poor except the elites, and all the time the elites who really do have both the money and the real power are constantly demonizing the rich and powerful. Oddly this foolishness also seems to work on the people. Every time one of our representatives starts spouting the class warfare model there should be a great outcry that they need to give up everything they have to the government except what the average middle class American has. Why do we put up with this?!
This is not about fairness or equality it is about power and money for the elite. The whole point of our government was not that our representatives should impose upon us their will, it was that the people impose upon the government our will.
We have moved so far down the progressive road at this point that it will take radical political surgery for us to recover from it in time to save our republic. Obama almost single-handedly has moved our nation so far down the road toward destruction with the help of Pelosi and Reid that nothing short of replacing most of the people in congress with people who know and truly believe in the constitution will help bring our nation back from the brink of destruction. If there are enough of the old guard, including progressive Republicans, to stand in the way of the fixes needed I fear that we will most likely find our nation doomed to economic destruction the likes of which we may never recover from.
It is easy to think only Democrats can be progressives or support socialist/communist things, but there are more than enough in the Republican Party as well and they also help most the progressive cause along. There are far too many people in congress right now that think the constitution is outdated and should either be done away with altogether and completely rewritten, or at least ignored because it is archaic. In many cases they are not even afraid to voice this opinion. They state these things openly with the confidence that almost anyone born at least in the last 30 years has been educated from elementary school to believe the same thing. They know they won’t get much in the way of negative feedback for saying these things.
