The “State of the Union” is one big mess for the following reasons. We have a President with no real world experience only an agenda. We have a Congress full of self-serving ideologues. We have a Supreme Court being filled with activist judges. That about sums up the three branches of government. Not a one of the three is following much less upholding the Constitution.
Oh, don’t worry I would leave the Media or the “moochers and social parasites” out.
How did we get to this point?
We have a President that was elected with zero experience, but he offered “hope and change” and transparency in his administration. His background is that of a “community organizer”, college professor and a lackluster politician. The only “change” he had in mind was to transform America from the world “superpower” into a third world nation. His “hope” was that Congress, the “moochers and social parasites” would aid and assist him in his quest. Congress was more than willing to oblige and the “moochers and social parasites” have been constantly rewarded for their loyalty. His “hope and change” is being fulfilled though it may not be what was expected by some and is not enough for others. The transparency of his administration, though it is at least if not more secretive than previous administrations, it is becoming clear to more and more Americans. The whole thing is one big LIE! Having no real world experience has had the effect of blaming others for the failures of his own domestic and foreign policies, he has no concept of responsibility. If he is supposed to be the “leader of the free world” we are in deep trouble. A successful leader accepts both responsibility and blame. His style of and his practice of non-leadership is demonstrated by his acceptance of neither. The best example of this would be the sequester, it was his idea, and the outcome was his fault. But true to his government education he accepted neither. He found a way to shift the “blame’ to congress for not acting to prevent the mandatory cuts he proposed in the event a budget was not reached. Somehow it became the “responsibility” of congress to prevent his plan from taking effect. Yet he acts to prevent congress from stopping his plans, example Obamacare, lately referred to as “The Affordable Healthcare Act”, which he has arbitrarily changed himself 38 times, because it does not work. He will not let it be repealed and fixed, or admit that what we had before was better than this “POS” law that was rammed down the throat of America. He will simply keep offering exemptions(if they fit his personal agenda or helps some or all of his supporters and their special interests)and delaying portions of the act that can not possibly be met in any time frame. He has even found a way to better Clinton, we now have a new definition of what a delay is. It’s not a delay if you are in line, it is only a continuation of the previous delay. There are still no accurate numbers of how many people have signed up for Obamacare”, Medicare, Medicaid or paying customers. Out of the paying customers there is no information as to how many have actually paid the premiums. This part would be humorous if it wasn’t so sad, He considers himself the smartest person in the room, surrounds himself with advisors, more aptly called “yes people” and when confronted with an event, he says I found out the same time you did, on the news. He has constantly denied the greatness of America and her people willing to give or negotiate away our greatness and achievements. I still can’t understand why his approval rating is anything but “a big fat zero”. He is in my opinion a “radical leftist socialist ideologue”. He is also in my opinion a product of government education.
We have a congress that is failing in their duties they no longer represent the people they instead represent their political parties agendas, their own agendas and the agendas of the special interest groups. They see themselves as a perverted idea of a modern-day “robin hood” more aptly spelled “robbing hood”, stealing from everyone and giving to anyone that will assist them in their quest for re-election thereby increasing their power. In truth what they are stealing is the American dream of this and future generations. They use the various government departments as tools or as weapons as the need arises. The Department of Education in particular and government education in general has taken Prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance and most notably God out of the public school system. My theory as to why God was taken out of public school was that the government will not tolerate “competition”. The people have been and are still being “trained” to call on government in times of trial and hardship and government is more than willing to answer the call.
The Supreme Court as well as the lower courts are filled by each administration as vacancies occur, as is stipulated by the Constitution. Problem is each administration tries to “stack” the courts will justices or judges that will interpret the Constitution or the laws presented before them according to the “views” of the administration. This causes the “oddest” reaction from the press, the congress and the public. They all knew the how they would interpret based on their political views, the views of the nominating administration and the political views of those who confirmed them, and still act surprised at the ruling. If you have a radical left administration or a radical right administration, who did you think they would nominate or appoint. Again I don’t think this was the process the Founding Fathers intended.
The media are failing in their duties and responsibilities to inform America, and most importantly failing to be the “watchdog” over the government. That goes for all of them. The only reliable source of information is the internet and even that has to be sorted out to uncover the truth. The major news outlets that lean-to the left praise and tout BHO and the current administration no matter what. The major news outlets that lean-to the right do attempt to expose BHO and his administration for what they are, but will leave that arena for any breaking news story. The major news outlets are like humming birds, going from flower to flower trying to make news instead of reporting it.
The “moochers and social parasites” may well be the “straw that broke the camels back”, 53% of the working class of Americans “tote the freight” for 100% of America, while the other 47% that could be participating choose instead to live off the hard work and achievements of the tax paying few. The amount of assistance provided to the moochers and social parasites in the form of “food stamps”(EBT), WIC, free or reduced telephones, internet, electricity, housing and welfare are a constant drain on national treasure. There is little or no oversight on the “social programs” and most programs are redundant, with some of the mooching class receiving the same monies from more than one agency. There are always threats that “social security” may not be able to meet its obligations, but not once have I heard that “welfare” will not be able to meet their payments. The government, at all levels, have found willing accomplices in the moochers and social parasites to continue their “crimes against America” and the principles this nation were founded under. The government has taught the mooching class well. They have been taught to become totally dependent on government for their mere existence. They are taught that self-reliance, self-determination, personal responsibility and consequences of actions are all covered by a social program and they need not be inconvenienced in the least.(If the actions of a male and a female cause an un-intended pregnancy the government has approved social programs to aid in the consequences of a careless act, thus removing all responsibility.) This class of people is the reason that “Independence Day” is no longer celebrated, instead they celebrate the 4th of July, and oddly enough that is how it is now marketed and sold, which is probably just as well, the moochers have no idea what “Independence’ is. The moochers and social parasites have no right to celebrate “Independence Day” they need their own special day to celebrate “dependence day” because that is what they are, dependent, oh that’s right, they do celebrate every month when the government sends them their “loyalty checks”. The mooching class are no more than “bargaining chips” to the corrupt “political class” with each political party promising more than the other to gain their temporary loyalty. It seems that the mooching class, with the aid of the corrupt politicians, have found a way to vote themselves money from the national treasury. With each new attempt at reforming a failed policy from this and past administrations, or the attempt to reform a law, such as immigration, new disasters are the only product, and will only produce new moochers to steal more from America. This is a direct result of government creating a ‘benefit and entitlement” society. The only benefits and entitlements that come from being an American citizen or living in America is Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
The news of late is loaded with corrupt politicians being led away in handcuffs. Maybe terms limits for politicians should be implemented, I’m for all of them getting one more term, I’m thinking 20 to life. Maybe Alcatraz should be re-opened so the entire lot of them will have a view of the ocean, they will think they are still on a tax-payer funded vacation.
To be continued.

How much longer do we have? Part 3
A repeal of the 17th amendment would be a good beginning towards returning America to its original envisioned creation of a “Constitutional Republic”. This though, will never happen, the Senate has become accustomed to their power over the people. They will never willingly give that up, nor could they return to watching out for the interest of their states. This fact is easily seen through their actions, some even go to the extreme of assisting with the erection of barricades to prevent their state from enacting legislation that is in the best interest of the state. The only way to repeal this amendment would require a “time machine”, even that would not work because the people of that time honestly believed that they could trust government. Government can say “thank God” for government education, oh that’s right, government took God out of the schools.
Another thing that would help return America to a “Constitutional Republic” would be to institute a new tax system(notice I did not say income tax). An income tax punishes those that have jobs and therefore their employer furnishes a W-2 form and after deductions taxes are paid. The moochers and social parasites have no income and therefore pay no tax, nor do criminals(including politicians). I am not in favor of a “flat tax” either for the same aforementioned reasons. What I am in favor of is a consumption based tax system, The Fair Tax, this system would garner taxes from wage earners, moochers, social parasites and criminals(including politicians) at the same rate. This too would require the repeal of an amendment, the 16th amendment and a new amendment added, the politicians will never go for this either. This would also lessen the power the politicians have over the people, power is what the politicians crave. The government has one practice with money “easy come, easy go” as long as it does not involve their money. The government does not trust the people, this is a fact and is proven by the fact that the government steals their “portion”(pound of flesh) of our hard-earned money before “we the people” receive our paychecks. If the government does not trust the people, just why the hell should the people trust the government.
This is a good time to insert this. It is not only the Federal Government that uses taxes to punish those of us who have chased and caught the American dream. I live in Marion County, Florida, and our County Commission has decided to put on the ballot a referendum to raise property taxes by $1 per $1000 assessed value at the behest of the Marion County School Board. Problem is that every registered voter in the county gets a vote, not just the property owners. The tax increase is supposed to go to the schools. What did you do with the money that you have already taken and wasted that you got from us in the form of property taxes? And while on the subject if the value of my place keeps dropping, why do my taxes keep going up. When will you finally take your pound of flesh? You also might get your scale re-calibrated, I’m getting a mite thin here and can’t afford many more pounds removed. They dropped the idea of a sales tax increase, that failed before. We are Taxed Enough Already. This is another example of government relying on government education. The renters will see this as an opportunity to get the tax burden off of their back and shove it to the home owners and business. They are either “stupid or ignorant”. If they vote for it and it passes the cost will only be passed along in the higher costs for goods and services. So the property owners get a double dose of “government medicine” higher property taxes and higher costs for goods and services. BOHICA property owners. If the renters vote for the property tax increase their land lord will only pass that along to them in the form of rent increases. They will get their second dose when it comes time to sign a new rental contract, and the will wonder why their rent increased. The only people who will not see the effects of the increase are the ones occupying section 8 housing. BOHICA taxpayers. The renters do not and can not see this coming thanks to the “ruling class” telling them how much they are discriminated against and the government education system failing in their task of providing a proper education. But seeing as how “government education” was designed to only educate to the level of “loyal and obedient citizens”. They have succeeded marvelously in that aspect and people still trust and obey without question. Again, I did not get that memo.
The difference between stupid and ignorant is that “stupid” lasts forever and “ignorance” can be overcome with education. I don’t mean with government education, that is how we got in this mess to begin with. Our best chance is for the stupid to stay home on election day watching some reality show, this goes for all elections local, state and federal. Our most important task is to educate the ignorant and save our nation.
The answer to the question of how much longer do we have, may come down to the people who know the truth about government educating those willing to learn and accept the truth about the corruption in all levels of government. We can not help those who are blindly obedient to the government. We must choose our battles.

How much longer do we have? Part 2
BHO is becoming desperate as his failures become clear to America and the world, even though the liberal left and the major media outlets will never admit it, at least not publicly. Obamacare is so flawed that he is forced to change the law, arbitrarily and almost daily, he was offered a way out, but refused, it could have been re-written or repealed, but even more importantly it should have been read. If Congress had read it before passage instead of passing it to find out what is in it, the hideous thing would have never become law. Obamacare is so flawed that his name is not tied to it any longer by the liberal left and the major media outlets. His foreign policy, if he ever had one, has caused him and unfortunately America much embarrassment around the world. The world sees him as weak, spineless, a joker and gutless, unfortunately since he is the President the world has the same view of the American citizens. The sanctions imposed on Russia and the Russians that the administration claims to have been responsible for the Crimean annexation, as I have said previously are meaningless. New and more harsh sanctions are planned if The Ukraine is further violated will be just as meaningless. America is still a formidable opponent and even a hardline Soviet like Putin is not prepared to engage in open warfare with her, not because of BHO, but because of the men and women in the U.S. Military. America still maintains a strong professional Military for now.
Desperation leads to panic. Panic leads to poor decision-making. History provides numerous examples of leaders who panicked when desperate and consequently made wrong decisions, mostly because the were in over their heads to start with. BHO has been in over his head from the beginning, and he knew it. He made no effort to surround himself with the best minds with much-needed experience, he instead chose to surround himself with ideologues, some of which are radical, and like himself do not believe that America and its people are truly exceptional.
This brings us once again to the question of, how much longer do we have. Before that can be answered we must examine how we ever got to this point both domestically and abroad. BHO charged down the path of “Global Humiliation” beginning with the world apology tour and can not seem to slow down. Unfortunately the how, is changing at the same pace as his head long charge. He has refused to accept his role as the “Leader of the free world” and the responsibilities that come with the title of President of The United States of America. BHO has set about a course to divide America. BHO took on The Office of The President willingly, there was only one United States of America when he took office, contrary to what the “liberal left” including the major media outlets have been spouting. The president, the liberal left and the major media outlets seem to always promote a level playing field, income equality, benefits and entitlements.
The only “Utopian” place all this can be achieved is in a “commune”, but even that is less than “ideal”, there are no laws or protections. Sooner or later, even the “commune” will need to join with another “commune” either for economic, social or security reasons, the last is to remove lawlessness from the equation. (The words democratic, republican, democracy and republic have no political party affiliation in the following.) This is when the real problems begin, they will need to establish some form of “government”. The supposed experts would suggest a “democracy” would fit the bill as the best form of government and would best suit the circumstances, nothing could be farther from the truth. In a “democracy” there is no equality in representation, the largest group has the most representation and will address the issues that they feel are the most important or that will affect them the most. This form of government represents the “majority” and not the “minority”. The Founding Fathers did not set about creating a “Democracy” and this was intentional for the aforementioned reasons they also recognized that government was a “necessary evil”. The Founding Fathers set about creating a “Constitutional Republic” to prevent abuses of power and to insure equal representation for the several states. To further insure prevention government abuses an election system is spelled out in the Constitution. The “Constitutional Republic” that was once The United States began to sink to the level of a “Democracy” with the ratification of the 17th amendment in 1913, and each administration since has kept the “bilge” pumps turned off. The sinking of the United States Of America has continued to this day, and has only remained afloat because of the people and not the government. With the continued “majority” rule and a President who is operating outside his Constitutional powers, and a Congress that is unwilling to stop him, the continued effects of constant flooding may soon tip the scales and sink this once great nation.
It is true that I am critical of the President, and Congress and that is only because they at present occupy the driver’s Seat” of an out of control vehicle and will not disengage the cruise control. They have been careening down a road to national destruction, blowing through many yield and even some stop signs. Sooner or later an obstacle will block your path causing you to either stop or crash, or you may reach a dead-end. I am critical of the major media outlets for carrying the water for failed policies and for letting America down in the process. BHO and his refusal to accept the free world leader role created a vacuum and had the unintended consequence of Putin stepping up. With the absence of BHO from the “world” scene many other leaders like Putin will surely step-up to fill the “void”.
The question of, how much longer do we have left could be reduced to simple mathematics. From 1787 until 1913 is 126 years, from 1913 until 2014 is 101 years, 126 years minus 101 years equals 25 years.
Welcome to the world you have inflicted on the supposedly Free and Liberty loving citizens of America.
Our elected representatives in Washington D.C. and the various States have finally came to the conclusion that there really is a Constitution of The United States and a Bill of Rights. Now it appears that the United States Senate is upset by the fact that the Executive Branch is using government agencies to spy on them, but they were okay with the news and the fact that the government is spying on the common American citizens. One has even threatened to declare “war” on one government agency. Did you really think that you would remain “above the law”? With every “radical ideologue” that you confirm to the posts in the Administration and the Supreme Court you are in actuality giving the Executive Branch more and more power. You may even eventually give the administration supreme power over the land. The Seventeenth Amendment only changed the “how” you got to Washington D.C. it did not change the “why”. Maybe the time has finally come that you should read and understand “our founding documents”, after all you did take an oath, or was that just “lip service”. Perhaps you should actually read the bills you send forward for signature and understand that even you will have to live under the laws as written. What liberties and freedoms have you sacrificed that belong to us common people with the passage of the NDAA, or do you have any idea what they were. The time has come for you to remember that you are all public servants and quit being self-serving.
I find it particularly embarrassing that some members of Congress do not even know how long The United States has been around. That alone demonstrates that some and in my opinion most of Congress has not read our “founding documents” and answers the question about “lip service”.
