In Virginia we suffer under the presence of Warner and Webb in the U.S.Senate. Bad enough, but the November 2009 elections gave us hope for our own future. Imagine being in Rhode Island and having as your senator a total moron like Sheldon Whitehead — with little hope for the future. There is bad, and there is worse.

I go back a long ways. As a young kid I rode around town on my Schwinn bike delivering campaign posters for Ike during his re-election effort against Adlai Stevenson. I have since had nearly thirty years of being an employee of the Federal Government both in Washington and overseas. I worked for seven different presidents.

I have never, ever felt such despair for the future of this country as I do now. Lunacy reigns in the halls of government. The Constitution and the Will of the People mean nothing to these lunatics. Power is their only by-word.

It is imperative that we fight back with power — the only thing they understand. 230 years of history, and it seems to have come down to one congressional election in 2010. In my opinion, if we do not unite as one solid electoral force and take power away from these lunatics, our freedoms will not survive.

Those of us who continue to rancorously criticize certain aspects of the political philosophies of members of our own team are contributing naught but discord, and discord is the seed of defeat. Yes, we have the inalienable right to speak; but there comes a time when we must also have the wisdom to know when our speech is harming rather than aiding the joint effort. A wise man knows when it is time to shut up and lock and load with the rest of his comrades in the trench.

“If the court were to overturn this, Congress would have to go back to the drawing board in an election year. I believe many in Congress are counting on the short memories of many American voters.”

Heh, the funny/sad thing is that, there are likely Democrats who are secretly hoping for just that result – then, they can claim they passed “Free Healthcare for Everyone” and everything would’ve been glorious if it weren’t for those dastardly Republicans and their flesh-eating minions – but re-elect them, and they’ll show them obstructionists a thing or two …

… and millions of glassy-eyed Americans would nod slowly in agreement, thinking “Hey, I want *my* free lunch, too!” as they shoved another government-bought Twinkie into their gullet …

Let’s recap just a bit here:

1. The Democratic Party in the Senate writes a 2100 page bill designed to alter fudamentally virtually every aspect of health care and health care insurance in this country. Contrary to the campaign and subsequent promises of their own President vis-a-vis “transparency” in governance, none of us are allowed to see precisely what is in that bill. All we get are bits and pieces resulting from limited reporting on the clashes in the Senate.

2. In order to be able to submit this bill successfully for cloture, certain amendments are made to satisfy the objections of key Democrats. Sounds good until we find out that these same Democrats have been for all intents and purposes politically bribed to change their stances — so blatantly bribed that one state governor has proclaimed himself and his people embarrassed at receiving special,under-the-table favors not available to other states. The bribed and outed senator himself is now making noises about asking for a cancellation of the bribe.

3. The amended 2100-page bill is than placed on the table before the Senate only a couple of days before the scheduled cloture vote. Again, few, if any, have had a chance to digest and debate the original bill, much less the last-minute version actually in front of the Senate. Cloture is achieved in a late-night straight party vote. (Reminds you of that old “midnight judges” thing which was once part of our early political system.) In other words, the Senate is asked to vote nearly blind for cloture on a bill in which the precise elements are still kept secret from the American people.

4. Now we find, thanks to Sen. Demint, that in that bill are clauses which require that any future amendment or other changes to certain key sections of the bill will require a two-thirds vote in the Senate. Not only that, but the Senate is trying to impose this same rule on the House of Representatives. In other words, the Senate Democrats are writing a sort of constitution within the Constitution which would limit the rights of any future Senate or House to change these portions of the health care system imposed upon us all.

5. About to impose the will of liberals on an entire country and facing polls showing the American people do not want this thing, Harry Reid goes to the well of the Senate and asks a la Rodney King: “Can’t we all get along?” Translation: “Smile and call me sweetheart while while I stick a shiv in your back.”

This has gone past liberal lunacy. It is now in the realm of an outright trampling on the rights of the people of this country which matches up quite well with the common practices of many of the totalitarian states in which I have lived and worked personally. It makes use of the common totalitarian tactic of the veneer of a phony legislative system which screws the people in the name of the people, all at the backroom whims of a small group or a single person in real control of the technical levers of political power. And how do they try to sell this thing after the fact to the populace? Easy: Here’s a free lunch.

Let us put aside for the moment the contents of this bill and address just the process unfolding before us. If you are willing to support this process or just turn your back on these dangerous shenanigans by an out-of-control political majority, you are, in the opinion of this American, one of those willing to sell your sacred political rights and liberties like a cheap whore.

If anyone here knows what actually caused the American Revolution, our fore-fathers were ticked off for what they believed was heinous behaviour and loss of liberty. What is happening here is about 100 times worse and would force the ire long ago of our fore-fathers into action. Hence why they had a revolution and hence why we are ALLOWED to have another. When you beat around the bush and say things will get better or we can vote them out next time or let logical head rules; you show nothing but cowardice. As the saying goes-talk is cheap. You get this governments’ attention when you have a special election for state representatives because of a petition for a vote of no confidence. You get this governments’ attention when you bring criminal charges to EACH member of Congress that tramps and transgresses the Constitution which is a violation of their SWORN oathe of office. You get this governments’ attention when you seriously put forth measures for secession from this “bogus” union. And you get this governments’ attention when you march down the streets YOU own in D.C., walk into the capitol that YOU own, drag the rascals out into the street and flogg them and run them out of town. If that fails then it surely is time to start the second revolution. This talk isn’t about sedition-it’s about your Constitutional rights.

Congress and the senate will continue to keep their current cadillac health care plan, they will not be included in the corrupt plan they devised, hmm, I wonder why?

Nothng in the plan would take effect before the next election, hmm, I wonder why?

Urgent: Each member of congress and the senate should be required to take a drug test and have a complete background check and polygraph and mental stability testing. Additionaly, limit terms for all.

We require other agencies such as police officers to submit to the above, these lunatics are making decisions that affect our lives and the lives of our children whether it is health care, immigration, taxes, spending, wars, etc.

Just read that Fannie & Freddie CEOs’ pay and bonus info. was released today (Christmas Eve disclosures are even better than late Friday night disclosures): http://online.wsj.com/article/SB126166298621704303.html?mod=djemTAR

If you oppose their new benefit structure, you’re a racist (at least according to the Dems.)

The background checks, mental stability tests, and polygraphs should probably be given to all top officials, not just elected officials. Tax cheat Timothy Geithner would have been caught before he become head of the Treasury Dept.

Oh, and did I say that Sheldon Whitehouse is an idiot? I meant to say that earlier, but got caught up in the whole “you’re in league with Aryans if you don’t bow to Obama” thing.
