Why Do They Spy On Us And Not The Terrorists?

June 15, 2013 by 15 Comments

Obama Big Brother SC Why Do They Spy on Us and Not The Terrorists?

In less than a week since it became public, the Obama administration’s NSA spying scandal has progressed far beyond the accumulation of Verizon’s phone records.

We now know that the NSA and its friends at Eric Holder’s Department of Justice are also utilizing Google (GOOG), Facebook (FB), Yahoo! (YHOO), and almost every other large tech firm to spy on us.

Of all the recent scandals, the NSA spying scandal is particularly frightening. Between our phone records, emails, text messages, and our whereabouts – which are provided courtesy of our cellphones – the government has admitted to knowing all our secrets.

Now, the justification for granting the regime this unconstitutional spying power is based on the idea that the snooping makes us safer. But does it really make us more secure? Ben Franklin said that “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Broadly speaking, Americans agree that politicos are slippery folk. So why would we trust them with such untold power? The record shows that, up to now, Obama and his team aren’t worthy of unlimited access to our most personal and intimate information.

Our Fears Are Justified

Based on their statements and actions, America’s leaders believe that we‘re all potential threats to the Federal government. And now Obama is learning that trust (or a lack of trust) is a two-way street.

You see, everything comes down to trust. And the American people have lost theirs in this administration. Following the string of recent scandals, it’s impossible to ignore that there’s a distinct pattern of abuse of power in Obama’s administration. Let’s face it…

  • It’s abuse of power when the IRS and other federal agencies are used to target political opponents.
  • It’s abuse of power when the DOJ is digging into the phone records of journalists.
  • It’s abuse of power when Kathleen Sebelius shakes down the same insurance companies that she regulates to pay for Obamacare.
  • It’s abuse of power when the government blames a YouTube video for what happened at the Benghazi compound.
  • It’s abuse of power to order the summary execution of an American citizen without a trial via drone strike… even if the execution takes place in Yemen, or some other far-off land.

So here’s the bottom line… why would we trust the Obama administration to not abuse the NSA’s spying powers, too?

The Sad Truth

All this spying on innocent Americans didn’t collar the Tsarnaev brothers ahead of the Boston Marathon bombing. And it’s clear they made abundant use of smartphones and the internet. Heck, we even had a warning from Russian security officials that the older Tsarnaev brother was a threat, and we couldn’t catch them.

The spying on innocent Americans didn’t collar Major Nidal Hasan before he massacred soldiers at Fort Hood, and he regularly surfed to jihadi websites.

Instead of focusing on the real problem characters, the Obama administration wants to know who you and I talk to. As Senator Dianne Feinstein, who was supposed to be providing congressional oversight, stated this last week, the authorities need this information in case someone might become a terrorist in the future.

But only the most compliant of citizen sheep would believe that Obama and his team won’t abuse this spying power.

Let’s hope that Congress will have the fortitude to put this frightening episode of domestic spying in the history books and make clear that the government only has the power to collect data on suspects of a crime.

What’s Behind Sebelius’ Callous View Of Life And Death?

June 15, 2013 by 5 Comments

Sebelius SC Whats Behind Sebelius Callous View Of Life And Death?

When I was growing up, liberals were people like Hubert Humphrey and Ed Muskie and George McGovern.

You might have disagreed with their politics; but you never doubted their sincerity, their patriotism, or their humanity.

Based on her act this past week, I’m not sure I can even call Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius a liberal in the classical meaning of the word.  How the group that says it is all worried about human beings, life, and the quality thereof can claim her as one of their own is a mystery to me.

Last week, the news media brought a story to our attention. Ten year old Sarah Murnaghan from Newtown Square, Pennsylvania needs a new lung.  She has Cystic Fibrosis and a very short time left to live absent a lung transplant.

If she was 12 years old, she would be on the list for an adult lung.  Her doctors say she could handle that adult lung.

But the rules enforced by Sebelius say that a 10 year old only gets a pediatric lung.  And those aren’t available often. Frankly, kids don’t die with lungs intact as often as adults do.

So, Sarah’s parents made a simple request.  Waive the rule, and put her on the adult list.

Nope, says Ms. Sebelius.  Not gonna do it.  Wouldn’t be prudent. Kids die all the time.

Frankly, she sounded like a bad Dana Carvey imitation.

This is a nation that both went to the moon and had its first heart transplant within a one-year period.  This is a nation in which we are constantly reminded by the so-called heirs to the Humphrey-Muskie-McGovern legacy that we owe it to the least of us to take care of them.

What is this bitch thinking?

She was straightened out almost immediately by a Philadelphia Federal Judge who ordered her to put Sarah on the adult list.

Perhaps it’s all that supporting of abortion that makes life so meaningless to clowns like Sebelius.  Or, perhaps, she’s just the kind of person who genuinely doesn’t care.

In Sebelius’ case, the pro-abortion crowd got her elected as Governor in Kansas, and she had a close relationship with the infamous George Tiller (a.k.a. “Tiller the baby killer”) before he was shot to death in 2009. (John Kennedy was assassinated.  This gangster was shot, to paraphrase Chris Rock.)

So it should be clear to most right thinking people that Sebelius clearly has the ability to look at a child and shrug off the possibility that she might die unless Sebelius took a particular action that she didn’t, for inexplicable reasons, want to take.  We would note, after all, that as Governor of Kansas, she repeatedly defended Tiller’s illegal late term abortions, thus condemning many children to death.

Still, we need to ask exactly what this nation is becoming when a cabinet secretary is perfectly willing to stand by and watch a 10 year old girl die because she’s not 12.  Just think about the death panels this woman will be in charge of at HHS when Obamacare goes into effect.

Forgetting about her defense of George Tiller’s late term abortions, if Sebelius can watch a 10 year old girl die because she’s not 12, what might she say about your chemotherapy when you are 70?

Put her together with the IRS, and you get what the so-called liberals have made our government into.

Barack Obama, Eric Holder, and Kathleen Sebelius appear to be representative of what liberalism has become.

And that faint sound you hear is Hubert Humphrey turning over in his grave.

Eric Holder official portrait SC Holder: Sowden will be held Accountable

Attorney General Eric Holder says national security has been damaged as a result of leaks about a pair of government surveillance programs and that the U.S. will punish the person who is responsible.

The attorney general made the comment in Dublin, Ireland, when asked by reporters why the U.S. hasn’t taken steps to arrest former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.

The Politics Of Fear

June 12, 2013 by 6 Comments

 Obama Nixon Avenger SC The Politics of Fear

It seems that the scandals just keep on coming. First, Americans are abandoned to die in a terrorist attack in Benghazi, and the American people are lied to about the attack by the President and members of his cabinet. All of the facts are still unknown, and the cover up continues.

Then we learn that one of the most powerful and feared government agencies, the IRS, used its power to deny tax exempt status to hundreds of conservative and religious groups in order to protect the  Democrats and influence the outcome of  the 2010 and 2012 election cycles. The IRS also abused its power by using illegal and unconstitutional tactics to intimidate the organizations, their members, and contributors and to target other individuals and companies that it perceived as enemies of Obama. Again, many of the facts are still unknown; but this is clearly a violation of the First Amendment right of free speech.

Right on the heels of the IRS scandal came the revelations that the Justice Department was illegally obtaining the phone records of reporters to find out who they might be talking to when investigating the administration. When questioned about this by a Congressional Committee, Eric Holder did what the members of this administration do best: he lied. Obama feigned indignation over the whole matter and then took “decisive” action by telling Eric Holder to investigate himself. So much for the freedom of the press guaranteed by the First Amendment.

Of course, that was just the beginning because the hits just keep on coming.  Americans are now learning that the National Security Agency (NSA), that has the task of protecting us from terrorists and other enemies, is now spying on all of us simply because we are Americans. They are gathering our phone records, reading our emails, and gathering data about every aspect of our lives. All to be stored for future use.

While all of this was breaking, the VA has been depriving our military veterans of their Second and Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution; and the Pentagon has been threatening active duty members of the military with punishment for practicing their religion (unless it is Islam, of course)  or exercising their right to freedom of speech. Not to be outdone, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has turned over the names, addresses, and other private information of over 80,000 American farm families to radical environmental groups that want to put these farms out of business.

If you think closely about all of these so-called scandals, they have one common denominator; all of these actions by our government are designed to make us afraid of it. They are meant to induce a climate of fear that has been the major strategy for every dictatorship in history. Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin were masters at it; and the people in Cuba, China, Iran, and other countries still live in this climate.

The philosophy is simple: if people know they are being monitored and that everything they say or do is subject to government scrutiny and possible punishment for any transgressions they commit, they will alter their behavior to conform to the wishes of the dictatorship. In Obamaland, that means that the news media will stop investigating his scandals because reporters and their sources are afraid of retaliation by the Justice Department.

People will stop speaking out against Obama, forming groups to influence elections, or contributing to conservative groups and candidates for fear of retaliation by the IRS. Veterans will stop seeking treatment from the VA because they don’t want to be declared incompetent and lose their rights to own a firearm. Americans will be afraid to say what they believe in emails or on the phone and even be fearful of calling their elected representatives.

Worst of all is that as a result of Benghazi, members of the military and the diplomatic service will be aware that no one has got their back. They can be sacrificed at any time for the personal political aspirations of this President.

I have come to the conclusion that none of this is an accident. Unfortunately for America, Obama is neither stupid nor incompetent. He is an elitist and a narcissist who knows exactly what he is doing, and it is only going to get worse. We now have Obamacare; and the same people in the IRS, DOJ, etc. who have attacked our basic freedoms will now control our access to medical care.

The climate of fear is becoming a reality in the United States of America, just as it did in the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. The difference is that if we recognize it for what it is and Obama for what he is, we are still in a position to resist. If that means taking to the streets in massive protests or even forming neighborhood groups to protect ourselves and our homes, then so be it.

Our founding fathers gave their all to give us this Constitution and our freedoms, and generations of Americans have given their best and brightest to do battle to defend them. We can do nothing less.

Obama Holds Secret Meeting With Reporters

June 12, 2013 by 8 Comments


Barack Obama 5 SC Obama Holds Secret Meeting with Reporters

Sometimes a scandal-plagued President has to take a few minutes out of his busy day to make sure his loyal friends in the media still have his back. According to Buzzfeed, that’s what happened on Monday:

President Obama held an off-the-record meeting with select reporters from some of the nation’s largest print and online outlets Monday, in the White House’s latest effort to placate an increasingly restive press corps.

White House officials regularly meet with reporters for so-called “background briefing sessions,” where the attendees cannot be mentioned by name nor quoted directly, but Monday’s meeting was different. Initially billed as a conversation with White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, the president made a surprise appearance — a very unusual move — and the White House placed the proceedings off the record beforehand. The meeting came amid a series of scandals crashing over the White House that has placed the administration on defense in a way it hasn’t been until now.

Formally scheduling closed-door meetings with Eric Holder to manage press coverage didn’t work – the media was genuinely angry with President Boyfriend over the AP/Fox News crackdowns, and could hardly afford the optics of marching into secret off-the-record training sessions with the Attorney General. Plan B was to hustle reporters from a select group of top news organizations into a more run-of-the-mill briefing by lesser officials, then bring Obama into the room after the doors were locked.

IRS-Gate: Join The Call For A Special Counsel

June 12, 2013 by 4 Comments

Obama 44 IRS Pistol SC IRS Gate: Join the Call for a Special Counsel

Every U.S. president seems to have one primary historical hallmark – positive or negative – that characterizes his legacy. For Abraham Lincoln, it was the abolition of slavery. For FDR, it was the New Deal. For Bill Clinton, it was Monica Lewinsky. For George W. Bush, it was the Islamic terrorist attacks of 9/11. And for Barack Obama, it will be, quite simply, scandal – lots and lots of scandal.

Can you imagine an alleged burglar investigating his own burglary, or a serial killer his own crimes? How far do you think those investigations would get? Well, that’s exactly what’s happening right now with this Obama administration. Those accused of illegal activity within the IRS are being “investigated” by the very executive branch to which they belong. Talk about the fox watching the hen house.

The White House’s “rogue-IRS-employees-dunnit” narrative has come apart at the seams. CBS News is now reporting that “Two Internal Revenue Service agents working in the agency’s Cincinnati office say higher-ups in Washington directed the targeting of conservative political groups when they applied for tax-exempt status, a contention that directly contradicts claims made by the agency since the scandal erupted last month. …

“[O]ne of the agents said her work processing the applications was closely supervised by a Washington lawyer in the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status, according to a transcript of her interview with congressional investigators.

“Her interview suggests a long trail of emails that could support her claim.”

This is only the beginning. We will never fully grasp the potential weight and scope of the Obama administration’s systemic abuses of power until, and unless, an already embattled Attorney General Eric Holder relents and appoints a special counsel. It’s time.

To that end, Liberty Counsel has developed a petition asking for just that. In addition to calling on the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee, and the IRS Oversight Board to investigate this abuse of power, we are also calling for the establishment of a special counsel to conduct a thorough investigation of IRS-gate. We already have about 45,000 signatures but would like to see half a million. (Please go here to sign the petition and help stop the targeting of conservative groups and individuals by the IRS.)

Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel said: “The IRS has effectively confirmed what thoughtful Americans feared: Under the Obama administration, the IRS amassed unprecedented power and unleashed the politically driven will to provoke and abuse organizations whose agendas run counter to leftist ideologies. As we now know, this abuse of power was strategically implemented during an election season to help assure Barack Obama’s re-election and further undermine the Constitution and its guarantees of equal protection under the law.”

RGA Chairman Gov. Bobby Jindal and RGA Vice Chairman Gov. Scott Walker agree. They sent a letter to President Obama: “This is Big Brother come to life and a witch hunt to prevent Americans from exercising their First Amendment rights,” they wrote. “Here are two steps that should be taken: 1. Fire any and all employees responsible for this situation; 2. Appoint a special prosecutor now to find out if laws were broken and if anyone committed crimes.”

On Tuesday, there were a number of compelling testimonies given before the House Ways and Means Committee by leaders of conservative, Christian, and Jewish organizations targeted by the Obama IRS.

Becky Gerritson, president of the Wetumpka Tea Party in Alabama, gave especially compelling testimony that was met with rousing applause. She proffered a remarkable depiction of what she endured personally and on behalf of the organization she leads. But her most hard-hitting comments were directed toward elected officials and bureaucrats: “I’m not here as a serf or a vassal,” she said. “I’m not begging my lords for mercy. I’m a born free American woman – wife, mother and citizen. And I’m telling my government that you’ve forgotten your place. It is not your responsibility to look out for my well-being and to monitor my speech. It’s not your right to assert an agenda.

“Your post, the post that you occupy, exists to preserve American liberty. You’ve sworn to perform that duty and you have faltered. The abuses I will discuss today occurred on your watch. It is your responsibility to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

Indeed, Mrs. Gerritson is right. It is up to our government to make sure it doesn’t happen again; but it’s up to us to make sure our government gets moving.

“We are calling for a special counsel,” said Staver, “to spearhead the investigations exposing all who were involved – and, in particular, to find out where these illegal orders originated. …

“The IRS abuses during an election cycle, Benghazi-gate, the seizing of reporter email – all of which were preceded by the Fast and Furious scandal and the corruption surrounding the passage of Obamacare – are all symptoms of an out of control government,” he continued. “Join me in calling for the establishment of a special counsel to examine the IRS’ abuse of power and to hold those responsible accountable.”

The American people agree. According to a report from The Hill, “A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released late Tuesday shows 55 percent believe the IRS targeting of conservative groups raised questions about the administration’s ‘overall honesty and integrity.’

“Fifty-eight percent say the administration’s handling of the Benghazi [mission] attack also raises questions about the honesty of the White House. The same number say the Justice Department’s subpoenaing of reporter email and phone records in national security leak investigations also raises concerns.”

These and other chilling invasions of privacy by this Orwellian Obama administration have even prompted the hard-left New York Times to opine that the “administration has lost all credibility.”

I wasn’t aware it had any credibility to begin with.

(Please make your voice heard. Sign the petition today.)

Who’s Minding The Hen House In DC?

June 11, 2013 by 1 Comment

DC Aerial Who’s Minding the Hen House in DC?

If one should wonder who’s minding the “hen house” in DC, they either just landed here from Mars, or they can’t speak or read English.  The “hen house” was exterminated back in early 2009, and the foxes have taken up residence.  They receive exorbitant salaries for hiding, participating, and creating crimes against Americans and our Nation.

First on the list of devious activities would be the disappearance of taxpayer money amounting to 787 billion dollars.  Rapidly following that smooth move was the Fast and Furious gunrunner program funded by Obama and choreographed by Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano.  Ask them who was responsible for these crimes, and Obama would shake his head and say “I don’t know anything about this, but I’ll set up a special committee to investigate it (meaning my sidekick Holder will sweep everything under the rug.)”

Then came Obamacare, and one must wonder how a bill can be passed when no one has read it.  But that didn’t bother the foxes – they passed it; helped themselves to a huge bite of our Medicare; and sent the insurance companies, the medical field, and taxpayers the bill. Obama will tell you it’s the greatest thing since Ford’s auto invention and not to worry because the IRS will monitor who’s naughty and nice.  And a bunch of Obama creeps will dictate who gets healthcare and who doesn’t.

Obama said that the cost of insurance will be reduced; we can keep our own primary care physician and live happily ever after. News flash – he lied; doctors are leaving their professions, insurance rates are skyrocketing (along with horrendous out of pocket charges), businesses are in limbo, and the quality of patient care just keeps taking one hit after another. As of May 16th, 2013, there’s not one Republican, Democrat, or rocket scientist in the “hen house” who has the guts to remove this bill.

We learned that we own all of these various expensive solar panels that no one will buy (and ugly defunct wind mills, electric cars that blow up, expensive batteries for the electric cars that don’t work, and a bunch of green companies continuing to declare bankruptcy as we speak.)

Next comes the Benghazi murders. Obama, Clinton, and Panetta all knew about the attack and flew the coop knowing that our Ambassador and other Americans were being attacked by terrorists.  Guess Lamb was the only pigeon in the hen house watching the massacre in real time.

But to hear the three tell the story, not one of them knew about it. And not one of them was in charge – so the question is: who really is running the hen house?  Could it be Valarie Jarrett and the old Soros clown?

Along comes the AP, James Rosen, the IRS scandal, and the National Security Agency’s dragnet.  Obama does what Obama always does: he shakes his head, scratches his ear, and says he doesn’t know anything about anything and passes the buck one more time.  Behind the scenes, Obama and his administration are frantically scrambling to cover up the cover ups; and they’re up to their armpits in lies and on the verge of self-destruction.

Maxine Waters probably followed Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s footsteps, opening her mouth and inserting her foot when she started bragging about Obama’s secret database to Roland Martin.

Waters said that the president has put in place an organization that contains the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That’s going to be very, very powerful. That database will have information about everything on every individual in ways that have never been done before. Guess Maxine was right!

Ironically, Maxine just exposed why the IRS and AP scandals preempts all other news at this time. This confirms why Conservatives, churches, donors to Mitt Romney, etc. are being targeted.

Big Brother is watching you, knows what you eat for breakfast, taps your personal phone lines, watches your every move, and has infringed on all of your freedoms and rights. Is this really America?

May God Bless America.

Obama’s Ideology Propels Scandal-mania

Democrat Donkey Scandals Train SC Obama’s Ideology Propels Scandal mania

White House Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett said there’s no chance Attorney General Eric Holder will resign in light of the mounting evidence against the Obama administration, including the IRS’ ongoing targeting of Christians, conservatives, Republicans, and Tea Party groups (the IRS commissioner met with Obama 157 times) and revelations that his Justice Department had been spying on journalists. 

Jarrett made the overly confident statement this week, long ago having moved on from the deadly Fast and Furious scandal and the tragic Benghazi attacks and murders, to name a few.

“Obviously, I know the president pretty well. And I know the attorney general very well. And he will be in his position for quite a while.” 

Jarrett and Obama helped bring Chicago politics to the White House. A Republican with the same background would have been vetted extensively, covered 24/7 by the media, and would never be elected. The radical, leftist, progressive individuals who make up Obama’s close friends, associations, and his administration also reflect his policies and worldview.

Class warfare. Racial politics. Marxism packaged as Christianity. America is evil. Islam is good. Twenty years involvement with Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church in Chicago. Friend of terrorists.

The following is an excerpt from ERADICATE: BLOTTING OUT GOD IN AMERICA:

The sad truth is that many Americans today don’t care that prior to his election, Obama’s handlers concealed information about his college years and no official records were ever made available – a first in our history. No college transcripts, published records, or papers had been released. What were they hiding?

By the time Barack Obama made it to college at Occidental, Columbia and Harvard, you can be sure he had formed enough anti-American views to build on what he had already gleaned from his childhood men­tor, communist Frank Marshall Davis. Davis was a labor activist, writer, and community organizer as well as a Communist Party USA member. [Valerie Jarrett’s father, Vernon had close contact with Davis, and was also a Communist]

In 2010, Dr. John Drew, one of Barack Obama’s college friends, came forward and confirmed what many informed people already knew that Obama “was basically a Marxist-Leninist.” Drew talked about his past arguments with Obama about the many brands of Marxism:

“I see evidence of a continuing commitment to Marxist ideol­ogy…. In the Marxist model, the economy is the driving force behind change in the other spheres of society.”

Dr. John Drew did his senior honors thesis on Marxist economics at Occidental College, and he also founded the Democratic Student Socialist Alliance. He was a contemporary of Obama at Occidental and a Marxist himself. In fact, Drew was a well-known campus com­munist and was attracted to the college because Occidental was known for its Left-leaning politics and Marxist professors. Some even said it was considered “the Moscow of southern California.”

Occidental attracted America’s future president. Drew believed Obama was looking for a social revolution during his college days, and he expected a movement where “the working class would overthrow the ruling class” leading to a socialist utopia in America. Drew admitted how extreme he thought Obama’s views were at the time.

In 2010, John Drew was interviewed by Dr. Paul Kengor, an author, Reagan biographer, columnist, radio host, and Executive Director of The Center for Vision & Values. Drew admitted that at Occidental he was a comrade who leaned more toward the Frankfurt School of Marxism.

Here is a partial transcript of Dr. Kengor’s radio interview with John Drew: 

Drew: “I felt like I was doing Obama a favor by pointing out that the Marxist revolution that he and [our friends] were hoping for was really kind of a pipe dream, and that there was nothing in European history or the history of developed nations that would make that sort of fantasy – you know, Frank Marshall Davis fantasy of revolution – come true.”

Kengor: “So you had a realistic sense that even though you liked these ideas, it really couldn’t happen or really wouldn’t even work.”

Drew: “Right. I was still a card-carrying Marxist, but I was kind of a more advanced, East Coast, Cornell University Marxist….”

Kengor: “I know people are listening right now who want me to address this – and especially people who are Obama sup­porters. To be fair, I mean, look at where you were then and now where you are today.”

Drew: “Well, yeah, now I’m a Ronald Reagan, churchgoing, Baptist conservative.”

Kengor: “But now, okay, so what about Obama? Where do you think he is today? And to the people who are listening and are angry that we’re even having this conversation: Look, you don’t want us to talk about this because you don’t like what it says about Obama’s past, but we have to know this stuff about our presidents! “You can’t leave this out of biographies…  That’s why the background is so crucial – Frank Marshall Davis, what happened at Occidental, goes straight to Columbia from Occidental, the Bill Ayers affili­ation, no real-world experience – this matters….”

Drew: “Yeah, I think whenever he talks about people clinging to their guns and their religion due to economic stress, that’s just the standard Marxist argument. In fact, that’s the argu­ment of alienation and class-consciousness … the superficial religious and cultural ideals of the capitalist culture … and I really think he’s surrounded by people that share that mental architecture.”

Obama is surrounded by dangerous anti-Christian, socialism-loving people. They’ve plotted and pushed their agenda to transform America. Record numbers of people now rely on government assistance. We have record spending; increasing taxes, high energy, gas prices, and unemployment; racial and political division; the healthcare system takeover; and threats on our freedoms (including speech and religion.) And now, more invasions of privacy.

Government has become an enemy of American citizens, and this administration is very good at using the tactics of distraction and diversion. With more of us becoming outraged while the media protects this administration, it will be fascinating to see this epic drama played out.

Exposing The Enemy Of The People

June 8, 2013 by 3 Comments

“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” – Declaration of Independence

There is a fable about a doe blind in one eye who was accustomed to grazing as near to the edge of the cliff as she possibly could, in the hope of securing her greater safety. She turned her sound eye toward the land that she might get the earliest tidings of the approach of hunter or hound and her injured eye towards the sea, from whence she entertained no anticipation of danger.

Some boatmen sailing by saw her and, taking a successful aim, mortally wounded her. Yielding up her last breath, she gasped forth this lament: “O wretched creature that I am! to take such precaution against the land, and after all to find this seashore, to which I had come for safety, so much more perilous.”

In America, our founders took many hardships and pains to ensure the American people would not be blind in one eye. Their sacrifice, their actions, their writings, and our founding documents ensure that American citizens may have both eyes wide open to detect tyranny and bring proper justice upon it. At the present time, Obama’s administration is being perpetually exposed in scandal after scandal, leading to a snowball effect of denial by the administration and the anticipation of how the American people will respond to its criminal activity.

For example, no one in this administration seems to know what happened during the Benghazi attack last September; and during the Benghazi hearings, Obama’s cohorts attempted to play off their irresponsible and criminal behavior.

Obama has admitted, while once again shifting the blame away from himself, that four American citizens have been killed in drone strikes.

In what is known as Extortion 17, Vice President Biden compromised Navy SEAL Team 6 by announcing that they took down bin Laden. Over 30 of them have been killed since his announcement. On Aug. 6, 2011, high-ranking military officials “neglected” to follow protocol, leading to the fatal crash of a helicopter carrying 15 members of Navy SEAL Team 6, along with 15 others, none of whom survived. This was the highest single-day loss in the war, and the largest SEAL loss ever.

Obama himself claims he did not know about the IRS targeting conservative and Christian groups seeking tax-exempt status until it broke in the news – despite the fact that the former head of the IRS visited the White House 147 times.

Both Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder refuse to be held accountable for the Department of Justice unlawfully seizing Associated Press emails or hacking into the emails of Fox News’ chief White House correspondent James Rosen.

America, this is happening with both eyes open.

Instead of invoking impeachment and civil charges, however, the state-run media is forecasting what will be the next scandal by this administration.

How can it be that America’s history was established by those who threw off tyranny, yet citizens today instead throw off their duty (1 Chronicles 22:13)?

Then, I ask, who is the enemy? It is those who through apathy tolerate these crimes against “We the People.”

Albert Einstein rightly stated that “The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.”

For those who do take action – the American people are not the ones violating the republic by throwing off corrupt government; it is this administration that is defying the laws of our constitutional republic.

America needs only to follow the Declaration of Independence to once again secure the liberties she once possessed:

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
