Quote of the Day - James Monroe

House Votes On Health Care Reform Legislation


The best form of government is that which is most likely to prevent the greatest sum of evil. 
- James Monroe


In this day when a blow, hopefully not fatal, was struck at our Constitution and our freedoms by the stroke of a pen by President Obama it is fitting that we hear anew the words of Monroe, one of our founders.

Our current governmental leaders rather than preventing evil is promoting it with the massive corruption, lies, misdirections, re-writing the rules, bribes (the Louisiana Purchase, Cornhuster Kickback, etc.) and worst of all rejecting the will of We the People, that they are supposedly representing.

Also this bill despite assurances including the proposed executive order to affirm the Hyde restrictions on federal funding of abortion, the true intent and purpose of this bill is to expand federal funding for ALL abortions. One government official made an off-the-cuff comment that the bill's federal funding of abortion language is necessary for cutting down on the population!

And sadly of all we see formerly good people of conviction turn to the side of evil, most notably Rep. Bart Stupak who up until Sunday was scheduled to get a "Defender of Life" award from the Susan B. Anthony List organization, but given promises of a meaningless Executive order (and possible heavy-handed words/threats from the President/Rahm Emanuel).  I wonder if NARAL or NOW will give him the "Defender of Abortion Rights" award instead given his crucial role in getting this bill passes.

Sadly Stupak's pro-life stand was shallow and meaningless when it came to the most important vote of his life, I mourn the fact that he unwittingly or under duress put his name to the biggest expansion of abortion services in American history setting the stage for all abortions to be paid from federal funds and from the taxes of all Americans.

Today begins the Second American Revolution, a fight to wrestle our freedom from the new King George and his taxation without representation colleagues in the House and Senate.  This will be a war fought in the  Courts (over a dozen State Attorney Generals filing federal challenges today), in the State legislatures (38 states drafting anti-Obamacare legislation and ballot measures) and at the ballot box as we vote for State ballot measures and constitutional amendments against Obamacare and in November when we get to send pink slips to those House and Senate members that chose to vote against the Constitution and the American public.

I am so looking forward to in January, hearing the beautiful words in the House Chamber,  Speaker Boehner, even better would be for Nancy Pelosi to hear those words from her house in California!
