A friend sent me this and I had to share it with ya'll.
By: Aaron Cantor (USAF) ret.
A very good friend Michael Kennedy (who just happens to live in the Great State of Texas) sent me an eye opener in response to my previous column “Just What Is The Objective???”.
I have read the Federalist Papers many times over, but due in part I am sure, to advancing old age and shortness of memory, I had forgotten the portion he so graciously sent me, so I am including it here.
ONE piece of instruction from the Founders that would go a long way in righting all this— a near silver bullet to the heart of the beast
ONE piece of instruction from the Founders that would go a long way in righting all this— a near silver bullet to the heart of the beast!
Imagine a whole legislative class, and president focused on this ONE issue:
“The house of representatives … can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as the great mass of society. This has always been deemed one of the strongest bonds by which human policy can connect the rulers and the people together. It creates between them that communion of interest, and sympathy of sentiments, of which few governments have furnished examples; but without which every government degenerates into tyranny.” –James Madison, Federalist No. 57, 1788

Jerome I'm sorry you feel this way I was only trying to add my two cents in as I have been around the horn sort of speak from a poor neighborhood to serving my Country to holding many hard working jobs along the way as well as being homeless 3x. I've been where people have not and I just wanted to share. If that's how you feel I can't change you So Be It! The one thing I don't Sling is BS! Got It!
BS Roland C. Cartier, Jr. Abolish them all. None of them do any good. Any time the Feds create an agency, bureau, commission or department, to deal with a perceived problem, not only will the problem never improve or go away, the problem is guaranteed to worsen, and the number of supposedly victims to serve will grow. The reason for this is that every government department or agency becomes its own self-perpetuating empire and like all empires, they seek growth in size, power, spending and employees, and like all empires, they, as they seek growth for self-perpetuation, they become despotic and dictatorial. That is where we stand in the USA today. The so-called Great Society Programs, which was nationalized Welfare Programs, has totally destroyed the poor family structuure and the work ethic, and today over 50 million U.S. Citizens are on welfare with no intention or interest in working, and the government bureaucracy made the rules to make this happen by punishing Marriages for example, in the case of unwed mothers who are encouraged to go on welfare, and not marry and then the state goes after the Dead Beat Dad, which makes it almost a waste of time to try and get a job, because the state will turn around and confiscate his wages. This is the Fascistic System we now have and it is all being done by Social Workers and other Worthless Bureaucrats who are Just Following Orders who also, have good intentions.
Jerome a lot of these of which you speak are totally needed for security reasons however they can be downsized so as not to put bureaucratic directors in each of these arms. We would save billions over the long term where by coming up with practical ways of delivering the same product sort of like a buis. would do. Right? You have to have some form of guarantee of the American citizens well being in place no? Otherwise we would have complete chaos and lawlessness through out the Country. But I do agree with you about the EPA,NLRB,TSA, DOE and the Dept. of Education way too top heavy and fat time to trim some of that fat now no? If they quack like a Duck they are a Duck and believe me they are quackin'.
We gave the Repubs a big majority in the 2010 congressional elections, and Boehner became Speaker of the House, and to date, this cry baby has played a dog and pony show game with the democrats, and not one damned piece of Obama-Pelosi-Reid Legislation, Taxation or Regulations has been rolled back and every thing Obama has wanted, he has gotten it with Boehner and the Republicans going along with the Obama Regime. So, that is why I say the Dems and Repubs are basically One and The Same, and makes no difference which of these parties is elected, they are all part of the same One Big Government Party and only put on TV Dog and Pony Show Fights that are no more serious than TV Wrestlers.
Dr. Richard W. Biek I wonder what kind of doctor are you? Because if this self appointed King does this you might as well get a lot of Body Bags ready or Coffins if that is your preference because he will feel the pressure of a lot of Veteran push back and it will not feel good I Guarantee it! Because the veteran population is not minuscule quite the contrary it is over 23 million strong and that's not counting the active military that are not exactly thrilled with this Administrations policies at all. I kind of think that is a big chunk of our whole population in this Country no? We will not "Silenced Anymore" the good part is we have total diversity among'st our ranks too! We have all races, religions and creeds that truly Care what happens to this Republic.
The hangup with RHINOS is a distration by lefties to take all focus off of them.
There are 25 or less in the group you claim. I spoke of this with a Rep yesterday. Is is known by the others. They need more conservatives elected to fix this. Guess whose job this is???
Purging the democrats is a start but has to be followed with purging their co-conspirators called RINOS. And, then the deconstruction of the Federal Bureaucracy and the majority of the un-constitutional agencies and laws associated with both parties. Nixon Gave Us the EPA. George W. Bush gave us Homeland Security. Reagan gave us the DEA. Carter gave us Departments of Energy and Education. LBJ gave us the Nationalized Welfare System. All this crap needs to be abolished.
TDA, Purge all democrats and 95% of the problem is solved.
The way we undo the Obama-Reid-Pelosi Regime's disastrous legislation is one Bill at a Time, and then The Way To Undo The Past 50 Years of the Nanny State's Construction is one Bill, One Agency, One Bureauc, One Commission and One Departiment at a time. Encourage your congressmen/women to behave responsibly and stop the fascist takeover in this country. This socialist model has already run up a multi-trillion dollar national debt.
As late as 1979, the entire amount of deficit spending which had accumulated during the first 200 years of the history of this nation when added together was less than 1 trillion dollars. Now, in oly 30 years, that figure has reached 15 trillion dollars and is growing by billions daily. No country can sustain this kind of Insane Spending which is all being Spent to Amass Federal Power By Expanding the Size, Scope, and Power of the Federal Government. We have one useless agency after another and this administration is still piling them on.
And, the Gulf Oil Disaster is giving us a really good look at that Worthless Bureaucracy at work. These useless agencies such as the EPA, took weeks and weeks to do a supposed Environmental Impact Study on How Piling Dirt Barriers in the Gulf might harm the environment, while the Oil That We Already Knew What It Was Going To Do was destroying the Environment, and then when this worthless agency finally gave Governor Jindal Permission to Build the Dunes, they only said they coud build about one fourth of what they had asked for. Without this Useless and Needless Delay by a Worthless Federal Agency, Governor Jindal could have made a decision at the local level and Acted To Save The Marshes in a Timely Fashion.
Most things that need to be done in this country are best handled by the Local and State Government's who are close to the problem, can assess the problem and act on the problem swiftly and efficiently. This is how the United States was designed to Work. The Social and Political Engineers over the past 40 to 60 years have been Re-Constructing The United States' Foundations and these Re-Constructed Foundations are Faulty and Do More Harm Than Good.
The only thing that the Feds should be doing is providing for National Defense, Infrastructure, Protection of Ports and Borders, and othe National Security Issues. The Federal Government should never have been allowed to Become a Carbon Copy of the Worthless Russian or USSR Communist Model which was Made UP Of Huge, costly, and worthless bureaucracies that had to control it's citizens with an iron fist, lest they would revolt against the excesses of it's own government. This is pretty much what is happening in the USA today. The Obama administration and many in congress are continually talking down on those of us who are trying to rein in the government's excessive spending, excessive regulations and excessive taxation, and especially sick of the messages coming from this administration and his hate groups such as the New Black Panthers, ACLU, ACORN, SEIU, NAACP, SPLC, SCLC, LaRaza and others calling those of us who oppose this socialist movement by the government racists and bigots. We are not Racist or Bigoted. We are Americans trying to Get The Government's Attention, and at the same time to Educate other Americans as to what is going on in this great country of ours.
So, when we say We Want to Take This Country Back, it has nothing to do with Obama's Race, which as I understand it, he was the Product of a White Woman who was a United States Citizen and a Communist Black Man From Kenya, Africa. This makes Obama Equally White and Black, so why can we Whites not Claim him as our own. So, now I assume Obama to be a White since His Legal Parent was White, and looking at him this way, in no way changes my opinion of His Policies and his Beliefs, which, as president, he is able to act on. So, all of my Conservative buddies out there, do not waste one second defending against Racism. This is nothing but a Political Tactic being used by the Liberal Democrats with the aid of the MSM and their Hate Group Organizations mentioned above in order to Squelch the Truth of What We Stand For, which is we Stand for America, and a return to Constitutional Law, and Fiscal Responsibility.
And, that is not racist. FDR was not Black or Black and White, LBJ was not Black, Jimmy Carter was Not Black, Bill Clinton Was not Black, Hillary Clinton Is Not Black, Nancy Botox Pelosi is not Black, Harry Reid is Not Black, Barney Frank is Not Black, Christopher Dodd is not Black, Princess Barbara Boxer, a Senator and not a Maam, is Not Black. So, do not let these scoundrels in DC, The MSM, or their Strong Arm Groups and Shake Down Artists such as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louie Farakhan, the New Black Panthers or others Distract You From the Cause of Returning this Nation to Constitutional Law and Fiscal Responsibility which will provide LIberty and Justice For All which is what was intended by the Founding Fathers and that is why we have a Constitution and A Declaration of Independence which served this nation and it's citizens well for over 200 years, and Change We Do Not Need, except Changing It Back To What It Is Supposed To Be. Limited Federal Government, with most power being held at the local and state levels to deal with Domestic Policies. The feds are responsible for National Defense and Border Security, and they are doing neither of these very well, because they are too busy Politicizing Everything and in Building a Complete Fascist Nanny State that We, The People Are Telling Them: WE DO NOT WANT!!! Do not let them get you off message. This is the message.
Like Bo Jackson Said, Just Do It! That is what we are telling the Feds. Just Do Your Legitimate Jobs and Leave The Rest To Us in our Communities and States. Then, everybody can just get along, and we will do just fine.
Thank You--M. Jerome Ennis, MAed Tuscaloosa, Alabama
We need to hold them accountable and this is the siilver bullit. Please get this out there every where. We got to stop this insanity and Americans need to speak up now and do every thing we can to fight the regime!!!!!!!!
