Too Big

November may be a most revealing and educational month. I am interested in how the "too big to be arrested, impeached and jailed" class will fare if they lose control.

Unsustainable...

Task Force Finds Personnel Entitlements “Unsustainable”
Observation Post columnist Tom Philpott interviewed Maj. Gen. Arnold L. Punaro, USMCR-Ret., chair of a five-member task force of the Defense Business Board that, in October, will recommend to Defense Secretary Robert Gates ways to reduce overhead costs in DoD.


Dear Senator,
Having read the above, I am so angry I could chew nails and spit rust! It is the absolute last straw!

You know what is "UNSUSTAINABLE"? It is having almost half the citizenry not paying any income taxes and, in fact, millions getting up to $8,000.00 "REFUNDS" on income taxes they DID NOT PAY! It is "UNSUSTAINABLE" that almost half of the citizenry is sucking on the public teat via countless vote buying scams, excuse me, social programs, run by Congress and have been doing so for generations, taught how by the preceding generation. It is "UNSUSTAINABLE" that American medical, penal and social services continue providing the care and feeding of upwards of 30,000,000 illegal aliens with thousands more coming every day due to Congress' failure to provide the very basic requirement of government, a secure border.

Providing and sustaining a military force is a Constitutional requirement...read it...a copy is on file at the Library of Congress. I find none of the items listed in the paragraph above in that document as the Constitution DOES NOT PERMIT nor give license in any way for government to be a charitable organization! Quite the contrary!

The current Congress and several before it have woefully failed the American people, have feathered its nest and reneged on its promises to the detriment of the working man and the annuitant who paid into Social Security (A big SOCIALIST mistake) and the retired military person who served with honor and earned a retirement...many didn't, you know. Many are buried on foreign soil where they fell. Many, many more are buried in national cemeteries across the nation. They aren't drawing retirement benefits or availing themselves of Tri Care. But Congress, Congress bestows upon itself undue raises, premium health care and a retirement plan envied by royalty. That, sir, is "UNSUSTAINABLE". Congress usurps medical care in the nation, bails out Wall Street, banks and automobile manufacturers (while slipping the fid to the investors) and pays obscene bonuses to the managers of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae based on "creative accounting". That, sir, is "UNSUSTAINABLE". Electioneering by stealing millions in public funds via rider legislation totally unrelated to the base legislation to "bring home the bacon" and ensure reelection is "UNSUSTAINABLE". In short, Congress seems to have been very, very busy doing everything the Constitution forbids and precious little of what it requires. That, sir, is absolutely "UNSUSTAINABLE".

To find military personnel entitlements unsustainable in the face of the sacrifices made in the past and being made at this very moment and the promises given then and now to secure the personnel to make those sacrifices is, for lack of a stronger word, egregious. To even consider taxing prostheses and medical equipment for wounded warriors is so contemptible and nauseating as to make even a buzzard puke. Having defied the Constitution, the tax payer and the will of the people, my only hope is that, when Congress finishes digging this hole, they fall out of the other side of the earth and into outer space having defied the law of gravity as well. I think Congress can expect a large crowd waving them goodbye in November.

Stop Paying Them

We are paying Congress and the Administration to solve problems like the porous border and a lousy economy. Let's stop paying them until they solve the problems and hire new ones if they can't. They have two months to shape up or be shipped out.

Most Damning Reason

The most damning reason for impeaching Obama, the AG, and all of Congress is that they have, through malfeasance or intention, failed to meet the most basic requirement of government and that is to protect its citizens from foreign threats to life, limb and property. Their negligence has made their oath of office a lie.

How Predictable...

The left has gone toilet-tongue on the conservatives...how predictable. I have little use for people with such a limited vocabulary. I guess that is why I dislike rap music. Liberals and Marxists sound to me like a rap garbage dump...I just can't bring myself to use the word song.

More Justice

Recent rulings indicate that America would have more justice with less judges.

Mediocre Orchestra

I have no use for the race hustlers as they stand mute on slavery in Somalia that continues TO THIS VERY HOUR and the National Organization of Women for their deafening silence starting with Clinton's poor treatment of women and the continuing, egregious assault on womanhood in the Middle East. They are tinkling bells and sounding brass unfit for even a mediocre orchestra.

Enforcing Federal Law

I find it odd that the judicial branch can stop AZ from enforcing federal law, but, even with all the checks and balances built into our republic, that branch refuses to require the administration to enforce its own law. Seems to me like the SCOTUS could give the Justice Department 30 days to comply or rule that AZ can do as they see fit.

Mission Accomplished...Obama Can Go Home Now.

Barack Obama can leave anytime now. The job he was given to do has been done. The Constitution and rule of law has been so deeply downtrodden into the mire that neither the Administration nor Congress feels bound, in the slightest, by its precepts while we, the people, look on and shrug our shoulders. America's health-care is in shambles as no one knows what his plan does in its entirety. Congress still hasn't read the legislation they passed. The bits and pieces leaking out are frightening. It will be Gordian Knot unravenable for a decade or more, but even then, the damage has already been done. The economy is teetering on the very knife edge of ruin by socialist fiscal policies that produced incredible national debt, waiting only for the slightest zephyr of truth for the dollar to come tumbling down. Business and industry has either shut down or moved off shore leaving this former industrial giant a cottage industry with upwards of 20% of the nation unemployed. The tax base has shrunk to just about 50% with the other half leeching off the ones that still have a work ethic. We have lost the respect of the rest of the world community by the apologetic buffoonery of our leader and the very last shred of national credibility will vanish like a vapor when it is revealed that a non-citizen with the help of powerful backers pulled off the greatest scam in recorded history and no one had the balls to put a stop to it...and, make no mistake about it, it was done with the advice and consent of the entire congress; they knew. Our constitutional congress has been replaced and nullified by Marxist czars who rule the country in reality. Congress has been relegated to passing out money from the remaining taxpayers and printing presses to the ever growing army of slackards and special interests who keep the current congress in office clinging desperately to their fading power as it slips through their fingers and into the hands of unelected entities. Efforts to weaken the nation's defense have been accomplished with remarkable success. Our only edge was technology and vital technology was given or sold to potential enemies by a previous administration and brutally curtailed by this one leaving America at the mercy of a potential enemy that has a standing army just a shade smaller than our entire population. The single, last step may be the formal turn over of America to UN control. Whether that will be done formally by the administration and congress as a final parting insult or just simply allowed to happen as the UN flows in to fill the power vacuum when Obama leaves for whatever reason and total chaos sets in. He could go home to Kenya. The extradition agreement between the US and Kenya allows for several exemptions and Obama is pouring, many say illegally, millions of US dollars into the Kenyan elections to ensure the outcome is favorable. I feel certain that America has been had. I am waiting to see how the rest of this charade plays out. I am afraid the last act will be as bloody as it will be futile. The saddest aspect of this whole disaster is that it could have been avoided by an active and educated electorate and an honest media. The persons responsible for not putting an end to this debacle in time to save the republic stare back at us from the mirror every morning. One fact is irrefutable. This government, as it has become, is not repairable. It must be rebuilt from scratch using the core values of our original founders. Whether America will be given that second chance is no longer in earthly hands.

Die-hard Dishonest

If the population is well armed and uses their equipment rationally and prudently I think the need for police will diminish greatly. I would expect a "bubble" in the mortuary business until stupid criminals are eliminated and the smarter criminals find safer, perhaps even honest, work. The die-hard dishonest can always run for public office.

Catch and Release

Washington just can't seem to get a handle on illegal immigration and the havoc it is wreaking on the states. This is understandable as the problem is distant and does not affect the beltway. The administration has publicly announced they won't deal with the problem and Homeland Security says no problem exists and the borders are secure. The obvious answer to this conundrum is, if Washington can't come to the problem, send the problem to Washington. If illegals have all the rights ascribed by the Administration, one of those rights must surely be to visit the nation's capitol and express their gratitude in person. The ineffective catch and release program preferred by Washington should be embraced, though slightly modified, by the states. Each and every state should contract with a tour bus company and transport all captured illegals non-stop to DC and release them at all the premiere tourists debarkation points; across from the White House, the Capitol Building, the Congressional Office Buildings and the Mall to name but a few. A few thousand buses daily from all across the nation hourly releasing their "catch" of tens of thousands of illegals within the beltway will move the problem to where it may get even this Congress' attention. I think the states might find this a much cheaper solution in the long run. Buses and bag lunches just aren't that expensive compared to the current alternative. It would certainly be a much more satisfying solution.

Marinating In It

The House Un-American Activities Committee used to watch for the incursion of Marxism in the government. That job was taken over by the DOJ. The DOJ can't seem to find ANY evidence of Communism, Socialism or Fascism attacking constitutional government today. Maybe it is because they are marinating in it.
