Our Spineless Congress

By Julian Krasta

Once upon a time, in a more refined dimension, the Congress of the United States pledged allegiance to the Constitution and to the Stars & Stripes. Today, the Majority of this once august body are now using every foul tactic to clean America’s clock and ruin the lives of its citizens.

They have become the machinery of bully tactics, threats, and deceit. And they are functioning without resistance.

The mainstream media and ACORN are components of this machinery: They operate, construct, and destruct with impunity. We witnessed as they mocked decency, truth, and the laws during the presidential campaign. We watched as they stepped on heads and carried Obama across the finish line to victory: the MSM with their happy-go-lucky propaganda, and ACORN with their “ballot management.”

Congress bought the “hope & change” flimflam then sold their souls into slavery in the same way the German Army gave a blood oath to Hitler as Hindenburg lay in state. And just like those goose-stepping storm troopers, the Majority in Congress consider their “führer” and our homeland as one and the same.

The singular difference between Adolf and Barack is, at least Hitler preached unity. Obama has not, in my memory, stated in either broad or narrow terms that ours is one union; that we are one people, indivisible beneath one flag – our liberties guaranteed by the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

There is, however, one glaring similarity: Just like Germany in 1933, America today is in a permanent state of emergency. Following are some of the reasons why:

The Majority in Congress are misusing their power to force the American People to regurgitate our Constitutional rights, our freedoms, and the principles by which we live.

And if that weren’t enough, that chatty cobra, Nancy Pelosi, expects us to accept as nutritious replacements the skewed gristle that spews from Capitol Hill.

Brutes reject respectability, morality, common sense, and responsibility. On the basis of their performance, in my estimation this Congress are such brutes: incapable of feeling any empathy; and they will never express remorse over, or apologize for, their swaggering or for their self-serving doctrines, the results of which are grief and hardship inflicted on the American People.

Every day and everywhere I go I see pain, confusion, defeat, and anger on people’s faces. Bulking up these maladies is fear, because, for example, the gutless wonders in the Senate have agreed with Obama to close down production on the F-22 fighter jets. The Obama-owned House and Senate are taking the slow but very accurate route for preparing America to be defenseless against a terrorist attack.

And there is that malignant healthcare reform plan, or as I call it, “Health Control.” How mighty arrogant of Obama and his crypt keepers to assume they have the required knowledge to pass judgment on our personal health issues – that they have the right to intrude on our right to our own life or death decisions.

But that’s not the half of it. Information has just been released that Obama has appointed Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel (Rahm Emanuel’s brother) as one of the overseers of our health. How familial.

Assuming this farshtunken bill passes, where are the thousands more doctors, internists, pediatricians, heart surgeons, brain surgeons, surgery assistants, oncologists, anesthesiologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, technicians, physical therapists, orthopedists, researchers, crisis counselors, hospice care providers, administrative staffs, paramedics and other emergency personnel (to name only a few) who will be needed for the millions of patients who will be herded into this medical corral?

The Majority in Congress must be witless to believe that if Obama rubs his rubies together all the aforementioned medical professionals will magically materialize.

What about hospitals, clinics, laboratories, research facilities, rest homes for our elders and shut-ins, and emergency medical transports? Are they under construction or ready to go? Will they be fully equipped with up-to-date, life-saving technologies, medications, and treatments? Will there be critical care and intensive care units? Will there be state-of-the-art surgical theaters or will it be meatball surgery in M.A.S.H. tents?

What about our military veterans who have suffered devastating physical and emotional injuries defending our country and our freedom? Will they receive the appropriate care they deserve? Or will they be shoved even further under the Congressional carpet?

And what about children’s hospitals like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for the critically ill? Will our little ones suffering from cancers and other life-threatening diseases succumb under a Congressional axe because the sitting bulls in the House and Senate were too timid, or too pathologically proud, or too daft to stand up to Obama and say “No way”?

The Majority in Congress are putting their dirty details ahead of the People and the safety of this nation. Everything they say and do is planned to place themselves above the laws of the land and as far beyond the reach of the American People as possible.

They do this because they blindly support a reptilian ideology, which is a hatred for capitalism and an incomprehensible grudge against individuals’ rights. It is by this ideology that they will confiscate more and more tax dollars from Americans who are already pushed beyond our financial limits – just the way the Third Reich confiscated the property of persons they deemed “inferior,” “impure,” or “undesirable.”

If you don’t think they’re not looking down their noses at us, just ask around as to who the genius is in the House who wrote the term “mentally retarded” into that bill. That alone reveals the attitude of the Bolsheviks that were voted into power in Washington.

What other insensitive terminologies have been written into that bill? Will persons who must wear glasses in order to see be called “Four-eyes”? Will senior citizens be graded “Geezers”? Will those with attention deficit disorders or learning disabilities be classified as “Lamebrain” or “Dummy,” etcetera?

What’s next? Is Barack “We are not a Christian Nation” Obama planning on rewriting the laws of gravity?

The “senseless” in this country voted the spineless, the useless, the reckless, and the mysterious into power. And those men and women have set loose virulent political contagions that are spreading like wildfires across our land and into our homes and our lives.

Nevertheless, there is a stubborn faith inside me that remains strong in my fellow citizens. We must continue to hassle Congresspersons until they do what we want. If they refuse, we will vote out all the Lennys, the Squiggys, the Lavernes, and the Shirleys in the upcoming 2010 elections. We must never submit or quit.

Politicians, bureaucrats, demagogues and dictators historically underestimate constituents, which is always their biggest blunder. At this very moment Democrat, Republican, Independent, Moderate, and non-partisan voters are rising up like the sea – ready, willing and able to clear the decks of these subservient charlatans. Once we sort them out, we will then sweep clean all the dirty details they had forced upon us.

And after we dust ourselves off, the power in America will be restored to its fearless and rightful owner: The People.

Obama's Crusade to Crash Liberty

By Julian Krasta

Barack Hussein Obama has seized the wheel of power in the United States. With it he is course-plotting our nation, and our nation’s friends, to ruin.

The second paragraph of Section 2 of the Constitution begins: “He shall have power, by and with Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur; …”

It’s no secret that Obama is indifferent to the types of treaties to which this sacred document refers. With no resistance whatsoever from within Congressional chambers, he is driven (or is he duty-bound?) by a brainsick compulsion to scrap our alliances with England and Israel.

Rather than sharpening our defenses against terrorist invasion, Obama is erecting a tightly packed wall between America and our most faithful allies. The first layer of brick was when he insulted Britain’s Prime Minister by making him wait for a meeting at the White House, which was then cut short.

The next tiers shot up when, visiting England, he and his wife ditched centuries’ old protocol when they met with Queen Elizabeth. And rather than present elegant gifts to Mr. Brown and Her Majesty, they handed over what amounts to Christmas stocking stuffers for 8-year olds.

The mortar is his attempt to broker a 2-state solution that, without doubt, would set Israel up for bloodier cockfights with the Palestinians. Obama’s proposal is a faithful blueprint of what Jimmy Carter did—or, rather, did not do—with Iran: he sat back and shelled peanuts while Khomeini and the Taliban toppled the Shah and then took control.

Carter wanted Iran to fall into the hands of those who wish to exact out-and-out destruction upon Israel. And at the same time that Obama was making naïve comments to the press about how Palestinians and Israelis should be “…living side by side in peace and security,” Hamas was renewing rocket attacks against Israel.

Is Obama settling old scores? If so, what might those be? Why is he forging a plan that would be beneficial to no one but the sworn enemies of Christians and Jews?

Insofar as England is concerned, could it be that Obama wants to rake in his pound of flesh against the English who, along with the French and the Dutch, kidnapped, transported and sold Africans into slavery all across the known world over 500 years ago? Please note that nowhere in the previous sentence do I mention America. The “American slave trade” involved English, French, and Dutch landowners.
 
Obama now is obsessed with closing Guantanamo. His backstop is "rule of law" as to how to handle the incarceration of these very dangerous criminals. He, of course, continues to crucify President Bush over this and every other matter under the moon, stars and sun. But George Bush did not change the rules of war, it was al Qaida. Unlike World War II enemies in uniform, who were more easily identifiable, today's enemy has no allegiance to a particular country. They are faithful only to a heinous ideology that sanctions and demands the murder of Americans, Jews, and anyone else who does not share their "faith."
 
Congress overwhelmingly rejected Obama's request for $80 millions to close Guantanamo, primarily because each representative was being inundated with communications from their respective constituents demanding that none of those criminals be re-placed into a state facility. The fact that Obama is even toying with the idea--using "rule of law"--to disperse the enemies of America throughout America is cause for grave concern. Dispersal would invite wider terrorist attacks.
 
This is an extraordinary case which Obama should handle very carefully, because our country's security is at stake. Closing this maximum security detention center to satisfy his lust for even more power only tells me that he cares even less about the citizens to which he answers. Also, if he is ever successful by using "rule of law" to close GITMO and disperse those murderers into our states' systems, then Socrates was right when he said: "There is a point beyond which even justice becomes unjust."

It is my opinion that Obama’s bigger-than-life vision of himself has blurred his ability to think reasonably and fairly. He is the wrong man, in the wrong place, and definitely at the wrong time. America needs a clear thinking, rational, tough-as-nails leader with hands-on executive experience—a hunter-gatherer-protector—not a duke or earl coveting only the cushiness of the king’s chair.

Running hand in hand with Obama’s egregious point of view of Middle East policy is what appears to be his determination to impoverish the American People. On its face, that plan involves creating a single proletariat class that would only subsist on regulated or limited wages, doled by this Administration under the heading “benevolence.”

Among such acts of benevolence is Obama’s new energy policy, which is structured to increase utility rates. As noted in the Washington Times: “A study of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that the cap-and-trade tax will cost every American family more than $3,100 per year.” With such an increase, and others like it, impoverishment is no flight of fantasy.

Another is the collapse of General Motors and Chrysler and their takeover by Obama. As I understand it, Obama’s plan is to convert those manufacturers’ preferred stock to common stock, which would give Obama’s government voting rights over those companies.

The big one that pushed us up onto the rocks was the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac catastrophe that caused a worldwide financial heart attack. My gut told me then, and it continues telling me, that it was all engineered by the Left in order to stick the blame for everything on President Bush, and ensure a landslide victory for Obama. (Hitler accomplished the same when he ordered the Reichstag (the German Legislature building) torched. The Chancellor’s henchman, Hermann Göring, deflected blame onto the communists. It was Hitler’s first step in carving his way towards a gruesome dictatorship.)

There’s only one glaring problem the political Left here did not anticipate would result from their hedonism. They spent no time researching just how deep their insidious blade would penetrate, because what they’ve done is strike straight into America’s heart, and the heart of America is The People. And Obama continues to stick it to us every time he reads from his teleprompter.

Absolutism is not provided in the Constitution to the chief executive. Yet, in less than four months, Barack Hussein Obama, the poster boy for “Implementation Without Rules” and “The Far Left’s Rules of Misconduct,” has been permitted to take an axe to the roots of our tree of liberty.

Unless he and the others in his administration, as well as their dutiful constituents, make a comprehensive return to common sense and democracy, and soon, all that will remain of America after Obama is finished will be a lifeless stump.
