About two weeks ago a young Member of the EU Parliament made a speech to the EU Governing body in which he called out the British PM for failing to act appropriately to the economic stresses befalling his beloved country. This MEP was Daniel Hannan. MEP Hannan pointed out what the adults in THIS country have been saying for Months. What is so outstanding about this speech is that it is a speech that every head of state and member of every nations legislative body should be forced to listen to. Here is the speech.

This is the speech of a statesman. Why are John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Mitch McConnell, and Michael Steele not shouting these sames things from the rooftops. They should be in front of every camera that is withing 100 feet of them every chance they get and making every radio appearance they can book. They have proven themselves totally incapable of making any difference in the legislative process to date. We statesmen and they are not delivering. They sound like 3rd grade boys fighting with each other at recess.
Send this to your Congressmen and Senators. Let them know that this is the level of commitment and passion for this nation that we DEMAND!

The Constitution in 4X4 squares
The current leadership of this nation have decided to use the US Constitution as toilet paper. First, they have taken it upon themselves to insert themselves into interstate commerce on a scale that only rivals prohibition. They have decided that they, a band of lawyers and career moochers are far more capable of managing multi-billion dollar corporations than our most successful business leaders. The Federal Gov't could not manage a 2 car funeral much less a multi-national corporation. Their success record is astounding. Amtrack and the US Post Office come to mind. Every competitor of these fine institutions provides a far better and more efficient service than our Gov't owned products could ever do. Wow, we need Barney the Frank and Nancy Crazy Eyes Pelosi running our financial institutions don't we.
Secondly, these pin heads have decided that Bills of Attainder or Ex Post Facto legislation is warranted because they say so. Forget the words in the Constitution that specifically prohibit this action (Article I, Section 9), it was not meant for them. They are far more wise than the dolts that elected them. Those poor schmucks were gullible enough to eat up the balderdash being served during the election. Why should they abide by the oath taken by each of them when sworn in as a Congressman or Senator, we the people that elected them are too intent of seeing who the next American Idol will be to remember what they did come the next election cycle. They will bring home the bacon (translation...pork) about 6 months before the next election and their willing accomplices in the Main Stream News media will dutifully sing their praise so as to perpetuate their hold on power.
I would sincerely doubt that President Obama has the stones to veto the House Bonus Tax legislation.
This brings me to the point that Our Legislative and Executive Branches of Government are abdicating their duty to the US Constitution. In their haste to "Do Something" they have used our most honored and revered document to wipe their dirty asses.
To be totally fair, George Bush did this same thing when he kicked the can to the Supreme Court by failing to veto McCain/Finegold. That was/is an attack on the First Amendment, and our President at that time failed to Defend and Protect the Constitution of the United States against a domestic enemy. He was wrong then, and the current leaders are wrong now in that they are passing legislation in open and direct violation of Article I Section 9 of the Constitution of the United States.
The Tea Party movement that is sweeping the nation, is the Honey Wagon we need to clean out this septic tank we now call Congress. This will not be a clean job, it will not be a pleasant experience, but nothing worth having comes without a cost.
Please bear in mind that the Boston Tea Party was a result of a 1% tax. One Lousy Percent, and our Great, Great, Great Grandfathers went to war against the largest Empire in the world.
Love him, hate him, or have no opinion at all about him, but Rush Limbough wrote an essay about the signatories of the Declaration of Independence.
"Our Lives, Our Fortunes, Our Sacred Honour"
Give it a read. It might stiffen your spine a bit for our task ahead. We face none of what they did.
If there is a Tea Party planned in your area, PARTICIPATE! If there is not one planned, get busy and start one up. You will be amazed at how many like minded folks there are in your community. Call the local news media and make a big deal out of it. Contact Fox News Network, and any other national outlet you think would not be a total waste of time.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

US Top Cop Soft on Mary Jane
Our new AG has decided that he wants to pick and choose which federal laws he want to enforce. In a landmark decision on the part of the Justice Dept. Mr. Holder has decreed that federal prosecutors will not pursue federal drug charges for distribution of "medical" marijuana unless they have violated both state AND federal law. It is the law of the land that states that the sale and distribution of marijuana is a criminal act on a federal level.
Don't take my word for it look at the AP story here: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090318/D970N6VO1.html
On the other hand, he was hell bent on lobbying for the reinstatement of the Brady Bill. As well he was a supporter of the DC gun laws recently overturned by the US Supreme Court.

Outrage and Hissy Fits
The US Congress is having hearings today to discuss the AIG bonus fiasco. The very people that created the mess are the ones wringing their hands and stamping their feet. They had an opportunity limit these contractually sound bonuses in the Stimulus bill. However, in a closed conference committee meeting with the House, Senate, and White House the legislation was removed from the stimulus bill and replaced with a stipulation drafted by Chris Dodd (D) (Conn) who is on the sitting Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. Why are the politicians who stepped on each other to get to the microphone 6 months ago now grandstanding over 1/10% of the Taxpayers money GIVEN to AIG. As I understand it AIG entered into legal contracts with employees for bonuses based on performance. If AIG and said employees agreed to the terms and conditions of these contracts 2,3,4 years ago, they are legally binding contracts as long as the employees met the terms of those contracts. Now we have our federal legislative branch looking to foist themselves into private contracts. That is a slippery slope. It stands to reason that this would not be the last time they would do such a thing.
We the people of these United States of America should stand up now and make it known to our legislative body that we do not condone this activity. We stand to lose one of the bedrocks of our nation should we not protest this blatant power grab.
These are the same folks that have passed the largest appropriations bills in the history of this nation without so much as reading the legislation. They have admitted this.
Where is it going to stop? We are pissing away the future of this nation every day.
