Presidents of both political parties have far too much authority than what is acceptable for a republican form of government. It is simply unacceptable that so many Americans are willing to surrender their freedom to the state.

We should also change the way we look at a president. He is not the corporate CEO to our lowly employee. He is the CEO to our board of directors. He is the employee and serves at our leisure to perform a task not to rule over us as subjects to a feudal lord.

Stop worshiping these mere mortals and start holding them accountable as any respectable board should.

According to a recent poll, anti-semitism is on the rise in France (as if it ever fell). You’re talking about a nation that enthusiastically and voluntarily cooperated with the Nazi regime, deporting untold thousands, without coercion, to their doom…should we therefore be surprised by the findings of this study?

I suppose we are to believe that when OPEC nations, like Saudi Arabia increase production and the per barrel price declines, this is just coincidence, this is a politically motivated piece which flies in the face of long accepted economic theory. We know for a fact that as supply increases beyond the point of equilibrium it creates a surplus, leading to an inevitable reduction in price.

We also know that there are a number of factors beyond supply that influence price, including consumer expectations, technology and a variety of other factors. Price has not declined for a number of reasons, particularly when you look at commodity prices in the futures market it is largely based on estimates and expectations of future supply and demand, and with an administration that has made it clear on numerous occasions that they would prefer higher prices one would expect the futures market to respond accordingly.

By every objective and qualitative measure, Barack Obama is the greatest failure of the last 100 years.

Transparency: He vowed a new level of openness and honesty government and instead he has brought unparalleled levels of secrecy and deception to the act of governing.

Fast and Furious: Had this been any other president surely impeachment charges would have been filed. The thought that a president would allow, or tolerate a member of his administration who allowed arms to be funneled to criminal gangs, resulting in America deaths

Unemployment: This president has created a regulatory and tax environment so hostile to job creation that the only way he can reduce unemployment is to not count millions of people. If the Obama administration figures are to be believed, the labor force is smaller today than on the day he took office, a laughable proposition.

Energy Dependency: This president has done absolutely nothing in this country to foster energy independency, indeed with episodes like the rejection of the Keystone pipeline, the termination of coastal oil exploration and the funneling of hundreds of millions of dollars to failed green energy initiatives (another practice of questionable legality).

BP Oil Spill: Who can forget the gross incompetence put on display for all the world to see during the BP Oil spill, the people of Louisiana certainly remember, the tens of thousands of oil workers who have had to seek work elsewhere certainly remember. Imagine a man so committed to bureaucracy that he would even consider plowing through such restrictions to aid his fellow citizens.

Debt: 6 trillion dollars in new debt in THREE years. This too calls in to question the competence of a man who has never had any previous executive experience and who’s previous elective office before running for president was less than 2 years in Congress.

Obamacare: Nevermind such encumbrances such as the US constitution, nevermind the will of the people. When this president seeks to do something all who stand in opposition are nothing more than “enemies” and are justifiably ignored and brushed aside. Can there be any question as to why the full extent of this new legislation doesn’t take affect until after the presidential election.

Foreign Affairs: No doubt this president will attempt to portray his-self as a foreign policy genius, but let us examine reality, he has bowed a kowtowed to every foreign potentate from Riyadh to Timbuktu. He has done absolutely nothing as Iran has cultivated a nuclear strike capability. He was forced out of Iraq by the nascent government there and attempted to portray the move as something of his own creation.

Federalism: This regime has furthered the continued erosion of state sovereignty and seeks to increase the burden of unfunded mandates, which promises to bankrupt the states and increase the likelihood of more burdensome taxation.

In every regard and more he is an unquestionable failure, only the the greatest of fools would be blind to this reality.

Obama One Term

What a joke! Congress is clearly to blame for higher debit card fees, since recent legislation restricts the banks’ ability to charge merchants for the services they provide. The banks created a system that would enable merchants to instantly transfer payments from customers to the merchants, without the hassles of credit card processing. The merchants, who freely embraced these systems, subsequently balked at paying for their usage. Surely one cannot expect the banks to provide this service at a loss. This isn’t the government, businesses must charge for the services they provide and so naturally the banks must either charge the users or shut down the system.

Maybe they should be investigating Senator Dick Durbin since he bares the blame for the language creating the Durbin Tax, and kudos to the House for their efforts to repeal it. Then these leftists can ask Sen. Durbin why he received financial contributions from the merchants who lobbied for this change…what nonsense.

The Occupy Wall Street crowd has made it clear they want a revolution. The are marching on the homes of millionaires. How dare those dastardly millionaires (most of whom are self-made, not that that matters) keep the money that they earned, when there are people out there who are jealous of the success of others, and who are unwilling to take risks and make sacrifices to achieve their own success. Those millionaires need to turn that money over, to those who played NO role in creating it…turn it over to those who make irresponsible decisions and blame others for their situation.

The sad fact is, there will always be those who will rationalize or explain away their problems (and in some cases their overt failures)…there will also always be enablers, those who will always give others a pass…we all see them these are the parents who can never admit that their children has made a mistake, the same mentality breeds people who are never short of excuses for the problems they face…it can be seen in washington in the halls of power and it can be seen at Woodruff Park in Atlanta. The fact is, these people marching to the millionaires homes want to take from others because they face a setback (or maybe never tried in the first place) and therefore someone else is to blame. The millionaires in those homes faced setbacks too, but instead of sitting around blaming others or wringing their hands and beating drums and demanding that the government use its police power to steal from others, they got up and tried again, took risks, endured hardships and persevered.  These people are too prideful to cast a critical eye in the mirror would rather take it from someone else.

Now these same Dregs of Society are calling for violence to achieve their aims. This should, of course, come as no surprise…they want a revolution like the French Revolution of 1789. The same revolution in which tens of thousands of people were murdered at the hands of the National Razor. Such capital offenses included: complaining about the new order in France, not being enthusiastic enough about the revolution, criticizing the dictatorial committee of public safety, and of course anyone of wealth. Let the world see what the Dregs of Society have for the 99% of us who don’t believe in stealing to get ahead.

Imagine if the leaders of the United States held a national referendum. The question before the national electorate being one of who should be denied the right to vote. How do you suppose such a vote would play out? It would be safe to say that those who make up the majority of the population would be safe. This is the type of mob rule the founders of this nation were most fearful of. As Benjamin Franklin noted, democracy was not unlike two wolves and a sheep voting on what was for lunch, in such cases the rights of a minority will surely be trampled on, yet such injustices continue to exist and not in faraway lands where tyranny is a long accepted custom, but here in the United States, specifically the Cherokee Klan Nation.

In 2007, the 300,000 member tribe held a referendum on whether or not the decendenats of former Cherokee slaves who had been granted membership in the tribe over 100 years ago should be expelled. One has to wonder what were the underlying motivations of those who made the proposal in the first place. Needless to say, the overwhelming vote in favor of expulsion, has revealed the apparent underlining bigotry within the Cherokee Nation. By what concept of justice and morality can any majority through plebiscite attack to expropriate the rights of a minority? It is not just and it certainly should not be law, but alas it is and was, and the tribal court has now upheld the racially motivated decision. Cherokee proponents of the move argue they have the right to decide who is a member of their tribe and it should be based on blood rather than law or treaties, such as the 1866 treaty which extended membership to the former slaves. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is right to demand the Cherokee’s honor their treaty obligations.

Surely it is not a question of genetics…look upon some of these so-called Cherokees who have advanced this agenda, many of these Cherokees are as white as the palest Scandinavian, yet we are to believe they are the defenders of Cherokee purity? Nonsense, they are the defenders of bigotry and nothing more. Is anyone else struck by the incredible irony that a people who have endured such hardships, over the centuries, such as the Trail of Tears, could perpetrate such an injustice?
