We have a condition in America today that will lead from Soft Tyranny to Hard Tyranny and it is being fueled by the lawlessness of this administration.  That’s right, LAWLESSNESS!  When subordinates in this administration can openly and blatantly break federal law with complete confidence that even if indicted would never see one day inside a prison cell they are fueling the anarchy that is sticking its ugly head from the shadows.

Lois Lerner and Hillary Clinton, to name two, have blatantly broken federal law making them deserving of federal prosecution.  They are not only exonerated by the Department of Justice but praised by the media and justified by the president as commendable public servants just doing their job.  What job?  Are they not bound by the constitution and federal law?  It would seem the answer is no!

When the president continually does an end run around Congress, ignores the constitution using his pen and phone in unconstitutional and illegal ways with virtually no push back from Congress, the Courts, the Media and few in the public it breeds a mindset in sectors of the public that ultimately produces anarchy.  When the looters and rioters in Ferguson, Missouri are given a “free pass” to loot and riot with no fear of prosecution that plants seeds of anarchy in other sectors of the nation.  Anarchy is the fruit of those seed and we are seeing it surface time and again.  Isolated situations where people fearlessly bait and attack the police knowing that there is little or no fear or prosecution produces a mindset that can only produce anarchy.

When the public, at large, is paralyzed with fear of calling the participants of these riots and isolated incidences as terrorist criminals and terrorism, knowing that to do so would receive a swift and harsh response from the Politically Correct Police of today anarchy is being produced.  When followers of Islamic jihad know that this government will not identify what they are doing terrorism and will blame everything but their religious ideology for their actions it invites more attacks.  When the proponents of “Black Lives Matter” as opposed to “All Lives Matter” can call for the death of whites, incite rioting and looting and even declare open season on police knowing there will be no federal prosecution anarchy is budding forth and will soon become the norm in America.

When anarchy is in full bloom with daily rioting in the streets, massive killings, looting and a virtual civil war in America the federal government will be compelled to step in to gain control and maintain order.  The only hope for restoring order would be declared to be national martial law with tanks and troops in the streets of American cities enforcing curfews, confiscating private firearms, controlling travel and communications resulting in a transition from Soft Tyranny to Hard Tyranny and a complete “transformation” of America.  The end result of that would be the end of the American Constitutional Republic.

Am I being alarmist?  I hope so!  However, how do you argue that lawlessness does not breed lawlessness?  How can you not see that if those in government are exempted from obeying the laws that you and I must obey some would not see this as invitation to also be lawless?  What’s good for the goose is good for the gander!  When the federal government is not bound by the Constitution or tosses off Constitutional restraints why would any citizen that is desirous of lashing out not feel free to do so?  If you have been conditioned all your life to believe that you are an abused ethnicity or group and national leaders call for you to commit acts of anarchy to advance your cause and call attention to your perceived plight is not anarchy the natural result?

As long as those in Washington, DC refuse to do their constitutionally mandated duty and put an end to the lawlessness there can only be one natural result – ANARCHY!  When anarchy floods the streets of our cities Tyrannical government control will be the next step.  This is another reason that it is mandatory that we reject any and all who would advance and promote the policies of political correctness and the anti-constitutional policies of the past few years.  WE MUST RECLAIM OUR NATION in 2016 or we will have no nation to reclaim.

God bless you and God bless America!

Many have declared that Hillary Clinton’s campaign was D.O.A. because of the scandals but I see no evidence of that.  I am beginning to believe that even if she were indicted she would still be the Democrat nominee and millions would still vote for her even in the face of incontrovertible evidence of her crimes.  That is the nature of the political beast in America today.

We began to see how far the left was willing to go with the incredible ramming Obamacare down the throats of the American people even when the majority opposed the measure.  After all, the Left knows best and those of us who desire limited government, reduced spending and less governmental controls and interference in our lives are just ignorant, bigoted, racist, homophobes and worse.  We are to be disregarded because the Nanny State knows best and if Government deems it desirable then we must be “force fed” for our own good.  That is exactly what many of the leftist think.  Some of them simply want to take down America and advance their Socialist, Marxist, Liberal, Progressive ideology and do not care what is best, desirable, constitutional or desired by the people.

We are witnessing assault after assault on our Constitutional rights, freedoms and liberties by the Left and those on the Right are impotent or acting with impotence and demonstrating the paralysis of fear.  The Main Stream Media was rightly described by Marco Rubio as the Democrat’s Super Pac and are anything but unbiased.  Ted Cruz was right when he declared that no one believed that any of the moderators would vote for a Republican.  We were told by Nancy Pelosi regarding the Healthcare Law, “We have to pass it to find out what is in it.”  Then Hillary Clinton’s infamous response to the deaths in Benghazi, “What difference does it make now?” both describe the mentality, ideology and problem.  America be damned.  The Constitution be damned.  The will of the people be damned. 

America should have awakened when Rahm Emanuel declared, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste.  And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”  This predates Saul Alinsky but it was most assuredly part of his “Rules for Radicals” playbook.  In his chapter entitled “Of Means and Ends” he gives eleven rules for guidance with respect to ethics.  If you read them you should find the revelation chilling and also realize that it is the script used by the Leftist and Democrats in today’s politics.

Among the eleven we find:

• One’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s personal interest in the issue.  That is to say, the more you care about the issue the less you should care about the methods you use to fight it.  [My thoughts: I find that chilling.  Forget morality, right, honor or legality just do what you have to do to win at all costs.] 

• Judgment must be made in the contest of time… ethical standards must be elastic to stretch in the times. [My thoughts:  It would seem that situational ethics ignores moral moorings.]

• The less important the end… the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluation of means. [My thoughts:  Wow!  You can be ethical if it is not a big issue but if it is one you are passionate about anything goes.]

• Do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral arguments.  [My thoughts:  Spin the spin and dupe people into believing that you are justified in using any means possible to achieve your desire.  That would include ANYTHING and that is frightening.] 

• Whatever your mission “goals must be phrased in terms like Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, or Of the Common Welfare or Pursuit of Happiness or Bread and Peace”.  [My thoughts: Does any of that sound familiar in today’s political landscape?]

I believe the Democrats are going to march Hillary Clinton onto the stage as the nominee for president and depending on whom the Republicans nominate and if the voters become engaged and actually go to the polls we will either witness her inauguration or we will attain victory and defeat the leftist.

If Hillary or any Democrat is elected in 2016 the “forced feeding frenzy” will increase exponentially, the Constitution become nothing more than a memory, the Supreme Court packed to insure destruction and our national sovereignty obliterated.  Are we going to allow the “force feeding” to continue or unite, rise up and resist?   I AM WAITING!

God bless you and God bless America!

America is in deep trouble on almost every front and sadly most of the focus by the Main Stream Media, politicians and public are “hot button issues” which often divert attention from the dire straits this country is in overall.  I care about all the issues or most of them but I care about America more than I care about winning a battle on any isolated “hot button issue”. 

It seems, to me, that each time we begin to make progress on bringing to the light the plight of America with regard to National Defense, the Economy, Constitutional Rights, the Federal Budget and Deficit, Immigration, etc. there is a new scandal, hot button issue that diverts our attention from the whole to the isolated.  Frankly, I have come to believe that is by design and both parties are complicit in this excursion in to deception.

We have over 92 Million workforce age citizens not participating in the workforce in this country.  Even when we discount those who are retired and truly handicapped and unable to work we find that there is, in reality, at least 15% unemployment and most honest analyst and statisticians believe it is over 20% in real unemployment picture.  That is a problem of major proportions and is largely ignored today by all politicians.  It is not ignored by those in that situation who WOULD WORK if they COULD FIND WORK.  Sadly, there is a significant portion of the unemployed who NO LONGER WANT TO WORK.  They are satisfied to receive a handout rather than a hand up and find it more lucrative to sit idle than to work 1-3 jobs to make ends meet.  I can understand but cannot condone their choices and that is a problem in America.

Our National Defense through the systematic weakening of our military is worse than it has been in decades and possibly ever.  I resist declaring that this administration wants us open to attacks but if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims like a duck and looks like a duck it just might be a duck.  We have consistently alienated our friends and long term allies and aided those who openly declare “Death to America”.  That is unconscionable to me and should be to any American who loves liberty and having a free constitutional republic in which to live and work.  Our borders are so porous that anyone can virtually walk across unchecked and unimpeded.  That means that terrorist have open access to our borders especially our southern borders and can and possibly have smuggled in weapons of mass destruction ready to use on our sovereign American soil.  That is a problem of epic proportion.

The assault by this Administration on our Constitutional Rights and Liberties including speech, religion and the constant press to regulate to a dictatorial degree our right to keep and bear arms should be a concern.  It seems that if you are a follower of Islam you have a right to demand that federal prisons serve what you want to eat, provide you with all the tools to practice your religion but if you are a Christian operating a business you have no rights to follow your religion’s beliefs and obey your conscious.  No, your rights are subordinate to the declared rights of those who practice lifestyles or religions contrary to your beliefs.  We are in grave danger of pastor’s being ordered to conduct same sex marriages in violation of their convictions or face imprisonment.  That should be of major concern to everyone regardless of your religious or lifestyle views.  If they can do this with in one area what is to prevent them from making broader and more sweeping rulings that strip every one of their constitutional unalienable rights?

We have an administration that has and is using various federal agencies as a virtual Gestapo and targeting all who hold differing views ideologically.  This has been done in violation of law, the Constitution and moral reason and the elected officials, main stream media and many within the public simply yawn or wink at it and say, “Oh well.”  No it is not “Oh Well, it is a road to Hell” for the nation and we must become alarmed and refuse to lose focus.

We have a debt and spending problem in America that cannot be resolved in our lifetime and is a threat to our grandchildren and all future generations.  It is not an easy fix and cannot be resolved by increasing the entitlement spending and freebies politicians are so prone to offer and press for.  Allowing our votes to be purchased is literally taking the hammer and driving nails in the coffin of the Republic.  Somehow many are so deluded and in such a state of denial they do not think this house of cards will crumble in their lifetime and seem to have little concern about future generations.  That is not the America or the American spirit which birthed this nation and has made her great for generations. 

Benghazi is important, illegal emails are important for they speak to character.  The IRS, Planned Parenthood, Fast and Furious, Unconstitutional Executive Fiats, Veteran’s Administration, Bergdahl, Iran Nuke Deal, Obamacare and more are all critical issues but individually they are not the Big Picture and we must keep the Full Picture in mind when we decide who is to represent us as President, Senator, Congressman/woman, Supreme Court Justice, etc.  America is dependent upon her patriots to rise to come to her rescue and if we fail the America our Founders gave us, and we have known will be nothing more than a memory.

Will you become distracted and caught up in “hot button issues” or will you stay focused on America and steer her on the right course for Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?  God bless you and God bless America!

In the world of politics the past is used as a negative or a catalyst to advance an agenda, spin a narrative or make a particular politician or party more palatable than the other.  If the candidate or party’s past on any point is negative they attempt to make it inconsequential and suggest there were any number of mitigating circumstances that the general public either could not understand or is not privy to.  If there is even one time in their history where they were on the positive side of an issue that is a hot button to the voters they tout that one instance as the entire history of their past ignoring the other times they sidestepped or hurled missiles at the issue shipwrecking or hindering it.  The politics of the past for politicians is to spin the spin they desire the voter to remember and focus on.  Politics of the past for those of us who are deeply concerned about America should provide a plethora of information to enable us to question, investigate and focus on where we believe that candidate or party will take us in the future.

In the world of politics the present it is difficult for a candidate or party to ignore but as in the politics of the past they attempt to diminish the negative while enhancing the positive in the minds of potential voters and contributors.  The present is a result of the past and sometimes it appears we forget that reality.  My past has shaped my present and that is true in politicians, political parties, nations and peoples.  If our history is one of taking positions contrary to the constitution of the United States, advancing agendas that restrict, diminish or repeal the rights and liberties of the citizenry the present will be reflective of that as well.  When a candidate is auditioning of a political position they attempt to change the spots of the leopard and virtually become a Chamaeleon adapting to the particular crowd, ideology or environment in which they find themselves.  Their antics and spin are often an insult to the intelligence of any voter who exercises their cognitive abilities and think.  If we view the present through the lens of the past we will often find that we have a better grasp of present reality without being deceived by the veneer often offered.

In the world of politics the future is more often than not a fictional presentation designed to garner votes and dollars rather than a genuine commitment.  Politicians frequently want us to ignore the past, disregard the present and drift into a world of fantasy as in the “Hope and Change” mantra that has been anything but positive for our nation.  The future is a reality achieved from the events of the past and the actions of the present.  What I have done in the past has led me to my present and how I handle my present will determine my future, at least in the immediate.  I never fail to acknowledge that God can and will make our future bright regardless of the past or present if we turn to Him but that is generally not the world of politics.  Politics is often a presentation of a future that is not remotely consistent with the history of the past or the reality of the present.  It is a promise designed to propel them into the position they seek not a commitment to serve the voters or honor the constitution.

In today’s America we have a significant number of people willing to ignore the past, disregard the present and dream of a future as presented by politicians without attempting to connect the dots, weigh the information or consider the possibilities or probabilities of their promises.  It is a mistake to assume that a politician, person or political party cannot and does not change, they do.  It is a mistake to assume that a mistake in the past did not provide the necessary lesson to alter the ideology or agenda for the future.  However, if we examine the past in light of the present and seek to determine if any change in the present is truly ideological or only an attempt to persuade potential voters and contributors we will better determine the future with that politician or party.

I would hope that every voter invests the time and resources they have to examine the history of the politician and party, review their present position and actions asking why the change or when the change occurred.  If I know where a candidate has stood and what they have done I can evaluate where they now claim to stand and what they are now doing in a better light enabling me to predict their political course in the future.  Therefore, it is important that we review the past, examine the present and consider the future as honestly and realistically as we can.  That is why I attempt to uncover the voting record, public positions and associations of the past as well as examine any shift in the present.  When did they modify their position and what prompted that modification or shift?  Was the change prior to announcing their candidacy or has it evolved during their pursuit of the nomination?  What were their associations of the past? What are their associations of the present?  Those will help me to identify the probable associations of the future.  Leopards do not change their spots and although people do change their views, birds of a feather typically continue to flock together.  Therefore, if a politician has changed their position I desire to examine their actions in the newly identified position as extensively as I can to determine if the change is genuine or politically motivated.

America’s future hangs in the balance and if we want the America envisioned by the founders and afforded by the Constitution it is imperative that we examine the past, acknowledge the present to gain a realistic view of the future.   It is up to us to reclaim this nation as a Constitutional Republic but that will require much work and an unrelenting commitment.  Are we willing to make that commitment?  America’s future is at stake.  What say you?

God bless you and God bless America!

I am aware that the current president has claimed to be a Constitutional Law scholar and having taught Constitutional Law.  Therefore, I cannot but wonder if his skirting, ignoring the constitution and attempts at rewriting the American Constitution are due to a lack of knowledge or arise from a more sinister position and ideology.  Either conclusion is bad for America but one could be somewhat excused the other is treacherous and could even be called treasonous.

Recently this president spoke at a fundraiser for the Democratic National Convention which was promoted as a “LGBT Gala” in New York City.  It was scheduled in conjunction with the president’s appearance at the United Nations and he had some disturbing things to say to Christians in America.  The quote of what he said is: “We affirm that we cherish our religious freedom and are profoundly respectful of religious traditions, but we also have to say clearly that our religious freedom doesn’t grant us the freedom to deny our fellow Americans their constitutional rights.” 

Let me ask a few questions regarding that statement.  Mr. Obama do you mean that the rights or desires of the LGBT trumps religious convictions and freedom for all other Americans?  Since you are a Constitutional Law Scholar are you attempting to declare that “same sex marriage” is a constitutional right?  Where exactly in the constitution does it address marriage?  If two people of the same sex choose to live together and even have a ceremony deemed as a wedding they have that right.  Is there a constitutional mandate that demands any or every clergyman, business and institution recognize and participate in the advancement of that lifestyle choice?  Is there a constitutional mandate that declares the federal government can legally instruct churches as to what they can or cannot believe?  The Constitution, as far as I can discern, does not address marriage and therefore the Supreme Court has no legitimate authority to weigh in on this matter.  The issue should be left to the individual states and thereby the peoples of the state.  I personally hold convictions based on my understanding of the clear wording of biblical passages and do not believe the federal government has a right to mandate I alter my conviction.

Mr. President those of us who are Christians and hold conservative views do believe in the Constitution and Article III, Equal Protection and the 14th Amendment.  We also believe in the other Amendments and if there is an Amendment we believe should be changed we are willing to go through the constitutional process of amending the constitution and see it ratified by the states.  You seem to be averse to that process and somehow believe you have the right to use Executive Fiat to achieve whatever ideological purpose you desire.  If you are truly a Constitutional Law Scholar you should know better and I believe you do so why are you taking this action?  Therefore, I must wonder if his statements and actions based on a genuine belief that constitutional rights are being violated or is it an attempt to subvert traditional family and biblical values in America.

Does Mr. Obama truly believe that there should be no borders anywhere in the world or only in America?  If he truly believed in global citizenship surely he would be verbally addressing every other nation including the Muslim nations to remove their borders and allow whomever was present within those borders to legally and openly participate in their legislative, social, political and economic processes.  Is he calling for open borders worldwide?  NO!  He is only calling for the elimination of our borders and especially our southern border but why?  It cannot be that he believes the Constitution grants citizenship, without reservation or restriction, to anyone who shows up on our shores legally or illegally.  If he were truly a global citizenship proponent he would be laboring for an erasure of borders worldwide.  It could be argued that he and the United Nations are doing that but Mr. Obama’s direct attack is on America not the world.

The Constitution of these United States of America was developed through rigorous debate, dialogue and discussion and has been amended through the prescribed process.  The Constitution was to be a safeguard against despotism and tyranny.  It was designed to provide checks and balances between the three detailed and designated branches of government.  Mr. Obama lamented that the American Constitution was a “Charter of Negative Liberties” in which the founding fathers filled with constraints.  He lamented that previous administrations and Supreme Courts could not successfully reframe the American Constitution into a redistributive document.  He advanced the Big Government mentality saying, “The Constitution says what the states can’t do to you, what the federal government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf.”   Mr. President, the founders did this for a reason and that reason was to prevent a wannabe dictator from emerging and imposing tyrannical rule in America.  It was a safeguard against the overreach of government or was supposed to be.  You sir should understand that since you are a Constitutional Law Scholar.

May the God watch over this nation and bring forth those statesmen, patriots and leaders who will lead us from the wilderness of Big Government to the Constitutional Republic the founders envisioned and implemented.

            God bless you and God bless America!
