We need the 2010 tea party sweeps to continue in 2012 and beyond!! We need to increase the conservative majority in the house, take the majority in the senate and continue sweeping conservatives into as many state and local offices as we possibly can all across this great land!! No matter who wins the presidency, we're going to need the states and the people and FR to hold their feet to the fire!!
Block the feds!! Demand our states reassert their tenth amendment rights and powers and push the feds the hell OUT of our state and local business!! And it's way past time to impeach/recall/expel the corrupt usurping bastards at all levels of government including any corrupt constitution trampling judges and justices!! With conservative majorities in the congress and state legislatures, we can get it done and get our government back under OUR control!!
We the people are the sovereigns!! We the people formed our states and then established the federal government and granted it certain enumerated and severely restricted powers, reserving all others to our states and ourselves. We do not grant our consent to usurping tyrannical central government!!
And YES we CAN do it overnight and in ONE election cycle. Damn the naysayers and nattering nabobs of negativity!! Full steam ahead!!
I can see November from my house!! Vote straight conservative!! It's all about turnout so get your entire family, your friends, neighbors and co-workers to vote straight conservative!! No pussyfooting around. Just round 'em up and turn 'em OUT!!

What more hateful p-resident can you name?
8. The Preamble of the United States Constitution specifies "the general Welfare" merely as one of the listed goals to be served by the Federal government in the exercise of the limited powers delegated to it, as enumerated in the body of that instrument.
This mention of "the general Welfare" in the Preamble was intended, therefore, to serve in effect as a limit on the use of those delegated powers. The Preamble does not constitute a grant of any power whatever to the government. The only other mention of the words "general welfare" in the Constitution is in the Taxing Clause (Article I, Section 8) which authorizes Congress to collect taxes ". . . to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States . . ."
Here, too, the words "general Welfare" were designed to serve as a limitation in effect--as a limit on the power granted under that clause. This excludes any power to tax and spend for all purposes which would not qualify as being for the "general Welfare of the United States" as a whole-- for instance, it is excluded if for the benefit merely of a locality or some Individuals in the United States.
The clause does not empower Congress to spend tax monies for any and every purpose it might select merely on the pretense, or even in the belief, that it is for the "general welfare." (Discussed also in Pars. 4 and 5 of Principle 11.) Congress possesses no "general legislative authority," as Hamilton stated in The Federalist number 83.
Hamilton's Opinion
9. All of those who framed and ratified the Constitution were in agreement on this point of the limited and limiting meaning of the words "general Welfare" in the Taxing Clause.
As Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton contended for the first time in 1791 ("Opinion as to the Constitutionality of the Bank of the United States") in favor of a broader interpretation of this clause than he had formerly espoused and broader than that which Madison - with Hamilton's silent acquiescence--had presented in 1788 in The Federalist (especially number 41) as reflecting the controlling intent of the Framing Convention, which Madison and Jefferson consistently supported.
Hamilton did not claim, however, that this clause gives to the Federal government any power, through taxing-spending, so as in effect to control directly or indirectly anything or anybody, or any activities of the people or of the State governments.
Despite his assertion that this clause gives Congress a separate and substantive spending power, Hamilton cautioned expressly (Report on "Manufactures," 1791) that it only authorizes taxing and spending within the limits of what would serve the "general welfare" and does not imply a power to do whatever else should appear to Congress conducive to the "general welfare"--that it does "not carry a power to do any other thing not authorized in the Constitution, either expressly or by fair implication."
There is none.
OBAMA hates America and everything that we stand for.
He has alienated every ally that we have on purpose.
He is destroying every last bit of free enterprise on purpose.
He is trying to take away our 1st Amendment Rights of Freedom to Worship on purpose.
He is trying to take away our 2nd Amendment Rights of the Right to Bear Arms via “under the table” Fast and Furious on purpose.
He is trying to take away our 10th Amendment Rights by constant law suits, regulations and orders against any state that he disagrees with on purpose.
On and on. Obama hates the USA and is trying to destroy us on purpose.
This is the purest and the free-est of all sites ( with any meaningful legacy ) as far as I know.
An eclectic bunch of Patriots who will smoke the devil out of anything he’s hiding in.
A harsh crowd not hesitant to scold, admonish,chastise,ridicule and generally try to have fun in the most dire of circumstances...
God Bless Free Republic and all ya’ll hard asses!
