Shocking Obama Admin admission: The government is too big to manage!!
Well, yes it is. And this is a self-evident truth. Too big, too corrupt, too abusive, out of control, unmanageable, unconstitutional.
And this is a primary reason the Founders established the constitution restricting the size and scope of the central government. They did not want, and we the people did not want an all powerful central government.
Another self-evident truth is that MOST of the programs currently installed by our federal government are NOT authorized by the constitution. There are actually very few functions enumerated and delegated to the central government by the constitution and those not specifically enumerated and delegated to the central government are reserved to the states and the people. This is so WE THE PEOPLE can manage and control them locally. Something the feds cannot and will not do and that is self-evident.
And another important self-evident truth that needs to be pounded home even to the "low information voters" is the very real fact that government worker unions are a direct threat to our chances of continued liberty and should be abolished. We the people are not robber barons. They do not have to organize against us. The fact of the matter is, the government workers unions are mostly an extension of the democrat party and their mutual goals are to increase the size, scope and cost of the government. Constitution be damned. They are organized against US the taxpayers. And a large portion of the union dues they collect go straight into the political coffers of the democrat party and to their unconstitutional expansionist goals.
Obviously, this is a major conflict of interest and a corrupting influence on our public "servants" who are supposed to be defending the constitution, enforcing limited government, and defending our liberty.
And the self-evident result of out of control unconstitutional government is what we're seeing today. We have a president who admittedly is a constitution-loathing, spread-the-wealth-around Marxist and he has specifically targeted tea party patriots, Bible believing Christians, Rush Limbaugh and FOX News as his enemies. And has made public statements that they should be shut down and if they bring a knife, you bring a gun. He publicly states that he will illegally go around the congress and the constitution to implement HIS policies. And he's doing exactly that.
He doesn't have to specifically order the departments under his "control" to go after us. He's set the stage for government abuse and his democrat union worker underlings are going to do his bidding with or without his direct orders. And they know that he's not going to come looking or put a stop to it. They are no longer faithfully executing their offices. They are, in fact, partisan advocates (union democrats) going after their political enemies under the "color of law."
Self-evident!
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
Man is not free unless government is limited.
Where does it say that the people are to elect US Senators?
Public employee unions should be abolished. They contrbute campaign funds to Democratic candidates who, in turn, then get elected and negotiate pay and benefits with the very same unions. A complete scam.
He’s just doing the job that the Obamabots elected him to do. We are now pre-WW II Germany. There are plenty of Americans who approve the Adminastrations behaivor and want to see more. A good 1/3 of the country wouldn’t say a word if conservatives were rounded up and sent to FEMA camps for re-education. Don’t believe me? Just read through comments section on any of the present news stories on any of the Administration sandals on most any of the news sites.
The President sets the tone, observed Peggy Noonan last Saturday in the WSJ. And so, it may well be true that this Pres..ent did not know about the shenanigans of the IRS while they were happening (since Watergate, or perhaps even earlier, care has been taken to shield the POTUS from knowing too much), but didn’t he inspired them?!
That was the ill-advised 17th constitutional amendment made by the “progressives” of a hundred years ago along with the equally ill-advised 16th amendment ushering in the income (slave) tax that funds the unconstitutional expansionist behemoth.
Your words, Jim, are a keeper. The root of our nation’s sickness is the public worker unions.
That will be the point of no return.
Looks like a nice crop of propaganda and delaydenystall&divert’em ahead this summer..
Ya up to one more journey? lol
This is Clinton 2..
No, make that the 4th term of Bubba
I’m having a hard time suppressing the chortles over looming O’s predicament(s)..
Ask a typical conservative to explain separation of powers, and he/she will wax eloquent on why the legislative, executive and judicial powers must kept separate to avoid tyranny.
Ask a conservative who has studied our founding era a little bit more and he may ask back, “do you mean horizontal or vertical separation of powers?”
A Senate of the States provided vertical separation of powers. It was the structural means to enforce the 10th Amendment and much more. It prevented consolidated, all powerful government. Absent a practical ability to secure our rights, they were but “parchment barriers.”
Mind exercise: Would a Senate of the States these past hundred years have ever consented to judges who were hostile to the 10th?
What right is most closely guarded? Notwithstanding Obama’s recent assaults, freedom of the press is nearly unrestricted. It is not because the 1st Amendment says so. It is the self interest of the press that makes politicians reluctant to violate it, to risk a world of hurt coming down on their heads.
Below is a statement by Obama's henchwoman, Valerie Jarrett. The "opposition" she refers to are American citizens, patriots that are for smaller and less intrusive government and Obama agrees with her every word because she's still his senior advisor. This is something we'd expect to hear from the Hitler machine of the 20th Century.
“After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time,” warned Valerie Jarrett, Mr. Obama’s longtime senior adviser. “Everyone not with us is against us, and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay.”
The rumors are those comments are written by lowly workers at the IRS.
Michelle obama is doing her part on limiting gov’t. She put them all on diets while barry is attending to others by making sure they can’t use their mouth.
These two have set the standard for openly, unapologetic, lying and corruption.
And his socialist workers union goons in his various executive branch departments are carrying out his orders.
Amen!!
Been waitin' for years, you paper-hanging son of of a bitch.
Feb 17, 2008 ... ... “Don’t tell me that words don’t matter,”
Another quote from the know nothing in chief. It seems to fit your quote perfectly-—He told his minions EXACTLY what he wanted them to do.
You quoted some of the few words of truth the Marxist has uttered!
IMPEACH the b#stard and he is a b#stard!

We will prevail, with God’s blessing and His help.

He can’t deny his part there is tape after tape
He irresponsibly incited racial division in the Zimmerman trial. Inciting to act....attack. ..... Riot
