My Guide To Simple Solutions For Problems Caused By Over-Complication In Our Political System

 

There are problems in this country, and those problems were compounded by the over complication of everything from soup to nuts – This over complication was initially caused by those in the legal profession being given ivory pedestal status by the common man. Here is how it works;

If you have ever had to retain a lawyer for anything, and I hope that you haven’t, take out the paperwork and read it again . . . while you are reading it count how many references there are to “The Party of the first part” and other jargon that sometimes seems like a foreign language, such as “The litigants”. It is language like this that makes legal documents so cotton picking long and complicated. I once asked a good friend of mine who is an attorney just why this kind of language is in these documents. His answer was there is no other reason than to make it look like the lawyers and the judges know much more than the common man. Now before you all crucify me for that statement, think about it for a second or two. The statement “The party of the first part” can actually be replaced by a name, either of an individual or a company or an organization – but a name none the less. I have always demanded that my lawyer translate any and all documents that concern me into common language that anyone with a fifth grade education can understand and you will be surprised at just how many fewer pages of paper it takes to say the same thing that volumes used to cover!

These complicated ways have overflowed into our political system much to the advantage of the politicos who get re-elected time after time. They have used legal jargon to further their political careers over and above what the framers of our Constitution actually intended for them to be. Now it is time for the common man or as the words in the Declaration Of Independence actually describe us; “We The People” to retake control of the politicos of this nation and put things right again.

The founding fathers and the framers of the Constitution gave us all the tools we need to do this. The first steps we must take is to get the word out to each and every state in the union that we have the tools in hand to put this country back on track again, and then keep it there.

The first and strongest of these tools is in Article V of the Constitution, the article concerning amendments to the Constitution. It reads, in part, “The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments” (Italics and underlining are mine for the purpose of getting your attention).

With this most powerful tool, “We The People” can and should get the states to call that convention! But before we do that we must have a plan in place, and here are some ideas for that plan;

We need to repeal the 16^th and 17^th amendments and replace them with practical measures. The first being returning the control of the individual Senators to their respective State Legislators, but limit their number of appointments and limit their stature in the scheme of things, i.e., their pay and privileges and control the costs of their office operations to within a reasonable budget.

The 16^th Amendment should be replaced wit a set and unchangeable amount of earnings tax that should be an across the board type tax that all would pay, no deductions, no exceptions, no ifs ands or buts. My idea is 10% that would be locked in and unchangeable.

Another Idea I have is to abolish all political parties thereby restricting any and all candidates to run on their own ideas and merits so that the individual voter could see just who it is that they are voting for.

Still another idea is to restrict any legislation to one topic and one topic only. That would effectively end the “backdoor legislative process” for good. No more hidden “Pork Barrel” projects for legislators. Everything would be out in the open for all to see.

The last idea that I have for now is to make all Federal Judges an elective position, this to include United States Supreme Court Justices, and restrict that body of the Judicial to ruling on matters of the Constitution only. This I believe would end the currant practice of “Legislating From The Bench” as it is now called.

These things can be accomplished by “We The People” if we become organized in each and every state, not as a new political party, but as a grassroots movement such as when the tax day tea parties were organized. We common folks are what make this nation great, not the intellectual elite or the great philosophers of our time nor the political elite that now reside in our nation’s capitol. “We The People” or we the common folks of these United States of America, we are the ones who get up every morning and go to our jobs to work and make a living to feed, house and clothe our families. We are the ones who don the uniforms of our several armed forces and go out in harms way for the protection of all the people of this nation, not the political elite.

What we need to do is not hard, not complicated at all. We just need to come together and get it done.

Our Government Designed Car Of The Future! Happy Motoring!

From “We The People” – An idea is forming.

What is now needed

 

I have been called impatient by some who I hold in high regard, for the simple reason that I want to use the tools that our founding fathers left in place for us – “We The People” – to use to keep this Republic that they founded on the right track.

We have let it jump the track and now we must use those tools to put it back on track, and not only that but to build safeguards to prevent it from ever wandering off track again.

They gave us the Amendment process. Not only that, they gave use the petition process as well. I believe that they did that for just the very reason we see what is happening today. Our government is out of control and speeding headlong into the biggest train wreck in the history of mankind!

It is up to “We The People” to stop it.

It has been said that we need a new form of government that will give individual freedoms the forward place that it belongs in. No we don’t. We do not need a new form of government. All we need to do is retake control of our present form of government, then reset the freedoms that were put into it in the first place.

I know, easier said than done. However it will be much easier and much simpler than discarding what we have and drawing up an entirely new form of government.

Think about that for a minute . . . How would we convince literally everyone in the world, let alone those in our country, that we need to dump the U.S. of A. into a junkyard and start all over again?

Isn’t that what Barack Hussein Obama meant when he said that the U.S. is the greatest country in the history of the world, so lets help him change it?

“We The People” do not want to change it, we just want it back the way it is supposed to be!

I do not believe that is too much to ask for or too much to achieve!

We can start by organizing petitioners in each and every state to get signatures of registered voters to demand that our states force the federal government to convene a constitutional congress with the express purpose of putting forth certain constitutional amendments to restrict where government gets its operating capital and how it can use that capital and to also return the Senators to the control of the individual states.

Once the above is accomplished – and do not get me wrong here, this may take a long while since we will be fought at every turn by the House and Senate who are now controlled by the political parties who do not want to give up their non-elected power – we can then start to reshape our government back into what it once was.

Remember that our government was originally intended to be controlled by the people and what it has morphed into is something that is demanding and getting more and more control over the people – THAT is where our individual freedoms have been slowly but surely stripped away over the past decades, and that is how we can put an end to that and return it to where it is supposed to be.

It is way past time to get up off our lazy butts and get organized and get things moving.

The longer we wait, the worse it will get – and before we know it, it will be . . . . .

A Day Of Gratitude

D-Day, June 6^th, 1944

This is the day that we Americans began the liberation of Europe from the Nazi’s.

This day I ask all who read this blog to give thanks to that generation that went forth and gave their lives to save the world from the evils of Fascism and Tyranny.

Look At What I Found Being Passed Around The Internet!!!!!!!

American capitalism gone with a whimper!

This was supposedly in a Russian Newspaper this weekend!

If this doesn’t get your anger up, then NOTHING WILL!

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters. Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.
