In his own words…

With this statement today, the President outlined the moral argument regarding the debt ceiling debate, in fact succinctly explained his philosophy on the Constitution and Capitalism:
“… I will not accept, a deal in which I am asked to do nothing, in fact, I’m able to keep hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional income that I don’t need, while a parent out there who is struggling to figure out how to send their kid to college suddenly finds that they’ve got a couple thousand dollars less in grants or student loans.” <http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/07/11/press-conference-president>
In this uniquely un-American and inherently immoral philosophy, you and I are required to live for everyone else; it is the role government to determine what each ‘subject’ has in surplus… and that surplus is public domain.
His words, not mine. God help us.
“We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.”
-Ayn Rand

“That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.” The Declaration of Independence. I believe we are at the point where the necessity to alter and abolish will soon come to pass.

What happened to the days when people actually worked for what they wanted or needed? Are the days of honor, pride and self respect becoming “The good old days”?

I challenged a seat belt ticket a few days ago, and the judge told me frankly that my rights come second to the state’s compelling interest. He pointed out that my study of the constitution was correct, but it didn.t matter. The constitution was abandoned long ago. It’s time to fight.
