Governmental overreach. This is
something that the Constitution of the United States is supposed to
keep from happening. The Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to
that Constitution, were put into place to secure the most basic of
human rights and guarantee that they would not be taken from us by a
tyrannical government.
What has happened over many decades is
exactly what the Founding Fathers feared would happen and tried to
prevent. The elected officials of this great nation have become so
powerful, so embedded into the system, that they have no fear of
repercussions of their crimes against the country and the citizens of
the country. At one point these crimes were concealed from view,
committed discreetly behind closed doors. Today, it is open for all
to see but lied about and claimed to be committed by the opposition
party. This is done by BOTH of the major parties, not just one.
What is happening to make me say such
things? Open your eyes and see, my fellow Americans. A hundred and
fifty years ago we could hunt and fish without needing a
permit/license; we could build a shed, a barn, a house, without
permits or governmental oversight; we could start and run a business
without permits and taxes; we weren't taxed into poverty. Rules,
regulations, and laws that we, the people, are controlled by are the
sole responsibility of the Congress. It seems as though that has gone
by the wayside as agencies such as the EPA, DNR, Commerce Department,
etc. institute new rules and regulations on a daily basis without
Congressional debate, vote, or approval. Well, obviously they approve
but there are countless 'laws' on the books that Congress has not
debated or voted on. These are NOT laws. Only CONGRESS has the power
to legislate. Yet, here we are, forced to follow mandates, edicts,
rules, regulations, etc. that have not gone through the legislative
process.
Do we still have the right to free
speech, to worship as we please, to PEACEFULLY protest, and does the
honest press still have the right to report the truth? It seems that
these guaranteed rights only belong to those that follow the agenda
of the far-left. There are still over 500 people, American citizens,
that are being held in DC jails without bail or access to legal
counsel simply because they attended a Trump rally. They haven't even
been charged with a crime. They peacefully protested outside the
Capitol Complex. The rioters, looters, arsonists, and those that
committed assault on innocent bystanders and police, are still free.
Christianity has become ostracized and Islam is protected, and only
far-left agenda stories are allowed to be printed as proven by the
Hunter Biden laptop story being kept from the American people to
insure the installation of a mentally challenged geriatric into the
White House.
Do we still have the right to keep and
bear arms as is expressly guaranteed by the Second Amendment? There
were no constraints written into that amendment. None. It doesn't say
anything about only if you carry so many rounds, only if you aren't a
felon, only if you are a perfect citizen, only if it looks a certain
way. It says: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the
security of a free state,The right of the people to keep and bear
arms shall not be infringed.” This has become a big debate across
the nation. Why do people need guns when the police have them? Why do
you need 30 rounds to go deer hunting? Why do you need a scary
looking rifle? My answer to that is: why do you care? When the
Founders stated 'a well regulated Militia' you have to take into
account just WHO that Militia was at the time. It wasn't a government
owned and operated organization. It was the PEOPLE of the colonies
and the newly formed free country. That is why the last part of this
amendment is so important and why it is the most repeated: the right
of the PEOPLE... The Founders had just fought a war against a
tyrannical dominion and wanted to insure that it would not happened
again.
Do I want violent criminals to be able
to carry concealed weapons? Do I want terrorists to be able to do the
same? Let me ask you this: do you want one Constitutionally
guaranteed right limited for a false sense of security or do you want
to keep those rights protected for real liberty? It doesn't matter
how many laws are enacted. It doesn't matter that government and
police are armed to the teeth. Criminals don't care about laws.
Terrorists don't care about laws. Crime still happens; as does
terrorism. Chicago, the most anti-gun city in the country has the
most gun violence. Statistically, every city and state that has the
strictest gun laws are the most violent. Why is that? Maybe because
the people aren't allowed to protect themselves and the police are
hamstrung because of leftist rules and anti-law enforcement rhetoric.
How about protection from illegal
search and seizure? Writ of habeus corpus? The right to legal
counsel? Better yet: how about the rule of law? In most criminal
cases there is a crime with, or without, a known perpetrator. In the
case of Donald J Trump, and a lot of his followers, the government
has a ton of perpetrators without a crime. Our elected officials are
desperately searching for something, anything, to charge Donald Trump
with. They tried Russian collusion and only found that it was the
Clinton campaign, the DNC, and, possibly, Hilary Clinton, herself,
that were the perpetrators. They impeached Trump twice just to find
that he was innocent of all charges. I know, the left will swear that
he was guilty and was let go but that isn't what happened. Has Trump
been allowed equal protection under the law? Has he been presumed
innocent until proven guilty? Not by a long shot! The left and the
rest of those career politicians that are at risk of losing their
power and wealth have gone after him with a vengeance. Only one other
American President was persecuted to this extent and that pales in
comparison.
Trump supporters, MAGA people,
patriotic Americans that believe in the Constitution and our rights
and freedoms have been declared domestic terrorists by the POTUS, a
man whose own son sold access to for our enemies and other foreign
powers. Joseph R Biden, Jr has proven over and over, since 21 Jan.
2021 that he has no interest in America. He shut down the Keystone XL
Pipeline almost before the inauguration was over. He opened the
southern border to millions of illegals to enter unencumbered. He has
destroyed our economy. Where Trump had made us energy independent,
Biden has put us back under the thumb of OPEC, our enemies. The list
goes on but the gist of it is that the one person that had made
America great again, has been persecuted while those that are doing
the persecution are the ones actually destroying our country.
The far-left scream daily how
conservatives, the MAGA people, and Republicans (if there were any
actual Republicans) are destroying our 'democracy.' Hate to tell you
but this country is not, nor ever has been, a democracy. Democracies
fail, miserably just as Socialism and Communism do. We are a
Constitutional Republic. Our representatives are democratically
elected by popular vote. Our President is elected by the Electoral
College which ensures that the WHOLE of the nation, not just a small,
highly populated area is represented. Our 'democracy' is in no way
being destroyed or in any danger of being destroyed by the
conservatives and patriotic Americans that believe in the
Constitution, as written and intended, and the Bill of Rights.
As I've stated, our rights and freedoms
are being taken away, little by little, by people that are not
elected and are not hurt in any way by their decisions. Even
Congress has no vested interest in the laws they enact. They aren't
forced to use ObamaCare, they have their own healthcare provided by
the taxpayers. They don't care whether there is any social security
left in the Treasury, they have their own retirement paid for by the
taxpayer. They really don't care what kind of violence they incite by
their speeches because they are protected by their position. They
build their walls around their homes and the Capitol Complex to
protect themselves yet leave the southern border wide open leaving
we, the people, powerless to protect ourselves.
Think about this, while Congress is
saying that it is the humanitarian thing to do to let all these
illegals in and let them go where they may because they are such
great assets to our country, when they end up in the midst of the
elite, as Ron DeSantis made sure by sending 50 to Martha's Vineyard,
those illegals become problems and can't be taken care of. Only the
'Red States,' the conservative centers, are able to handle the
millions of invaders. Nancy Pelosi had several arrested that breached
the walls around her home. No, the elites don't care one iota about
the people.
The Founders knew that this would be
attempted and did everything they could to prevent it. The
Constitution was written as it was because of months of debate and
public opinion. The newly formed nation wanted to make sure that
they, and future generations, weren't subjected to the tyranny that
they had been under the rule of King George. Now, because of decades
of indoctrination and anti-American rhetoric in our government run
schools, we elect that tyranny into office and keep it there. We vote
to have our rights and freedoms taken away from us. We allow the
Constitution to be shredded on a daily basis and used as a weapon
against us.
The Constitution of the United States
was written to protect the CITIZENS of the United States. It was
never intended to protect illegals, foreign terrorists, foreign
nations, etc. It is BY, FOR, and OF the People of the United States.
Because of our complacency and lack of knowledge and understanding of
our founding documents, we have allowed a tyrannical dominion to
overtake our land. The sad part is that there are millions of
citizens that believe in the tyranny, that support the tyranny, and
embrace the tyranny. Why? Because they have been indoctrinated into
believing that only government knows best how we should live our
lives.
Hitler did not invade Austria. He was
ELECTED into office. It took the Austrians five years to actually see
what kind of monster the man was. Once the damage is done, it is
almost impossible to repair. Can Venezuela regain its wealth and
prosperity? It will take decades, if not centuries to do so. How
about North Korea? Vietnam? China? Russia? Can the millions of
citizens of those countries that were murdered come back? The
millions of Jews and Germans that Hitler slaughtered simply because
of their heritage, their religion, their belief in freedoms, can
never be brought back. Socialism is the first step to Communism.
Communism is tyranny and complete government control. If you think
that American socialism will be any different than any other time in
history because Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can 'do it right,' then you,
my friend, are completely indoctrinated and fully brainwashed. There
is no 'right' way to do socialism. It always becomes tyranny with
death, destruction, and chaos. You can vote it in but you have to
fight your way out. Ask any Venezuelan. Ask an Austrian that survived
Hitler. Ask any Chinese that survived Mao. Talk to any Russian
immigrant that grew up under the Soviet Union's rule. There are still
people out there that know what happens. All you have to do is ask.
I have talked with WWII survivors from
Germany. I have talked to Koreans. I have talked to Russians that
grew up in Soviet Russia. I have talked to people from El Salvador,
Guatemala, Palestine, Israel. I have studied history, true history,
of the Soviet Revolution, American Revolution, Custer's last stand,
the Trail of Tears, the Vietnam Conflict, the Korean Police Action.
There is never a completely good guy and a completely bad guy. There
are only the two sides of the equation. The good, the bad, and the
indifferent are all co-conspirators in a battle for power. Was the
American government the good, or bad, guy while taking the land from
the Indians? Was Custer on the right side or were the Indians? Who
were the righteous ones in Vietnam and Korea?
The American government has singularly
decided, over many decades, just who is right and who is wrong
throughout the world. Was Hitler bad? He was a murderous maniac. Was
Mao just trying to unify his country? Were the white Europeans really
just trying to help the red Indians become 'civilized' and have a
better life? It's all up for a long debate over a bottle of Scotch.
That is unless you are a conspiracy theorist that believes there is a
secret society that actually runs the governments of the world,
controls the world monetary system, incites wars and decides who will
win and who will lose.
Our rights, guaranteed, not granted, by
the Constitution are fast diminishing. A hundred and fifty years ago
there were no restrictions on how we lived, what we did to survive,
support, and protect our families. Today, everything we do is taxed,
regulated, controlled, permitted, etc. by the government. Who,
exactly, gave the government this power over us? Who said, “OK, big
government, I want you to make me buy a permit to hunt and fish so
that you can profit off my family's survival?” Who said, “OK, big
government, I want you to tell me how to build my home?” Who said,
“OK, big government, I want you to regulate everything I do?”
It wasn't any red-blooded, patriotic
American citizen now was it? Yes, it was. Every person who has been
eligible to vote in the last 150 years is guilty. But... but....
but... I wasn't even alive that long ago! It wasn't me that did that!
Yes, it was. Not then, but now. When was the last time an American
citizen, either Democrat or Republican, voted against an incumbent?
It doesn't matter if it is the President of the United States or the
dog catcher of your home town? When was the last time you researched
the voting record of your US Congressman or even your State
Legislator? Do you even know what they voted for or against? Or, do
you, as as proud, responsible, dedicated Democrat/Republican just
vote “D” or “R” or just against someone you don't like or
vote for because of the color of their skin?
Oh, yeah! I went there. How many people
voted for Barack Hussein Obama simply because he was multi-racial?
Far too many. I've talked to plenty of black folks that said they
voted for him because he is black. They didn't care what he
campaigned on, what he promised to do, what he did... no, all they
cared about was that he was black. Oprah Winfrey, god bless her
little pea-pickin' heart, never openly supported any candidate until
Barry Sotoero. Why? She supported him because he is 'black.' Barry is
half white. His mother is/was (I don't know if she is still alive or
not) white. His father was a Kenyon, a foreign national. That makes
Barry multi-racial, not black.
To go further into this: Barry enlisted
into college as a FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT in at least one college.
To all you Obama supporters, I don't recall where I saw it but I
believe it was found out by our favorite Arizona sheriff. Barry,
also, never legally changed his name to Barack Hussein Obama after he
decided that Barry Sotoero wasn't African enough. His mentors were,
as was his father, anti-American Muslims. Do you remember when he
stood at the podium and said, “If you attack one Muslim, you attack
all Muslims?” How about- if you attack one American you attack all
Americans? Barry Sotoero was the greatest farce perpetrated on the
American people, until Joe Biden.
Barry destroyed more of our rights and
freedoms, blatantly put targets on the backs of law enforcement,
incited racism to a point far exceeding that of the 1950's and 60's,
weakened America's military, embraced our enemies and spat in the
face of our allies, bowed to a foreign power, aided and abetted our
enemies by giving Iran billions in cash and weapons, and most
heinously, embedded Islamic terrorists into American society in the
guise of refugees and gave them citizenship so they could run for
political office, which they have.
This is just one example of how we, the
people, are guilty of allowing the destruction of the Constitution
and our rights and freedoms. We have voted for, not against,
corruption by re-electing incumbents regardless of what they've done,
or not done. By pushing the “D” or “R” without researching
what each candidate really stands for, we are guilty. By voting for
the other guy because Orange Man Bad, we are guilty. By continuing to
vote for representatives simply because we already know what they are
and know nothing about the new guy, we are allowing bills to be
passed with so much pork, add-ons, and things that wouldn't make it
through the process without putting it in something that is needed.
Not holding our representatives accountable to our wishes is the
greatest crime.
The taxpayers of this country spend
trillions of dollars on foreign nations, frivolous projects, etc. and
we don't even know anything about it. Why? Because those bills are
thousands of pages long, written in Congressional legalese so as not
to be easily understood. All we know is what they want us to know
about those bills. And, sometimes, what we're told isn't even a
fraction of what the whole bill is about. Yet, we keep voting for the
corruption, the deception, the loss of our rights and freedoms, and
our own enslavement to the system. All the while, those elected
elites live high off the hog, unencumbered by the very laws they pass
to enslave us. All at the expense of us, the American taxpayer. It's
so easy to spend other people's money and take away what they don't
even know they have.
Time to wake up, America. Time to start
the reconstruction of the greatest nation on the planet. Time to get
rid of the corruption and deception. Time to get rid of career
politicians and replace them with people that can be held
accountable. Time for those career criminals to be brought to
justice. How about treating them the way those 500+ patriots have
been treated for almost two years in DC jails? Held without bail,
access to legal counsel, or accused of a crime. Just because those
elected officials are just that, it doesn't mean they are better than
the rest of us. In fact, you have to understand that they are OUR
employees. We pay them to represent OUR wants, needs, and wishes; not
their own power and wealth. They are nothing but public servants and
we, the people, are their rightful masters. When the country finally
gets that through its head, then, and only then, will we become what
the Founders created.
I know that I sound like a record that
keeps repeating itself. I have found over the years that repetition
is the only way to get people to understand anything. The far-left
understands this. That is why, day after day, all day long, for over
four years you heard Orange Man Bad, Donald Trump is a criminal, we
need to impeach DJT, and Trump Derangement Syndrome was pushed down
our throats. They know that if they repeat something enough the
country will believe it, understand it, and never forget it. Even
now, two years after he left office, the left is still doing it. They
are still persecuting Trump and the indoctrinated believe in them. It
is still being pushed down our throats that Orange Man Bad. Why? My
opinion? Because he is the only person that actually stood up to them
and brought their corruption into the light. Not just of the left but
of the right, also.
Yes, I said it. There are plenty of
so-called Republicans that are just as corrupt. Mitch McConnell is
one of them. Did you know that his in-laws own the major shipping
company in China? Yep! That shipping company is basically owned by
the Communist Chinese government. How long has that geriatric been in
office? He has so much power over the people of Kentucky that he
doesn't have to worry about not getting re-elected. He'll just buy
the office as he's done over the past few election cycles. After all,
the Chinese need to control our representatives and he is one of the
most powerful. Way to go, Kentucky! Keep voting that compromised
asshole into office.
There are a handful, a small handful,
of people in Congress that actually want what is right for America
and Americans. You could probably count them on one hand with fingers
left over. Josh Hawley, Jim Jordan, and Dan Crenshaw come to mind.
Trey Gowdy was good when he was in his investigations but as a
Representative he was a little wishy-washy. Lindsay Graham is the
same. He goes whichever way is best for him. How about Iowa's Chuck
Grassley? He puts on a good show and works hard for Iowa but, when it
comes to what is best for the nation, well, his record isn't exactly
untarnished.
There are even a few Democrats that
work for the good of the country. Tulsi Gabbard, and Joe Manchin are
a couple of them. Yes, they are liberal but not to the extent of the
far-left radicals. I would have no problem voting for either of them
if the Republican candidate showed signs of extremism, either left or
right. Moderate is where a candidate has to be. My representative has
to know what is best for the country, not just my state, but not go
overboard on any legislation. Gabbard and Manchin do that. Yes, they
vote liberal but also know when to go against Nancy & Co. and
their anti-American policies.
Do you see what I'm trying to get
across? Research the candidates. Know how they vote. Get an
understanding of where they are politically, socially, economically.
If they aren't pro-America, they shouldn't be elected to office. When
that happens we get people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar,
Rashida Tlaib, Aiyanna Pressely, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Cory
Booker, Adam Schitt, etc. What's worse, we end up with a Commander in
Chief like what was installed on Jan 21, 2021.
You have to remember that these people
believe that they are above us, the common folk, the citizens. They
are not! They need to be reminded of that every two/six years. There
should never be a political race that isn't up for grabs to the best
candidate. Incumbents become powerful. Power corrupts and absolute
power corrupts absolutely. That is sorely evident in our Congress
today. Too many have been there far too long and become far too
powerful.
I believe I have rambled long enough. I
tend to repeat myself far too much and get off topic far too easily.
That is why I titled my blog Rants and Ravings from a Twisted Mind.
My beliefs are out there and vocalized often. I am a Constitutional
Conservative with Libertarian tendencies. I do my best to think for
myself and not go along with the mob. I have changed my mind on a few
subjects after debating with others but it is not as often as they
would like. All you have to do is prove to me that my way of thinking
is wrong. Most cannot do it. As Andrew Wilkow likes to say, “The
arguments on this show cannot be broken.”
