In a direct violation of the soon-to-come laws preventing any public dissent of the "United Socialist States' government," I would like to announce that our leaders have become nothing short of corrupted. They are what the Constitution sought to eliminate: weak, greedy and arrogant elitists who have no regard for anyone but those of their own party and ideals.
I am not the only one who has come to this conclusion. To judge by the tea parties, letters, speeches, shows, and every other form of personal interaction among constitutional Americans, the vast majority of citizens is disgusted with 'healthcare overhaul' and the rest of the socialist extensions by the government. What is happening in this country is the rule of the majority by a minority, and in a democracy this is unacceptable. "We the people" are both our leaders and our policy-makers, and the only way for us to properly govern ourselves is for the largest group to rule. When that situation is tampered with by anyone, Democratic, Republican or Libertarian, freedom ceases to exist and tyranny is established. Yes, tyranny, that situation from which America's founders ran from and hated, and which should be reason enough to avoid it at all costs.
Yet at this point, there is increasing evidence that what we want is of no consequence compared to what those who are willing to pay want. Earmarks used to be a "guilty pleasure" of sorts for lawmakers, allowing them to get free government cash for their pet projects, but they became a terrible weapon in the hands of Harry Reid as he bought votes to push forward a health care bill that violates countless constitutional provisions, among these "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." Is it not painfully clear that what happened during the health debate was bribery? And as such, why is this man and all those who cooperated with him not impeached immediately?
The truth hurts: Our government's state is a corrupted, unconstitutional disgrace, and those in it now will not fix it by getting rid of its blatant criminals but rather do as much damage as they united possibly can.
This has to end. Lest the great country of America dissolves into a totally insignificant nation, stand up! In protest meetings and letters to constitutional violators, our voices may be censored by illegal government actions but that does not stop them from getting our message: We refuse to allow those who believe in a fairy tale world, where everyone gets along, willingly shares all they have, works as hard as possible, and disregards ethics, to run America into the ground.
This nation is a guiding light to the rest of the world, showing it the glory that a united and free country can accomplish, and destroying the communistic assumption that freedom is only an inconvenient truth that must be conquered in order for the race to prosper. We are hated by so many other oppressed nations for the hope we show their people, and the striving for a better life that it brings.
It is not too late to save America and its role as a leader; the right to vote (and remove the corrupted) is still unmolested, and we can tell our representatives exactly what we expect of them via numerous means. For too long we've been content to sit back and watch as our rights are traded for free handouts; it's time to throw away this cursed money and reclaim the glory and freedom that American stands for, by stopping the march of socialism and the corruption that it brings.

And Kenneth Parrott, just grow up.
Perhaps you mistake my intent, though. Tanko absolutely has a right to speak his mind. And I have the right to disagree (as do you!).
But at least I can get amusement out of it all.
You belong in Berkley, not Cobb county
If the Sedition Act hadn't been overturned, I'd be glad to appear. It's the Smith Act that some need to be concerned about.
Weasel? Now, that's just libelous.
Your way of thinking goes back to the election of 1800 where John Adams ( Federalist ) became president, and Thomas Jefferson ( Democrat-Republican party ) became vice president ( the second place finisher became vice president by law ).
The Federalist were so unhappy about Jefferson, their newspapers proclaimed that the election of Jefferson would cause the teaching of "murder, rape, robbery, incest, adultery and incest ".
So, your chicken little tirades and lack of faith in the democratic process is nothing new. Again, there are three branches of government that make, execute and interpret the laws, and I have faith at any point in time in two of them doing the right thing.
sheesh people. get a life!
One need only look at the credit default swap fiasco and its relationship to the collapse of the housing bubble and the current recession to see the absolute greed of the "princes of industry."
You seethe with the very things you hold as offensive, and belch the words of Beck, Hannity and other right wing nuts.
You couldn't name an erosion of a constitutional right or freedom wrought under Obama or the Dem's ( or Republicans for that matter ). Remember,the ultimate arbiter of the laws that congress makes, and Obama executes is the Supreme Court, which btw was stacked by the right wing....so Indian Joe, go back to your daily Fox programming.
"...too quickly we will lose our rights to assembly and to bear arms."
"...soon-to-come laws preventing any public dissent..."
"...health care bill that violates countless constitutional provisions..."
Wow, sounds more like someone has overdosed on Glenn Beck. I'm fine with questioning and complaining about the government (that's healthy), but the language used here is seditious, at best.
We do need to seriously consider what we can do to begin to rescue our nation from the dismal present and disastrous future. However, unlike some of your critics, I think we need to work at it diligently and continuously and not just complain.
Your well justified frustration shows and maybe it will spread even to the "what's in it for me crowd."
You say, let the largest group rule..who would that be?,mob rule?..don't forget that our constitution was written to protect minorities and their rights, so as not to be trampled....maybe Palin or one of your teabagging candidates will do better next time and save the planet.
