Just take this last item: In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation's history.
Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane. 
27 times faster, it would be doing 7,555 MPH!

THE PRESIDENCY
 
SOME WILL APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME WILL NOT.
HOWEVER, ALL OF IT IS TRUE.  
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 24 months -- so you'll have one year and ten months to come up with an answer.
Every statement in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

ATF wants to ban your shotguns

Imagine that. The constitution once again under attack by our government. Wake up America!

According to an article I just read at The blaze.com  http://www.theblaze.com/stories/could-your-shotgun-soon-be-outlawed/
The Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments t...Image via Wikipedia
I see that our Marxist n Chief wants to violate the 2nd amendment constitutional rights by using the ATF.  Now anyone who has read the constitution and what our founders have said about it know full well what it means. Now these Marxists are trying to ban certain guns under the pretense that they serve no sporting use. Anyone with an IQ equal too or greater than their shoe size know that guns for "sport" were not the reason for the second amendment.





The simple facts

  • The second amendment guarantees the right of the people to keep and bear arms without interference by the federal government. The founders believed it was an unalienable right to protect your life, liberty, and property.  
  • The founding fathers knew from history that when a government wanted to take away the peoples liberty and property they always tried to disarm them first.  
  • Under Title 10, section 31 of the US. Code, the militia of each state includes, "all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and under 45 years of age who are or have (made) a declaration of intent to become citizens."
  • S Adams:  "The said constitution shall never be construed to authorize congress to ... prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." 
  • Henry: " The great object is that every man be armed...  Everyone who is able may have a gun."
If you just remember one thing let it be this. This administration has done more damage to our constitution and our rights in just a little over 2 years than the last 25 combined. What do you think will happen if we don't remove this despotic regime in 2012? We desperately need someone with uncompromising integrity to take over for this, the worst administration of the century.

Just sayn..............

More government unconstitutional intrusion

Here we go again, more big brother nanny state rules and regulations being forced on the people. I’m reading in the Arizona Republic todayhttp://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2011/04/17/20110417federal-menu-labeling-standard-restaurants-obesity.html#ixzz1JqLqClHv
 about this unconstitutional new law that states chain restaurants will be forced to disclose the fat, sodium, and calories for all their meals. First of all this is not the federal governments job to be doing. Maybe the states can do something like this but certainly not the federal government.

Then I read the really unconstitutional thing. The FDA is going to be writing the requirements. Now I’m looking at article 1 section 1 paragraph 1 of the constitution and I don’t see anywhere in there that the FDA has any authority at all to be making law. It basically states that ALL lawmaking power is in the CONGRESS.  The FDA is once again violating our most basic rights of representation. We don’t get to vote for the FDA so they are completely unaccountable to us.

Then as I read further I find out that this was snuck in through the unconstitutional health care bill. Nothing about this is legal. These government mental midgets can’t even make it past the very first article of the constitution before they violate it. I just hope the people of Iowa confront their Sen. Tom Harkin for hiding this in the 3,000 page healthcare bill and hold him accountable for hiding an unconstitutional law within a unconstitutional law. He truly is not fit to serve in the senate. He violated his oath to uphold the constitution twice in one bill. I wonder how many other times he’s done something like this.

Congressman that are not lazy spineless jellyfish could stop this with using article 1 section 9 paragraph 7. Just don't appropriate the money for the FDA to write the rules and regulations or enforce them. Starve the FDA to death. Force them to stop regulating businesses out of business.
