Precious Freedom

Yes, “Maybe someone will call for…” was a specific quote by Massimo Granellini, a reporter for an Italian newspaper regarding Barack Hussein (yes, it’s now okay to use that Arabic middle name since he has decided to use it in his swearing-in ceremony) Obama and the fact that the luster is already wearing thin on the people of Europe and the Middle East. The Iranians are already burning BHO in effigy saying that because he didn’t side with Hamas in the current Israeli/Hamas conflict that he should be killed. (What else is new? This happens with every president being installed when it comes to foreign countries burning them in effigy. But this is their Muslim “brother” as they think of him so why would they burn him in effigy? Because he didn’t come out and choose their side of the Fatwa and say that he doesn’t believe Israel should be able to exist. Besides, if Obama gets into the mix before his inauguration, he could be subject to the Logan Act which prohibits any private citizen from meddling in state affairs and attempting to circumvent or privately negotiate same on personal ambitions which Obama essentially did when he visited Iraq and tried to get the Iraqi president to delay withdrawal negotiations so that he could take credit for it).

Europeans wholeheartedly supported Obama as their pick for our country’s next presidential candidate, but they are already becoming disenamored with him because of his pre-election admission that he will NOT be able to deliver on all his promises. (What else is new? Presidential candidates in this country have always promised more than they could ever hope to deliver and the undying love for Obama will fade just as it has for every other president at some point and we, as conservatives, can only hope that undying love fades quickly.)

Some of the things we should be VERY concerned about, however, include H. J.Res 5, a resolution to do away with the 22nd amendment of the US Constitution which imposes a two-term limitation on all presidents in this country because the NY congressman who introduced it wants Obama to be able to be “president for life” should he choose to (all hail King Obama). This is a very bad precedent because it opens our country up to inherited rule (i.e., the same kind of rule in Cuba where Castro hand-picked his brother to succeed him or Hugo Chavez who has already hand-picked his successor, or even Kim Jong Il who has hand-picked his son to be his successor). We founded this country on two principle reasons: religious freedom and not having “kings” to rule for lifetimes.

There is also HJ Res 14 which threatens to reduce our Constitutional rights further by eliminating any term limits on members of the House of Representatives and Senate, essentially giving them the ability to be rulers for lifetimes, despite what any state statutes may dictate. They want to do this by essentially giving their members a “1 year” hiatus between term eligibilities – and this, in and of itself, would be allowing them to basically rule for lifetimes.

In addition, here is a website listing all of the Socialistic programs that Congress is trying to get past us without us knowing about what’s going on. Talk about “transparency” – NOT! Oh, and on that transparency issue – Obama’s proposal says that Congress would only have to allow it to be posted on a government website for 5 days AFTER it has already been passed and not before when the constituency (you and I) would be able to talk to our congressmen to tell them whether we think they should support a particular bill or not!.

The other big thing that is on the plate for which we should all be vigilent is the fact that we are only two states away from having a Constitutional Convention called. “What is this”, you ask? It is the calling of states’ representatives (as identified by each states’ legislators, chosen by their state houses/senates) to meet in Washington or Philadelphia, or some other such location, to re-work the US Constitution. Ohio will shortly be calling a vote on whether to request the ConCon themselves and then that would leave only one state to so request. The reason this is so critical is because it takes only 34 states to call for a “ConCon”. The last one was in 1787 when the Bill of Rights was adopted, protecting the citizenry from the government. What’s the harm? How about adding dozens of new amendments making same sex legal, any form of abortion legal (regardless of the term of pregnancy), doing away with presidential term limits, or (most importantly) doing away with the private citizen’s right to keep and bear arms? Even though several of the states have withdrawn their request for a Constitutional Convention, there is no provision within the Constitution itself to accept those withdrawals of request. In other words, you can request, but you can’t revoke the request. That is, admittedly, a flaw within our Constitution. And how about Mr. Obama’s pledge to re-write the Bill of Rights, made just this past weekend on Saturday when starting his whistle stop tour from Philly to DC?

Our country is so very close to implosion from accepting Socialist views and “one world government” philosophies that we are about to lose our individual identy. We could potentially no longer even be a country within the next 10 years if the plans of Marxist Socialist ideals such as that which Mr. Obama represents (read his book Dreams From My Father to see the proof of his Marxist leanings), and the supression of free speech which is already rapidly occurring throughout our secondary education system (and now in our high schools – see article in Dayton Press about the Mason High School principal revoking the ability of any student to say anything at all negative about Mr. Obama) that the death of our country is a real and present danger.

Will Mr. Obama be impeached? Not likely by our US Senate, but very likely he will be impeached by the rest of the world – and sooner than he thinks.
