Obama To Sue Over Arizona Immigration Law?


Obama To Sue Over Arizona Immigration Law?
Obama Regime Pushing States Toward The Unthinkable
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
*****************

The American left wing's sainted Secretary of State, Mrs. Bill Clinton, reportedly allowed, on Ecuadorian TV, as to how the Obama Regime intends to sue the state of Arizona over Arizona’s new immigration law. Even with the, oh, so “transparent” Obama Regime, the governor of Arizona had to learn this from a news report on TV! Is she angry? You bet your sweet bippy she is!


Look, the United States of America is, today, united in name only! If we have not as a nation divided into two camps, every bit as stark as the states just prior to the American War Between the States, then we are sure as heck approaching that condition.


The Confederate States seceded because they could not abide a growing central government dictating to sovereign states what they would and would not be allowed to do. They believed, so much, in the original constitution of the Founding Fathers that they copied it as the Constitution of the Confederacy. Google the Confederate Constitution and read it for yourselves. You will note a few changes, such as a single 6-year term for the President, but by and large, it is the original US Constitution.


We are living history today. We are watching our country break apart, a little at a time, and the root cause is the imposition of a central government, controlled by Socialist, Progressives, Marxists, Statists, Liberals, and even the odd Maoist thrown in here and there, which is drunk on power and lusting for even more.


Americans are losing their hard won freedom little by little as the Obama Regime takes advantage of every crisis, real or imagined, or just plain manufactured to instill fear in Americans that their only salvation is in falling at the feet of Obama, and his minions, and worshiping by sacrificing their freedom and swearing fealty to the current socialist regime which is, every day it seems, simply assuming the powers of an American dictatorship.


I have news for the socialists in charge of our government. Their orgy of power will end, and end very soon, or they will have only a part of the existing states to run rampant over with their atrocious acts of barbarism and vandalism aimed at the few freedoms the American citizens have left.


As much as the federal government likes to believe, and delude others into believing the states are not sovereign entities, they are WRONG!


Arizona, a former member of the Confederacy, WAS, and REMAINS, a sovereign state. The federal government CANNOT impose its will on the people of that state -- unless the Arizonans willingly accept it.


One of the extremely important facts about this country the democrats choose not to remember is that 11 states, and parts of two other states, are a part of the US ONLY BECAUSE THEY WERE FORCED, AT THE POINT OF A FEDERAL GOVERENMENT BAYONET, TO REJOIN THE UNION!


Revisionist history does not teach our students the horrible injustices done those former Confederate states after the war under the guise of “Reconstruction.”


If you want to know what an all powerful, vengeful, federal government can do to its own subjugated citizen, do a little research on the south for roughly seven to ten years after the war. You will be horrified.


I include these remarks about the so-called American Civil War and Reconstruction as a warning. Unless our government returns to governing as a constitutional republic, as much as I hate to consider it, Americans will be at each other’s throats.


History does repeat itself. The Obama Regime is making many of the same mistakes the Lincoln administration made. It is alienating its citizens.


The American people, as a whole, have a very long fuse, and we remind the federal government that at the end of that fuse lies an obstinate, stubborn, freedom loving people who have no intention of giving up their sacred freedom by lying down and rolling over for some would-be tin pot dictator and his flunkies in OUR nation’s capitol.


May God have mercy on America because there is a backlash, of biblical proportions, building today and it could explode at any moment.

The Curse Of A Strong Central Government (Updated)


The Curse Of A Strong Central Government (Updated)
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
*******************************************


A strong central government is a nightmare to freedom lovers everywhere, especially here in the United States. The Nightmare has become real, in the US, since President Abraham Lincoln tossed out the Constitution. We have never been able to recover the government our forefathers, the framers of the Constitution, intended.

The Founders and Framers foresaw a limited government subject to the States. Today it is exactly the opposite. Now the states are subject to the federal government. In other words the creation of the States… namely, the Federal Government has become a “Frankenstein” of sorts. This was NOT what the founders and framers intended. Not by a long shot.

Look at the ruling by the Supreme Court, a while back, that medical marijuana use is illegal… even though eleven states have passed laws saying it was legal, in their states, for a doctor to write a prescription for a patient to use marijuana to relieve his, or her pain, on any number of other ailments.

This is raw power. And it is dangerous… dangerous in the extreme.

One of the real shortcomings of this country is its inability to study its past history and learn from its former mistakes. Even our public schools teach so little history, I’m talking about American History now, that the graduates, those schools turn out, are virtually ignorant of their country, and the rights they are granted under the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. As a result, rulings similar to the one, recently, on medical marijuana, is easily passed by a Supreme Court which is obviously out of control and needs to be reined in by the Congress.

Problem is… the Congress is out of control, too. They are handing down laws, which curtail our constitutional freedoms because “the people” are clamoring for security. Sorry, folks, but I don’t hear that clamor! I believe it is imaginary. A figment of minds so used to power they will grasp every chance to expand their controlling reach into our society.

Can we stop it? Can we bring citizen control back to our government? Not in our lifetimes or that of our children. We cannot even begin until we stiffen the spines of the American people. That will not be easy. The Leftist Media is continually feeding their readers the idea that they, as citizens, are helpless and their only hope is in government. And that, Dear Reader, is exactly what got us into this mess in the first place!

Those of us who believe in the original Constitution must be able to reach the populace with this message of truth. Those who would oppose us with their dying breath control the conventional means of communications, in the US.

So, we have gone to the Internet. Soon the Internet will be under attack by the Federal Government. They seek to control our speech out here in cyber space. Their actions smack of fear -- raw fear of losing control. You see, if they don’t control us… we might speak the truth. Christ Himself said, “Ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free!” Therein lies the problem for our strong central government… the simple truth.

But we have to stand up like the sons and daughters of heroes that we are! Bound together by the common goal of Freedom, we can once again break the bonds of a strong central government and the power it has over our everyday lives. It may take decades. It may take a century, or two, but if we remain in the fight, we can win. But… that is the only way. It will take all of us, in the harness, pulling together to put our Republic back together again. Slackers need not apply.

Here’s something one of our founders and framers, John Adams, said:

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

Mr. Adams sums it up nicely.

We must not tarry. The goal is much too important. Our liberty, our freedom regained. That smoldering ember, down deep in your soul, is calling to you to answer the growing thirst for freedom again.

In November we have the Mid-Term election. This will be an opportunity to let your voice be heard loudly proclaiming that you want your birthright of freedom returned. Tell the government loudly and clearly that we choose liberty over security. We choose our freedom. As an American, it is our right!
