Change, Change & Change

CHANGE, CHANGE & CHANGE THAT IS NECESSARY & THE NECESSARY CHANGE!

If, as a citizen of this still great Country, it is not apparent to you by now (you must be half-dead) what the Marxists/Socialist course our government expansion road it is on, it is absolutely frightening. And, all this is knowingly and intentionally orchestrated by the three Marxist dwarfs, Obama, Pelosi and Reid and the other far left Congressional Liberals who are forcefully directing our Country on the road to a sweeping Marxist movement.

These often ill-advised and totally flawed Liberal electoral governmental legislative body do-gooders despise entrepreneurialism above all else, unless of course it is good for their own personal pocketbook (this has been manifested by the likes of Al Gore). Should we hate them?? NO, but we should despise their mistaken and totally misguided mental acuity and their cowardly aims at social reform.

I hope, I even beseech, that by now you must be aware that there are only a few things that are obtainable to right minded Americans and these are absolutely mandatory to bring about the change that is necessary to defeat these insane revolutionary transformations being perpetuate upon us, we the citizens of the U.S.A.

Conservatism is far, far too important to leave it to the present Republican Party leaders of their leadership or supervisorial direction. They are nice people but are mostly ineffectual to real conservative ideals and far too i-political). We need to be our own watchdog to enact our correct conservative movement principles. 

No I’m not crazy, nor should I be considered a politically partisan. I am far from political; I am just a staunch conservative. I am so very, very concerned about what we are leaving to our grandchildren and their descendants. I am still confident that like-minded people (Democrats as well as Republicans) will stand up and do the right thing for this Country at the ballot box.

The answer is to prevent all these Marxist Liberals, now in power and their proclivity to liberal change, we must get started on the conservative changes and this to be managed and administered by the superior intellect of the Conservative movement mentors.

We, the members of the Conservative movement will have to become more forceful in the managerial direction of the RNC (Republican National Committee). And this must be followed strongly by changing the conduct of the more patsy Republicans who now represent so many of us in both houses of Congress. The large majority of these elected officials (on both sides of the aisle) has never been in the private sector and as such has never had to meet a payroll. How can we rely on anyone of them to establish, write, administer and oversee our laws and control the spending of our tax money? 

You must remember and be sure that each Republican nominee knows and completely understands that they are only “temporary stewards of the Country” and as such they must be held, feet to the fire, to the conservative standards throughout their tenure.

One of the more important issues for government medaling in the private sector is when Government applies pressure and coercion which takes the place of competition, and the ultimate result is always and continuously less choice at higher costs.

These changes are not going to be easy and they can’t be done over night but they must be put into some form of numeral priorities and should not be out of our sight and minds for any length of time.  

By the way, and don’t forget this extremely important point, the correct way to talk about or refer to the Democrat Party (which is how it is registered) is this – “They are the party of the Democrats” or “the Democrat Party”. They are NOT the Democratic* Party.

[*Democratic: An adjective: of, relating to, or supporting democracy or its principles : democratic reforms | democratic government / favoring or characterized by social equality; egalitarian]  

As can be seen from the above American dictionary terminology they are not, nor do they act democratic in any manner, way, shape or form! So, now be sure you don’t make the major blunder or faux pas of referring to them as democratic. Democratic they are Not!

The first of these steps of necessary change is as follows:

1.       Mandatory Congressional Term Limits:

·      This will be extremely difficult to enact as the Congress alone has the sole authority to vote on this type of legislation. (Conservative candidates must pledge their allegiance to this most important subject matter.)

·      Senate Members can serve no more than 2 (6yr.) terms.

·      House Members can serve no more than 6 (2yr.) terms.

·      None can ever rerun for any other elective Federal Branch Office(s).

·      The President can at a future point in time appoint these past elective Federal office holders to a non-electoral office or position.

·      Our Founding Fathers never had in mind career politicians we are now completely entrenched with, and that they should remain in office as their sole and only career. The Founding Fathers wanted knowledgeable business people to serve their Country for only a short period of time and than return to the private sector (the sector that earns money, not taxes it). Today’s politicians serve in Congress for so many years that it leads to all types of corruption. (A wise man once said and it’s so true; Politics is corrupt and the longer you are in politics the more corrupt you become!)

·      Your can send the correct and proper message to your local delegate(s) and of course most important refusing to contribute financially to the RNC for their campaigns and this is of immensely great importance to decline to contribute to the RNC unless they see the light. This will ensure that our elected candidates will endorse and vote positively regarding vital democracy saving conservative principles.

     2.   Repeal the Present Income Tax System and Change to a  

           National Expenditure or Consumption Tax:

·      The most important aspect of this change is that this change would assure that all U.S. Residents would pay at least some of their fair share of taxes.

·      This would additionally guarantee that the massive and I mean gargantuan underground cash basis network would be deprived of their deceptive practices to steal from all of the loyal tax payers and they must finally contribute to our treasury through their consumption of goods, service and products just like the rest of us.

·      The only people in this Country that could possibly or would object to this income tax repeal would be the liberal congressional Representatives and Senators who want to tax and spend those ill-gotten monies on vote getting social programs and also of course the accounting firms who specialize in Federal tax accountability. Oh yes, I forgot to mention the many millions who presently pay no taxes at all and get subsidies, grants, financial assistance and support to assure their Democrat vote in the next election. And here I thought buying votes was illegal. What a fool I am!

·      U.S. Corporations would pay a fixed tax on their produced products and this would in all probability reduce their yearly tax bills and this would not add to the cost of these goods, plus keeping prices down and foreign competition in check.

·      Foreign Corporations would pay a nominal tax fee on the same types of products, goods and services imported.

·      Deductions for house mortgages, charitable deductions, etc., will continue and will deductable at the end of each year.

·      Higher tax rates imposed by Congress continually impose higher impact economic costs.

·      And now through the our outlandish tax system exemptions and concessions loop holes have frequently resulted from the pursuit of non-revenue generation objectives, particularly social(ist) and industry assistance objectives, and at this point in time increasingly environmental ones.

A national consumption tax is far better than the proposed flat tax that a number of well-intentioned politicos and pundits have proposed. One of the instinctive problems with the present tax system is that for any given revenue need, more and more exemptions and additional concessions necessitate higher statutory tax rates that damages and harms everyone in the long run.

A flat tax, (while much better than the present tax system), would continue to allow Congress to give unfair tax exceptions, used by liberals in Congress, to again gift the supposed poor (which is their voting base) so a great majority of them will again pay NO taxes. Sorry but that is wrong --- so very, very wrong!

Everyone in America should pay some Federal tax to conduct and operate the functions only necessary to run our Country and only the consumption tax does that.

3.     Actual Time Spent Campaigning for President and

  Congressional Offices Must be Dramatically Shortened:

·      The present campaigning time allotted by our parties must be Dramatically Curtailed and Endorsed to Reduce the Costs Associated with Campaigning for Federal Offices.

·      Today, typical Senatorial Candidates must raise approximately $50,000 to $100,000 each day they are in congressional session for their re-election (and that means they are not conducting the peoples business, however, that might be good as most don’t correctly conduct the peoples business anyway.)

·      Adjustment of a reduction of monies spent to campaign for Presidential and Congressional Office terms is beyond any comprehensive realism and actuality. 

·      Fairness regarding number of TV spots each candidate can run during the allotted campaigning time periods.

·      Each and every over-the-air station must give equal time and time slot for each party representative during the campaigning time period.

4.     Presidential Line Item Veto:

·      This is truly necessary as a check against the outlandish spending by Congressional spendthrifts (both Democrat and Republican office holders) who are only buying votes for their next reelection with your money for their next term in Congress.

·      This must be passed again by Congress and put again in front of the Supreme Court for a positive adjudication prior to the balance of the Court going back to the Liberal element.

5.     501C4’s & Pac type organizations must not be allowed   

  to contribute unlimited sums of money to political   

      campaigns – the monetary limit must be caped at the  

      individual limit.

·      It requires far too much money to run for political office 

Today -- as an example; a typical Senatorial race now     

      requires over $50 million and how would they not be  

      beholding to these financial backers who contribute such

      enormous funds?

6.   The Republican National Committee (RNC) must help  

  select the Conservative representatives, throughout the  

  U.S., that can be elected to bring about seats taken away    

  from the Democrats.

·      The only chance the Republican Party (it’s a pity it is not referred to as the Conservative Party) has for its own future success to pick true Conservatives to run in the races against Liberal and now the more Socialist Democrats.

·      The RNC should take a more aggressive position in the choosing of state candidates and should focus on the removal of the Senatorial Republications who have and continue to jump ship and voted with the Liberal Democrats on bills such as the Stimulus funding bill and other Liberal functioning. It would be better to lose these seats temporally so these turncoats can no longer have the privilege to be Senators.

The people of this still great Country must now be heard. It’s now time for all right minded people (Democrat and Republican) to insist upon their State Governments to defy the Feds starting with the Healthcare debacle where the Feds do not have this authority to pass and mandate healthcare. Second, demand that your State Legislators threaten to amend the Constitution. Third, abolish the Income Tax. And fourth, we should insist upon to nullify all the laws Congress has passed over the years, which they had no positional authority to do so and there are thousands upon thousands of these ill-advised laws.

 

By the way, most of this attacking or the taking away from and the abolition of the private sector, private property, and our magnificent  free enterprise/entrepreneurial system was started during the FDR New Deal time, accelerated by the LBJ Great Society and now on the expeditious fast track of Obama’s socialist agenda. As can now be seen, in session after session of Congress, we are surrendering our liberty and as a consequence government gains ground upon us.

Thomas Jefferson said:

“When the people fear their government there is Tyranny --

When the government fears the people there is Liberty!

It is very important that you know and understand that we are a REPUBLIC and not a democracy. A democracy can and will, as has been historically shown eventually leads to tyranny. And for any of you on the wrong side of the issues before you get carried away with the wonderful socialist agenda by Obama and this Congress you must read the Constitution and in particularly section 8 shown below. In it, the founding fathers gave Congress 18 principal items of power that they were put in charge of and to oversee. However, over the years they have usurped those powers bestowed upon them. Approximately 75% of what they presently tax and spend administering our monies cannot be found on this list of powers in Section 8 – the Powers of Congress.  Just to point out a few of these, concealed by design and continually over stepping their powers, they now manage car companies, bailout and run banks, subsidize farms, protect organized unions, determine compensation for executives and now demanding that all residents, (including that we the proper citizens of the U.S. as well as the give away to illegal aliens), must use their government mandated health care system.

Section 8 - Powers of Congress

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

To borrow money on the credit of the United States;

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;

To establish Post Offices and Post Roads;

To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

To constitute Tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court;

To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations;

To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

To provide and maintain a Navy;

To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Building of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; And

To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

Do you want to bet on the real costs of the medical program? If the people only knew what was really going on in this Obama healthcare debacle there wouldn’t even be an issue. However they don’t know or even worse they mostly don’t care. If they (our illustrious Marxists/ Socialist congressional leaders and political follower sheep) if they really wanted to fix the healthcare problems they would start by doing two important changes; 1st - They should enact substantial and significant tort reform (they won’t because of the trial lawyers financial influence upon the Democrats but we the Conservative can get it done). 2nd – They should set a financial goal each year for the next five years and this goal would be to reduce the fraud and waste out of our present Medicare and Medicaid programs until it is reduced by approximately 85% (I truly believe you can’t ever get all the fraud out of any government program). 

I would suggest that each of you take some time to look at the basis of your freedom here in the United States of America. Just go to any of the Internet search engines and type in U S Constitution.

In closing, I wonder if the President and for that matter the Congressional Members of Congress really understand or know the true meaning of the oath of office they swear to with their hand upon the bible.

From the true written word of our Constitution: Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
