The last
time America reached an impasse such as this was the Civil War.
Today, it's not just keeping black people enslaved. Today it is
everyone middle class and below that are considered poor and useless
by the powers that be.
For not
being members of the elite, our rights have been labeled
entitlements. We pay taxes and work. Yet our taxes and our work,
don't matter. Our families are not worth supporting. Our schools are
not worth attending. We don't need healthcare. We are a drain on the
air that they breathe.
Useless.
Solely because they say so.
The
president that we the people elected in a lopsided vote is not deemed
legitimate because he was born black, labeled as such by their rules
even though his mother is one of them..
The
Affordable Healthcare Act is law. It is a part of the Constitution of
the United States, passed legally by Congress, signed by the
President and vetted by a right leaning United States Supreme Court.
But that
is not good enough for the teabaggers.
43 times
they have voted to repeal this law. 43 times they have failed.
The 44th
attempt at repeal has shut down the federal government, and is on its
way to crippling our fragile economy that is still recovering from
other foolishness promoted by this same House of Representatives.
The
teabaggers have committed treason by refusing to abide by the
Constitution and uphold their oath of office. John Boehner and Eric
Cantor have also violated their oath of office by allowing this
travesty to happen.
In case
you've never seen the Congressional oath of office, here it is:
“I
do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the
Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and
domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or
purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the
duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
It was written following the Civil
War, replacing the original Congressional oath of office used until
the Civil War:
"I
do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of
the United States."
There is nothing in either of these
oaths allowing for the exception “because you don't like it or
disagree with it politically.”
Treason!
And in addition, since they all, or
most of them, consider themselves Christians, have condemned
themselves to hell, because they also swore to their god. Although
I'm sure if called on the god-thing they will say it doesn't count
because the Constitution says so;
Article VI, clause 3:
“The Senators and
Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several
State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of
the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath
or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no
religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any
Office or public Trust under the United States.”
They
interpret the Constitution in the same way they interpret their
bible...some of it for them...some of it for us and never the twain
shall meet.
Treason!
We
can't impeach. Only the House of Representatives can impeach. The
Senate does the trial. The President sits and watches, as does The
Supreme Court. They are allowed no input at all.
To
sum it up bluntly...we the people are fucked.
We
are a captive audience for idiots...One faction of one party of one
part of government chooses to hold the American people, our country,
our duly elected representatives and workers, hostage because of
narrow ideology that has nothing to do with balancing the budget,
reducing the deficit, generating jobs or fixing the economy.
Abraham
Lincoln fought a war, a lengthy and costly one. He waited until the
South made the first move by seceding and then firing the shots at
Fort Sumter.
I
wonder what President Obama is waiting for....
This
is where I say remember in November...but that's a very, very long
way off. If we make it to the next election...vote responsibly..
