On the Edge
On this cool October day in 2012 our country literally stands on the edge of disaster. Our political and social systems have been systematically torn apart by a president and political party bent on total government control. The very foundations of our Republic that have been under leftist attack for decades are now showing signs of complete failure. Our economy and our debt are unsustainable; mathematically impossible to repair under current political conditions. Our once dominant position in the world is now floundering leaving the entire world with a power vacuum that someone else will fill. That is where we sit about 30 days from the most important election this country has ever had.
These statements are very dire indeed but an objective review of recent history will prove them out to be accurate and maybe even a bit rose colored. Let’s review just a fraction of the illegal and unconstitutional acts of the recent past. It is my contention the most dangerous problem we face is the breakdown of The Rule of Law. Without a rule of law we are no longer a Democratic Constitutional Republic.
Rule of Law:
George Washington said: “The administration of justice is the firmest pillar of government” and today we live under a broken justice system. If you are a little guy you can’t afford to engage in a civil system that costs more then your redress unless seeking multimillion dollar opponent killing settlements. Anything less is a multiyear exercise in futility corrupted to enrich the bureaucracy, lawyers, and politicians denying justice for average citizens. The perception that our civil justice system works for those of modest means is laughable.
Our criminal system is even worse especially when it comes to government malfeasance. Criminal trials seam to take years to adjudicate and government officials are rarely prosecuted for offenses that a decade before would have quickly landed them in prison. The most recent egregious examples that show an unaccountable government unchecked and beyond justice are:
- The Fast & Furious scandal where an Attorney General lies to congress and a president enacts an illegal Executive Privilege claim to cover up for the AG and the covered up continues.
- The continuing Cover-Up of the Libyan Embassy attack.
- The dozens of unconstitutional executive orders issued by President Obama. Over 900 Executive Orders ranging from imposing Marshall Law to take over’s of every sector of private property.
- The Unconstitutional White House guidance for defense contractors not to issue layoff notices (required by law) and that the gov’t. would pick up the tab for fines and compensation. This is outright bribery.
- Obama essentially stopped enforcing a number of laws like Immigration and Welfare Reform.
- Obama has a kill list for terrorists including American citizens and has been using drones to execute U.S. Citizens without due process.
- For the first time in U.S. history the executive branch has manipulated unemployment reports.
- Sweetheart Dept of Energy loans to alternative failed energy corporations including foreign companies, many of which were Obama bundlers and supporters ($20 Billion plus).
These are but a few of the most recent examples; there are no doubt hundreds more behind the scenes illegal actions occurring with no oversight and consequences. Most of these scandals and illegal acts are still continuing. Congress appears to be powerless to stop or prosecute them. A democratic majority Senate (that has not submitted a budget in 4 years) has blocked any actions against the Executive Branch.
Worst of all is the press, which has completely allied itself with Obama and the Democrats. Media bias and malfeasance has reached such a level that it has become a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. Citizens have few ways to be aware of these scandals let alone have the Press aid them in stopping the corruption of this administration.
Vladimir Lenin said: “When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward – or go back. He who now talks about the “freedom of the press” goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.” Without a free press (which has voluntarily abdicated its responsibility) the rule of law will die and is dying.
The only hope American citizens have is an upcoming election whose corruption can only be speculated upon and overcome. Otherwise 4 more years of this President will fundamentally transform our country into something that resembles the USSR instead of the USA.
