Constitutional Freedom

During the last six months there has been significant turmoil in Greece as the Government comes to terms with their excessive debt load.  It is arguable that the debt load and government crisis is due in large part to the government unions.  Why does a government work force need a union.  Unions were originally established to help the workers defend themselves against excessive demands and poor working conditions.  Unions were very effective during the industrial revolution and could serve a purpose in developing countries such as China and India.  However, they do not serve a valuable purpose in government.  Unless you think that the government is dangerous and will treat their employees unfairly etc.  The irony is, these people are so dependent upon the government that they don’t know what to do now that their government is broke.

So I have a business and accounting background.  I see the government as a necessary part of a business called general & administrative.  On the financial statements this is a set of expenses that is “below the line”.  As such the G&A generally provides support to the overall business, provides services such as accounting and regulatory compliance, but generally does not generate any revenue.  Think of a company such as Microsoft, trying to sell a business the right to use their marketing department, or accounting department.  It just doesn’t make sense.

Now to continue the metaphor, the income generating portion of the business (in Microsoft’s case, the sale of software and hardware) is like the private companies that generate GDP and pay taxes.  This portion of the business is what “brings home the bacon” so to speak.  It makes it possible for the G&A to even exist.  You couldn’t have an accounting department without the income generating portion of the business.

If the income generating portion of the business begins to struggle to earn income because market conditions change, or capital is unavailable etc, the answer isn’t to hire more accountants and lawyers.  If a business were to report that they are growing because despite a loss in revenue they hired more accountants and therefore economic activity is up, that would be ludicrous.  The answer is to trim the business fat, focus on what drives income, and what the competitive advantage is, and then do it.

So backing out of the metaphor, the current situation in our country cannot be fixed by hiring more government workers.  If so we’ll just end up like Greece, bankrupt with no one to pay the taxes.  We need to trim the fat of G&A, focus on what drives true economic activity, and let businesses prosper.

“He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.”

In the above section it is clear that the President does have the authority per the Constitution to “recommend to their Consideration such Measures..”.  Ultimately this becomes a judgment call as to what the definition of recommend is.  Recent administrations have “recommended” entire bills that they have written or crafted.  It seems that the President should encourage congress to consider serious issues and to seek a solution that best serves the interest of the American people.  Oddly enough it might seem that the current administration took this tack with the Health Care overhaul.  The author feels that while the tack may have been technically appropriate, the failure is more in the conclusion reached than in the recommendation.

Other items in this section seem fairly standard and are practices with which the average American is familiar.  The annual state of the union is something that is analyzed and reviewed, where the President list’s his agenda for a year just after saying that the “state of the nation is ’strong’”.  I find that statement ironic considering the list of items they feel need to be corrected.

Freedom is a God given right, and the oppressive evil which is becoming our government is of the devil. The government today is here to tell you what to do, when to do it, and there should be no questions asked. The history of the world and the history of our beautiful country proves that we the PEOPLE are meant to be free. We need to WAKE-UP!!! We are missing out on great opportunities to spot our loss of rights and freedom, and the time is NOW to get up and fight for the God given liberties that we were born with. As the Prophet John had said, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32) God wants us to wake up, he wants us to learn all we can, so that we can further the power of truth. We all must under stand the great importance of education, we need to spend time talking to our friends and our neighbors. Spread the word, help other people wake up and realized what this terrible act of tyranny is commencing on our own soil. A true American hero once said,”the constitutions of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that is it their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property and freedom of the press.” (Thomas Jefferson) Please read that three of four times if you really need to… Now reflect on the United States now. What do you think?

Obama is making a change yes a change to communism. This is not a conspiracy, this is a fact. The powers of the government these days has grown out of our hands. The federal government is now controlling the economy, our health, our minds. We are subject to these evils because we allow ourselves to be consumed with the heard of sheeple. Sheeple go home turn on the TV and tune out, while billions of dollars are being flashed in front of our eyes and eventually we began to strive to be like our favorite Television shows. We lose ourselves and our minds and, eventually forget our GOD given freedoms. Now believe me it is hard to believe that Television is controlling you, but it is your duty to go and find the REAL answer. I would rather you do not believe me and do research on these things. Statistics show that “the average American watches more than 4 hours of TV each day (or 28 hours/week, or 2 months of nonstop TV-watching per year). In a 65-year life, that person will have spent 9 years glued to the tube.” (www.csun.edu) That is a scary fact.

So its not just the scholars duty to wake up and realize these things, it is our duty as individual human beings to expand our mind to learn and to read. Stay informed! Do not waver in disbelief, sit down and find your own truths. Listen to the truths of our past, our heritage, there is a reason why the government wants you to be distracted. Those should be our main focuses especially since they blind us with profit, and hide the facts of the loss of rights. Obama is turning our country upside down. We cannot just sit and watch it happen, we cannot just sit at home while we become enslaved! A very dear hero of mine recorded, “And under this head ye are made free, and there is no other head whereby ye can be made free. There is no other  name given whereby salvation cometh; therefore, I would that ye should take upon you the name of Christ, all you that have entered into the covenant with God that ye should be obedient unto the end of your lives.” (Mosiah 5:8) Stop letting the news tell you who is good, or bad. Listen to yourselves God gave you a brain to think. Not to let other people think for you.

Now let us make a promise today that we will go and find the truths. Find out your real freedoms, read the constitution. (THAT IS WHAT THIS WEBSITE IS FOR!!!) As Morpheus said, “There’s a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path.” (the matrix) Now it is our turns to Walk the path.

What ever happened to one nation under GOD? What ever happened to the voice of the people? Well these are important questions we ALL need to be asking ourselves. Our government is no longer listening to its people, we are losing our voices. And if we do not learn to stand up for ourselves and for future generations, we will wake up in a Soviet Communistic state. Now I don’t know about you but I’m not going to sit and watch this evil unfold.

I know all of you left-wing, liberal, socialist nuts are saying, ” Now what about all of the people the government is helping with the Health care Bill?” HA! Well first Obamacare is a freedom killer, and if you want the government to decide; what drugs you will take, which doctors to see, if you will even be covered, ect… Then congratulations you will be one of those millions of Americans will be lining up at a government hospital waiting to POSSIBLY be seen by a barley qualified government doctor. Well that is your future, but not mine. “But what about the people living in poverty they are now receiving health care? You are racist for demoting Obama’s Health Care.” That is exactly a Socialistic thought, okay so maybe some lazy homeless guy is now getting doctor attention, but now every noble hardworking American is going to pay $8,125 per person per year. Ouch… I barely make that anyways why am I paying for people who do NOTHING?! And what about all of those homeless people that are homeless because they are criminals, or drug addicts? Congratulation’s your socialist power upheaval is helping a lot of great people. So what about all of us other Americans? Where is our break? We will not get one, in fact there will only be more taxes for those of us who actually work hard to put food on our tables. But wait doesn’t that sound familiar?

Lets take a look at our great history, in 1764 the all great British government decided to start taxing our sugar and our currency. But our courageous founding fathers chose not to stand for the, now this is important, TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. A years go by and the British government chose to ignore the people, and continued to tax the people. That is when our founding fathers stood up for their GOD given rights, and on 1773 they decided to show their distaste. Fast forward to today looks like deja Vu to me.

My fellow American people, we need to stop separating ourselves by race and gender. We need to unite as a Nation under God, and we need to fight for our liberties. We cannot just sit here and expect other people to do this for us we are the generation that needs to be there to fight this communistic idealism. Please remember our history, remember that we were a nation that was founded under God, and that originally all people were created equal. Do not forget the past because history has a tendency to repeat its self. Obama IS taking your freedoms with every bill. He IS trying to divide our nation so that the people will fight each other and ignore the tyrannical overthrow. We are the generation under our founding fathers who are set to the same task to oppose communisim, and to return the powers of the government to its rightful place. UNDER THE PEOPLE. Now if you have made it this far past all of my grammatical errors I applaud you. And now I will give you the duty to inform yourself, your neighbors, and your friends of the evils that are setting foot in our God given nation. I am praying for you and for all Americans to WAKE UP!!!!

May God Be With You.
