OUR ELECTED CRIMINALS

OUR ELECTED CRIMINALS

[SOME ETHICS & SCANDALS]

How the American Public has let down the American Public

Ø  Our elected officials have been busy little beavers when it comes to breaking the law and/or acting contrary to their stated family and social values.

Ø  In the summation section you will see that very few of these “ladies” and “gentlemen” ever pay any significant penalty for such discretions.

v  These are the very folks we like to call our political “elite”. Really?

Ø  Almost, to a man or a woman, they are all lawyers, which is somehow eerily ironic, and absolutely unacceptable.

v  Take a good look, folks!

Ø  Then ask yourself the question; “Why do we, as citizens of this Nation, keep electing these degenerates to represent us?”

Ø  The answer to that question is we all have “STUPID” tattooed across our foreheads.

Ø  When the Hell do we wake up and make democracy work the way it was intended to work?

Ø  We don’t need a whole lot of “Hope And Change”, or “a Future We Can Believe In”.

Ø  We certainly don’t have to “Make America Great Again”; we already are, and have been for quite some time.

v  Can we do better?

Ø  You bet your sweet Ass we can, but, if we don’t start soon, we’re all going to Hell in a hand-basket!

Ø  Is that the legacy you want to leave your kids, their kids, and so on down the line?

Ø  Stop being a collective herd of lemmings with your heads in the sand (or, elsewhere).

Ø  If you don’t do it, nobody will.

Ø  Please try using that lump on top of your shoulders that God gave you.

v  Let’s get rid of that tattoo and be a part of the democratic process.

A number of figures jump off the page at you; indicating the elite Washington ruling class. They don’t treat each other in the same fashion that they treat the Unwashed Masses. I guess you already knew that. It’s just worth confirming it from time to time.

Now, tell me, is a Second American Revolution out of the question?

POP....GO THE WEASELs!

PARSING THE PREAMBLE

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a

more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic

Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote

the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to

ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this

Constitution for the United States of America.”

 Let’s take a look............
1)         “We the people of the United States”:

If you are a citizen of the United States, you are “we the people”. 
No discussion necessary.

2)         “...a more perfect Union”:

You can lump three items into this category: a democratic society, a democratic 
form of governance, and a capitalistic economy.

3)         “...establish Justice”:

There is obviously a need for Laws. Just how intricate, obtrusive, and 
overreaching is a subject of contention that needs a lot of clarification.

4)         “...insure Domestic Tranquility”:

This can construed as allowing social regulatory Agencies such as Police Departments. 
This also brings into question the Rule of Law discussion. It may also involve information 
gathering Agencies like the CIA, the NSA, etc.

5)         “...common defense”

The original intent here was to maintain a well-regulated Militia; i.e. the National 
Guard and the Reserves. It does not address a standing Army (Military). 
Please note the word, Defence.

6)         “promote the general Welfare”:

This has nothing to do with modern-day entitlements. It is aimed at the promotion of trade 
between the States, and as a check/balance on runaway Capitalism. It also addresses public 
safety and infrastructure.

7)         “secure the Blessings of Liberty”:

This is a barrier against the State, or the Federal Government, imposing themselves on the 
lives of the citizens of the United States by the passing and enforcing restrictive Laws and 
Regulations. This is the one statement that is strictly for “we the people” and has no intent 
of any governing interference.

Somewhere along the way, 
these seven short statements 
were swept under someone’s rug.
