The Supreme Court Must Act, for Honor if Naught Else.

Long is the history of the United States government usurping it's constitutional mandate to restrict it's power over the people of this country. Make no mistake about it; as a Christian man, I believe there is a special place in Hell for people who pretend to be representatives of the people and yet use their power for their own aggrandizement or power. We are at the precipice of the chasm of chaos brought on by purveyors of socialistic mysticism. The founding fathers were privy to this threat. They put in place the tools needed to defeat this enemy of freedom. However, they all readily admitted that their efforts would be to no avail should we lose our soul and character. We find ourselves at a place where the soul and character of nine individuals may determine the fate of the greatest nation to have affected the world.

It is time for the Supreme Court of the United States of America to fulfill it's constitutional duty as the check and balance on the other two legs of government. This fiasco of the Congress, aided and abetted by the Executive branch of this nation delving into every niche of business in this country must end if we are to survive as a constitutional republic. The challenge is enormous. No war, no economic disaster, no moral crossroads is as important to the fate of this nation than what we face today. The unholy alliance of business and government, has for the last century dragged this nation into a damnable pit of pseudo capitalist socialism. Government intervention into the day to day operation of privately owned business has tragically become so normal that most voters have no clue that they routinely vote for individuals who consistently break their oath of office. I'm guessing here to be fair; but I am confident in saying that 90% of the Congress of this United States has, at some point in their career, voted for an unconstitutional bill. I fear it is actually higher than that. You do too don't you? We are duty bound to stop the insanity and return this country to the constitutional republic which was handed to us to protect for future generations. If we fail to do so, history will be brutal in it's assessment of our selfish myopic failure to think beyond ourselves. We once spoke of the greatest generation as they pulled the world out of the jaws of fascism with sacrifice of body and soul. What will this generation sacrifice?

Constitutionally, we are at a crossroads. Our founding fathers were genius in structuring this government to resist tyranny. They gave us the power to vote for Representatives every two years. Accounting for our apathy, they also gave us Checks and Balances. Each branch of government having the power to resist the usurpation of the Constitution by the other branches. We find ourselves at a point in History when the Judicial branch of government may hold the 'Great Experiment' in their very hands. It is time for the Supreme Court to act, for honor if naught else.

For a century or more the Congress has deceptively used article 8 of Section II of the Constitution to pry its' way into almost every aspect of our lives, stealing our liberty under the guise of compassion for the disenfranchised. Is there really anyone left who doesn't understand this ruse? It is about power and money, it always has been. Samuel Adams knew it. Thomas Jefferson knew it. Ben Franklin knew it. John Adams knew it. Why...oh why don't we know it? Barring an electoral miracle in which the entire Congress is replaced completely, several times over (because the new ones will just do the same thing) the fate of our nation lies in the hands of the Supreme Court of the United States of America. They must find a case, any case, and render a decision that the government has overstepped their enumerated powers. This and only this will bring this contemptible theft of liberty to a screeching halt.

So, to each and every member of the United States Supreme Court, I ask; have you no honor? Will you accept the call of history and do your sworn duty? Will you, once and for all, end this despicable farce? Are you being paid off? Are you intellectually against a free republic? What then, is your excuse to history? If not Liberty, What? The fate of the greatest nation to be conceived and founded with blood and treasure lies in your hands. History awaits your reply. What will you do?

Haiti Tragedy Worsened by International Socialistic Thought

First and foremost our prayers go out to all the affected families in Haiti. We encourage everyone to contribute some form of aid to assist these victims in any way possible. Personally, I believe that the Salvation Army is the greatest organization to contribute to and they spend a large portion of donations towards aid as opposed to some who spend a large portion on future fund raising.

When people are suspicious of another's kindness they are less likely to accept it. America has been one of the most generous nations in the history of the world. Our country is not perfect as no country is, however, our Christian roots create the spirit of giving in our culture, particularly to those who have been disenfranchised for lenghty periods. It is sometimes difficult for people of good intentions to fully understand what is needed to actually help someone. In the case of Haiti there is a long history of economic and political turmoil that can only be resolved by first educating the public on the advantages of liberty coupled with free market capitalism. This is the only thing that can truly help the people of Haiti in the long run. Certainly, in the short term aid of any kind is needed and warranted. But, as Bill Clinton proved beyond any shadow of doubt, international socialistic ideals personified by the U.N. membership is completely impotent to deal with a nation trying to free themselves from dependency and break the chains of despotism. During Clinton's presidency, Haiti's 'elected' president was ousted in a military coup. Against the advice of many foreign policy experts the president sent troops to Haiti to restore President Aristide to power. The story is much too complicated to go into in detail but the result was a fiasco that included putting U.S. soldiers under the command of the United Nations, an organization reknown worldwide for it's military efficiency. (Tongue planted firmly in cheek!)

Now another tragedy of natural origins has stricken this poor nation. I fear that chaos will soon be the order of the day as the people become desperate for aid and the hopelessness of their situation becomes apparent. A military presence will be needed but it will probably be another fiasco as many nations of the world will accuse America of strong arm imperialism. The failure to recognize the good intentions of America have been a source of unnecessary suffering in many Middle Eastern countries. If the Palestinians had rejected Iran's influence and fully embraced a friendship and partnership with Israel and America, they very likely would have a small but vibrant country side by side with Israel prospering in trade and tourism due to their very advantageous geographic location. But they chose to falsely paint America as the devil and their fate has been sealed. Poverty and political suicide is the order of the day for the Palestinian peoples.

I only pray and hope that the people of Haiti ultimately will embrace their own destiny and put in place a system which will allow free market capitalism to rise out of the darkness and create an island paradise where free men can reap the rewards of entrepeneurship and build an infrastructure and political framework that will deal with future disasters on their own terms. No one needs to come to America's aid when nature strikes. We take care of ourselves as well as others. We do so because of our liberty and our constitutional republic which allows our people to reach the potential that God has given each of us.

Again, please pray for the people of Haiti, and I encourage you to use the link above to donate as you can.
