The Silent Imposition of An Cashless American Society Will Be The Final Nail In The Coffin Of Personal Privacy in America

America, Where Is Your Outrage?!

On February 26 I read a disturbing report in the Washington Free Beacon, titled The Imperial Presidency. It was on the Congressional Hearing, “Enforcing the President’s Constitutional Duty to Faithfully Execute the Laws,” regarding the extremely troublesome overreach of Mr. Obama and his Executive Branch’s use of power with little regard or respect to the other branches of the constitutional federal government. I read of the testimony by Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University Jonathan Turley saying, “that the expansion of executive power is happening so fast that America is at a “constitutional tipping point.” WOW!

Three things struck me regarding the article. One, was the title. I don’t know about you, but imperialism shouldn’t ever be a term so boldly used in reference to the President of the United States. Two, that such a renowned and learned professor at one of the nations best educational institutions, who himself is a self-omitted Democrat Party and Obama supporter, is, and has been, sounding the alarms regarding this man’s policy’s harmful effects on the nation. He voiced what many of us have been silently struggling with when he said – “What also alarms me, however, is that the two other branches appear not just simply passive, but inert in the face of this concentration of authority.” This nation has survived for some 200 plus years with the people able to enjoy our purported cherished freedoms and liberties due to the Constitutional Checks and Balances between the 3 Branches of government. But if a Branch(es) decide to not fight to check the others over-reach, there is no longer any balance. The submissive Branch(es) run the risk of becoming “superfluous.” And it is at the citizen’s freedoms peril. What’s most concerning for me, is the deafening silence from the Established Media on this testimony and the lack of any visible robust protest or outrage by the people of America.

But as I look over the nations landscape, even the most intellectually uninitiated person would agree that this nation is not heading in the right direction on so many fronts. And though an argument can be made that the tide has been turning against this nation for some time, little argument can be made that since Mr. O’s historic ascension to the Presidency the knots have been turned up extraordinarily. But yet, public apathy and silent acquiescence seems to reign over the consciousness of a majority of the American people.

Here are just a sample of other issues that seem to not be getting the serious attention and interest of the American people regarding the actions of the government of the United States under Mr. Obama:

Hey, but this all could just be a big coincidence or misunderstanding. Besides, Mr. Obama is the country’s first true African-American U.S President. So, all is good. Right? Don’t worry. What time is American Idol? When is the next NFL of sports event? Matters of politics are too burdensome for me to care.

There seems to be a great silent majority of Americans who instinctively are aware that there is something terribly wrong with the direction of the nation. My question is why are we silent? The minority amongst us seem to find energies to muster their agenda. Why not the majority? Is it fear of being mischaracterized or called names, via the Media’s propaganda? Martin Luther King, Jr. prophetically stated, Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

The great illusion that is perpetrated by the Progressives and enemies to all that America is and stands for, is that their kind of “change” is inevitable. That it is us [the majority] who must conform. It is only our [the majority’s] acceptance of their vision or version of change that makes it become reality. Silent government acquiescence, no matter what the reason or intent, only means agreement to the actions of the government, no matter how insignificant or grand, or benevolent or cold-hearted. As James Madison said, The citizens of the United States are responsible for the greatest trust ever confided to a political society. If justice, good faith, honor, gratitude and all the other qualities which ennoble the character of a nation and fulfill the ends of government be the fruits of our establishments, the cause of liberty will acquire a dignity and lustre, which it has never yet enjoyed, and an example will be set, which cannot but have the most favourable influence on the rights of Mankind. If on the other side, our governments should be unfortunately blotted with the reverse of these cardinal virtues, the great cause which we have engaged to vindicate, will be dishonored and betrayed; the last and fairest experiment in favor of the rights of human nature will be turned against them; and their patrons and friends exposed to be insulted and silenced by the votaries of tyranny and usurpation.”

Only you can decide.

The Progressive’s Amnesty Bill Will Forever Shackle America To Serfdom As The World Witnesses In Stunned Astonishment

It seems inevitable that the U.S government will pass a reformation of the immigration laws of the nation that will open that nation’s gates to some of the poorest and most illiterate people in our hemisphere for two unstated reasons: 1) to increase the nation’s birthrate, and 2) to get cheap labor. This will drastically diminish the value of the once most cherished Citizenship – that of being an United States of American citizen – and saddling America’s posterity with second and third class citizenship.

In an era of “diversity”, “political correctness”, and “fairness” where everyone is to be equal and wealth and property is to be spread equally, and never a negative or bad word or thought is to ever be shown the light of day, what could be more fitting than the one nation that has set itself apart from its creation, as exceptional and the one place on earth where nation citizens could come to be free to inspire and reach their dreams, to have it degenerated to be just another nation at the table it is met with deafening silence.

In the last four-plus years we have been witness to a man coming literally out of nowhere with seemingly no recorded past of importance to the U.S voter to be placed in the seat of the presidency of the United States not once, but twice. The best medical system in the world, just by the very fact of the inherent freedom to innovate, have no ceiling on professional growth, and limited governmental interference with the relationship between patient and doctor with Obama-care has been total socialized. We have observed the explosion of homosexuality, and other alternative lifestyles, and religious secularism thrust to the forefront of U.S governmental domestic policy. The expansion of regulation and governmental burdens placed on America’s energy industry, particularly coal, and small business industry is unprecedented, especially at a time of such depressed economic growth. And now we stand on the possible verge of what may be the coup de gras, the U.S government’s granting approximately 40 plus Million illegal immigrant’s legal status and forgiveness for breaking our laws.

The reason that this presumed outcome of millions of illegal immigrants, particularly from Mexico, is so important is that it will lay naked for the whole world that the U.S government is willing and able to blatantly circumvent and obfuscate it’s own laws, manipulate and deceive the American people at all costs and no matter how severe the injury to the nation’s posterity or prosperity. But, it does too reveal that there is another supreme motivation and influence that is steering the Congress of the United States other than the wishes of the American people.

Here are some cases in point to try to wrap your heads around. In 2010 then Fla. Senate Candidate Marco Rubio in a CNN debate stated, “that illegal aliens inside the United States would need to go home and that giving illegal aliens ‘an earned path to citizenship,’... was nothing more than a “code for amnesty.” And he went on to say, “and the reality of it is this: This has to do with the bottom line that America cannot be the only country in the world that does not enforce its immigration laws. It is unfair to the people that have legally entered this country to create an alternative pathway for individuals who entered illegally and knowingly did so.”“If you do that, you will never have a legal immigration system that works,”… “No one is going to follow the law if there is an easier way to do it.” Ironically now Fla. Senator Rubio is one of the eight members drafting legislation to do the very thing that he so rightly objected to. Did someone have a “one on one” with him after getting to D.C to sway his point of view?

Regardless of the much touted C.B.O [Congressional Budget Office] reporting the supposed economic benefits of those in the country illegally, it must be remembered that the report forecast is static – for simplified analysis wherein the effect of an immediate change to a system is calculated without respect to the longer term response of the system to that change. Such analysis typically produces poor correlation to empirical results.– and not dynamic – an attempt to take into account how the system is likely to respond to the change[Wikipedia].   So, any governmental report, such s the C.B.O report, will typically go on the unrealistic notion that everything will stay basically as it are today or planned to be as it is planned today without taking into account possible changes of facts such as the illegals, now legal, bringing over their family members like themselves, having babies, forever being wards of the state and existing off the local, State, and federal taxpayers due to their low education and or lack of ambition, and other likely issues and negative consequential expenses of blanketly legalizing the illegals as reported in the Washington Times.

Since Mr. O’s ascendency to the U.S presidency the Washington Times 10/2012 article reported that nearly 2 out of 3 jobs have gone to immigrants. The American worker is at an egregious disadvantage when competing with illegal Mexican immigrant according to Securities Mexico. The typical Mexican earnings in Mexico are less than $700 a month – less than $2300 for a corporate/ business mgr, and less $75 for the lowest skilled Mexican working in a field such as agriculture. Coupled with the fact that the people from Latin America do not have an issue with living together 10 plus people deep in a one room apartment to share expenses and stay in the country And with the low moral and ethical education being taught to today’s generation of Americans, dire times ahead are certain.

The real economic cost to America is going to be brutally staggering for generations to come. The Washington Times 6/10/13 article states that the cost of blanket amnesty will be around $5 Trillion for the lifetime of a legalized immigrant. In that same article it refers to the Heritage Foundation estimating the cost to be near $9 Trillion – including local, State, and federal government- over his lifetime. But these stated estimates are sand bagged at best. They are based on a severely ridiculous and illogical number of around 11 million illegals.  That was the same number given when G.W Bush was in office and the issue first hit the front pages nearly 10 years ago. Illegal Immigration Statistic.org states illegal immigrants currently are costing local, State, and federal taxpayers approximately $118 Billion annually based on 13 million illegals and their children – how many children per household? It doesn’t say. I lean more towards the approx. 25 million estimated illegals of immigration counters.org. And even that may be on the low side because being that they are illegally in the country, they are not exactly looking to be counted and they certainly haven’t stopped coming with all of the talk of giving them all a get out of jail free card with this over appeasing administration.

And to add the proverbial cherry on Mr. O’s America’s Decline Sundae, if the proposed amnesty bill should pass with it’s prohibition on the new legalized citizens not being illegible for federal benefits for 13 years, and with Obama-care already giving businesses a pass on the $3,000 penalty if the employee is an provisionally legal immigrant ”, as reported by Newsmax, it will give employers even more incentive to not hire an American citizen. And thereby also quicken the American citizen descent to 2ndor even 4thclass status in his own land. Unemployment will go off the chain for American youths,Americans  just entering the workforce, and those with low skills and low education.

It’s not just you and I who are screaming W.T.F! But observers all around the world are stunned and asking, “Why is this happening?” More importantly, how is this happening in America? Where is the opposition party, i.e., the Republican Party? The picture would appear less distorted if we all began to look at the picture in Washington less of Republican versus the Democrats, and more of the Conservatives versus the Progressives. This way we can start to see the picture as those being pro-sovereign America, pro-individualist, pro-traditional family, and pro-Constitutionalists, versus everything counter to those ideological positions. How else can one explain the vastly counter intuitive Republican positions of such so-called Republicans as Ariz. Sen. John McCain, S.C Sen. Lindsey Graham, Hse. Speaker John Boehner, and Fla. Sen. Mark Rubio? It is not about party affiliation, but ideology. Progressive ideology and that of the Democrats are nearly identical, but some members of the Republican party can be of the same yoke. That’s why Mr. O can get along with Republicans like Boehner and McCain and can get most of his legislation though the House, while Republican led legislation dies in the Democratically controlled Senate.

Just as one of the greatest Progressives, Teddy Roosevelt, said of the ruining of America,The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities.” We are systematically being divided into camps or squabbling interests – the camp of the elderly, the young, the Blacks, the Whites, those who want to be self-responsible and self-governed, those that want to be irresponsible for self and dependent on the government, the rich and poor, and those who love this nation’s traditional values, history, customs, and want America to prosper as the shining city on the hill, and those who care nothing about traditional American values, customs, history, and want to see America brought back into the darkness with every other nation.

The Progressives would have us believe that there is only the choice of whether we should cut our left foot off or to take the whole leg. But there are other options that could save both, but they won’t benefit their goal to forever cripple the patient. But, we as Americans can no long dwell in, what Martin Luther King, Jr. referred to as the most dangerous thing in the world, sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. It is up to each of us individually to be informed enough to know what is going on politically around us so we can make the most knowledgeable choices for ourselves and our nation. Not just for today, but for tomorrow…or else the shackles of servitude and dependency that today may fit comfortably about your wrist and ankles, will become painfully tighter tomorrow. Hola!
