Gee, people are upset at betrayal and corruption?!?

Democratic leadership (I know: oxymoron) is reporting that some serious-sounding death threats have been reported by legislators. Now, I don't put it past Progressives to invent another "crisis", but...

If any reader has made, or wants to make threats - get the hell off my page. Violence is the very last resort, and only in defense. In all the events and groups I have observed, there was NO violence, especially by the conservatives. One (1) idiot allowed himself to get suckered into using a racial epithet, and WE shouted the fool down. All of the violence (plane crasher, Ft. Hood shooter, teacher shooter, finger biter, S.E.I.U. protester-beaters, etc) has come from the LEFT so far.

An assassination emboldens hostile countries, and would just bring up the next Progressive in line, with a righteous mob to back them. Even empty words give the other side an excuse to blame everything since Pandora on We the People - - who have every right to take back our Republic - - and will get your butt thrown in the can.

Back to school, professor.

In "Health care and democracy" (Daily Bulletin March 23),
Renford Reese, PhD (director of"Colorful Flags" [trans-
nationalism] at Cal Poly) takes a wonderful flight of
fancy.  Unfortunately, he tries to impose it as fact upon
readers.

Reese refers several times to his teachings about the
American Democracy and the stubbornness of conservatives. 
Um, professor? The Republicans - - and dozens of Democrats
 - -  are trying to follow our Constitution; and the United
 States is a free country, but NOT a Democracy.  It never
has been.

Though most readers have been taught otherwise by Progressive
teachers since 1913, we have a Republic.  That is, a
government whose authority comes SOLELY from the People, but
whose daily business is done by elected representatives. 
They are SWORN to uphold the will of their constituents, but
within the limits of the Constitution.  The Constitution
must be amended, not ignored, when things change.

A "Democracy" is where everyone votes on everything. 
Obviously, on a scale as large as a state or the United
States, this is impractical in the extreme.  It has always
fallen quickly into anarchy (chaos), which is why it has so
often been pushed by the international Socialist/Communist
agenda. It makes countries vulnerable to any group ready to
step in and seize power: 1917 Russia, 1933 Germany (National
Socialist, not "far right"), 1937 China, today's Greece;
dozens of them.

When they were revealed after 1913, the  "American
Communists" changed to "Progressives" in the United States,
because our system was strong and we always had smart,
independent citizens that would defend their Constitution.
'Progressive' means 'little steps toward Socialism' and then
on to Communism.  They slowly took over the schools and
"community organizing", instead of a palace.

But now the People have caught on again.  More than 75% want
improvements, but oppose the illegal health care takeover and
the dirty, corrupt politics to get it.  They know that despite
the lies, it does not add up.  'Free medical care' with it's
hidden side-bills will bankrupt the nation and damage the best
health care in the world. Reese calls this knowledge "hubris",
"ideology" and "mean-spiritedness".  When their clear and
repeated will was ignored and even ridiculed (Reese's "vibrant
debates"),  Americans got angry.  Their families' well-being
is threatened.

Pelosi's "in your face" parade last Sunday was recorded from
many angles.  None of them shows anyone spitting, nor anyone
wiping their coat or face.  None of them have "the N word" on
tape (let alone "15 times").  There is only one (not 2) anti-
Constitutional Congressman pointing and shouting
unprofessionally at a protester. In past cases, leftist plants
have been proved to stage such things, but no one has shown
that in this case.

Despite Reese's claims - - and liberal media assertions - -
there have been no (zero) acts of violence by conservatives. 
FOX news and others constantly warn against it.  The teacher
shooter, the plane crasher, the Ft. Hood shooter and the rest
all left behind leftist or trans-nationalist writings or were
members of anti-Constitution groups. That famous "racist with
an assault rifle" was an altered picture of a nice,
conservative, black man.  Heck, the 1.8 million conservative
marchers in Washington D.C. (and millions of others across the
country) on 9-12-09 didn't even leave any trash.

Sorry, professor: you get an 'F'.

"Representatives" should push Personal Agenda?

In March 17th's "Hard to speak the truth", Leonard Pitts (frequent, Miami Herald "Drive-by contributor") once again has trouble separating reality from his rhetoric. He takes to task California State Legislator Roy Ashburn, who got himself arrested for drunk driving and turns out to be gay as well.

Beyond some unsupported bashing of conservatives and hetero males in general, Pitts' issue is that he believes Ashburn is a "Leader". As such, Pitts thinks Ashburn should "think for himself" and put his gay agenda first, rather than "following the wishes of the people he served". His examples include opposing the voters' repeatedly passed and court upheld Proposition 8 ("marriage" = 1 man + 1 woman); and creating a Holiday for San Francisco Mayor Harvey Milk for being gay, and despite his abysmal perfomance in office.

What Pitts forgot is that Ashburn is a "Senator" and (despite needing to be recalled: for actions, not orientation) he is thus a "REPRESENTATIVE" in our system. This means a person whose authority and agenda come entirely from his constituents. "Leader" is not a title under the American Constitution (though it is a status, such as "Majority Leader" like Pelosi). "Leader" translates to "Führer" and National Socialist Germany had one of those in the 1930's and 40's. Communist North Korea still has a "Dear Leader" (Kim, son of Kim) and the Great Socialist People's Libyan Jamahirya has their "Brother Leader" (Qaddafi), like other Communist countries. Our Republic does not.

Our elected officials only act within the Constitution, and then only for the wishes of their constituents. To do otherwise - - such as ignoring the clear and repeated will of We the People, or calling them names, or using volumes of complex and confusing language for special interests, or fabricating "crisis" after "crisis" to rush bills through, or using parliamentary tricks to pass them when there aren't enough votes - - is so crazy I cannot even imagine it.

Can you?

Thrity six states have passed or are considering...
