type='text'>Biden&#39;s call for unity in his inaugural address has no real meaning.</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;There is an&amp;nbsp;old saying did actions speak louder than words,&amp;nbsp;this describes Joe Biden&amp;nbsp;perfectly. In his inaugural address, Biden called for unity&amp;nbsp;but those words have no real meaning&amp;nbsp;because he is hypocritically&amp;nbsp;doing the opposite.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;The speech itself&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a speech allegedly about bringing unity to the United States&amp;nbsp;following a very divisive time inserted divisive references white supremacy.&amp;nbsp;Normally this would not be a problem after all condemning real white supremacy moments like the KKK is a proper thing to do.&amp;nbsp;However,&amp;nbsp;Biden was not referring to&amp;nbsp;such groups base on the way he and other Democrats&amp;nbsp;have been talking he clearly used that term&amp;nbsp;in reference to anyone who voted for President Trump&amp;nbsp;and still supports him,&amp;nbsp;apparently without regard to&amp;nbsp;a person&#39;s actual skin color.&amp;nbsp;A speech on unity&amp;nbsp;would still not be a proper time to use such terminology even if you were referring to the KKK.&amp;nbsp;However,&amp;nbsp;using such a bigoted term to refer to&amp;nbsp;political dissenters in general,&amp;nbsp;and in a speech&amp;nbsp;that is supposed to be about unity,&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;not only inappropriate but counterproductive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;The redefinition of words&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of&amp;nbsp;the tricks of the left and&amp;nbsp;for decades has been&amp;nbsp;redefining words&amp;nbsp;to fit their agenda.&amp;nbsp;They have done this repeatedly with words such as marriage,&amp;nbsp;sex,&amp;nbsp;gender,&amp;nbsp;hate,&amp;nbsp;bigotry, and many many others.&amp;nbsp;Such&amp;nbsp;redefinitions&amp;nbsp;have two purposes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;To confuse people as to what you actually mean by what you are saying.&amp;nbsp;For example,&amp;nbsp;the dictionary definition of hate is to feel intense or passionate dislike for someone&amp;nbsp;or something.&amp;nbsp;However, what the&amp;nbsp;left means by hate is not wanting to give in to the demands of certain groups.&amp;nbsp;By their way of thinking not giving a drunkard&amp;nbsp;all the&amp;nbsp;alcoholic beverages that he wants&amp;nbsp;is hatred.&amp;nbsp;When the most loving thing you can do is to lock the person in a room until they dry out completely.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To control&amp;nbsp;the ideas that can be communicated.&amp;nbsp;Because we do not communicate telepathically the only&amp;nbsp;method we have at our disposal&amp;nbsp;is the use of words in communicating ideas.&amp;nbsp;Yes sometimes pictures and numbers can&amp;nbsp;be used to communicate&amp;nbsp;ideas&amp;nbsp;but even they need to be explained by words.&amp;nbsp;Therefore if you can redefine terms to fit your ideology it can become impossible to communicate different ideas.&amp;nbsp;I have had numerous discussions for leftists over the years and I have found it harder and harder in recent years to actually communicate with them.&amp;nbsp;We used to have the same meaning for words&amp;nbsp;making communication and understanding possible, however, that is quickly changing&amp;nbsp;making it harder and even impossible&amp;nbsp;for conservatives to actually communicate with leftists.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;The fact that Biden is following this pattern she was he is not interested in real unity&amp;nbsp;but in putting up a front&amp;nbsp;for the sake of his worshippers in the lamestream media&amp;nbsp;and elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Actions speak louder than words&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;If a body were really interested and uniting this country again there are several things that he would do none of which he has done and is &lt;b&gt;never&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;likely to do.&amp;nbsp;Doing&amp;nbsp;just some of these&amp;nbsp;would at least show some sincerity in his words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Call for an end to this impeachment&amp;nbsp;farce.&amp;nbsp;Anybody who has actually listened to or read&amp;nbsp;President Trump&#39;s speech&amp;nbsp;on January 6th, 2021 can see he was not trying to incite violence of any kind,&amp;nbsp;on the contrary, he was trying to help ensure it would be none&amp;nbsp;by emphasizing&amp;nbsp;peaceful protest.&amp;nbsp;Add to that the fact that it is already known that the incursion of the capital was not spontaneous but planned well in advance.&amp;nbsp;All this impeachment in the continued process are doing is driving a further&amp;nbsp;divisive wedge in this country.&amp;nbsp;Even if he could not stop it he could at least speak out against it but he is actually encouraged it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can stop using inflammatory language against his political opponents and&amp;nbsp;including anyone who voted for President Trump.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He could announce and set up a commission for the express purpose of investigating and getting to the bottom of the allegations of election fraud.&amp;nbsp;After all, if the election was indeed honest there&amp;nbsp;would be nothing to lose. Adding on the caveat of not running for re-election&amp;nbsp;if sufficient fraud was proven that it affected the outcome of the election&amp;nbsp;would help all the more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;At the very least you could have not been in such a rush to undo everything President Trump did that he has the ability to undo.&amp;nbsp;He could at least take an honest look at those policies to see if there are any that are worth keeping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He could have&amp;nbsp;at least appointed somebody to his cabinet that would not be scary for anybody to the right of&amp;nbsp;Joseph Stalin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He&amp;nbsp;could at least take a stand against efforts by Twitter,&amp;nbsp;Facebook, YouTube, and even Amazon&amp;nbsp;to shut down conservative voices.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;This is what an&amp;nbsp;incoming president truly interested and bring unity back to this country&amp;nbsp;would do,&amp;nbsp;rather than giving&amp;nbsp;a meaningless speech on the topic of unity.&amp;nbsp;However,&amp;nbsp;not even the most compulsive gamblers would bet on the odds Joe Biden actually doing any of these.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;The reality behind&amp;nbsp;Biden&#39;s words&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The unity Joe Biden was actually referring to is not truly to reunite a divided nation&amp;nbsp;but one in which no dissent or opposition is allowed.&amp;nbsp;Biden&#39;s&amp;nbsp;idea of unity is no one being allowed to disagree at least publicly with anything he says or does.&amp;nbsp;This is the way you left this work in every country where they gain power it is ultimately their only way of holding on to power.&amp;nbsp;The&amp;nbsp;big difference between Trump and Biden is that with Trump the division was from without in that the establishment in both parties&amp;nbsp;was out to get him from day one&amp;nbsp;in the lamestream media attack him every day of his presidency.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Biden on the other hand speaks unity&amp;nbsp;but actively seeks to divide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;About all, we can do at this point is to hope and pray did the Republicans in the Senate will have enough guts&amp;nbsp;can use the one power they have left,&amp;nbsp;the filibuster, and not give it up to cause repeated gridlock&amp;nbsp;is stopped as much of the damage that&amp;nbsp;will occur if they are allowed to get everything they want.&amp;nbsp;The simple fact is the findings call for unity in his inaugural address&amp;nbsp;were totally devoid&amp;nbsp;have any real&amp;nbsp;meaning but empty words to give the press and other leftists something to fawn over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/feeds/5182902126835724604/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/2021/01/bidens-call-for-unity-in-his-inaugural.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6618149438718780660/posts/default/5182902126835724604'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6618149438718780660/posts/default/5182902126835724604'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/2021/01/bidens-call-for-unity-in-his-inaugural.html' title='Biden&#39;s call for unity in his inaugural address has no real meaning.'/><author><name>Chuck</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02331155214592041805</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618149438718780660.post-5365151677132240208</id><published>2021-01-18T17:47:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2021-01-18T17:47:32.291-05:00</updated><title type='text'> Top 10 reasons the second impeachment was wrong.</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;There are probably more than 10 reasons why the impeachment of President Trump on January 13th, 2021 was wrong&amp;nbsp;not just factually wrong the wrong in every possible way constitutional&amp;nbsp;as well as morally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10,&amp;nbsp;This impeachment was hurried without any investigation.&amp;nbsp;It did not even go through the&amp;nbsp;judicial committee.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9.&amp;nbsp;President Trump was not given an opportunity to defend himself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8.&amp;nbsp;In the house debate no real evidence was ever presented of President Trump&#39;s guilt. He was simply declared the members of Congress to be guilty.&amp;nbsp;This effectively turns it into a bill of attainder something forbidden by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/p/article-i-of-constitution-of-united.html#s9&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Article I. LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT Section IX Clause III&amp;nbsp;of the US Constitution&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7.&amp;nbsp;There is insufficient time to the end of PresidentTrumps term&amp;nbsp;to conduct a fair&amp;nbsp;Senate trial.&amp;nbsp;It is constitutionally questionable as to whether or not the Senate&amp;nbsp;can even&amp;nbsp;legally conduct such a trial&amp;nbsp;after a president has left office.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6.&amp;nbsp;The same Democrats who were impeaching President Trump justified and even encouraged&amp;nbsp;the riots by leftists in the summer of 2020.&amp;nbsp;Unlike at the Capitol these riots including burning including the businesses of innocent people.&amp;nbsp;Yet the Democrats in full hypocrisy did not condemn them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5.&amp;nbsp;There was nothing in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru0LbdU1oOQ&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;President Trump&#39;s actual speech&lt;/a&gt; there was intending to inside violence of any kind let alone what we saw on January 6th.&amp;nbsp;He urged the crowd to peacefully let their voices be heard.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;Even&amp;nbsp;if there were people at that rally that were so angry&amp;nbsp;that they took his words&amp;nbsp;to encourage them to&amp;nbsp;riot it still does not put the responsibility on&amp;nbsp;President Trump.&amp;nbsp;It is necessary to look at why anyone would be that angry.&amp;nbsp;When you look at the two months&amp;nbsp;between the November 3rd, 2020 election in this event it is impossible&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;legitimately put the responsibility solely on&amp;nbsp;President Trump.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. While it is true that President Trump&amp;nbsp;spent 2 months contesting&amp;nbsp;an election that he and many others&amp;nbsp;so as&amp;nbsp;twisted by fraudulent votes.&amp;nbsp;The simple fact is that this process was the result of numerous eyewitnesses and other evidence&amp;nbsp;suggesting fraud.&amp;nbsp;These concerns were never investigated by the people whose job it was to do so&amp;nbsp;but the efforts were&amp;nbsp;repeatedly blocked&amp;nbsp;without the evidence being heard.&amp;nbsp;No court case with every loss based on the evidence they were simply thrown out of court on&amp;nbsp;alleged procedural grounds. Meanwhile,&amp;nbsp;the effort and anyone who backed it was vilified in the&amp;nbsp;mainstream media,&amp;nbsp;attacked by Democrats as being an act of inactive insurrection.&amp;nbsp;They&amp;nbsp;then found&amp;nbsp;their efforts to discuss what they believe was happening on social media&amp;nbsp;such as YouTube,&amp;nbsp;Twitter, and Facebook&amp;nbsp;only to be silenced. If indeed&amp;nbsp;there are people at that rally so angry President Trump&#39;s words sparked off the riot&amp;nbsp;then the responsibility falls on the media,&amp;nbsp;the judges,&amp;nbsp;elected officials in each state&amp;nbsp;who turned a blind eye to&amp;nbsp;concerns about election fraud and other illegalities.&amp;nbsp;Add to that&amp;nbsp;the attacks and ridicule from the Democrats, it should not be too surprising if some people snapped.&amp;nbsp;If anyone,&amp;nbsp;has been inciting violence it has been those&amp;nbsp;government officials who have refused to do their job and actually investigate the testimony and other evidence according to election fraud in other illegalities.&amp;nbsp;Along with Democrats&amp;nbsp;in media personnel&amp;nbsp;ridiculed the investigation along with the social network companies engaged in the censorship&amp;nbsp;of the discussion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;There is abundant evidence but this was planned&amp;nbsp;by the people who committed this act weeks before President Trump&#39;s speech.&amp;nbsp;In fact, the timing of things even suggests the people responsible were not even at the rally.&amp;nbsp;Let me give you a little hint it is impossible to incite violence and people who are not even present at the speech to hear it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;One or more &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theepochtimes.com/black-lives-matter-activist-who-stormed-capitol-on-jan-6-arrested-charged_3657333.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;BLM&amp;nbsp;members&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;were&amp;nbsp;among those that breach the capital on January 6th, 2021&amp;nbsp;suggesting that it may not even have been anyone who actually supported Trump involved.&amp;nbsp;If this is the case then President Trump had &lt;b&gt;nothing&lt;/b&gt; to do with it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please help support this blog with a donation through &lt;a href=&quot;https://tinyurl.com/cpcjr-YT-Donation&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;PayPal&lt;/a&gt;. $1 or more will get you a shout out on my next post. $10 more will allow you to select a topic you would like me to cover.

The U.S. Supreme Court&amp;nbsp;has upheld Obama Care. While it struck down the individual mandate on the bases of the commerce clause they upheld it as a tax. The net affect is still upholding of Obama Care.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/18px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot;&gt;

Surprisingly the deciding Judge surprisingly was not Kennedy, but Roberts. However since the individual mandate was intended to a fine and was never intended to be a tax. In declaring this a tax the U.S. Supreme Court is legislating from the bench by rewriting a law passed by congress to make it Constitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/18px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot;&gt;

What they did was ruled that the congress’s authority to regulate individual behavior is limited under the commerce clause is limited but unlimited under it taxing authority. So while they can not mandate that you do something and fine you if you don’t they can mandate that you do something and tax you if you don’t. This 100% nitpicking of terms the negative affect on individual liberty is exact the same.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/18px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The inevitable affect of this ruling is that unless Obama Care. is repaired the economy will eventually collapse under the weight of a government with uncontrolled power. The immediate affect is likely to be an increase in unemployment as business try to get the money needed for their mandates under Obama Care and smaller business collapse under its weight. &lt;/div&gt;

As a result of this ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court, the United States can not longer be called a free country. U.S. Supreme Court has effectively reduced us from citizens to subjects of an all powerful Government that can decree that we do something they demand and punish us for not doing it along as call it a tax and not a fine.&lt;/div&gt;

This section deals with the membership, rules, journals, and adjournment. It gives each House the authority to judge their elections, returns and member qualifications. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;It establishes a majority of members of each house has to do present to conduct and business other than adjourning for the day. A minority can also be allowed to compel absent members to attend meetings by appropriate penalties. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;The House and Senate are allowed to set there own rules and punish members as needed up to expelling a member by a 2/3 vote. They are also required to keep a record of their, meetings that has to be publish with the exception of parts that more than 4/5 those members present are deemed should remain secret. This was allowed because national security some times requires secrecy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Both the House and Senate need each others consent to adjourn for more than three days, or to a place other than there normal meeting place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This system has been proven to generally work well but it has from time to time been abused, For example Obama Care was passed through the House of representatives by way by passing all normal procedures to pass the senate version it would have failed to pass the senate again following a special election to fill a vacancy,&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This places the details electing Senators and Representatives in the hands of the states such as timing and place of elections. However it gives congress the authority to set uniform rules for their elections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It also sets the first day of congresses session as the first Monday in December but this was change to the 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; of January by &lt;a href=&quot;http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/p/amendments-17-22-to-constitution-of.html#A20-2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Section 2 of the 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Amendment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While this section is short it is important for setting the rules and timing of elections. While it is a relatively minor section it is important to the proper functioning of elections in the &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:placename w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;United&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;State&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This part of the constitution establishes the U.S Senate. In this part of the legislature the states all have equal representation. As representatives of states Stators originally elected by the state legislatures but it was changed to being elected by the people of the state by the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/p/amendments-17-22-to-constitution-of.html#A17&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;17th Amendment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This actually seems to have been a mistake since it has left the states with out actual representation and has done great damage to federalism. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;The Vice President serves as President of the Senate, but only votes in the case of a tie vote in the senate. This was done mainly to give the Vice President something to do other than sitting around waiting for the president to die.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The senate also has the duty of trying impeachments made by the house. This process was seen in action for the first time when President Clinton was tried after being impeached on perjury charges by the house. We also saw partisanship at its worst as every democratic Senator went in to the trial already determined not to vote to convict.

This section establishes the U.S. House of Representatives. It establishes representation in the House of Representatives based on the population of each state. The purpose of this is so that each American is equally represented in this body. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;It establishes that a census should be taken every ten years to count the population. This brings up the increasingly intrusive questions that come with the census, Note that all that the only question they are empowered to ask is the number of people living in a home. Not one other question is authorized while &lt;a href=&quot;http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/p/bill-of-rights-of-constitution-of.html#A4&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;unwarranted searches&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; are forbidden. In the past two censuses (2000 and 2010) the only answer they got from my family is the number people living in the house and that is all they have any right to know.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also a myth about this section that claims that blacks were only counted as three fifths a person. This myth is almost as old as the Constitution but it is totally false. Yes it only counted as three fifths of slaves but there was no racial component to it since all free blacks would be counted.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The reality is that this was actually an anti slavery measure. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Anti-slavery delegates to the constitutional convention did not want any slave counted because the salve population would have given most of the representatives in the house to slave holding states making it impossible to ever abolish slavery. The slave holding slave holding states wanted all of the slaves counted precisely so as to have increased representation in congress. The three fifths compromise was the solution to this problem and it benefited the anti-slavery side. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
They wanted to establish Justice for all which you don’t get form the arbitrary informant with see in the modern federal bureaucracy.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;They wanted to insure domestic Tranquility which is not accomplished by efforts to drive a wedge through society based income for political gain rather than encourage economic conditions that allow people to increase their income. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;They wanted to provide for the common defense which the Government is failing to do by letting milling of illegal immigrants enter the country unchecked while not dealing properly with treats from abroad.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;For example the failure to realize the Islam is the source of the theorist problem and not just a few crazies. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They wanted to promote the general Welfare but Obama is failing to do by running the national debt at an unprecedented rate while burdening job creators with harmful regulation, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;They wanted to secure the Blessings of Liberty for all Americans which Obama and three democrats hostilely attacked by passing an unconstitutional individual mandate of Obama Care which nothing short of declaring every American a slave of&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;the Federal government by declaring the authority to exercise total control the fruits of labor, because if they can mandate that you buy one product by extension they can mandate how you spend every dime you make and &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;there by effectively taking all of the fruits of our labor which is by definition slavery.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script src=&quot;http://www.stumbleupon.com/hostedbadge.php?s=5&quot;&gt;

It is the supreme law of the land such that every law, regulation and treaty made by the Federal Government must be consistent with it. If it does not the act is null and void as though it never existed. If a state law, regulation or other action violates those sections of the U.S. Constitution that apply to the stares it is likewise null and void.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the &lt;a href=&quot;http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/p/constitution-of-united-states.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;U.S. Constitution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; strictly adhered to the Federal Government would be a lot smaller than it is today but sadly this has not been the case. The notion that the U.S. Constitution is a living document has been used to justify &lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; color: black;&quot;&gt;ignoring&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; part of it while insisting that things are there that are not. A classic example of this is abortion. The Supreme Court decision that forced abortion down the throats of all 50 states was based on nothing in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/p/constitution-of-united-states.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;U.S. Constitution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; actually violates the &lt;a href=&quot;http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/p/bill-of-rights-of-constitution-of.html#A5&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;fifth Amendment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; which for bids the Government from depriving a person of life without due process of law. Supreme Court decision should be based on the original intent of that section of the Constitution and not manipulated to mean what ever the judge wants it to mean.&lt;br /&gt;

There are several reasons why this is the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first reason is that because he is not a real conservative the conservative bases we not be excited with the only reason to vote for him being to get rid of Obama. That may not be enough motivation to get enough out to the polls or actively campaign on his behalf. A depressed GOP voter base was one of the contributing factors to Obama victory in 2008. Furthermore a significant part of the GOP voter base has indicated that they simply can not vote for Romney because he is not a real conservative.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;There are some people who will not vote for Romney just because he is a Mormon. Mormons believe a lot of things that spook some people and this would reduce the percentage of the GOP voter base and even some independents that would actually vote for him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;Finally as Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney he signed into law a bill that was used as a template for Obama Care. On these bases there is an even larger portion of the GOP voter base will not vote for him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Mitt Romney is the only GOP Presidential candidate that people are saying they can’t vote for him.&lt;br /&gt;

It replaces all current taxes with simpler flat tax system of a 9% Business income tax, individual income tax and sales tax. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 9% Business tax deducts purchases capital investments and exports. The 9% individual income tax has a deduction for charitable donations. Further more both of these have additional deductions for opportunity zones, which also has the effect of reducing individual income tax for those in poverty to zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This would relieve most of the burden of complying with the current tax code and as such it would be a huge boost to the economy. The resulting increase in economic activity would create millions of jobs and actually increase Federal revenue over the current system. It is a bold plan that would reveres the economic downturn of the last three years. The result would that the economy would bounce back like never before with more people working and keeping more of what they earn the economy would take off and thrive once again.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that Mitt Romney got elected Governor of Massachusetts is not a real conservative is. These are the same people that kept electing Ted Kennedy as Senator until his death. The fact is that a real conservative can’t get elected to dogcatcher in &lt;st1:state w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Massachusetts&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; let alone Governor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;st1:state w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Massachusetts&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; health care law that has come to be called Romney Care is solid proof that Romney is not a conservative. This plane was with its individual mandate was used as a model for Obama Care. This type mandate shows a statist mindset that sees the state as master of citizen surfs. It based on the elitist idea that the government knows better how to run your life than you do. As a result Mitt Romney can not be a conservative.&lt;br /&gt;

This started a movement among some of Obama’s opponents to push the issue; they have come to be called birthers. The issue is important because if Obama really was born in &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Kenya&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; he needs to be removed from office. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;Obama’s response was to release a copy of a short form Certificate of Live Birth which while it has proven authentic actually proves nothing about Obama’s place of birth because obtaining one does not require showing the birth occurred in &lt;st1:state w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Hawaii&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt;. This started the call that Obama provide a long form birth certificate which would prove he was born in &lt;st1:state w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Hawaii&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; but he did not. The issue should have been settled when congress counted the electoral votes in January of 2009 by congress demanding that Obama provide his long form birth certificate before they certified the election but they never did. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;After this several law suits were filed to force the release of Obama’s his long form birth certificate but the white house fought every one of them getting them dismissed for lack of a standing. When a shoulder being deployed to &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Afghanistan&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; questioned the lawfulness of Obama’s orders he court marshaled with out being allowed to raise the issue in his defense. Being unable to defend himself since his defense was disallowed he was naturally convicted and spending time in a military prison he was dishonorably discharged. As a result all courts have refused to hear any case on this issue and Obama fought all efforts to have it reviewed in court even to the point of ruining people to protect it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;Another way the truth could be found was to check Obama’s mother’s passport records to see if she had been in the &lt;st1:country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; or &lt;st1:country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Kenya&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; at the time of Obama’s birth. That would have settled the issue once and for all but when a Freedom of information act request was filed to get those records they were told that here records had been destroyed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;Eventually several states started perusing laws that would requires some one running for president to present a birth certificate to prove they were qualified to be president. Obama’s first response was to challenge the first such law but then eventually released the long awaited long form birth certificate.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;While it has the intended affect of stifling the passage of laws requires some one running for president to present a birth certificate it did not end the issue. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The long form birth certificate has been examined and there are question about it that suggest that it is fake. One is that the certificate was clearly digitally inserted on the back ground as is evident by the white surrounding the letters. The second “1” in the certificate’s number is clearly inserted and not part of the original number. Questions have also been raised about the number it self by comparing it to numbers from other people born on the same island at about the same time. One other issue is that Obama’s father’s race is listed as African which would not have been used in 1961. In 1961 Obama’s father’s race would have been listed as Negro. This looks like a mistake that would be made by a politically correct forger.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What makes this even worst is that it is such an obvious fake that it could only be more obvious if they had place Fake Birth Certificate at the top. This raises the issue of why? There are two possibilities both of which are disturbing. One is that Obama was born in &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Kenya&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; and is perpetrating a humongous fraud and is arrogant enough to think he get away with such an obvious forgery. The second is the Obama was born in &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:state w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Hawaii&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; and is deliberately keeping this issue alive by needlessly playing games in hopes of distracting opponents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In my opinion the truth is the second option. The main reason is that it is the best explanation that explains the facts. This is particularly the fact that the released long form birth certificate is such an obvious fraud that it must have been intended to be discovered so as to perpetuate the myth as a distraction. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sad thing is that the truth will never really be known because those with the authority to find the answers have refused to look investigate and find them. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;A false comparison is made with Barack Obama blaming his poor performance on the economy and other issues as being a result of his lack of executive experience. First of all Obama poor performance is more his ideology that pushed for job killing acts like Obama care and repeated stimulus while threatening job producers with increased taxes and regulations. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;Furthermore Herman Cain has plenty of executive experience in the real world of business where he brought Godfather’s Pizza back from the brink of bankruptcy. His lack of political experience could be a benefit since he will go to the White House not knowing what can’t be done and it’s amazing what on can accomplish when one doesn’t know what one can’t do. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;script src=&quot;http://www.stumbleupon.com/hostedbadge.php?s=5&quot;&gt;

The unconstitutional nature of Obama care stands on two main points. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;The first problem is that the act was passed in violation of &lt;a href=&quot;http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/p/article-i-of-constitution-of-united.html#s7&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Article 1 Section 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of the Constitution which says that all bills that produce revenue have to start in the house; however the bill that congress actually passed originated in the Senate and was passed unchanged by the House. This was done to prevent the bill being killed by a filibuster in the senate that would have resulted if they tried to put it through the senate again. However since Obama care has taxes in it, it is there fore a revenue act and had to start in the House but it did not and therefore is unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;The second problem is the individual mandate that requires individual citizens to purchase Government approved health insurance. This is unconstitutional because of the fact that the Federal Government simply has no such authority to force people to by a product. The excuse given is the &lt;a href=&quot;http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/p/article-i-of-constitution-of-united.html#s8&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;commerce clause&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; which is already the most abused section of the constitution. Every previous claim of power under the &lt;a href=&quot;http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/p/article-i-of-constitution-of-united.html#s8&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;commerce clause&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is based on a person taking action to engage in commerce. On the other hand under Obama care the Federal Government is now making an unprecedented claim of authority over not engaging in commerce by claiming that inaction is action. This is a fallacious claim that can not be allowed to stand since if allowed to stand it would literally give the Federal Government control over every aspect of the lives of every American. They are declaring the authority to dictate how every American spends the fruits of their own labor effectively reducing all of us to a state of forced servitude and slavery which is also a violation of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/p/amendments-11-16-to-constitution-of.html#A13&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;13 Amendment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Obama care is the biggest power grab in the history of the &lt;st1:country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; it is blatantly unconstitutional and if it is not stopped in will destroy and ready weak economy.&lt;br /&gt;

The myth is that through taxes the Government takes the wealth of the rich and redistributes that wealth to the poor to raise them out of poverty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;The idea of wealth redistribution is based on two false assumptions.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The      total amount of wealth in the world is constant. One of the results of      this assumption is the notion that becoming wealthy automatically means      others become poor as a result.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The      rich just sit on their wealth such that it does nothing but make      themselves comfortable. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;The &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;reality is that the total amount of wealth is not constant because &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;the labor to turn raw materials into a product creates wealth that did not exist before. Furthermore since the people supplying that labor are paid they share in the wealth produced by their labor. Furthermore the rich do not just sit on their wealth leaving it in bins of money that they swim around in, they use it to buy things made by others and they invest it in one or more businesses thus providing work for others providing them with wealth they would not otherwise have. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;Not only are these assumptions wrong but in practice most of the wealth taken in the name of wealth redistribution actually goes to those running the redistribution programs what portion the poor actually is just enough to keep them dependent on the system. If you doubt this look at the size of the salaries of bureaucrats some time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;The final blow to this myth comes from look at the automate expression of the idea of wealth redistribution. If you took a population of people and confiscated all material wealth and then redistributed it equally to every one in area so that they all had an equal amount. If you then gave them the freedom to use it as they pleased with in a few years there would once again rich and poor they would not necessarily be the same people as before but the difference would still occur. This is the case because not every one would use their resources the same way. Some would blow their resources all on products the other would produce with their resources. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;This is because material wealth is not the only form of wealth and no government can take away immaterial wealth. Every person as different abilities and they are a form immaterial wealth that one way or other can be used to acquire material wealth. The key is that we all have immaterial wealth and how we use that immaterial wealth often means more than what material wealth we start out with. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;What is important is having the freedom to use your immaterial wealth to its greatest potential. If that freedom is taken away then that immaterial wealth gets wasted. Efforts to redistribute material wealth by force only encourage the squandering of peoples immaterial wealth making them poorer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Myth Busted&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script src=&quot;http://www.stumbleupon.com/hostedbadge.php?s=5&quot;&gt;

Theyl have had a negative effect on the &lt;st1:country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;U. S.&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; economy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;Obama continues to block deep water drilling permits in the Golf Mexico while at the same time aiding countries like &lt;st1:country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Brazil&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; to drill there. This along with other hindrances to oil drilling in the &lt;st1:country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; has kept gasoline prices high and caused the loss of many jobs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;Obama Care has not only caused an increase in health insurance premiums but it is also one of the biggest job killers there is. Business owners have indicated repeatedly that the uncertainties in future expenses created by Obama Care are a major reason for them not hiring.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The so called finance reform act passed by Obama and the Democrats has raised some of the costs of banks doing business which has been passed on to costumers and hampered lending.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Obama has in made a general increased regulations stifle businesses in more ways than can be counted including forcing others out of business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to get Cap and Trade passed Congress Obama has bypassed congress by having the EPA regulate &lt;a href=&quot;http://socyberty.com/issues/the-myth-of-carbon-dioxide-pollution/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Carbon dioxide as a Pollutant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This will inevitably send energy prices though the roof. Obama admitted himself this while running for president when he said that “Energy prices would necessarily sky rocket.” This will harm an already weak economy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Obama has repeatedly pushed to bailout failing big corporations and there by preventing the correction that would have brought the economy back by now if nothing had been done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crony Capitalism where by the Government artificially props up favors companies that can’t survive in the free market. This actually putts other companies at an artificial disadvantage. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Obama is now treating job creators with tax increases through class warfare thus retarding job creation. This is a major part of Obama’s so called jobs bill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Obama continues to push excessive government spending resulting from the previous eight issues sending the federal deficit and debt through the roof.&lt;br /&gt;

That means thinking for your self. It does not mean you believe or think a certain way, in fact it means the exact opposite. The key to being an independent thinker is knowing why you believe what you believe and not believing something just because some one in authority told you to believe it. It means checking out what you are told and rather than just absorbing it like a sponge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;script src=&quot;http://www.stumbleupon.com/hostedbadge.php?s=5&quot;&gt;
&lt;/script&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;Contrary to some claims being an independent thinker does not necessarily mean abandoning one’s faith particularly with Christianity which is based on an individual relationship with God. It may be a problem for some churches or denominations but not for the Christian faith itself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;Independent thinking is hard work since it requires checking out and thinking about what you hear. However the rewards are worth the effort since it is easier to defend a position that you have thought through and know why you think it’s correct as opposed to that’s what I was taught.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;Freedom of thought is the freest right that exists since it transcends physical freedom and circumstances. It is the one right that even the most tyrannical of dictators can not take away by force but has to be surrendered voluntarily. You can be chained in the darkest of dungeons and still be totally free inside your own mind. &lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/feeds/8686006821861239680/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/2011/10/importance-of-being-independent-thinker.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6618149438718780660/posts/default/8686006821861239680'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6618149438718780660/posts/default/8686006821861239680'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/2011/10/importance-of-being-independent-thinker.html' title='The Importance of Being an Independent Thinker'/><author><name>Chuck</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02331155214592041805</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618149438718780660.post-2718029622596938073</id><published>2011-10-17T09:51:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-10-17T09:51:32.031-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="anti-Wall"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="closely"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="event"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="firm"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Foundation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="George"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="homes"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="millionaires"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Occupy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="partnered"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="past"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Proof"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Protesters"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="protests"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="public"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Soros"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="spontaneous"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Street"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tides"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Wall"/><title type='text'>Proof that Occupy Wall Street is not spontaneous</title><content type='html'>It turns out that &lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;Occupy Wall Street has a public relations firm called Fenton Communications that has partnered with George Soros-funded Tides Foundation to push this protest.

A One World Government established as a republic under the principles of individual liberty and individual rights would likely result in an unprecedented level of individual and global wealth and prosperity but there is almost no chance that any One World Government actually established would be based on such principles. There are essentially five ways that a One World Government could come into existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;1. Through global communication the differences between notations fades making it possible for the people of the world to work together establish a One World Government based on generally agreed to principles. This possibility has the best chance of producing a positive&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;global government, but it also has the least chance of actually occurring since any such effort would be quickly taken over by the existing power elite and manipulated to their benefit at the expense of every one else.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;2. Global conquest by a megalomaniacal dictator. While not an impossibility it is highly unlikely that such an attempt would succeed unless he was supported by the existing power elite.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;3. Some major disaster occurs that force the world together for survival. This is unlikely unless a plan is already in place or a potential megalomaniacal dictator is ready to seize power.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;4. The existing power elite put together a plan for a One World Government behind closed doors that is set up for their own benefit at the expense of every one else and implemented so slowly that by the time any one out side power elite knows anything has happened the deal is done. This has a high probability of occurring and could at least theoretically be world we live in.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;5. A combination of the above where the existing power elite put together a plan for a One World Government behind closed doors that is set up for their own benefit at the expense of every one else. They then manipulate world opinions to favor any presented version of the plan. They would then implement this plan by way of a massive global crisis that is ether real or manufactured. At which time they may even install a puppet dictator to make control easier. This is by far the most likely way that a global government would come into place, and it is also the worst and most dangerous form of a global government.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script src=&quot;http://www.stumbleupon.com/hostedbadge.php?s=5&quot;&gt;

Beverly Perdue, suggested suspending congressional elections for two years to allow Congress can focus on economic recovery rather than the next election.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;This notion besides being a violation of the governor’s oath of office to up hold the &lt;a href=&quot;http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/p/constitution-of-united-states.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Constitution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; would not legally work the way she implied. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;First of all elections are run by the individual states and not the Federal Government and there is no way to enforce a federal suspension of elections. The only way they could try would be to send armed troops and shoot any one who tries to vote or operate the poles.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;Let’s say they some how succeeded in stopping the elections then the &lt;a href=&quot;http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/p/constitution-of-united-states.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Constitution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; still makes what her proposal illegal. According to &lt;a href=&quot;http://jrpublius.blogspot.com/p/amendments-17-22-to-constitution-of.html#A20&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;the 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Amendment U.S. Constitution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; the terms of all current house members and 1/3 of the senate end January 3 2013 period. If this dies not change if the election does not occur their offices would simply be vacant. Furthermore Obama’s term as President ends at noon on January 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; 2013 with or with out an election. Therefore without an election Obama would no longer be president as of noon on January 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; 2013. The only legal way a new president could be selected would be for the remaining 2/3 of the senate to elect a new vice president who in the absence of a newly elected president the new vice president would be come President on noon on January 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; 2013. That 2/3 of the senate would be mostly Republicans and so the new President would be a Republican. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;The result is that there is no legal way for a federal suspension of congressional elections would produce the results described by Governor Perdue. It would take a conspiracy of unprecedented proportions to pull off such a stunt, with governments of 50 states going along with it. The result of which would be that there would no longer be a legally constituted federal government and any action take by it would be null and void. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;script src=&quot;http://www.stumbleupon.com/hostedbadge.php?s=5&quot;&gt;

Furthermore when union dues are deducted from an employees pay check a dissatisfied union worker has no recourse if his graveness are not addressed by the &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Union&lt;/st1:place&gt;. He may find himself held hostage to an organization he is forced to associate with just to earn a living.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;Allowing unions to force membership as a condition of employment results in the infringement of an individual’s right to work and negotiate his own pay for his work. Don’t get wrong if workers want to bargain collectively they have every right to do so, but forced participation is wrong,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script src=&quot;http://www.stumbleupon.com/hostedbadge.php?s=5&quot;&gt;
