Arguments for Israel

2010-06-01T06:31:00.000-07:00

Recognizing this, here is a "Four-Point" educational campaign produced by Hasbara Fellowships. Each of the following 10 topics has four bullet-points -- to help deepen our understanding of the major issues of the Mideast conflict.

Settlements:
1) Jews can live in Mexico City, Bangkok, St. Louis, and any city in the world (except in Saudi Arabia) -- but the PA wants to forbid Jews from living in the very cradle of Judaism.

2) The only period in the last 3,000 years without a continued Jewish presence in the West Bank was the 19 years between 1948-1967 when the Jordanian government banned Jews from living there.

3) In 1979, Ariel Sharon dismantled Yamit and other settlements in the Sinai when it was absolutely clear that compromise would bring a true peace.

4) Since the disputed territories were never part of a sovereign nation, and were acquired in a defensive war, international law permits the voluntary settlement of the land. Recognizing this, the Oslo agreements never addressed the issue of Jewish or Arab settlements.

Refugees:
1) There would be no refugee problem if seven Arab nations had not attacked Israel upon its inception in 1948.

2) Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries have consciously chosen to isolate refugees as political pawns,rather than integrate them into a normalized life. UN General Assembly Resolution 194 reads that all governments involved must share responsibility.

3)800,000 Jewish refugees were expelled from Arab countries in 1948, but their descendents are normalized today because they were absorbed by Israel and other countries.

4) As opposed to refugees in Arab countries, Israel integrated Arabs within its borders as citizens, and 1.2 million Israeli Arabs now enjoy citizenship, benefits, and governmental representation in Israel.

Compromises for Peace:
1) Israel signed independent peace treaties with Egypt (1979) and Jordan (1994), each time giving away either land, oil, settlements, or strategic military advantage to achieve a peaceful agreement.

2) Israel gave the Palestinian Authority land, money, weapons, training, and intelligence, all in the hope that the PA would reciprocate with an end to terror and incitement.

3) The very formula "Land for Peace" indicates that Arabs compromise for what they want most -- land, while Israel compromises for what it wants most -- peace.

4) In 1917, 1937, 1947, 1956, 1979, and 1993 Israeli leaders established a pattern of accepting the handover of land in exchange for peace agreements with its Arab neighbors.

Waiting for a true Partner:
1) The real PLO took the Israeli Olympic delegation hostage in the 1972 Munich Olympic games, and after failing to extort the release of Palestinian prisoners, killed 11 Israeli athletes.

2) The real PLO invented the idea of skyjackings in 1970, and instilled fear in travelers across the world.

3) The real PLO shot and killed the elderly, unarmed, wheelchair-bound, U.S. citizen Leon Klinghoffer on the Achille Lauro cruise liner in 1985.

4) The real PLO continues to incite violence against Jews, promote the armed struggle to "liberate all of Palestine," and indoctrinate Palestinian children into a culture of hatred where death is the ultimate prize.

The 3,000-year Jewish connection:
1) The only independent sovereign nations to ever exist in the Land of Israel were the two ancient Jewish commonwealths, the second of which was destroyed in 70 of the common era.

2) For 3,000 years, Jews have expressed the desire to return to their ancestral homeland: at the Passover Seder, the Yom Kippur service, in daily prayer, in the blessing after meals, under the wedding canopy, on the yearly day of national mourning Tisha B'Av, and by placing Israeli soil in the coffin of their deceased.

3) Even after exile, Jews managed to keep a continual presence of Jewish communities in such cities as Jerusalem, Tzfat, Tiberias, Shechem, and Hebron.

4) Centuries before the inception of Islam, Jews were yearning to return to Israel, and the Koran itself records this in many suras (chapters), such as 17:7, 17:104, and 5:21 that tells the Jews to "enter into the Holy Land which Allah has assigned to you."

Holy Sites:
1) When Israel gained control and reunified Jerusalem in 1967, rather than forbid Muslim worship or close the mosques, it allowed the Muslim Waqf (religious authority) to administer and control the Temple Mount and maintain the Al-Aqsa mosque.

2) Under Jordanian rule, Jews were forbidden from praying at the Western Wall; the Mount of Olives cemetery and 58 Jewish synagogues were destroyed. However, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim sites are open to all worshippers under Israeli rule -- except for the site of the ancient Jewish Temple, the Temple Mount, where Jews are normally forbidden to pray.

3) When Israel transferred military control to the PA, angry mobs burned and destroyed Jewish holy sites and religious artifacts at Jericho, Hebron, and Joseph's tomb in Nablus.

4) In 2002, Palestinian terrorists took 30 monks hostage in Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity because they knew Jewish soldiers would not shoot inside. After the hostages were freed, investigators found the Church profaned and desecrated.

Jerusalem:
1) Mecca and Medina are the holiest cities to Muslims; Vatican City is the seat of Catholicism. While Jerusalem has significance to many religions, Jerusalem is supreme and holiest only to the Jews. When it was conquered by Jordan in 1949, no Muslim dignitary or leader visited Jerusalem in any official, public, or religious capacity.

2) Jerusalem has been central to Judaism since biblical times, when it was made the eternal spiritual capital of the Jewish people.

3) Jews have been the majority in Jerusalem since 1840, and there has been a continual Jewish presence in Jerusalem since the destruction of the Temple in the year 70 of the common era.
(Paul Johnson, History of the Jews)

4) Jerusalem is for everyone only when it is in Israeli control.

The UN and International Law:
1) The 1917 Balfour Declaration, the League of Nations Mandate, the 1947 UN Partition Plan, and Israel's 1949 admission into the UN reaffirmed Israel the international right to exist as the Jewish homeland.

2) UN Security Council Resolution 242 reads that Israel should relinquish land only if it is in the context of a "peaceful and accepted settlement."

3) UN Resolution 242 requires that all states in the area recognize Israel's "right to live in peace with secure and recognized borders free from threats or acts of force."

4) Until 2002, Israel was the only UN member state ineligible to sit on the Security Council, and today that right is still only limited and temporary. Since the 1970s, an Arab-Soviet-Third World Bloc reinforced Israel's outcast status by barring Israel from other key UN bodies and making Israel the object of more investigative committees and special representatives than any other state in the UN.

Israel's Excessive Restraint:
1) Israel is facing a serious threat -- Palestinian gunmen have repeatedly fired at civilians and soldiers from hospitals, mosques and schools, using humans as shields and ambulances to transport weaponry.

2) Though the intifada has heaped violence upon Israel, there have been, on average, less than one person injured per Palestinian riot. Israel is currently training 26 other countries in technology it has created to minimize injury in crowd and riot control situations.

3) During "Black September" in Jordan in 1970, 2,500 Palestinian rioters were killed in 10 days by the Jordanian army. In 1993, UN Peacekeeping troops justified the killing of almost 100 Somalis by noting that, "Everyone on the ground in the vicinity was a combatant, because they meant to do us harm."

4) In April 2002, IDF ground forces went door-to-door to target known terrorists in Jenin, rather than use artillery or carpet bomb the city from above. Israel put its own troops at risk and lost 23 of its own soldiers because of this concern to not injure the innocent among its enemies.

Palestinian Lexicon:
1) Hudna: strategic ceasefire engineered to rearm for the next battle, in English it is referred to as a "peace agreement." In the West, we tend to think of a "ceasefire" leading to peace - a Hudna is designed to lead to war.

2) Fatwa: Religiously inspired death warrant on the head of an enemy, all Jews living in Israel have a fatwa issued by Hamas leadership.

3) Occupation: Term describing a Jewish presence in any of the Land of Israel, including Israeli cities such as Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Hadera; in Western media it is tailored to refer only to the West Bank and Gaza.

4) Jihad: The religious struggle to eradicate the Jews from Israel and establish an Islamic society in their stead.

8 Problems with Elena Kagan

2010-05-10T08:41:00.000-07:00

1- Kagan may well have less experience relevant to the work of being a justice than any justice in the last five decades or more. In addition to zero judicial experience, she has only a few years of real-world legal experience. Further, notwithstanding all her years in academia, she has only a scant record of legal scholarship. Kagan flunks her own “threshold” test of the minimal qualifications needed for a Supreme Court nominee.

Well, Obama failed the threshold test of the minimal qualifications needed for a presidential nominee, and got the job anyway. So how's that worked out for America?

2-Kagan is the consummate Obama insider, and her meteoric rise over the last 15 years—from obscure academic and Clinton White House staffer to Harvard law school dean to Supreme Court nominee—would seem to reflect...an “intermarriage of financial and executive branch elites [that] could only have happened in the Clinton years” and that has fostered the dominant financial-political oligarchy in America. In this regard, Kagan’s paid role as a Goldman Sachs adviser is the perfect marker of her status in the oligarchy—and of her unfathomable remoteness from ordinary Americans.

In other words, our lives will be controlled by yet another ivory-tower political elitist. Just what the doctor ordered for the Tea Party nation. Perhaps, though, that is exactly what Obama had in mind...

3- Kagan’s record thus manages to replicate the primary supposed defect of the judicial monastery—isolation from the real-world lives of ordinary Americans—without conferring the broader benefits of judicial experience.

That's a feature, not a bug, to the Democrats and the Obama administration.

4 - Kagan’s exclusion of military recruiters from the Harvard law school campus promises to draw considerable attention precisely because...it amounted to “a statement of national estrangement,” of Kagan’s “alienating [her]self from the country.” In her fervent opposition to the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell law and the Solomon Amendment, Kagan elevated her own ideological commitment on gay rights above what Congress, acting on the advice of military leaders, had determined best served the interests of national security. At a time of war, in the face of the grand civilizational challenge that radical Islam poses, Kagan treated military recruiters worse than she treated the high-powered law firms that were donating their expensive legal services to anti-American terrorists.

Which again, puts her directly in alignment with the Obama/Clinton/Pelosi mindset. And in opposition to about 75% of Americans. But when has this administration acted with regard to anyone save their 25%?

5 - Kagan has argued that the Senate should carefully explore a nominee's views on judicial philosophy generally and on hotly contested constitutional issues in particular. Her argument has special force for someone who has been so guarded about her own views.

Seems to me that Kagen has essentially claimed that the selection of a nominee like herself pretty much demands Congressional interrogation and high scrutiny before such a pick is confirmed. Let's see how our ivory-tower intellectual reacts to being subject to the practice to which she preached. Based on her own writings, less than full disclosure should result in a non-confirmation, or at least a filibuster attempt. A philosophical shift under fire would be quite revealing, and would expose her as a woman who cannot live under the very legal system she preaches. Should this occur, watch for the cries of... "homophobia!"

6 - Kagan’s records from her White House years in the Clinton administration promise to offer important insights into her legal thinking. It makes no sense to schedule her confirmation hearing until it’s clear when those records will be made available.

Since the Obama administration is supposed to be "the most transparent ever", this shouldn't be a problem, right? Hmmm....

7 - Kagan shows signs of moderation on issues of presidential power and national security. But there’s no basis for hopes that she might secretly harbor conservative legal views on other matters

Remember how many conservatives switched to Obama because they believed his lofty rhetoric and felt he'd have to "govern from the center"? Remember that, when the media and the RHINOs are telling you this pick is a "reverse Souter".

8 - From the New York Post, we get these revealing lines:

Kagen...grew up as a "cool smart girl" on the Upper West Side.
it would mark the first time in history the US Supreme Court has not had a Protestant member.
...a pivotal event in her life was getting into elite Hunter College HS.

Her formative years were spent in Manhattan, where she grew up as the middle child in a well-to-do Upper West Side family.
Kagan went on to earn honors at Princeton -- where she was a student leader, along with classmate Eliot Spitzer -- and won a scholarship that sent her to Oxford for a master's degree..

We couldn't find a credible nominee that didn't go to an Ivy League, or other elitist school? (and yes, that should be a badge of shame, being that the Ivy League has been running the nation, and our economy, for the past decade or more). We couldn't find one who wasn't born with a silver spoon in their mouth? We couldn't find one credible candidate anywhere in flyover country - From Pennsylvania to Utah - that, though liberal, might bring a different perspective of life, their nation, and the world to the High Court?

Nope. Another ivory-tower Ivy-league know-it-all, prepared to exclude themselves from the very laws they will force unto us.

Time to man the battlements, folks....

45 Communist Goals

2010-04-28T04:24:00.001-07:00

The Communist Takeover Of America - 45 Declared Goals

[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen] (Written over fifty years ago. We are almost there completely!)

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

Happy Nuke Me Day

2010-04-12T06:34:00.000-07:00

Resident Barack Obama, "spurred" by al-Qaeda’s pursuit of a nuclear bomb and the wider use of atomic energy, opens a summit of 47 nations today aimed at keeping the world’s plutonium and uranium out of terrorists’ hands with the "turn the other cheek approach." He thinks he is Jesus again.

“When the United States first started working to secure nuclear materials overseas, our teams of experts found highly radioactive materials stored in open fields without any security,” Secretary of State Clone Hillary Clinton told an audience at the University of Louisville in Kentucky last week. They saw “the ingredients for nuclear bombs warehoused in facilities without electricity, telephones or armed guards.”

No worries, whatever Bush was unable to wrangle up with his doctrine, is safe in Obama's hands. Riding his magic Unicorn and with the swipe of his magic wand...all will be collected in the distant lands and there is no need to fear, the fields are clear!!!

Obama has said he wants a pledge and a plan from the other leaders at the two-day meeting in Washington on securing nuclear materials within four years.

To succeed, he’ll have to overcome indifference, allegations of interference, the status conferred by atomic weapons and the financial benefits of nuclear trade, according to analysts who follow the issue. You are now watching episode, 666 of Bob the Builder. Can we fix it folks...? Yes we can!!! It is called...magic!!!

The goal of the summit “is getting the international community on the path in which we are locking down that nuclear material in a very specific time frame with a specific work plan,” Obama said. If you build a Utopia Doctrine...they will come.

The summit is the latest step in a series by Obama on one of his foreign policy goals, laying the groundwork for someday eliminating nuclear weapons. The meeting follows his signing of a treaty with Russia last week to further cut their atomic weapons and the unveiling of an administration doctrine that reduces the role of nuclear arms in the U.S.’s defense strategy and makes preventing nuclear terrorism a top priority. Can we trust Russia...? Friend of Iran? Yes we can!!! Just like Stalin!!!

Pakistan and Russia have some of the biggest risks because of gaps in security and the potential for access by insiders who are either corrupted or sympathetic to militant groups...or a Socialist Agenda. ;)

Research reactors fueled by highly enriched uranium, many housed on university campuses with minimal security, also present a threat. And we all know Bin Laden is the authorized amender of the Koran. Before you know it, you are not a good Muslim without the knowledge to build such.

Earlier this year, peace activists exposed the vulnerabilities of stockpiles when they broke into a nuclear weapons base in Belgium. No worries...no fanatic Muslims live there.

But, they do live in Middle Eastern nations pursuing nuclear power for energy such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar will add to the supply of potentially vulnerable raw materials, specialists say. However, Utopia is secure.

Not all countries are convinced of the danger, said former Ambassador Gregory Schulte, who was the U.S. representative at the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna from 2005 to 2009. Syria constructed a reactor in the desert “and no one notices for five years, until Israel bombed the reactor in September 2007.” Schulte said. Maybe this is why Schulte was the U.S. representative at the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna from 2005 to 2009. Seemed to me, he don't believe in the Utopie-ippitie.

So, I declare this Happy Nuke Me Day. In the land of the so called free, Utopia will save us from radiation poisoning.

Sing with me!!! Who let the Nukes out!!! Boom, boom - Boom, boom - Ca' BOOM!!!

As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked and if he does, he must commit suicide. So next Saturday at 1 PM Eastern Time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists.

Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort.
All patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their houses to demonstrate their support for the women and to prove that they are not Muslim terrorist sympathizers. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack at your side is further proof of your patriotism.

The American government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity. God bless America !

P.S.. It is your patriotic duty to inform others. If you don't send to at least 1 person, you're a terrorist-sympathizing, lily-livered coward and are possibly aiding and abetting terrorists!

Political Panic in Poland

2010-04-10T10:03:00.000-07:00

The deaths of the Polish president, army chief of staff, national bank president, deputy foreign minister and some of the country's highest military and civilian leaders in a tragic plane crash have changed the political landscape of Poland.

A government spokesman said a presidential election was to be scheduled to find a replacement to Lech Kaczynski, as the Polish government was scheduled to hold an emergency meeting in Warsaw early Saturday afternoon.

President Lech Kaczynski was leading a delegation of 88 people on Saturday to an event marking the 70th anniversary of the massacre of thousands of Polish officers by Soviet secret police, when their plane went down in Russia.

A government spokesman told Reuters on Saturday that a presidential election was to be scheduled to find a replacement for Kaczynski, as the Polish government was scheduled to hold an emergency meeting in Warsaw early Saturday afternoon. The Polish constitution says the election date must be announced within two weeks and the election must take place within two months of the announcement.

Bronislaw Komorowski, head of the Polish lower house, is expected to take over presidential duties. His office announced he was on his way to Warsaw Saturday.

Komorowski, a 57-year-old former anti-communist dissident from an aristocratic family, was the official candidate of the liberal Civic Platform (PO). Opinion polls had suggested Komorowski, Prime Minister Donald Tusk's centrist candidate, may have won the next presidential race against Kaczynski.

During Kaczynski's presidency, he pursued a strongly pro-U.S. foreign policy, in accordance with a cross-party consensus that has grown in Poland since the fall of communism. He was an enthusiastic backer of plans to build a U.S. missile defense facility in the country, the largest of the European Union's new eastern members.

Poland's former president, Lech Walesa, said the death of Kaczynski and the other passengers on the plane was "an inconceivable tragedy."

"Jesus, Holy Mary, it's an inconceivable tragedy, an inconceivable disaster," he cried after learning Kaczynski died during the crash.

Jacek Wasilewski of the Warsaw's Higher School of Social Psychology said the president's death will "have a huge impact on the elections."

"The political consequences will be long term and possibly will change the entire future landscape of Polish politics," Wasilewski told Reuters.

Salute to Poland

2010-04-10T09:51:00.000-07:00

Prayers everyone, Polish President Lech Kaczynski and some of the country's highest military and civilian leaders died on Saturday in a plane crash in Russia. We've lost 97 "Pro-West" power players and great people.

After reading this, the first thing that came into my thoughts were the stories of the Polish troops serving in Afghanistan with our troops. One particular soldier couldn't stop bragging about them when he came home.

He spoke about being amazed at their loyalty to America and the spreading of freedom. The Polish troops would actually stand in the line of fire and go out of their way, not to protect their own but to protect the American soldiers. When the battles would end, the American troops would ask, "Why in the world would you guys do this?!?!"

The Polish troops would always reply in the nature of, "Without America, the world has nothing else left to save and protect it. The Polish can't do everything, ya' know?"

They acknowledged the troops and their humanity too. They saw that our troops were not gun totting in-humane monsters. So, thank a Polish soldier if and when you should get the chance to. (Thank their people too, their families are hurting too when they lose their soldiers.)

None the less...they are some tough SOB's too. These bad boys would walk around in T' Shirts and AK47's. They would say hold the bullet proof vest, I can do more damage to the enemy with out one. Helmets...? Nope, they didn't want to be bothered with them. They would acknowledge their tough skulls and joke about the obvious. "You don't need to be smart to pull a trigger," one Polish soldier said.

However, like they acknowledged...us Americans are humane. And on this sad day, April 10, 2010 our thoughts and prayers are with them.

May their great 97 leaders rest in peace and spread the damage to the enemy from the other side...Polish style!!!

Amen...salute to you Poland.

You are young and don’t want health insurance? You are starting up a small business and need to minimize expenses, and one way to do that is to forego health insurance? Tough. You have to pay $750 annually for the “privilege.” (Section 1501)

You are young and healthy and want to pay for insurance that reflects that status? Tough. You’ll have to pay for premiums that cover not only you, but also the guy who smokes three packs a day, drink a gallon of whiskey and eats chicken fat off the floor. That’s because insurance companies will no longer be able to underwrite on the basis of a person’s health status. (Section 2701)

You would like to pay less in premiums by buying insurance with lifetime or annual limits on coverage? Tough. Health insurers will no longer be able to offer such policies, even if that is what customers prefer. (Section 2711).

Think you’d like a policy that is cheaper because it doesn’t cover preventive care or requires cost-sharing for such care? Tough. Health insurers will no longer be able to offer policies that do not cover preventive services or offer them with cost-sharing, even if that’s what the customer wants. (Section 2712)

You are an employer and you would like to offer coverage that doesn’t allow your employers’ slacker children to stay on the policy until age 26? Tough. (Section 2714).

You must buy a policy that covers ambulatory patient services, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment; prescription drugs; rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices; laboratory services; preventive and wellness services; chronic disease management; and pediatric services, including oral and vision care.You’re a single guy without children? Tough, your policy must cover pediatric services. You’re a woman who can’t have children? Tough, your policy must cover maternity services. You’re a teetotaler? Tough, your policy must cover substance abuse treatment. (Add your own violation of personal freedom here.) (Section 1302).

Do you want a plan with lots of cost-sharing and low premiums? Well, the best you can do is a “Bronze plan,” which has benefits that provide benefits that are actuarially equivalent to 60% of the full actuarial value of the benefits provided under the plan. Anything lower than that, tough. (Section 1302 (d) (1) (A)

You are an employer in the small-group insurance market and you’d like to offer policies with deductibles higher than $2,000 for individuals and $4,000 for families? Tough. (Section 1302 (c) (2) (A)

If you are a large employer (defined as at least 101 employees) and you do not want to provide health insurance to your employee, then you will pay a $750 fine per employee (It could be $2,000 to $3,000 under the reconciliation changes). Think you know how to better spend that money? Tough. (Section 1513)

You are an employer who offers health flexible spending arrangements and your employees want to deduct more than $2,500 from their salaries for it? Sorry, can’t do that. (Section 9005 (i)).

If you are a physician and you don’t want the government looking over your shoulder? Tough. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is authorized to use your claims data to issue you reports that measure the resources you use, provide information on the quality of care you provide, and compare the resources you use to those used by other physicians. Of course, this will all be just for informational purposes. It’s not like the government will ever use it to intervene in your practice and patients’ care. Of course not. (Section 3003 (i))

If you are a physician and you want to own your own hospital, you must be an owner and have a “Medicare provider agreement” by Feb. 1, 2010. (Dec. 31, 2010 in the reconciliation changes.) If you didn’t have those by then, you are out of luck. (Section 6001 (i) (1) (A)

If you are a physician owner and you want to expand your hospital? Well, you can’t (Section 6001 (i) (1) (B). Unless, it is located in a country where, over the last five years, population growth has been 150% of what it has been in the state (Section 6601 (i) (3) ( E)). And then you cannot increase your capacity by more than 200% (Section 6001 (i) (3) (C)).

You are a health insurer and you want to raise premiums to meet costs? Well, if that increase is deemed “unreasonable” by the Secretary of Health and Human Services it will be subject to review and can be denied. (Section 1003)

The government will extract a fee of $2.3 billion annually from the pharmaceutical industry. If you are a pharmaceutical company what you will pay depends on the ratio of the number of brand-name drugs you sell to the total number of brand-name drugs sold in the U.S. So, if you sell 10% of the brand-name drugs in the U.S., what you pay will be 10% multiplied by $2.3 billion, or $230,000,000. (Under reconciliation, it starts at $2.55 billion, jumps to $3 billion in 2012, then to $3.5 billion in 2017 and $4.2 billion in 2018, before settling at $2.8 billion in 2019 (Section 1404)). Think you, as a pharmaceutical executive, know how to better use that money, say for research and development? Tough. (Section 9008 (b)).

The government will extract a fee of $2 billion annually from medical device makers. If you are a medical device maker what you will pay depends on your share of medical device sales in the U.S. So, if you sell 10% of the medical devices in the U.S., what you pay will be 10% multiplied by $2 billion, or $200,000,000. Think you, as a medical device maker, know how to better use that money, say for R&D? Tough. (Section 9009 (b)).The reconciliation package turns that into a 2.9% excise tax for medical device makers. Think you, as a medical device maker, know how to better use that money, say for research and development? Tough. (Section 1405)

The government will extract a fee of $6.7 billion annually from insurance companies. If you are an insurer, what you will pay depends on your share of net premiums plus 200% of your administrative costs. So, if your net premiums and administrative costs are equal to 10% of the total, you will pay 10% of $6.7 billion, or $670,000,000. In the reconciliation bill, the fee will start at $8 billion in 2014, $11.3 billion in 2015, $1.9 billion in 2017, and $14.3 billion in 2018 (Section 1406).Think you, as an insurance executive, know how to better spend that money? Tough.(Section 9010 (b) (1) (A and B).)

If an insurance company board or its stockholders think the CEO is worth more than $500,000 in deferred compensation? Tough.(Section 9014)

You will have to pay an additional 0.5% payroll tax on any dollar you make over $250,000 if you file a joint return and $200,000 if you file an individual return. What? You think you know how to spend the money you earned better than the government? Tough. (Section 9015).That amount will rise to a 3.8% tax if reconciliation passes. It will also apply to investment income, estates, and trusts. You think you know how to spend the money you earned better than the government? Like you need to ask. (Section 1402)

If you go for cosmetic surgery, you will pay an additional 5% tax on the cost of the procedure. Think you know how to spend that money you earned better than the government? Tough. (Section 9017).

Dear Sir or Madam;

My records indicate that as of today, you owe me $41,377.00 and you are past due.

Kindly stop stealing my money and spending it. If this continues, I will forced to place a judgment against your name and file a report of theft.

Due to the fact since we started to bill you 60 days ago and you are 60 days past due, I am forced to apply a 12% interest rate as a late fee. This is in honor of the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants you plan to pardon and bill me for in the future.

There is no longer a debate as to whether or not you owe me my money. You signed the bill. It is evidence of your theft. I will seek counsel if it should continue.

Very truly yours,
Tax Slave
Your Tax Slave
“WE THE PEOPLE”
Who exactly...None of your business.

P.S. Thank you for your service. You are no longer needed, you will be replaced November of 2010. We wish you the best and do hope you stop stealing our money.

The Manchurian Change is not American.

2010-04-08T07:52:00.000-07:00

You voted for him and now "WE THE PEOPLE" will get rid of him.
The Manchurian Change is not American.
I can't see, I can't be just me...and I am fed up with you taxing me.
Over and over and now it is under my skin.
All this socialist attention is going to do you in.
I felt the hate rise up in me and see it linger in you.
I will not stand here and wait to bleed.
The time is at hand and the Conservatives are in the lead.
I am the very disease you pretend to be.
What the hell does a Socialist 6,000 Sniper Team have anything to do with Freedom.
I'm picking through the parts exposed; we see right through your Socialist Code.
I wear you like a stain, yet I'm the one who's obscene.
No, no sweetheart don't twist the words coming from me...we are the ones who support Peace.
But in deed, This is The Second American Revolution.
May God hold it to remain peaceful, but don't think for once second I am not clinging to God, Guns, Guts and Glory. Do not dismiss me, you liberal thieves.
Pay attention to your twisted little indiscretions, we are the Conservative Revolution.
Your consolation is a lie, the Death Panels will do nothing but help us die.
Your isolation is my course.
The effect it has on life itself is a cancer on its source.
"WE THE PEOPLE" will rule the moments spent between the fetish and the flame.
Until this political war is over I won't ever lose my rage.
Tax enslaving will lead to nothing but to a fatal decline.
I've been waiting for this to unfold, but the pieces are only as good as the whole.
What the hell are you looking at? I'll tell you what you're looking at. Everyone you ever friggen' laughed at.

The Manchurian Change is not American.
"WE THE PEOPLE" coming for you, April the 15th.

"The Sandralee" who's that girl?

2010-04-07T18:40:00.000-07:00

I'm a moderate right wing nut job, thank you very much. Immaculately polished with the spirit of Jesus Christ who has no morals when it comes to war, screw them all. I am allergic to the counterfeit conservatives, never the less, not impartial to the politics. I'm an articulate little scrappy thing with a lycanthrope alter ego, whom I call Little Miss Barky von Bite Schnauzer White; no worries...I hold onto my Prozac very tight. I believe in reconciliation but when that doesn't work...just melt a face on Happy Nuke Me Day. I handle myself pretty damn well in the game of politics but I am not in love with all of it. The values are in a disarrayed, un-prioritized liberals live on capital gains now of days; just for the simple fact they are piss poor on morality. I stand with those who scream all about the Tea Party and tell the liberals ignoring all prior advise and forewarnings they made who they call today, "The Sandralee." So, now I just may be a little too full of myself all of the sudden but hey, I'm The Sandralee!!!

Yes, I am a sick and twisted individual. If you get the scrappy smart sass humor and can find the snide jabs I make at you, mom and I...Welcome, said The Sandralee.

Now Sing It!!!
Well I’m doin my time due to circumstance.
Crossed that bridge, face the consequence.
Once bid 10, now I payed my dues.
Risk takers we break the rules.
Gets so dark, but I see good.
Bedstuy stay high in my neck of the woods.
Now let it rain now, it’s a warning.
Brooklyn let it be sworn in.
Gotta make you think workin like we blue collar
rip it to the core, underneath it all we harder
right until we quit, bring it to the floor.

One step, one step, give it up more
the road is rough and the streets a mess;
got big cash dreams and a sick death wish
robbin out the commercial stash
to kill the voice screaming in my head!!!

Can you tell me who's lyrics are those and whom else I have paid homage to?

My friend Johnny calls me Nas, short for Nastradamus because of all of my riddles in my the writing and short for a little can of verbal whoop Nitrous Sass-aide. But at the end of the day, I am just silly ole' me, Sandralee.

P.S. and Little Miss Barky von Bite Schnauzer White.

Liberal Armstrong - What A Wonderful World Lyrics

2010-04-07T12:59:00.000-07:00

I see trees of green, and Socialist Snipers too.
I see them hunt...for me and you.
And I think to myself...what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue, and Free Health Care too.
The bright blessed day, when Unicorns pay for it, not me and you.
And I think to myself...what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow...so pretty in the sky, thank Allah or die.
But they are also on the covered Burka face of Anne Coulter, not just you and I.

I see liberal friends...shaking hands, saying "How do you do?"
They're really saying I love you and your tax money too.
And I think to myself...what a wonderful world.

I hear babies cry, I watch them die...inside the womb, of you and I.
And I think to myself...what a wonderful world.

And I think to myself, Thank you Resident Obama...what a wonderful world.

Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world!!!

Only Amnesty For Me

2010-04-06T17:19:00.000-07:00

I have come to the conclusion that rounding up 12+ Million Illegal Mexican Immigrants is going to be an impossible task. So! I have come up with a solution!!! Hold on, don't dismiss me just yet. Maybe you can digest and one day accept it.

First and foremost, prepare a GREEN colored National ID Card for them. Including the requirements of finger prints. Call them, "Extended Citizens."

Then create digitalized Social Security Cards for us, like a drivers license. With LIMITED information such as pictures, date of birth, description, etc. They can leave our finger prints alone.

Next up! Racial profiling!!! Well, more like "Language Profiling." If and when a cop or ICE should come along these slippery little suckers, they should profile the Language. If it is obvious they are unable to speak English like a natural born citizen when (issuing the ID) or stopping one, there is no excuse for "racial" profile finger pointing because we are going to profile the broken English.

Note, let's not forget many of the Illegal Mexicans were all okay with Muslims being profiled after 09-11-2001. What comes around, goes around!!!

If blonde haired 5 foot 9 inch woman were running around killing people, stealing ID's, etc. I would have no problem spending a few extra moments while authorities are profiling me!!! It is just like we all really would rather the tight security in air ports, even if 10 years later we moan and groan about it.

Now, give the Green Card Extentend Citizen Card Holders ONLY 90 days notice to come out of the shadows. All those without one thereon, gets the boot!!!

This of course after we build 900 foot high walls on our borders.

However, what I am getting to is that we should create a whole separate system for them. Let the extended citizens pay their taxes and pay for their own socialized welfare and see how they like it. Let's see how they like it when their fellow former aliens start ripping their identity from them.

Hold on!!! It gets better!!!

After the extended citizen pays his or her taxes, add on 35% of a flat tax to reimburse us for all the welfare we have provided over the years. Yes, an additional 35% more in taxes. They will start to think twice about wanting to make money here and/or sending it back home. Will it really be worth it?

Now, all of you who have suffered from identity theft, get 2% of that tax to pay off the debt and wipe your credit scores clean. Courtesy of the Red, White and Green Card holders.

Here me out people...I am not finished!!! Don't dismiss me yet!!!

Make our extended citizens pay an additional 35% flat tax for 20 years to earn regular citizenship. As for their kids born here...well, punish them for it!!! Punish the parents!!! Any one linked to a child born illegally in the states is required to pay an additional 2% flat tax too per child, both the mother and father.

The extra money paid by the mothers goes to cover the 2% provided to cover the identify theft plus the extra 2% paid by fathers can fund all the elder illegals who simply can not work and may get dumped into a nursing home.

But no worries, if this does not cover the costs...let the fines take care of the rest!!! If they get pulled over for speeding, get parking tickets, etc. then they should have to pay an additional 35% of the normal fine you and I would pay. If it is not paid on time, then tack on yet one more 35% in an interest fee.

We can go on and on for hours on how to absorb the costs but the Language problem is next up for debate.

All extended citizens must be required to take a proper English class and pay for the service out of pocket. For every year they do not pass, they must pay an additional $1,000 in taxes.

Then let's pass our own bill. If they want to force health care on us, we should force the Language on them. Our brand new Amnesty bill will require companies to charge an additional 12% sales tax if Spanish Services are provided and a 12% tax on the corporation. Watch how fast these corporation do not accommodate them anymore.

So tell me what you think. Maybe taxing people to death won't be so bad.

Watch Mexico's population increase too!!!

The Citizens Amendment

2010-04-06T07:09:00.000-07:00

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution

"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."

We the people have been too complacent for too long about the workings of our Congress. It is time we make ourselves heard. Many citizens have no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they do not pay into Social Security, or that they specifically have, and will continue to, exempt themselves from many of the laws they pass that all other citizens must live by (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment). The latest is to exempt themselves from the Health Care Reform that is being considered...in all of its forms. That doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly do not care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or another. The self-serving must stop. Our politicians must be held accountable.

This is a good way to do that. It is an idea whose time is long over due.

The only problem with this amendment is that it would have to be introduced in the same house and senate chambers harboring the same political criminals who would be affected by it. What do you think the chances are this would ever see the light of day?

However, it doesn't matter. It fires people up. It sends a message that 'WE THE PEOPLE' are fed up!!!

Spread the word!!!

In light of the exemption congress made for not only itself, but also all of its staffers and other personnel, including the president and his family and all their staff …..the message is clear. Those exempted from this horrendous health care bill are the “elite” either by fortune or by office and as such will not be subjected to the same invasive overtaking of healthcare by the government. With this elitism in mind, I offer you this amendment to the Constitution for the (50) United States.

Enough is enough!!!

Obama Created Army (SS) Socialist Sniper

2010-04-06T05:25:00.000-07:00

With the use of "military" language enclosed in your 2,700 FREE Healthcare Bill, as some of you know; Resident Obama has provided himself a 6,000 ARMED "private" Army. No people, we are not having a tin foil hat moment here.

I am calling this Obama's Socialist Sniper team, because that is exactly what it lurching in the shadows people.

The Squatter in Chief is very scared of something boiling over I assume? Why does the Nation with the biggest and strongest military to date need a private branch for the President only? The National Guard was set up for the States and it's Governors. Unless war has been declared, the President can not pull them for his private use. I say private use, because our politicians treat our Government as such and do as they damn well please.

Thereon; at last resort the 2nd Amendment was also a helping hand to the Government, not to just protect the citizens from it's Government. If and when our Military was unable to provide such security, the 2nd Amendment allows the Government one last stance on protecting it's land and it's people.

Liberals cry in defense for their example, that if a second 09-11-2001 (May God not allow it) happens, this would come into place. The Resident would not use it for any other reason but to protect "his" people. Well, I say that if you didn't take our 2nd Amendment rights away in so many areas, this is not needed nor do I trust this man. His record proves for itself in every argument.

As of April 05, 2010 the Resident in Chief announced that we no longer need Nuclear Weapons and it is his mission to eventually get rid of all of them. If and when needed for self defense, there is no need because the Unicorns will swipe down from the heavens and rescue us. We now live in Obama Utopia Land.

So...let me get this straight. You bow in the presence of what you see as greatness, Mr. Obama. Then you sell out our National Security from one end of the globe to the other. Thereon, you'll wave your magic wands over our Nukes for a "poof be gone" moment and you have to protect Americans from themselves? Seriously, I am not joking here Resident Obama...what side are you on?

Now, the 6,000 count just doesn't end their folks! The language also provides him powers to take from the National Guard as he damn well pleases. Oh wait, it gets better...if and when during "war" time, he also can tell these troops when he thinks it is okay for them to retire. Did I just hear the word "slave" in the echoes again? The language reads according to their "talents" such as doctors, nurses, supply truckers...oh, and tankers, gunners, etc. Someone please tell me when Tony Soprano obtained tanks? I am lost, when did the scrappy Americans become so damned armed and powerful? When did they pose such a threat to their own security?

Oh never mind...That is right, The Second American Revolution is on it's way and Obama plans to out beat Lincoln in the history books. Well, Obama guess again. The South will rise again and every damn fed up Yankee who are sick of your Liberal ways will join them. Bring on your "SS" Sir, Hitler fell once and will fall again.

Success with humility makes a deadly combination, that is what being "American" is all about Obama. Eighty percent of success is merely showing up. If you haven't noticed yet, we have been showing up a lot lately on your front lawns. Thereon, we will show up in the polls. And, May God hold it to remain peaceful, if needed we will show up to The Second American Revolution.

Lock and load as you wish but wise men study their enemy first and we've got your number.

Vaseline Queen Says Nuke Me Please

2010-04-05T23:51:00.000-07:00

Whether you like George W. Bush or not; you have to admit his "ways" kept us safe.

Now with Resident Obama in charge, not only have we been attacked or the attempt of such has taken place but we are "Vaseline Queens" lately. He may be bowing down to the dear leaders of his choice but we need to demand that we do NOT bend over anymore and take it hard when it comes to our security. Excuse the harsh language people, but 09-11-2001 can happen again.

After the announcement of such agreements with Russia to reduce nuclear arms stockpiles, he unleashed plans to unveil a nuclear weapons strategy Tuesday, because like his fairy tale friend Al Gore said..."If the United States does something about an issue, all will follow along." That is right folks! Tomorrow, expect Kumbya from the powers unbeknown to us follow the same route! That is right, Pakistan and India will become best of friends tomorrow and will un-arm, because Americans are doing it too!!! Yup!!! Even China will no longer pose a threat to Japan!!!

White picket fences for everyone, spring like weather all year round with the fluttering wings of a butterfly to dance across our view and unicorns are real too you know?!?!?!

Nope, not even for self defense he said. The Squatter in Chief has sold us out yet again and might as well hand over the codes to the "football." For those who don't know what that is, please Google the football every president carries around.

Where does it end, when does it end...? After I pick my face up off the ground screaming from surviving a nuclear blast? Enough is enough.

Mr. Delusional in Chief himself is hosting dozens of world leaders in a nuclear security summit in Washington next week. I wonder what is on the table as deal breakers?

Free Health Care for the dear leaders...or maybe Social Security funded by you and I?

Oh no!!! I know!!! After he allows 12+ Million of Illegal Mexican Immigrants to become natural born citizens like himself...he will offer the dear leaders to take 12 Million of their citizens off of their bank rolls. Provided by you and I of course...priceless!!!

Not only are we going to work our butts off to provide National Welfare but maybe Global Welfare too; more than what is already provided. All in the name of delusional Kumbya!!!

Hold hands people and sing...Global Delusional Peace is up next~!!!

The Declaration of Independence

2010-04-05T23:36:00.002-07:00

The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies
In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor. The signers of the Declaration represented the new states as follows: New Hampshire: Josiah Bartlett, William Whipple, Matthew Thornton Massachusetts: John Hancock, Samual Adams, John Adams, Robert Treat Paine, Elbridge Gerry Rhode Island: Stephen Hopkins, William Ellery Connecticut: Roger Sherman, Samuel Huntington, William Williams, Oliver Wolcott New York: William Floyd, Philip Livingston, Francis Lewis, Lewis Morris New Jersey: Richard Stockton, John Witherspoon, Francis Hopkinson, John Hart, Abraham Clark Pennsylvania: Robert Morris, Benjamin Rush, Benjamin Franklin, John Morton, George Clymer, James Smith, George Taylor, James Wilson, George Ross Delaware: Caesar Rodney, George Read, Thomas McKean Maryland: Samuel Chase, William Paca, Thomas Stone, Charles Carroll of Carrollton Virginia: George Wythe, Richard Henry Lee, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Harrison, Thomas Nelson, Jr., Francis Lightfoot Lee, Carter Braxton North Carolina: William Hooper, Joseph Hewes, John Penn South Carolina: Edward Rutledge, Thomas Heyward, Jr., Thomas Lynch, Jr., Arthur Middleton Georgia: Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall, George Walton

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

NOTES

Note 1: This text of the Constitution follows the engrossed copy signed by Gen. Washington and the deputies from 12 States. The small superior figures preceding the paragraphs designate Clauses, and were not in the original and have no reference to footnotes.

The Constitution was adopted by a convention of the States on September 17, 1787, and was subsequently ratified by the several States, on the following dates: Delaware, December 7, 1787; Pennsylvania, December 12, 1787; New Jersey, December 18, 1787; Georgia, January 2, 1788; Connecticut, January 9, 1788; Massachusetts, February 6, 1788; Maryland, April 28, 1788; South Carolina, May 23, 1788; New Hampshire, June 21, 1788.

Ratification was completed on June 21, 1788.

The Constitution was subsequently ratified by Virginia, June 25, 1788; New York, July 26, 1788; North Carolina, November 21, 1789; Rhode Island, May 29, 1790; and Vermont, January 10, 1791.

In May 1785, a committee of Congress made a report recommending an alteration in the Articles of Confederation, but no action was taken on it, and it was left to the State Legislatures to proceed in the matter. In January 1786, the Legislature of Virginia passed a resolution providing for the appointment of five commissioners, who, or any three of them, should meet such commissioners as might be appointed in the other States of the Union, at a time and place to be agreed upon, to take into consideration the trade of the United States; to consider how far a uniform system in their commercial regulations may be necessary to their common interest and their permanent harmony; and to report to the several States such an act, relative to this great object, as, when ratified by them, will enable the United States in Congress effectually to provide for the same. The Virginia commissioners, after some correspondence, fixed the first Monday in September as the time, and the city of Annapolis as the place for the meeting, but only four other States were represented, viz: Delaware, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania; the commissioners appointed by Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Rhode Island failed to attend. Under the circumstances of so partial a representation, the commissioners present agreed upon a report, (drawn by Mr. Hamilton, of New York,) expressing their unanimous conviction that it might essentially tend to advance the interests of the Union if the States by which they were respectively delegated would concur, and use their endeavors to procure the concurrence of the other States, in the appointment of commissioners to meet at Philadelphia on the Second Monday of May following, to take into consideration the situation of the United States; to devise such further provisions as should appear to them necessary to render the Constitution of the Federal Government adequate to the exigencies of the Union; and to report such an act for that purpose to the United States in Congress assembled as, when agreed to by them and afterwards confirmed by the Legislatures of every State, would effectually provide for the same.

Congress, on the 21st of February, 1787, adopted a resolution in favor of a convention, and the Legislatures of those States which had not already done so (with the exception of Rhode Island) promptly appointed delegates. On the 25th of May, seven States having convened, George Washington, of Virginia, was unanimously elected President, and the consideration of the proposed constitution was commenced. On the 17th of September, 1787, the Constitution as engrossed and agreed upon was signed by all the members present, except Mr. Gerry of Massachusetts, and Messrs. Mason and Randolph, of Virginia. The president of the convention transmitted it to Congress, with a resolution stating how the proposed Federal Government should be put in operation, and an explanatory letter. Congress, on the 28th of September, 1787, directed the Constitution so framed, with the resolutions and letter concerning the same, to "be transmitted to the several Legislatures in order to be submitted to a convention of delegates chosen in each State by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the convention."

On the 4th of March, 1789, the day which had been fixed for commencing the operations of Government under the new Constitution, it had been ratified by the conventions chosen in each State to consider it, as follows: Delaware, December 7, 1787; Pennsylvania, December 12, 1787; New Jersey, December 18, 1787; Georgia, January 2, 1788; Connecticut, January 9, 1788; Massachusetts, February 6, 1788; Maryland, April 28, 1788; South Carolina, May 23, 1788; New Hampshire, June 21, 1788; Virginia, June 25, 1788; and New York, July 26, 1788.

The President informed Congress, on the 28th of January, 1790, that North Carolina had ratified the Constitution November 21, 1789; and he informed Congress on the 1st of June, 1790, that Rhode Island had ratified the Constitution May 29, 1790. Vermont, in convention, ratified the Constitution January 10, 1791, and was, by an act of Congress approved February 18, 1791, "received and admitted into this Union as a new and entire member of the United States."

Note 2: The part of this Clause relating to the mode of apportionment of representatives among the several States has been affected by Section 2 of amendment XIV, and as to taxes on incomes without apportionment by amendment XVI.
