The One Bill

Congress

Congress

One Bill to rule us all,
One Bill to find us,
One Bill to bring us all
and in the darkness bind us……

Sorry I couldn’t resist. This is what came to mind as I watched the Speaker of the House prance about with a giant gavel cradled in her arms. She was making her historic march to the Capital Building to vote for the government usurpation of what equals One Sixth of “Their” nations economy. I say to “THEIR nations economy” because; to the Democrats in Congress governing against the will of the people is their job. This particular breed of Wahingtard  believes that they know whats good for us better than we ourselves do. Therefore it’s their economy and their country not ours because the will of the people is no longer a matter worthy of consideration. I digress, Speaker Pelosi and her fellow Washingtards made their historic march in the midst of thousands of protesters chanting “Kill the Bill, Kill the Bill, Kill the Bill, Kill the Bill” uncaring. For they have transcended the will of the people. No longer do they need the acceptance of “We the People.”

Thousands in Washington and Millions at home looked on as this  flotsam and jetsam, (look it up), these pirates of the Constitution, usurped our Constitution of the freedoms and liberties bestowed within it; the supposed inalienable  rights of All Americans. I find it ironic that the Washington onlookers are commonly known to all as the Tea Party activists. It creates a powerful image in my mind when I think of a well known quote: “Those who fail to remember history are doomed to repeat it.” Ask yourself what followed the Boston Tea Party? Revolution that’s what; revolution  that perpetrated violence  against an oppressive government.

While Liberal Democrats taut their great victory over the will of the people from atop a pedestal upon which they believe themselves to be untouchable Republicans and Conservatives alike hear the soft whisper in the distance, a breeze from the heartland, a breeze recognized by all who are willing to listen as the winds of change soon to be sweeping through Washington to cleanse us of these corrupted bastard sons and daughters of our Constitution.

The Washingtards, blind to the cries of their constituents followed through with this abomination of law and claimed victory. But victory over whom? Over the Republicans? Over the so called Bluedog Democrats? No they claim victory over the American people! This is an issue far bigger than the petty differences of the mental midgets in Washington.

Welcome to the new world. Not discovered by Christopher Columbus, but created by Liberal Democrats in Washington so they may rule on high.

Not So Fast

Many governors of these United States are preparing already to challenge the Authority of Congress to pass such legislation onto each individual state and their citizens.

According to Foxnews:

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum also announced that he and top prosecutors from 10 other states are filing a lawsuit to “protect the rights” of the American people from the bill.

“The health care reform legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives this last night clearly violates the U.S. Constitution and infringes on each state’s sovereignty,” McCollum said in a statement.

Attention Washingtards read the Tenth Ammendment!

At least three dozen state legislatures are considering proposals to challenge the federal legislation. Some are pursuing amendments to their constitutions by ballot question; others are looking to change state law.

YES! What all this means is that Congress is breaking the law by passing this bill.

The president could put a stop to such a seizure of power simply by not signing the bill. We all know that won’t happen, it only proves that he is as guilty as those who passed this bill into law. His hands are dirty in this there is no one  else for him to blame he could simply refuse to sign it. By signing this bill he becomes a party to this crime against America.

If Congress is permitted to force the citizens of this country to buy insurance against there will whats next? The requirement to buy a MG car?

All in all the American people have the upper hand in this war on the Constitution. We hold the power to remove these destroyers of liberty from Congress. It is now up to the voters to do the job. November is coming up fast. Only We the People can take back our country before it becomes The Peoples Republic of Amerika.

It is time to take back America while it still exists in our hearts and minds. Lets Roll!

Congress makes it a Cracked World!

Charles Rangel Can’t Take the Heat

Politics | Posted by C.C.Mitchell
Mar 04 2010

I have been waiting for this moment for a while now.  Back in October Cracked World reported on the many nefarious notions of the of the House Rep. from New York when the Republicans tried to have him removed from his chairmanship. If you’d like to refresh your memory on that one look no further. Republicans Chide House Rep. Charles Rangel.

Charles Rangel of The House Ways of Thieves Committee

Charles Rangel of The House Ways of Thieves Committee

Charlie Rangel is back in the news again. Now for accepting trips to the Caribbean from a private corporation. This time he was forced out of his chairmanship of the House Ways and Means committee, which I have, rightfully so, called the House of the Ways of Thieves Committee. Of course Rangel is trying to “fake the high ground” according to him he has stepped down willfully to avoid undue embarrassment to his colleagues.

FoxNews has the skinny on Charlie and his “Gallantry”.

“I respectfully request a leave of absence from my duties and responsibilities as Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means until such time as the Committee on Standards completes findings on the review currently underway.”

House Speaker Pelosi said in a written statement she will “honor” the request. ”I commend Chairman Rangel for his decades of leadership on jobs, health care, and the most significant economic issues of the day,” she said.

Decades of leadership….. more like decades of thievery.

This is fitting; it’s a very liberal use of the term ‘Leadership‘ but of course this is a fine example of  ‘Honor Amongst Thieves‘.

So now he respectfully requests a leave of absence? What about the statement he made on March 2nd?

Rangel spent the last week defying calls for him to step down. He adamantly denied reports Tuesday that he was planning to step aside, telling reporters who asked whether he would stay in his position, “You bet your life on it. And I don’t lie to the press.”

It doesn’t say much for his moral standing does it? I have to wonder what his word is worth these days. He’ll need a Government bail out just to take his oath in court.

Obviously he Can’t Take the Heat so he’s getting out of the Kitchen. But he jump in the fire?

No doubt he read the writing on the walls when other Democrats started to call for his removal from his position of confidence. Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama and member of the Congressional Black Caucus made this statement:

“Representative Rangel has had a long and distinguished career and I respect his leadership. But I believe Congress needs to do more to restore the public trust. An Ethics Committee admonishment is a serious event and Representative Rangel should do the right thing and step aside as Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. I will consider returning the $1,000 contribution he made to my 2008 re-election campaign.”

Return his campaign contribution? Can you say running scared? He may as well be a Leper.

If this rebuke from his own party is any indication of the seriousness of the situation than I’d say Rep. Rangel is all but done; not just in The House Ways of Thieves Committee but possibly in Congress all together. Though Rangel has every intention of returning to his chairmanship after this political shit storm blows over, the Republicans want him permanently removed from the position. Most certainly something to become mid-term election fodder. Any one who wants to allow him to return will look as corrupt and untrustworthy as Rangel himself.

I can’t imagine anyone letting him return to the position let alone Congress. The way I see it he should be “getting to know” his new cell mate in a prison some where.

It’s a Cracked World and guys like Rangel are the ones that made it that way.

Reid and Bunning Spare Over the Fate of Unemployment

Politics | Posted by C.C.Mitchell
Mar 02 2010

Still today Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Democrat from Nevada and Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning are embattled

Sen. Harry Reid

Sen. Harry Reid

in debate over a seemingly routine bill to extend unemployment benefits. Of course we should all know by now that nothing about Congress - or any other WashingTARD - for that matter is routine or mundane.

The trouble began where the bill failed to pay for any of the provisions it institutes. There is no mention of how to pay for the $10 billion for unemployment benefit extensions.

Also wrapped up in this fun little package is funding for road and highway construction which Senator Reid claims employs a million people, I’m quite sure that Senator Reid’s estimations for the number employed by this plan are exaggerated like all the other jobs numbers the White House submits on it s Recovery.gov website.

And last but not least is the “DocFix” provision which would reduce the Medicare compensation for doctors by 21%. I believe without doubt that this is one of the bigger reasons for Sen. Bunning’s blocking of the bill. This is one major sticking point with Obamacare; the reduction of Medicare expenses by screwing over the very doctors that are supposed to give the care.

Sen. Bunning is of the inclination that the various provisions in the bill should be provided for. Pointing out that Sen. Reid and the Democrats had just recently pass the PayGO legislation and are already poised to break the very law they just passed; he called the Democrats Hypocrites. Asking, “Why would you vote for a bill you knew was not going to be honored,” he said. “Why vote for a bill you knew would be violated with the first vote?”

To that point Reid shot back stating that Bunning, who suddenly is concerned with “PayGo didn’t even vote for the PayGo measure in the first place. Nor was he concerned about paying for things when President George W. Bush engaged our nation in two unfunded wars and laid out tax cuts that weren’t paid for either.

I’m confused, Sen. Bunning wants to pay for all expenditures yet didn’t vote for the PayGo measure, and didn’t attempt to pay for numerous expenditures when those expenditures were his parties. While Sen. Reid doesn’t want to use the PayGo measure he recently voted for and criticized the Bunning for not supporting the PayGo measure that he now wants to throw out the window?

Now do you understand where my term Washingtards comes from?

Of course my solution would employ a little more common sense than the WashingTARDS can handle. These three separate issues should be addressed in separate bills. The “Piggybacking” of different unrelated issues on top of one another always creates more scrums than an AHL Hockey game.

This is situation where both men are fight and both men are wrong. There is NEVER a reason not to pay for the expenditures we incur. Though I see Sen. Bunning’s point why did he wait until the country is in such turmoil before deciding to get all “fiscal” on us? The answer is simple: Bunning isn’t running for reelection this fall. He doesn’t care who he pisses off!

Thanks a million…..I mean billion, Senator. You waited until things couldn’t get any worse before you decided to get all fiscal on us. Of course with your golden fleece pension, healthcare plan you won’t need to worry about where your next paycheck is coming from or what doctor is going to be willing to treat you after a 21% pay cut to Medicare you will never have to use.

Let’s not forget Sen. Reid in all of this either. He wasn’t worried about funding expenditures when the Stimulus was passed; or the Omnibus; or when Bush passed TARP either. Fiscal responsibility is just a talking point Reid is using because now more than ever the American people are worried about it and he is trailing by double digits in the Nevada senate race.

Both of these guys have been in Congress since 1986. Where has the fiscal responsibility for the last 25 years been? It is clear to me that their reelection is all that matters to them.

My questions are: How long will it take to move this through and have it paid for? And what will the consequences be if they don’t?

Oh what a Cracked World we live in.
