It's Not a Social Issue!

Recently I was listening to Talk Show radio covering the upcoming Michigan and Arizona Republican Presidential Primaries, mainly between former Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) and former Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA). The host was saying that these two candidates as well as the Republican leadership in Congress are making a mistake when they call out Obama on social issues, where in the host’s view, they should be concentrating on the economy.

The host saying it was a losing strategy to bang on Obama for trying to make religious institutions pay for birth control for the employees, and of course Obama rapidly backed up on that saying that instead the (evil) insurance companies will foot the bill to provide free contraceptives. For one point none of us believe that this is free in the first part – the insurance companies will pass of those costs in higher premiums to all, including the people who religious beliefs are contrary to birth control. Before you know it, it’ll be mandatory “free’ abortions.

But here’s a thought I heard on a different talk show,…..what if medical researchers found a “gay gene” which unborn babies could be tested for? Whould these liberals still be for open abortions for all? Or would they further expose their radical leftwing agenda and make some rule where abortions are okay as a means of birth control except where you want an abortion on a unborn child who has a Gay gene.

But I digress,…..the point is that the Conservative upset on Obama’s call for religious institutions to directly or indirectly fund the pill against their religious beliefs it not necessarily a social issue. It is a Constitutional issue because of, one – the direct assault on the first amendment, and two – a usurpation of powers to the executive office which are, frankly, like a Central American dictatorship.

And this is not like the first time it has happened in the last three years or since Obama took the oath of office. Obama has unconstitutionally created Czars; used stimulus funds to run conservatives out of the retail car market; ordered and/or allowed the Justice Department to let federal criminals go unpunished (such as the Black militants threatening voters in PA) and instead focused on suing the states who won’t accept either Obama’s incompetence or attacks on the Constitution. Obama gave us Obamacare,….you have to pass the bill to see what’s in it? Are you kidding me? Now we have see some of what is in it and are disgusted by it.

We have seen anti-business regulation after regulation; Obama putting this country's very security at risk with his anti-drilling and anti-pipeline positions he takes. He gave us Solyndra,….$550 million for a bankrupt company. Obama’s further violations include declaring himself, absence of congress'es approval, when congress is in session or not, then making appointments of his anti-business buddies to run the Consumer Protection Agency.

For God’s sake now we have USDA inspectors in elementary school telling mothers what makes a nutritious lunch?

Nope.....these are Constitutional issues. One man or one branch of office does not have these powers. The Democrats controlled Congress for his first two years, and who now control just the Senate, are allowing him to do this. Damn right we need to make this an issue come the late summer.

Sheriffs Stand Tall for the Constitution

I am grateful for someone sending me the link to a coalition of County Sheriffs in Northern California and Southern Oregon who are standing up for the people against intrusions into Liberty (and dare I say common sense) by the Federal Government.

The 10th Amendment, stating "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." It designed to restrict powers of the Federal Government, yet the Federal Government uses the "commerce clause" as well as Presidential edict,..err,....executive orders and cabinet agency regulations to grab more and more power.

Back to these counties,.....who are facing execution of uninhibited powers by the Federal Government in destroying dams that provide water and electrical power in favor of fish; shutting down access roads to Federal Lands that will minimize the Counties' ability to access and conduct search and rescue operations, and, search for marijuana fields operated by foreign nationals, notably Mexican nationals, in the employ of Mexican cartels.

Access to recreational areas for hikers, bikers and horseback riding as well as fishing are all affected. Other Federal Regulatory infringement kills the lumber industry and hurts the farming and ranching that have been the life of multiple generations of families.

The video below is long, 64 minutes, but worth every second of your attention.

There are eight county sheriffs from Northern California and Southern Oregon speaking on a panel to Defend Rural America on 22 October 2011. Despite the low media coverage there were about 700 people in attendance from all over California, Oregon and as far away as Wyoming. The sheriffs made it perfectly clear that they are the last line of defense for their citizens and given authority by the 10th
Amendment.
