"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgement to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is merely a symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools who made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

An excellent description of the Kenyan sitting in the White House, inept and incompetent.
His 8 year reign as a harbinger of destruction, devastation, stupidity, ignorance, corruption, war mongering, job losing, economy busting and mayhem ended January 20,2009.
To bring you up to date BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, unlike Bush, an AMERICAN man in possession of a brain and also class took over the Bush administration's colossal mess and is proceeding to clean it up. :-)

The original meaning of the general welfare clause as a modifier and not a separate spending power, from the grammatical structure of words, text and punctuation appearing in the Constitution. What is commonly referred to as the “spending clause” is actually the taxing clause with the modifying words that follow and limit and circumscribe the purpose and basis for laying taxes. The word “spend” does not appear in Article I of the Constitution. The words, “to pay the Debts and provide for the Defense and general Welfare of the United States;” are listed as three purposes that constrain the power to lay and collect taxes. The Constitution is saying that taxes laid not for the purpose of paying debts and providing for national defense and general welfare – are illegal taxes. This is a far cry from saying Congress is being delegated a special power to spend for anything it chooses to call “general welfare”.
A careful reading of the enumerated powers listed one by one in Section 8 of Article I reveals something of significance. The terminus of each enumerated power addressing a particular subject ends with a semi-colon. After each enumeration – such as “To borrow money; To Reg...

Notice that in a Democracy, the sovereignty is in the whole body of the free citizens. The sovereignty is not divided to smaller units such as individual citizens. To solve a problem, only the whole body politic is authorized to act. Also, being citizens, individuals have duties and obligations to the government. The government's only obligations to the citizens are those legislatively pre-defined for it by the whole body politic.
In a Republic, the sovereignty resides in the people themselves, whether one or many. In a Republic, one may act on his own or through his representatives as he chooses to solve a problem. Further, the people have no obligation to the government; instead, the government being hired by the people, is obliged to its owner, the people.
The people own the government agencies. The government agencies own the citizens. In the United States we have a three-tiered cast system consisting of people ---> government agencies ---> and citizens.
The people did "ordain and establish this Constitution," not for themselves, but "for the United States of America." In delegating powers to the government agencies the people gave up none of their own. (See Preamble of U.S. Constitution). This adoption of this concept is why the U.S. has been called the "Great Experiment in self government." The People govern themselves, while their agents (government agencies) perform tasks listed in the Preamble for the benefit of the People. The experiment is to answer the question, "Can self-governing people coexist and prevail over government agencies that have no authority over the People?"
The citizens of the United States are totally subject to the laws of the United States (See 14th Amendment of U.S. Constitution). NOTE: U.S. citizenship did not exist until July 28, 1868.
Actually, the United States is a mixture of the two systems of government (Republican under Common Law, and democratic under statutory law). The People enjoy their God-given natural rights in the Republic. In a democracy, the Citizens enjoy only government granted privileges (also known as civil rights).
There was a great political division between two major philosophers, Hobbes and Locke. Hobbes was on the side of government. He believed that sovereignty was vested in the state. Locke was on the side of the People. He believed that the fountain of sovereignty was the People of the state. Statists prefer Hobbes. Populists choose Locke. In California, the Government Code sides with Locke. Sections 11120 and 54950 both say, "The people of this State do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them." The preambles of the U.S. and California Constitutions also affirm the choice of Locke by the People.
It is my hope that the U.S. will always remain a Republic, because I value individual freedom.
Thomas Jefferson said that liberty and ignorance cannot coexist.* Will you help to preserve minority rights by fulfilling the promise in the Pledge of Allegiance to support the Republic? Will you help by raising public awareness of the difference between the Republic and a democracy?

Have pity on them, however! If you were a sheep and had Obama for a shepherd, you be a bit starved for ideas as well!
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
In verse 19 they "changed" where the comma was, it has a different meaning then the original one.
19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
But when you put it back in the orig, it means much more. Read above then to the correct way below. Out loud, it makes a difference even in your spirit.
When the enemy shall come in, "like a flood" the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. Sounds just like the God I serve and have experienced my entire life. Blessings to you Andrew.
