Football Style – Political Class Waste
Since the eighteenth century it has been taken for granted by political thinkers that, in a true democracy governed by the rule of law, the government must be separate from the body that makes laws, which must in turn be separate from the judges who enforce the law. Only if these three functions are kept completely independent each from the other can the state be sure that there are proper checks and balances on the powers of the government and on the activities of the legislature and that all three bodies are as free from corruption as any human institution can be.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, R- Ala., has indicated that the Constitution may have been violated because the understanding of the constitution is that the government must play a limited role in the commerce and free trade of the nation. Forcing people to buy health care is anything but limited and may clearly be seen to most Americans as a step toward a complete takeover of their rights and free enterprise as it has been for over two centuries. The Senate Democrats have ignored the will of the people with their wrangling and wresting of this bill to a vote that could not fail because of the majority of seats and sweetheart last minute deals. It is a bill with other costs attached. Taxpayers will be asked to pick up the tab eventually but the happy days of the Democrats will most certainly come to an abrupt halt in the 2010 elections. Here is where the Democrats will have to pick up the rest of the costs in dozens of defeats in the polls. Many political careers will come to an abrupt halt in 2010 and Christmas next year will produce a lot of coal in the stockings of the Dem’s.
All this changes with the introduction of the Supreme Court which gives the law lords their own court building and a new distinct identity and higher profile – a profile which should be raised further by the fact that there will be much better public access to their proceedings.
The Rock the Vote video objectifies women, speaks reams about the shape of America’s MTV generation and leaves a taste in the mouth something like a rotten egg. It seems to prove that even with all that is new in packaging, advertising and marketing the contents of the latest treats should still be checked for an expiration date. It also proves that there is still very often a fine line and a short space between proclamation and regurgitation. So will the Supreme Court take up the question of the healthcare bills constitutionality? We might want to refer that question to the birthers who after enduring almost two years of public ridicule are still looking for one honest judge to give them and the American public the right to glance at the real Obama birth certificate. The BC is only one of about twenty or so other documents about Obama’s past that remain mysteriously albeit conspicuously missing from anything that might be construed as an open and public record on Mr. Transparency.
Already heard loud and clear are the voices of the Democratic holy trinity of Obama, Reid and Pelosi referring to the Senate passage of the bill as history in the making. Getting out ahead of themselves again and failing to note that the terror of 9/11, hurricane Katrina and the recent attack on servicemen at Ft. Hood are also history. If the bill remains in check the costs passed on to America will also make history and the only holy thing about that will be the holes in the socks of those who can’t afford to pay for it. This is a victory of the Democratic House and Senate that will indeed make history but it will be filed in our national annuls as a victory without honor. It is well known that Abraham Lincoln was at times referred to as the prophet President, but perhaps we should include patriot John Adams in the list of founders with powers of divination. Could Adams have been looking into the future all the way up to the Christmas of 2009 when he said “In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress.”
The war in Iraq is the oracle of what went wrong for the Republicans. And, their legacy might forever remain a government that initiated a war in Iraq causing our nation to lose many courageous soldiers who fought a battle with a mission that is yet unknown.
