Independence Day

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 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 harrass 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 Legislature, 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 attention to our Brittish 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 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.

Term Limits

I apologize in advance for the harsh language that follows...

so anyway, I picked up the buzz from the Tweeple about this ass-hat "professor" arguing for the repeal of the 22nd amendment.

"The time has come to end presidential term limits, because continuing the restrictions on how long one can serve in the country's highest office is bad for the United States, a university professor argued this week.
In an opinion piece published in the Washington Post, Jonathan Zimmerman, a history and education professor at New York University, says deciding whether a president deserves a third, fourth or more terms should be left to the American people, not the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which placed a two-term limit on the position."
Fuck.That.Shit.

You want to start talking about repealing Amendments?  Let's start with the 17th.  Then the 16th.  The 22nd is way far down the list.

I am pissed off beyond belief.

pure genius from Chris Muir...

so anyway, Chris Muir of Day By Day fame, has put it on a tee and whacked it smackly:

Obamaha Beach, indeed
Elsewhere, Obama was just warming up with the WWII memorial, now he's upped his game by several orders of magnitude shutting down the ocean. (H/T to Purple Avenger over at AoSHQ)

That's right, TFG has ordered that the fucking OCEAN be closed because of the Federal Government slowdown.  Wanker.

But that's still not all: TFG has barricaded the Iwo Jima monument and the Vietnam wall (monument).

As Ace said about the Iwo Jima issue: "They took the actual Iwo Jima. They're not going to have much of a problem with the Iwo Jima memorial."

I hope the so called "shutdown" goes on for weeks, if not months.  It shows TFG and his cronies for what they are, and the populace will not stand for it.  We've seen smatterings of civil dis-obedience over the past four or five days, I'm hoping it increases exponentially.

BOOM! goes the dynamite!  Fresh of tonight's ONT: The Rebel Alliance is on the move:

Pragmatic Dictatorship

we are so totally boned...

so anyway, via Ace, we find this little gem by Donald Sensing:

"...Obama can do this not because the Constitution or law authorize it. Most definitely they actually prohibit it. He is getting away with it because there is no one who can stop him and almost no one who wants to stop him. No one, and I mean absolutely no one, in the Democrat party is in the slightest interested in reining in Obama's expansion of executive diktat because they know what few of the rest of us are awakening to: the Democrats are never going to lose that executive authority again. Let me be clear, with a promise to elucidate another day: there is never going to be another Republican president. Ever."

Read the whole thing.  It's almost as depressing as my explanation of why Hilary Rodham Clinton will be the next President.

A disturbing realization

and the sooner you realize it, the better...

so anyway, I have some really bad news.  You better pour yourself a stiff drink...and bring the bottle back with you.  I really wish I did not have to tell you this, and I wish it wasn't so, but as much as it pains me to say it, you need to know.

Hillary Rodham Clinton will be elected President of the United States of America in 2016.

This is as certain as Gravity and the Laws of Thermodynamics.

Here's how the whole thing is going to play out:  shortly after the 2014 mid-term elections, Vice President Biden* will leave office.  How or why doesn't really matter, be it scandal or health issues, he'll be gone.

(If you're reading this here at SSP, chances are good that you have more than a passing familiarity with The Constitution, and you know what happens next.)

With Biden out, TFG can nominate anyone he chooses to be VP, to be confirmed by the Senate.  TFG nominates HRC to be VP; and her confirmation is all but guaranteed.  You can almost hear John McCain's speech from the well of the Senate about the "lifetime of service by his dear friend HRC" (I just threw up in my mouth a little).  The sixty votes to confirm HRC as VP are not to be doubted.

Here's the part that requires a willful suspension of dis-belief: after HRC is confirmed and sworn in, TFG starts to fade away.  He'll play a lot more golf, take a lot more vacations, make a few speeches; he'll generally go "low-profile".

HRC will become the new face of the administration and to the LIV and the Gimme Free Shit brigade, all the largess from Capitol City will be by her graces.  Can you say "Hillary Phone"?

So after nearly two years of dolin' out freebies and looking like she runs the government, she's running for President.  It will almost be a re-election campaign.

As for her VP choice; it becomes three dimension chess at that point.  There are those that have suggested that HRC will pick some RINO as a running mate (the stable is full of them: Christie, Rubio, Murkowski, Collins, Snowe, McCain...the list goes on and on) to give the appearance of bi-partaniship.  I doubt it.  Bi-partisanship keeps both parties viable.  The prod-tards' end goal is to have single party, communist rule.

Are you starting to see why it is so important that conservatives take the Senate and retain the House in 2014?

We need to be constantly working to make this happen.  There are nineteen Democrat Senators up for election in 2014; one of "my" Senators (Carl Levin) has already announced his retirement and will not be seeking re-election; I'm sure there are others who will take that path as well.  Here's the list:

Mark Begich AK
Mark Pryor AR
Mark Udall CO
Chris Coons DE
Dick Durbin IL
Tom Harkin IA
Mary Landrieu LA
Mo Cowan MA
Carl Levin MI
Al Franken MN
Max Baucus MT
Jeanne Shaheen NH
Tom Udall NM
Kay Hagan NC
Jeff Merkley OR
Jack Reed RI
Tim Johnson SD
Mark Warner VA
Jay Rockefeller WV

Seriously, the names you readily recognize reads lise the who's who of prog-tardism.  Senator Al Franken?  Really? Really?

Find out who is running against these socialist prog-tards (BIRM) and do what you can to support the conservative candidate however you can.  As of today, there is only 491 days until the 2014 mid-term elections.

Four hundred ninety one days.  That's not much time, considering the task at hand.  We conservatives have to "infiltrate and educate" the LIVs and wake them up.

*Biden has Presidential aspirations of his own, but he doesn't have a machine.  The Clinton's have a machine, and TFG has the Chicago machine.  Biden is bringing a spork to a game of thermonuclear war.

Notes from the week of 24JUN13

lotta stuff went unposted this week, gotta catch up...

so anyway, I apparently have issues that I need to address according to the soon to be ex missus.  It's a long story that I won't bore you with here.  As these issues reside between her ears and behind her eyeballs, I have little concern.  It's a developing story...

Enough with the personal crap, let's light this candle:

"It’s uncomfortable for a lot of people to hear this, but plugging your ears to it and pretending we’re dealing with good men when we’re dealing with cynical, self-serving rulers who use pragmatism as an intellectual crutch isn’t collegial or noble. It’s harmful and complicit." - Jeff Goldstein

My apologies, I failed to capture the url of the specific post, and Jeff's trackback link points to his front page.  Follow the link, scroll and read until you find that quote.  Time spent reading Protein Wisdom is time well spent.

so anyway, surfin' around the inter-web net-tubes at lunch, there's quite a buzz over something that Glenn Beck is going to reveal as early as today.  From all the chatter, it sounds like Beck thinks he can prove that TFG blackmailed SCOTUS Chief Justice Roberts to rule in favor of Obamacare.

Or, as I call it: BOHICA.

Details on this reveal can be found at Conservative Daily News,or over at The Blaze (duh).

We shall see.

Two for Tuesday

things you need to read...

so anyway, today yielded two "must read" pieces, presented here for your convenience.

First, Pat Caddell, over at Breitbart's Big Government:

"The sordid revelations from the Obama administration are coming at a pace that can only be described as, well, fast and furious. So let’s lay down some markers here, as a sort of road map for the months and years ahead:"
He's just getting started.

Second, Rand Paul has an excellent op-ed in today's Wall Street Journal:
"What is objectionable is a system in which government has unlimited and privileged access to the details of our private affairs, and citizens are simply supposed to trust that there won’t be any abuse of power. This is an absurd expectation. Americans should trust the National Security Agency as much as they do the IRS and Justice Department."

Protest Time

today is the day...it's long overdue

so anyway, via Doug Ross we see this:


Over at Red State, Dana Loesch (who's been to a protest or three over the years) has some guidelines:
"... Protests drive attention to the issue being protested. In this case, it’s the IRS and big government. Entre caveat: I don’t want to see a single sign about Obama. I don’t want to see a single sign about Biden. Or FLOTUS. Or vacations. Or anything other than the overreaching power of big government. No signs on anything other than this malicious and criminal behavior was perpetuated by a government too big to be held accountable."
Glenn Reynolds adds another important caveat:  watch out for infiltrators.
