Wednesday 2/17. When the impostor announced that he would not be attending the funeral of Supreme Court Justice Scalia, I became so furious that I knew I could no longer hold back in my blog. That act itself is just a reflection of his disdain for America. The man has no sense of the honor and duty that come with the office of President. He has defiled that office with his arrogance and set an example that that will have dire consequences for decades to come. There are duties required of the person sitting at the desk of the oval office that have nothing to do with personal feelings. Attending the funeral of a Supreme Court Justice is one of them. It is honoring the office, not specifically the person who filled it. It is honoring an important part of America. But the man in the White House simply has neither a concept of honor nor real belief in America and the concepts upon which it was built.
His eight years in office have become, and will be remembered as, the beginning of the end of this incredible free country, and our weak, self-absorbed, greed-ridden Congress has done nothing to stop him. I am so angry that Americans have become so complacent as to let this happen. And now many of them are seriously backing a socialist candidate for President. Do they know nothing about history?! Tyranny/monarchy and various forms of democracy are the only successful forms of government. While tyranny can last for centuries, the average life span for a democracy is usually about 250 years. It lasts until elected officials realize that they can enact laws that will give them anything they want, and in doing so, destroy the very form of government that gave them that freedom. The following quotes say it much better than I can:
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. Thomas Jefferson
That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history. Aldous Huxley
Democracy in itself does not define or guarantee a free society. History has told many stories of democratic societies that have degenerated into corruption, plunder and tyranny. Richard M. Ebeling
I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as the law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts. Ronald Reagan
The true patriot scrutinizes the actions of his own government with unceasing vigilance. And when his government violates the morality and rightness associated with principles of individual freedom and private property, he immediately rises in opposition to his government. Jacob G. Hornberger
Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence. Justice Tim C. Clark
The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance. Cicero, 55 BC - So evidently we have learned nothing in the past 2071 years.
Thought for the day: Elected officials and diapers need to be changed often, and for the same reason.
