FREEDOM OR ANARCHY,Campaign of Conscience,

Our government exists by “…the consent of the governed…” I strongly suggest we withdraw that consent

Betrayal Most Foul

In 2010, We, the People, elected a majority of what we thought were conservative Republicans to Congress and state offices all over the country. The state folks have done a pretty good job standing up to the unconstitutional acts of the increasingly totalitarian, tyrannical federal behemoth, putting the interests of the people of their various states first. Not so with Congress. In fact, not even close.



Nearly all of the ostensibly conservative Republicans elected to the House ran on the promise that they would – not would try, but would – repeal the un-American and nation-destroying ObamaCcare. However, not only did they not make any serious efforts to repeal it, they refused to even defund it. Instead, they allowed their “leadership” to sabotage the few who did try. Boehner, McConnell and their lackey underlings rolled over and acceded to every Democrat demand, accepted blame for every Democrat accusation, gave zero support to those who tried to actually do what We, the People elected them to do, and allowed the Party of Marx to score a huge PR victory along with their political one.

Then, amidst all sorts of mealy-mouthed platitudes, excuses, and rationalizations, these turncoats joined with the Establishment RINOS and voted en mass for a budget “deal” that appears to be to the economy what Obama’s “deal” with the Iranian radical Islamists is to foreign policy and national security. This link is to the list of traitors who voted for what may be a fatal increase in our debt and taxes. If your representative is not among the 60 Americans who voted against it, your district has a major problem that can only be fixed by getting rid of the fraud who currently occupies the office.



Bad as all this has been, it’s not the end of the betrayal. Boehner, McConnell, Paul Ryan, and the rest of the Establishment RINO misleadership, are maneuvering, manipulating, lying, intimidating, and pretty much doing the bidding of what are now clearly their Democrat masters, in preparation for ramming “immigration reform,” better known as amnesty for the criminals who have illegally entered the country by the millions, down the throats of We, the People. And in their haste to lick the Gucci loafers of their multinational corporate “donors” who want millions of uneducated, unskilled people willing to work for far less than most Americans, the RINOs have joined forces with the overseers of the Democrat Entitlement Plantation who want millions added to the welfare rolls, millions who will then overwhelmingly vote Democrat.

It’s my guess that the 60 real Americans who voted against the budget “deal” will also vote against amnesty. But 60 out of 435 ain’t gonna cut it. We, the People need to stand up and let the rest of these traitors know, in no uncertain terms, that we will not allow our country to be commandeered in what amounts to a Marxist and neo-fascist coup d’état. We have sat by, like the good law-abiding citizens that we are, while our constitution has been used as toilet paper, while the flag has been trampled in the mud, while our laws have been ignored and broken by criminals and our government (same thing?), while our government has given aid and comfort to our enemies. We have allowed a small, radical minority to take control of the country, a minority whose real, low-profile leaders control vast wealth, a minority out to subsume us, willing or not, into a collectivist world government. It’s way past time to say, “No more!” and take whatever actions are necessary to return us to the Rule of Law.

I highly recommend that everyone read “Rules for Radicals,” the book by Saul Alinsky, mentor of Obama, the Clintons, and most of the people in the current administration. The strategy and tactics presented work both ways. I would also strongly urge people to start seriously looking at what the left does, since it clearly is working a heck of a lot better than what the right has been doing. The notion that using their tactics “brings us down to their level” is simply stupid. Do you not shoot back at an enemy that is shooting at you because it “brings us down to their level”? Folks, these people are shooting at us.

We need to continue what the Tea Party did in 2010, and take to the streets again. Public demonstrations in towns and cities across the nation send a clear message, not only to Washington, but to us, We, the People, that we are strong, we are the majority, and we are not submitting or going away. In addition, we need to think and act outside the proverbial box. For instance, we need to encourage the states to empanel Grand Juries and bring charges against the miscreants in the federal government, since it is obvious that the “Justice” Department won’t. Then, we need to seriously consider marching on Washington and placing the indicted under arrest.

Our government exists by “…the consent of the governed…” I strongly suggest we withdraw that consent.



THIS is what "leading from behind" has wrought. THIS is Obama's foreign policy -- no foreign policy
When The Cat’s Away—The Mice Will Play


Step back.  Take a look at the world today.  It’s an unmitigated MESS!

China and Japan, Russia and Syria, Russia and the Ukraine, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Israel and the so-called Palestinians,  South Sudan, the Central African Republic, Mali, and the Pacific Rim countries,  North Korea, the Philippines, and sundry other places that escape my memory at the moment.

THIS is what “leading from behind” has wrought.  THIS is Obama’s foreign policy—no foreign policy.

Oh, there’s more to come.  As soon as US troops leave Afghanistan, the Taliban will move right back in with great shedding of blood.  Iran will soon have a nuclear bomb, (unless Israel intervenes) as will several other Middle Eastern countries.

South of us, well, South America is keeping a low profile—and that worries me.  Look for Argentina to take another shot at snatching the Falkland Islands from Great Britain—again.

Brazil is on its best behavior these days getting all gussied-up up for the Football World Cup coming up in June.  Venezuela has its own internal problems (so far) trying to imitate Cuba or the old Soviet Union and managing to provide the hemisphere with some tragic humor.

There’s not much coming out of our neighbors to the south these days mainly because the Obama administration seems to have simply written them off, which means the Mainstream Media in the US has no interest in anything happening below Brownsville, Texas, or Key West, Florida.

Oh.  About Obama’s “pivot” to the Pacific Rim? Well, it now appears he has abandoned it. Could it be that has emboldened China to stretch out across the South China Sea and confront Japan over the Senkaku Islands? I hope SOMEONE has made our President aware that we have a binding treaty with Japan to protect them should they be attacked.  No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

According to the “Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security” between the United States and Japan, the US is committed to protecting Japan against an enemy’s attack.  Judging from the Japanese government’s recent consideration toward reevaluating their “no nukes” stance, something tells me the Japanese are worried about Obama’s steadfastness in so far as his standing by America’s treaty obligations with them.

I’ve been around since the tail end of the Great Depression and, frankly, I don’t remember the US being this disengaged globally, well, EVER!

One of the consequences of voluntary isolation for a country is that that country loses any influence it might have on world events.

Nature abhors a vacuum.  Something will fill it.  Russia and China have stepped up and are aggressively filling the void left when Obama took the US into full retreat from the world.  The US has less and less influence around the globe as each day passes.  We are seeing the results of that lack of influence all over the world today.  It is likely to get much worse.

Our President is a joke to foreign governments.  Obama is not what the remainder of the world considers “reliable.”  See, they’re ahead of America’s own citizens in arriving at that precisely correct conclusion.

Consider this from Max Boot at commentarymagazine.com: “Moreover, Americans aren’t happy with Obama’s foreign policy in general: “Forty-nine percent disapproved of Mr. Obama’s foreign policy efforts, up 10 points since early June, and 40 percent approved. The president’s negative rating on foreign policy has grown among Americans of all political stripes, with disapproval up 8 points among Democrats, 10 points among Republicans and 13 points among independents.”

Mr. Boot goes on to say:  “What the public perceives–the same thing that much of the world perceives–is that Obama is weak and vacillating, deliberative but indecisive.”

Consider this from the May/June 2012 issue of Foreign Affairs:  “When Obama was sworn into office in January 2009, he had already developed an activist vision of his foreign policy destiny. He would refurbish the United States’ image abroad, especially in the Muslim world; end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; offer an outstretched hand to Iran; “reset” relations with Russia as a step toward ridding the world of nuclear weapons; elicit Chinese cooperation on regional and global issues; and make peace in the Middle East. By his own account, Obama sought nothing less than to bend history’s arc in the direction of justice and a more peaceful, stable world.”

Those of us who live in the real world had serious misgivings about his grasp of real world politics as soon as we learned of his pie-in-the-sky attitude toward the world situation.  In fact, it frightened old hands at foreign affairs and shocked even more.  It seemed his naivete knew no bounds.  It has turned out that that assessment was nearer to the mark than even we knew at the time.

The recent Obama imbroglio in Syria leads many, yours truly included, into believing Obama has no definitive foreign policy.  He just makes it up as he goes!

One has to wonder how our traditional allies feel about this seeming lackadaisical attitude toward American leadership in the world.  One such ally, Israel, now knows, with a high degree of certainty, they cannot depend upon America as long as Obama is in the Oval Office.  How must Great Britain, France, Germany, Australia, Canada, et al, feel about any dependence upon America these days?

All one is required to do to see the justification in our query is simply observe the mess the world is in today.

Those of us who have been around the block a few times understand the importance and the necessity of remaining involved, of having some skin in the game.  It wasn’t nice. It wasn’t comfortable,  and often it has cost us in blood, sweat, tears and treasure—but it was—and remains—tactically and strategically a necessity even if Obama can’t (or won’t) see it.

As the title to this piece says:  “When the cat’s away, the mice will play.”  Silly me!  I just assumed everyone would understand that the RATS would also slink from the shadows and contribute to the madness and mayhem, as well.

It’s past time for the big cat to come home!
